Sorry, that's my fault. I saw that video in early 2007 and forgot that the video said E3 2006.

But since it's three years, it's even stranger that we don't have a Kraken battle. It must be pretty hard for them to animate him and get him ready for the test server.

hmm, Now im thinking that some of those people that "fought" the kraken at E3 wernt really fighting him, Maybe they were acting like they were fighting it and it was just a playback.
Its simpler just to create a video then making something to interact with it, And I know i explained it wierd right there.

Possibly swash. Also could have been a much simpler version of it. You have to think about since then they've revamped almost everything that was in that video. They could have done a fake kraken, or just done a mock up, with a few animation points, judging by how it went undefeated (I think, correct me if i'm wrong).

It's more likely that it was a simpler version of it.

One of the video insiders on the pirates site shows the E3 previews of pirates and people playing pirates. The Kraken battle people at E3 played was probably a very washed out version of the Kraken battle.. I bet all the Kraken did was wave around it's tentacles and pick people up. Probably nothing special.
