This looks like a reskin from the 2003 pirates of the caribbean game

It's meant to be. It's basically an "unofficial" sequel. Which has even some of the old staff members working on the game, and some of the best modders from the old games as well.

It's far from done of course, but it intends to be a faithful successor which builds upon the Sea Dogs/Age of Pirate series that has come before it (it has a very long and confusing history, hence all the different names for the series titles).

POTC 2003 should have been named "Sea Dogs 2: Tales of a Sea Hawk", but Disney bought the rights to the game in order to simply rename it and promote their movie, which is why it had hardly anything to do with POTC in terms of story, lol.

But the series has been long going with a cult following (roughly about 5-6 games were made in total). This game is intended to be a modern spiritual successor.

I watched the video on the Steam store page and it generally looks pretty bad. The only thing that stands out is the jungle, the trees and other plants look pretty good. The shadows in the jungle look decent, too but there was a lot of pop-in and some textures changing when the character was walking in the jungle.

Despite a few spots where animations seem fluid it seems like most of the character movement seems really stiff, especially in the fights. The ship shown sailing in the video looks pretty basic and the water didn't look great. The sails seemed static, no wind movement, and the flag's movement from the wind was very limited. The textures on the ship and in the tavern look very basic and generally quite bland, and I'm not impressed with the lighting, either. Character models seem okay, but nothing special there, either.

I know, I know. It's in EA but given what I've seen this isn't even remotely ready for today's gaming market. Maybe in a few years?

missing the point here a bit i think, it doesnt have to be top quality because they have a ready made fan base already, sea dogs/age of pirates etc has a big following but its old and it shows its age tho the formula makes them some of the best pirate games ever made, all the devs have to do is come up with a a version that is equal to or improves on them with better graphics and smoother game play it will sell no doubt so long as its faithful and not bugged to hell

I hope it is. Loved that game.

Soundtrack was god tier, hope they can bring back some of the tracks or at the very least redo them in some way.

Ah thanks! I did not know that. I actually loved the Pirates of the Carribean game as a kid. I still play it from time to time. I wonder what new stuff this successor will bring to the table.

sea dogs, age of pirates and corsairs are the same franchise just different titles for the same series outside of Russia ect!

Yes it looks like a sequel and it's intended. Can't wait for it ^^

That is why I'm definitely getting it. Not just nostalgia, but the gameplay was great at the time, as were the graphics. Hopefully they can expand more on the graphics and content department, while leaving some of the core mechanics intact that made the previous game great.

[SCROTUS]

They've been milking that game for decades now and most of the reskins are terrible. I'll be waiting until somebody playing it for the first time reviews it before paying for the same game again a fourth time.

Came here to say the same thing. Pirates of the Caribbean (Sea Dogs 2) was the first Xbox game I ever got as a kid and while I sucked at it, I still loved the premise. I mean I had never played anything like it up until that point. Just the pure level of freedom presented in a console game like that. So I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this!

[futhark]

Judging from the pics and vids it seems to be using the outdated engine of the old games. I really hope it has a newer engine. Teho has flopped already. Time will tell, I guess.

I loved Pirates of the Carebbean from 2003, but I'm not sure about this one...been following the process on YouTube..I doesn' really seem to be good and i am not talking about graphics, i actually love "old fashioned" graphics because my pc isn't that good..but i don't know it doest really look great to me, let's see how much it'll cost tho...

[Sir Nilbog]

I hope it is. That was a great game especially with mods
