Why No Love for the Prince?

Why havnt I heard anything about the new Prince of Persia, I mean theres no hype! Am I the only one wanting it or what? All Ive heard is the gears fanboys saying GEARS-GOTY! blah blah blah. I know theres alot of good games comming out this holiday season and I think this includes Prince of Persia. I think this game will be something freash to play.(I love FPS but enoughs enough) A freash twist in the graphics department going with "illustrative" and the new combat system loks awesome....and then theres Elika. Why no love? Is it just me or do you feel theres no attention to this game?

Don't worry wait till Gears of War 2 is out. Then we will hear all the hype for Price of Persia, Banjo Kazooie, and Last Remnant. However I think PoP is the only one guarantied to be AAA of those three.

They are going with a new style for a couple of reasons. First they know Gamespot, IGN, and all the other companies with give them a mediocre score and say it's more of the same if they don't change it up a bit. Not to mentionthe avid fans who follow games will tear it apart and won't touch it either; apparently only Sonic games can get away with churning out fodder.

The reason why they are going with the new look, my opinion, despite their valiant effort in the Two Thrones the stench of Warrior Within still lingers over the franchise as a whole. They are trying to distance themselves from prince who sounds like a chain-smoking, pissed off, prat. Cell-shading is a, under-appreciated, good start.

comes out in December, it's only September... time lapse!grafkhun

Guys, it's not the graphics that count, it's the gameplay, it's The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker all over again.mitu123

Graphics are a large part of immersion. Immersion makes the game better.

I don't like how they've changed it. I mean, for everything that is good, why a cartoon style?! Why not the same style as in Two Thrones?stappy

idk man i was wondering the same thing. i for one will keep an eye on it. but if it stinks then i wont get simple as that. its not the same prince i loved playing as so hardly care atm.

I think theyre trying to seperate their game from the standard action/adventure game

There is something about the lack of a gameover screen that really bothers me. I enjoyed the series on the ps2... I just don't like the direction there going with it.Childeater10

It might eliminate frustration, but your right it is supposed to be a challenge.

the developer of PoP said on talking about AC.. "They can have thier game, and we will have ours." he also mentioned a possible sequel to AC.saying they both have thier respected positions.

It's released this year? OMG! I MIGHT NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY! SO MANY GREAT GAMES ARRRRGH!

But I'm holding my money on this one, I won't comment until reviews come, the game looks great, but I have a lot of questions unanswered...

I'll tell you why all the hate (even though I feel that it's a franchise that is more adored then hated; nor do I hate it myself really).I played two editions of the Price of Persia before and began to feel the franchise wearing thin. Those were the Sand of Time (which was a charming story with what seemed to be amazing game play at the time) and the Warrior Within (which unfortunately took the franchise in a dark direction that made you think, "Why the **** must ever game have such extreme marketing?". I suppose the most logical explain for this is that it was an attempt on Ubisoft's part to attract more mature gamers in hopes that they would sell more games(an idea so prominent in gaming today).

On top of it all, the gimmick of reversing time grew kind of boring in the second game having competed Sands. There are so many games out on the market today that allow you to play with time (while maybe not reversing time; no one can deny the inclusion of bullet time in games likeMax Payne, FEAR, and even asfar back as the second Spyro game). The fight system of the game isn't as nearly as complex as let's say a God Of War (although comparing them is kind of unfair) and even when I heard you play as multiple characters in the 3rd game(Which obviously means more fighting **** in the game) I didn't feel like spending money on it. I felt like I had experienced most of what the franchise had to offer.
