I hope not, I like my PoP to be fantastical... this doesn't seem to be that.

[Samurai_Heart]

The joke is that the boys in the screenshot look nothing like actual little boys, hence referring to them as "child men." But that just flew over your head, didn't it?

LMAO looks like the one Bioware made for Mass Effect 3's ending XD, developers don't really model child proportion well XD.

[MNC]

13 frames per second?!?! Lol

very normal for alpha/beta's.

[Muzzy]

Well, why not. I enjoyed the Arabian Nights atmosphere from POP 2008 (and still hope a sequel to that) but Egypt as a setting seems good to me provided it keeps the ol' good platforming gameplay.

[UrbanRats]

Doesn't seem too bad to me (considering the alpha stage it's in).
The "God of War" mention though is worrying.
Also the gritty obnoxious style could end up being too much to handle.

[Razgriz-Specter]

If true, they couldn't pay me to play that.

[deejay8595]

...Boys?

Boys don't look like that. The bodies in the picture are too developed lol.

[NoirVisage]

Are they all looking at his dick?

can't unsee, they're impressed.

[Zoibie]

PoP 08 had such a refreshing art style, this is just super disappointing. Technically it looks great, but still...

[Rodney McKay]

By next gen all Ubisoft games will be the same game.

Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassins Creed, Beyond Good and Evil: all gritty realistic shooters taking place in the middle east.

[Pop-O-Matic]

LMAO looks like the one Bioware made for Mass Effect 3's ending XD, developers don't really model child proportion well XD.

Well, to properly model little children, you would have to study their bodies extensively, and that would probably get you at least 10 years in the clink.

By next gen all games will be the same game. Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassins Creed, Beyond Good and Evil, Halo, Gears of War, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Crysis, Uncharted, Killzone, Mario, Zelda, Sonic, Pokemon, Metroid, Forza, SimCity, Tetris: all gritty realistic shooters taking place in the middle east.

Fixed.

[Net_Wrecker]

Ughhhhh that art style. PoP 2008 looked beautiful, the GAME was the issue.

I'm willing to bet killing in motion, mark & execute, wall hacks, and ghost panthers will also be a part of this.

[Wonko_C]

Prince? More like The Brute of Persia, amirite?

[BurnOutBrighter]

Assassin's Creed: Persia

Kinda fitting, since AC was originally conceived as a PoP game/spinoff.

[Neodiablo22]

Did POP 2008 do so poorly that they decided to completely switch directions?

[Riggs]

13 frames per second?!?! Lol

First thing I noticed hah.

[OriginalNameGuy]

I want to see it in motion. Hopefully its more Prince and less Assassin's Creed

[jediyoshi]

rest in peace sweet prince

[Ahasverus]

Was Egypt actually part of Persia?

[Xdrive05]

Bottom-right corner, is that "3.09MB"?

Could that be short hand for 3,09xMB, where x is the single digit thus insignificant for testing... meaning this is memory usage? If so, that scene is using just over 3GB. And the number is in green, meaning a "safe" amount of current memory footprint.

Or it's referring to the frame buffer which actually could be 3.09MB (or could have 3.09MB left to work with in the eDRAM)... ;)

[Currygan]

[likedamaster]

I like the realistic look of it. Can't believe the reactions, though. Is it because of how it looks from that screenshot? You can tell the pic has been super compressed.

[Tenki]

Was Egypt actually part of Persia?

Yes. They conquered Egypt in the 6th century BC.

[Currygan]

Those 2 little kids are ready to kick some ass.

what are you talking about? It's ONE kid

[double jump]

I like the realistic look of it. Can't believe the reactions, though. Is it because of how it looks from that screenshot?

this right here. I loved the sands of time pop trilogy. I skipped 2008 because they said gameplay to a major step back . I hope this makes it out and rectifies some of the past games short comings.

[Paranerd]

Not digging the look. I don't remember the Prince looking that bulky, and the 'God of War' bit isn't what I'd want in a new Prince of Persia. But hey, maybe it'll be cool.

[Pop-O-Matic]

I like the realistic look of it. Can't believe the reactions, though. Is it because of how it looks from that screenshot? You can tell the pic has been super compressed.

Because the realistic look is a sign that the franchise is NOT moving in a direction that the fans want it to and, if the info in the other thread is correct, it will just become a bad God of War clone.

You should check out The Forgotten Sands. Really.

[Ahasverus]

Yes. They conquered Egypt in the 6th century BC.

Thank you!
Actually storywise this one could be very interesting.

But still, yuck this brown/grey/white bad mash-up.

[Razgriz-Specter]

And those aren't even that great of images.

[Currygan]

well to be fair, that guy may or may not be the game protagonist after all....

[Zapages]

I don't think it's gonna be great again until Mechner returns to the franchise. That seems to be the main difference between Sands of Time and everything that followed it. And I hear Mechner's involved with Beyond Good & Evil 2. Also, Ubisoft should give up on melee combat at this point. They suck at it.

As far as I know... Jordan Mechner is working on porting The Last Express onto iOS and doing HD version of Karateka (PSN/XBLA)...

[SketchTheArtist]

And those aren't even that great of images.

Did you know that Warrior Within and POP 2008 share the same Art Director?

[Razgriz-Specter]

Did you know that Warrior Within and POP 2008 share the same Art Director?

Wow I didn't know, pretty crazy.

[Tricky I Shadow]

[[Clark Gable]]

Subtle the topic.

[HiiiLife]

Sisqo.

[saltine161]

Wanted PoP 2008 2, but I guess another Assassin Creed sequel will do, Seriously thou Hopefully this one screenshot is a terrible representation of the final game

[subversus]

Looks very good even though it's a test screen.

[diamount]

Just by that black guy's stance you can tell he is using Altair/Ezio's skeleton.

[walking fiend]

looks like shit, I mean SHIT, like really SHIT; how could they fuck up such an amazing game so badly? The mystic and magical feeling of PoP game used to ooze from the graphic style

[FloppyDelux]

I dig it

Kratos?

dont think so, im sure its another Muscular guy that posed for the game( just guessing)
also +1 for POP 2008 fallow up ...

Just by that black guy's stance you can tell he is using Altair/Ezio's skeleton.

Not surprised if they reused Altair/ Ezio's mesh.

[injurai]

This series has had way too many reboots.

[Jawmuncher]

Ugggh I hope not.
You could have showed me that and I would have thought it was something from Assassins Creed. It looks nothing like PoP.
I'll give it a chance but if this is real, its not a good first impression.

[Buttonbasher]

Did you know that Warrior Within and POP 2008 share the same Art Director?

That's crazy!

[kevm3]

Graphically, it reminds me of Resident Evil for some reason.

[gabbre]

Sort of, except a good one this time.

.

[ResidentDante]

This looks like it's nextgen project. And I dont worry about fps, game is still more than 1 year away. Also, its played back trough BINK player.

13 fps for next-gen movie-like framerate confirmed!

[EVOL 100%]

Can't we just get a PoP'08 sequel with better gameplay please.

[dark_inferno]

They made a black version of PoP? Guys... please dont make me cry.
