From a group of beans sailing a ship in a flat sea, to getting a crossover with pirates of the caribbean, it's crazy to see how much this game has grown. And I'm proud to be a pirate that sails these waters.
@@manuelzumbo3973 The journey matters more than the destination on this game, it's an EXPLORATION game, where you get to sail the seas and create your own fun. You can look for hidden treasures as you roam the seas, fight skeletons, megalodons, krakens or other players, follow very well written questlines in the Tall tales, be a merchant, besiege a fortress, be a serial killer and get rewards for it. Do whatever you want. Don't wait for the devs to give you reasons to play, that's a sandbox, find your own!
@@mikeonlinux5491 HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA EXPLORATION GAME bruh what you want to explore? The sea? A small island with a rock and a three? Hahahahhaa you literally admitted that you have nothing to do lol
@@mikeonlinux5491 bruh you really sound like a fortune biscuit advice , you make poem of nothing... things you can do in the game: go from place A to place B and then vice versa for some money to buy cosmetics, story quest, pvp if you are lucky... stop
Has nothing to do with the engine, they use the Unity client to test new ideas and gameplay mechanics before fully implementing them into the UE4 version of the game.
The 2015 Announcement trailer was not a working game, just a concept render. its crazy how well they implemented that concept and how close it looks so the current state of the game though!
I can honestly say as a Technical Alpha player and Beta player it’s probably the best pirate game out there right now, since it checks all the boxes for what people want. The only possible game that could beat it is just an idea too so it comes out on top easily
Man in 2 years they built an entire physics engine, design 3 ships, recorded and coded at least 1 instrument, made the ferry of the damned, implemented character skins, added texture to water, wood, sand, cannons, barrels etc, added skeletons, multiple guns and a day night cycle (Im probably forgetting a lot). If the original footage was real, then that is a lot of work for 2 years!
Really the prototype wasn't on 2014 but 2013 aprox. Also the footage was towards the end of 2014, but for that moment the art team already started working on the visuals and all of that. Also, 2015 was mostly a cinematic trailer, was not 100% gameplay.
The early version was the blockout version of the game. Once the code was complete, all they had to do was make the assets which isn't too difficult with enough practice. The one thing that blows my mind is the water physics in the game. It isn't easy to get right, let alone make transitioning to different areas feel seamless.
I put 100 hours into this game back in 2018 and now started playing again in my Series S, the game has so many new content i don't even know where to begin...definitely the MOST underrated Xbox game
@@KingsBardI’ve had this dream to get an entire alliance server to sing an improv version of “the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”. Lyrics referencing everything you do in Sea of Thieves
0:21 I love how grog was in the game since the prototype. "Hey, what's left on the checklist for the prototype?" "Did you remember to implement the grog? We aren't able to show the prototype without it." "Oh yeah."
@@manuelzumbo3973 So? All updates are free. You got to play from day one and have fun with your friends. The game mechanics are deep enough not to be boring, and that's the most complete sandbox pirate game on the market anyway.
@@mikeonlinux5491 lol deep enough hahahahahha find treasure to buy cosmetics, that's all at the begin it only was this... after years now can be considered a game and have something too do... who cares if update was free a game have to be released ready and not whit nothing to do
@@manuelzumbo3973 SAILING mechanics are the core of the game. You are a pirate. You sail to find great treasures and sometimes combat other pirates/merchants/creatures. That's it. What more do you want? Of couse upgrades are only cosmetics, because the progression in this game comes from your SKILLS at playing the game, not from the fact your gun is better than the one of your opponent. A new player coming today on the game would have the same chances (on paper) than an experienced pirate who played from the release. The only difference is the experienced pirate will have... well... experience... That greatly changes the outcome of a fight. An experienced pirate can easily win 1 vs 4 on a sloop vs a rookie crew on a galleon. That's the beauty of this game, you don't play to EARN better things, you play to GET better at the game. Sometimes you will find frienly pirates and share some adventures (and even treasures), other times you will encounter maniacs who will kill on sight. You never know when you might end up in a fight. A ship can always come from nowhere (especially in a storm) because you did not see it (you might not have paid attention, being busy to keep your ship afloat in the storm) and you will HAVE to adapt or die and lose your precious treasures. It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey :)
@@mikeonlinux5491 a game can't focus on only one thing is dumb ash bruh... and you sound like a clown when the game come out THE ONLY thing you had to do was go on a island with the map and take the treasure or go in the island do a dumb enigma and find the treasure and stop... in fact they had to put in the game many other quest, mechanics and story cause he wasn't a game when he came out and he needed many years to become a real game
the pirates life update is awesome. Even when i first got sea of thieves, i tried making my pirate look like jack sparrow and made my ship look like the black pearl.
As a technical alphamplayer I'm so privileged to of been enjoying the content for so long. 5 years and counting. Such a amazing game.. It's not about the gold, it's about the glory!
“From the great beast of the Stone Age” to the full working computer technologies of the Industrial Age, take a minute look back if they had never made computers, Xbox’s etc. we would never have this gem of a game
What i loved the most in this was ... Phil Spencer! He just became head of xbox back in 2014 when he was playing the prototype, even though the prototype was looking horrible (thats normal) he actually believed in it! And he believed on the team. Look where the game is now ❤️! That's why Xbox brand got WAY improved since he stepped up 💪🏽
Even though the gameplay was pretty barebones and boring at launch, I respect them for getting a solid base for the gameplay, world, and quests before worrying about graphics at all.
To think how far this game has come... From humble beginnings to a Pirates of the Carribean crossover... Truly amazing... I've been playing since it launch..
I remember playing this game at a friend's house in 2017 I think, I thought it was cool but only had a 360 at the time, and summer last year I remembered that I wanted this game and am able to get it, so I did and I was not disappointed, its one of my main games and will probably stay that way
I was gifted this game last month by my friend and crewman and I've already reached pirate legend! Even stolen two Athenas! Crazy to see how far the game has come since its Vegetales inception. See yall out there
The game's evolution in content made me buy it recently, and the way the game is updated with some frequency can make the game even better and more interesting over time.
If im being totally honest i always loved the game because i loved just wandering around, on my boat :) this game is beautiful. the graphics are amazing, so seeing so much water and waves, how can i resist trying to launch myself in the sky U-U
Sea of Runescape looked like one of those hidden gem indie games no one played but everyone who did enjoyed and hoped the playercount could get into double digits again.
I'm one of the few people that had pre ordered this game, I haven't came across anyone with the black dog set or day 1 eye patch since 2018. I feel as if I'm one of the Rare OG's that you come across once in a blue moon and I love it.
@@mikeonlinux5491 “sand box pirate game” there is like only one game that fits under that genre lmao, best Action Adventure game? No. Best PvE game? No. Best PvP game? No.
no wonder that xbox and pc gaming has hit its renesans, Phil is just chad of a gamer, he is realy a leggend in the gaming industry and i'm happy that he in his possition
It looks like they got most of the mechanics working first and then just polished out all the graphics afterwards which is very strange development cycle
Who cares if it took awhile to get where we’re at. Ik me personally bro, SoT became one of my all time favorite games very quickly. Nothing beats you and the boys stacking all night having a blast.
I used to play the beta too :) Got it day one via Gamepass, bought the game instantly, never regretted it. It quickly became the best pirate game ever.
I kind of wish the original ship design and bean people wear cosmetics you could get in the game imagine a ship that looks like it's straight out of Lego world and a bunch of mighty beanz coming after you

From a group of ppl who is interested in pirates to a captain full of savvy(Jack Sparrow) against the tentacle man(Davy Jones)

Captain Jack Sparrow, but i suspect you already knew that.
