Rockstar really should make a Pirate open-world/sandbox game.

Since Rockstar took it upon themselves to make a rare genre game which RDR is a great western game they really should make another rare genre type game, they should make a Pirate open-world/sandbox game.
Rockstar has always made great open-world/sandbox games.

Two of my favorite pirate games were Pirates! Gold from Sega Genesis, and Sid Meier's Pirates! from PC.

I'm in.

That would be very cool :)

I was thinking exactly that while watching Pirates of the Carribean, there is so much potential in that timeframe,

Robbing Merchant Ships, Raiding British Colonies, Comandeering a ship...

ghstbstr you genious! :P sounds like an awesome idea. or they should attempt a more unused time period like 870AD england. viking invasion and all that :P

I'm sold on this, plus I'd just make people walk the plank the whole game and not do any missions.

theres a new Pirates of the caribbean coming out which is pretty much going to be a RPG sandbox if Im not mistaken

Really, for the consoles? You have a link where I can find that information?

A game like this would be awesome!!

A pirate game made by rockstar would be incredible! I now wish it can happen. :cry:

That would suck haha. Ninjas is where its at ;)JuggaloRandall

Dang it, I was gonna say inb4ninjas :( But yea, I don't think I would want a pirate game, I'd want Rockstar to do an open world zombie game first.

I'd expect them to do a Pirate type game at some point - but probably on the next gen.

yea this is awesome!

That would be amazing O_O...

Most defiantly. Get Rockstar on the phone!

Pirates are tricky to pull off, but I think if its done right that it could be a really great game, and if anyone is up for the job, its Rockstar.

Yep, I saw this it is called Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned which has some rpg and open-world type elements, and it looks good but even though it different than Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End also made by Disney I do not expect it to be any better.

Yea, a great idea.

Make it happen... customize your own ship, become Pirate King, command your crew, loot, pilage, and huge ocean boat battles.

If they made a pirate open world game, I would probably love it more then Fallout. This is an amazing idea, and they should totally do it.

the only thing is Rockstar is their wierd as real as possible and pirates never used those giant ships in the movies, they prefered much smaller faster ship for obivious reason. Also, that would have to do something to make the sailing more exciting, like swords tourneys on ships between ports exc. All in all though it would be really cool if pulled off right

that would def. be interesting but i can also see it getting too cheesy which i hope would not happen. As we saw with the pirates of the carribean movies, it made pirates a little to cheesy to me.

Looks nice, can't wait for the fourth movie, coming out in 2011.

Looks great but they can't do it like now..

It would take anouther 5 years to make it ...

Both those games you mentioned were great - a Rockstar open world pirate game along those lines would also be great.

Didn't check the pages but isn't it "Armada of the Damned"?

Yea, maybe a 2012 release?

Yep, I hope it turns out good, starting to look a lot like Fable, which isn't a bad thing.

Hells to the yes? Perfect setting for a R* game imo. That would be sweet, there's just so much potential there.

Why are you the way you are =( Don't ruin a good thing with this nitpicking. History is written by the winners, and I think the maker of Pirates of the Carribean was most certainly a "winner".

Anyways, onto your actual point, they do follow realistic settings. However, realism hasn't ever been first or foremost (regenerating health, "dead eye", etc). While regenerating health is pretty trivial, I think the point is that just because their first 2 settings (the modern GTA settings and wild west of RDR) were realistic doesn't mean that they're next game has to be fully realistic. People aren't saying they should make a space game with time travel. Their juset saying a little twist on how history actually happened (although for a true pirate game you'd need skeletons and krakens and curses and etc...)

I think the only problem with this is the lack of land. A typical pirate would be away at sea for months on end, which doesn't really allow you to explore various towns and territories like in other Rockstar games. If you turned the focus away from the sea, it might work, but then I don't think it'd feel very pirate-y.

An open-world pirate game would be epic! and a new decent zombie game would be epic too.
