POP will miss Xmas "if quality's not there" - But Ubi still banking on '08 release

Prince of Persia producer Ben Mattes has told Eurogamer that his title will slip into 2009 "if the quality's not there", but added that the team was nevertheless committed to hitting its pre-Christmas target.

Treated to a walkthrough of the E3 demo earlier this month at Ubisoft Montreal, while it wowed us with its content, the code was noticeably buggy and suffered from a dodgy frame-rate in places. And the game will remain hands-off only to the press at E3 this week.
