Next-gen Prince of Persia to be called Prodigy?

15
Videogamer reports that video game designer Jordan Mechner, the creator and owner of the Ubisoft published Prince of Persia game franchise, has filed to protect the trademark Prince of Persia Prodigy in relation to "game software and electronic game programs; electronic game software for mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and handheld computers".

Eagle-eyed trademark specialist Trademork, which noticed the filing, speculates that Prince of Persia Prodigy might be the name of the next-gen sequel to the Sands of Time trilogy, following The Sands of Time itself, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones.

Yeah, not to good for me either.

Lets just hope the Prince's first game this generation is as good as it has the potential to be.

My fave POP is one of the old 2D ones from previous series. Prince of Persia 2 is my fave.

Among the Sands trilogy, the first one is my fave.

Sand of time here too. The series was so much better before they tried to get "dark" and make the prince into a generic dime a dozen anti hero. I gave up on the series after being so hugely let down by the second one.

i would say The 2 thrones! the bosses battle is more difficult than other prince of persia games, and it got more functions to do like the chain etc, pretty good game but ver hard.

My fav was Warrior Within. Very well told story, excellent fighting mechanics.

The whole series seems to be a metaphor for growing up. Part one is childhood, where the prince lives a carefree life only to be thrown into a situation caused by his own actions. Part two is adolescence, trying to recapture his childhood by undoing everything that he had done. Part three is adulthood, where the prince finally accepts that he must live with the choices he has made.

Curious where they make this next entry. But this title, it doesn't quite have the same vibe. And "Guywithhair' has valid points altogether. That is what the "Time" trilogy was all about. The team behind this new piece is going to have a rough time to go with a new game. Maybe they might find inspiration, time will tell.

They are just guessing. I have seen alot of guess work going on by gaming website. Gears of War may Suck, Sony may doom, Microsoft may get burned down etc. etc. I guess the media drought is really causing these gaming sites to go nuts:P

I've only played the two thrones, but I've gotta say, I hated it. I just could not stay interested. Then again I was playing it on the gamecube, so the crappy controller didn't help.

9 - oh snap!
I completely forgot about this game. I have 1 and 3, never got a chance to play 2. I'm at the final boss of 3 if my memory serves me right. The only reason why I could have stopped was because I didn't know how to beat him at the time. I remember something about floating stones though. Any tips?
