Why the hate ? it looks awesome !! if it was made by Nintendo everyone will be praising it right now

you don't walk slowly behind an NPC, and there are no bushes to hide in with your crossbow, so of course Gaf doesn't like it.

I bet it doesn't even have a Photo mode pfft.

 

[mrcroket]

That music... in a Prince of Persia game... my godness...

Nintendo have waaay more good taste than that.

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

Gameplay looks fun. Not feeling the character design though.

And I’m still sad we don’t have a sequel to 2008 (not counting the DS as a sequel). Which makes me sad .

 

[Thirty7ven]

Felt more like Prince of Wakanda

 

[Champomade]

Everything about this looks like shit to me

I could see it being a moderate success with 8 yr old edge lords tho.

I assume it is F2P on Iphone?

 

[Barakov]

PoP game where you don't play as the Prince? Ubisoft is taking their hackery to a whole new level. Also those fortnite style designs are awful.

 

[daveonezero]

huh I do not like that character design.

 

[Beer Baelly]

 

[Shtef]

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

looks like a modern take on the old skool Prince of Persia game, you lot are waaaay too harsh

Shitty jerky animations that make it look more like a 2D scrolling slasher than the old-school rotoscoped, slow ambling platformer that was the O.G. PoP.

Nah, I don't think we're harsh enough.

 

[LordCBH]

Looks like a cheap piece of shit made on a budget of $10 and a McRib.

 

[Forsythia]

That haircut! That music!

Completely turns me off of this game, even though it could actually be fun. I'm too old for this.

 

[sir_daddy_69]

The Fresh Prince of Persia

 

[Kadve]

How nice of them to remake the PSP version of Forgotten Sands....

Looks like the switch is their main SKU that's why it looks like this.

Looks more like the 3DS to me. /s

 

[Saber]

My god what have they done...

What an ugly and generic phone looking game.

 

[Fake]

God save us from the western.

 

[Yoboman]

The character designer definitely looked up gen Z haircuts when designing this

 

[Optimus Lime]

Maybe it's because I'm not American, but when I watch a video game trailer and a bunch of horrendously shitty rap 'music' starts blaring at me, I just can't take it and I shut it off.

This looks utterly fucking insufferable. Like an overly focus tested iPhone game. Fuck off Ubisoft.

 

[March Climber]

My price.... my dear prince.... is now a Fortnite character

Prince of what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didnt think ubisoft could sink any lower

WTF did they do to prince of persia....my lord.

Felt more like Prince of Wakanda

The Fresh Prince of Persia

Black character with rap music .... in a prince of persia game ... guess the cleopatra backlash came too late

I think the reactionaries missed the part where they said 'The Prince has been kidnapped and it's up to us to save him'

 

[SegaManAU]

Looks terrible. Recycled garbage with PS2-looking graphics.

 

[Nankatsu]

Its looks different from what I expected. Didn't think they would go 2D route.

They completely missed the vibe though.

 

[justiceiro]

A prince game without the prince, that's sure is a approach...






...it's what I would say if I didn't know they will sell him as microtransactions after release. Fuck off, Ubisoft.

 

[ClanOfNone]

This venerated series return to its 2d roots could've been really cool.

We just don't live in that timeline.

 

[Fbh]

I guess if you can look past the Fortnite art direction and horrendous music (which I asume will not be in the game), the gameplay does at least look half decent.

 

[drotahorror]

Combat looks really fun. The trailer music is not my style at all but damn if it’s not edited extremely well.

Also LUNA listed but no steam. Come the fuck on ubi.

 

[Warablo]

Obviously they are going for a different target audience I see.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

1) Prince of Ass and,

2) its CROSS FUCKING gen....in 2024.

 

[KXVXII9X]

Ironic some are saying this is mobile tier since it is better animated and polished than 95% of the other games shown these days. It actually has great art direction too.

They're mad because it isn't Sands of Time 5 or PoP 2008 part 2, and also because the protagonist isn't the Prince. Hopefully they give the game a legitimate chance if it ends up with good ratings.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Imagine if they introduced Splinter Cell Remake with the same art style and target group.

(don't hang me if I end up being right)

 

[fermcr]

Not the Prince of Persia I was expecting, but it looks good.
For me it was one of the most interesting games from the showcase.

 

[01011001]

last gen holding back our 2D games!

 

[Gaelyon]

I like it. It look very fun and dynamic, like the old 2D Prince of Persia.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

Why does the main character have to have the gayest fucking haircut? For the love of god I hope they have an alternative skin.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

It's so fucking cringe. Didn't get through the gameplay video cause it looks like ass anyways.

 

[Success]

The combat and mobility looks good.

 

[Kacho]

I have no idea what to think about this. I love PoP but that artsyle and music choice.

 

[[Sigma]]

Some cringe in it but I can't believe im saying this about a Ubisoft game, this is on my radar. This is looking like a buy from me. Mirage and this. Would be the first time I bought a Ubisoft game in over a decade.

 

[Portugeezer]

Not looking to great for me.

 

[stickkidsam]

Nothing wrong with disliking the direction they took with the gameplay or expecting to play as the titular character who has starred in every game.

People were pretty pissed when Halo 5 had you mostly play as Locke and it was a dumb idea then too.

 

[Mischief Maker]

I am not feeling that art direction at all, look like the characters were designed via WEF ESG woke DEI metrics. I prefer the classic sands of time 3d game art style and vibe frankly. This looks like woke dog poo.

 

[Fuz]

Art style is awful, looks like a mobile game.

+douchebag haircut.

Shelf.

 

[Fuz]

rotoscoped

This needs to have a comeback, both in games and in movies.

People were mad at Halo Infinite too and that was 100% Chief. I find that it's less of a protagonist/gameplay style issue and more of a bad game issue.

 

[StereoVsn]

Sigh... not looking forward to this at all.

 

[kruis]

Ubisoft is stuck in this mode.

I mean there were a lot of things people were mad at Halo Infinite about.

Yeah a bad game makes for pissed off fans regardless of how much it retains the face and style on the surface. The face and style of the game is still a part of what people come back for though. It's what differentiates that series from everything else, so moving away from that risks alienating your fanbase.

 

[Quantum253]

I loved PoP: Sands of Time. Idk about this. It feels like a weird cross of Fortnite character models and Immortal: Fenyx Rising environments (if Fenyx was a 3d side scroller)

 

[March Climber]

I like the risks though. People tried to dislike PoP 2008 when it first came out because that wasn't the same Prince from Sands of Time, but then they ended up liking the guy after the game turned out to be a unique and touching narrative experience. Now they look back on it with nostalgia.

I do find it interesting though that when it comes to books and movies, for the most part, people seem to be fine with protagonists eventually finding peace or resolution in their story and then moving on to the next protagonist. For some reason gamers want protagonists in story-based games(that have been running for 10 years or more), to continue to exist indefinitely and get into infinite conflicts. That new Like a Dragon game just made me feel a little sad inside because it's like they wheeled Kiryu back out for another adventure.
