I feel like this is an attempt by Ubisoft to trick us all into thinking this game isn't a movie tie-in by not modeling the Prince after Jake Gyllenhaal, when it actually IS a movie tie-in with the same level of care that goes into most movie games. I dunno, the timing of the release, the unoriginality in everything I've seen from this game and the sudden departure from 2008's reboot of the series all kind of coalesces into what I'm skeptical of being nothing but a movie tie-in wearing camouflage.

@Irish87: It's the voice actor for the original prince of persia games by Ubisoft, he's always sounded like that.

" The ending of that trailer was rather bland. All he did was jump from falling tower, to another falling tower, to finally a safe platform, then it cuts with a close-up of his face. "
indeed, I'm really not interested in another Prince of Persia.

@Progn0sticator: it's had the same development cycle of any other big game.  They've been working on it since the last PoP at least.

No. in the other franchises, they actually have something new to offer everytime (most of them). Prince of Persia is the same sad ancient story where you wall run and sword fight assholes.

Bullshit. 
 
Most sequels are just more of the same. This industry is built off of sequels. Deal with it.

Hopefully this one will explain why the Prince went all foul mouthed and jaded in Warrior Within.

@Trilogy:  So you're telling me that the difference between Sands of Time and the 2008 PoP is the same as the difference between Victy City and IV ? or CoD2 and MW2 ? or SC CT and Conviction ? etc.....

All I'm saying is that PoP isn't the only series to stick to its basic structure. The PoP 2008 game had some features that set it apart from it's predecessors. At the core it's the same experience but so is just about every sequel including the ones you mentioned. Fallout 3 is an example of the exception.

"I find the voice actor complaints hilarious considering that's his ORIGINAL voice actor. The one from Sands of Time and The Two Thrones. That's exactly how he sounded like in those games, and if you hated his voice there too... well you can just go and piss off! "

 
If you honestly think that was was original voice actor, you need to go back and actually listen to the original games....It is definitely not the same voice actor, atleast not in the trailer, and the voice actor in the trailer is terrible, as is the character model. I sincerely hope that is not the final model, and that the voice actor from the trailer is not doing the voice acting in the game, because there is no way i can sit through a full game of that.

Hrm, glad there was info on this @ GiantBomb to figure out where the hell this goes in the series. My prediction is that while the game itself might be good, releasing it about the same time as the movie will confuse some of the general public who are so used to seeing a movie-based game come out around the same time as a movie.

"
Anyone who cares for the game knows its not a tie-in.  However, those consumers who are, for lack of a better term, uniformed, they will see "Prince of Persia" and be like, "OH!!  Like that JAKE GYLEN-whatever his name is movie!!!  I'm getting it!!"  They'll hit both markets releasing alongside the movie...

Pretty cool. I don't care much for the way he looks or sounds, but hopefully I'll grow into it like the last PoP game. (I really liked the look of the last game, but the LA accent was really bad. Sorry Mr. North!)

Why is it that all ancient races in games and movies have upper class British accents? This was long before our British Empire.

Everything looked beautiful except for his face, and the trailer was fucking boring. I'm expecting this to be crap.

It's either this or a faux "Middle Eastern" accent, which isn't much better at all.
 
Or in the case of Assassin's Creed's Altair, a modern American accent. Take your pick.

The Prince's eyes are a bit too close together, like maybe his parents were related.
