Driven by envy and hatred, Ahriman spread darkness in the world, which corrupted the hearts of men and unleashed a dark substance which physically contaminated the land and the skies: the Corruption. Lethal to touch, insatiable in hunger the Corruption spread across the world, killing or changing all that stood in its path. Those who succumbed to it were killed, those who were saved by Ahriman became twisted beings tied to his service.
At the height of his power Ahriman counted his servants as legion. To most of his vassals Ahriman gave little, these men and women became mere drones, soldiers in the massed ranks of Ahriman’s armies. Their souls promised, or taken by the Corruption but little valued, these creatures have no will of their own they exist only to serve.
Among all of Ahriman’s followers only The Corrupted were permitted to keep their will. Ahriman granted these chosen ones the powers they wished for. In return the Corrupted served special tasks commanding Ahriman’s forces in the fight against Ormazd, or offering skills needed for the war. By the time Ormazd struck back there were many of these Corrupted, but as the war raged they died one by one so that when Ahriman fell, only a few remained. They were sealed into the Tree of Life trapping Ahriman and becoming his weakness instead of his strength.
In Prince of Persia, each environment will go through different stages - from totally “safe” to almost completely corrupted areas. We have developed an organic corruption which creeps through the world and makes it decay. It is a living substance that will interact with the player and challenge him.

I think the artwork is awesome, explendid work.
But... I think there’s little originality in this "corruption", because it gives the idea of being a dark clone of the Sands of Time. So, it as spread all over the world because of a mistake made by the Prince, It is mortal at contact and everyone o touch it become a slave without soul or feelings... What happens next? The prince come in contact with it and the corruption transforms is personality completely?
Lets see then ;)

Creepy.. Cool :D
Hoping that what you said will be transelated into cutscenes in the game, an intro..
Posted by DiDoFRGT10, 2008-06-20 13:00:35
Definitely reminds me of Venom, but this looks darker and more sinister. I really feel that the Corruption will be a challenge to all of us because it looks like one of the most challenging PoP obstacle yet. Great job Ubi!
Posted by SplinnterCell, 2008-06-20 14:51:25
Cool artwork and the story you guys told is quite like the Zoroastrian myths, but with a great touch of fantasy in it! Can hardly wait for more news from you! Go POP Team!

It looks like the scenery might be making a bit of a return to what we saw in Sands of Time. I enjoyed the 2nd & 3rd installment, but I always like the environments in SOT the most. These look very promising.

the game looks freakn awesome and i love the look of the game the story and the new battle system. I know you might not read this but im hoping that this game would be rated T please because i wanted to play the last 2 games of the original POP but they were rated M soo im hoping this game will be rated T and if it is it could attract the attention of parents and let their kids buy it. overall the game is looking really SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!
Posted by nuzzlebear, 2008-06-21 00:15:52
OK, this sounds really good and the artworks are really awesome too.
But one thing makes me tensed - similarity of this story with that of Sands of Time....only there's no Vizir(or is there?)...otherwise,the same mistake,same unleash of corruption(sands-in case of SoT),if the corruption touches people they become corrupted(sand monsters - SoT) and they try to block your path....
I really want to believe there is something different....in fact I would want everything is different. SoT succeeded for many reasons - one reason was definitely, originality of idea. Let's see.
But whatever...I'm anyway going to buy this game and play :) :)

I think that this PoP will redefine the game into a whole new experience than what we have played in the previous games.
I know for sure that this game will be revolutionary for gamers to play, especially with the new Gen graphics playing a role and with Elika along your side will make this game one-of-a-kind.

