Captain Blood, Swashbucklers, & Seadogs 2

Yeah, its very promising like this, i sent an email of to alex but he still wont say to much <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

But hey <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> All the Island names are in English so that must mean something <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
BTW, I understand everyone has their own opinion, but why would some people say that the SD2 map is better than the Pirates! map when you have the whole Caribbean map to explore in Pirates! and you only have 18 islands in SD2?

you might be able to liberate a copy of some real pirates in that area of the world <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" />

I'm looking forward to SeaDogs2, although i'm slightly worried about the PotC license that Disney/Bethseda hold - does anyone know if they could use it to block SeaDogs2 from coming out(it using the same engine/graphics etc)? Not sure exactly how these thing work but i sure hope it does come out <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Re: SeaDogs II (the real one, not PotC) and Disney/Bethesda, I think it might be a matter of exactly WHAT was "signed away" and what needs to be "bought back"... Akella is not using Bethesda to publish their games anymore...
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" />: dont mind if i do!

I've seen whats been done with the modding side of PotC, and i'm very impressed. Sadly for me i'm playing the xbox(spit! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ) version - so i'll have to wait untill i get a pc able to run PotC before trying them out.

Still the real SeaDogs2 sounds like it could be the definative pirates game - i ran their(Akella's) russian website for Seadogs2 through babelfish and got some interesting info <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

At the momment i'm enjoying PotC a great deal - its taken over the Morrowind addiction i had, being a pirate in such a beautiful world that Akella created is a real treat <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
Who is their new publisher ? I hope its not EaGames or Ubi soft otherwise we're doomed ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />
 
Not sure yet, but i wouldnt be surprised if it was a leser known publisher like jowood or something
 
Its a shame that some 'weird' stuff happened between Akella+Bethseda(?), as Bethseda are one of the few decent publishers in the mainstream that think big epic games are the right thing to do(still after playing PotC for over a month now - they should have given it a little more time in development).

for keith:

I'm not sure how things work here at piratesahoy, but would it be possible(and would anyone be interested) if i posted the text from the Seadogs2 website that i ran through babelfish to get it in english? Not sure if that kinda thing is allowed here? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />:
 
The Russian publisher is 1C, but as to a publisher for the rest of the world? I thought the Akella guys at E3 said it was still to be 1C (they were sharing a booth with them at E3), but I'm not sure I'm remembering that correctly.
 
Yeah thats fine by me, but keep in mind just about everyone has alo run it through balbe fish already <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I think Seabro even did some translating for us on that....speaking of which where is seabro these days?

Actually it would be the best thing for them if they were able to get EA Games. However, you know full well that won't happen. EA Games only works with their `in-house` project companies, and if they ever did more work outside of that they'd ask for a cut bigger than what Akella would like to give them I am sure.

The reason it would be a great move is because they would have their game plastered EVERYWHERE! Business is all about face mates. How you look, how you present, and how you're seen.
 
Sure having more pub make sell more but you know as soon as a good game (most of the time) is published by a big compagny like EA, they tend to modify it because its not good enough, and you end up with a crappier game... i have a good exemple for this : Ultima Online before EA it was axed on a medieval theme and the compagny was listening to the community, after EA took over, the game got some crappy RObots, Cold/fire/Poison/Electrical resistence added to armor, some useless stuff nobody ever asked about (Ice Staff was one of them i think), real problems/bugs were never fixed (i remember an housing problem which was fixed not so long ago...) Etc...

Now Ubi's turn, Morrowind was published by Ubi in europe, and i dont know if you heard but suport for this game and such was a real disaster, hell it even lead the french community to kinda boycott Ubi (and Morrowind) since the game was so buggy and so bad suported : ie Game far less stable than the US version, terrible bug never fixed, not even a good localisation among other things...

I have nothing against those 2 compagnies tho, they produced great games, but please when its not your making stop trying to make it better or try to listen a bit more to the community otherwise you end up with games as good as a sinked ship....
 
Morrowind was developed by bethsoft though.... i think thar speaks for itself <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

Ok i guess i'm the last person here to do it! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

"- two play characters. Moreover one of them - feminine sex. But means even forty year programmer it can feel himself by `twenty-year` girl."

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> i had a laugh at this bit of babels translation!

Getting a good publisher is very hard these days, you pretty much have to sign over the rights to your game <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />



EDIT: 17/7/04

Just had a goog read through that new interview for Corsairs2 - i'm getting good at working out the babel translations!

this bit was a little confusing at the end in refrence to Sid's Pirates2 game:

"The game of great Sida is clearly calculated for the cantilever market with all resultant consequences. "corsairs II" - only `PC-wny1` the project, calculated for the khardkornykh players (especially Russian, it is desirable to emphasize)."

whats a 'cantilever' market in this sense??

Its sounds like it will be a corker of a game - and i hope they find a publisher for an english language version.
 
Ahoy! I'm back from a 3 week vacation and guess we are all still waiting for a definate announcement about an english language release date for Corsairs II(or will it be SeaDogs2 over here?).

I liked last months Developer Diary article about Corsairs II that babelfish(with the help of Keith <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" /> ) translated - slightly worried about the mention of "mutants" though <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Yeah me and my A levlel Ruski <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Still no word, Alex is tight lipped about it all, its possible 1C might open up a bit at the EGN in London next month but will have to wait and see

Well after the "Disney" experience i can understand if Alex(i'm guessing he's one of the Akella guys?) was being ultra cautious this time around - it must be gutting to see your effort and work be used in a way you dont completely agree with.
If i get a chance i might try to go to the EGN - i should take advantage of such things as i'm in london, just hope i'm not too busy at the time.

I'm actually quite excited about the prospect of Corsairs II, its been a long time since a new computer game release had that effect, and it gets more rare year by year <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
