Warrior Within combat system was so amazing it had it's own trailer. It's a shame Ubisoft never explored more the idea, imagine an AC with this system. It looks cool, makes you feel like a badass, lets you interact with the environment and the enemies like no other combat system at that time, and let you choose how to proceed during those fights. The simple action of just grabing an enemy gives you like six different outcomes depending on you having or not a secondary weapon and how you want to proceed in the fight.
The fact that only ww has that combat system makes it so unique and marked within Ubisoft. At this point I can't imagine an AC having a combat system that barely manages to keep up with Warrior Within 😂
Hopefully, they have Yuri stay for the whole thing this time (why he didn’t voice this edgier Prince, I won’t know but I’m sure he’s played brooding characters before so him voicing the Prince in his darker moments still would’ve worked and also I kinda would’ve imagined him sounding more like Sasuke eventually)
@@dellebelphine-moralez3510He can try and I think he even was auditioning for it but they wanted prince to sound deeper and older. I think if they remake princeWW and make him 27 years old or something then it's probably best for Robin to do it, otherwise if they make him younger then go for Yuri. T2T because of people stupidly asking back for it made the prince sound weird now.😂 For changes like that, it's best to just swallow the pain and look forward to other stuff.
@@brokemono he did sound weird in The Two Thrones and actually you’re right, The Prince having a lower voice plus Robin voicing him onwards would’ve worked as well. Or hell, because the Prince was talking to his more darker persona, would’ve been perfect to have that disembodied voice sound like Warrior Within Prince (Robin)
Subbed. WW is my favorite Prince of Persia. It was the first one I played, and I was blown away by every part of it. Such a memorable game. I played sands of time after this, and was even a bit disappointed by how cartoonish and last-gen it looked and felt. The combat specifically, after playing WW is a letdown. Especially for the fact that people praise sands of time so much. It is still a master piece in my opinion, but Warrior Within have a special place in my heart.
@@DesignDelve Wow you answered fast. While I quite enjoy receiving comment in youtube from the person who made the video, I hope your channel grow so much that you don't have time to do such a thing. This channel deserves a lot more subs. I enjoyed TTT, but it is my least favorite of the trilogy. I expected the combat to be better, after all, they had a ready-made template in WW to improve upon. But it was a disappointment IMO. I wasn't that fond of the enemies either. Farah was a lot better, and I agree with you that the character development was a lot better in TTT ( I just watched your third video) but the mysterious architecture of the island of time was missing, and the rush of getting a more powerful sword was not there. The only part I truly find amazing is the Dark Prince, especially the chain and its new mechanics. Cutting enemies in half with the chain was glorious when I first played this. Granted, I was a kid who shouldn't have played M-rated games. Another thing that disappointed me was the opening of this game. I remember trying hard to get the water sword as to not kill the empress but in 5 minutes of the third game they kill her off anyway. Shame. WW is something else. I still remember how hard I tried running away when Dhahaka showed up, like it would kill me instead of the Prince if it reached me.
I’m with you bud, our opinions line up a lot in regards to the series 👌 also thanks for the comment on how you want my channel to grow :) means a lot boss thank you!
@@13thxenosKaileena's quick death in TTT is a big turd on the players heads also because we both just changed our fates in WW and Prince was coming back to Babylon like a boss with the fucking Empress of time by his side no less. The way she went down was also ridiculous. TTT was developed for people who never played WW it feels like and would only be old enough to play it AFTER they've experienced TTT as a prequel which would make a lot of sense to me.
JM8 Bro you are so underrated, it isn’t fair, this should be crime, you need WAY more subs, some youtubers with millions of subs don’t make these type of entertaining videos, keep it up!!
Thanks bro! I appreciate that :) send the channel to some friends you know who might like it :D help the channel grow! If not just thanks for being a legend anyway 👌 your comments are always hilarious
Still I didn't mind the Cranks puzzles. And uhh. The Puzzles you showed in Sands of Time also had cranks so... Anyways there aren't too many puzzles though. Btw I have more nostalgia for Sands of time because I played it on PS2 and PS3 but sadly Warrior Within and Two Thrones I played only on PS3. I did saw that some Glitches got fixed though which I like.
