Doesn't RARE have any original ideas? That's like if Naughty Dog didn't have confidence in telling a compelling story with Uncharted and Nathan Drake, and decide to throw in Indiana Jones to get everyone excited and say "Hey guys, guess what, Uncharted is in the same universe as Indiana Jones, and they're both archeologists, so this makes perfect sense!"

It’s a multiplayer game. Mortal Kombat got Terminator, Freddy Kruger, Predator, and a few others I’m forgetting.

Fortnite also got a bunch of popular characters.

Jack Sparrow just happens to fit within the SoT world.

Remember, RARE, not long ago, were creating avatar clothing. This was their job as a dev. It ain't random that we haven't seen shit about their new title that i always forget the title off of. They're incompetent.

You're whining about Rare, yet use a company whose biggest games are 3D platformers made in the height of Mario 64 popularity, and a game about zombies, gee, like that's never done before. And Nathan Drake is just Lara Croft with a dick who is just Indiana Jones with a vag.

If you can get your hands on Disney’s IP, you do it. PotC is essentially over, at least the Depp iterations, so why not diversify and cash-in while there’s some nostalgia nerves to tickle?

Disney is the company who doesn’t know its ass from its feet here. Their stable of IP and resources would lead you to think they could make videogames, but they are terrible at it, hence why they’d just rather license everything they can to anyone.

SOT one of the most kid friendly pirate games made that still maintains a dedicated fanbase, yeah mystifying why they would partner up with Disney's Pirate franchise.

This is getting to special needs levels. Jebus, it was just a good Xbox E3 event, get over it.

Anyways, the only thing I want from SoT is a chill single player/co-op mode but I'll never get it. Just let me travel the sea and explore some islands. Such a moody game it's a shame I can't be enjoy it.

Felt like the laziest and most profitable thing they could do.

Very boring, but good for business.

Back then, MS said it wasn't going to get Pirates of the Caribbean (my favorite Disney franchise) due to license issues when Sea of Thieves launched, and now, here we are. I guess MS had to pay a hefty fee for it to happen. Sea of Thieves is still trying to add content, so Pirates of the Caribbean makes sense.

Sea of Thieves already has a campaign with its Tall Tales missions. Tons of lore behind it.

This is just a fun little side campaign. And it's absolutely free, so why are you people hating? Get a Xbox or PC and join in on the fun. It's that simple.

I'm pretty sure you guys have beaten Ratchet and Clank within a day and now have absolutely nothing to play...

What I'm really curious about is whether Depp voicing Jack Sparrow for a Disney property (?) again means their embargo towards him, due to the Amber Heard case, is actually over. I'd want to see him return in the next PotC movie as long as the writing and his part are well thought out.

Yo MS, if you are looking for more creative content. How about a Pirates of Dark Water content? No one hasn't done that, could be interesting😉

Ironically, that was WB who canned him, not Disney just yet. WB didn't want nothing to do with Johnny Depp in the next upcoming Fantastic Beast 3 which really pissed me off cause I was invested on his role with Gellert Grindelwald. Disney is still on good terms with Depp, Disney is looking to reboot Pirates of the Caribbean without Depp and that was way before the whole Amber Heard case. As for voicing, I doubt it as his likeness in Kingdom Hearts 3 wasn't voice by Depp, so expecting no Depp voicing in SoT.

seems like the most obvious tie-in possible.. certainly has me interested in hopping back into the game to check out the new content..

and lol at saying Rare has no original ideas when there is literally no other game like Sea of Thieves..

@davillain-: @UnnDunn: Well it sounds way too much like Depp so I assumed it's him. Growing old has had an impact on the voice but I'm still pretty sure it's actually him.

edit: Nevermind I just looked it up and it's a voice double. https://www.gameinformer.com/e3-2021/2021/06/13/sea-of-thieves-gets-an-original-story-starring-jack-sparrow

License content sells, and this game does have monetization options. It also adds content to the game to keep community vibrant, and it is a popular film franchise so no doubt may bring in new players.

The biggest hurdle to get around would be getting Disney to be on board with a project like that.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a much bigger franchise than SoT so it makes sense it bring it in when it fits the theme.