I HOPE THE NEW PRINCE OF PERSIA WILL BE BETTER THAN THE TWO THRONES AND NOT DARK LIKE THE WARRIOR WITHIN PERSONALLY THE TWO THRONES WAS BETTER THAN THE ASSASINS CREED AND I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW PRINCE OF PERSIA.PLEASE DONOT DISAPOINT ME MAKE IT BETTER THAN THE LAST!!!!
Posted by panos6662000, 2008-06-22 07:12:54
@POP TEAM: The new POP game will be great, I'm sure of it but please, in the future, try and create another groundbreaking game, extremely original, like the SOT series were.
All this "Corruption" thing is very outdated now and apart from the fact that we saw it in SOT in an identical manner (not to mention in other games too), I really think that the POP universe should have less "DARK" stories. I mean I love the whole "BOOK OF PERSIA" idea, it's beyond great, but again, even though you think you can tell almost any story, the myth, magic, the "1001 Arabian Nights" feeling gets lost once you depict evil in such a dark manner.
For me, Prince of Persia will always be the greatest combination between the Arabian Nights universe and the Aladdin magical feeling. I'm not saying this new game will be bad (we've hardly seen anything yet) but I really think that 1 or 2 more titles like this and the POP fans will permanently and irreversibly lose interest in the saga.
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-22 07:40:27
i can wait for this game
comon ubisoft
Posted by roroa, 2008-06-22 12:46:25
i also think the concept of corruption is more like VENOM in spiderman,but i trust that u people will not ruin this,
i definately like the prince's new version,but if acc. to the story he's more of a thief,HOW'S HE A PRINCE?
the trailer is awesome,hope that the graphics are same in the game.
I WOULD REQUEST THE DEVELOPERS THAT THEY DON'E TOTALLY CHANGE THE FEELING WHEN PLAYING ,PLEASE KEEP SOME OF THE OLD PRINCE'S TRAITS
Posted by ishu161, 2008-06-22 14:43:35
I for one, would like to see that kind man, offering to help anytime and anywhere, thinking about others rather than himself, not some arrogant thief, wondering through the land, seeking another pub to drink and stuff ... that does NOT fit the POP universe at all ...
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-22 19:24:46
The Game does look promising although i hope that if the prince transforms into something dark like in 2 and 3 he doesn't loose his health cause that'll be a huge let down for me and other POP fans.
Posted by thewraithprince, 2008-06-23 18:55:01
The Art Works are beautiful, but please think for a name of the game.
Posted by GraffiK_POP_FAN, 2008-06-25 07:50:50
yes, calling it just Prince of Persia will cause MASSIVE confusion ... and Prince of Persia 2008 does NOT FIT the game AT ALL !!!! this is not FIFA or NBA so that u can name it like this ... I understand you want to point out the fact that this is a completely different game, BUT think of another way of doing it, don't ruin the name ... you can even express this in the name itself .. like "Prince of Persia: New Beginnings" ... OK, I admit this was beyond lame, but I just wanted to make you see what I was talking about
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 12:41:27
Hi
I love Prince of Persia it is my faworite game I love it realy .
But the new part seems like th biggest shit i ve ever seen!!!
It has got noting anymore to do with the real games the Sands of Time trilogi it is only shit !!
this is no more PRINCE OF PERSIA
it is a strange kiddy shit and sucks! it suuuuuuuuuuuuucks .
ubisoft shuold have continued the old story but not create such a gay fucking peas of shit it call it prince of Persia this was my favorite game now it is a joke a bad joke
... What a nightmare oO
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 14:05:07
Hi
it s me again I have only one question how could you do such a shit
??
You made me and all people I know which loved Prince of Persia hate this new part!!! this isn t Prince of Persia this is slimsheady!!!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 14:08:31
Hi Dear Ubisoft
I love the pop trilogie...
but i think this new prince of persia game is more than shit.....
It has got nothing to do anymore with the first Trilogie...
I think you should make part 4 of the ORIGINALE trilogie.....
Posted by Kevin_D92, 2008-06-25 14:09:07
I agree completly with Kevin
he s compleetly right !!!
You should have continued the story and not ruin it with a new gay looking Prince of gayland!
and his domina bitch are you shure you want such a Prince??
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 14:12:10
Sry,but who will buy this shit game???
I have prince of persia 1,2,3 and i love this games..
i want to bye this games more than this new shit prince of persia,
Posted by Kevin_D92, 2008-06-25 14:14:19
So and what kind of weappon is this ??
he got claws like Freddy crouger!
Hes the prince of Persia and not a gay version of a Halloweenmonster!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 14:14:23
the game already tears apart a huge part of the public due to the new feel ... it may be innovating, but PLEASE stop ruining the POP universe ... anyway, what I want to ask is for a way inside the OPTIONS menu, so that we can disable most of the next-gen effects, so that low-end PCs can play it ... and by that I mean at least let us play with a 256Mb AGP videocard, 1GB ram, WinXP and 2800 MHz single core CPU ... I think most low-end users have a configuration similar to this so please, at least let us play the game using that !!! forget marketing purposes and stuff, cause no hardware company is gonna pay you as much as we will (through a very increased numbers of sales) if you'll let us play the game on our old PCs ... I mean make it OUTSTANDING with graphics and stuff, but let us disable most features so that we can at least run the game. Thank you !!!
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 15:08:10
