New Art Style for Prince of Persia?

harry190 - 616 days 13 hours ago

the fighting system has evolved.They said it would be like Ninja Gaiden and much more dynamic with great camera angles....uummmm....future must buy...
They also said they have been greatly influenced by MGS for the boss battles.

Seems the Prince does not use the sands of time anymore,he has access to new powers.

The game might be open ended,not linear at all.

The early version had stylish effects a la Okami and Street Fighter teaser trailer.
Correction:you don't play as the prince anymore,you play as a thief caught in a battle between two gods.

They are using the 'Anvil game engine',the same as Assassin's Creed.

No visible loading times.

Are those screenshots? I thought they were concept arts or something. I was hoping POP4 had assassin's creed type graphics.

This is kind of weird to me. It could be great, but lets hope that all this new stuff for the game comes together well.

It will be weird not playing as the prince too.

I hope it is good though.

it seems more like a graphic novel in it's art style, and that's something I'm looking forward too, I always felt that the games weren't dark enough and with it's new look i think it can be a bit more adault oriented.

i like the new style but not really the graphics . I'm picky when it comes to cell shading , and what i really dislike with those kind of games , is that trend of just rendering a game like usual then pasting a cellshading filter and magic marker .

Want a cartoon , comics or anime feel ? Then do it like the ps2 naruto , the upcoming ps3 naruto and a few games ... do it properly .. do more than drawing a big black line around the characters and backgrounds , and more than a crappy photoshop like filter .

The stills look beautiful, the detail in the cell shading is very complex. I don't think we will know how it will really look until we see some real-time gameplay footage. It almost looks as if the backgrounds are realistic while the characters have that animated look to them.

The graphics remind me of the recently announced new Naruto game for the PS3, the one that "breaks the line between animation and game".

I don't care about the style, this game is closer to real Persian mythologies and is more like Okami and Zelda. That's perfection to me.

Horrible art, way too messy. I don't like the sound of "not evolving the platforming as much" either.

Damn you Ubisoft for killing one of my favorite franchises. :|

I'm much less excited about this than I thought I would be. I liked Sands of Times, loved Warrior Within, was very, very disappointed with Two Thrones and now, it seems like a mashup of Okami and Soul Calibur? I want more devious traps and more of the WW combat engine but I guess it's not meant to be. Well, at least God of War 3 is coming.

Trying to achieve photorealism has become so played-out IMHO. I applaud this change in the PoP series.
