Single player? Multi player? Both?
Game engine preference?

BEGONE, VIRAL MARKETEER.

I'm sure they value your input.

this seemed like the right place to ask. I mean, who doesn't like pirates? I like pirates.

I wouldn't task EA with this, but I'd prefer a pirating game which allowed you to rape and pillage villages with various defenses, and fighting giant sea monsters.

Sid Meier's Pirates! is my ideal pirate game.

...

I want a space game where I can board spaceships and stalk the hallways with a shotgun.

...

I know right?
But it's the current year and nothing that good has been made since then. Also space everywhere, battlefront and mass effect and so forth. But no pirates. I mad.

We have desposited 1 (one) shekel into your account. Thank you for your work.

My ideal Pirate game would be pirated.

Now check these scurvy dubs.

Can't see shit, Cap'n!

Oy alright can't somebody please shill with me all I want is a nice pirate game made in this millennium. Hot wenches with big boobs and so on. Should prolly try my luck with htg. Idk.

Anyone tried Tempest?

Kinda like Assassins creed 4 shit piloting with player combat as well. Not just ship combat, actual swordfights and muskets.
Allow you to board enemy ships.
Small islands and cities around that you can sail to and do quests or help factions or groups.
Make the islands big enough to actually explore around and have some fighting on ground as well, so it's not always naval battles on ships.
Make rum a healing item, similar to a potion. Drink too much and it penalizes you and blurs your vision and makes it harder to control your character.

Like Dork Soles with big buff pirates, wizard pirates and cleric pirates.

Is it time for the mutiny yet?

Nice. I like the rum as a healing potion. There should also be some kind of way to measure your level of infamy that allows you to perform some action or obtain some quests.

Any sea beasts you can make up to make things more interesting?

...

yes I know… but… IBM 16-bit color… 2017… I want something made with today's tech. If you agree look if you can contribute to the thread I made on origin forums. I know they'll most likely ignore it but still…

What else can this goy do to get his pirate game?

Well, I don't think Pirates would be capable of taking down Cthulhu, so a more appropriate monster would be something like Moby Dick, giant squids, or maybe even some sirens.

You know it got a modern remake, right?

I just want my crew to be full of qt mermaids, octopusgirls and a shota sharkboy to explore the sea with.

No inhuman freaks aboard the ship, go back to /monster/

You mean Rockstar. Basically Grand Theft Booty: Caribbean

One not made by EA.

Fight me!

/monster wouldn't want him either. Monsterboys are their trigger. He should go to /chaos/ instead. That's where the fun people are.

ohmy

...

my ideal pirate game already exists

they just announced a free standalone version on Unity as well

...

A good One Piece game.

Puzzle pirates 2

you have to break the copy protection to play the game

Not made by EA, for starters

PURGE

What's your alternative? Boobs and booty would be nice. No point otherwise.


If single player sure. Multiplayer would end up like their latest GTA. Now how do I get them to make one?

Take this.

Remove anything remotely related to Assassin's Creed, keeping just the climbing mechanics.

Replace it with loads of supernatural/fantasy elements related to pirate folklore.

Implement an rpg-style party feature where you can handpick yourself a crew of colorful misfits and aid you in your piracy.

hah
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
BEGONE, SHILL OF THE SEVEN SEAS

Single player story based in fictional island archipelago
Build a pirate fortress, construct your ship, and enlist crewmembers
Fight other pirate gangs for control of the seas, assault their fortresses and defend yours
Attack merchant ships, fight against the imperial navy
Dabble in carribean nigger voodoo magic

Do the same in multiplayer, sorta like Chromehounds but with fortress building.

Shill begone

This, actually. Piloting a boat was the best part of AssCreed.
Just let us control a character in third person and travel in ships like that.
Hire a crew of mooks to run the ship and fight for you but also have a few mateys that work like sub-generals, giving bonus to sections of the crew and commanding a small amount of men with them.

Then give me pistols and cutlasses, let me swing from a rope to other ships and fight in the open sea.
Let me collect gold, buy stupidly large ships and bask in it inside my cabin while I play the organ.

Make it singleplayer but also keep an option for multiplayer CO-OP. Motherfucking CO-OP, I don't want no shitty DayZ clone with pirates instead, just going on sea adventures with friends.