oh and ... don't worry about piracy, cause I for one, will pay the money for the game just to show you my gratitude if you will indeed make the game run on my current PC :D
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 15:10:55
@ POP TEAM : can you please make another post here on the Developer's Blog, telling us APPROXIMATELY what to expect in terms or Minimum System Requirements ??? I mean it's early for you to say the exact computer specs we'd need, but can you please estimate a bit ??? So that we may know if we at least have a chance to play it ;) Thanks a million !!!
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 15:13:11
we didn't saw the game and its poteciality, so we should be less critical and more optimists.
but yes... im not even a bit excited for what ive seen until now :(
the trailer doesnt fit, the prince have that stupid manga/anime look, elika is too much powerfull, the story is based in the simbiote and the original SOT world...
but has i said: "we didn't saw the game and its poteciality, so we should be less critical and more optimists."
i will wait for E3, then we'll see
Posted by mornegroth, 2008-06-25 15:21:38
yeah, I'll wait for E3 too ... I really wanna see how they explain the origins of Elika as she's like the daughter of some god ... like Hercules was ... again, I really wanna see how they explain her appearance AND I really really want to see some gameplay
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 15:36:56
@ POP TEAM : do we dare hoping that you will release the E3 demo to the public ??? you do know that we are DYING to play even a sloppy prototype version, as long as it keeps our hunger down :D
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 15:38:12
You know I am greatfull for the wonderfull Prince of Persia games you made put I am sad too becaus I thougt
you will make a fourd part of The storry and not a completly new storry with a new Prince and Woman on his side in manga style :[ This isn t the game I love .
Now Prince of Persia will be one of the games people remember for one season ,but the old parts wer
more then only for some time I finished every part of Prince of Persia 94 times and I am still playing them some times its the one game I stil play .
I don t play other games anymore ,
It is the one reason for me not to sell my Playstation !
And now I see this new part and in a second I became angry and disappointed
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 16:26:18
Hi Ubisoft i agree with WarriorIT,because in this new game the prinz or farah are complet other lookoing people...and it doesn´t fit with the chars from Pop TSOT/WW/TTT .
I think the grafik is good,but you should use the carakters from the trilogie charakters
mfg
Posted by Kevin_D92, 2008-06-25 16:31:06
Oh I forgot to my mind The best part
was Warrior Within the sands of time part was great but tHE PRINCE EVOLVED
him self. He became a Warrior the greatest Warrior and it was not too dark!!!!!!!!!! It was the Evil part
the prince was hunted by an evil and dark beast the Dahaka.
this part had to be dark
otherwise it would had lost his credebillity. so the next should be at least as dark as the Warrior Within part.
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 16:44:14
I definitely agree ... the characters are very cheesy ones, looking like the bad dudes from Warcraft, etc. they are lame and have NOTHING (trust me, NOTHING) special ... furthermore, the whole new look for the prince ... sucks big time ... we want to see a kind man, sacrificing himself for the ones he loves, not some arrogant loner who can't wait to draw his sword ... come to think of it, I want to quote the prince from SOT: "I will win my father's pride not by killing, but by being the first to find the Maharaja's treasure vault and the wonders within" ... in case you've missed the point, I just wanted to remind you of the kind of person the old Prince was ;) and since you have Elika now, at least bring back the love for us, in the style of Prince + Farah ... u know, endless conversations about pretty much boring stuff BUT that was the magic of it !!! ( I now remember the time I've spent in the Library while I was trying to solve the puzzles and Farah was reading love poems, commenting lines with me over great distances :) )
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 17:02:49
That was really really one of the greatest interactions beetween the Prince and Farah, i just loved it!
I hope this new one get interections like those but... even if it get that we will never feel the same thing, we wouldn't get the same smile; because its different, it just another prince... not the one we love and know.
I heard Ben Mattes say that he stands "by it a 100%" (speaking of the controversial changes in the game), whell... i think a lot of fans will be very dissapointed with this POP4 and with Ubisoft Montreal.
Let's wait and see
Posted by mornegroth, 2008-06-25 19:19:07
I, for one, am VERY disappointed with this ... and Ubisoft should READ our messages cause most of us hate the new look of the game and if they neglect our opinion, they will be the ONLY ones with a long face, seeing the game had very low sales number ... so, Ubisoft: hear what the public says, learn from your mistakes while there's time cause it's no use if you do so after the game's released
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-25 19:55:45
Kakolookiyam yours is the first commant I ve read , with which
I can completly agree with .
The Prince is a great Warrior
and not a villain!
his style would be better vor one of his enamies because he look like a crewmaster from the second part now!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-25 21:26:34
I think they should work for a new titel zb..prince of persia 4....
and not a new pop game,because i´ve played pop,the first..I and ale had play this really good game more than 5 years.and we love this game....not the new...we think...they destroyed us favourite games...than the new is really shit....mfg Kevin

