GC 2008: Prince of Persia gameplay (featuring dude's head)
Down in front! Watch as some guy's head almost steals the spotlight from the Prince ... almost. Be sure to stick around for the slick Okami-esque effects near the end (warning: they're after the lame voice work.).

The graphics and gameplay look promising.
However, doesn't his enemy look an awful lot like Raziel from Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver...
elmersglue @ Aug 20th 2008 3:32PM
Extremely vague resemblance, maybe with the colors and the shroud across the face. But I do see overall design resemblances with soul reaver, and since I freaking loved that game, any parallels with it can't be a bad thing.
Jakka @ Aug 20th 2008 3:45PM
Not really.They have a completely different builds.
That's Raziel http://utenti.quipo.it/imperatore85/sfondi/sfondi%20raziel%206.jpg - Sleek, Agile and Athletic he's much more similar to the Prince himself.
Now onto the enemy from the trailer.He's a slow mofo that can barely move.You could have a sandwich and still dodge his attacks.He is fucking huge and fat which doesn't really look like Raziel.
The only things they have in common are rags.
elmersglue @ Aug 20th 2008 3:29PM
Gorgeous. I love the art design.
Jakka @ Aug 20th 2008 3:30PM
Looks good, but this whole co-op jump and the chick following you sucks because Prince is a loner...and they should've kept it that way.

Is it just me, or does the guy's voice sound wimpy and lame? I was expecting a gruff Solid Snake tone.
Erluti @ Aug 20th 2008 3:34PM
I wasn't expecting anything gruff like Solid Snake. I was expecting something more Ewan McGreggor-ish like in the first one.
But your right, this voice is kinda lame. Sounds really anime.
notorietyh @ Aug 20th 2008 3:41PM
I thought he sounded almost exactly liek Nathan rake from Uncharted. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same voice actor
Nate @ Aug 20th 2008 4:38PM
Really didn't sound anything like Nathan Drake.
t_m @ Aug 21st 2008 1:38AM
gruff tones are what ruined the second one.
I want the voice actor from sands of time.. that is all thats needed.
Erluti @ Aug 20th 2008 3:33PM
I love how proud the dude looks in the end.
kaneda @ Aug 20th 2008 3:34PM
Ugh. They could do better on the prince's voice and attitude. What is he, Peter Parkour?
catapult37 @ Aug 20th 2008 3:49PM
Excellent pun! Sir, I congratulate you. Double points for the apt Peter Parker comparison.
I have to say the voice surprised me too, but I kind of like it. The art and gameplay look really unique -- I'm glad they didn't go too self-serious on the voice acting. Adds a lighter touch that I think will be welcome.
sicsided @ Aug 20th 2008 3:38PM
Yorda?
Looks interesting, hopefully will restore my faith in the series, as the first PS2 iteration was the last one i liked. The art is quite lovely.
Kassu @ Aug 20th 2008 3:46PM
Well, he sure said some worrying shit.
Shifting emphasis from awsome and flashy "Look mom, I can take on 10 monsters at once" combat to "Block, block, block, counter" 1-on-1 combat?
Highway to fail.
catapult37 @ Aug 20th 2008 3:51PM
Wrong, wrong. Switching from unengaging one-on-many combat to what appears to be deeper, strategic (hint: blocking is not lame) combat one-on-one is an improvement.
Jakka @ Aug 20th 2008 3:57PM
Right, right.
Ninja Gaiden 2 > Soul Calibur (It's -ur, STOP MISSPELLING YOU MORONS!)
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Aug 20th 2008 4:19PM
You call them morons for typing the word correctly? Yeah, the game series is called Soul Calibur. "Calibur" is also not a word.
Phillip @ Aug 20th 2008 3:52PM
Omigosh! Holy Crap! They're playing... the exact same part of the game they showed at E3.
...wait, how was this spectacular again?
Asher @ Aug 20th 2008 4:04PM
Looks okay. I really liked the first one, but barely played the other two. The whole co-op jump thing looks kinda weird and the blocking animation looks lame as well, but I guess they have time to fix it.... hopefully.
J @ Aug 20th 2008 4:34PM
I didn't know that MST3K was putting out a game!!?!
Oh... :(
gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 20th 2008 5:10PM
say what???
bouille @ Aug 20th 2008 6:02PM
First: Dude get AWAY from the screen!
Second: Where's my rewind time?
Third: WTF!? Is the prince now some kind of actor out of a pop-aolescent movie?
Superstar90 @ Aug 20th 2008 7:10PM
That game is so a must buy... looks amazing.
LuckyEMS @ Aug 20th 2008 8:04PM
i think im done with the Prince of Persia series now
Immortal Technique PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Aug 20th 2008 8:46PM
agreed, this looks dumb and unexciting.
Roto13 @ Aug 20th 2008 11:49PM
Wow, this game is totally Okami. That means it'll be awesome but sell like four copies, further strengthening my disdain for gamers.
I need a drink.
nima @ Aug 21st 2008 5:25PM
anyone else think this age confirmation thing is pointless & annoying? like seriously, someone 10-18 isn't going to put that they're 22?
Indigeek @ Sep 2nd 2008 3:22PM
Aww, look at the pretty butterflies! Gah! From the first trailer, I was expecting Assassin's Creed graphics with DMC4-combat. Instead what we have here is Prince of Persia: Twilight Princess. Way too lame to be called "next-gen".
