Those were the good times.... I hope we can get a continuation to PrinceOP 2008! with all issues that bothered us fixed!

No game, and I mean NO GAME has matched the brilliance of platforming that the POP games offered.

Cant recall where i read it, but round the time the last PoP came out, Ubi said they was working on a sequal to the 08 one.

They said it TFS didn't rule out a sequel to 08, but with the amount of Prince of Persia stuff that was in Assassin's Creed 2, and now even more in Brotherhood, I'm starting to wonder where a PoP actually fits in anymore. That, plus the fact that Desmond is essentially soon a full fledged protagonist of AC would make it downright bizarre to have two wall scaling, platform jumping franchises with a quipping, identical sounding Nolan North as lead.

I mean in Uncharted and AC, I reckon Nolan North is like the Harrison Ford of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Two franchises by the same pub/dev though? That's a bit extreme.

But granted, the slower, methodical platforming of AC is more akin to that of TFS, and 08 did have a very unique groove to it that they could easily build on. The surreal environments and dream like world of 08 I found truly compelling, running along the OUTSIDE of strange stuctures, jumping and swinging at a steady, almost hypnotic rythm. I loved 08 and there's a lot they can do with it for sure, but I can't deny the overlap that's happening product wise.

AC is becoming the Forza to Prince of Persia's Project Gotham.

Both franchises have different mechanics, so I don't see why a sequel to PoP 08 wouldn't stand out.

Although having Nolan North voice both Desmond and Prince is so weird! It's like, there must be some Nolan North cameo in every Ubisoft game. Next Splinter Cell will have Nolan North be your fugitive friend who helps you off the grid. :D

720p - Made Me Laugh. It's PS3 they should make it 1080p in Stereoscopic 3D!

While I agree with most of what you said, the possibility of it actually being true does make me feel really said.

I still think they can co-exist and be totally different things. PoP doesnt have to go all free world and can be scripted and linear and I would love it to bits! It's the non breakable flow of PoP that I love so much.

I have yet to play brotherhood. THe tombs in AC2 come close to PoP but I still think Prince of Persia'a gameplay is FAR FAR superior in times of enjoyment!

Also, to be frank, I don't care much for Nolan North. Yuri Lowenthal of SoT is just as good!
