Haven't heard of this game before, it actually looks pretty good. Hopefully they release a demo.

I've got a soft spot for pirate games for some reason but I've never found one that I thoroughly enjoyed, maybe this will be the one? I've never played Risen 1, but I can tell you what I am looking for is some awesome ship skirmishes, with cannon fights and the possibility of boarding an enemy ship if within range, know of anything like that?

Then you won't be happy with Risen 2 (no seafights announced yet) because that would be impossible because of the Story of Risen 1. In Risen 2 the mission is to find a way to defeat the "Titans" that almost wiped out every human and you have to find a weapon or something like that to stop them. That means a lot of exploration, fighting and questing, short said: Old-School RPG.

Aww :\ Well do you know what the best pirate game with seafights would be? Not trying to threadjack so you could PM me if you want.

It's ok but the actual problem is that the lack of pirate games is surprising, a live-action pirate game... I can't even think of one and I never heared of a pirate game how you described it either (why?, I have no clue but it would be awesome) so I'm looking for a pirate game too. Risen 2 DOES have a pirate setting after all and I can't say if there is going to be a seafight or not, it didn't got announced that there will be any seafights yet.

Yeah, I might still play Risen 2 because the pirate setting is cool (anyone remember escape from monkey island hehe) but someone should get on the type of pirate game I was talking about a few replies up!
