Sounds good i”ve always loved this franchise.

to be honest this sounds annoying, all they’ve done is ruined Prince of persia then gone right back to what they were doing to begin with, if you were to make something, screw it up and then go back to the original way you were making it how is that a success when you’ve wasted tons of time with the middle parts when it worked to begin with. My point is sands of time was ok to begin with and you don’t fix something that’s broken.
Though this is extremely good to hear as i was starting to get worried that ubisoft were copying square enix with the emo characters. Though something i’ve always wonder, why do most of the great ubisoft games have characters who wall climb? Do french people like wall climbing, if i go to france will i be asked to wear 12 centery clothes and to use things sticking out of buildings to climb them?

umm if you thought they ruined prince of persia with the last game then you were wrong.
Prince of Persia is its own universe. It doesn’t have to be the same prince every time to make it good. I personally loved the last one. It look amazing and I am kinda disappointed that they are going back to the old prince now. WTF finish what you started.
Speaking of finishing things, didn’t The Two Thrones pretty much wrap up the first 3 games? I am not saying I am not going to like this one. Well depending if it is a movie adaptation but still I would have rather them finish up the last one.
That is my opinion on this game

This has to just be a movie tie-in right? I mean it’s coming out in May 2010, which is when the movie comes out. And we already knew they were going to make a tie-in game for the movie… so unless they are planning on releasing two Prince of Persia games in May…
I’m just going to assume they haven’t abandoned the new storyline and be happy.

The first 2 were great, I had a hard time getting into the 3rd one, I loved the last one which was not part of the sands of time but they got a bit overkill on some of the difficulty during the sands of time games.
Honestly though it’s more about the way that they had the enemies spawn that bugged me. What’s great about the Sands of Times games is more enemies and more ways to strategically go at them. What the last game was missing was that strategical versatility and sense of character growth in terms of power and strength.

a good thing that it’s returning to its roots because the last Prince of Persia game is absolutely terrible

I enjoyed all the PoP titles except the last one, it had it’s cool moments and all, I just thought
the ones before were better.

The last one was great but I just felt that it was too easy.

You like the newer game? That sucked! It was for PoP what windwaker was for zelda, a piece of crap that was too easy and used terriable gameplay. I’m glad their returning to the sands of time like gameplay as that was what made prince of persia what is is and just becasue a movie is coming out dosen’t mean it has to follow the movie by word, for one it was a game to begin with so it’s the develpors own content and secondly the movie will suck (The trailer looks like it’s just had parts from the scorpion king and the mummy movies stapled together)
and thirdly avatar didn’t follow the movie and has all new content you won’t see in the movie and takes part roughly about ten years (i think) before the events in the movie.

the last prince of persia wasnt crap.. it was just plain boring and way too easy.
i liked running upside down on the roof and the surroundings were beautiful in an unique way.
but i want my dahaka back.

first of all: timewarp, you’re a fool- Windwaker was amazing. Get over your petty mentality that cell shading is for kids, and look at what a game offers- Windwaker returned and delivered what zelda was about.
now to sony
I loved the original PoP games, and unfortunately never played the new one. Regardless, if this one is a good game, i’ll get it. PoP has changed many many times, just look at the snes version.
