I.doubt it would get canned at this point. The game has been playable for sometime and has always had a alpha/beta. All the previews and hands-on that I have read were very encouraging. Scalebound I don't think had been played by the public and the game play video they showed was very lack luster.

Why not? It's gonna score in the 70's and sell like crap. No profits here, might as well can it.

I'm just making a post in this thread so if it does get canned i won't be accused of never caring about the game because i didn't post much in the thread.

Oh I Wasnt being serious.
 
Hope it sells well though. If it doesn't it's likely back to developing Kinect games for Rare. What a travesty it would be to let them make a new Banjo or Conker game.

This isn't getting much love in the gaming media and i'm not sure why? It looks fun, beautiful and pretty damn unique.

You think?

All the stuff I have seen and read on media sites has been very positive.

There hasn't really been all that much shown or told though.

Xbox game but also as niche as everyone claims JRPGs to be. It's a multiplayer game with not a whole lot of depth from what i can tell. I think it will be fun but forgotten quickly. Or it could explode like Minecraft. Who the hell knows. It's just one of those games with potential.

New video time..about co-op.

So, given how they showed the ship layout & features relative to co-op, I guess that means players playing alone will have to use pretty small boats to play alone? As that will allow them to see more in general, and allow them to view maps and navigate on their own.

Yeah, you'll have a smaller ship and they will allow you to play on your own.

In a conversation with GamesBeat, Sea of Thieves lead designer Mike Chapman explained that these team battlers are only one small slice of the overall experience.

“The goal for us was to create a rich pirate world,” he said. “When you look at the cinematic trailer and see all the familiar pirate tropes, your mind kinda fills with the possible quests. For us, we want to allow people to be the pirate they want to be. If you want to be the solitary pirate who sales around on a small, one-man ship, we want to allow you to do that.”

At the same time, Rare isn’t going to fudge things to help a single-person vessel take on a larger opponent.

“It’s better to play with other people, but I don’t mean that mechanically. It makes sense in the world,” he said. “If I have a bigger group, I can control a bigger ship. I can man more cannons. I can repair at the same time that someone is on the wheel. You’re gonna be a little bit more limited when you’re on your own, but not because we’re limiting players.”

Instead, Rare wants to empower people who play together with a different experience that is more complex and rewarding because you can do more when working in unison.

“When people see our game, they think that it looks like a classic Rare action adventure,” said Chapman. “That’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to build most cooperative adventure game, but we don’t want to limit what players can do for people who want to get lost in the world. That’s just as valid.”

It all sounds promising...hoping to get a beta invite soon so I can see for myself.

No, they haven't announced dates for it but it should be happening soon.
