I wasn't too crazy about the one that came out... was it 2 years ago? Yeah.. late 2008.. Wasn't too crazy about that one. This new one looks awesome though! It basically just tries to fill at least some of the 7 year gap between Sands of Time and Warrior Within. Dastan's face looks more detailed, but at the same time the face doesn't match with the voice.. they should've made him younger looking.. Just look at his picture from this one and the Warrior Within game.. you'll know what I'm talking about..

Anyways this one has been released. Pretty solid game so far. Some things seem like they need fixing though like jumping from column to column, and the wall run needs a little fixing because he jumps to the wall and starts wall running.. that's not right..

this looks great. I avoided the last game because it wasn't in this timeline, but this one I have no excuse not to get.

I also forgot to mention that this game uses the engine that was used with Assassin's Creed 1, and they may not have mentioned it but I can only guess they used a little pieces from AC2 as well... why wouldn't they?

Now this is the prince of persia that I wanted instead of the 2008 version.  This game is going to be awesome.

God damn Prince`s design is fugly but oh well gameplay looks good, i did like the latest prince of persia though so im not part of the "THANK YOU GOD" movement on this game.

yeah, it looked like he got a nose job and his eyebrows are a little thicker.. they definitely changed the nose.

Remember though people that the last Prince of Persia for this series was in 2005... Technology has come quite far since then. A lot more detail can now be added to everything, especially with the engine they're using.

On a side note, I did kind of like the last one too... but... like you couldn't die... which made it kind of more realistic now that you have a woman saving your butt every time you die.. but it felt cheap to me...

The last Prince of Persia game did feel kind of broken.  The fact that you couldn't die was a really annoying.  It was basically like going through the entire game with God mode activated.  But I did like how they added a unique twist to the platforming, and the different costumes you could play the game with.

Well you were penalized for falling by being sent  back some or the boss getting health back. I mean what is better, dying on a ledge having to load back into the game where you died or you falling and being sent back to the same spot without loading? I do think however you should be able to die at bosses when whats her face was trapped at points by some bosses. I mean it doesn't make sense that she can free herself to save you, but not free herself and stay free to help you fight.

[ATiC3]

Yeah. I know that much, but it still felt kind of cheap but at the same time it made the game more realistic.... kind of...

Design and pesonality wise that guy was the best prince ever, we`ve had enough tormented emos to be honest.

It was also great how in the ending he said: f**k the world, im keeping the girl.

That was pretty epic, . Did you play the epilogue by any chance? I probably wont.... ever... I just wanted to know what happened... they escaped from the giant cloud guy that they were trying to contain, I can only guess...

i didnt play it, the money was hardly worth one more hour of game

[ATiC3]

, I just rented when it came out... it was easy enough to beat during that time.

What do y'all think of this game so far? Besides the Prince's facial look of course... There's no arguing that, because I bet they can't fix that with how far they've gotten...

I wikipedia'd this and apparently the same engine used in this game was used in BOTH A.C. games.. not just the first one.. although for the 2nd one it was a little updated, and I hope they're using the updated version for this game...

[ATiC3]

Bumped with new pic and videos. This game comes out in 12 days and I already have it pre-ordered!

[ATiC3]

The game just released today!

Who's playing it!?

I'm almost at 1st big boss right now... Taking a little break though...
Post Merge: May 19, 2010, 06:40:26 PMWow....... Does everyone hate the Prince of Persia games or something? lmao...

I just beat this actually... I MIGHT return it now or trade it in and wait for it to go down in price to get it back.. Definitely worth more like $20 or $30 rather than $60......
