PS3 Fanboy

No more burning with generic rage?

From the screenshots i've seen, this looks far better than the last two efforts from the Prince. The style looks amazing and the story sounds great. Hopefully they get Stuart Chatwood for the music again and get decent voice actors.

I got to the last boss battle on Warrior Within (I usually play games YEARS after they're released) on the morning I picked up my PS3.

Needless to say, that's one boss that that will perpetually have the better of me cause I can't see myself going back.

As for the style of the new Prince - I like it. I'm not sure about the "duelling" aspect of the fight system. I kinda liked the inane acrobatics and multiple foe slaughter-fests. I'll have to wait and see what some gameplay looks like. The jury's out on this one.

Its sounding pretty damn good, but I haven't played many of the PoP games in the past. It could make or break the franchise.

Ok, so in general it has absolutely nothing to do at all with the PoP series? Here's an idea, GIVE IT A DIFFERENT NAME. Jesus, the "slap a name on something just because it's recognizable" trend has GOT to stop.

Just name the damn thing "I Want to be a Desert Ninja"

Sounds more like The (Fresh) Prince of the creed.AC story sucked and it was too repetitive.

I hope the best for this game and I want my Prince of Persia figurine in my limited edition Kthnxbi.

If it get also the screen tearing from AC then I will not be buying this one...

So it doesn't have a prince anymore? Does that make this The Pauper of Persia?

"Every fight in the game will be a duel -- you won't be slicing around bad guys like an overpowered acrobat anymore unless it's one-on-one. You don't even win a lot of these duels, apparently -- you just make the enemy retreat for a time and then fight them off again until you manage to defeat them."

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT!! that is the WORST IDEA EVER!!! That is what POP was all about!! ever since the first one this game became crap. The whole open world thing would be good if they know how to do it but from what im hearing so far about this game, seems like there just trying to push and push money they took the engine from The Creed and dumb down the grafix and make it open world(ish) with....DUELS u got to be kidding me... this is ganna be ten times more repetitive then assassins creed. GET YOUR SH## TOGETHER UBI Start making GOOD GAMES all i see is HAZE, Rainbow 6v2 wasent even that good it was RB6V with Sprinting (COD4 copiers) and new guns ohh boy!!(joke) what do u think the new brothers in arms is ganna do it for your company?? PLZ WERE TIRED OF ww2 games.. then what else they got in the near future tom Clancy's H.A.W.K.s and END WAR, end war will be good for you strat players but hawks.. thats what we need another Plane game wooptie doo!!

I agree with Mike, NO MORE WW2 games PLZ!!!

new PoP, on the other hand, I LIKE!!! I dont care about them slapping THE SAME NAME on a completely different game AS LONG AS the game has a great story and gameplay mechanics (still cant get over resident evil 4)

if the dueling enemies will have a decent "IQ" lol and different fighting styles for every duel, that would be ammazing.

UBISOFT, make the enemies capable of interacting with the environment (like picking up objects around the room...weapons, rocks, pots lol w/e) AND allow them to have the option to take PRINCE's sword if he (for example) does something stupid. Bottom line, there is plenty of potential in the new PoP - just ask the players for suggestions!

Don't forget that the gaming industry is just that - an industry. There's a PoP film on its way and it makes logical sense to slap PRINCE and PERSIA on every game that they physically can. I'm not going to criticise the studio for wanting to link their new game with a successful IP.

That said, I am hoping that they at least make the game pertinent to the IP. Like, maybe he's not a Prince in the royal sense but in some other way (that completely escapes me at the moment but I'm not going to under-estimate the abilities of game writers to somehow make the title applicable to the story.)

I'll miss the acrobatics though. Then again, I still have Warrior Within to play.

Personally, it seems that the dueling aspect is more in line with the original "Prince of Persia." Remember, that is basically what you did--a duel. It was never really exciting. Look at how the dudes stood! The point was exploring and finding a way out of a maze. An open world lends itself to exploration, does it not? So, I'm suspecting this will be a pretty good return to its roots if done correctly. Don't get me wrong, the recent additions to the franchise are cool--but a return to those simpler times might be really nice.

I think their planning to kill the legend PoP by this new wanna-be game. cel-shading??!! 1-vs-1 dual??! come on!!! no offence but ... PoP IS about acrobats, slicing bad guys, anger and darkness, exotic arabic nights. you gona lose a huge number of fans because thats the PoP that we get used to. Im not saying that the new game wont be a great game or anything ... but as a previous dude said: if you want to change all these things, you gonna KILL the LEGEND OF POP. GIVE IT ANOTHER NAME. OR make a new REAL PoP ... and work hard on it, even if it takes you more time ... I mean this is PRINCE OF PERSIA we're talking about here
