"After a three-year hiatus, it's about time Prince of Persia returned to the scene and weaved its magic blend of platforming and acrobatic combat."
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
With the release of The Lost Crown this week, let's take a look at every Prince of Persia game released since the series debuted.
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
Sounds just like me. I mapped out the indoor areas on paper, leaving the SNES on for days at a time. But I never finished the game. I collected all the raptor eggs except one. So close !
oh god, I remember beating JP on SNES and like you said, it was all in one shot.
I dunno about this list though, I beat all the Star Wars games and while some levels were tough, it was easy to get powerups and extra lives and stuff. Maybe set to the hardest settings it was tough. I also beat Contra 3, loved that game to death.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
i agree, we need to see the prince and personally i really want an 08 sequel or something that finishes the story, or at least a real PoP game.
It really does. A reboot that's true to the previous games with them still in canon or a continuation of the 08 one would be nice.
It really doesn't. It's a strong franchise that has been re-imagined twice, and has what, 12+ games?
There are plenty of other franchises just as good, if not better, that have seen far fewer games that have been abandoned for far longer. Legacy of Kain, Homeworld, Suikoden, to name a few.
I would like for one similar to Two Thrones, just with a better story this time around. I loved the powers you got - it really added an exciting element to the game. Maybe just make the game a bit longer though. And I hope Ubisoft doesn't try to make it like Assassin's Creed. Don't get me wrong, I love Assassin's Creed, but to me it doesn't have the same feel as Prince of Persia has (or had)
I say reboot it. And I say that as the biggest POP fan I know. There just needs to be a new energy from Ubisoft put into the series.
