Xbox 360 PS3

Prince of Persia is back already with the same demo as before but this time in a 14 minutes video commented by the game's animation director. Must see! There is a minor (Elika) story spoiler being said between 0:40-0:50, so die-hard fans might want to mute during that time.

I added it to the news at least, I doubt it's a spoiler that takes long time into the game to discover though.

Although I really love it, I have 4 things in my mind that I don't like, 2-3 might be wrong from my side though.

1. I don't like the fact that the prince speaks "american" and don't have a accent because he is suppose to be persian. (I am not up for debate on this, so don't bother)
2. Don't like that you get to fight one enemy at a time.
3. That sword is the only melee weapon you get.
4. The game holds you hand and don't have a challenge. One enemy fight at a time, you can't die, too much guidelines with Elika.

But other than those the game seems to be awesome, just hope the later levels and all is different, like enemies to come at you like 3-4 of them at the same time, get new weapon types...etc.

Good thing they are showing the PS3 version lately because thats the version I am going with, good to see how it is running, nicely good.

The developer said they have taken out multiple enemies in battle, you only fight one enemy at a time, but each enemy you met will be more like a boss fight.

I'm not entirely sure it quite works graphically... I'd have to see it first hand to be convinced. That art is wonderful, sure, but I'm not sure how well it translates.

Meanwhile...

So you have a white-clad lady that follows you around and helps you, as well as smoke-demon monsters that come out of holes in the floor and walls. No, that doesn't sound familiar at all!

I'm actually happy that you only get 1 weapon, and you fight one enemy at a time. Makes it feel more personal, and not an RPG. Didn't know the game is coming out THIS YEAR?! SO getting it, Day 1 :D

looks great / promising. not sure though about all the "hand-holding".
i hope it`s not too "dumbed down". also not sure about the glove thing.
in the demo it seemed like an inbuilt cheat (elika). she reminds me of those powerups in oldschool shoot-em ups (these drones who follow your ship and fire at anything that moves) it`s great in especially challanging situations, but ALL the time? i dunno...
they seem to have taken the challenge out somewhat ... for the stupid, fat kids of today who can`t seem to concentrate for more than a few seconds. (prejudice rules, hehe)
being OLD(-school, errm) i like my games to be challenging.
but who knows. it`s some time until the holidays. i definitely will keep an eye out for this ^_^

I wouldn't be surprised if the "spoiler" is revealed during the game's intro. It was no big deal to me anyway.

Absolutely lame!

The previous titles had you fight like 3-4 enemies at the same time doing awesome acrobatic attacks and chain them between the enemies.
I appreciate they want each enemy to feel like a boss fight but seriously, I rather have mutlple enemies at the same time and still have them feel like a boss fight or just plain awesome combos.

Man what a downer!

Or how about a platformer where the goal is to cleans the world of oozing slime? Super ICO PoP Sunshine, anyone?

Only grip I have with this game, is the American accent.

Kinda ruins the whole...setting.

They guy acts and talks like Nathan Drake wich is..bad in a PoP game.

I'm not sure anymore about this game.
