Xbox 360 News by Oli Welsh
Ubisoft has announced that it will release a remake of the original Prince of Persia on Xbox Live Arcade early this summer.
Prince of Persia Classic is being developed by Gameloft, the French mobile gaming specialist responsible for the mobile versions of Ubi's recent Prince of Persia trilogy: The Sands of Time, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones.
The game will give Jordan Mechner's influential 1989 creation a 21st-century graphical overhaul, presenting its pinpoint-precise 2D platforming with 3D characters, environments and lighting. The effect is strongly reminiscent of the recent Prince games, and rather gorgeous, as we think you'll agree.
On top of the cosmetic changes, there will be a few new traps, puzzles and enemies thrown in to keep Prince veterans on their toes.
The original Prince of Persia gave players 60 minutes to rescue the Princess from her fate at the hands of the evil Vizier - either marry him, or die.

neat! better than just giving us an emulated version of the original with a shitty border (which gets resized instantly) and 'enhanced' graphics

I played the original to death... I've always remembered in my head completing it with 23 minutes left... but now I can't remember that's my brain telling fibs at me. I hope it's true...

Looks great but I hope they change the levels and add a lot more content than the original.
I had to play the original several times through to get in under the hour time limit and playing essentailly the same again with a graphical make over just doesn't rock my boat. Not sure the hour time limit would cut it now a days either. |

Had a quick bash at work on partnernet...Graphics are amazing! Levels exactly the same as far as I have got...Could recognise them from my old PC version where the Prince wore that gay white rompersuit...Lots more enemies from the very start...the Prince has a bigger reportoire can flip jump of walls etc...Combat is really good..controls a little lacking at times but overall very impressive

The original was awesome - running on my old 286 in EGA!! Ok, so the graphics weren't great, but the character animation/fluidity of movement was unparalleled at the time, and the gameplay was brilliant. Just be thankful they've decided not to port the old game straight across and have instead opted to redesign the graphics - that would have really sucked.

Flash back does not need any GFX changes, look at the crappy Mega CD version with those horrid 3D animations.
No it should always be those lovely simple polygons. Back to PoP, hopefully they give the option to play the original untouched. |

I was thinking "Ho-hum, played a remake on the Mega CD ages ago". And then I saw the delicious-looking eye candy from the XBLA version. Mm...eye candy.