"I would say this game is more true to the magic of Sands of Time than either Warrior Within or The Two Thrones. And I was the producer on Two Thrones. It was my intention to bring the trilogy back in the direction of Sands of Time, which was just spectacular. For this game, we're doing that even more."
-Producer Ben Mattes from Eurogamer Q&A/Interview
From what I’ve seen and read about the game I think they are doing a fine job of accomplishing this goal. I make no further statements at this time.
Posted by KnightRevan, 2008-06-25 22:24:36
well then let's hope they will TRULY focus on the SOT aspect, and not on the WW feel of it ;)
Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-26 06:21:33
am I the only one who thinks the new Prince looks like a ninja warrior from Warrior Within ??? I really hate that ... take a look:

Posted by Kakolookiyam, 2008-06-26 08:32:12
Yes youre right....in the original trilogie...he looks like fantastic....cool clothes,and he looks like a men,but in this nwe prince of persia he looks like a gay person....
Posted by Kevin_D92, 2008-06-26 11:24:23
I think the right words are "deserted anime character" ... definitely not a figure who'll make people say "HEY !!! IT'S THE PRINCE OF PERSIA !!!"

Kakolookiyam,
you are completly right he looks like one of his nija enemies! Is he under cover ??? ^^
AM I the only one who likes the second part I like the Warrior Within Prince he s a real Warrior the first
I saw since now Kratos from God of War included !!!! I like SOT ,too and want an other part like this but don t kreate a kiddy game with so much light that we get blinded !! in a game with such enamies you need some darknis ore you
loose your credebilety!!!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-26 20:28:27
A lot of the visual style of the Corruption reminds me, of many things, but most prominently how it acts as a strange mass like the Dark Water in 'Pirates of Dark Water'.
I loved that show, and its seems like a jacked up thing to go up against in POP. By now means is this bad, its actually making me want this game more than I already do.
Posted by BigwaveDave, 2008-06-26 20:40:28
OH and I forgot, don t repeed the storry!!! continue the storry please.
It s tooooooo early to make a reemake!!!!
I want a Prince of Persia not an
Thief of Persia and he is NO NIJAAAAAA!!!
and The enamies should look like
sand beasts not like Warcraft warlook slaves ore like Jins!!
don t copy skins and styles from
other games we want his real enamies the guardiens of the Island of Time and the sandmonsters of the first part!
And I miss the Dahaka!!
Let him come back time without guardien is impossible in the moment in wich kailina was killed
he has to be created again!
no Sand no Dahaka but the sands are ther let your new enamie Ahriman find a way to get the sands back and control time
and thePrince rescue Kailina
and beet the Dahaka agin but this time with speed kills and new attacks and weappon !!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-26 20:42:58
OH OH OH
And LET HIM FIND THE PLACE WERE THE
DAHAKA WAS CREATED!!!!!!!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-26 20:43:56
Don t think bad of me , I love Prince of Persia it s the one game I still play,
there is no other videogame I play at the moment I aam no playing Warrior Within the 94th time and I still enjoy it like I did the first time
I enjoy every part of the sands of time trilogy like this!!!
but Warrior Within is my faworit becaus it shows what a REAL MAN,
a WARRIOR is able to do he got the will power to survive the the Dahaka for seven years ,to reach an unknow island ,the island of time !! he got the will power to kill the guardiens of the whole island ,to activate the two towers
to beet the empress of time two times!!!
To beet the GUARDIAN OF TIME the DAHAKA and to beet the time its self !!
to rewange his fate ,TO BEET DESTENY!!!
.... THIS IS THE PRINCE
.... HE IS THE FIRST, REAL, WARRIOR
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-26 21:01:10
The FIRST AND ONLY!!!!
REAL *WARRIOR*

ok WarrioriIT, i understand youre angry with it, but...
you said some things that doesnt fit, like the returning of the dahaka and that things, you should read a text i've posted in the Discussion Thread, its this one:
its the one before the last one.
read it and see if you agree with it ;)
Posted by mornegroth, 2008-06-26 21:45:38
Ok you re right!
But I am still dispointed with what I saw since now!-_-
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-27 09:19:47
I think if they make a 4th part of PoP
without sands of time and a prince
who looks like his old enamies
it wouldn t be any more Prince of Persia
it would be Assassiens creed ore
something other but I hardly think I would never by a Prince of Persia game without sands of time !
its like God of War without Gods ore like a FIFA game without football ! you still have the players but you loose the sense .
you loose the special of the game
you loose the reason why people love the game !
even if you keep the charakter of
the old Prince but a new
situation will change him too
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-06-27 09:39:40
What's with the negative comments?! Need I remind you, that the FRANCHISE CONTINUES, albeit without the Sands of Time trilogy? The Prince could fight the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause for all I care, I'll get the game as long as my computer can handle the requierments. The one stupid thing they can do is leave the game without a name, cuz people won't know how to call the new trilogy.

there's no PS2 support cause of the technology ... a PS2 will never be able to interpret this kind of game ... it's a different architecture. But yeah, I also hate this "next gen" thing and the fact that we need high system requirements (or new consoles) will decrease their sales by at least 20-30% ... they'll see

be cool ;)

