Awesome Weather effects in Pirates 2

[DJ1]

I was just checking the trailer and I am very happy witht the way the game looks in 'sailing mode'

The Islands with its nature and the water effects looks good..

But the standing out thing is the Wheather effects.

The clouds looks really awesome and the way the moves and behaves are just fantastic

check out 1:10 in the trailer when the ship sails into a small storm... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

absolutely stunning....


With the speed tuned down there is no doubt that the sailing experience will be better in this new version than in the original Pirates.

And another thing I wanted to bring up about storms but never really did...

Aren’t the storm clouds moving a little too fast for you to be caught in them? If the speed the video shows is the actual speed, then them storms must be pretty darn big in order for you to really worry about them.

Yea..

you probably right..

I really hope that someone in the Pirates developmnt team can tell us whether there will be optionable 'playspeed' in the game. The speed seems to be the thing that make most people nervous....

Right, the speed and also the affect of the storms they set. Like, how serious are they? Do they change your route plans? Can they mess up your game if you are not careful?

I hope some of these questions are answered in the next preview, or news pack.
