Just to put a downer on things, I don’t like the look of this. OK, well, it looks pretty, but what I’ve read doesn’t excite me - seems as if every iteration has stripped away more and more of what made Sands of Time great, gradually becoming this generic platformer with all the buzz words: open world, improved combat, moody hero, Japanese influences… meh.

I think Mirror’s Edge is the new Prince of Persia.

I doesn’t look like it based on the screens. I think you’ll just be looking at back drops etc. (see the pic were he’s running across the roof-tops for example).

Still SotC was more about atmosphere than scale, imo.

I hope they manage a similar ’scale’ to Shadow of the Colossus. *Still* the best gaming world ever created, for my money.

I’m excited. This is my morning excitement thing. I reckon those screens are fantastic.

Reminds me a bit of SotC/Ico in the art style on some of those pics.

If this isn’t any good I shall officially be “very cross”.

Mmm Cel Shading. Perhaps this’ll help prevent the usual UbiTearing
