Dr.SlaveMaker Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Today, Ubisoft teased fans of its Prince of Persia series with the announcement of a brand new multi-format installment: the Forgotten Sands. Publisher Ubisoft announced the development of a brand new Prince of Persia game and to answer the question that's most certainly on your mind, no it's not a sequel to last year's PoP game. The new game is called Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and it represents a continuation of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time series. Ubisoft points out that the game is going to feature "many of the fan-favorite elements" and "new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand." The project was described as being the sort of game that appeals to both hardcore and casual gamers. "The goal is to reach both audiences, the core and casual gamers. It will be a game that will have lots of combat, with the possibility for gamers that are not as good - a level for beginners. In that sense we are trying to cover both groups," said Ubi's CEO Yves Guillemot recently. Evidently the game's storyline is intended to coincide with the release of Disney's feature film Prince of Persia. The premiere trailer for this game is expected to appear on Spike TV's Video Game Awards on Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 8 p.m. EST. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is scheduled for release on consoles and handhelds in May 2010. http://www.atomicgamer.com/http://www.actiontrip.com/rei/comments_new...tml?id=113009_6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 that pic is of disney's upcoming prince of persia movie and many sites saying that the story of the game will be related to the movie. The official ubisoft website also shows some details about the game which is enough to make me believe that the game will suck harder than a nuclear powered NASA vacuum cleaner. also the may 2010 date offers no hope. sigh... could not they have given us a good sequel ??

Bulovski Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I know about the movie and the rumours But that still does not allow Jake Gyllenhal to grace the thread of one of the best game franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 which is enough to make me believe that the game will suck harder than a nuclear powered NASA vacuum cleaner. also the may 2010 date offers no hope. sigh... could not they have given us a good sequel ?? Are you kidding me? They tried for a sequel and gave us WW. They tried again and gave us TTT (which sucked a little less than WW but thats like saying dirt tastes better than gravel). Then they tried to start again and gave us PoP (one 'o' away from Poop which is what that game was). At this point the best you can hope for is a remake of SoT. A bit harsh but f**kem. They lost the PoP plot right after SoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.SlaveMaker Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 i liked the last prince of persia game the gameplay was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 wait, u loved SoT and you want them to remake it Nope. I am saying they cant make a good game unless its an HD remake of SoT. Personally I dont want them to make anymore PoP games be it remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels, tie ins or whatever. Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 ok, got it. but i dont think they will ever stop making pop. its like mario.. man. a cash cow. the name is legendary, almost everyone has played the game (the earliest one) and that serves the motive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 ^^Yep. This has a cheap and fast cash in written all over it. Who announces a game six months before release? Unless its been developed solely for the movie. They could have farmed it out to another developer to take a fresh perspective on the series. Worked wonders for CD and TR.

Daedalus Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 ^^Yep. This has a cheap and fast cash in written all over it. Who announces a game six months before release? Unless its been developed solely for the movie. They could have farmed it out to another developer to take a fresh perspective on the series. Worked wonders for CD and TR. FYI, the last prince of persia was announced in may of 2008, again 6 months before release. sure it had its fair share of issues(rather subjective this), but nothing that couldnt be erased in time for the sequel in 2 years time. it worked with assassins creed 2 so i dont see why it cant work for the next prince of persia. and the last one was a fresh take, and not a bad one, so how many do you want? what worries me is how quickly they are releasing this game, i dont want a movie tie in. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 If it's based on the movie, the art direction will probably not be like the previous game. They'll try to make it look like the movie. But either way, Ubi has access to some really cool tech. So if nothing else you can at least expect some amazing visuals.

achilles Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 mm.. what's the studio behind this one..? Disney? so ubi mite be trying to ride along the hype train that the studio would generate and actually be making a sequel to POP. unless this sounds like nonsense... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john117 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 @Afty & Ty: Everyone has their personal fav PoP games , I played SoT and liked it , it was an excellent game with good characters , story and somewhat limited combat system. But when I played WW I was hooked to it from the get go , the combat system and dark mood made it my favorite.Whereas TT felt like a mixed bag trying to balance the Fairytale mood of SoT with Grimness of WW. As they say "Horses for courses" . :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
