By "looks" I meant, how the game seems to be shaping up to be. I don't think Prince of Persia is looking like an interesting game."

Maybe you haven't been watching the right videos. Go and watch the IGN specials and prepare to be amazed!

"Meh, seems like the Prince of Persia series is fighting to stay relevant.

Plus, Ubisoft is one of the shittiest big video game companies, and the worst of the top 3 (Activision, EA, Ubisoft).

This game will probably end up like Assassin's Creed."

How can you even say that with a straight face. Ubisoft's Montreal division almost always comes out with games that are high quality. Rarely if ever do their games get below an 8. Assassin's Creed has an average of 8.1 on metacritic so it wasn't that big of a disappointment...

When a game is supposedly a part of a trilogy like Assassin's Creed was/is, the ending of the game should make you want to see what happens in the second iteration. Not make you say, "Um...what?"

*Spoiler*

For instance, at the end of God of War II, when Kratos is all "I'm coming for you, Zeus" and stuff, it made me excited to see how the third will end. A successful ending can make all the difference.

Wow, you sure have the whole "kiss-ass" thing coming along nicely. Good luck when you try to work for them like you say you want to.


It was a great disappointment. IGN put Assassin's Creed in their top 5 gaming disappointments of all time.

But, they're probably not credible enough for you.

Honestly, I do take everything IGN says with a grain of salt. I don't find them to be the most reliable, they seem to have a talent deficit; with the odd exception of a few, specifically Jason Ocampo. But I understand why some people were disappointed, maybe I wasn't because I didn't hold it to the expectations that others did in the pre-launch hype. I was disappointed slightly, myself; however, this was only in retrospect when viewing the combat and certain story elements.

But yeah, LiquidPrince, tone down the brown nosing. It won't do you any good, especially here."

I'm not toning down anything. I made a single thread in which I want to praise a game that I am sure will be a good game and is worth the purchase for anybody who like third person action games. If you don't like my opinion then you are welcome to stop posting in this thread. However if you wish to come here and actually have a proper debate as to why you think Ubisoft isn't a good game company or on any other topic, then be my guest. However, what I have said is fact. All three Prince of Persia's, and Assassin's Creed have an average that is over 8 on metacritic. That alone soldifies my argument that they are indeed a top notch game company, or at least that there Montreal division is.

No, but you're kissing ass when you discount anyone's opinion when it disagrees with yours and then proclaim the studio "almost always comes out with games that are high quality." (see such groundbreaking games as Lost and Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu), and have stated you want to work for them.

Gee, it's really hard to see the fucking bias, don't you think?

You are a biased Ubisoft, PlayStation, Prince of Persia fanboy who throws his arms up at any time someone disagrees with him (see: having an opinion). And then you ask me such questions like "How can you even say that with a straight face?"

Cut the melodramatics. Ubisoft makes millions of dollars, they don't need the promo from you.

You can have an opinion, obviously, however I want to know more then , "Oh, I dislike Ubisoft" or "Assassin's Creed was a disappointment, therefore Prince of Persia will be too." I want to know why it is you think that this game isn't going to be good, which is exactly opposing my opinion of the game. And I don't give a shit if Ubisoft makes money or not. I'm not advertising the game, because I want them to get money, but because I genuinely think it's going to be an enjoyable game, so maybe you could cut the crap, with all this mocking business and try to give a proper answer.

No, people resort to this sort of thing when anything of value has done or will do nothing. A la, lost cause. To tell me that I am wrong in my opinion is absurd. To tell me that I have an incorrect perception, existent because I haven't seen the right videos is absurd. To tout that Ubisoft Montreal is the greatest developer, and that we shouldn't be able to say otherwise with a straight face, is absurd.

When confronted about such comments, you dodge the question and say that we are avoiding trying to have a "proper debate." I will not explain this most obvious of ironies, it does not need any explanation. When it has come to that level, rather this level there is nothing further I or anyone else can do. That is why this topic is a lost cause and more importantly, its creator is a lost cause. You are a lost cause.

