Still no remake or sequel to this

[Eateroftheworld]

I cannot believe that in this glut of ship games that firaxis and 2k haven't dragged this game out of the grave with either a remake or sequel.
With the popularity of Sid Meyer games and the terrible state Civ 6 is in, it's pretty clear they aren't doing anything else right now.

To me Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is its successor :) ACBF uses Sid's targeting ideas.

The problem is that the rest of the game where you are not on the ship is Ubisoft run of the mill boring as phak repetitive game play.
And you only ever have the one ship.

Not exactly a sequel to this but: Corsairs Legacy - Pirate Action RPG:

This game IS a remake of the original.

It sucks hard that they haven't capitalized on this so hard. With crap like this coming out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vKn0ql-jkw A new sequel / remake, and multiplayer version would blow all these out the water, XD.

This game has been so long in the wings (because they stopped working on it for a long time) that I stopped giving a crap.
I played the limited beta and then all talk about it just vanished.
It's hilarious because Ubisoft used Steam to keep players interested in the game and now that it is finally coming out they have removed it and it will not be releasing on Steam.

Very true, its just a great game overall and deserves a new coat of paint.
keep it the way it is but more resolution support and more detailed models and maybe some extra quests and I'd buy it again. for like.. the fifth time.

You'd think it would be easy money for them.

Throw it in the new Unreal Engine and people will gladly pay full price for a modern SMP game...... I know I'd buy it.

Skill and bones looks like this games successor, but it's epic games only.
