The Rare Replay may have garnered more attention during E3, but this new pirate game from Rare could be a lot of fun.

The world needs more good pirate video games. I hope this turns out to be one of them.

The potential for this is amazing. Reminds me of the vibes I got from all the fun of Red Dead Redemption free roam but you know...pirates instead of cowboys.

Yes yes yes. I absolutely loved the pirate ship combat in Sly 3. This looks very much similar and I'm excited.

So will this be all instanced multiplayer ship battles or a full-blown MMO?

I just don't trust Rare anymore, honestly. Hopefully they can do something special.

Seriously this is the FIRST game in two years where I have said "Err maybe I should get an Xbone?"

I pretty much wrote Rare off as dead. So Rare Replay came across as a depressing eulogy for a long dead corpse. But, this pretty much make me not even care about Rare Replay. In fact, Replay is useless backwards looking distraction at this point.

Rare, just make games you god-damn fools. Microsoft is gonna notice and will start demanding you make Halo shit or something soon enough. Makes game while you still have a chance! Fly you fools!!

I really hope it's not just multiplayer ship battles.

If you're not Call of Duty or Halo, multiplayer-only is the kiss of death. Lookin at you, Evolve.

I dunno if this game will be for me, not much into 'shared' experiences that are clearly tailored for multiplayer even when given the impression it can be played solo much like another game last year.

I'm selfish, and I'm still waiting for this awesome pirate single player video game to appear --which this is clearly not-- but, looks pretty nonetheless.

Would be neat if they explained what the game is, exactly. This seems to imply that you'll be cooperating in small groups to sail pirate ships, which will probably require several friends with an flexible schedule.

I'm wondering what the land exploration will be like. What will you be looking for? Will there be quests of some sort? The potential for this game is massive though.

@pixelpushr: Indeed. A rare game coming to PC at launch sounds great.

It looks too empty and dull. How about playing witcher, where you can have your OWN BOAT that you don't have to share with anyone? You can have ALL THE BOATS! I think it's an easy choice you guys, witcher wins. This thing doesn't even TRY to be a game. Come on.

Just imagine the voices of the children as they practically beg you to walk the plank for the 100th time.

I do truly hope this game turns out to be great, This is kind of one of those dream games for me, Pirates of the burning sea was close, but you could not have a fully multiplayer crew. This one looks closer to what I was looking for, Excited to see how this turns out!

If nothing else, it's wonderful to see Rare making a real video game.

This is what happens when a Kinect-focused studio is free from Kinect to concentrate on stuff the studio probably wanted to do for a long time. Very promising!
