VG Republic Writes: Prince of Persia is one of those games that has such a tried and true format that it never really seems to die. The franchise that has brought you seven titles to major home consoles may be looking to change the game once again. According to a post from NeoGAF, photos were found on the Climax Studio website and if it isn’t Prince of Persia then it is a seemly copy-cat like game that will be exactly the same but just a different title. You can take a peak below at the images that found their way around the internet today, but there is no mistaking that style of game that fits only that of the Prince of Persia lineage.
Assuming the apocalypse doesn’t happen then not only will we get a second chance, so should some games. With our new found love for life, let’s think about what we’d love to see get a spangly new reboot and a fresh chance to wow gamers.
I didn't see anything about Destroy All Humans. I'd love to see that IP come back in some form.
Destroy All humans was a fun IP. It will be nice if it came back. Honestly I think Haze should get a reboot.That IP had a lot of potential. Maybe have GG work on it.
That was a fun game... it be great on vita.
I still want a new psi ops, with current consoles I think the game would be amazing.
I'm hoping one day that i will be able to get every game from ps1 and ps2 from the psn
Partially agreed but I kinda hate reboots on average. Especially when a sequel would do just fine.
Old list of most wanted is old - but still mostly wanted.
Prince of Persia and Silent Hill have both made appearances this gen however. Are broken.
I actually liked Downpour. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it didn't suck. Of the games on that list, Star Wars Battlefront is my most wanted. Damn shame what it's been through this gen with no release.
While it wasn't a Sony IP, I wouldn't mind a Wing Commander game again. It's been a while since I've seen a good space shooter like it. It even did choices that affected game play long before ME did.
Again .. Parasite eve , Tenchu , Onimusha , Haunting Ground and Fatal frame not on the list !?
I love all of those games you listed there.
I would add Silent Hill (same as OPM)
Legacy Of Kain series, Legend Of Dragoon and Dino Crisis to your list.
Those games you listed are a part of my childhood Why shouldn't i put them already .. Thanks for the heads up :]
According to unconfirmed reports, the new Prince of Persia would be a new reboot of the franchise, held due to bad criticisms of The Forgotten Sands. The idea is to invest in the action, lending an air of the God of War franchise. The new game would be launched by the end of next year and was still in its early stages of development.
They better bloody not
Why reboot it...they didn't even wrap up the other game, they left it on a cliff hanger in the DLC which pointed to a sequel.
Jesus Christ...
It's like watching a TV series, getting really into it and then the network canceling it when it ends on a cliff hanger....just like FlashForward

WTF?? Why not just make a sequel to the 2008 game then if the rushed movie tie-in Forgotten Sands wasn't well received?
Forgotten Sands was pretty damn good. Why they are rebooting it again I don't know. Oy...
Haha, honestly. It was such a creative platformer and the combat came together near the end. It goes for less than $15 nowadays and everyone should try it if they like platformers or the PS2 PoP games.
PLEASE STOP WITH THE RUMORS ALREADY!! every1 was let down this year because of them
"The idea is to invest in the action, lending an air of the God of War franchise."
Like how Dante's Inferno failed to do so miserably? Please for the love of God, let it play/feel similar to the original trilogy. TSOT, WW, and, TT. One of the best trilogies I ever played. Almost up there with GOW for me. Just keep Prince of Persia as Prince of Persia. No need strip it of it's identity. If they're going to do that it might as well be a new IP.
Yeah i also feel like that was one of the best trilogies. I like how every game took a different approach. TSOS you had to parry. WW you had to run away lol. TT you could stealth your way. Basically Assassin's Creed is just the POP trilogy into one.
This year saw the release of a new Prince of Persia game. It released around the same time as the Jake Gyllenhaal without a shirt on epic, but thankfully shares only the title with the movie. The character you play as in the Prince of Persia game kind of looks like Gyllenhaal, but the storyline has absolutely nothing to do with the film.
The game is kind of a strange release as it revisits a Prince of Persia storyline that was completed gracefully and effectively in 2005.
Hope there's a sequel to the 08 Cel-Shaded POP game. I didnt play the game for a challenge or story, I played it mainly for its harmonious visuals.
I liked both PoPs and I'm waiting for a sequel to the 2008 version. The ending wasn't full and we don't know what happens next.
The article mentions the lack of death in the 2008 version compared to this years's but to be honest this years PoP is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo easy you hardly ever die.
Idk I loved the first 2 two games. Never tried the remakes and really don't want to . Maybe this time the series will go back to its roots?
Based on the images, it looks amazing already. I hope this is true.
So we just write it off because it looks like Prince of Persia? That is mature and thoughtful
Prince of Persia doesn't need to go away, it's been in hiatus for a few years now. It needs a proper reboot. Kinda like how Tomb Raider got a reboot.
I just want the series to be rebooted as a downloadable 2.5D platformer. More in-line with the originals, but still keeping some bits of modern design too.
It's NOT Prince of Persia.
Also, I'd love a sequel to the 2008 POP. :( I loved it!
