Despite the coincidence of the new game's release date to that of the movie, this doesn't look like it will be a simple movie tie-in; at least, I don't think you can expect the in-game prince to look like Jake Gyllenhaal. But he won't look like last year's rogueish non-prince, either. This game is said to be a "return to the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time storyline" and "will feature many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand," in the words of the press release. Whatever elements those are.
That's about all there is to know at this point, though we'll get a look at the game itself in a couple of weeks here when it premieres on the Spike TV Video Game Awards. Maybe I'll finally remember to fire up that Epilogue DLC for last year's game before then.
Since we don't actually know anything concrete yet, what would you want to see in a new Sands of Time game? Let's assume "less baditude" is implicit in that question and go from there.
I liked the Sands of Time games better than the new one, and I liked the new one. I'm down.
Actually, playing Assassin's Creed II I'm getting more than a little bit of my Prince of Persia fix already....
Here's some hard hitting info. Since sand is already plural, the use of the word "sands" means that there will be multiple volumes of sand!
...right?
My engleesh is no good.
PoP FOREVER!
P.S. - The movie will be awesome. I'm serious!
I thought everybody really liked the new one... I mean I didn't really care for it... and I HATED the ending. Whatever, I feel like each series should only be allowed one reboot before they have to give up and just start a new IP. At this point really all they are selling anymore is the name right? I think they could have called the last one anything they wanted and nobody would have really questioned it. Is there even a overarching story going on anywhere here? The only thing that seems consistent is some of the gameplay mechanics.
I think if we're being honest, this isn't a great series. This is a consistently offkilter mediocre series with one bafflingly good game that happened to get everything right. The charity they earned with Sand of Time has long since run out.
I'd rather see the continuation of the new PoP storyline, since I really liked the last game.
Hope they put more effert into the game then they did with that Logo.
I dont understand why they would go back to the sands of time storyline considering last years game was a reboot of the franchise
yeh wtf.