Have a world that simulates it's economy and sees cities growing and falling. Have some degree in politics too, several factions fighting for power.
Let me disembark in land and pillage coastal towns while my ship bombards the area.
Let me stash all my crap in a pirate fortress somewhere that I must defend too, let me make enemies and nemesis in high sea, let me make prisoners and employ slaves.

Give us mythical creatures to fight against and mythical locations to explore. The game ain't complete until we can go down to Davy John's Locker and kill the squiddy faggot!


faggot be gone

Not made by EA.

Multiplayer = hackers. Wouldn't focusing on single player allow the devs to focus on the main story and make it great rather than half-ass both single and multiplayer?

see

Nice for porn games. I'm not buying a game made with unity. I want something with GTA/Battlefront quality.

Bottom line is this: the ideal pirate game would be Sid Meier's pirates, but deeper with a big, accurate map of the Carribean, cities with functioning economies that trade with each other, dynamic populations that grow and deplete and that you depend on to recruit crew members, map resources that factions compete to control, a good combat system that not only makes naval battles fun and challenging, but that also accurately simulates the gunplay and swordplay of the time (something no pirate game has yet been able to do), city sieges with artillery, good art and writing by talented people who put more weight into historical accuracy than into getting pats on the back from charlatan PC reviewers, and NO DLC/ microtransactions.

Any big-budget dev would end up making some streamlined action/adventure that loses it's novelty after the first playthrough unless you happen to get hooked on the online.

are you fucking stupid?

Multiplayer is cool when it's about LAN Co-Op. You don't have to worry about hackers then, it's just your friends who you can punch in the face anyway.
If it's co-op, you get essentially the same singleplayer game and story, only there's a lot more enemies to compensate for your friends.

Single player, fuck the retarded cash cow that is multiplayer loot boxes, use this title to get back some good faith from the fan base, keep using this IP to do that as well.
On that note keep the "Current year" BS out of it as well, I don't care if there are gay or trans characters, but don't bandy them about like your signaling an armada, it looks bad. Also make them characters first gay/trans/whatever second, a well made character will be positively remembers a virtue signal is mocked and helps make the game forgettable.
Historic Fiction, see if the 7thSea IP is willing to come to the table about a game, if not then make up something similar enough to be fun but different enough to not get sued.
Location: Give me a whole fucking world to explore, give me side quests, give me random islands, give me natives, give me tits!, Give me cannons roaring and drink flowing, tense boarding action and gentle waves at dawn! I want a game that captures the feeling of freedom that exploration gives, the rush that crossing the T would bring, and the mystery of lost civilizations and crazy dark magics.
Soundtrack: give us sea-chanties, orchestral pieces, and to give us a stark contrast use something like heavy metal for the crazy out of this world horror elements or some such. Use the tricks that Zimmer used in Dunkirk to keep the tension.
DLC should be worth the money, look to CDProjectRed for how to do it, Hell, maybe just look to CDProjectRed to make the game…
Give us a ship customization system that makes it so it's not just "Biggest= Best", have the size of a ship matter in the factors of agility and nimbleness, Ships of the line were terrifying when they were on a line as you couldn't dart around them, but alone they were sitting ducks to the lighter and more agile ships who could tear them apart while avoiding the brunt of the line's guns.
If your going to do Multiplayer then make it a role based game, Pilot, RGunner, LGunner, Repair. All will do normal combat during boarding actions. But have those four roles, and make ship combat compelling in it, have it so a well oiled team of four can if they so wish never see boarding while they dance around heir prey,

Here, you forgot these:

It would probably just be the first Pirates game but with more interaction. There's also a new game coming out that looks cool but unfortunately it has those really shitty cartoony TF2 graphics which ruins the whole thing.

All of them

It's like dorf fort or rimworld and you can land and build as many colonies as you want, trading between them or plundering the computer factions.

Cheers to you, Sir. I agree he's be the guy I would trust to make something good. His games don't show boobs tho. Don't see how to convince him to change on that when he built his legacy without showing any ;(


Cheers to you as well, Sir. The amount of boob displayed in the Witcher series and what they can do with REDengine has me convinced that they can come up with something good if they want to. Also current year meaning 3d not rainbow pirates. Wouldn't mind a few lesbian wenches on the other hand. A lady boarding a ship undercover would be ok I guess.
