Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned announced
Disney and Propaganda are working on an open-world action-RPG in the Pirates of the Caribbean series called Armada of the Damned for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
The setting and story take place before the Pirates movies and players will have to make moral decisions, build their characters, vessels and – of course – deal with a supernatural pirate world.
“We want to make sure our game creates a sense a freedom in how you decide to live your pirate life,” said Alex Peters.
“We are trying to make experiences in the Caribbean similar to those featured in the movies so you can expect to see some supernatural elements mixed in with realism.”
Speaking with IGN, the game’s director also said that the game’s action takes place on both land and sea, while players interact with the nation powers who inhabit the Caribbean. Encounters such as these can change your loyalties and choices over the course of the game.
A release date has yet to be announced, but expect more from E3.
Loads more information is through the link.

I might sound gay for saying this, but this sounds bloody awesome.

Pirates are not gay.
Ships full of dirty, overworked, sweaty men with no women for thousands of miles, when there is little to do when not plunderin’, no likeliness of gay sex there.

POTC is ace. Just hope this isn’t sanitised like most of the Disney interactive fodder.

Hello…. this has the potential to be fuckingawesome. The idea in itself is great! Let’s just hope they don’t balls it up, like they did the second two Pirates movies.

My word… Disney look like they’re actually making a decent game from the PotC licence!
I’ll be keeping an eye on this sucker. Loot-me-up and ship-me-do ahoy!

On the flip side, did anyone play Tresure Planet on the PC? Surprisingly good. Not great, but had some very nifty ideas in it. That was shocking too.
… Not sure if it was Disney though. :/

This could be incredibly cool. It’s also very easy to fuck up. Let’s hope they pull it off properly.
