Capcom has unveiled Plunder, a new strategy game for the PC, XBLA and PSN that promises to go from 3D to 6D! Wait...what?

Most appropriate comment ever, no lie.

Will there be seamen on the poop deck?

By the powers, when's the review...

Wait, he says he's going from 3D to 6D, but then calls it a "hex-based" environment? Meaning like a hex map? Like what I've been playing tabletop games on for nigh on a decade now?

Maybe he really does mean 6 dimensions. Those six dimensions being:
X: Width,
Y: Length,
Z: Height,
Omega: Time,
Theta: The depth of human patience?
Gamma: An alternate dimension in which flesh-eating kittens terrorize the Caribbeans seeking favor with their ancient gods.

Regardless of the marketing hype, I really like the idea of an eight-person battle for control of Tortuga. Time to load up on grape shot, salt, sausage and rum.

Okay, the OP mentions pirates, Halo 2 (And by extension bungie) and alternate dimensions, yet makes no reference to bungie's seminal work: Pimps at Sea!

Looks an awful lot like a Warcraft 3 map/mod called Battleships

CowBlazed · 14th Mar 2008, 19:26

and the gameplay sounds very close to pirates! what a jip.

How appropriate, you fight like a six dimensional dairy farmer.

Smilodon · 15th Mar 2008, 23:41

well, if the game have a normal 3D environment and there is an parallel world in 3D, then it's 6D.

But then time is standing still... So they made a game, but it doesn't move... Great!
