New Prince of Persia= Possibly the best action adventure game? >GOW?

Read up on the New Prince of Persia game and you'll be impressed. Article

Its built upon the assassin's creed engine. You can bet on amazing graphics, fluid movement, great animation.

One on One combat. This game is combat focused and so the enemies you encounter will have unique fighting capabilities. Enemies will challenge you, none of banality of killing a thousand generic enemies GOW gameplay. Every single fight feels like a boss battle.

'To encourage gamers to use all four buttons, each enemy you face can assume three corruption states. The states offer a colored tint to the corruption surrounding the enemy along with a distinct look. Each state has a specific weakness -- a sword attack, gauntlet strike, or Elika's magic. At first, it's pretty easy to counter the states, but as the Hunter becomes more powerful, he'll quickly change states while you're in the middle of an attack string. If you don't recognize the state immediately, you could be in for some trouble.' IGN

Looks to me that Prince of Persia will feature very advance combat that will keep even hardcore NGII fans pleased. A deep combat system is always a plus in an action game, Prince of Persia is really trying to innovate this aspect.

Single player has a co-op feel, Elika is the archetype sidekick, hot chick you want by yourside when facing foes. She helps you tackle foes and enable you to unleash aerial combos and advance finishers.

RPG elements to a action game. Both the Prince and Elika are upgradable. How you upgrade these characters will change story progression.

Multiple campaign path, shows complex story design, add more suprise and dynamics to gameplay.

'So while there is the somewhat typical game convention of limiting your access to certain areas, you still have the choice of which you play first. And the choices you make do matter. Each boss will release a different corruption trap into the world that will remain for the rest of play. These releases are tied to specific levels. You could avoid these levels until near the end of the game, making the acrobatic elements fairly easy, or tackle them early to add acrobatic challenge. The same level you clear at the start of the game will be quite a different experience for a friend who saves it until the end, after all of the corruption has infested the area.' IGN

Beautiful Artistic World and Animation

I think this game has huge potential to be the best action game to date. I am very hyped for this game mainly because it seems to offers a different experience from GOW and other past games of the genre. This is not to say that past games of this sort were bad at all. GOW offered one of the best carnage action game of its days.

But I do think that taking the genre into a new direction could warrent POP into a blockbuster. Because its innovative in including co-op elements, grand in concept and artistry, its adding to just having the carnage experience. Because of the in depth combat system, it will attract both casual and hardcore crowds and offer more chances to be creative with fighting ****, a good point taken from Devil may Cry 4.

We wont see how gameplay will actually turn out. But from the looks of the video, and everything we've been reading about PoP, there is a reason to be hyped for this game.

The last point is that God War III should definately learn from this game if it wishes to be the next blockbuster for PS3. We've yet to see anything from GOW III and fanboys been repping it as the next great game already. If people are willing to talk about a game without any footage, then we can definately speculate about how PoP will turn out.

TC, the GOW series is an AAA series, this is a joke. Maybe once it's out, and it does incredibly well, I would believe you...but at this point, I'm feeling you are a UBISOFT employee.

Don't worry, PoP is a good series, but doesn't hold a candle to the amazing GoW series.

Multiplat?

Really?MerisYaki

um sorry but multiplat doesnt mean that the game cant be bloody awesome

Im talking about gameplay only. it seems to me that this new prince of persia game is innovating is core gameplay. Will GOW III have to do the same to be the blockbuster hit it once was? I dont know, but it'll need to pull something out of its hat.

while i'm sure both games will do well, review wise, GOW 2 will do better. That said, aside from both being third person, i don't think this is a good comparison. While they're both "action" games, GOW is a third person shooter and Prince is not. Prince is a third person game with lots of close combat and platforming. You can't even jump in Gears. this is just a bad, bad comparison. Two very different games and both will be great at what they do.Paladin_King

GOW is god of war

GeOW is gears of war.

Im comparing God of war and Prince. If you would, notice what other people have been talking about.

