A while ago, Ubisoft stated that the Prince of Persia franchise was on hold (bummer #1). After that, a few screenshots were posted on Climax Studios’ website, and everyone thought that they represented the next generation PoP. Unfortunately, those turned out to be mere concept pieces, and nothing came out of them (bummer #2). Now, Ubisoft is teasing us with an announcement of the long awaited series, which is apparently coming next week. In hope that the announcement won’t turn into bummer #3, and Ubisoft will actually unveil a next generation PoP, here is a wish list describing the things which I’d like to see from this possible next entry... - Vlad Pintea, Chief of News & Reviews/PC Editor for Analog Addiction
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 thought the relationship bewteen the Prince and Farah was much more compelling than that between him and Elika. And Warrior's Within was unnecessarily violent, in my opinion. In other words, I want the next PoP to be like a better version of Sands of Time which is to me the best episode of the franchise and one of my favourite games of all time.
