I have Sources that can verify one of these is 100% True
The Kraken is indeed going to be in the game
they have the AI, Effects, Graphics, & Models
also I am told the possible moves for kraken are
Grabbing with tentacles, Holding objects/characters with tentacles, and the ability to take a ship down as well
However the Moves I listed are only speculation the rest I know is comming for sure
SO i CANT WAIT!!! for it - I wanna Battle the Kraken as it attacks the ships
Added: after thinking about it I think ive found the reason the kraken was taken out of the earlier testing
Dont you guys think it would cause a good bit of lag to have a large creature model loading into game and all the fighting going on around especially if you have more then 2 or 3 ships in same place fighting the kraken
just occured to me it would be like a ton of ships are in ship vs ship all those models on screen draw the fps down and cause FPS Lag
just a thought
