Jake Posted August 24, 2004 Take a look: Download: http://games.softpedia.com/public/cat/8/8-142.shtml Yes! I was (and am still a bit) dubious of this game, but there is no denying that that trailer is awesome. What a great, hilarious, classic Hollywood adventurey sounding musical score! And the fighting and sailing looks like it could be fun and actually doable unlike the old one. I'm sad by the named and shamed presence of the little "Live the life" underneath the Pirates! logo though. Are the press materials calling it "Sid Meyer's Pirates!: Live the Life?" If so, booo! But the trailer has made me happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted August 24, 2004 I was too young to play the first one but THIS might be the game I've been waiting for since the announcement of MI4 and the disappointments of The Elder Scrolls Adventure: Redguard and Sea Dogs. And the trailer, despite the stupid name, made me feel the Adventure with a Capital A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolzig Posted August 24, 2004 Wow, the trailer looks extremely cool. The music is great, it reminds me of great adventures, just as it's supposed to do. The Live the Life sucks though... I just hope they haven't made the game too simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jp-30 Posted August 24, 2004 Did anyone play Bethesda's "Pirates of the Carribean" game? If I recall correctly it didn't start out as a movie license, but kind of picked it up along the way to assist with marketing... http://pirates.bethsoft.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted August 24, 2004 Yeah, that was originally Sea Dogs 2 but they picked up the movie license at some point. As far as I know the game has nothing or very little to do with the film's story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted August 24, 2004 About only things it had in common with the movie was the ghost ship appearing slightly in the game, and Kiera Knightley giving her voice as the narrator. Sea Dogs 2 would've rocked though, two different character options and a lot more that was deleted because of the damn movie license. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragnar Posted September 7, 2004 I was too young to play the first one There is no law against playing an older game now you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted September 7, 2004 I'm sure there is. It probably isn't named though. I propose we name it "Ragnar's Law" and then assemble a team of British scientists to figure out what the law actually is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ptdc Posted September 8, 2004 I'm looking forward to this a lot, I loved the original even though I was terrible at it, usually ending up as a pauper. Hopefully it will have the same feel as the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki's Law is "There is a law for everything, even those things that aren't bound by laws". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted September 22, 2004 There's now a making of Pirates! video online, it's about 9 minutes long. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edlglide Posted September 24, 2004 Well, considering the original Pirates! was probably one of the 5 best computer games ever made (I spent many days of my youth capturing ships and hunting treasure) I can't see how this game won't be a huge success. They could easily have just updated the graphics and left everything else in the game exactly the same and it would be worth a purchase. In my mind, as long as they didn't go in and screw anything up from the original it will be phenomenal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
