New "Modern" Prince of Persia Reveal Gameplay Trailer
 

That model and art design, rap song kind of ruined the hype.

There was a PS3 Prince of Persia game that was an absolute masterpiece. You were running around with a girl (Ormaz or something like that) and the guy was voiced by the Uncharted guy. That game was amazing, the graphics were perfection and the girl in it was ridiculous - like if that was a real girl and not a video game character you'd be in lust and love forever :lol:

That game was terrific.

I have no idea what that $#!( in the trailer above is supposed to be. Looks like a cheap downlodable network game with a horrible, mismatched, out of place soundtrack.

That game looked amazing and had a great story but its gameplay was awfully repetitive. The platforming was basically nothing but Quick Time Events, you could play through large parts of the game holding the controller in one hand. In comparison to the "Sands of Time" games, it lacked any challenge because of that. But as I said, I did enjoy its presentation which kept me playing even though the actual game bored me to tears.

Speaking of presentation, the game was released in 2008 and looks much better than this new one. This "Ubisoft original" reminds me of the second "Sands of Time" game which had this very forced "gritty" look and a lame metal soundtrack.

Looks too "shiny." Like World of Warcraft or Paladins or something. And I'm assuming that soundtrack is just for the benefit of the trailer.... er, right?

Art style is a generic garbage. Looks "Overwatch"y and boring.
This game being "metroidvania" sounds good, though, as usual, I'd prefer a regular platformer.

Reminder that you're all old and companies don't pander to you anymore, this was designed to appeal to the new generation as you can clearly see with the character design, accept reality and move on old man

Yeah.... I would say that everything you said there is pretty on the spot.....

This looks and sounds like everything but Prince of Persia.

This is going to please no one lol flop!

Haha, let me guess, when you said it was a masterpiece, you had completely forgotten how boring the actual gameplay was?

And sdp, what an obnoxious post. Jesus.

I think I was so drawn in by the story and the designs that the narrative captured me so much that I want to go back there. I do remember that once you got the sword fighting techniques down that it was pretty repetitious though, although I do recall one or two fights being hard - like you had to break through defenses or something.

This was back in my "I get the platinum trophy in every game to maximize it's value days". So I also think a lot of my gaming back then was "tasking".

Reminder the new generation doesn't know what it wants and can go suck a lemon.
