<p>The first bit of Age of Pirates News has come out thanks via <a href="http://hookedonageofpirates.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Falconer.</strong></a>&nbsp; IGN have put up a small preview of AOP explaining the open ended features that we are looking so much towards.&nbsp; They have also put down a Christmas release date ...this year <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Check it out <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/617/617573p1.html" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#0000ff">HERE</font></strong></a></p>
<p>A ship is a pirate's pride and joy. Although still in beta, the ships look quite good, and you can control a whole fleet of them. You can hire officers and other crew in towns to help you sail them all, and you'll need their help when sea battles occur. You can watch and sail in full 3D, or just watch things unfold in a 2D overhead map (similar to Sid Meier's <i>Pirates!</i>).

There's also some screenys to <a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/743/743985/imgs_1.html" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>

This 2D thing is a bit new to me, I wonder if it like auto combat mode of just a simplified way for newbies to get a hang of it?
 
here is a short preview of a video from E3, the full version will be available for downloading starting from 25.05.2005

The full version (as stated on that website) will have a 800x600 resolution and will be about 35 mb in size. They've already uploaded it, but only those with the VIP subscribtion can download it. They'll make it available to download from their public server at 12:00 (p.m.?) Moscow time on May 25th. They usually have a very small bandwith on their public server so you'll need some luck to get it. Reuploading it on some other server would make life of AOP fans a lot easier <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Thanks again for the head's up, Seabro, this really looks great. I love the one from PotC (that plays if you don't select something from the opening menu right away), and this one looks to be just as thrilling. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
yeah i can upload it for everyone, no problems <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Well, they had a major blackout in Moscow on wednesday and ag.ru servers were down for a while, but now I finally managed to download that trailer. It is absolutely identical with the one you've uploaded lately except that it's in wmv format and about 33 mb in size.
