Age of Booty won us over with its daft sense of piratey humour on PSN (Ol' Two-Patch, anyone?) and now it's heading to iOS! Huzzah indeed. Only now it's got some new stuff added in...
It's still four months from Talk Like a Pirate Day, in which people who never got over the mid-2000s pirate craze and the party-poopers who despise them spill out of the internet and into the real world. With so long a stretch free of timbers to be shivered, is it any wonder that Microsoft's Major Nelson feels the need to offer a few pirate-centric deals to users of (sorry, this is mandatory) Xbox Live Arrrrr-cade?
In case you missed what transpired during their various presentations, the guys at the Capcom US blog have provided a handy blow-out with videos, screenshots and articles on every title mentioned.
Capcom announced today that its developing Plunder for the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC. Developed by Certain Affinity, known for their previous work on the Halo series, Plunder is a real-time multiplayer strategy game that puts players in command of a pirate ship with the goal of destroying your enemies and capturing towns for your pirate faction. Plunder is currently scheduled for release this summer.
Former Bungie employees have founded a new studio, after their departure from Bungie, called Certain Affinity. Today they proudly announced PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade game Plunder...
DarkZero Writes: Pirates are usually bad, they make people angry. However, when Certain Affinity - a team made up of ex-Bungie guys amongst other people - reveal they are making 'Plunder,' a game about Pirates we can only be happy as a result. In the most recent issue of EGM ¿ where the game was first unveiled ¿ the company comment that the title has many influences from the Settlers of Catan board game, but the game instead will mostly consist of tile based RTS elements. In the game players are tasked with steering a ship and capturing land, but to make things more interesting you'll be able to attack enemy ships, and earn upgrades as you attempt to pillage as much as you can. Then, as you advance, your ship grows stronger and she will become a formidable opponent for preyin' on other ships of the seas. Furthermore, just like all of the best pirate stories, curses and other traps will also be involved.
