"Prince of Persia has been around for over twenty years now, having started out back in 1989 on an Apple II computer – and playing out as a two-dimensional platformer – the series latest entry came about in 2010 on all the major formats. Aside from the evolution of graphics from the original’s spectacular rotoscoped animations of series creator Jordan Mechner’s brother, to the more modern looks of polygons and three-dimensional environments, Prince of Persia has stayed true to it’s roots of platforming, puzzling and methodical combat. Out of the many titles in the series, one stands out as not just being the best out of the lot, but also one of the best platformers ever created."
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…
Its sad that Ubisoft just left the Pop franchise to die
True but I heard they were making another one (PoP) for Wii U. Idk might be a rumor.
What about the latest prince of persia, forgotten sands?
That was a great game, and true to the series.
I'm hoping more is on the way. One of my favorite series of all time!
I really liked PoP 2008, but sadly it was way too easy.
Sands of Time had a great difficulty curve with moves that required good timing. The story and characters were good too.
