Prince of Persia should be delayed / or renamed

Yes, this is an OT topic, since it's based on politics, and not really the gameplay itself.

I think it's bad taste to be releasing a game called "Prince of Persia", when we are pretty much at war with Iran. It doesn't make sense that they should be selling kids a game, where you pretty much play a terrorist. You may not do terrorist acts, but you do play a Persian.

It's like if they released a game called "The Reich" during WWII. Do you think that's acceptable?

They should either rename the game or delay it forever. Why not rename anyways? It's a new game?

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]no offense but you just came off really stupid and ignorant. You basically just said all Persians/Iranians, people from that area are terrorists and that is competely wrong. To add, it takes place hundreds of years before what the country is now,.billbucker

Have you seen 300? They havn't changed.

I know that 300 is fictional, but it's still pretty much how it was.

....romans, british, french, chinese...all had there days on conquering, doesnt mean anything.

Persians=/=Terrorists. The ignorance in this thread is astounding.

All of your points are completely wrong. How is playing a prince from a civilizations hundreds of years ago anything relevant to today? Also, you are basically saying that all Iranians are terrorists, which is completly baseless. So, in short, it should not be delayed.

That argument is complteley stupid.

1. The game isn't even in the same time period
2. It is no where closely related to what is happening over there right now.
3. What are they gonna do about the PoP games that are already out, and people are playing.

Reasons can go on, and on. This argument is retarted and ignorant.

That is truly the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile. Definitely Fox News worthy..Darth_Tyrev

I can see it now...headline: New film "Prince of Persia" pro-terrorists, more on this by Bill O'Reily when we get back....

you should really get you're fact's in order before making a thread like this.lawlessx

And then hopefully, decide not to make it at all.

Just goes to show you how many ignorant people there are in the world.

Look, I'm not trying to be racist. I know now all Iranians are terrorists. I also know not all Muslims are terrorists. But, all terrorists are pretty much Muslim. Plus, we are probably going to be at war with Iran... so why would you want to play a Muslim dude who's Iranian :|

This is the same problem I had with Assasin's Creed. You play Altair... a Muslim, who kills the 'infidels'. It's ridiculous. It's almost like Ubisoft is sympathetic to the middle east.

Who cares, its a GAME.
Do you honestly think that a game is gonna change the course of history?
I'd rather enjoy a fun game now, then be stuck playing games that are not fun at all :|

And i still find your post completley ignorant

At the beginning of the game Ubisoft clearly stated that the game was developed by a team of varied religious beliefs.

your just like jesse jackson who wants to ban Resident Evil 5 cause you only kill black ZOMBIES in the CONGO its not like there are white people to become ZOMBIES in the CONGO. you probably wanna cut Obama's nuts off tooFUBAR24

OK, yes he does. There are plenty of references that show Altair is Muslim. There was even an interview where they say they scaled it back, because it would be obvious, and people owuldn't buy it.

The "muslim" templars, if you notice, are shown to be fake Muslims... like the fat dude with all the prostitutes. While the Chrisitan people are supposed to be real Christians.

Even if some of the templars are Muslim, none of them are very good Muslims. That doesn't mean that they're "fake" though.

I know not all Muslims are bad. There are many friends of mine who are Muslim, and they don't even pray 5 times a day, or any radical stuff. Plus, most of all, they are nice to me -- and I'm Jewish! So I know they aren't all bad. I was just clarifying what MoldOnHold was saying.

you have no idea what your talking about.have you ever heard of Holocaust Tycoon or that one game were you got to be Lee Harvy Oswald and shoot John F Kennedy. those were games that were so bad in an ethical sense that they wernt allowed to see the light of day. Assassins Creed and Prince of Persia are fictional games where you play as Fictional Heroes against Fictional Enemies to bring peace to the land.

Ok how is praying 5 times a day or anything your religion requires considerd radical? If anything it sounds like they just don't take their religion seriously, kinda like most Christians do with Christianity.
