    Atari?!? They'll start work on the next game the day this one is released and post to say fixing blatant bugs in the first game is not their priority. But that wouldn't happen would it?

    Nice screenies though.

        If it runs on a GeForce2 or higher, I wouldn't say those are ugly.

            Why? There's been better looking games that don't even require a graphics card.

              Every computer game requires a graphics card!
              Although I guess you mean a 3d one, in which case you are correct.

              Whats with the name-change, btw?

                Its DOES look ambitious. They want to make a RPG, a real-time naval combat sim, a swordfighting/beat-'em-up sim, an exploration/trading game, a RTS urban combat section and some kind of "escape from jail" action game - but all in one game.

                Now THAT is what I would call ambitious. They are really biting off too much.

                      It does look like a fairly souped-up version of the original, though I don't think it's overly ambitious. None of the components are very complicated.

                          It does seem pretty managable... and they KNOW that the game concept works and will sell.

                          This is one of the biggest no brainer sequels ever.

                            For Pirates! thats a bit over the top no, even for 2004?

                            I guess my 166 wont cut it.....

                            Still maybe they might do a console version?

                                Its got 48MB wow feel the power Strangely when i compare it with the pc's at work(p2 500mhz+), it doesnt come of too bad, maybe a few secs longer to boot w98, the same when opening a word 2000 doc. Im happy with it anyway, although CTP2 on gigantic maps can be a pain

                                And its just so i can play oldies as they were meant to be - including the origonal Pirates

                                Anyway i guess i was meaning if the new Pirates requires a 1Ghz pc, then maybe i wont get it for my xbox......

                                1Ghz for Pirates.......just think about it for abit.......
