[JamieSI]

Today Take-Two announced that they will be porting the PC version of Sid Meier's Pirates to the PSP. There hasn't been many details released but we do know that it'll be released on the 23.02.2007. Here's a snippet from the announcement:

In Sid Meier's Pirates!, a strategy/adventure game, players take the role of a Pirate Captain in the 17th century Caribbean – amassing fortune and fame in an attempt to seize a rightful place as one of the most revered and feared pirates in history. Players test their skills as a sea captain exploring the high seas and dueling in land and sea battles in a richly detailed 3D world. Additional features for the PSP system include wireless Ad-Hoc multiplayer for up to four players, widescreen graphics, new treasure hunts and more.

Friggin sweet... The PSP's library is actually getting pretty nice. Might be worth picking one up after another price drop.

Very very nice. But wait, doesn't the PSP still have no software at all worth owning? :rolleyes:

[bapenguin]

OH nice. I love the new Pirates! on the PC.

Depends if you already played this months ago on the PC. Great for those who didn't I suppose.

[Savok]

Actually it's been two years since the new Pirates saw release.

[Abash Alarmist]

SOLD! One new PSP in my hands when this is released.

[Heretic Machine]

Ya, but I think it'll make a great portable game...

[Eggplant!]

This is the perfect type of game for a portable.

[Cool AN]

I am surprised. Pleasantly surprised though.

Unfortunately I already have this on the PC, then again I have had problems running it on my PC sometimes so maybe this would be a nice alternative.

[Royal Fool]

Woohoo, let's all pay full price for a port of a more than two year old game.

It's not a bad game, just... ah, whatever.

Agreed. Great game. I played the hell out of it on the C64. I also played the hell out of it again on the original Xbox but didn't like it as much as the original.

If you've been living under a rock for the last 2 years, then this port may seem cool.

I love this game - great time waster for long flights or trains. get me some booty!

I missed this post, so I just submitted it as news.

My conclusion: FUCKING SWEET. Handheld Sid Meier's Pirates! with wireless multiplayer? What the hell's not to love about that?

This is not a "sell me a PSP" kind of good news. But it sure is a "wish I owned a PSP" good news. Pirates is the perfect game for turn it on, loot a few ships, dance with a governor's daughter, oh, I'm at my destination kind of gameplay.

Lucky PSP bastards.