I love this game for me it is the best prince of persia Two thrones was good but the game was kinda unfinished it was supposed to be kindred blades but they change it into two thrones Keep making good videos🖤
Great analysis mate!👍 Would like to add the following, for those who have a problem with the soundtrack/ambient music in this game; its melancholic, moody and heavy because it's meant to reflect the Prince State of mind and live in the storyline. At that moment he's being chased by the Dahaka for FREAKING SEVEN YEARS. Be honest. If that won't make you paranoid, moody and frightened; I don't know what will. The quest to stop the initial creation of the Sands of Time is his last hope to change his fate. A mission to avoid death by the hands of a terrifying creature. I think it's brilliant the way the music compliments the game. Nice mix of Arabian ambient and eastern influenced metal.
I've actually been playing this game in anticipation of this video. One of the best games ever made. I wish assassins creed had a combo system like this. Protip: rename the video files with "load" or "pow" in the title, it reduces the loading times to virtually nothing.
Damn I didn't know the devs had time constraints. Explains why it felt a bit repetitive at times. But nonetheless it is my favorite PoP game of em all. I hope that if they decide to remake the game again, they give it a bit more care and attention. Anyway, great video m8, very entertaining
I always thought Warrior Within did more justice for The Prince and made him even cooler. Because I know in Sands Of Time he’s supposed to similar to Aladdin, highly acrobatic and mischievous and always jumping into adventure without fear. I feel like the edgier, more afraid, and even darker persona of The Prince in Warrior Within was a breath of fresh air.
Literally first thing I did when I woke up was see this notification for the vid and was like YESSSS. Another awesome vid. It's the perfect mix of humour and smarty game stuff. XD
Great work as always :D I hope you enjoy T2T as well. Unfortunately, the true sequel to WW ( PoP Kindred Blades) was scrapped and the team had to make changes to the game, then it was released as The Two Thrones, still a great game regardless. Would like it if you include something about Kindred Blades too in your next video 😁 Eagerly waiting
I feel like there was 1 wasted opportunity when it came to using cranks and levers to activate or move something in order to progress, and how it could have worked with the past/present timeline mechanics. 1 example is when the Prince goes to the library for the first time, and on a balcony above there are 2 bookcases that the Prince needs to pull out from their slots inside the wall, in order to climb them and progress. Later in the game, you return as the sand-wraith, and the bookcases are where you left them, even though this visit chronologically happens *before* the first visit. It would have been really interesting if certain puzzle sections in the game were chronologically already completed the first time you passed through that area. You're taking this path, not thinking twice about it, and progress. But you return later, at a point in time when a puzzle in the area had not yet been completed, and the path is no longer there, and the same way you want to go is no longer accessible. You recognise that your surroundings are different to how you remember, which hints at what you need to do to progress, if you can remember how certain parts of the "scenery" were before. You know that you can and have to re-create the path you took last time to progress this time, because now you are realising that this path you have taken before is a path that you have to create now.
That would have really hindered and cut off the flow of the story moving forward, and if you know a little bit about cinematography, things like that are inexcusable. Although I also understand that it would have enriched the mechanics, but little by little, it's not worth it.
this ia honestly mt favourite game of the original trilogy. I mean there's so much depth to the story and as soon and the prince becomes sand wraith, that's when the things really start to get going I think. becoming the things the Dahaka killed. everything just felt way too easy killing Kaileena in the past. I'm glad this game has 2 different endings too. the ending when you Dahaka... like wow! I cab't believe they did that ending!
@@DesignDelve for sure and the fact you have to get all life upgrades and the water sword too. I like how areas are often revisited multiple times instead of all just being straightforward like in sands of time and the two thrones. Gives them more exploration.
AHHH shit here we go again :'D, the memes in this one are top-notch and I agree I haven't played this but seeing this makes me feel bad for the developers the crunch must have been gross.
There was so much cut content from this game that would have made it even more interesting than it already was. Even so, I will defend Warrior Within as the best Prince of Persia game to date
Thank you boss this means a lot to me :) hopefully you can stick around and watch the channel grow! We’re on our way to 1k!! Share the channel with some friends who you think might like it :D thanks again boss!
@@DesignDelve i have played the 2 thrones 4 times so far, and gotta say one complaint, playing as the prince was annoying af as the stupid dagger does little damage, other than that the game was amazing, if sands of time was toddler prince and warrior within was edgy teenage prince, T2T is basically mature adult prince, T2T took aspects from SOT and Warrior within and blended it together perfectly.
