<p>You know, im not sure what i have to do to get on the Press Release list for pirate game news.&nbsp; Thanks to Blues we now learn of a new Pirates of the Caribbean game (4 now i think) This one is titled &quot;The Legend of Jack Sparrow&quot; so in true Bethsoft tradition it will have nothing to do with the movie and is going to be released on the X-Box PS2 and the glorious PC.</p>
<p>After reading hte PR for it, it really sound like a platform game that will be ported over to the PC more than developed for the PC, in saying that they have a separate developer for the PC so I could be wrong but unlike other titles such as <a href="http://www.akella.com/k3/news.html" target="_blank">AOP</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/" target="_blank">POTBS</a> this really does scream &quot;Cash Cow&quot;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.net/content/view/557/"><strong><font color="#0000ff">Read More</font></strong></a> for the Press Release.</p>

(Rockville, MD) May 11, 2005 -- Bethesda Softworks today announced plans to release a sequel to its exciting Pirates of the Caribbean video game based on Walt Disney Pictures’ blockbuster film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow will feature a blend of fast-paced action and adventure that captures the entertaining characters, settings, and spirit of the first movie. Slated for release in 2006, the video game sequel is being developed in association with 7 Studios for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC, and will be distributed under license from Buena Vista Games, Inc.
<br />
<br />Piracy, smuggling, buried treasure (not to mention kidnapping, sword fighting looting, pilfering, and other acts of villainy)...what's not to love about Captain Jack Sparrow? Jack Sparrow is the ultimate video game character - with his cocky swagger and his offbeat personality - and players will be able to experience his adventures first hand in this exciting action game.
<br />
<br />Gamers will slash and hack their way through a dozen locations, with fully interactive levels and varied gameplay. Action will take place in a variety of lush, immersive settings, including burning buildings, wrecked ships, and misty moonlit caves.</font />
<br />
<br />The gameplay experience will be thoroughly engrossing, as one minute you are fighting hordes of your enemies, while the next you’re evading capture by the Royal Navy. You learn new moves and combos as the game progresses, allowing even more spectacular, and deadly attacks during combat.</font />
 
Although going a little deeper into this, im ot sure if its a new game or its just they they have announced a publisher. since Buena Vista Games is a disney company
 
Maybe this game has someth'n te do with Disney's announcement of a multiplayer game O' POTC ter be released 2006 with de movie <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Well, money above all... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> If the mouse decides to take over AoP, I have no doubt that it'll face no difficulties. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerbz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nerbz" border="0" alt="nerbz.gif" />
 
I don't care if they take over Age of Pirates. But they MUST let Bethesda actually FINISH the game this time round. And everything that isn't good enough yet, we'll be there to fix. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
I don't think Akella was too receptive to more MickeyBucks, which is why there's a different development company now. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
From what I read,Disneys use'n a game company they own tew develop this game,if indeed this is the game they be talk'n about fer a multiplayer,has ter be I'd be think'n <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Nah, Vassal, they're building their own fleet, now. Gone from pure piracy to being a privateer with a Letter of Marque. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Maybe that should be a "Letter of Mouse" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

Why didnt they just use their own company in the first place!? that would have made everything a LOT easier! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />

Who cares about blasting their fort down when you have a large and (in)humane mousetrap, and a very large, smelly and intoxocating piece of cheese! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" />

How can they say that PotC was based on the movie? While I was rooting around in the files, it seemed to me that they just threw in some movie related stuff, like the Black Pearl appearing at Falaise de Fleur, the unused Aztec coins, the "Undead" skeleton pirates, and the eventual ending in which the Black Pearl is sunk, and then is strangely raised and refloated in time for the movie.
 
I think if Akella had more time to develop PotC, it might have actually resembled the movie a bit more. It was a rush job - rushed through by Disney who absolutey HAD to have a game release to coincide with the movie release... They bought up Sea Dogs II and changed it to PotC in the hopes that it would fit the bill - but apparently had no concept of how much time it takes to make up a quality game...

I think there's a soundbyte in PotC that says it all... "Quality takes time! Patience!" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
hehe, i cannot remember Akella ever saying it was based on the movie....I think there's something in that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
