Who sets a giant demon free? The prince's brother doesn't seem to bright.

The Prince of the whole of Persia?!  Wow, that's pretty impressive.  I'm gonna wait for the King of Persia game though.  Sorry.

Well the story doesn't seem like it'd be doing anything for me, I'll just have to put my hopes in the gameplay then.

@Rolento:  Yeah, I really don't get what they are thinking with their recent PC releases. Particularly since they didn't even pull their DRM shit off professionally and failed to minimize hassle by at least providing excellent connectivity on their end.

  :D 
It is beyond ridiculous. Still, it remains as an outstanding example of how not to do a trailer that appeals to me. As long as I don't have to pay for it or play it and only need less than 2 minutes of my time it actually is the good kind of cheesy. I think I can ignore the game and the movie from now on...

I fucking hate that american voice at the end that says "Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands." Destroys the atmosphere that the trailer worked so hard to present.

I love the PoP games and storyline. But this is an obvious rushing of a game to go with the movie. 
 
Come on Ubisoft, your better than that.

Yeah, does seem kind of weird since the graphics don't quite match the style of those games though. 
 
While I'm not fond of the art direction from what I see so far, I'll take it if the gameplay matches up to the previous games. Since PoP2008 had great art direction and poor gameplay, graphics obviously aren't everything.

I'm still pretty pissed they decided to go with this very shoehorned prince of persia game rather than continue the 2008 game's story

Not to mention the awful lines.
Everything about the game doesn't impress me. Even the sub title(I forget if thats name for it) looks and sounds bad.

 How does something like this happen? Like when this game was green lighted by folks at Ubisoft did no one stop and be like "hey guys this game looks really really crappy we cant make this game, it looks like a PS2 game, its 2010 for the love of God".

The problem is having the release coincide with the film release. It was a good idea, but it backfired immensely. Too many people still believe one is based off the other (film or game).
 
The graphics aren't that amazing, but neither were GTA IV's. I guess nobody cared about that because it was a well-established franchise. To boot, it was actually a good game. Maybe people will turn their heads with this release as well. If it's good, word will hopefully get out. I'm putting some blind faith into this "Sands of Time" Prince of Persia.

It's been in development for a year and a half so I don't think it's a movie-tie in.

It looks like it could be decent but the trailer is making me think otherwise. It's really a shame  since The Sands of Time was one of my favorite games from the last generation.

PoP games were always a definite day one purchase for me, not anymore though. Going back to this Prince is a mistake as that story should be left alone (although i can understand why they have done so it's tied in with the movie). It also looks pretty terrible...

Ironic, as these guys hate themselves.And yeah. He looks like shit, really.


I might check it out, looks definitely moar interesting than the piece of shit 2008 game.
