Friday 5-11-18: Crash Early, Vampyr Specs, Sea of Thieves

Whoowee what a week. I’m keeping on that grind. Here’s the news.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy to Launch Early
Vampyr’s Recommended Specs
Sea of Thieves Update


Premature eCrashulation


In a blog post by Activision, the publisher announced that the Xbox One/Switch/PC port of the Crash Bandicoot remaster will no longer be releasing on July 10, but on June 29 instead. That’s a solid two weeks early. So that’s cool.

Vampyr Specs


The highly anticipated RPG from DONTNOD Entertainment, the creators of Life is Strange, is edging ever closer to launch. NVIDIA recently announced the necessary specs for various quality settings and resolutions, and its a touch steep. The minimum system specs call for a GeForce 1050 GPU and an i3-2130 CPU. You’ll essentially need the latest models of both hardware parts if you want 4k 60FPS. I hope your PCs are up to the task. For a full spec list, you can visit the blog post.

Sea of Thieves Update


The developers continue to work at improving the seafaring pirate game. In a recent Dev update, they tell the players about some incoming changes. It starts with the reassurance that the upcoming DLC is going well. Then it goes into what to expect soon. Changes include the ability to share bananas, planks, and other items, adjusted cosmetic items, and hidden Gamertags when underwater. They wanted to add the ability to invite strangers to you crew mid game, but the technicalities of such have slown them down.