Now I know who is the lost cause in this discussion. First of all, I was just kidding around said maybe you hadn't seen the right videos, but it was still a perfectly valid thing to say, because usually the more you know about a game the more interested you can become in it. I was merely giving you a friendly tip, but apparently you didn't catch that. Second, I never said your opinion was absurd... Maybe you should go back and see what I said. The only comment that even came close to what your are claiming I said was when you said that Assassin's Creed was a major disappointment and I replied by saying that it had an average of 8.1 so it couldn't have been that big of an dissapointment. Thirdly, if you actually go back and read what I say carefully, you can see that in every one of my posts I said that Ubisoft montreal was ONE of the best studio's, not THE best studio, and that was solely based on the fact that they have a great track record with thier games releases.

Indeed I will ask whether you said Ubisoft was a bad company with a straight face, because your claim is a lot more ridiculous in it's nature then mine which is simply saying that Ubisoft is a good company...

^ Last line must be directed towards me, because I said it.

Look at what Ubisoft puts out on DS and Wii.

2 major platforms, both best-selling in their races.

Shovelware.

1. It's not Prince of Persia
2. The main character looks like he could be in Final Fantasy
3. Why some chick tags along and "saves" you is beyond me.
4. Prince's voice actor sounds like Altair (out of FUCKING PLACE).
5. Combat looks sloppy.

Cool, you want to enjoy it, go ahead. Just let others have their own feeling on the game so you don't look like a douchebag (like you do now).

This thread really, really, really needs to get locked. If you can't see what's wrong here, than I pity you."

sweet this game LOOKS sick. any online fuctions at all?

Nice. I thought it was stated a long time ago that games that start out on the PS3 as the lead platform turn out better for all involved.  Something about porting from the 360 to the PS3 that just doesn't jive. You'd think that most developers would embrace such a model, so that more versions of their game are optimized.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.

"sweet this game LOOKS sick. any online fuctions at all?"

"sweet this game LOOKS sick. any online fuctions at all?"

Ahhh ha, way to go Ubisoft :D I have major respect for the Montreal team. Actually, your constant bombardment of PoP info and fanism - is slowly turning my head towards the series, prince. I've actually got an eyebrow cocked and an interest in it now. - and no that's got nothing to do with learning that the PS3 has lead in dev.

Good thing they're including trophies in the game. But where exactly does it say the PS3 is the lead platform? It doesn't really matter to me which is the lead platform as long as they both end up good, but I'm kinda curious to find out Ubisoft's reasons for choosing the PS3 as lead.

Its said the PS3 has been the lead platform for a while now, not that it makes it difference, it just means it will look of equal quality on both systems. It looks good enough for a rent to me, but that's all I'm giving it. I absolutely hated Assassin's Creed though so if anything is common enough to that it will probably turn me off. I encourage everyone to look at IGN's hero factor for this though, first part came out yesterday, second/third are coming out today/tomorrow. A friend of mine is the one who created it, and it turned out pretty good and shows a good amount of stuff if you are on the fence or just want to see more.

I absolutely hated Assassin's Creed

No 'Wow" about it, everyone can have an opinion. Once I realized the entire game was just going to have the same few mission structions and nothing was ever going to change I got extremely bored of it. I have no intention on ever finishing it either.

Btw no, you're not. Because that response basically to everyone else appears as if you're simply saying "Wow, that's not possible it sa great game, and not actually possible for you to think this about it, you're wrong" instead of just "well that's your opinion, I actually liked the game".

I caught a commercial on TV the other night, hella awesome.  Thx for the new vid link Prince, will be checkin it in 2 secs."

I'll take this "exclusive" review with a grain of salt , and patiently wait for some other reviews to come in. The visuals do look amazing though , hopefully the gameplay is strong enough.
