This new instalment in the critically-acclaimed franchise marks the return to the Prince of Persia® Sands of Time storyline. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands™ will feature many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand. http://www.vg247.com/2009/11/30/prince-of-persia-the-forgotten-sands-announced-for-may-2010-launch/#more-69622 (http://www.vg247.com/2009/11/30/prince-of-persia-the-forgotten-sands-announced-for-may-2010-launch/#more-69622) Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Μarkham on November 30, 2009, 02:07:01 PM I hate it when I forget my sand.
Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: fish on November 30, 2009, 02:11:57 PM marks the return to the Prince of Persia® Sands of Time storyline after ONE GAME.
is this the one with jordan mechner on board as a designer? Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Shade Jackrabbit on November 30, 2009, 02:26:05 PM I love how they say "Yeah we're bringing the brand new gameplay innovations from our new well-respected brand that consists of like one game."
And are they talking about sidescrolling 2d graphics? Cause that's totally what "original series" means to me. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Tanner on November 30, 2009, 02:27:45 PM they're talking about the mostly pretty good 3d series that started with sands of time. (which is one of the best games of the last generation btw)

Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: team_q on November 30, 2009, 02:30:26 PM But unlike Braid, their time potion runs out.

(which is one of the best games of the last generation btw) I know that, but I'm saying it's a bit shady to call it the "original" series, and even shadier to say "brand" when they're referring to one game. And yeah, Sands of Time was pretty good. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: fish on November 30, 2009, 02:33:04 PM fun fact: ubisoft's modus operandi for sands of time was "make it like ICO."
apparently the game was always being played and analysed. ico was the game to beat. in that respect IT WAS A FAILURE. but yeah, that was great game. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: gunswordfist on November 30, 2009, 02:56:48 PM I hate it when I forget my sand. Yeah, where would Dale Gribble be without his sand? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_jz7P1E54E (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_jz7P1E54E)Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Melly on November 30, 2009, 02:59:29 PM Predictable. Though I still have to play the latest PoP. Honestly, I think one of the problems was calling it just Prince of Persia. I dunno, felt kinda cocky.

Another fun fact: Ico was influenced by the original Prince Of Persia.apparently the game was always being played and analysed. ico was the game to beat. in that respect IT WAS A FAILURE. but yeah, that was great game. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: C.A. Silbereisen on November 30, 2009, 03:09:38 PM I hope returning to the Sands of Time storyline doesn't mean they'll make the game all "badass" and juvenile like Warrior Within. Though I somehow suspect it does. :concerned:
Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: azeo on November 30, 2009, 06:08:00 PM Man, I liked the new prince of persia. Hope they do a sequal.
Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: handCraftedRadio on November 30, 2009, 06:09:48 PM The artwork for the new Prince of Persia was awesome, but I thought the gameplay was kind of weak. And by 'kind of weak' I mean terrible.
Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: PGGB on December 01, 2009, 03:18:29 AM I still like the classic PoP games more. :-\
Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Don Andy on December 01, 2009, 03:19:28 AM Is that gonna be a sequel to that new PoP game? Because I liked that one.

Nope. They are somehow going to bring Sands Of Time back... :-\Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: C.A. Silbereisen on December 01, 2009, 08:49:54 AM The new PoP had great graphics and fundamentally solid gameplay that was marred by some seriously bad design decisions (namely utter lack of challenge).
Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: c-foo peng on December 01, 2009, 08:54:06 AM I really didn't like the last Prince of Persia. The entire game felt like Parappa the Platformer, never really got a feeling that I was controller the character. But maybe that's just because of the emphasis got put on animation over everything else, which is kinda Prince of Persia to it's core.
Also ridiculously lenient move queuing. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: jrjellybeans on December 01, 2009, 10:49:43 AM I only played the first PoP - Sands of Time. I thought it was ridiculously easy and the combat was rather weak.
It reminded me a lot of Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain, which was a much better game with most of the same problems. But, a PoP on the handheld might not be so bad... Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: deadeye on December 01, 2009, 11:51:10 AM I hope the prince has a sassy attitude and some awesome goth tattoos in this one, and maybe a kickin' metal soundtrack to please the kiddies.
Kids like heavy metal, right? Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Don Andy on December 01, 2009, 11:52:42 AM Is that gonna be a sequel to that new PoP game?

Kids like heavy metal, right? Actually, now it's screamo. Crawwwwwllliiing iiiinnnn my skiiiiiin... Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: team_q on December 01, 2009, 01:25:57 PM Lincoln Park isn't Screamo, it's nu metal its most pure form.
This is what the kids (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5886Nb_psg#t=2m25s) like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8F5YSA1Oz0). Take 3-5 completely different types of music and have them run right into each other, sell the mess what results. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Shade Jackrabbit on December 01, 2009, 01:35:30 PM Lincoln Park isn't Screamo, it's nu metal its most pure form. Oh, right, my mistake. I keep mixing up genre names. Quote like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8F5YSA1Oz0). ow fuck why did you link that again oh god I think my ears are bleeding from being sodomized by pop-techno-rap-trance-punk-trash Quote Take 3-5 completely different types of music and have them run right into each other, sell the mess what results. The method isn't intrinsically bad, at least not when done with finesse. I mean, combining genres produces really awesome stuff. How about that 8-bit Weezer Tribute? Chiptune-rock. Awesome.

How about that 8-bit Weezer Tribute? Chiptune-rock. Awesome. How is 8-bit a genre? It really just limits the instruments you can use. :) Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Shade Jackrabbit on December 01, 2009, 03:01:43 PM And that's a pretty big divisor.
Take for example the difference between instrumental classical music, and choral classical music. True, they both are "classical" music, but I'd say they count as subgenres. At some point though, one does have to stop paying attention to genres and just sort of go with whatever's good, because there's just too many possible combinations. But for the sake of classification we put things in genres, and I'd say "chiptunes" is different enough from other types of music that it deserves a mention when organizing tracks. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: gunswordfist on February 02, 2010, 11:40:43 AM The new PoP had great graphics and fundamentally solid gameplay that was marred by some seriously bad design decisions (namely utter lack of challenge). I just beat the game and I wouldn't have minded the lack of challenge if they did it right. Meaning, if the combat was so flawed, I wouldn't mind being able to not die. With that said, I say that PoP has the best 3D platforming I've ever played.Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: JamesGecko on February 02, 2010, 12:01:30 PM The new PoP had great graphics and fundamentally solid gameplay that was marred by some seriously bad design decisions (namely utter lack of challenge).

I mean, it's a lot of fun, but the character doesn't feel as responsive or the movement as visceral as in, say, Rayman 2 or a Mario game.

Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: Melly on February 03, 2010, 09:27:11 AM I personally have no problem with frequent checkpoints. Far away checkpoints are not what creates real challenge. They simply force you to retread ground you already covered and conquered.
Bayonetta is a game that can be fairly balls-bustingly hard, especially in higher difficulties, but still has very frequent checkpoints, even several within bossfights (which tend to be long enough to warrant their own separate chapters). It just makes sure your accomplishments of getting through each challenge are not nullified. Title: Re: UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Post by: gunswordfist on February 03, 2010, 09:32:20 AM Yeah, I don't mind frequent checkpoints either. I actually prefer those to being able to save anywhere.
