"Smile!"

It’s always nice when you’re travelling home from a long period away. You start to get excited about seeing neighbourhoods you live in, sleep in your own bed and relax on your sofa in your own space.

"Just one more!"

It’s great when you start to see cities on the map that you recognise and can picture what it looks like in your head.

"Smile! That’s so good!"

It can also be good when the trip itself is quite long (eight hours five minutes, in this case) as it forces you into a situation where you can’t do much. Only what you brought what you: book, MacBook and a Nintendo DS with Final Fantasy IV.

"Haha, I love this!"

It’s often not so good when you’re stuck near someone who’s never flown before or just bought his first ever digital camera and the flashes, giggles and general tomfoolery is distracting when you’re trying to kill the Doctor on the Tower of Babil.

Prince of Persia has been on the road since E3 and it shows no sign of letting up, but that’s my journey over for now. E3, ComiCon then Leipzig Games Convention and I’m exhausted. It’s great to take the game out, show the title and speak to fans and it’s even better when the reaction is overwhelmingly positive! Each convention we have people saying how beautiful the game looks, how interesting it plays and how eager people are to play it. Great stuff!


When we were at Games Convention in Leipzig we showed a few new things: the roof run, the open world, Elika’s compass ability and we talked Trophies for PlayStation 3. There are Trophies in the PlayStation 3 version. We also released a couple of new videos: the E3 walkthrough in video format with Ben talking, explaining different things in the game and a dev diary where you can see some devteam members and see the roof run in action.


Next up for us is PAX, where you’ll see Ben on stage giving a live demo of Prince of Persia so best of luck to him and I hope you enjoy the show!
