Title: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on October 04, 2008, 11:57:07 AM I just saw this interesting Developer Diary video of the new Prince of Persia at Gametrailers and I'm wondering how you guys think about this game.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40783.html Most noticable is the new graphics style, I think it's awesome, but what do you think? Should it have been the same as previous installments or are the new graphics like a fresh start for the series?

Do you like this idea or will it stand in the way for smooth and fast gameplay? Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Crabmaster2000 on October 04, 2008, 02:26:39 PM I really like the new graphic style too. Im willing to try some new game mechanics and visuals since I really didnt care for the last 2 PoP games.

Doesn't it look amazing?People/fans will complain about even the slightest of change; even when it's a good change.

Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Wolfman Walt on November 03, 2008, 03:09:52 PM As it stands, Prince of Persia is the game I'm most excited about.
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Cobra on November 03, 2008, 06:47:02 PM That is awesome!
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on November 04, 2008, 08:11:32 AM That is awesome! Does that mean your interest in the series is back? :DTitle: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: logical123 on November 04, 2008, 08:15:56 AM That air pad auto jump thing is stolen (borrowed) from Sonic Adventure...
:laugh: Looks fun though! Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on November 04, 2008, 08:19:35 AM That air pad auto jump thing is stolen (borrowed) from Sonic Adventure... Maybe here it will be doen right, too! :DTitle: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Tondog on November 04, 2008, 10:52:37 AM The graphical style is awesome and a half!
Has anyone tired the new remake of the first game, Prince of Persia Classic? It's a PSN/XBLA downloadable title that's been getting some pretty good buzz lately. Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Cobra on November 04, 2008, 07:58:45 PM That is awesome! Does that mean your interest in the series is back? :DI'll probably buy the Mac port. From there we'll see ;) Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on November 19, 2008, 11:23:40 AM Developer walkthrough part I

What were they thinking? Isn't he from Persia? :-\ Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Wolfman Walt on November 19, 2008, 03:22:38 PM Isn't he from Persia? :-\ Technically, he's only the prince OF Persia. Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on November 19, 2008, 03:24:29 PM Would him sounding American actually surprise you?
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Tan on November 19, 2008, 06:08:05 PM Would him sounding American actually surprise you? I doubt in this day and age, having him speak with an Iranian accent would go over well with many viewers. A bit too volatile. Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on November 20, 2008, 07:30:41 AM Would him sounding American actually surprise you? I doubt in this day and age, having him speak with an Iranian accent would go over well with many viewers. A bit too volatile.Remember how the voices of the characters in Final Fantasy 12 weren't (all) American? I loved that. PS: Not that I have anything against American voices but it can just become a bit much when every game regardless the topic has them. This reminds me of when Max in Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) clears a dungeon level and says "And that takes care of you guys." :-\ Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on December 03, 2008, 09:20:00 AM The GT Review is here - everybody take a look because it is (despite it flaws) still one of the best games this holiday season.

I've read some complaints about the storyline and the dialogue, but it hasn't stood out to me. I'm not one for 3D action titles as a whole and I'm thoroughly enjoying this title.
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on December 26, 2008, 07:30:37 PM It just doesn't quite interest me. I've watched clips, reviews, all praising; but I don't feel a game like this at the moment.
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: jackttt on December 26, 2008, 11:43:55 PM The game is too easy from what i heard but i may give it a try too.
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: phoenix1967 on December 27, 2008, 10:11:37 AM I'll wait for it to become a bargain title before looking into getting a copy.
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: jackttt on December 29, 2008, 12:16:23 AM I'll wait for it to become a bargain title before looking into getting a copy. I will do the same.Maybe wait for the greatest hits like Assassins Creed.Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: jackttt on December 29, 2008, 12:19:19 AM I'll wait for it to become a bargain title before looking into getting a copy.

I got Assassin's Creed as a part of a "Buy 2 Used Games, Get 1 Free" deal at EB/Gamestop and it averaged out to cost about $12 and change. PoP falls in the same category, imo. The price will keep dropping. Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on December 29, 2008, 09:38:46 PM Exactly.

The price will keep dropping. Are there still games out there that you'd buy at release or do you simply wait for all games to drop in price? (A smart thing, if you ask me)Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: jackttt on December 29, 2008, 11:39:35 PM Yes,Uncharted drakes fortune and Motorstorm Pacific Rift.
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on December 30, 2008, 09:33:14 AM Yes,Uncharted drakes fortune and Motorstorm Pacific Rift. Uhm, I did ask phoenix...Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: phoenix1967 on December 30, 2008, 12:02:34 PM Exactly. I got Assassin's Creed as a part of a "Buy 2 Used Games, Get 1 Free" deal at EB/Gamestop and it averaged out to cost about $12 and change. PoP falls in the same category, imo. The price will keep dropping. Are there still games out there that you'd buy at release or do you simply wait for all games to drop in price? (A smart thing, if you ask me)There are some that I'll get right away. Recently I picked up Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, and Gears of War 2 at release. But I still look for ways to offset costs even if a game is new. For example, when I was done with Fable 2 (for now...until I rebuy it at a lower price later), I got good trade in value for it which I applied to offset $33 of the cost of Left 4 Dead. I bought Gears 2 at Circuit City at release because it came with a 1600 MS points card ($20 value). Best Buy or Circuit City had a deal on Fallout 3 about a week or 2 after release, charging $45 for it. Since it was so close to Christmas, I decided to hold off on it, but I've made that $45 amount the benchmark in my mind so as not to pay any more than that for a copy. I've got all sorts of twisted logic about what I'm willing to pay/assign value for any given game. Upcoming games I'm willling to pay full price on (assuming they live up to the hype) in 2009 are Alpha Protocol, Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams, and Dragon Age: Origins. Secondary possibilities include RE5, SF4, Halo Wars, Prototype, Halo 3: ODST, and Borderlands. Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: Sirgin on December 30, 2008, 12:11:40 PM Alright, thanks a lot for answering. :)
Title: Re: Prince of Persia (next gen) Post by: phoenix1967 on December 30, 2008, 12:25:06 PM ^Anytime. Now if someone could teach me how Quarterback Ratings are calculated I'd be all set for worthless information in my head. ;D