GOW is God of War, God of War was here First, and it's a fantastic series, just like GeoW. GeoW is Gears of War.

They say that, but until we play it, they will say what they have to to sell it. It sounds nice on paper, and I can't wait to try it, but I'm not going to take some Ubisoft PR and say it's better than a AAA Franchise like GOW.

GOW doesn't need to pull anything out of it's hat it's out and it made it's mark. The big hurdle was GOW2, and that did Just fine.

He's comparing Ubisoft words to sell their game with a AAA ranked series. His claim, that the NEW POP, while completely unplayed by any of us, is better than GOW.

This thread would have some more relevance once the game is out, or reviewed...right now it's just promotional adverts that he's using to propell POP to GOW killer status.

Ha, that's funny. If you read my entire post, I said the same thing, but with less words.

Also, when did we start talking GOW3?

but yeah you're right. we should wait a bit more untill the game is reviewed and we get to play it first hand.

my point is we know NOTHING about GOW3 yet. just a teaser. We have seen tons of PoP footage allready. just saying GOW beeing a AAA franshise means nothing. They could screw everything up in GOW3 for all we know.

No, not better than GOW. Kratos would rip this Prince guy to shreds. If this turns out to be good I may get it instead of LBP.Floppy_Jim

We're not talking about who would win in a fight, we're not 11 years old. I can't wait for the new PoP game, but will it be better then GoW 3? That remains to be seen, but probably not when looking at their average scores

Notice the question mark in the thread title >GOW? Its meant to get people to discuss this comparison.

GOW is a great title. But Im very hyped for the direction this game is taking the genre. More 1vs1 fights with in depth combat. Its like Devil May Cry, but without the annoying cameras.

I talked about GOW3 in the OP if you read carefully. I specifically said, that GOW III should learn from this game, not whether this game will be greater than GOW III.

Yeah, we know almost nothing about GOW3, but he said GOW, and I always was talking the GOW series.

I think POP will be good, and it has a chance at being great, but killing off GOW (I haven't even brought up GOW3), that's a bit crazy.

That's like the original KillZone Halo Killer threads from back in the day.

I think once we actually are playing it for ourselves, or at least read some critics reviews, then we can start the talk of GOW killer (Maybe evne GOW3 Killer!).

At this point, Ubisoft just trying to hype their game and sell it, which is fine. I'm interested.

I never said anything about KILLING GOW, it said that it has the potential to be greater than GOW based on gameplay mechanics weve seen from the game so far. Thats the point of this thread. How much do you love the new PoP mechanics, do you think its innovative, What do you think about the gameplay so far, etc. In comparison with GOW is a natural topic because this game does pit itself against the best in the series. I'll love to see this game get a higher score than GOWII just so GOWIII have something to work for.

Although you can say its impossible to compare because PoP havent been out yet, you can compare what you've seen from the game, its obviously speculation rather than hard facts that PoP is > GoW.

single fight PoP vs multiple carnage in GOW

Fighting Mechanics PoP vs Fighting Mechanics in GoW

stuff like that should be easy to talk about.

a well written post

SolidTy

pretty much

you're no fun man:P

I'm most likely getting this on release.

I'm surprised by the little hype it's getting.

its looks very good and has taken a good turn with the franchise im loving the new style and gameplay. looks much more deep than before.

def get this one

The only thing I don't like about the new PoP game is that you can't die. The enemies just gain health back if you get hit or miss a move. and if you are about to fall to your death, Elika will just save you and put you back on track. Other than that, the game is a wonder to look at. Hopefully that design choice doesn't keep this game from being great.mazdero

I would think it makes gameplay better. I think its pretty stupid to start from the last checkpoint because you fell off a ledge. I just hope that when you die in combat and you revive, the enemies's health regenerates too.

i must admit the game looks beutiful but i really can't see myself buying it because i;'m not a huge fan of cel shaded games but who knows i might change my mind once the game is released.

