GameInformer has posted a video of Atari's presentation of the XBOX version of Sid Meier's Pirates!
You'll see the start of the game (shortened down I believe), some sailing around... And then it REALLY starts to get interesting!
Suddenly, the game restarts, and they choose the multiplayer features. Ship vs Ship battles! They start to choose from a list of ships. These are the new ships that I can confirm:
Brigantine
Coastal Barque
Fluyt
We also see the Tartane, but we already knew about that. The ships also has different stats. Firepower, Defense, Speed and Turning, which seems to vary from 1 to 5 pirate flags, where 5 is best.
So, they choose a battle between a Fluyt and the Tartane. The Fluyt, being a Square Rigged ship, doesn't stand much chance against the Tartane, which outmanouvers it quickly. When the Fluyt starts to sink, you'll see lots of tiny crew jumping overboard - and then you hear laughter amongst the viewers :) Pretty funny!
The Tartane ship also grabs a power-up in the end after the battle, which upgrades it's attack.
Well, you should view the whole presentation yourself, go here!
