Official: Prince of Persia Next-Gen Thread

i love the graphics but the action was kinda 'meh'. some of it was cool, but there were parts that just didn't look good. there were some movements that went against the flow of the choreography and it looked forced.


anyway, even though i've never beaten a Prince of Persia game, i liked what i played from the first one and the Sands of Time. so i'll probably be at least renting this one.
 
Really digging the new visual approach they're doing. Hopefully this plays more in line with the first game, which was fantastic.
 
I love how the battles are done now, with one enemy that is different every time. The new moves are incredible. I don't like the Prince's new voice so much though. I like Elica. The respawn (Save-Me System) is great too and how he gets down a platform by using his glove. Also how there is no health bar and it just starts to make the screen more and more red and less and less clear to mirror the effect of your health. Also I love how you start to make the kingdom more and more green. The hate I had for cell shading is gone. This game looks fantastic, and I can't wait.
 
So this is a new Prince, storyline, etc, right? Does anyone know if the newbie is supposed to be the old Prince's descendant, his ancestor, unrelated, or unknown?

I read somewhere that the Sands of Time Prince was the ancestor of the Prince from the old school sidescroller games, so I wouldn't put it past the developers to continue with that tradition of moving onto an ancestor or descendant's epic story for the reboot of the PoP franchise.
 
US, September 2, 2008 - Today, Ubisoft announced that gamers who pre-order the new Prince of Persia title in North America will receive a FREE upgraded Limited Edition version of the game.

The FREE Limited Edition Upgrade is only available by pre-ordering and will include in addition to the regular SKU:

A Prima digital mini-strategy guide full of developer's secrets to help players master the year's best action-adventure game

A digital art book that chronicles the game's journey from concept to winner of Best Artistic Design at E3 2008

The original soundtrack scored by master composer Inon Zur
And much more.

I want the soundtrack and I hope it has the song from the teaser!!!
 
me too. i really want to pre order it though. i love limited edition stuff cause it comes with the artwork.
 
So who's getting this? I was a bit undecided but there are several recent videos up on Gametrailers.com that have won me over and I went and preordered it from Amazon. The game looks amazing
 
I pre-ordered it at Gamestop when I picked up Mirror's Edge. I'm looking forward to it, although I wish they could've brought back the Sands of Time Prince and made him funny again. I don't like that they left his series with him all angsty and stupid. Still, the new one should be pretty cool. It looks amazing, at the very least.

Well this Prince is being voiced by the same actor who voiced Nathan Drake from Uncharted and the guy had great comedic timing and really sold his lines. I have a feeling this Prince is going to be pretty quick witted and i think he'll have some funny lines.
 
I hope so. I still doubt it'll approach the level of wit and charm The Sands of Time achieved, but that game's about as close to a perfect, playable fairy tale experience as I've seen so far, so it's a pretty high bar to reach.

Well if the writers put it in there, ill guarantee you the actor portraying the Prince will nail it.
 
Looks like the Prince of Persia is taking an Assassins Creed.

Ubisoft has announced that you'll be able to don new skins for the Prince and Elika and the first one up? Altair from Ubisofts Assassins Creed. Just register at Ubisoft.com then link ur GT or PSN name and you'll have access to the skin.

This just became a must buy for me.
 
That's kind of cool.

Oh man, you totally neglected the other part of that article, too:
Those who pre-order Prince of Persia from GameStop will get a code to access the Prince of Persia Classic skin. Pre-orders will also get a free upgrade to the Limited Edition game, which includes special packaging, a making-of video and the original soundtrack.

I pre-ordered from GameStop. I'll probably use the SoT Prince's skin. :)

My shop hasn't run out of pre-order stuff yet. Well, they ran out of the Fable 2 pub games, but I got it when I went in later anyway. It wasn't even good.

Did you get the code yet and if so is it a unique one?
 
Nope. I haven't been back into my GameStop since I picked up Mirror's Edge and set up the pre-order for PoP, though. Maybe I'll check tonight. Gotta stop at a bookstore in that same plaza for a friend's birthday present anyway.
 
Popped into the GameStop near my house and confirmed that those of us who pre-ordered PoP are indeed getting a free upgrade to the Limited Edition and the Sands of Time skin.
 
You get that stuff when you pick up the game, right?

Website says that it will be packaged in the game, but I also read somewhere that there would be a sticker on the back of the case

Anyways. it got a 9.3 from IGN. This will be my last game purchase of the year unless some great deal comes up. Im glad to read that it got a great review. Cant wait to pick it up next week
