Prince of Persia officially returns this holiday
According to the publisher, this new Prince of Persia "is opening a new chapter in the Prince of Persia universe" and will feature a new breed of gameplay "poised to rejuvenate the action-adventure genre." The company also states the game will introduce an "illustrative art style." The DS isn't left out in all this, as it'll receive a game -- albeit one with a different storyline and new characters. With a holiday release confirmed, we'll be sure to get some hands-on time with the game at E3.

And yeah, the "characters with a 'tude" died out with the last excellent Sonic game back in the 90s.

Interestingly people had exactly the same issues with it as Sands of Time. A lot of people enjoyed both for the acrobatics and sensation of running around. Others found both repetitive and criticised the combat and other additional elements.*
So I fully expect assasin's creed 2: leather vixens and hard rock edition.
*this second set of people were WRONG.

The concept art looks nice but we all know the games not gonna look/feel ANYTHING like it. If they wanted to do something different conceptually they would...i dunno...make a new IP. Then again, I agree with the Assassins Creed comment above me. Even making new Ips doesn't seem to force the creative hand anymore.

Even Sands of Time had a little bit too much combat at times, great game nonetheless.

Actually the combat in Warrior Within wasn't too bad, once you got the hang of it... but it did completely miss the point that PoP isn't ABOUT combat. I also liked the fact that SoT seperated out the platforming and the combat.. so you didn't end up having to re-do half a level because some monster killed you when you were trying to balance on a beam.
Still, as long as they remember the point of PoP this should be good. SoT is definitely in my top ten games list.

I was a big, throbbing, slippery fan of the Sands of Time (not so much the goth-emo Warrior Within or the pseudo-badass Two Thrones), so i hope they keep the core gameplay and not try to add too much extra and end up ruining their icon. We all saw what happened to our beloved blue hedgehog.

Anyone??
Bueller??
The 3rd one was a reasonable attempt to blend the two.. but it just didn't quite excite me as much as Sands of Time. the first one is still by far the best.

Ah well, will consider the PC version if the specs aren't as ridiculous as Assassin's Creed.