Many a people have claimed to topple God of War...and all have failed. Even right now God of War is higher rated than the "almighty" Ninja Gaiden. When I put up the averages of all Ninja Gaiden games and all God of War games NG fanboys used the claim "You cant count NG: Sigma! Its just a remake!" Well, now you have a proper sequel, NG2, and anyway you wanna slice it or dice it, GoW is the higher rated series and currently the action adventure king.

God of War Series:

God of War: 93.5%

God of War 2: 92.7%

God of War 3: 91.4%

Look at those ratings and then look at PoP's ratings, then proceed to rethink your claims. God of War is currently in the "Untouchable" zone of Action Adventure gamesand I highly doubt that if DMC and NG couldnt change that that PoP will be able. The only way your claims could be true is if Sony decided to let Uwe Boll try his hand at gaming or sumthing like that :?

Yay, this game needs some hype here. :D

Love the look and feel of the stuff I've seen thus far and the game is on my to buy list for 2008 and I'm thinking this game is full of win.

This game is so full of win it seems but not much hype ? Sleeper of the year confirmed. :D

That's some of the best art direction I've seen this gen :shock: . Captures the sty1e of fantasy beautifully.

Ubisoft Montreal are undoubtedly my most favourite devs, and arguably one of the greatest of all time. They're definitely the most versatile though, just look at their bloody resume. How many devs can say that they've churned out quality titles of immense variation?

POP... won't touch GOW1. POP was never that good to begin with, by deviating from the POP formula the have actually gone down the wrong direction. they should have just made a new IP. Whts the point in even calling this POP, when nearly all the elements are different, or barely even similar.

God of war 3.. 1080p,60fps,co-op> New IP with the POP franchise name slapped on to it.

while i'm sure both games will do well, review wise, GOW 2 will do better. That said, aside from both being third person, i don't think this is a good comparison. While they're both "action" games, GOW is a third person shooter and Prince is not. Prince is a third person game with lots of close combat and platforming.

Have you ever played the original POP? Its okay if you think the original sucked, i wont call you crazy yet, reviewer will. But if the original sucked in your opinion, isnt much better that they're stepping away from the original formula. But in your words, this makes the game worse. Now your crazy.

I disagree that God of War is this infalliable game that no one could hold a candle to. It had a good story and fun gameplay. If you think about it, it followed a very simple formula, give the player alot of opportunity to kick ass. The new Pop is doing this and adding another dimension to it. So Im not going to say anything about GOWIII since we dont know squat about that game. But if it follows through on what we've seen so far. It will be better than GOWII.

Looking forward to this game alot. I really loved the series last gen.

However, I'm really looking forward to GoW III. And no I don't think neither will be better than NG II. It's still the best action game imo.

you just ruined a good thread making fanboyish statments (>GOW)

but I am super hyped for PoP

Im talking about gameplay only. it seems to me that this new prince of persia game is innovating is core gameplay. Will GOW III have to do the same to be the blockbuster hit it once was? I dont know, but it'll need to pull something out of its hat.

well at least we know it'll be better than ng2 that's for sure as for gow we'll have to WAIT and see

I have played all the God Of War games, including Chains of Olympus, and I much prefer the gameplay of the PoP trilogy. I think the new Prince of Persia game will step into new territory and incorporate new gameplay elements while GOW3 will be another rehash of GOW1.

This is me playing God of War "circle, circle, circle, triangle, trianle, square, sqaure, circle, square, circle, trianlge" Jezus that game is simplistic!

I thought GoW series was an action game like Ninja Gaiden with extremely mild platforming thrown in and PoP series is a platform game with mild combat elements thrown in. The strong points of one are either completely missing from the other or are really gimped.

I think comparing the two is like comparing a old school Sonic game to an old school RPG and being like, "they both have sprites and you fight opponents... same genre."

Not if they're using the Nathan Drake guy's voice for the prince's character..Khoaki

and i thought the voice actor for nathan was pretty good. wasnt too serious and wasnt too cheesy
