Images of Prince of Persia

Ubisoft led slip three images and some artworks of Prince of Persia: Prodigy - the name is not confirmed at all, but it's the last thing we heard. Hopefully we'll be able to give the game a try at E3.

I thought the first prince of Persia was revolutionary.

I loved playing through it every minute. Although the second and third were good too, they didn't create the same magic.

and soon I found my self loving god of war.

Oh come on, while Warrior Within was a bit of a step back, The Two Thrones was right up there with Sands.

Prince: Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of Time, and I can tell you… they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I really am, and why I say this. Come… and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard…

That line repeated at the end of Two Thrones brought the biggest smile to my face.

MK_Red6187d ago

Well, I love both series but there is a reason that one is a mortal prince while the other is a god :)

As Sands Trilogy, I also think that the original was the best. Still, nothing beats the original first Prince games on PC.

cheese6187d ago

This game is absolutely gorgeous.

Closing6187d ago (Edited 6187d ago )

I hope the characters aren't going to be cell shaded in the game.

jkhan6187d ago

actually i think they are:(

Closing6187d ago (Edited 6187d ago )

Wow, that would be not so cool. I was looking forward to this too. I mean next gen PoP, who wouldn't? But this is going to make me really rethink my stance. As in dropping it off my radar.

lsujester6187d ago

Why would this look make it drop off your radar? This more artistic direction to me better suits Prince of Persia than the more "realistic" look other games try to achieve.

Closing6187d ago (Edited 6187d ago )

it has a desultory look that breaks the level of emersion. I think the art design of PoP has been some of the best in the biz since Warrior, but I just don't like the cell shaded characters.

Definitly looking forward to this game. Could be the first REAL Prince of Persia and not just some random Arabian dude running in Arabian landscapes.

The sales really started strong, but today and yesterday's sales were a bit lackluster, to me.

Hopefully they will go all out tomorrow, if only not to be overshadowed by D2D's crazy Monday sale or whatever they are calling it.

evrfighter5676d ago

cyber monday.

I've never seen any cyber monday deals that were as crazy as black friday deals thought.

led10905676d ago

i doubt Valve ever releases their steam sales numbers. How did you get info about the sales then?

STK0265676d ago

I was not referring to the sales themselves, but the deals. The two first days had better games in my opinion. I bought 5-6 games in the two first days, I thought about buying RE5 yesterday, but decided against it since I already own it on console aswell as Borderlands (actually own it on PC and PS3), as for today, I checked the list, closed Steam, told myself I'd come back tomorrow.

Of course, this is very subjective, since I already owned many of the games that were on sale, but it does seem like the bigger games were on sale on the first day, mainly L4D2 and DAO.

2.2 - I think he just meant in reference to the titles available. I skipped out on 2 because I thought I might have had a crack at some other ones I would be more likely to play, then the last two days didn't have much at all, that I was interested in personally.

pcgia5676d ago

oh, he replied while I was ;)

Can't wait to play it!

Steam deals FTW!

multipayer5676d ago (Edited 5676d ago )

I lolled at the demo on 360, but mouse control would probably make it seem like nice interactive tetris levels.

*looks at unassembled PC parts from black friday* >_<

I had 'The original Prince of Persia' it was an awesome game, still want to play it today. Didn't know until now, Prince of Persia shares it's birthday with mine :D

One of the best game series's to come out in the history of gaming.

A decent Prince of Persia Retrospective (before the film traumatizes us all)

UGO writes,

"To capture the fluid motions that would distinguish Prince of Persia from the glut of adventure video games released in the late '80s Jordan Mechner studied video and still pictures of his younger brother, David. Those are some modest roots for a franchise that has sold in the millions and, in 2010, see the release of a blockbuster film.

But how Mechner's Prince of Persia could inspire a reimagination that would become one of 2008's most popular holiday releases is a winding tale best told in bits. To help explain, we've compiled a chronological retrospective. Now you can learn how a kid jumping around the front yard became a thousand-polygon model leaping across hundred foot chasms."

thedukeofkna5793d ago

I absolutely abhorred the new POP game. The taint of the whole series by far. such a waste of 30 dollars.
