Really necro ? :p The water is the only half decent looking thing in that video. Everything else is just the charming artistic presentation. Nothing to write home about.

I have gone through a couple of articles on the internet I think from Polygon and IGN praising the game (beta). Honestly, I dont know whats in the game that looks enjoyable as Janario pointed out this looks more like a F2P game.

[h=2]Rare unveils ‘running on a potato’ specs for Sea of Thieves[/h]



Rare is going overboard with performance recommendations for its upcoming nautical adventure, Sea of Thieves, including a promise that the Windows PC version of the game is designed to run even on underpowered rigs. You can also take the visual fidelity as high as you’d like, as evidenced by the spec sheet for the game provided by the studio.
But getting a game that looks this good to run on weaker systems had to have taken a lot of work.
“Our rendering team set themselves the goal early on of ‘how low can we go,’ sometimes also referred to fondly as ‘getting the game running on a potato,’ which is why we want to deliver a great version of the game even for those with computers below our official minimum spec,” wrote Ted Timmins, PC design lead at Rare, on the Sea of Thieveswebsite. “The game is perfectly playable at 540p, and one of the advantages of Xbox Play Anywhere is that if you own an Xbox One AND a low-spec laptop you can still take full advantage of it, and we absolutely encourage it!”
You can take a look at the various visual options for the game below, along with the hardware you would need to run the game at that level. Click on the image for a version at full resolution:
Rare/Microsoft Studios
This is a pretty detailed breakdown of how Sea of Thieves will look on a variety of systems, and it’s good to know that the game will scale well enough that just about any system will get a good experience. We’re looking forward to testing the full range of graphical options when Sea of Thieves launches on PC and Xbox One on March 20. In the meantime, check out our Arrful Squad video from the game’s beta last month.

Damn nice, looks fun. People who can't understand how is this enjoyable, maybe they haven't played Black Flag? where half of the time was spent in the seas, lol, and it was fun as hell.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
