'Sea Of Thieves' Reveals New Stormy Weather System In Gameplay
Rare has bean steadily revealing awesome stuff from Sea Of Thieves, mainly because it's cool but also because they know we're not seeing the game until next year. So why not share some of the cool stuff now. They've been creating a video series called "Inn-Side Story" on YouTube where they've been giving away pieces of news and showing off new stuff as it comes along. The latest video is about the weather, but trust is, it isn't boring.
Specifically, they're showing off the stormy weather mechanics that will be active in the game. Ther's a lot of puzzle pieces that go into creating the perfect storm and making that kind of stuff feel natural, fair, and unpredictable all at the same time. By the sound of what's talked about in the video from Valentine Kozin, who is the Principal Technical Artist and Shelley Preston, who is the Senior Designer, it appears they have it down to near perfect design.
At the very least, this is the kind of stuff that will make games in Sea Of Thieves more interesting, because it's an unpredictable force that you can't account for, and therefore no one has an unfair advantage. Well, until you have that one guy who gets used to shooting sniper shots in a rocky motion.
