MUST SEE: Prince of Persia 4 Screenshots--Your Thoughts? (New updates!!)

it looks great but its not PoP4

PoP 1 was made 20 years ago, PoP1 is not Prince of Persia Sands of Time

also this one wont have anything common with PoP: Sands of Time Trilogy. only thing they share will be the hero's name and fame, Prince of Persia.

Aw well I guess we can all get used to it... And you guys really don't like the new graphic style, do you? :P the cell shading isnt that exaggerated, and it looks more bright and happy, but with enough action in it :D

well i like them. new gen doesnt mean only graphical advancement for me, it also means being bigger, more detailed games. if they can do bigger, better games by lowering graphics, so be it, i want the best gameplay.

these graphics are great enough for me.

ya I would also like to see good persian-action type music, and a longer game with more things to do, like not just run and kill, maybe even meeting people and... buying stuff? like a role playing game? :)

I hope not. I hope everythings new. What's the point of bringing stuff back. Im sure not many or no moves at all will be returning

What kind of moves do you want then? I don't think Assassin's Creed fighting ****is enough, all that was was simple counter attacks over and over again. Maybe they'll involve more magic in this game... With Elika and all. And some moves with the Prince's weird claw glove.

This may aswell be a new game. Its not really prince of persia as much anymore. With the fight system, there will be new moves. He has a gauntlet on his arm that's used in many different ways. He uses it to slide down walls, and block sword swipes. If you don't like counter attacks than this game wont be for you. it's not gonna be like Assassins Creed. But it will involve stradegy when battling an enemy. Supposedly enemies in the game will feign weakness and when you go in for the kill, they will counter attack. I think it's a neat idea with the one on one thing.

Oh so it's like a Zelda game (If you've played one before) where the bosses have a specific place for you to attack so they can die?

I just kinda want to know if this is more concept art stuff or actual in-game screenshots. If it's in-game...then wow, I'm pretty torn. bluej33

Well there are a few in-game pictures there. The concept art is probably just an idea of it, but they have a few in-game pictures. I find them sorta cool :D

Im lovin this new art direction. When is it out?Miguel16

Winter holiday I believe

stupid cell shaded graphs! I wish they made them just like Assassin's Creed, that would be perfectIC3_C0LD_ZERO

Heheh yea but they're not that noticable, especially when the pictures aren't as zoomed out. Have you seen the trailer? it's pretty awesome! And these are mostly just concept art, and it's not 100% sure yet, so it could change.

[QUOTE="amirbrandon"]

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"]While I am a huge Prince of Persia fan, so I will automatically give this game the benefit of the doubt, the art direction will have to grow on me. Its sort of like Nintendo going from the look of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask to the Windwaker, it will just take some time to get use to. Though I'm not so sure about the whole partner thing, I really need to see some gameplay to make a call on that, but right now, I'm not to high on it.Sepewrath

What do you mean you're not sure about the "partner thing"? Didn't the Prince have Farah in Sands of Time and The Two Thrones?

Yeah but that was temporary, I can deal with that no problem, this girl is apparently there the whole time, I mean every jump, every fight, she's always there. Farah was never around like that.

i agree with sepewrath on the the partner issue. it would be fine if she were like farah and she'd be there for a short while and then leave and i also agree with you on the art style but i'll wait until i see it in motion before passing judgement.

still i'm pretty excited for the game

I don't know, I kind of like the whole partner being with you most of the time. I think it will add to the storyline. Instead of just inner battles with the main character.nightshade536

Yeah I suppose... But it would be sort of weird with someone following you for the whole thing. It would be called "Prince and Princess of Persia" :P lol

It looks great nevertheless, but I still perfer a more "photo-realistic" looks rather than the cellshaded look. Still looks great IMO.jjgamer03

Hate to say it without getting cut up. But I like that look sometimes. No I did not like 13 "or whatever that game was. But I liked Zelda Wind Waker. In fact I really! liked that look. I liked Okami also. And I thought I was gonna hate that one.

PoP Sand of Time, was the best in the series. And it was the one with the more cartoon like characters, and world. It almost looked Dinsey like. But this art style is odd. You can tell which ones are true art, and what may be in game. But I like the style. And im not sure why more dont do it anymore.

Sands of time look below

And in a list of so many. Sands of time was maybe one of the top 5 or 10 games in all of last gen. But some have forgot about it, over the 2 sequels.

intersting choice of art style... i'm still undecided about it. i'll have to see it in action..americahellyeah

You make a great point :D

I have some more info for you guys, and it's something you'd wana hear!! :D

There is a detailed interview of Ben Mattes conducted by GameTrailers at Ubidays.

I am quite happy with the way the information is being portrayed. He says that The Character in Next--GEN POP is not The Prince Of Persia. It is A Prince of Persia. Prince Of Persia is a fantasy Universe with many Princes.

Further, he says that the Prince is an adventurer and wanderer and He just comes from his previous adventure and suddenly a sands storm appears and after that world gets changed. Now the Prince has to Heal the world by taking a route of the infected areas.

One very interesting thing is that The Player has a choice to choose the World Structure he/she wants to heal. The Choosen WOrld Structure will affect the Storyline.

Thats a Great Addition. Now We will have to see what will it look like in actual implementation

HERE is parts 1 and 2 of this interesting interview... It explains a LOT of your questions! It's a really good watch, you guys would be missing out if you didnt watch these. I'll put them on the front page as well so newcomers to this thread will see it too. Check it out!!

It says you have a choice of how to explore the world... Which is pretty awesome, because in the alst Prince of Persias, there's only one path for you to go to, but now I guess you have more option and more opportunities like in Assassin's creed, which is awesome!
