LazyBoy Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nice, real nice, especially where it talks about moving away from that piece of crap AC. No chance of a Wii version though I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Cookie Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 My first reaction was "Oh no's!", then "Hell Yeah!" This looks very promising! Those graphics make it stand out from the crowd. I hope they can regain the magic of Sands of Time. I wasn't a big fan of it's sequels, but adored SoT. yeah yeah. Nowt else good though.

Dan_Dare Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 alright i can't be arsed with a debate. more importantly: this game looks the biz. the quotes in the OP link say they've removed the time travel and made it more zelda like. Sounds like free roaming dungeons instead of straight up platforming. Interesting move, but I'm not sure I'm convinced- I kinda liked the simplicity of SoT also, they're claiming the fights are like duels. This makes me happy. Everyone knows the best fights in this kind of thing are the one on one battles with single, powerful advasaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 God it's been an age since I've seen anything about pop, I've got the first three so this is a nice addition, I really need to get back and play them actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 oh yeah, and fuck warrior within. It's so, so shit. The other two are two of the finest games on any last gen system, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 never been! I jest, really. I jsut don't think much to the wii. The control scheme (lets be honest, the only thing that ever made it good) has been reduced to gimicky shit by a multitude of shoddy third party shovelware.

The control scheme (lets be honest, the only thing that ever made it good) has been reduced to gimicky shit by a multitude of shoddy third party shovelware. It's OK, I'm kidding too. Although your view on the Wii is clearly (very) narrow and misinformed, you're free to think whatever you want as long as you don't go trolling like some other forumites. Ok, ontopic now! I want to see this in motion, I've been waiting ages for someone to take this approach to graphics and it can look stunning, it looks really close to the artwork that leaked some time ago. I hope they don't go down the angsty, emo path again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sands of time would be one of the best of last-gen if it weren't for that awful goddamn combat system. I like the idea of duels though. Might be able to make it look like the combat system of the persian broadsword should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 from what they've said, it's a more mystical, Arabian Nights thing this time. it's not even sands of time territory. It sounds really interesting because I always liked the fairytale edge to the first game. Sands of time would be one of the best of last-gen if it weren't for that awful goddamn combat system. I like the idea of duels though. Might be able to make it look like the combat system of the persian broadsword should be. correction: the system was actually really solid. the problem was just the sheer ammount of killing you had to do with it. Waaaay too much. Going back, the actual fights are far, far more fun that Warrior Within. Two Thrones added the stealth kills though, which made the fights really really good. Almost puzzle like.

Hellfire Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yeah the mechanics weren't bad, but they exagerated with the ammount of fighting. Mixing wallriding with fighting was awesome. Two Thrones was cool too, but SoT is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I must be the only one who think that this looks crap in the way they have designed it visually. Seriously the settings and the characters don't gel at all, it looks like he's been stuck onto the level in the way it's rendered, coloured and lit. No cohession at all. I don't see this "style" bringing anything new to the character or feel of the franchise especially when its so obvious that they can neither let go of the realistic style nor bravely design an original style. It's a mess, jumping on the cell-shaded train offering nothing visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prince this time looks rendered into the scene not as such looking suited to the environment. To be honest, this looks like art-work and not actual game graphics. Read the list below the pics, some of it sounds total bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 A game that looks like artwork? Day 1. (if it's any good) And in fact, what says below the pics, makes 100% sense with what you're saying. The prince looks like artwork slapped in the environment, because the environment changes dynamically, thus they had to go with a more "normal" look.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Looks awesome. I even managed to get some enjoyment out of Warrior Within. Definitely a day one purchase. Edit- Oh God I had a bit of a nerd rage at one of the posts on that site. But i've gotta say, the only reason I ever played prince of persia was for the free running mechanic. But now that we have Assassin's Creed, that series is pretty much useless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
