As a hardcore fan, I want more Prince of Persia, but there's one key component that I need to see: The series needs to go back to its roots. The setting for Prince of Persia was based on the classic 1,001 Arabian Nights tales.
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
With the release of The Lost Crown this week, let's take a look at every Prince of Persia game released since the series debuted.
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
Sounds just like me. I mapped out the indoor areas on paper, leaving the SNES on for days at a time. But I never finished the game. I collected all the raptor eggs except one. So close !
oh god, I remember beating JP on SNES and like you said, it was all in one shot.
I dunno about this list though, I beat all the Star Wars games and while some levels were tough, it was easy to get powerups and extra lives and stuff. Maybe set to the hardest settings it was tough. I also beat Contra 3, loved that game to death.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
2008, the one on one battles were not the best direction along with the orb collection imo.
The art style was nice, I liked how after defeating your enemy the landscape changed from desolate to vibrant colors.
I wish they would just do a proper remake of the first three games, by which I mean the sands trilogy and not the very first 2D Prince game.
They just kept simplifying it more and more to the point where it was insultingly hand holdy and just no fun/challenge to play, so no one played/bought it, so it died.
It was consumed by the Assassin's Creed franchise. It didn't do anything wrong. Ubisoft also moved away from short linear titles.
Forgotten Sands
It was a horrible, forced in, cash in to go with the movie
I thought the 2008 reboot was flawed but I enjoyed the story and I at least wanted to see the cliff hanger concluded.
2D Metroidvania with lavish production values could be a good way to bring it back. Make it tough like the original game.
