Prince of Persia XBLA dated News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Ubisoft has confirmed to Eurogamer that Prince of Persia Classic will be next Wednesday's Live Arcade download.
"It is on the 13th, on Xbox Live Arcade," a Ubisoft spokesperson told us.
Unfortunately a price is yet to be announced.
Prince of Persia Classic is a remake of the first game in the influential platform-action series. This 1989 gem by Jordan Mechner will be brought up to date by developer Gameloft, and undergo a complete graphical overhaul.
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.
Head over to our Prince of Persia Classic gamepage for the latest trailer and screenshots.

Hey there EG staff. Both article links go to the trailer instead of trailer and screenshots.
Looks quite nice does this. I'm always a top cynic when it comes to retro gaming, but this is certainly worth a demo download. Two questions. 1. Are there checkpoints. 2. Have they dropped the time limit. The original was great, but I'm not sure I can deal with an old school approach to repetition anymore. |

Looks excellent from the videos I've seen but I'm concerned that what was a great game back in the days of the Amiga might not be now... I'd hate to ruin a great memory so I'll have to decide whether to try it... or not. With the amount of rubbish that XBLA seems to get these days, I fear for the quality of the conversion anyway... :(

Thats always the risk with nostalgia, i.e. that it turns out to be bollox :) Thats why I find it safer (and more predictable on the whole) to be cynical about retro gaming overall. |

Britesparc: Congratulations hope you had a good smoke afterward?!
Again, you dont have to buy this, if in doubt trial it out. I remember the good old amiga days with PoP, for its time it was amazing in animation and range of body movements. I also remember I really get so frustrated with repeated deaths, and never really got past the first 15 minutes and instead got sidetracked with other games on blue 4.5 disks. not sure I want to go through again the same amount of frustrations I had, If they got checkpoints on this remake, then I ll give it a go just to complete the bloody thing! |

I look forward to this one !
Talking about retrogaming nostalgia I think this is actualy the way to go : old classics updated to today's tastes. I liked a lot Ultimate Ghost'n Goblins on PSP, Mission Impossible looks nice too. Indeed, the simple port of the classics are too rude. Playing Gauntlet and Double Dragnon on XBL destroyed all my sweet memories... |

Except Nintendo 16 bit snes games for some reason Nintendo Nes games on the other hand... it's less painful having a rotweiller ravaging at your bits.
Really? Then you must have been playing some very bad games in your youth. Because firing up SMB3 or some other classic right now, gives me a better gaming experience than about 90% of all the tripe coming out these days. |

"great, but the animation doesn't look too good... "
Looks fine to me : http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?i... |

Looking very nice, but they've clearly made some serious changes to the combat, and they've subtly included some left-right scrolling.
Fingers crossed for an upgrade that doesn't piss on my memories of the glorious Atari ST version! |

I haven't played classic PoP since my Master System died on me over a decade ago. I'll be all over this regardless of the price.
