post release material could allow them to design it around customer feedback from the full game (unless its a 'chop from full game to sell at later date' scenario) interested to see how this turns out, if they keep the charm from sands of time and the puzzly platforming then I'm happy |

I'm really looking forward to this game. IGN's video preview looked excellent!
I liked the sound of the structure too. The game takes place in an open world, you tackle the "levels" in whatever order you see fit. But bosses unleash a signature trap into the world, so multiple play throughs can, in theory, change the experience based on what trap was unleashed and where. Once an area has been cleared of corruption all these orbs appear to collect too, which you can use to upgrade the chicks magic ability, which opens up secret areas. It's out in a couple of weeks, and play.com have a really nice looking exclusive case. |

Good point, never thought of it that way. I'm still sceptical of course. They didn't take on board critisism for Sands of Time, and the sequels (whilst still good) weren't as good. If this content is going to be big, stick it on a disc. I'd buy that. That's the way we used to do it, releasing games on disc, which makes me think the only reason they'd do it as DLC is so you can't resell. Gits.

I imagine that will be one of the overarching reasons for it. But calling them gits because they want people to buy their game and not have retailers make a fortune off resales... sounds understandable to me! |

Famously, the new instalment adopts a flashy 'next-gen cel-shaded' visual style, one Mattes believes will be "copied in the coming years".
Right, so any game in the future that has cel shading will be considered to be copying this game?!! Yes, because Prince of Persia 2008 invented cel shading; didn't you know?! I'm massively sceptical of this game; other than the art style I'm not at all impressed, and I wasn't won over by the demo at the EG Expo. C'mon Ubisoft - convince me this is worth my forty notes. |

Also, anyone spot the unsubtle hint that this is intended to expand into another trilogy?

"Or (crazy idea) just make the game. Planning new stuff? Delay the game, put it in. Offer us "significant value" on the disc. "
Stop complaining. 12+ quality hours is significant value. I dont want games to be longer. Its better to have shorter games with higher quality. |

Fuck hunting down collectibles. Ubisoft are the worst when it comes to things like this. Assassin's Creed and Naruto are typical examples of games which have hidden objects that will make you kill yourself unless you use a guide from the very beginning.
Other than that, can't wait for this, and DLC ftw. |
