Support NeoGAF

[Rlan]

...that looks stupid. Are they trying to be Ubisoft?

The Shadow and the Flame:

Incidentily, a remake of Shadow and the Flame is coming to iOS and Android later this year:

[EvB]

they're kinda all over the place

they made the terrible Rocket Knight XBLA game but they also made the fantastic Silent Hill Shattered Memories

so yeah

And MotoGP on Xbox. Everything they've made has been ports of shit or just shit games.

A bit like Blitz Entertainment

 

[John Harker]

Oh cool I didn't know they were the team behind this

 

[JDSN]

Oh cool I didn't know they were the team behind this

Prince of Persia by Climax confirmed with Suda producing and the guys from LOST writing.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

Damn, that art direction is stunning.

Is it?

It reminds of a Sega Saturn CG video from AM2.

Prince of Persia by Climax confirmed with Suda producing and the guys from LOST writing.

Àaaaaaaahhhhhh, its like a symphony to my ears. Tho I'd leak that one in a heartbeat so they'd be in too deep to cancel

 

[Übermatik]

This looks cool but strange at the same time? I dunno.

This. It doesn't look next gen, put it that way, and his character design seems off...

 

[Heart Attack]

I hope it's not a 2D/3D sidescroller like Trine.

 

[jett]

This looks weird to me.

 

[Salsa]

 

[popeutlal]

Its a terrible and a good looking game mushed together.

 

[Corto]

Definitely getting Vita vibes from those screens, plus it being an external studio. First E3 leak for Sony? hehehe

 

[Zapages]

looks like Prince of Persia 3D remade (literally, the palace and floating ruins levels from the images)... Very cool if true.

Also Ubisoft is remaking Prince of Persia: the Shadow and the Flame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXQLYySMMNU

They are expanding the levels as well.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

I live about a mile from Climax Studios and received an email about QA via uni.

The one time I ignore it...

 

[Amir0x]

Seems 2.5D or something, looks pretty neat. I'm willing to be game

 

[Mdk7]

Is it?

This.
Kinda MEH honestly.

 

[beelzebozo]

shinobi reboot.

Im always a bit bummed they use the Sands of Time prince for these remakes.
A recreation of the original design would be kinda neat I think

 

[grosvenor_92]

It does look like a PoP game, reboot maybe ?

 

[Zapages]

new screen shot of POP: The Shadow and the Flame remake:

 

[slightconfuse]

Looks like POP to me

 

[Khronico]

The art style and graphics of this game remind me ALOT of Trine. Might be cool, who knows.

 

[Tripp Daily]

if it is not a sequel to this one http://www.ign.com/games/prince-of-persia/ps3-890665 I don't care.

I vaguely remember playing and beating this game. Did it end on a massive cliff hanger?

 

[Khronico]

Yes, and the ending was then explained somewhat in $10 epilogue dlc.

That looks awful in every single way possible. Which doesn't really surprise me because their 2.5D remake of the original was terrible as well. I wish this franchise was taken away from Ubisoft.

 

[Wario64]

[Update] Ubisoft has shared the following statement with Game Informer, "There is no new information to share in regard to Prince of Persia." Whether that means there will be information to share soon (in conjunction with these screenshots or not) is anyone's guess. We certainly wouldn't mind revisiting the series, though.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...s-developing-a-new-prince-of-persia-game.aspx

 

[plagiarize]

Climax UK? I'd be onboard for this as a fan of their work on the Silent Hill series and as a fan of the PoP series.

 

[Crub]

I really need a new POP game.... can't believe we only got 2 this generation, one with killed sequel and one was mediocre -_-"

Three! The Wii game is completely unlike the other console version. I think it was a stupid move of Ubi to use the same box art and name for all versions.

 

[Salsa]

gameinformer seems to be the only site that credited NeoGAF with the find, cool of them

 

[Wario64]

Yeah, just saw it pop up on Joystiq with no mention

 

[Ahasverus]

Looks excellent. I'm hype.

 

[Sentenza]

Well, if that isn't a Prince of Persia game, they are in for a hell of a lawsuit.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Prince of Persia x DmC

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Ahasverus]

My thoughts exactly.

Why?

 

[.la1n]

they're kinda all over the place

they made the terrible Rocket Knight XBLA game but they also made the fantastic Silent Hill Shattered Memories

so yeah

Rocket Knight on mega drive and Sparkster on both mega drive and snes are two (three...) of my favorite games ever, I never could forgive them for the XBLA game.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Why?

Art style looks like DMC.

 

[Ahasverus]

Art style looks like DMC.

Good stuff then. DmC is one of the most artistically impressive games of recent times.

 

[utsavinheaven]

if it is not a sequel to this one http://www.ign.com/games/prince-of-persia/ps3-890665 I don't care.

same here i do not care.UBI should have least bit of decency to finish what they started.
but seeing their take on AC series i doubt

 

[Elfteiroh]

... What? O-o
Why didn't you like it? I loved the game on SNES, even if it was my grandmother's and I never could play it for long... And I liked the new one very much.
I'm genuinely curious to know why you didn't like it.

 

[Anticitizen One]

It's a new Killer App for iphone 5S

 

[cuyahoga]

IIRC they had a huge project cancellation around last October resulting in a bunch of layoffs. Apparently they are working with a major franchise at the moment though.

 

[grandjedi6]

Prince of Persia XBLA/PSN/WiiU game? I'm in

 

[Father_Brain]

Rocket Knight on mega drive and Sparkster on both mega drive and snes are two (three...) of my favorite games ever, I never could forgive them for the XBLA game.

I only played the demo, but it's fair to say that Climax either didn't get what made the original series so good (the incredibly inventive "situation rush" level design, with one unique set piece after another) or didn't have the talent to recapture it. It's as though someone copied and pasted the boost mechanics into a generic 16-bit platformer, then faithfully remade that game in 2.5D.

 

[dzelly]

Definitely done with PoP. Really tried with one of the Wii versions, and couldn't hack it.

 

[Zapages]

Climax has removed the game from their website... So I guess its 2.5 D PoP for sure then...

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Can't beat Sands of Time. Fuck the boring artsy-farsty reboot too, hideously overrated.

 

[Htown]

If it plays like the Sands series, I'm in.

Reminds me I still need to play Forgotten Sands Wii and PoP '08.

 

[Vashetti]

Where's my Prince of Persia (2008) sequel?

 

[BronsonLee]

Looks like PoP Vita (woo Vita games!), and the Prince looks fairly similar to the one from 08 too... Game for '14 release on everything?

 

[2+2=5]

Imo it's a psn/xbla 2.5d pop.
