Great news! Hope they do it.

MK_Red5820d ago

F*** no. Why is that nowadays every game and their dog is gonna have co-op? First a classic RPG like Fable 2, then a survival horror game like RE4 and now this... And there are rumors of co-op in God of War 3 which are simply disgusting. Kratos is a lone warrior, the Ghost of Sparta.

As for Prince, I really hope if that's true, the player that plays Elike is not just a copy of Prince but with a female model.

...no co-op play please. All consoles need more single player games and less FPS...okay there I'm off my soap box.

If they add the woman as a playable character it would be bogus to play the same game with a different character. Even though I don't know the story line, playing the woman character on a different path would eventually lead to playing the same game as the prince since eventually they team up for stuff in the game.

A bit late to bother implementing it, it was looks like a very average title.

Freak of Nature5819d ago

Possibly an option for both camps? Does that want Co-op can play in this mode, and those that don't can play in the mode we know of at this point?

Really look forward to the game,looks to be everything you want from a Prince game,exploration,platforming,e tc,etc...

Looks like they have gone back to the original early 90's gameplay,with added muscle from this gen's systems...

I am not a big fan of cell shading,however,this look,a "painterly" touch looks very promising...

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.

evrfighter5282d ago

cyber monday.

I've never seen any cyber monday deals that were as crazy as black friday deals thought.

led10905282d ago

i doubt Valve ever releases their steam sales numbers. How did you get info about the sales then?

STK0265282d ago

I was not referring to the sales themselves, but the deals. The two first days had better games in my opinion. I bought 5-6 games in the two first days, I thought about buying RE5 yesterday, but decided against it since I already own it on console aswell as Borderlands (actually own it on PC and PS3), as for today, I checked the list, closed Steam, told myself I'd come back tomorrow.

Of course, this is very subjective, since I already owned many of the games that were on sale, but it does seem like the bigger games were on sale on the first day, mainly L4D2 and DAO.

2.2 - I think he just meant in reference to the titles available. I skipped out on 2 because I thought I might have had a crack at some other ones I would be more likely to play, then the last two days didn't have much at all, that I was interested in personally.

oh, he replied while I was ;)

Can't wait to play it!

Steam deals FTW!

multipayer5282d ago (Edited 5282d ago )

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 decent Prince of Persia Retrospective (before the film traumatizes us all)

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.
