I just watched the preview of the new POP game. I am psyched about the new water freezing ability and next gen graphics, but it seems like combat has taken severel steps backward since Warrior Within. I know logically it makes sense that that be the case given the timeline of events taking place in the series...but it just seems disappointing somehow. One attack button? Geez.

What do you think?

I'm mostly just disappointed in how the Prince looks. He just looks so...weird. :/

Me too, especially with their damn cliffhanger endings. But the platforming looks good, but the combat certainly seems to have taking a step down from the SoT trilogy. And the lack of sand powers does not help.

Oh god, POP 2008 was the most horrible game Ive played, beside for Cod.

The new one looks great, Ive been waiting for a good 3d Platformer.

Cautiously skeptical. Every game past the first one didn't feel so hot to me, the current gen reboot showed a lot of promise though.

Looks rushed. Besides Assassin's Creed 2.. most Ubisoft feels rushed and rehashed lately. I mean what's going on.. Ubi!

I'm a huge PoP fan, so I'm really pumped a new one is coming out. I think it looks like it will be great.

I would also love a sequel to PoP '08.

I dont think it'll create the same magic that the First POP did... none of them have been able to so far, and yaa i hate the way the Prince looks, just weird and ugly for a game character, not the same naive yet charming prince we knew... DISappointed so far, but hoping it proves me wrong.

more than anything else,powers seem dissapointing..i was expecting something incredibly mind bending, something totally new and creative, and all they come up with is freezing water?jeez. i dont know how i feel about the old proce coming back,though. i like the prince in 2008, but i still can't seem to make up my mind. maybe they shouldve tried making powers rpgish. i want to see a prince of persia free roam before i die, with loads of weapons and powers and npcs and things to do. not an assassin's creed 3 though, a PRINCE free roam.

what is one grain of sand in the desert?

This is the pessimist in me talking, but i kind of get the impression that this new one is just a tie-in to the PoP movie that's coming out. Regardless, i'm fairly disappointed with how it looks now.

excited actually which is werid considering I like the prince of persia gameplay but I don't like the GOW3 gameplay at all maybe its the story I like thats why I favor POP over GOW3. prince saving the day seems more better to me then a person who wants revenge killing the gods...just me.

after the sands had been overdone, they did try something new in prince 2008..a prince sequel in which you return to the old prince..i would still expect new stuff. we're moving into another era now-games look amazing, and concepts are getting better and better. is it too much to expect from ubi to have something new and dynamic, that totally adds another character to the prince style gameplay instead of something that feels like an expansion pack to the two thrones?

Well it is.... kinda.... it is being put out along side the movie(well a week earlier) but it has nothing to do with the movie. Gives the impression that Ubisoft is just rushing it out.

Couldn't care any less about it then I do now. The last Prince of Persia game held enough disappointment for a generations worth of facepalms, so I will be skipping this one.

Well I am not hyped at all, I don't care about PoP at all any longer. I played the first one and lost interest after that.

After the disappointment of the POP 2008 game, I can't really muster up any enthusiasm for this game. If it gets good reviews and good word of mouth, I may consider picking it up when it hits $20 or lower price. That 2008 game was just so horrendous it's hard for me to even want to play a POP game again. Which is a shame because I really loved the Sands of Time trilogy. It just goes to show how one bad game can really ruin a franchise.

I liked the 2008 Prince of Persia and the first Sands of Time Prince. Since this new game doesn't seem like either, I am skeptic about it.

Disappointed, but they're not really coming out with any platformers.

So I'm apathetic.

I am very exited for this game. I am a big fan of "The sands of Time" trilogy and I was looking forward to a sequel... Also, the PoP 2008 was one of the worst games I hane ever seen...

I really wanted to like this series, but had never played one for whatever reason until the last game, and honestly I did not like it at all and stopped playing it after an hour and traded it in, so I won't be buying this new one any way.

Well yeah, for one... it was all about the sands of time, not elements. I'm sure there's more they could have done with it, but...

I was very hyped when I first heard about the return to the Sands Of Time trilogy, but for some reason with every new video being released I'm feeling more and more disappointed. Just something about it rubs me the wrong way.

Im not really interested in this title. The series for me has been going downhill, that last prince of persia game was awful if i recall correctly.

Wow, never knew so many people disliked the previous game. I don't know I'm rather excited about this game. I guess I'm the odd man out in saying that the two sequels after Sands of Time were better in my opinion. And I don't see how this game looks 'awful,' I just think everyone expecting it to look like another Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2.
