Prince of Persia - Trailer

9 (9 ratings)

Quite the whimsical trailer, this, nicely contrasting the fluidity and brutality of the Prince's new world. Beautiful.

9/10/08   Duration: 2' 03"

This looks a lot like an action packed Ico.

Looks aces! Loved Sands of Time - one of my favourite games ever - but not really enjoyed the others as much.

Hope this is a return to form.

Thought that was a very nice trailer.

Animation looks excellent.

My god that music is dire! Wish they could've stuck with Sćglópur from the last trailer.
Looks absolutely amazing though

Well, that proves that it looks nice in slow-motion...

The music wasn't _that_ awful! It beats the crap generic nu-rock guitars any day.

I'm still worried about the voice talent. I really hope the Prince doesn't have an American accent; that's just wrong! They could always take a chance and give him (bear with me while I shock the world) a middle eastern accent, you know, like the actual Persians? I think asking the whole thing to be in Arabic might be going a bit far, but at least a few proper regional accents would be nice.

@ Dr What - yeah, we've talked about Princey's lame accent before; I believe EG ran a news story where someone at Ubi said it was American only for 'familiarity', or some such bollocks.

Also, perhaps more worrying than the accents so far is the godawful script.

Anyway, it looks potentially pretty good, although a shameless rip-off of other games from the last few years. I'm still a bit sceptical though, as I've felt each new PoP game has been significantly inferior to the previous one.

Now when I frist saw the new PoP I thought it looked bad. But that looks creative, beautiful and fun. And Ico comparisons? oh PLEASE shut up. That second character really helps and iteracts with you, much much more than dragging round that irritating useless wet bint Yorda.

The song isn't great, but it's pretty good, even if completely out of place in this trailer. Ubi should have published an action-packed trailer with ear-splitting heavy metal - then there would be no complaints at all.

The track is Breathe Me by Sia - great artist, good song...just probably not appropriate here. It was used to great effect on the last episode of Six Feet Under. I expect that was the vibe Ubisoft were going for - unfortunately they overestimated their target audience, judging from the cultural philistinism expressed above.

Yeah, I often get familiarity confused with xenophobia appeasing too.

The music wasn't that bad ffs. Not one for my iPod, but it worked at times as we saw some pretty vistas in slowmotion.

Though it did kind of feel like they had seen that AC trailer with Richard Ashcroft singing (which everyone whined about at the time too) in it and wanted some of the same moody action.

Loved the music. Very atmospheric and kind of mangaish just like the art style. GOTY candidate imo.

Looking good! A definite improvement on recent incarnations. Bit more of an SOT feel to it.

Looks like the most artistically beautiful videogame since Okami, hope it returns to the quality of Sands Of Time.
