I hate the fact that 90% of those shots are concept art. Whats the point?

That single(!) shot of the battlefield looks very good, though.

I'm not so sure the naval battle shots are concept art, I think they are actual game screens, they have had a dev team member working on the sea alone for over a year! And if it was concept art I would have added rigging to the ships, wouldn't you?

It looks like leipzig preview is still a few months out but heres a vid showing the amount of work they really are putting into the game

With the amount of work going into this i cant see it being released this year. Unless they are alot further with the game then it currently looks. They have been very slow with the release of new content but it could all be part of their plan.

Indeed, the motion animation is very interesting would like to see how it later turns out in the game itself.

Im not sure how new the trailer and information are as my internet has been down for a couple weeks but from the looks of those screenshots and trailer the game looks great

Also we now have a official release date of early feb 2009!

I spotted that the engagements are ridiculously close, the ships look much too samey (way too many ships of the line and no smaller vessels). At least the ships move relatively slow I was respecting much worse concerning speed, (after having witnessed the RTW killspeed fiasco).

With all its cheesy epicness I guess this is not going to be enjoyable until some hefty modding, but it still looks the best age of sail sim to date, whatever that means (it actually doesnt mean very much lol)

It actually hurts to see what would be possible with todays technology if only they started making uncompromisingly realistic games again.

Alas, the next TW is gonna have ships, better than nothing. Now if someone gave me a time machine to go back to when STW was released and the gamplay was still fresh.

Despite my dissappointment with the course the series has taken, I might actually get it, even if just to see it in action.

Yeah, but you are disappointed with almost every game that's coming out these days (At least from what I read...)

You have to remember that the game is still 6 months away from release, you really can't judge how realistic or not realistic it is based on a video...

But is it because I am completely jaded or because the game industry has gone the way of Hollywood?

Raptor1 · 08-15-08, 07:33 AM

I agree that a lot of games nowadays are complete garbage made only to make money for the big companies, but I don't like judging games before they come out
