Age of Booty Pimped: Releases October 15 for $10

September 29, 2008 3:33 PM

Certain Affinity's pirate-y strategy game, Age of Booty, is done and will arrive as a digital download on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on October 15 and 16, respectively, at a price of $10.

The hex-based strategy title was once known as Plunder, which in turn was inspired by a Bungie inside joke about a "Pimps at Sea" game.

A demo will be made available at launch for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version will follow later but will arrive on a large slate of digital distribution services including Steam also carrying a $10 price tag. A demo for the PC version is promised and "expected" to arrive on launch day as well.

I was looking forward to this game, but it won't install under XP-64.

    Why are you baffled? You're kind of acting as if it's 2003 and XP-64 was just released.
    
    I'll bring you up to speed. :] Its 2008, most games work great under XP-64 -- everything I've tried but this game. Games from Steam -- even the really old ones, WarCraft 3, "Capcom's otther PC games." *cough*
    
    I'm not an oddity running XP-64. It's way more stable than XP and my 3D apps support its advantages. All 32-bit apps run without a hitch and it's no longer a desert of driver support. The alternative is Vista 64 -- no thanks!
    
    Supposedly Age of Booty runs under Vista, which means it should work under XP-64.. But the beta installer "only" supports XP and 2k.
    
    Hey, if Capcom wants a piece of Blizzard's DotA pie, so peeps like me, they need to support all platforms, not just 2k and XP.
    
    Serious is a serious word, you should only use it if you're going to be serious.

      Why are you running XP x64? It's the least supported Windows OS ever. I know you're running it for some reason, likely because you have 4GB or more of RAM, so why not switch to Vista 64-bit, a more supported and less thrown together OS?
      
      By the way, it's impossible for XP 64-bit to be "more stable" than XP 32-bit, since it rarely crashed, blue-screened, or anything for me. The only issue I ever had was TF2 crashing and Vista SP1 fixed that problem for me.
      
      I'm not kidding. Why are you are you running XP-64? Those are all invalid reasons. I'm thinking your main reason is either you're lazy and don't want to switch to Vista or you have an irrational hate of a superior OS. It's been better than XP since SP1.
