that's a very good trailer, but i dunno

i like the lighthearted attitude behind the first game

never bothered with the other heavy metal dudeprince games

i don't know if i like the emo scarf guy, and i dunno about one on one fighting

After seeing the gameplay demo, I don't think the combat will be very good.

A PoP game with no combat would be awesome.

they seem to have done a great job of capturing the epic/timeless fairy tale feel they were going for

I give it 1001 Tails of Scheherazade

i loved it up until the fighting, then i was like "oh."

but that little bit where he helped the princess hop up to the ledge was awesome, hope the game is mostly that type of stuff and less circling around one enemy chipping away at them for five minutes

Ubisoft is a tough nut to crack....

...and then they do tom clancy...

They are doing Beyond Good and Evil 2.  They can do whatever the fuck they want.

I don't mind that Ubi engage in producing some shit, because they also have an absolute ton of awesome looking games coming.  Like this.

I'm pretty sure there is a strong correlation between the two...

but you'd think they'd at least be a little creative even with their clancy games. i mean the military guys have to be a bit bored.

actually, maybe they do do that then. like with conviction. :(

R6V is the only Rainbow Six game I've ever liked.

I think that makes me a console gaming 'tard.

Ico?

This seems to be the total opposite from a slow-moving baby-sitting game.

You're not babysitting Eleka and Eleka can't die - she enhances what you can do.  Also, the movement over ledges and obstacles if super-fast (I LOVE this).

Also the combat looks FUCKING INCREDIBLE.

Edit: Crushed, can you at least spoiler that shit so it doesn't take up so much room.  Nobody's interested.

Edit 2: Nevermind, I just remembered another way to get rid of the posts.

The combat doesn't look interesting and just looks like it will take too long to kill this enemy.  I mean, the best part of PoP3 last gen was that you could kill enemies in one hit so you can get back to the fun platforming.  Other than that I think this game looks phenomenal.

I do like the idea of one on one combat only, but all that depends on the depth it will provide.
Title: Re: Absolutely stunning new Prince of Persia video
Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 15, 2008, 09:41:05 PM
yeah, eleka is not someone to be escorted -- she's just a combination health/hookshot/get-out-of-trouble tool.

the enemy fight was broken up by platforming -- it was integrated into the overall battle

Post by: Bildi on July 15, 2008, 09:43:24 PM
I see what you mean swaggaz - I guess it depends on whether you like to have combat sections in the game.

It reminds me a little of Sands of Time where you platformed for a while and then battled for a while, except here they're in faster succession. 

Personally, I think I'll like the variety.

are you serious? that is awesome.

so this is more like out of this world than ico, right? fuck yeah. that game let you have a partner and you didn't escort SHIT!

Post by: cool breeze on July 15, 2008, 09:44:47 PM
I did like that.  I hope there are some SOTC type fights in there also.  I am really just skeptical about it mainly.  It looks like a lot of shit was happening, yet they keep pimping this casual meets hardcore ideology to it.  It can't really get any more boring that Ass. Creed combat was or what old PoP games had sans instant kill.

I do like that they're concentrating on the one-tough-enemy-at-a-time idea.  It is a little different to where many games are going at the moment.

That looks really good, haven't watched the Gamespot level play, but I'm hoping it focuses a LOT on platforming... Sands of Time was a fantastic platformer/puzzler marred by horrible combat, never have I seen a game so two-faced before.
Title: Re: Absolutely stunning new Prince of Persia video
Post by: duckman2000 on July 15, 2008, 10:04:07 PM
Looks good. There is something about the movement of the characters though, something off about the anticipation. But that's really a very minor thing, and I may just be seeing things that aren't there. I love the environment.

the characters move a little too fast -- so fast they almost glide -- and there's no sense of inertia.
Title: Re: Absolutely stunning new Prince of Persia video
Post by: Bildi on July 15, 2008, 10:08:42 PM
It is very 'effortless', but glad they're going in a faster platforming direction. 

When you're feeling like a platforming badass, some slow hand-over-hand ledge crawling is a real mood-killer.

Well that's why I said it's like super Ico.  It just reminds me of it in certain ways.

Post by: Bildi on July 15, 2008, 10:45:05 PM
Sorry, now I get where you're coming from.

The main way I'm reminded of Ico is that Ico had a kind of pastel/painted look to it, and PoP is really taking that to the limits and trying to make it look like a painting.