You're wrong about the cranks. the puzzle isn't the crank itself, the puzzle is how to get to (parkour) to that crank location. Those movement puzzles of figuring out how to jump to those locations were really really good. In SoT they used more wall-buttons than cranks, and perosnally a crank sounds way more realistic whereas a button feels more digital
M8 your videos are just so on point! hope to see you do Prince of Persia 2008 , it's such a beautiful game, you said you're into the Arabian Night vibe so I'm sure you'll like it too! the combat system of it was totally different from The Sands of Time or Warrior Within. Also, The Sands of Time remake will be released in January 2021, will you ever consider to make the video of it with the comparison of 2003 version by then? Anyway keep up the great work M8, looking forward to see the rest of this series !!
ive played the pop games since i was 4 (born in 2001) my dad played the original game back in 1989 and bought the trilogy for ps2 in 2005. we both fell in love with the pop trilogy (my dads favorite pop game is sot) and warrior within became not only my favorite pop game, but also my favorite videogame of all time. i dont say its the best pop game, but definitely my favorite. i wanted to say thank you for showing people how great these games by making these videos. edit: you also earned a new subscriber ;)
I like the idea of warrior within like the prince facing the consequences of his actions Instead of just everything being fixed by rewinding everything and the new personality and atmospheres of the games make sense from a writing standpoint the prince was being chased by the dahaka for 6 years that's enough to make any man breaks
Despite the speed of development, POP WW is still perceived as a complete and holistic work, unlike the third POP TT and the first AC, when a large amount of content and mechanics were cut.
I recommend everyone who likes this game to play the PSP version!! It’s a lot longer and has a fuck ton more puzzles It the same game as the PS2 version but between 2 areas like the main hall and gardens they have added a whole new section with puzzles upon puzzles and it makes the game super difficult and fun !! Downside is that it’s on the psp so u might have to do emulation or try to get a psp
The Prince of persia warrior within was and still is the best game ever made. Hopefully this gets remastered on day, after the sands of time. Funny edits in this video. 6:17 was the best 😂
Love these videos man! The editing is great and I sometimes pause just to laugh at the jokes. If you welcome some feedback though, maybe stop with the bit where you make fun of the devs' last name? I'm not a dev but it feels kinda off to choose not to pronounce correctly the name of someone whose work you're, in the case of PoP, praising. No hate though! I really do love these videos and I'm excited to see what you have to say for The Two Thrones and how you react to it. This series was my childhood. Keep up the good work!
I as kid was so amazed by ppww that blow my mind I always make something to play this game this was so hard core and stunishing for me Finding a moment and time for playing this game was always my priority Some times i miss the mistery that this game had it is time that new games never could achive even with so much grafics This game is so misterios so hard to finish even have two time lines in other words it has two ending I could atchive the bad ending that you kill the empress of time But the other one is you dont kill the empress of time and kill the dahaka with the water sword
1k bro? I’m barely at 300 subs let alone 1k xD thanks for the comment man it means a lot to me :) share my channel around dude let’s grow this shit together!!
@@DesignDelve yep...I already shared it on my facebook feed.... Just keep up this quality of video....this is really good... you'll get a lot of subs...and try to cover the POP REMAKE videos...and the new leaks of the improvements in graphics now....as the trailer was made back in Jan...to be released on March... So you can cover some things on it....it's a new thing going on....that might give you more views ✨
@@DesignDelve The first is amazing, really amazing, but the third is my least favorite. I still love it, but I felt the story was weaker then the other two
tbh sands of time amd T2T were pretty boring to me, sometimes good but mostly meh...WW was the one which kept me hooked in the series. WW is like DMC3 in their series. drastically different yet top tier game
If you think warrior within doesn't have great puzzles than I recommend you Prince of Persia Revelations (PS2 version of WW) it has many unnecessary mindless & frustrating puzzles that'll make you uninstall the entire game, I remember one doorway puzzle was so stupid hard that I'd watch it's walkthrough on RUclips to solve it & I'm the one who never watches games walkthrough but I'd to regardless warrior within is one of the greatest game ever made it's so underrated & no doubt it holds a special place in my heart & is my favourite from Prince of Persia series
If you find The New Order to be your cup of tea, I would recommend jumping straight to Chronicles of Riddick Assault On Dark Athena. Honestly it does everything better than The New Order except the music.
