I don't trust that giant link.

[sherru]

LOL, how can you not, its so fuzzy lookin-

[Gamepr020]

i just think they running out of ideas for a prince of persia title so now they just gonna put Prince Of Persia i mean the title seems boring to me they should have gone from prince of persia to future title names with prince of persia: (insert extra game title here) but o well a normal name with a nice cover can always win

[CyprusX]

Dude , the way they make that concept art is... amazing...

[sherru]

uh huh, im gonna buy this game whenever it comes out, thats for sure, and yes i also think its like in the future and stuff, but it seems the girl is the one with the power now, and not the guy, hehe i like that

[sherru]

I know that it's a new one. Check any news source. And the story has nothing to do with the previous games.

That would defeat the whole purpose of the title then.

LOL, but from the 3rd game i guess they had no where else to go to, so they made a new prince of persia with a new guy and all, it may be a good game, i looks cool- well i think so

[Centurion-Ryan]

Apart from the unneccessary character change, I might pick this up.

[DasUberCow]

The footage for this game has been disappointing so far.

Better that than add an arbitrary plot device to artificially extend, and therefore cheapen, a story that was completed in the first three installments.

Anyway, I think this is going to a pretty good game. The Prince of Persia concept is very hard to screw up, the story seems solid, the gameplay looks unique and fun, and Ubisoft Montreal is a very respectable developer (the PoP team is now separate from the good, not great Assassin's Creed team).

[Dragoonwing]

I wonder what's more amazing, the fact that this is old by two weeks or you just finding out about it, you decide.

[Legionnaire-X]

Mmmm celshaded goodness.

My woman's intuition tells me this is going to be a prequal to the other games. It could still be the same Prince, before the whole Sands of Time episode. Even though the Prince character wears a shroud in the trailer, he looks rather young (no to mention the shorter hair,) which leads me to think it migh take place before the other games.

It could also be another re-make of the first PoP, still completely free of the Sands feature. I am still looking foward to it.

[Non-sensical]

I heard it's meant to be in a completely different universe from the three original PoP's
Also i fucking love the concept art

[sirtom93]

I will probably play it although ubisoft put little effort into pops story.

[Redface]

I only have two things to say about this game:

FUCK. YES. I'm sorta iff about the new Prince's Freddy Kruger hand. I wonder what that monstrosity's purpose is going to be.

What pisses me off most is that plent of p.o.p. fans have no idea what the first one was like, and yet get all crazy when they hear a new one is coming out. The first was the best, it was pure amazing, and I still play to this day using dosbox because i have a dos version ;D.

[ultima09]

When i saw pics in game informer i was blown away the art design looks so fucking sweet

[Dookiemaister]

i never was a PoP fan. the only game i played was sands of time and it felt too hack and slashy. i got to this one part with a cylindrical pit and you had to swing from one rope to another. never figured out how to do it, gave up and never finished it.

In a lot of ways, I think the original two games were better than the Sands of Time trilogy. The combat (to a degree), story, graphics, and some of the platforming are obviously better in the newer games, but the puzzles in the originals straddle the line between extremely clever and just plain cruel. And that time limit...I could take it or leave it. It adds a lot of tension, but I think that it's an obsolete concept.

The good news about the new game is that the combat is going back to the series' roots: tense one-on-one fights.

That's what they said with black n white to, but- it was actually released two years after

It looks okay, I just wish they stuck with the original prince from the first game. As the series went on he was no longer relatable and laid back. He became an asshole and I think everyone can agree that the second PoP sucked major ass.

Obligatory gaming history Nazi post chastising you for thinking the Sands of Time is the "first" game.

Anyways, I didn't think that Warrior Within was a bad game at all. In fact, it was a pretty great game in my opinion. However, I agree that the story and characters were much worse in WW than they were in either SoT or TT. The prince did become an asshole, and an annoying one at that. And the music, good God, the horrible, horrible, ill-fitting music.

Luckily, this new Prince is starting over. Completely new character, doesn't seem to be an asshole, since this girl character is willing to follow him around everywhere.