i say just "wow...."
Posted by pips33, 2008-07-08 03:30:55
god damn, everyone is so negative about this game. just back off!!
even if this game is similar to sands of time, there will be a million things that are different...and for one there isn't even a daggar!!
we dont know that its the princes fault that the corrupted are let lose. and the game will be 100 times better than what anyone else could produce.
i dont understand why people are making so many speculations about this game. saying that its shit and people wont ever buy it because the prince looks different! ! !
ofcourse the prince will look different, it is another story, it is ubisofts choice if they want to make a prince that looks slightly like a manga character, it is also their choice if they want to briung elika into the story, who gives two craps if she is to powerful, maby the story will also include something about her power or her origin.
either way, no one has seen more than a couple of videos and pictures that dont really represent the game. dont forget that this game is still in production and things will change, the name will change. the appearance of characters could change, but i dont see why they should. it is okay for things to change.
man i was sad when the trilogy of prince of persia ended. but it ended well and im glad they aren't continuing with that story, if they continued to make games following that story line it would ruin my memory of the series and people would get bored of it.
therefore things have to change. deal with it and stop posting childish comments about how shit this game is going to be and just wait until you can actually see more of the game in order to judge. at the moment you have probably seen like 0.1% of this game and therefore dont know one thing about this game.
it could be completly different from sot, it could be similar - wait until you have seen more of this game to make harsh comments and decisions.
on top of that, most people who comment saying it will be shit and 'all their friends think its shit to' sound like their about 10 years old and shouldn't be playing this game anyway.
@pop team:
the game looks good, i like the gauntlet, i think its always good to have some sort of artifact or item that boosts your abilities, it keeps the game interesting. Of what i have seen so far of the game and enemies, they look detailed and interesting.
i must admit that the picture above me of the corrupted looks a bit like venom, but that is awsome!!
i'm sure this game will be awsome as have all of your other games, not only prince of persia games.
im also glad that the prince has changed, he was getting soft after meeting fahra (cant remember how to spell her name) :P
either way, i will buy this game and add it to my prince of persia collection as a new story in the book.
thanks for continueing production of these sorts of games.

OK -_- 1st all pop parts had videos whiches were verry similer to the gameplay the prince moves (norm moves )
like way of walking ore jumping were similare to the trailers and movie clips ! and this game hahahaha is such a kiddy shit you said your glad that the storry finished ! ^^ aha ! ^^ you nerver wanted a part with his son ? the new prince? whoes fate is his vathers! who has to change his fate ,too. a new warrior an other storry , new fighting sistem new places but the feeling of popsot
would be back!!! we would have again a prince who s adventures are a bit like 1001 arabien nights
storrys ! and this warrior could rise to an real WARRIOR to!!! maybe in a great war between persia and an other kingdom! and
be get to do with the sands to ore
some other magic but not a kiddy game whiches grafic seems like the
one from final fantasy ore kingdom hearts ore a bit of heavenly swords !! oh and I bought MGS4 and Assassin s Creed! Assassins Creed is boring and seems like THE NAIN CHAR "ALTAIR" is the brother of our new kiddy Prince they are bouth not able to fight like WARRIORS! only like bitches and
their style is similary !
oh but MGS4 is perfect absolutly PERFECT a perfect anding for MGS
! and the maker of Mgs Hideo kojima is not a fool like our friends from ubisoft ! to invent a new game new storry new chars new grafic style and new kinds of enamies and than call it MGS!!!
(Metal Gear Solid)
but our ubi.friends did! -_-
OK too sum up ,
this is a kiddy game with kiddy comic grafic style ,it seems like
a chinies coppy of the real PoP! and its going to be boring!! this is kingdom hearts ! i think my 10years old cousin will may play it but noone whos older than 12 years will play it !I would wonder if this game would be releesed in germany and be not llowed for kids under 6 years!
oh fuck I am still loaded with hundreds of emotions because of this perfect historical ending for a epic game, a legandery saga
oh äh I still love PoP more than MGS but PoP disapointed me extreamly and MGS4 has become only
perfect with his more than only holliwood storry !
PoP is better ! PoP sop is better than MGS 1and 2 PoPWW is better than MGS 1, 2, 3 and 4 and PoP TT is better than all MGS parts ,too!
But PoP is only an other part like Prince of Persia 3D the firsts parts of PoP were good but than came The 3D game THAN came the sot trillogy ! and now an other part like 3D WILL COME THAN PEOPLE WILL WAKE UP AGAIN AND CREATE US A NEW
PERFECT POP PART!!!!!!!

