    • Imran is right. Pirates pwns.

      • Osweld is right. PR2 looks much better graphically than Pirates!.



        Regardless, the gameplay description of P! doesn't thrill me much. PR2 sounds more interesting.

        • Maybe we should until the games actully is out before destroying it?

          Plenty of time for that afterwards

          • I'm with Boris, P!2's gameplay consisting of simply dueling and dancing contests sounds like some sort of Pirates of Pissance musical.

            • Throw in some opera and Boris might very reconsider..

                They're gravel. But fortunetly, Pirates! doesn't take place on the cambrian shield.


                Basically, what it comes down to, is that there is no effort put into the graphics. The number of graphical features of the landscape can be counted on one hand:

                1. Blotchy white and green land
                2. Blotchy grey mountains
                3. Simplistic and uninteresting trees
                4. Lego-esque buildings
                5. Water


                Where is the detail? The driftwood on the beach, the forest (as opposed to the same ugly tree cloned a hundred time, the rocky shores, the villages, ect... Maybe it's not easy to do in 3D, but that's kinda my point. 3D isn't always good. There's absolutely no flavour at all.

                  Actually it is easy to do, its a simple matter of a texture and/or a bump map.

                      And ship fights! PR2 gameplay of trading crap sounds like some economics simulation (and I have a BA in Econ).

                        • Yay! Dueling! Dancing! Shipfights (floating dance floors)! And its a musical!

                          Sorry if I don't get too excited about "Atari does Broadway."

                            Ship fighting, dueling, and even being able to woo the Governor's daughter. Sweet .

                            • I'll wait until a demo or the actual game is released before judging it. Gameplay > graphics.
                              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
