The name of the game is "Pirates of the Black Cove" not "Pirates of the Black Cover"
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing more about this. Pirates are under-represented in games. At least, in good games.

I do enjoy free-roaming games - as I hope this one will be - and if it's along the same kind of lines as Sid Meiers Pirates then huzzah!

Google turned up that link as one of the top when I searched; only has concept art and a few features.

Given that it's Paradox, I'm going to hazard a guess that this will be a strategy game, which will be an interesting concept I suppose. I think I'll keep my anticipation securely unfocused for this game, I just don't think it will work if it's anything like Paradox's other work.
Then again, if it's not, then I have no idea how it could turn out.

from this it almost looks like it's a facebook game...
some gameplay footage would be nice. I'm hoping for something like corsairs, that game was awesome! ahh, nostalgia...

Considering that the trailer is nothing more than concept art and that their website doesn't seem to work; I can't exactly weigh in on it. I enjoyed Sid Meier's Pirates! well enough so I'd be lying if I said this didn't at least pique my interest.
Guess Nitro's or Paradox's new idea is to release the trailer before anything of the game is coded.
Concept art is nice but usually only after the fact when people want to see where it came from.

I must say I'm underwhelmed. With rare exception I don't think there have been many good pirate games, especially of the "Action/Adventure" genere which is mentioned here. A lot could be done with the whole concept of pirates as a theme for gaming, but it usually seems to be an idea from lazy developers hoping to sell a game on the "OMG Pirates" appeal. The recent Disney movies actually haven't helped much either.
One of the big problems is that pirates as presented in the media, especially nowadays, oftentimes have me wanting to beat my head bloody on a brick wall. For some messed up reason people have gotten it into their heads that being a pirate is about freedom, and these guys are at worst "dashing rogues" who rarely do anything all that evil, or at least not that you ever see in the scope of a storyline. I mean these guys are generally murdering robbers, who hardly leave people alive and sail away. I mean I "get" where this idea comes from, but the problem is that in fiction such situations are presented as an exception rather than the rule, and when every single product focusing on pirates features that kind of attitude at the forefront, I think that's an issue.
Hard to accomplish I guess, but what they basically need is "Grand Theft Auto" on the high seas. Then you'll have a pirate game worth playing.
Also I don't know what it is, but the whole "pirate classes" thing, kind of bugged me, maybe it was sort of like how the rifle one of them was holding seemed like it belonged in a western a couple hundred years later, rather than in the hands of a pirate.

Are you freaking kidding me? A slideshow trailer?!
Oh well- Sid Meier's Pirates! is pretty much all I could ever want in a pirate game, so I don't see myself yearning for another pirate game anyway.

Oh. Uhh...okay. I think teasers are all well and good for popular IP's, but teasing something that's completely new just seems like...wasted resources.
