![]() There’s definitely some learning there but really, how does it work with a group? How does it work with ten plus enemies and all of that is just kind of learning and going through the boat and process. It’s a really slow kind of more realistic, say World of Warships type game which is definitely more like a simulator but is still a great game. Things like boarding and when you attack with your crew, all of those elements are things that we added in.īut in this genre, there aren’t a lot of choices. We wanted to make sure that the game was much more reactive, combat was faster pace, and we made sure there was a greater variety of weapons and armor. If Sea of Thieves wasn’t for you, Skull and Bones might be what you’re looking for.Follow us on Twitter Follow and Tweet us Tweet to naval combat is a type/genre of game that’s rarely focused in other games, so what were the key ideas when Ubisoft was developing Skull and Bones? How did you want it to look?īarnard: I joined the team about a year and a month ago so we’ve done a lot of improvements and touch-ups to the naval combat, but a lot of that has already been set in motion with the previous game director but I can tell you that there was a lot of inspiration from the original Assassin Creed Black Flag when we started. It looks like Ubisoft Singapore has used the extra development time wisely and created something that fills a gap in the multiplayer pirate-sim market, which I guess is a thing now that there’s two of them. It may be another open-world action game, but it's nice to see Ubisoft breaking the mold with Skull and Bones. This way, everyone gets to be the captain, and every ship gets to be your own. As much as I like the idea of rushing around a galleon firing cannons and bailing out water with my two best friends, three men on a boat isn’t exactly an authentic pirate experience. ![]() ![]() More ships means bigger, more exciting battles too. One can build a hauler to carry all of the treasure home, while another can build a reinforced battleship to defend the team. This way, each player can customize their own ship to better serve the fleet. While my gut reaction to this was negative, the more I think about it the more sense it makes. Instead, each player is the captain of their own ship and has control over a full crew of pirates. The big difference between the two games is that you aren’t teaming up with your friends to man a ship together in Skull and Bones. Now that Ubisoft’s Sea of Bones has finally been re-revealed, I have hope that it will be the pirate game I’ve always wanted. Still, my love for the pirate life lives on, and I’ve been waiting for someone to take the Sea of Thieves formula to the next level. Rare did eventually add private servers to Sea of Thieves, but only for streamers to play with their communities, so I’ve long given up any hope for the game. ![]() Related: What's Going On With The Ubisoft Forward? I’ll admit, it’s a very pirate thing to do. For many, the appeal of Sea of Thieves is that you can be a piece of shit to other people who are just trying to enjoy themselves. While a lot of Sea of Thieves players didn’t like the way Summit1g and others were representing the game, there’s no denying that they contributed to its sudden rise in popularity in 2019. Things only got worse when big Twitch streamers like Summit1g took up the game and popularized harassment techniques. The lack of meaningful progression outside of cosmetic rewards has fostered a make-your-own-fun mentality within the community. I wish I could write it off as an unlucky experience, but at this point griefing has become part of Sea of Thieves DNA. Suffice to say, I didn’t get on with Sea of Thieves.
