Pirates! preview

[user37852]

GameSpy have previewed Sid Meier's Pirates! , and I like what I'm seeing

 

[Strider]

Shouldn't this be in the other games forum?

I saw that Pirates! poll here, I thought I could post it here. We can't all be perfect like you, Strider :S

If your trying to provoke me into a flame war, don't count on it.

I'm going to find it hard getting into Pirates! I'm just real curious how its going to play to a TBS junkie.

And, since this will probably get moved soon, I'll hijack it momentarily.

Strider, I'm coming to your town this weekend for the NCAA DI Wrestling Championships. I'm sure you already have your tickets. Right?

right forum or not thanks for the heads up! It looks promising!!

 

[user37852]

Finally, someone making sense! Thanks bru

 

[BlueBomberDude]

thanks for the link!

Calm down, I think that was important enough - I do not read "other ****" Forums, but this one was real important - be nice to thatinkjar.

BTW, the first pic looks a bit sodd, the 2nd one looks more promising however.

Ugh... comic style graphics. Reminds me of late Monkey Islands and Warcraft III/ World of Warcraft. The town on the coast does not look too inspiring either, but I fear the graphics style is something I will really need some time to get used to!

 

[Karl Lenin]

Looks corny.

 

[user37852]

Don't forget...

"Stay tuned to GameSpy.com tomorrow for some behind-the-scenes pics and more details about the game!"

 

[Alexnm]

i think it looks interesting, and maybe the graphics are not final... but i like their style anyway...

THANK YOU!

Thanks for posting this here. I would never had seen it if you posted it in the other forums as a lot of CIV players are or will be Pirates players.

 

[ummmm........]

I never played the original Pirates on PC, but I remember a game that I thought was called Pirates Gold on the old Sega Genesis. Was it a port of the original computer game? They sound similar, from what I've read.

I'm kinda lackluster about the game. Between the cartoon graphics, "paper-rock-scissor" style of combat, inability to die or lose, and little things like wind not mattering when sailing, it definatly made me weary. I just can't imagine the replay value being very high.

But because it has Sid's name on it I'm still hoping for the best. I'll probably talk one of my sucker friends into buying it, and test out his before I decide to buy it or not.

 

[Longasc]

Yea, that's what friends are for...

I'm not in town, I'm at The Lake of the Ozarks right now. Otherwise I prolly would already have tickets .

i remember playing a b&W version of pirates on my mum's ancient mac II as a child ... i can't f-n' w8 2 get my hands on this game again.

 

[majk-iii]

i think pretty much all pirates-titled games been ports of the sid-game.

Microprose wasn't it?
