Raven's Cry, a pirate-themed action/adventure announced last year, has now officially become an RPG. An adventure/RPG.

As Gamebanshee informs us:

Octane Games' "mature" pirate-themed title Raven's Cry was technically announced last year, but TopWare Interactive has been sending mixed signals about its genre, so that's why this is the first you're hearing about it here. Originally announced as an action/adventure, the game is now officially labeled as an adventure/RPG, so I figured I'd bring you up to speed on its scope and share an assortment of screenshots and artwork, as well as live action and gameplay trailers:



​

Spotted at Gamebanshee, duh

 

[Achilles]

Not bad. Btw,

pirate-themed action/adventure announced last year, has now officially become an RPG.

I would bet a serious amount of money that they just went "hey 'RPGs' are popular these days, let's call our action game that! It's not like there's any difference anyway!".

 

[Morkar Left]

The mainchar looks a bit too HAWKSOME!!! for my taste but whatever. Let's see when it'S done.

I hope those live action trailers aren't here to stay

 

[commie]

Pirates again eh?

Double Bear had better change their RPG to a Pirate survival game....Pirates are the new Zombies.

 

[Nattvardsvin]

Looks like shit.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Gameplay or it isn't true.

How about you play a group of Pirates that survive in a zombie infested city. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLD!!!! GOTY 11/10!!!

Throw some Ninjas in there and we have got a winner.Pirates vs Zombies vs Ninjas FUCK YEAH

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Give me an open sea to explore, a mighty vessel loaded with all kind of weapons, and a customizable crew, and I'm fucking sold.

Of course, I'm free to dream.

 

[MisterStone]

Looks like shit. As in, Gothic II looks better than that gameplay trailer, and it was released 9+ years ago.

 

[Ogg]

I like how the so called gameplay trailer doesn't show even a hint of gameplay.​

 

[Metro]

Risen 2.5!

 

[villain of the story]

Combat looks shit. Very stiff. What MisterStone said.

with robots as day0 dlc.

oh god, it's the same guys that made wasteland angel, which beyond shitty. this game can't possibly be any good.

 

[Metro]

Oh wow... Wasteland Angels devs? It wasn't a bad game, per se, just a really low budget and unpolished four hour indie romp. I have zero faith in them to produce an actual solid ARPG.

 

[Outlander]

I like the tone and how they present the setting, but the combat looks like shit, even though it seems when you hit an opponent they actually react to the blow instead of just standing there and keep attacking you.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Main character seems to be an EXTREME collar grabber

 

[Stygian Lurker]

I like the pirate setting. I'll probably at least try the game.

Also this:

I like how the so called gameplay trailer doesn't show even a hint of gameplay.​

 

[hello friend]

I don't understand why killcams have become all the rage lately. Does anyone actually enjoy them?

 

[MisterStone]

Fucking UbiSoft...

 

[Murk]

Guess we got our new trend... le sigh.

 

[circ]

Animations are shit. Throw in grimdark visceral effects too for awesome rating.

 

[A user named cat]

Should we blame 300 for everything nowadays having fucking killcam slow-mo? From movies to games, it's gotten ridiculous. Way to be creative.

 

[JarlFrank]

If pirates are the new zombies, I'm glad that they are, because zombies = boring by default while pirates at least have the potential for something interesting.

This doesn't look too bad, doesn't look super awesome either though. Worth keeping an eye out for. Right now all we know is that it's an action RPG in a pirate setting. Might turn out good. Might turn out shit.
