I've watched some footage (cover disc of a magazine you don't know) and can't help but notice there's massive full-screen motion trailing going on all the time. If you don't know what I mean, it's motion blur's ugly twin brother. Same idea but with all semblance to physical reality erased.
It makes me sick, GAF, for real. Please tell me that this effect isn't in the full game. Please tell me it's a borked capture or a framerate conversion artefact. Please.

There isn't. I don't know why you are seeing that. Probably the footage.

I preordered this at Gamestop after selling the directionless mess that was Sonic Unleashed back.
So excited for it!

GAF should I get the UK version for the superior boxart and extra bonuses? It would actually come out cheaper for me. I have an American PS3, and I'm just a tiny bit worried that I might have difficulty with DLC or with finding and downloading compatible save files (I like to download a 100% complete save to check out all unlockables after beating the game once on my own, since I know for certain that I'll never grind through it to get everything).
Anyone with similar previous experiences with importing Ubisoft games for PS3?

Same here. I didn't find the Sands of Time to be all that challenging, with the time rewind able to instantly erase any platforming mistakes I made without even having to go back to my last save (I saved all the time...filled up every slot :lol). Now that the Sands are no longer a gameplay mechanic, the Elika save system seems like a fair trade off.

Good to hear! I'm that type of "gamer" as wellBlimblim said:
Is there french language in your version? Just curious because we get german voices here (judging from some videos "our" prince sounds way better, imo

Has it got as many annoying cutscenes as Assassin's Creed?
I read something somewhere where they said the game is constantly stopping for people to speak. That shit pisses me off no end.

Ubi PoP has always had shite combat. The only up tick to the third PoP that hit last gen is that they added stealth kills, which ended lots and lots of combat situations almost instantly, and relatively easily.
I long ago realized that if I wanted to enjoy Ubi's Prince of Persia, I'd have to stomach combat like a bitter pill. I've largely been able to, thankfully.

Glad to hear that, I'm not the biggest fan of difficult games (loved Fable II, which is very easy).
Probably will be picking this up, surprised there hasn't been much interest in this thread.
Must cutscenes are to be triggered by you by pressed the left button (icon flashes on the screen). So if you don't want to see some pointless (if you don't care about the characters) dialog, just don't press the button. Important cutscenes are mandatory of course.cjelly said:

I find it very tedious. It's always the same pattern, just like a boss battle but for every enemy in the game.
It goes like this: the enemy is spamming you, so block. Do a quick release of the block trigger and press again right before the enemy hits you in order to create a counter window. Now you can either hit him with your sword, grab him or unleash Elika. The Prince will execute whatever move you chose and when it's done, the enemy starts spamming you again. Repeat the pattern until he dies.
It requires no skill at all and lasts forever, I totally hate it. And later in the game you get enemies that have a corruption shield, so if you want your counter moves to be effective, first you need to do a grab counter move and THEN the usual pattern. And of course the corruption shield returns after 15 seconds...

Well, so much for Soul Calibur style combat. :/
Maybe it won't be that bad; I actually kind of enjoyed combat in Warrior Within and Two Thrones.

If you're quick enough, you can kill enemies before they spawn too.

Sounds great, though Snoopers impressions on the combat don't sound that hot..anyway I'm
still getting the game, Sands of Time's combat was also nothing special (well in some ways it was annoying to be honest) but overall was an awesome experience.
BTW glad to hear the 360 version's frame-rate is silky smooth.
snoopers said:1) It's nothing like Sands of Time combat
2) I love AC's combat
3) The game is totally worth its price. Beautiful journey, if not very challenging.
That's good because the largest amount of sales from the forum fanbase comes from the PC users, who are older 22+ to 40s or more....

So is the combat a love or hate affair? Some impressions are rather positive but there are still people who dont seem much into it. I really can't wait for more reviews However, the game is preordered and nothing will change that

Anyway it can't be a deal breaker.
In my case I spend a lot of time trying to get all the light seeds, so I'd say fights are more like 5 to 10% of my game time. And that's fine by me, personally good or not I'd rather have no fights at all and just explore the incredibly beautiful levels.snoopers said:
Btw, except when you teleport to a cleaned place or the temple, there are *no* loadings in this game. Except for one pretty strange bug with Elika not moving to a lever (she justs "teleports" there after a few seconds though), I find this game to be very polished. Unlike most recent Ubisoft games if I can add

Thanks for the impressions blim/Snoopers, the game sounds amazing!
The PC version has been "released" already? Damn usually it's on consoles first. I was wondering why so many people were already playing the game too...Blizzard said:How are all you people playing it? Are there really so many reviewers with release builds here? It's not even out for CONSOLES for a couple more days.
PC VERSIONNNNN ARGH
Edit: Hmmm, doesn't look like it's been released on PC either.

I used to care about that in the past, and in fact got the PC version of Sands of Time for that very reason. But today the difference is between playing it on a 42" Plasma TV laying on a couch vs. on a 17" computer monitor = Console version hands down.
