I have a question for those who visited atari's pirates2 at e3 or anyone else who knows.

When you're sailing(not in combat) you see your tiny ship zoomed really far out on a topdown view. I was wondering if you know it would be possible to rotate and zoom the view while you're at sea. I doubt they will make an ondeck view, but i hope you can be able to zoom in and rotate your view. It looks like you can do this in combat.

I have seen some images where the view is lower and you can see the horizon and the sky.

Having a top down view like that zoomed way out, really doesn't make it feel that i'm at sea, sailing. This is just my personal opinion but im sure a few others share it with me.

I hope they make an `on-deck` view.

And I am almost sure you can rotate the view.

I also wish for an ondeck view but i doubt they would complicate the view system by adding that(too bad), i hope im wrong ofcourse.
I would be satisfied if you could zoom in on your ship when sailing and rotate and tilt the view around and perhaps see your crew walk around.

Else i really like the graphics, they fit the style perfectly. Though they could have added pixel and vertex shaded water, almost every other game has it today. It would really make it more immersive if they did and you could see the sun reflected on it. They may still add that though.
