Ubisoft registers PrinceOfPersiaProdigy.com
How can a mysteriously cryptic countdown site get even more cryptic? Well, it can eventually lead to a picture of Daniel Day-Lewis. Or, it can be discovered before the cryptic marketing campaign even begins. What an enigma! That's exactly the case with whatever "Prince of Persia Prodigy" is. First, the phrase was trademarked by series creator Jordan Mechner, now the domain (www.princeofpersiaprodigy.com) has been registered by Ubisoft.
It once redirected to this odd page, which features a series of glowing blue characters being obscured by black goo, symbiote style. Now, the domain doesn't even do that! So, what does it all mean? ... We don't know, and we're not going to put the energy into finding out. Much like Danny Glover or Castro, we're getting too old for this doody. But maybe you youngsters can piece it together.

I dunno... it looks less like black goo than black milkshake reaching acrooooss the page. And it's not just obscuring the text, it's drinking it up.

Prodigy, eh? Sure sounds like a prequel to me. Had that officially been confirmed or was that still up in the air? Hopefully we won't have to play as Orlando Bloom though...

It's a Prince of Persia game infused with oil politics.
Someone digs for oil in the middle east, unleashes an ancient evil...

Wasn't that a stage in ETERNAL DARKNESS? >_o?

FOXHOUND,
I do believe that it was. You played a fireman. I'm actually replaying ED and am currently stuck as the photographer in WWII.

Hopefully the game will look as good as Assassins Creed.

That's in the source code, perhaps we should check back in 7 days?
CombatApollo @ Apr 24th 2008 4:40PM
Sorry that is in the source

I guarantee this is the game that will tie in with the movie.

Hi, I would like to draw your attention to one site that may be interesting for you and it is related to new movie Prince of Persia that will be filmed in Disney production. As you probably know, they still did not cast any actor for the main role and I think that they have problem with that, because they have to find one who looks alike the game character because of numerous fans of this game (I am one of them too). At the web site www.saygonvillage.com you can see an actor who created a real Prince character. At this site you can see the costumes from all three parts of the game as well as transformation of the actor who is really amazing. Everything is done in a very professional manner and its quality can match Hollywood production. I think that the public should know about one such huge individual project that cannot be seen every day.
Thank you for your time.
