popcorn_skollie Posted December 10, 2018 Share Early access goes live on steam in 3 days at a rumoured $30. Its probably the most ambitious multiplayer game ever.I'm definitely in for this one... https://youtu.be/7ObI3AWabGM ABOUT THIS GAME From the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved comes ATLAS - a massively multiplayer first-and-third-person fantasy pirate adventure. ATLAS will host up to 40,000 players exploring the same Globe simultaneously, with an unprecedented scale of cooperation and conflict! Stake your claim in this endless open world as you conquer territory, construct ships, search for buried treasure, assemble forts, plunder settlements and hire crew to join your powerful growing armada. Start small then expand your spheres of influence from a small island, up to an unstoppable pirate empire that spans across the oceans. Wage battle against enemy fleets as you singlehandedly command large ships of war using the captaining system (or divide up to the responsibilities among your trusted lieutenants), or take control of any weapon directly with your own character. Dive deep into the briny water to explore permanent sunken wrecks and recover salvage, unearth the loot from procedurally-generated Treasure Maps and challenge zones, or complete challenging main questlines. Team up with other aspiring adventurers and sail into the vast ocean to discover new lands rich with region-specific elements, tame exotic natural and mythical creatures, raid forgotten tombs, confront powerful ancient gods and even build and administer your own colonies, cities, and civilizations to dominate the ATLAS in this ultimate quest for fortune and glory!MMO On the Grandest ScalePhysically sail in real-time across the vast oceans with the proprietary server network technology. Explorers will voyage to over 700 unique landmasses across 45,000 square kilometers, with thousands of Discovery Zones, and ten distinct world regions each having their own unique resources, creatures, secrets, and environment hazards! There is a separately PVE ATLAS for players who don't wish to play any PVP. Construct the Ship of Your Dreams, Plank by Plank!Build drydocks and start with a dinghy rowboat, basic raft, tiny sloop or nimble schooner, moving on up to your own versatile brigantine or titanic galleon capable of transporting hundreds of crew and extensive cargo. Name your ship in big bold letters, paint and copy your own pirate flag and custom-place all the pieces of your ship -- which sails and where, planks and gunports, every single structure piece has a physical Weight and Material -- to function exactly how you want.Captain your Crew!Recruit real players and AI crew from freeports or rescue seasoned crew from destroyed “Army of the Damned” shipwrecks to man distinct stations on your boat! Set sail and explore the ATLAS with them to gain experience and level up their stats or gear, as well as levelling your Ship. Your crew are versatile! Whether on land, or ship, or even riding behind your animal companions on emplacements, they can man weapons of all kinds-- cannons, swivel guns, siege engines, turrets, and even gigantic mortars, many with dynamically swappable ammo types including grapeshot, chainshot, spikeshot, liquid fire, and more! Instruct them to board enemy ships and help you conquer the seas! Keep their stomachs full and their pockets full of gold lest you want a mutiny in your hands! Take on the Captain’s Wheel or divide up the command responsibilities via Lieutenant Podiums to direct the Ship’s assignable weapon systems, sails, and stations, including standing-orders or manual grouped fire. Or, walk up to any station and take control of it yourself!Pirate PVP to the LimitEverything is up for grabs including player’s ships, their crew, their pets, their forts, their land, and their booty. If you can get your hands on it, you can take it. A ship’s permanent logbook tells the tale of their legendary travel, exploits and ownership. Be the Hero or Villain you were meant to beMMO-scale character progression systems include, at launch, over 15 Disciplines with over 300 Skills, in a vast unlockable tree. New "Feat" system allows for active and passive bindable character abilities, while new stat-buff system allows innumerable abstract statistics to be modified by Skills, Items, and Armor. And now, everything has scalable stats, including structures, and can be progressively Upgraded!This is Who You AreExtensive character visual customization enables an endless range of realistic (and not-so-realistic) characters, with a vast array of sliders, morphs, muscle tones, and tweakable values. You can even per-pixel design your own permanent tattoos (and then draw warpaint on top of that too!). If someone exists in the real world, they should be creatable in ATLAS! Best-in-class dynamic hair growth and real-time aging systems allow you to get old and... pass on your legacy? (Or find a fountain of youth!).Endless AdventureFull Quest and Waypoint systems, with sub-quests and rewards, for major goals -- while procedural treasure maps and challenge zones also ensure there's always something new to find out over the horizon.

Fruity Posted December 11, 2018 Share Not surprised, although they could also be talking nonsense. The PS4 is still a good cash cowWell considering the PS2 was released in 2000, and then discontinued worldwide in 2013, Sony could perhaps have a similar plan with the PS4.

Fruity Posted December 11, 2018 Share Is pre-order usually cheaper than on or after the actual release?From my side I'm not sure. I've only ever pre-ordered one game and that was Super Mario Odyssey. I paid R749 for Mario Odyssey and it's now going for R859 at Raru, although that could be due to increase of price, like with anything else I guess.

Fruity Posted December 11, 2018 Share GRIM DAWN TIME! Sounds tempting, although I'm leaning more towards purchasing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3 for the Switch when that gets released next year Got games I need to catch up with in my free time as well Edited December 11, 2018 by WeekendWarrior80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuxstir Posted December 11, 2018 Share A must watch https://youtu.be/0BQ4bXNdEQISaw that earlier.. looks interesting.. but at like 27 Pounds a month, and you need a 15 Mbps fiber line..and then our huge latency to there servers..think If I was in the states or Europe.. I would be using them. or at-least give them a try Shadow Cloud Gaming popcorn_skollie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be using them. or at-least give them a try Shadow Cloud Gaming I debated this tech with friends since playstation now. Which incorporates something very similar. And the more I think about it. The more it makes sense. And I believe that its developing tech like this that will bring hi end gaming to the masses. The value prospect of going this route is a no brainer. At today's exchange rate we talking about R320 per month to have access to a rig that will crap on the system requirements of any AAA title. Not to mention that it inculdes hardware upgrades to stay with the times. On top of that it also includes blistering fast internet. Assuming we ever have the type of infrastructure locally to support this working seamlessly. I don't think I'll every buy another gaming rig again.
