1UP: Among the heap of financial info contained in this morning's first-half 2010-2011 report from Ubisoft is a confirmation that the Prince of Persia Trilogy will be arriving on the U.S. PlayStation Store.
Previously announced for a retail release in EMEA (European, Middle Eastern, African) territories, the HD remakes of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones are now listed on Ubisoft's release schedule for Sony's downloadable games platform. The disc-based compilation appears to have remained an EMEA exclusive, however.
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen
If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?
Follow the Leader.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
ZOMG! Another win for Sony. I think.

Next step, bring more PS3 games to PSN!
Aww... I actually wanted a US retail release too...! Oh well, this is good enough too.
Wow, this makes up for it not being a retail in the US ^_^
now this. im loving all these ps2 upgrades that i missed out on. lets hope for all the others that we want to happen, in fact does.
