This time around, players won't start off as a prince, but instead as a drifter and adventurer, lost in the desert. "We're starting afresh, in the same universe, and we wanted to bring something new while keeping what worked before," creative director Jean-Christphe Chuyot explains, adding "He'll be confronted by a lot of fantasy settings."

The sales really started strong, but today and yesterday's sales were a bit lackluster, to me.
Hopefully they will go all out tomorrow, if only not to be overshadowed by D2D's crazy Monday sale or whatever they are calling it.
I lolled at the demo on 360, but mouse control would probably make it seem like nice interactive tetris levels.
*looks at unassembled PC parts from black friday* >_<
A look back at the history of the cult series, which is now 20 years old.
I had 'The original Prince of Persia' it was an awesome game, still want to play it today. Didn't know until now, Prince of Persia shares it's birthday with mine :D
One of the best game series's to come out in the history of gaming.
UGO writes,
"To capture the fluid motions that would distinguish Prince of Persia from the glut of adventure video games released in the late '80s Jordan Mechner studied video and still pictures of his younger brother, David. Those are some modest roots for a franchise that has sold in the millions and, in 2010, see the release of a blockbuster film.
But how Mechner's Prince of Persia could inspire a reimagination that would become one of 2008's most popular holiday releases is a winding tale best told in bits. To help explain, we've compiled a chronological retrospective. Now you can learn how a kid jumping around the front yard became a thousand-polygon model leaping across hundred foot chasms."
I absolutely abhorred the new POP game. The taint of the whole series by far. such a waste of 30 dollars.
it’s from the studio that created Sand of Time only ( The team behind Assassin’s Creed ). The two other two parts are created by a different team.
Well should be interesting. They did do Assassin's Creed so they know how to do open world games. I just hope there are more varieties in missions than AC I got bored with that game.
There were alot of things done right in AC. AC had some faults that were really around the design of gameplay that take nothing away from the engine. Hopefully, POP will be a great game.
Thats all else I had to say.
So Basically its going to be Assassin`s Creed, but with Aladdin instead Of Altair pointless jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
I think Prince of Persia worked as a Linear Platformer, making it open world will just ruin it.
