Development diary ahoy!

The first Prince of Persia 3 development video diary has been made available for download on Eurofiles.

The clip gives details about our hero's outdoor environment of Babylon, showing its inspiration and creation across day and night as well as how the Prince will interact with it – all thanks to a number of storyboards, cut-scenes, conceptual sketches, gameplay footage and handy interview material with producer Ben Mattis and Olivier Leonardi, the game's artistic director.

Prince of Persia: Kindred Blades follows the plot of the Prince's return to Babylon with his love Kaileena, only to find himself an outcast in his own land and the spirit of a Dark prince is beginning to possess him. In turn, this gives you the chance to play as to different characters, both boasting unique fighting styles and weapons to mix things up with. All on top of time-shifting powers, stealth/action gameplay and wonderful decapitations, if you so wish.

Prince of Persia: Kindred Blades is due out on PC, PS2, Xbox, GameCube and GBA in December 2005.

I so want it to be good. Like the original Sands of Time was. But... 'dark'.

I want it to be like the original...

2D, side scrolling, with a 1 hour limit for the entire game, and impossibly difficult. Ah, those were the days...

Impossibly difficult, my bottom. I can finish the original PoP quite easily.

Okay, maybe I'm just stuck on where to go in level 2 >_>

And from time to time I have the uncontrolable urge to make him plummet into spikes. That's always fun.

I am, of course, talking about the 'proper' original versions and not that shameful bastardisation of the original that was cobbled into Sands of Time pretending to be the 'real' Prince of Persia. That was cack-o-la.

Didn't the original already have this (after walking through a mirror)?

Wasn't that the graphics-updated one which was on one of the consoles. The version I play is an Amiga ROM.

I think the original did have something about walking through a mirror and creating a mirror image, who you then 'fought' in the next level (although you couldn't fight them as each time you slashed them you died too. You had to put the sword away and then meet in the middle or something).

Wot no Conker-compared-score predictions yet?

ooops, sorry.

This will get 5^pi - illegitimate offspring of Conker + Halo, unless you like RPGs, in which case add 1.5, or dislike the third outings of any given IP franchise, in which case divide by 3/4 of the number you first thought of. Platform fanboi (pl. of fanboi? one sheep many sheeps?) may allocate a score of -10000 to infinity (-1 to one against) depending on their allegiance.

Don't forget to integrate over the sands of time to get the title's total revenue.
