The New Prince of Persia
Navneet Prakash, May 31, 2008 0820 hrs IST
The Prince has changed by leaps and bounds, it still retains a quality to make you take notice
The New Look
The first thing you'll notice in the screenshots is the look of the game; it looks like a cell-shaded title but unlike a cell-shaded tile, this one has more depth and doesn't look like an extended Cartoon Network episode. The look compliments the artwork and truly makes the characters stand out. Also, I believe these subtle but sublime textures make the gameplay smoother.
Now, everybody loved Sands of Time, so it's not hard to imagine that people will start comparing the new POP with SOT. Ubisoft has retained some of the qualities from the previous POP games and added new elements to the new game, including a totally new storyline and a new AI partner -- so no Farah. The new AI partner called Elika will not only help you overcome obstacles but also lend a hand in combat.
She is like Alyx from Half Life 2 but hotter and more acrobatic. She can jump and reach high places like the Prince. I came across little bits and pieces of news from various forums and according to them the Prince isn't a Prince at all in the game. He is a lonely street dweller, who happens to come across some sort of magical being, and as fate would have it, is entrusted to save the world. The Prince has a totally new look and abilities. The dagger of time from the previous games will not be present in the game and a totally new artifact will accompany him. As you can see in the screenshots, he is wearing a gauntlet in his hand; this powerful artifact will assist him in combat and help me in his acrobatics as well. The main plot follows the escape of a powerful evil deity called Ahriman, who was imprisoned by his brother. Elika is a member of a former clan who were tasked with keeping him in prison, but they failed and she is the only remaining member of her clan. Although Arhiman hasn't escaped his prison completely, his evil is leaking out of the cracked prison and corrupting the land. The Prince is an adventurer and takes on the task of ridding the world of the evil that is flowing out of Ahriman's prison. The corruption that is engulfing the world will act as the challenge to the Prince. The game does not include any spikes or trap doors; instead, the corruption will take on various forms to challenge the Prince.

I am really happy that it is coming out for PC. It's so irritating these days that games are released only for consoles for the fear of piracy.

Dear Bhaskar Consoles too are pirated -- pirated games and modchips are now widely available for PSP, XBOX 360, Wii, PS2 etc Only the PS3 remains to be cracked and it is only a matter of time before it is cracked! So I do hope they don't use piracy as a reason to stop making games available for the PC! Prince of Persia is looking great by the way :) I will be waiting for this

No actually Ubisoft is using their Assasin's Creed engine for this PoP. And it is rumoured to come out in Sept or Oct 2008

Amazing trailor. Like the God Of War for the psp, the new PoP is supposed to be exclusive for the ps3 to boost up ps3 sales, unsure if we would have pc/xbox versions out !!

Official site says for 4 platforms: we're like to reiterate what platforms Prince of Persia is getting developed for: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and a complimentary title for Nintendo DS.
