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!

I love it.
Which graphic card is good for this game? ATI or nVida?

Hi UbiSoft team,
I really like the art and dynamics of this game; it's close to perfect. However, I think the flying over the air thing and the sword's lightening effect have ruined the game. It'd be great if the game follow (or at least stay close) to the law of physics so that the gameplay is "more" mature. I really love the art and graphics of this game but the flying and lightening thing just make it "feels" like a street figher / X-men game. Would you consider removing these "over exaggerated" elements from the game? I really want to get this game but I know these "street fighter's" like elements will turn me down for the game play. Your time/consideration is appreciated.

hi team
prince of persia look nice, I really love the art, but I think that the movements just aren't smooth enough.
I think it's ok to have unreal movements, but there should be some kind of perceptable underlieing coherent physical set of rules.
The jumping looks too unnatural, as does the wall runnings.
Have you ever wondered why people like to watch pacours videos on youtube? It's because one can actually beleive in the possibility of these movements, which are very impressive but natural.
It's not the mere display of cool movements that creates fun, it is the imagination to put oneselves into the position of the creature doing these cool movements. Of course I have not played the recent version, so I can only judge from your vids.
