Those glowing jump pads look a bit stupid gameplay wise. Maybe it's worth a try, though.

^^ OMG, you guys have me so hyped for the game now.:D
Blim when you say "The hours I've spent in this enchanting game with some not so one dimensional characters are some of the most memorable in the last few years" does that mean the story is engaging? i don't want to watch the vids in case of spoilers.

2008-12-02 14:23:09

The story itself isn't that amazing, but the two characters work really well together and it's a pleasure to watch them talk about themselves and stuff.

Great work Blim Blim just out of curiosity will you be uploading any more videos, because I need something to quell my anticipation and I'm not one of those who believe experiencing the opening segments of a game before release to be a spoiler

Thanks for the video (as always).

I think one of the very very few to whom these 3D Prince of Persia don't appeal any will to play.
I like god of war, but not PoP... in fact the last prince of persia i liked was the the old Prince of Persia 2.

Maybe one day, but just not right now :) Hope you will all enjoy though.

2008-12-02 16:15:23

combat and graphics aside, has the voice acting and dialogue always been this terrible in PoP games?

2008-12-02 16:28:12

The first few minutes are a bit forced in terms of dialogs, but I think afterwards the two chracters have a great chemistry.

Is there some decent difficulty? Thats all I want to know. It doesn't have to be usual PoP, but it looked very easy, very as you said, accessable. PoP has always been about the acrobatics and stuff for me, the gameplay. It had interesting back story to an extent, but it was that hard, keep at it gameplay I loved.

2008-12-02 18:32:09

funny, i actually like the corny humor from the prince

2008-12-02 18:33:48

I like what I saw. I had the game on my radar but never got as far as thinking thtis would be a first day purchase. Guess after reading your impressions Blim it went up my list.

2008-12-02 18:38:49

I still hate the dialogues ..is this a sitcom or what?

I completely disagree Sath, the Prince and Elika are great. Did you play the game or are you basing your opinion on small snippets of dialogs?
I was very skeptical with the Prince before playing the game, but they really nailed his character.

The only thing that bothers me is the voice acting for the prince (Elika is fine).
I mean everytime the prince makes a joke or trying to be funny, I keep seeing Nathan Drake.

Not only does the voice belong to Nathan but the way the prince makes his jokes or trying to be funny is very Nathan-ish.

It doesnt need someone to play the game to like or dislike the voice acting (in my case, the prince only), I am not talking about the gameplay here, that would be something different.

The prince is too cheesy now, like if it the game was mad by Disney and Ubisoft published it.

PS. Those 10 minute of footages with so much dialogue isnt considered "snippets".

The prince is certainly more Han Solo-ish than he is like Nathan, who by the way was very Han Solo-ish too. ^^

Do you believe Nathan Drake invented everything? If the actor's voice annoys you that much, why don't you play the game in another language? That way, it will sound a lot more exotic. ;)

The prince is a more cornier version of Drake, and no I dont believe he invented everything.
But I do feel its very unessecary to say the same line in the same way in the same scenario (falling) with the same voice for the prince as it was for Drake.

And I believe Ben Mattes said they had Han Solo insperation.

If I could change only the language for the prince and the rest in english, now that would be interesting.

You can’t have your cake and eat it. ;)

I know what Ben Mattes said, I was there. ^^

I just wanted to point out the fact that a character like Nathan is mostly inspired by Han Solo too, hence the similarities. So I don't think Ubisoft had Drake in mind when they created the new prince. :)

I also don't think there's an "uncharted copyright" on this "aaahhh crap" line and I'm pretty sure you can hear it in many other games/movies anyway. I'm afraid a lot of people are simply bitching about minor details and you might miss quite an entertaining game. Just rent the game and give it a try at least.
