Thank god they went with the sands of time look and not that Warrior Within crap.

Probably because Jordan Mechner made the original and helped with the Sands of Time, but wasn't involved in Warrior Within.

 

[watership]

I actually preferred the old PoP 1 and 2 art style :S

FTW

Ya, that's Price of Persia 2, and it better come to XBLA as well. It was a better game.

 

[rollingstart]

this is awesome news

I wonder if its smooth and fast 2D like the newer GBA PoP games or more stiff and precise like the old ones

 

[plagiarize]

I actually preferred the old PoP 1 and 2 art style :S

FTW

that's not the old pop 1 style. it was later versions of pop 1 that went over to that style... fwiw.

 

[Drakken]

Sweeeeeeeet. Definite buy.

 

[Zep]

why use the new pop character style?...****in stupid

 

[Mau ®]

I hope it comes to the PSN later on. Looks great.

[Bebpo]

Holy crap wow!

The sad thing is that this will probably be better than the last 2 PoP games ^^;

Did you play the last two PoP games?

Why is it that everyone is missing the "PoP 1 and 2" in my post? oO

 

[Snaku]

Holy shit, that trailer was nice! Insta-buy for me!

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Wow FINALLY! I think this is Ubisoft's best kept secret ever!

Nope. One of it's best kept secret is that in PS2 version of Sands of Time, hidden through a complex code that is even secret to some of the actual dev team, the first few levels of the original Prince game have been remade using the graphic engine of SANDS.

Shhh, I didn't say anything. ;-)

 

[Apharmd Battler]

So Jordan Mechner's Karateka is next right?! I can dream right?!

 

[Mejilan]

This could either be incredible, or an incredible disappointment...

*recalls horrendous emulation of classics in Sands of Time*

 

[temp]

Because you said they had the same artstyle. They didn't.

 

[Bildi]

First XBLA game I'll actually buy.

Would have bought it without the makeover but the makeover seals the deal. Awesome stuff.

Thats what i meant. Thats why the word AND was there.

Silly man Ubisoft hates Sony.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Can someone help a brother out a host the screens somewhere else? I'm at work and all game related sites are blocked....not GAF though. Hurrah!

Try using www.cantbustme.com . Works for me when i'm at my university.

 

[Wario64]

If this is 400 points, consider this bought. 800 points, I'll have to think about it. Looks pretty damn awesome though.

 

[Matix]

Sold, so ****ing sold (my ****ing GOD does XBLA rox)!!

 

[Sean]

Looks great, hopefully it is 400 points.

XBLA has been on a roll lately.

 

[Skilotonn]

OMG.

The first PC game I ever played, that me and friends would boot up and play whenever the teacher went out of the class - talk about nogstalia!

All it looks so good, especially in motion too! Consider it bought UbiSoft!

Man, I really did NOT see this one coming - why does XBLA kick so much ass?!

 

[snoopers]

I said wow.

 

[nesmar]

im glad gameloft is helping out, the cellphone PoPs were great.

im very picky with live games, but this is just way to hard to resist.

 

[Sharp]

Oh shit oh shit oh shit do I need to get a 360 now? This game was AWESOME in 1994. We didn't have the manual the game came with, with the passcodes (wasn't originally ours, I suppose) so we recreated it manually. So many good times...

 

[Cipher]

Wow.

Didn't expect to see updated graphics. I'll need to get some more points soon.

 

[Kobold]

It's really hard to hate on LIVE when MS keeps pulling shit like this. :lol

Not really Microsoft 'pulling this shit' though, is it.

 

[speculawyer]

No mention of Jordan Mechner?

 

[MCD]

Imagine if Capcom pulled something like this with Mega Man...

 

[Sharp]

Imagine if Capcom pulled something like this with Mega Man...

Mega Man 1 <<<<<< Prince of Persia

[Charlatanized]

When I saw that, I exclaimed "badass!" like a thirteen year old at the lunch table reading issues of EGM in the 16-bit days. So yes, it looks quite nice.

Gives me ideas too; think of more remakes, or "updates," getting this sort of overhaul--applying the current coat of paint to the original classic that is. Try to picture Metroid or Metroid II using Prime series assets, or Zelda II with the Twilight Princess character models, or Ninja Gaiden with a shiny new Team Ninja graphical redux. Pipe dreams, I know, but I'd like to see more things like this happen. Good idea, Ubi.

 

[MCD]

Too bad...they failed.

and i prefer consoles anyday over handhelds.

 

[Zapages]

OK guys../

You guys should all thank me right now... I proposed this idea long time ago... Yes that is right.... I'm not kidding you. This just sold me the Xbox 360...

Thank you Ubisoft!!!!

 

[Stryder]

I've played the demo of this and will be buying it for myself on day 1 I think.

 

[Shard]

Too bad...they failed.

Indeed, the point is what is happening to Pop here also happened to Mega Man.

Wow this game looks gorgeous. See Square, this is how you respect a franchise. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

I was in the "400 points or bust" camp before. Now I'd gladly pay 800 points and possibly 1200 if there were a good number of levels. Looks amazing and brings back fond memories.

Oh god, I'm seriously considering buying a 360 JUST for this game. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

WoW

 

[Enk]

I wonder if Mechner is involved in any way or has he given up on the series?

 

[Acosta]

Looks great

 

[Bowen_B]

I love PoP.
Please Ubi, price it at 2000 and bend me over!

I wonder if Mechner is involved in any way or has he given up on the series?

He's working on the PoP movie with Bruckheimer isn't he?

Here's a mirror:

Really looks great. If only some publishers could learn the lesson...

 

[FirstInHell]

I would buy a 4000 point card and spend it all on this game.
