Ubidays for me had moments of elation mixed in with frustration, although not in equal measure.
My elation came, obviously, from the fact that the game was so well received even though we’re being extremely careful about how much we show and discuss. The artistic direction of the game is so far stealing the show, but I can’t wait to see what people say when they actually get hands on time with Elika, combat, and our acrobatics system in general.
The frustration literally stems directly from the above point – so far we’re only hinting at certain elements (i.e. Elika) and I really _want_ people to know more. It is very hard for me to hold back and be coy about certain features and core elements of the game when they clearly motivate me a great deal. Restraint has never been my strong point.
Now that I’m back in the office I have a nearly single-minded focus on making sure that the E3 demo blows people away and wins us some ‘best in show’ awards. Six weeks…

This game is going to be amazing. Since it uses the Scimitar Engine, it should demolish competition since Assassin's Creed was recieved greatly (by the open minded gamers, not the ones comparing it to GTA4 and the likes), even though (in my point of view) the creators probably used that game as a test subject for this baby. Assassin's Creed had the best graphics for any game created yet, it was the most realistic invention, thanks to Ubisoft Montreal. I just can't wait to see what those people are gonna show us next. I've always looked at Ubisoft as the lead inventor for video games, since most of the other games are just polished re-runs of older games. I mean Ubisoft has variety. The POP SOT had introduced the ability to control time within a game, POP WW introduced Free-Form Combat, which was heavily focused on within the game, and POP TT built on multiple character gameplay, while still keeping the original platforming elements intact. And through the teaser, I can see that the lunatics working behind the scenes at Montreal [:)] are really popping the lid. I mean arcade-style one-on-one fighting within a Sandbox game that constantly changes depending on the way you play? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS ON? That's like GTA + MK + A standard Ubisoft "New Gameplay Element" = Prince of Persia. I love your guys' work, keep it up, can't wait for this one.

this should be awesome. Considering the fact that its a clean slate they can tottaly remake the series while keeping all the stuff we love.

In the new POP I notice that the new prince out fit looks awesome.But he had a methal left hand and a new scar that I never saw from the previous POP game, when the game comes out will game show how he got his left hand methal, and how did he get that scar.
at least can u tell us what was the theme song or music for the E308 trailer of Prince of Persia?? Plz i need to know it sounded awesome.

I was woundering that since the people who is resposible for the prince of persia games,are they going to coutinue with the next gen prince of persia games like last time?
At the end of POP TT it seemed like the story was over. The Prince was going to live out the rest of his life with his love, Farah. I'm just wondering where the story will pick back up and how.
