Hopefully Sid can manage to take the good parts from fighting games and add a reasonable amount of Errol Flynn-feeling to it without turning it into something unrealistic. I'm affraid there's a risk that they overdo the 3D part of it all, keep it simple when possible is my motto when it comes to computer games.

Well the fighting from, say, Prince of Persia 2 would fit in nicely. Let's remember that whilst graphics can sometimes crowd out gameplay this isn't necessarily going to be the case, and the potential is fact greater today.

Fingers crossed.

Call me an uncoordinated dedicated TBS player but I hope the fighting doesn't get too complex. If I need to be able to pull off special moves with perfect timing the game will just gather dust. The ballroom dancing looked like a fun new addition. More new minigames are a good thing (as long as I can play them )

Btw, just checked, Prince of Persia 2 is the name for the SEQUAL to Sands of Time. So you are asking to include the fighting from a game not even in existance .

I think the beautiful daughter needs way more cleavage than is evident in the concept art.

This is the 00s, not the 50s!

Well I'm calling it Prince of Persia 2 because of the old Prince of Persia game, but I take your point.

But, like I said... there were TWO old Prince of Persia games... in fact you can unlock both in Sands of Time .

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I blame it on 'newbie' production houses(or newbie staff), that judge anything that might have been around before they were wetting thier nappies as being unimportant.
They could do with learning respect(and how to count properly) at my drillmasters computer games academy - damnit!

For reference my post above regarding fighting in Prince of Persia refers to The sands of time. The comment stands. The combat is simple enough, but quite good fun.

Those games are not unlockable in the PC version btw.

So, I'm taking some late night time looking at the screenshots on the official site (as always, a site with a lot of graphics but not much essence). On the second screenshot there's a familiar text; 'a rowdy band of 16 men offers to join your crew'. Now, I always wanted to be able to settle for less. Do you remember back in the days when you went into to port and walked over to the tavern, with the hopes of picking up 20-30 men to replace some recent 'collateral damage' (to use a modern term)? What did you get? Due to being infamous and all that, there's always hundereds of people wanting to sign up (at times more than the total population in town). Before you know it you'll have over 1000 sailors, screaming for plunder and you have to change all you plans and head for Panama or some other backwater spaniard place to get rid of the excess load... Oh the luxury problems I had back then...

Anyone here any updates on Pirates! 2? The latest on Port Royale 2 is a November 2004 release date but I haven't heard anything on Pirates! 2.

Do what I always do. Attack a large town by land, sit back and let your troops get slaughtered. If you still have too much, rinse&repeat. Less men=more gold per person=happier crew!
