But will it get roundly ignored like every other Western release this year?

 

[Spiritreaver]

Star Wars Starfighter was that great of a game? Amazing.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Wow, they really liked Prince of Persia. Makes sense though, some say it has that Ico feel at times.

 

[Trevelyon]

Why is Capcom even making the effort publishing RLH?

ain't no one gonna buy it.

 

[MetatronM]

The Simple 2000 Series never ends, does it?

 

[ZigZagZig]

What did they say about PoP?

 

[Blimblim]

The characters of Prince of Persia have been redesigned with a more anime look if i remember correctly ?
Edit : Yup

That's a good thing.

And they look so much cooler art-wise

 

[Blimblim]

I'd really like to see some videos of the game with the redesigned characters.

 

[belgurdo]

It appears that the PoP people have been redrawn by the Soul Calibur II guy; very interesting

 

[Drexon]

PoP: Jikan no Toki??? PoP: The age of time??

 

[djtiesto]

Wow, the new character designs and especially the box art look great.... especially compared to the way POP2 looks Glad to see POP do so well, even for someone who plays mostly Japanese-developed games, it was still excellent, and more deserving of high scores than say, GTA or Halo...

 

[Lyte Edge]

I'd really like to see some videos of the game with the redesigned characters.

It could just be the artwork that got redone, and eveyrthing in-game looks the same. Anyone know for sure?

 

[Blimblim]

True. I really can't say for sure from these screens :

[NotMSRP]

Probably just like how some stuff are/were done for us: redone box/manual artwork to a more ugly American artwork while the in-game art is still animeish.

 

[Troidal]

I was told they didn't change the character design in the game.
It's too bad, but perhaps asking a bit too much for a localization job.

 

[Shompola]

It's much better than ICO trust me.

 

[Soul4ger]

It's much better than ICO trust me.

Drink less alcohol.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

It's much better than ICO trust me.

No it isn't! POP game is long and very repetitive. It was inspired by Ico but yes the combat system in POP was great.

Two very different games but Ico is better

And BTW GOTY 2003 was Beyond Good & Evil

 

[Rhindle]

I don't see how the revised art is either (1) better or (2) "more anime" than the original character designs. It just looks more like the "badass dark Prince" look from the new PoP.

I thought one of the more endearing aspects of the game was that the Prince and Farrah had a bit of wide-eyed innocence that came through in both the character art and expressions and in the dialogue.

Here's the original concept art for the Prince:

That seems alot closer to the PoP2's Prince than the one for the Japanese version of PoP.

 

[bishoptl]

Yep, that does look more like POP2 - minus the tattoo, of course. And what's with the big ol' nipplage?

 

[Blackace]

I don't see KoTOR in that list?

Once it reaches 2000, maybe.
