DUDE! I loved the Prince of Persia games and I can't wait for this game. I read an article some where that this is just for PS3? So when someone in this thread said it wasn't a PS3 exclusive were they wrong?

Ubisoft announced it's presence at E3 2006 in both PS3 and 360 form.

Next gen games are finally here I dont even need to hear anymore about the game or even see it in action. I am getting it.

Patrice showed the audience a reference video montage they used for the actions and scenarios that they would like to see in this game. Among the clips were scenes from Raiders of the Lost Art, Braveheart, the French film Banlieue 13 featuring noted traceur David Belle

More evidence the game will rock

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Ew, the shadow in the big pic is blocky!!!!

 

[Mentok]

Blocky shadows are the new Cell shading Its teh coolest.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

It is not next gen. Doom 3 on Xbox has higher-res shadows. I want a refund.

 

[Mentok]

But Doom3 sucked and made me want to vommit.

Jade then presented a series of videos showing how an avatar would automatically move his hands to push or twist his body to accommodate the people that were in his way while he moved. Sometimes he would unbalance or push someone down; eventually, the guard characters began to push him down. They would even pin him by the arms and keep him from moving after enough time.

Walking through crowds is awesome

Doom 3's shadows make me want to vomit less that Assassin's.

 

[Mentok]

Yeah, the shadows are pure porn, the game is vommit material though... They should have just made a game where you spank Carmack on the ass for three hours... That would have been better IMO

 

[villejo]

When did you get this!?! The last one I got was Red Steel. And this game looks looks like the prerendered Killzone 2 footage, but better.

 

[Mentok]

I dont think its out yet... Just leaked on the net.

There were shadows in Doom 3? For God's sake, the first 12 minutes of that game was shrouded in perpetual darkness. This is a third-person actioner, Doom 3 is a shooter. And the shadows arent that blocky, some games don't even have shadows. Get a grip man.

 

[sandwraith]

No scimitar...aww....

This post gave me a chuckle because it's so true. The whole game is just dark, dark dark.

I am so hyped for this game now. I have been reading a book about Saladin and the Crusades... Its damn cool.

If they can get the atsmophere right (they will, it is UBISOFT) this will be an amazing game.

 

[sandwraith]

I'm not familiar with Hitman, and the game seems to be compared alot to it. Is Hitman good?

Well...in true history the Hashashin or as we call them today: The Assassins, were hated by both the Muslims and the Crusaders. Saladin in particular was the target of two assassination attempts, the second one coming very close to killing him (RE: Warriors of God by James Reston Jr.). Their apparent calling card was a dagger and some pancakes(?) left on the pillow or table of a target, a sort of warning or mind game. The Assassins were primarily Persian, and hence, most of them were Shi'ites by religion. They had as much love for Sunnis as they did for the Christians, which is none. Their primary enemy in the Third Crusade were the Knights Templar, under the command of one Gerard de Ridefort, the vicious Master of the Temple who was feared and hated even amongst his own fellow Christians. The Hospitallers for example hated him to the core. The Assassins were excellent at playing both sides of the fence but they undoubtedly remained loyal to their Islamic counterparts, even if they had their reservations. The Dai of that era should be Rashid Al-Din Sinan, better known as the Old Man of the Mountain.

^ and those pancakes sound good

 

[Mentok]

Mmmmmm... Ominous pancake warning
