Prince of Persia : Wii Sidestory confirmed !

AnGeL LiveWii · 11:52 PM

We're just back from the Ubidays and we can confirm that a new Prince of Persia is planned for the Wii.

It will not be the one actually in development for next-gen platforms, but a sort of spin off. It seems that this game will be unveiled during the E3. Maybe before. Things are not clear about it. But Prince of Persia Wii is definitely coming !

Yeah, i already knew, good news i'd say.

In the ideal world, they take things all the way and make this a clone of Strider.

Jaded Alyx · (05-29-2008, 11:47 PM)

Ubisoft redeemed?

EDIT: And why wait this long to say the game exists? They even announced the DS version at the same time as the 360/PS3/PC game, and that is also a 'spin-off'.

A sort of spin-off from the next-gen version eh?

Where's that, "Ubisoft Wii development" pic when you need it?

splattergnome · (05-29-2008, 11:48 PM)

Does this mean that there will be a PSP version, too?

JDSN · (05-29-2008, 11:48 PM)

Prince of Persiaz?

Alphahawk · (05-29-2008, 11:49 PM)

So we can safely assume that theirs a PSP version of it in development as well. I mean they have to have something to port it from right? right?

Make it ground up for the Wii controls. The Wii version of The Two Thrones was awkward.

Wizpig · (05-29-2008, 11:51 PM)

Nope guys, it's a Wii "exclusive".

Well, to be honest, it's an exclusive AFAIK, i sure don't work in Ubisoft or anything, but i have a friend who works there and told me some weeks ago he was working on this "PoP" for the Wii - he didn't mention other consoles.

How about a Wii port of a PS2 port of a PS2 port of a PS3 game.

Is yoiur mind blown yet?

Haunted · (05-29-2008, 11:52 PM)

So who was the genius that decided to release Dogz/Babies screens and announcements while keeping this game under wraps during one of Ubi's biggest events this year?

smh

Prince of Persia It!

It takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, to take advantage of the Wii's "unique capabilities."

Ouch. Probably true.

Ubisoft would have been stupid to ignore the Wii's marketshare. Here's hoping they put some actual effort into it rather than handing it off to some group that has no fucking clue how to make a good game.

I agree, I just hope it's cel shaded.

Knowing Ubi, it'll be a bad Professor Layton clone starring the prince

What's the point really? This will just be another cock punch.

It better not be. A built from the ground up Prince of Persia Wii game has potential. Just please dont make it look like some low level PS2 game. And no PSP version but with motion controls crap.

How can you even hope at this point?

BrodiemanTTR · (05-30-2008, 12:12 AM)

Ubisoft game. Nintendo platform. Honestly, who gives a shit? Why even bother starting to care?

This guy knows what he's talking about.

fernoca · (05-30-2008, 12:12 AM)

Confirmed back when the "Prodigy" scans started appearing online..
They want to make something "unique", like the DS version...they just don't know what it's going to be..the artile made it look as if they were still just analyzing possibilities.

Liara T'Soni · (05-30-2008, 12:15 AM)

They should just port PoP : The Sands of Time.

Honestly...I think it's an underrated gem of last generation, and I feel that if RE4 deserved a port, so does this.

Although, I am unsure myself how games that require such precision and timing work on the wii.

Visualante · (05-30-2008, 12:18 AM)

Just started development, so if it's coming out at the same time.. that's not very long to make a game even on Wii with the SoT engine.

It will be a rushed job. Removing the PS2/PSP from the equation doesn't instantly elevate it above PSPorts, it just means they can focus on the controls a bit more.

While I agree that Sands of Time was one of the greatest games of last gen, no more fucking Wii ports. Wii ports were great for the first generation when developers were still learning the Wii, but now it's really time to put up or shut up.

Oh I understand what you mean, I was just trying to be a realist...

Ubisofts new game will probably suck, I just figured that Wii owners would be better off with an oldie but guaranteed goodie...

Wii Ubisoft fans really are the abused wives of the gaming industry.

This is the flower arrangement begging for forgiveness, the Red Steel 2 announcement at E3 will be the out-of-the-blue marriage proposal that you just can't refuse, despite your better judgement.

This thread makes me

Unbelievable how cynic Wii owners have become towards Ubisoft. (and rightfully so, I might add).