I’m not sure if you are intentionally trying to start a fight or if you are really that angry about what you’ve seen. If it’s that later, step away and take several long deep breaths. I’m not going to address all of what you wrote mainly because we know so little about the game, and you seem to be jumping to a lot of negative conclusions based on little information.
“This game […] is such a kiddy [expletive deleted]”
I’d kindly like you to prove this statement. First define what you classify as a kiddy game then tell me how this Prince of Persia game fits that criteria. I’m honestly curious why you think this way, and have hope that this will allow me to understand your thought process.
As for the part about continuing the PoP SOT series, why? I mean they completed that Prince’s tale, what’s the point of going back and dealing with him or his son? Why should they limit themselves by being saddle with everything from that story when they resolved it in an enjoyable manner? Why do you wish them to tell you the same story they already told you, in the same setting, with a slightly different protagonist?
Also in my view the prince isn’t some killing machine. He doesn’t have to bath in the blood of hundreds just to prove he’s a man. Heck I knew I’d like the prince during that moment in PoP SoT when he said that he would earn his fathers favor not by killing but by being the first to enter the treasure vault and discovers the wonders within. These are not the words of a man determined to kill everyone in sight or wage wars across the world. The Prince rejected that line of thinking so wonderfully in The Two Thrones, and yet you keep talking about his fighting skill as if that’s all he is, and has to offer.
Also, just so we’re clear the prince in SoT was raiding (Stealing) something valuable that didn’t belong to him. So the idea of this current Prince starting as a thief/adventurer really isn’t that far outside the norm for the PoP universe.
As to graphics, we’ve not seen the game in motion, but from the stills I don’t see the similarity to the games you listed. Also, this new prince being “Kiddy” doesn’t make sense to me. He’s an experienced adventurer who constantly blows his money on wine and women. What about that sounds like a role model for children? And how can you say anything about how the new Prince fights when you haven’t seen one game play video with him engaging his enemies? If you’ve seen such a video floating around please send me a link.
The last part I’m going to leave alone because you essentially start ranting and I’m honestly not sure what your trying to say beyond ‘This game sucks and I hope it fails so they make the game I want them to make.’ If you could clarify your statement I would be most appreciative.
I am currently 28 years old. I’ve been with the PoP series since The Sands of Time, which I loved far more than Warrior Within. At present I have every intention of picking up the new Prince of Persia at the earliest opportunity. I understand that you have a different opinion than mine, but your constant negative remarks, especially when we’ve seen nothing of the actual game play, baffle me. It’s like the PoP team at Ubisoft kicked your dog or some such.
I would encourage everyone to step back, and wait patiently for some real information to surface. Perhaps some will like it and others will hate it, which is fine, but I think we should at least give the game a chance before we deride it as terrible.

First stealing is one think and reach
the tresure of an kingdom you are right now destroying are to different thinks you can be a little thief ore
a warrior who wants to earn honor becaus you bet the guardians of the tresures and survived the deadly traps you reacht the place a way no one other could and alllllllll alone ! second I DON T THINK HES just a killing mashine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but I mean with leal warrior the explanation the prince gave his evel selv in TT while playing!!
not to resolf everithing with the sword ! BUT don t forget a game like assassin s creed ubisoft already made the prince is a warrior atair is a assassin ore thief but don t you know the difference between 4exemple alibaba and the prince ?? hes a thief and can t fight -_-only escape ! into a placeonly he and his man can reach (what a hero and so courages ) but the prince was alone with a women (farah) and foght against an intear kingdom full of monsters and a evil mage!!
ore destany and in invincebal,imortal and for everyone who has no watersword INDISTRUCTABLE BEST!!!!!!! oh and his own kingdom fulll of monsters
meany times alone ! not like heros like kratos from GOW ore snake from MGS ore Altair from Assassins creed he s the first and own hero i know who bet time an enamy like the dahaka and in itear island full of monsters and extreamly deadly traps ALONE like the song says "I stand alone inside " from Godsmack ( the BAND) oh and I dont want them to make an other POP part they ca make an other but similar game ,but than change name
you cant finish the MGS saga the storry of an agent and than make a new part call it Mgs ,too and let the main char be killer like hitman this are two different thinks ok? warrior and thief are two different things!!!!!
