[De-mon]

Old?

720p, 3D compatible, new textures, normal maps and anti-aliasing.

 

[Kagari]

Somehow it looks worse than I remember.

 

[Captain Pants]

For some reason, I was expecting it to look good.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Somehow it looks worse than I remember.

I was thinking that. :/

 

[Gravijah]

Hey, it's a PS2 game in HD!

 

[cw_sasuke]

For some reason, I was expecting it to look good.

:lol

 

[ZealousD]

Are we sure those aren't iPhone screenshots?

 

[badcrumble]

Is it based on the PS2 versions instead of the much-better-looking versions for other consoles? Gross.

 

[Dead Prince]

ew.

 

[Peff]

Well, the pics explain why the compilations are "exclusive". Understandable, but still meh-ish.

 

[ULTROS!]

Somehow it looks worse than I remember.

I agree.

I guess it's good for those who've missed it and trophies will make it awesome (depending if they're doable or not).

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Europe only apparently!

Ubisoft will release an HD collection of Prince Of Persia exclusively on PS3 next month - which will also be fully playable in stereoscopic 3D.

The Prince of Persia Trilogy will include Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones on one Blu-ray disc.

It's scheduled for release on November 19 in Europe only, at a recommended retail price of £29.99

All three titles will be fully remastered in 720p HD with new textures, normal maps and anti-aliasing.

[Yazuka]

Never played the original, but I was expecting something that looked a bit better than this...

 

[Eccocid]

Sometimes my memory plays games to me. Ps2 games look like ps1 games hah

 

[Firewire]

Is this one of the PS3 Classics in HD games?

Of is a compilation of the Prince trilogy Persia of the previous generation - the Sands of the Time, the Soul of the Guerrero and the Two Crowns in high resolution improved, textures, antialiasing and compatibility with 3D stereoscopic in a same disc blu Ray. Its launching is predicted for the 18 of November of 2010 in Europe.

I guess so..

 

[Oneself]

Somehow it looks worse than I remember.

This.

Isn't the orginal PoP full of bloom etc.. so it doesn't look like this edgy polygonal looking mess??

 

[Femmeworth]

Those shots from Warrior Within look bad.

 

[Paznos]

Ok so where are the new HD shots? :lol

 

[StealthGoblin]

Ha, people will have to import from the EU for once!

Still looks janky though.

 

[Edgeward]

Hmm all I really want fom that is Sands of Time =\, I want no part of the sequels.

 

[LiK]

probably look better in motion on a TV instead. it looks like it's missing the soft glow and lighting effects from the original games...

 

[Loudninja]

I guess they forgot to update the visuals?

 

[ultron87]

I do really love Sands of Time. And Two Thrones was pretty fun except for the chariot sections.

Warrior Within was. . . *shrug*.

It's shame that only Sands of Time works on 360 Backwards Compatibility right now.

 

[CO_Andy]

Those textures are such a huge mismatch with the low poly count >_>

 

[Oneself]

probably look better in motion on a TV instead. it looks like it's missing the soft glow and lighting effects from the original games...

As in that's what made the games look good and special. As in Ubi shit-ports.

 

[Gravijah]

Europe... only? Hm.

 

[Danielsan]

Ubisoft really needs to put more effort into these.
The ICO and SotC remasters almost look like current gen games.
This looks like junk.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Maybe SCEA saw these screens and thought 'fuck that shit' and didn't license it for release in the US! :lol

Tretton pressed the 'Fuck it!' button in his office and the whole of SCEA initiated the 'RLF' procedure.

 

[jett]

Sands of Time is still a good looking game, the other two not so much. Anyway I doubt I'll be getting this.

Is it based on the PS2 versions instead of the much-better-looking versions for other consoles? Gross.

Hard to say. The Prince in the SoT picture has individually rendered fingers, that wasn't in the PS2 version.

 

[Captain Pants]

Here's a screen from the PS2 version of Warrior Within.

Superior PS2 version am confirmed.

 

[Firewire]

Europe only?

Ubi always finds a way to fail.

 

[TheSeks]

Wow, that looks pretty bad. I don't think even the PS2 version looked that bad. :lol

 

[VariantX04]

Gameloft is really pushing the capabilities of the iPhone.

 

[MMaRsu]

3d compatible? Why? How is that even gonna work?

 

[badcrumble]

Hard to say. The Prince in the SoT picture has individually rendered fingers, that wasn't in the PS2 version.

Well spotted. Hmm.

 

[Danielsan]

Europe only?

Ubi always finds a way to fail.

Certainly not the only way they found.

 

[Paracelsus]

I'll...just keep the PS2 collection and wait for the SCell one, thank you. ._ .

 

[Adam Prime]

Hmph no thanks.

 

[jett]

Ubisoft really needs to put more effort into these.
The ICO and SotC remasters almost look like current gen games.
This looks like junk.

That's unfair. They're hardly remasters, they look virtually the same as the original games but in a higher resolution. They just hold up much nicer than these games.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Great Prince of Persia trilogy confirmed!!! Yay! Yay!!!

Ya.... hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Crap!!! I've been playing the God of War collection. I guess that has tainted my expectations of what a port of the PS2 version of a 2003 multiplatform title would look like in HD.

I'll have to see it in motion, but those screenshots have turned this from a must buy to a "I probably wont buy this ever, not even for a fiver".

 

[KevinCow]

Europe only? What the fuck.

 

[Ihya]

The bloom effect in PoP for the PS2 made it look better than these high res shots.

 

[LiK]

As in that's what made the games look good and special. As in Ubi shit-ports.

:lol

i'm curious why it's Europe only tho.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

This.

Isn't the orginal PoP full of bloom etc.. so it doesn't look like this edgy polygonal looking mess??

Pretty much. I went to GameFAQs to compare the Warrior Within screen with the PS2 version of Warrior Within, and it does look like the original had some sort of filter and bloom lighting to hide the problems in the textures, particularly with the character models.

[StealthGoblin]

Suck it down. Now you know what its like when we have to either not get something at all, or wait ages. (only joking)

 

[Kafel]

awful

 

[plagiarize]

Here's a screen from the PS2 version of Warrior Within.

Superior PS2 version am confirmed.

yeah. cause the PS2 version looked like that.

i ran it on my 790 x 593 CRT too!

if you compare what look like direct grabs to bullshots, then what do you expect?

 

[Neil]

3d compatible? Why? How is that even gonna work?

If it's anything like the 3d used in Arkham Asylum, it won't :lol

 

[jett]

I don't know what were you people expecting,

This is what the PC version of the original looked like. These shots are just missing the bloomy filter.

 

[Captain Pants]

yeah. cause the PS2 version looked like that.

i ran it on my 790 x 593 CRT too!

if you compare what look like direct grabs to bullshots, then what do you expect?

I

Spoiler

insincerely

apologize for not pixel counting. That screen looks like that I remember the games looking like, so... you know... I posted it.
