    E3 2015, when the game was first presented to the world! Oh I do remember how I fell in love with SoT since there!

    But seeing it again.... Seems a little different doesn't it?... Is this Cannon Cove? All those vegetation and details... The sea! The Ships! Walking the plank?!

    What do you feel by seeing again now?

    Rare is better at marketing than they are at making games lol or maybe it's Microsoft marketing? Def was a deceptive trailer if this was all you saw of the game.

    Should have also put "final build won't look like this."

    Definitely Canon Cove. The galleon was either much larger back then or the island was smaller. Watching it makes me want to play even though I put in about two hours with it this morning with a buddy.

    Funny thing is how the galleon clearly was intended for 5 crew members XD

    It still drives me nuts seeing all the cosmetics that we don't have in both of those trailers.

    Give me a break. Nothing deceptive about it.

    You know why they didn't show the final game? Because they didn't have the final game finished.

    @lethality1 For the win! Agreed. Making it playable on the basic Xbox apparently required toning down some elements. Even with toning it down, the finished product is a gorgeous game.

    Makes me think, wow, for a super early trailer this both gets me hyped up and makes me realize they’re about spot on with delivering what they showed.

    What’s not in there? Walking the plank and a few cosmetics? Im all set, I’ll take the excellent game we have.

    @nunoazuldimeter I play with graphics maxed and it doesn't look this good o.o What the heck??

    @M4dKrAut I noticed that as well. Soo wish there was more smoke from the cannons and it lingered it the air!

    @xcalypt0x Because this wasn't the game. This was video footage eheh.
    Those characters are the ones in the Athena's Tavern. Those Ships aren't playable ships, people who have the Art Book recognizes it, it's concept.
    The sharks and the water, and all the motions around. it was all created for the trailer video, not for the real game. :D

    But oh, It still gives me chills just to watch it. It's Beautiful!