oh and this is 4 exemple a fucking kiddy game because the moves work only in an paralelunivers with other Phisikal laws k? the video is made with attaks of prince and elika which cant work like when he jumps and his sword goes into the
enamies boddy while spinning around him the sword doesen t get out ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^?? ore this spinning trick with elika in the air is he gay ore something is he a ballerina he s old attacks had style and were cool hes new ons are only phisikaly impossibel and gay oh and this is only one think why it is a kiddy game hahaha only kiddys could think that this moves would work ore are cool xD hahahaha oh and the enamies look like WOW enamies like the WOW demens!! and he like his fight trainer was one of the ninjas from
WW ! hahaha he looks ok 4 A THIEF BUT NOT 4A PRINCE!!!! call it thief of persia ore what ever but this isnt a prince prince of thiefs OK but not of Persia hm?
oh and an other example you can t make GTA5 and let it be a game like grand turismo only because there is the word auto in GTAuto
! so dont call a thief prince of persia ^^!
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-07-10 17:27:47
oh and I say this before the gamplay videos come out because IHOPE that maybe anyone who has the opportunety
to change something reads this I say ok to a prince of Persia part for 12years olds but not to one 4 6 years olds this is to much !and I say OK to a new storry but pleas
Prince of Persia was always something special but this looks
like one of this games like Kingdomhearts ore assassins creed (a bit only) ore like an other one of this sensless good beats bad games without real storry ore dialogs like "I am the great Prince of Persia (^^) I will fight against the evil shadows since me body turns to dust " ore like other frases classical heros like
the knight of an old film says to a monster before the fight such sensless shit ruins games its a tippical good against bad game !
I am the hero this is my alie and we will safe the world bla bla this is like soooooooooo many other game storrys BORING and I say this to make clear all PoP fans I know wont by such a game so ubisoft you better create a good PoP game ore you will lose many
fans ! This is the reason why I write so much !If I would love this game so much I would never write all my WORRYS here on this site!! trhis is only becaus I love all three parts so much !
and they called it PoP4
aha
but after the first three parts for Pc after PoP3D they walled PoPsot part 1 ww part 2 and tt part 3 now they start a new storry and call it part 4 ???????
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-07-10 17:44:06
oh and I dont want to fight with otheer PoP fans I am only sad sorrowfull angry (full of RAGE)and dont want the new part of my faworite game become a part like PoP3D -_-
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-07-10 17:48:09
oh and why is the time date which indicates at what time i posted the comentar always wrong I posted yesterday after 1:30 o clock and there is written something with 23:..o clock ^^?? other time zone?
Posted by WarrioriIT, 2008-07-10 17:51:01
Okay, I think this will be the last thing I write until we see some actual game play videos.
Just for clarity sake the game is just titled “Prince of Persia”.
Theft is theft. You can dress it up however you like, you can say he had to defeat a guardian, or bypass fiendish traps. It was still stealing. Now our new Prince is a thief/adventurer, and you seem to ignore the adventurer part. We don’t know what obstacles this Prince has faced to get where he is or live like he does. The evidence seems to suggest that he is a master swordsman, and a cunning rogue. As for honor, the SoT Prince mentions honor in a fairly bitter manner at the end of Sand of Time. His quest for honor and glory had brought ruin and death to his world.
When we first met the SoT Prince, he was an untried fighter. All those great things you point too, he accomplished later. Our new Prince is not a rookie, and who knows what he’ll grow into. I mean, we find him engaged in a struggle against deity that can turn the very world against him. All he has to rely on is himself and a woman he barely knows. Sound familiar? You’ve come down on Ubi and the new Prince without knowing who is, what he’s capable, or what he could become.
Now you claim this is a Kiddy game because the moves are physically impossible. That doesn’t make any sense to me. I’ve played a ton of mature, engrossing games where the characters do things no human could do. Then there’s the fact that you are basing this off a pre rendered cinematic. You have no idea how he actually fights, and yet you want to condemned him for it, again this argument doesn’t make sense to me.
You have continually complained about things you haven’t seen. You’ve made assumptions with little or no basis and have proven nearly unwilling to even adopt a wait and see attitude. I suggest that you back away from the computer, and take several deep breaths. Clear your thoughts of your own assumptions and prejudices and approach this game with an open mind. You might just find yourself enjoying the game if you weren’t so hell-bent on hating it.

