Pirates of the Burning Sea: Comic Con Preview

Staff Writer Hasani Davis had a chance to sit down with Pirates of the Burning Sea and now brings us this preview.


We had the opportunity to take a first glance at the upcoming "story driven nautical warfare epic" Pirates of the Burning Sea at the NY Comic Con this past week. Let me cut to the gravy and keep it real for you. The game looks exciting and the developers have a very set opinion about their product and the direction they are heading in their game. It's not going to topple the major MMOs, but it's newer, better looking, more tactically sound, and more innovative than many other out there right now. So it will draw more than a few players away if even for only a few months. This little gem will also give the crazed pirate zealot fans the chance to live out their ideal fantasy world and will inspire many more to foster a new love for the more classic style of adventure.

Pirates of the Burning Sea are best classified as an adventure driven tactical MMO. You play the role of an aspiring captain pledging your loyalty to one of three nations: Spain, England, France, or become a rebel by living a life as a pirate! These four factions work towards the ultimate goal of conquest in the Caribbean. As we sat at the Flying Labs booth you couldn't help but notice the lines of fans forming and stopping by to play. I would dare to say that it was the longest line of any of the video games present at the Convention and longer than most of the other booths, now if only they had booth babes!

You can read Hasani's whole article here.

    I'm still waiting, I'm not sure I would kill to get into beta but I would certainly maim.

    This game sounds awsome.

    Anyone know if they plan to hold an open beta?

  • brokenneedlebrokenneedle Member Posts: 100
    I applied for the beta the other day, here's to hoping! :)

    Enjoy, won't you?

    Could've swore I won a beta slot on this very site awhile back for this game. I also followed instructions when I finally got an e-mail about winning, too.



    And yet...

    And no luck?  I'd suggest talkin it over on the FLS forums, I'm sure they could help ya figure out what went wrong.  It'd really suck to lose a chance to try out the beta when you've already won a beta key.  I dunno, maybe they aren't testing computers of your stats?  *shrugs* just a thought, not saying that's the reason.  Again, the best way to find out the real reason is to get a devs attention by either pming them or something.  Couldn't hurt, right?

      In reality all you earned was the right to be considered to join the beta if you fit there criteria. If they didn't need anyone else at the moment to test then youd have to wait for a slot to open. Which means the others who won have just as good a chance to get in first as you did. Unless of course your computer isn't up to par then you wont get in even if you won the chance. Basically you won a chance for a interview That being said I envy you. Alot of people dont even have that chance.

    I own an Alienware computer less than 3 months old complete with SLI and all the works, and they have the dxdiag report to reflect it. It's not my PC. heh



    I have done all I can do to further this. Looks like another bogus beta contest.

    It's not a bogus contest, honestly. I've contacted our community manager about it. We'll figure out what's happened and get you in.

    I applied for beta 7 months or so ago, still now luck : /

    I hope that means that all of us that 'won' a 'chance' at the beta will get in...
    ...I was one of the winners too, and every time I get an email I get excited, but it's never what I'm looking for.. :(

  • smartkidzsmartkidz Member Posts: 252
    Finally an out of the norm MMO. I've been waiting for this game for ages like many people (maybe years because of how long it's been in dev....but still it's been a while.).

    Getting close now woohoo!  I've been looking forward to this one for a while, as have many of you.  Everquest style games bore me, I didn't even make it through the full included month of Vanguard before I just stopped logging in.  I've been playing City of Heroes and have tried a few sci-fi type games lately (there aren't enough of these), and now I'll have another genre to explore.  Mixing ship-to-ship tactical play with standard avatar control is a wonderful advancement in online gaming.  It looks good, and here's to hoping they have a nice beta and a great launch.  Good luck, you guys!
