Prince Of Persia 3 Screens(56k Beware)

<div class="IPBDescription">Wow lets ruin it more</div> I loved PoP: SoT. WW sucked. Mmk? That simple. The combat was <b>not</b> improved, the puzzles were so bad that I hated them to my core(almost as much as Windwaker's pointlessly idiotic this-doesn't-even-have-anything-to-do-with-the-game-other-than-to-extend-the-time-it-takes-to-beat-it puzzles), and the art style reeked of "Lets do the dark thing because dark sells more copies!"

...which was pretty sad. Heres to hoping these screens for Prince of Persia 3 don't really show them fixing their series:

    We went from the puzzle solving fun of SoT to hack and slash boredom of the sequel. And now there's this, with its obvious focus on killing. The developers have obviously decided on the direction they want PoP to go. : (

    Like what?

    And you have officially borked the forum, to the max.

    I'm not into the dark thing, for a game such as this.

    it could be dark and have the core gameplay of the first one...if they are going to focus on gameplay then the melee system really really needs fixed. i didn't mind it in the first one becuase it was more about the puzzles and platforming but the second one i got bored really fast

    Ugh. Hopefully, the ratio of flesh:clothes will be more equal this time around. I'm surprised that first boss didn't die of chafage.

    I also preferred the more light-hearted Prince. I guess he's gone and is never coming back. ):

    I could go out of this room, run along the wall to avoid the three pressure pads, jump to the other side to grab a ledge and climb up, run past the spiky spinning pillar, fend off the sand-creatures, and go into the study and write a letter of complaint to someone.

    And if you think that's bad, you should see what I have to go through to get to the toilet. Oy, vey!

    Wow, already number 3? I seem to recall not so long ago the first one was released, no wonder they turned out crap with the extremely short production cycle <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I have to say, i really liked the combat system of WW. In SoT battles were just plain annoing and luck.
    Although the puzzles in WW were lame, i had much more fun plaing that game!

    If they're going to do the dark, violent thing with PoP, they're going to have to go up against God of War.. which frankly is very steep competition.

    I consider the first SOT a lucky fluke, butchered in its sleep by Ubi's oh-so-great marketing policy. Yeah, right folks, let's release more stellar titles with little advanced advertising into the hottest competition of the year! Way to make your franchises work!
    Had they waited till February, they could've had a sleeper hit with literally no additional costs.

    Oh, well, PoP has a history for coming back from the dead. Just wait another decade.

    He speaks the truth. Remember PoP:3d? That alone was enough to pronounce it dead, buried, exhumed, cremated, scattered, and stricken from the record.

    And you can count me among those who loved the charm of SoT and hated Rockprince. The puzzles in WW weren't that bad though, in all honesty.

    Sands of Time at least had the franchise name attached to it. If you think Ubi botched <i>that</i> one, how about releasing Beyond Good and Evil within one week of the comparitively blitzy PoP media? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Though, yeah, BG&E is another excellent example for Ubi's total incompetence when it comes to the marketing of 'small' (i.e.: non-SC) titles.

    I actualy liked the puzzels in WW (Or I suck cause it was hard to figure em out) and the fighting weren't all that bad, until you got all the powers of the sands. From there you just:
    1. use powers to easy kill em
    2. Push em on their backs with the wall jumping manouver.
    I had a really tough time killing the last boss, when *it* used sand powers it was impossible to dodge.

    Whenever the wench of time used her powers, you just used yours, and it overrides hers.

    That moron deserved what she got.
    "We can work this out!"
    "No! I will fight and kill you, despite the fact that I know I'll fail!"

    You know on hard it's a alternetive ending, which is kinda like sneak peak to PoP 3. And you know how I did? I ran along the edge and as soon as she used slow time I jumped down and hang from the platform edge until she stopped then I jumped up hit with a roll -over-grab-and-stab then returned to my cowardlish tactic <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> What I hated most was that she gets a free hit right after the cut-scene, I ALWAYS lost 1/4 of the first circel of hp.
