  4. The way they be milking games now. They might as well give it another go. I mean can u even count how many games they released in just 2016and 17 who else can do that

  7. Sands of Time is a timeless classic.

    Warrior Within, however, is my favourite PoP game by far.

    The Two Thrones was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, but it's objectively the weakest of the three. And it definitely wasn't as polished as the previous two installments.

    PoP 2008 was its own thing and was pretty decent.

    Forgotten Sands was awful.

    Considering next year Sands of Time will be 15 years old and 2019 will mark the 30th anniversary of the franchise, there's a strong probability that we'll see something POP-related over the next two years, whatever it is.

  8. Here's an idea… just release a video game where you're the assassin guarding the Prince of Persia and then enable you to switch between the two characters… sorta like GTA V. Then you get a connected universe and plus AC in Babylon would fucking dope.

  9. I started playing Prince Of Persia when I first got my Playstation 2, I was like 6 years old at that time and really enjoyed games and everything about them. Whenever I was bored or wanted to pass the time or just have fun, I hooked up my PS2 and god It was amazing, I would do anything to go back in time and experience everything Ive played and did at the time, not only have I played games that made my life better even to this day but made so many great memories, games back then always had a good story and were fun and no one really cared about graphics back then unlike today.

    The games I played theres only a few I can name, "Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005" "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory 2005" game thing, S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, tony hawks, GTA games, and finally the games that made history for me All 3 Prince of Persia games.. they were so fucking awesome with their story telling, setting, atmosphere, objectives, characters, everything was so fucking amazing and there are no games like that anymore you cant find any like seriously, prince of persia games were gold and should be truly remembered in video game history as top hit games.
    To change the topic a bit, I remember first time playing "Prince Of Persia Two Thrones" and loving every second of it, I cant even tell you how many times ive replayed that game ( more than 15 for sure) then came warrior within which was awesome just a little bit too dark since i was so young at the time lol, but it had great soundtrack, combat, characters and style it was awesome, then lastly i played sands of time honestly i didnt like it as much as the 2 of the games but it was still fun. Ever since then i just kept replaying the games over and over still having fun and having great memories and nostalgia running through me, i really want Ubisoft to bring back POP games its about time i think, and only they know how to make it good so yeah only time wil tell, keeping my hopes high.

  10. Ok so if it's not worth Ubisoft's time to make a new good PoP game, then sell the rights to somebody who cares. Worst case scenario: it turns out to be shit and we'll just pretend that never happened.

  14. Sands of Time and Warrior Within to this day are two my favourite games of all time. The story of Sands of Time was incredible and well developed, you really felt apart of the the world and it had fun new mechanics unlike other games at the time. Warrior Within was a darker and grittier contrast to that with great combat (various elaborate ways to choose from to finish off your enemies – not many games at the time really allowed you to stab your enemy twice in the back then spin around and chop off their head, it was fun) and a pretty interesting story too with the different periods of time and the Dahaka. Two Thrones was still good and definitely polished some things up from the first two, but it was by far the worst in the trilogy in my opinion. The story just paled in comparison – it wasn't magical like the first, and not as dark as the second. It was somewhere in between and way less engaging. On top of AC, I think the new PoP failed because the combat and story were trash – the artwork was cool, but everything else had less depth and didn't feel in-tune with the trilogy.

  17. they just need to make a new one i think make a new prince of persia game beacuse this assassins creed serials started to be boring.. and if they do that will totally blow the world of gaming! and they will make so much money from it.. but they dont think like we are 🙂

  22. If I recall correctly, an ex or current Ubisoft employee said somewhere that Prince of Persia was killed because of Assassin's Creed. Something about how Ubisoft wanted to save money on paying for Intelectual Property (because they don't own the Prince of Persia brand), so they decided to make their own version of it, one with a name they didn't have to pay to use. I think this information might have come from the same person who originally leaked the information for Assassin's Creed Origins (which turned out to be true), but I honestly can't remember. If anyone knows more, please feel free to add to it or correct me if I'm wrong.

  26. The Prince of Persia trilogy is one of my fav game series of all time. I honestly didn't think it was as popular as it is. Seeing that it still gets it's spotlight makes me very happy. Warrior Within is without a doubt one of my favorite games ever. The whole feeling of the gameplay and the vibe is massively implified by the astounding soundtrack. Not to mention it's really interesting and well thought out story

  29. i really loved Prince of Persia you know. it looked way better than the assassins creed to be honest. Even though assasins creed was also awesome, i feel like AC: Origins has diverted away from the feel of the real Assassins Creed franchise. it looks more too flexible. Prince of Persia has to be revived and AC should be buried
