User blog comment:Dentface/Finished Version of Kraken/@comment-1051147-20110107142228

If you plow back through all the old, old videos they put out - Chapter 2 was supposed to start with Jack and Gibbs sending you to Padres to find a certain relic. The chapter was due to end with a confrontation with the Kraken. Your pirate would be on deck as the tenticles flung up and tried to hit you or WORSE, they would grab you and fling you around.

I've seen all the video on this - looks cool, was NEVER EVER finished. Likely it was crashing or causing older PC's to freeze up. There is a LOT they have stripped out of the game to make it run faster and it still lags - imagine how bad the Krkaen makes it.

This has been going on for 3+ years now.

I seriously doubt we will ever see the Kraken and its not a deal breaker for me. Part of me things that no matter how much effort they say they are putting into that - I think they're hoping to just stall long enough to do something else, like Raven's Cove.

Raven's is a distraction - it has nothing to do with the original story they were promoting. But, then again it's been over three years since Dead Man's Chest was released and the game is promotional tool. POTC4 should give us hope that SOMETHING new will come...
