Prince of Persia: The Fallen King DS

 

Ubisoft has unveiled a brand new Prince of Persia game for DS that's scheduled to hit the handheld console by Christmas this year.

 

Subtitled The Fallen King, the new game uses the stylus controls to "deliver the extraordinary acrobatic and combat action" of the franchise, according to the developer.

 

While the story and scenario will be different to the upcoming Xbox 360 / PS3 game, some of the gameplay mechanics sound similar.

 

In The Fallen King, the Prince will meet new character Magnus, who players must take control of at times to fight, solve puzzles and explore.

 

It all sounds good, but we're not sold yet on the screenshots and concept art. We feel a little like we did when we first saw The Wind Waker's cell shading. It's not bad looking by any stretch of the imagination, just different, a bit like the new game coming for consoles.

 

Early days yet though, so we'll hold off until we see more shots from the game until we pass judgement.

Woo hoo :dance2:

^^ The gameloft stuff? Each of them looks the exact same. SOT and WW on the mobile were the same, similar to Assassins Creed mobile. And Ubi is actually putting in money behind this one!

First Prince of Persia movie pics surface

Having already bulked up once for 2005 's Jarhead, Jake Gyllenhaal has apparently hit the weights again for Disney's upcoming Prince of Perisa film. Celebrity-celebrating site JustJared.com has posted pictures of Gyllenhaal in Morocco on the set of the film, and the actor has matched--if not surpassed--the buff body reshaping he underwent to transform from his usual lean nerd form (as seen in Bubble Boy and Zodiac) to his marine character in Jarhead.

 

According to JustJared, the actor is in the North African nation taking in the sights with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon (who apparently did not have to radically reshape her body to get a role in an upcoming romantic comedy with Vince Vaughn). Although the candid pics aren't from scenes in the film, they do show Gyllenhaal in his costume (or lack thereof) for the role of Prince Dastan for the first time.

 

The Prince of Persia will also star Gemma Arterton ( Quantum of Solace, Three and Out), Ben Kingsley (Sexy Beast , BloodRayne), and Alfred Molina (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Spider-Man 2). As Dastan, Gyllenhaal will attempt to prevent a nefarious nobleman from obtaining the continuum-controlling Sands of Time. Arterton's character, the princess Tamina, will join him on his quest.

 

Filming began late last month, and will move to London by the project's end. The Prince of Persia is currently set for release Memorial Day weekend of 2010.

GC 2008: Prince of Persia Updated Impressions

GameSpot

 

The prince makes an appearance in Leipzig and we checked out how the game is shaping up.

 

There has been some promising builds of Ubisoft’s reinvented prince at Ubidays and E3, and at Leipzig he was back for another appearance. We saw the same level that was on show at E3 2008 but rather than take the same route as before, our presenter chose to take us through a different area and used it to show off a new ability.

The prince now has the ability to roof run.

 

We’ve seen the prince pull of wall runs, gap jumps, and use his hand to slide down walls before, and we were shown a new move off at Leipzig which allows him to run upside down along roves for short distances. The section we saw had a series of pillars hanging from the ceiling, interspersed with conveniently-located iron rings. By running between them the prince and Elika were able to leapfrog across a divide and move to a new area of the game.

 

Ubisoft also highlighted the compass ability Elika has, in which she’ll show you which direction you need to go if you’re unsure what to do next. Hitting the appropriate button will make her point in a specific direction, allowing you to continue on with your journey, in this case a nearby platform. We then encountered the Hunter, a formidable beast made from the corruption of evil that the prince needs to purge from the world around him. In addition to the prince’s own impressive skills, Elika is a helpful companion allowing you to pull off a variety of moves on the hunter. Once he’d been dealt enough punishment, the Hunter retreated to the healing well, which became the next objective to reach.

 

While exploring the stage, we encountered several pools of the liquid-like corruption, which will suffocate you immediately if you get to close. Thankfully Elika can come to your rescue as a sort of “rolling savepoint” that will restore you to the last safe point. Arriving at the healing ground, the Hunter turned into a corrupted mode which made it impervious to attack. Elika was directed to perform some sort of magic on it which broke the corruption barrier, making it vulnerable again. Defeating our foe, Elika activated the well in a cinematic that restored colour and life to the region, with butterflies aflutter and grass springing up to represent the healed state.

This bad boy wants to make mince meat out of you. Show him who's boss.

 

Prince of Persia will be available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC--in addition to a separate DS version--in time for the holiday season. For more on the prince’s new adventure see our previous coverage

too bad for me.. i coulodnt even finish Warrior Within.... too long.... and im yet to play the Two Thrones.. and now a new one is coming out.. what im gonna do? :mellow:

 

Play TT absolutely, you can give WW a miss completely. TT is a polished mix of SOT and WW without the scruffiness. And TT is a short game - should be able to finish quickly.