Ok lets see how it will become! I go on holliday so I will have a look on everithing again when I come back !
Oh but I would like to read your opinnion about the new video , the
infos it gives to us and I would like to know if you read the storry of the new part ,too

the corruption looks a like venom from spiderman... not that original but its still awesome :)
Posted by ddaanaan, 2008-07-12 12:04:41
I tried reading your comments warriorT however, i got completly lost because i could not understand a word of it. im not that bad with slang, however when it changes from slang, just to a load of crap, i give up on it.
from what i have read, you are making decisions about what the game will be like, even though Ubisoft are keeping alot of this game under the covers. seeing as they predict this game will be out in the holidays on 08, im geussing that they are quite far into developement, however they want it to be a surprise.
so basically your creating arguments from your own imagination, that have no reliabilty.
anyway, it is your choice how you want to approach this new game. I suggest with an open mind. Either way i am looking forward to its release, and will buy it, heck, if i dont like the game after i complete it once, i will sell it on. either way i dont want to miss out on this
Posted by narojo, 2008-07-12 22:49:26
Man this really pisses me off. Over 50 % of the comments in this blog are all negative ones. The game isn't even out yet and you've got people saying it's shit. Well sorry to piss on your parades but stop being so selfish and take into account that just because you don't like it so far, doesn't mean that I won't like it either.
I've been a fan of POP since it first started. I remember when I was like 12 or 13 when SOT came out and it was the coolest thing in the world. Then WW came out and I loved that one too, then over a year later I beat TTT in 4 days, the only thing I hated about TTT(and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people hated this too) was that you were stuck with a dagger for the entire game. I still hate that actually. But the point I'm trying to make is, I'm 16 now and I'm still a huge fan of the POP series. This game could suck and I'll still be a huge fan.
You guys have got to realize that the Developers at Ubi can't cater to all your needs. "I want this, I want that, why does the Prince looks like this, this is gay! Change this now!" STFU !! If you guys want certain things in a POP game then go and get a job with the POP development team. Oh whats that? They won't hire your sorry lame ass because your 35 years old and living in your mother's basement without even a high school level of education to your name? You seem surprised that they wouldn't hire you. I'm so sick of reading "I wanna see a nice prince that helps people!" Well people you aren't going to get that this game because this one has to do with his past. I've heard the rumored title is "POP : The ghosts of the past" or something with the past in it. He's a selfish,arrogant boy in this game. You could see the arrogance of the Prince in SOT at certain times. Even in TTT I found that the Prince had a certain arrogance within his humour. I understand and respect the fact that Ubi went back to show us the Prince's roots. I'd honestly prefer to see how it all started instead of playing a forth installment to the SOT trilogy. Yes the corruption story lines have been beaten to death, but the thing everyone is missing is that Ubi will find a way to make the story still remain interesting. They said in the new Speed art that it has to do with the battle between the God of good and the god of evil or whatever. Well the SOT trilogy had to do with Good vs. Evil and it was a smash success. If it isn't broken then there is no need to fix it. Anyways this will be an extremely long comment and I doubt anyone will read this. Hopefully some of the Ubi team reads it and adresses what I just stated. Or it would even be nice to see some of the people who are bashing the game already to read this and at least except what I am technically preaching in this super long comment.
Wait until the game is released and make your judgment. If they release a demo remember that it is just rough, nothing to fancy and it most definitely won't do it justice. From there you will either hate or love it. It's your opinion, your entitled to it, but if no one wants to hear it, then don't say it please.
Posted by Geezus_dylan, 2008-07-14 03:32:38
i read it all lol.
im the same age as you, and i feel exactly the same way about the pop trilogy, im hoping that this game will be amazing to.
i really hate the fact that everyone is saying they hate everything about this game, even know we only know like less than 1% about this game.
people say that hate this game but in actual fact, all they know about is 3 characters, and the theme (corruption).
about this theme.
this theme may sound similar to SOT, however there are aspects about it that make it very different. the corruption is actually alive, which the sands wasn't - the sands were just a magical material that took form once it infected someone.
this corruption is of living origin. this corruption actually challenges the prince, whereas in SOT, the sand only challenged the prince once it took form.
as the person above me stated, this theme is a fight between two gods, and not something that the prince has caused. and i personally believe that this is a good view to come in at.
IF THE PRINCE WAS A WONDERFUL LITTLE BOY THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE A GAME ABOUT IT. ITS NOT GOING TO BE LIKE GRAND THEFT AUTO BUT INSTEAD OF SHOOTING PEOPLE YOU SAVE THEM. GET OVER IT!!!!
HATERS - WAIT UNTIL THIS GAME COMES OUT BEFORE YOU CALL IT CRAP!!!!!!! GIVE THE UBI TEAM A BREAK. IF YOU CONTINUE LIKE THIS THEN THEY WONT PRODUCE ANY NEW POP GAMES.
It is kind of nice to be able to actually kill something made of tissue instead of just sand.... hehe
Posted by rdsjr2389, 2008-07-15 06:07:26
well thank god that someone agrees with me. I've been following the game quite closely since the pic leaks last year and now that I'm finally seeing things come together, the more excited I'm getting. It's the middle of summer so therefore I have no life and I am following along with E3 and guess what I found....an friggin' E3 exclusive POP trailer. I'm glad to see that they're bringing new life to the series. It's about time that they shine some light on the Prince's past. They colours and the prince's movements in this game look to be much brighter and fluid then the last 3 games ( THANK YOU UBI FOR THAT!! :D) soo anyways here is the trailer. It's orgasmic.
whats with all the retarded people with mental issues and not to mention spelling issues, moaning about a game thats not even out, you can't compare the sands of time trilogy to the original prince of persia games, so why do people expect to be able to compare the new games to the old ones, the style and direction of the original 3 prince of persia games are nowhere near the same as for the sands of time trilogy, so instead of whining like a little baby, give the game a chance, and make a decision whether you want to buy it or not, when you can see the full picture, and not a few screen shots and videos to decide on

Absolutely phantasmic artwork. Bigger and badder than the Dahaka, I can't wait.

Cant wait. Hoping that you get to be chased by this organic Corruption like in the Warrior Within.

Ok the last trailer made me mad!
It s clear for me now that PoP 4 will be a gay kiddy game and have a bad grafik like they showed now
I am now compleeeeeeetly hating ubisoft! I bought assassins creed and was disapointed and now PoP4! PoP4 has a wors grafic than PoP sot it can t be anything other than shit. you all saied wait since
they show us the first gameplay
videos -_- now I saw the new video and it was wors than everything I did expackt!!
I think most low-end users have a configuration similar to this so please, at least let us play the game using that !!! forget marketing purposes and stuff, cause no hardware company is gonna pay you as much as we will if you'll let us play the game on our old PCs. tower defense

The game has so much nice collection of artworks. The venom denotes a horrible figure for the masses. The new version is awesome. alivemax mlm