Best game in the series in my opinion. Sure it didn't have the puzzles from the first game but it just felt like a complete game to me. The world building felt real and you really felt that everything was connected. Music and combat were on point and the difficulty was just right for a casual playthrough. No deaths or traps felt really cheap or frustrating. One of the best games I've played from that generation. Sure it's not a masterpiece but that's the issue I have with games today, they all try too hard to be AAA when all we really want from a game is solid gameplay.
Definitely peak edge for sure! 😆. It's Sands OF Time, but now the prince has baditude!. I was in my mid 20s when this game was this was released and I DO remember how blown away I was that there was already a sequel to the first game. This was also when I was firmly a massive Ubisoft fan(especially after the first game and Beyond Good and Evil). Before they became the typical cliche AAA game publisher they are today, they actually used to put out a lot of quality original titles.
I only played a very small amount of this game as a kid because I was only able to rent it and I wasn't able to get good enough at it in that time to deal with the Dahaka chases. I've always wanted to revisit the series but haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully I can get there someday.
So, I played this game after The Two Thrones, and I was scared to play this game, the starting was scary on the ship, as well as the combat was like over the top cinematic and powerful. I remember hyperventilating during the Dahaka's chase sequences. And the main focus of the game, Kaileena, oof, I was down bad for her boobs, goddamn. 10/10 would play again forever.
Great video 👌👌. This game is my favorite one in the trilogy and after getting to know many people criticised it mainly bcoz it lacked the Arabian nights' theme, this video was much needed for me. The backtracking element, the complex storyline, the revamped combat, the DARK, EDGY theme and the METAL soundtrack just captivated me. Once again thank you for this video mate 👍👍
@@DesignDelve Thank you for the reply. Two thrones is also a decent game. In fact that was the first Prince of Persia I played 14 years ago. The environment, music, story and everything else were decent. Dark prince and Chariot missions are really nice unique additions. However, when I played Warrior within for the first time back then in 2019, it completely obliterated SoT and T2T in all aspects according to me. The story, semilinear gameplay, unexpected twists, edgy environment, engaging gore combat, metal music, etc. Everything was perfectly aligning with my taste. Hence warrior within is my favorite but T2T is also a pretty decent game though.
The lack of Arabian nights theme in Warrior Within can be justified- because Prince goes on a mission to a different place(island) only to save his life - a different island which is more mysterious, where he faces Kaileena & Dahaka - so the culture, music can all be shown differently. It justifies.
@@DesignDelve Sorry for the extremely late reply. I'm actually excited for the remake but just hoping that they won't change it very drastically. Of course, the graphics should be better but I don't want them to fiddle with the environment and art aspect of SoT too much. That's that game's primary strength. Also, a warrior within remake would be better as long as they preserve the original theme.
Its weird that you didnt mention the life upgrades and how it leads to two alternate endings, the different weapons of different purposes and designs too.. This game has so much to look and admire. Anyways i hope the new remake does well in the market and people buy it so that we get a warrior within remake as well
Still waiting for backwards compatibility for this and Two Thrones… Edit: Okay, I just downloaded the game on Steam and used an hdmi cable to connect my laptop to a TV and, while this requires effort, it makes the game playable on a larger screen
Even the PSP port of this game was great, they added extra levels, the part with the rotating staircases was so confusing, the dahaka is so damn scary!
Exactly, The first POP SoT was a breakthrough masterpiece. The second POP WW was an even bigger fucking masterpiece. And only one year passed between them! It's a fucking miracle! How is this even possible?! After all, the games are radically different from each other!
One of my favourite Games and i don't even like the other games in series really, the dsrk soundtrack atmosphere the past and then the decayed present was beautiful played it again recently and took me months of returning to the second shadee fight on hard
This means a lot to me thank you :) hope you enjoyed it, I literally just finish the script for my Two Thrones video so I hope you can stick around to see that episode too :) thanks again boss
@@DesignDelve I actually didn't knew the game was created in just a year, back in that time it was still possible to create great looking games in short times, but Ubisoft wanting to quickly milk the franchise surely took its damage in the dev side. I just hope the remake of 1 does well for the new dev team grab some of the older dev team to finally create their full vision for the second.
Completely agree :) there are more interesting development constraints in the two thrones that I can’t wait to cover! Recording the voice over today actually 👀
If only this was the review it got in 2004. It was not positive at all and then we got the Nolan North requel and disappointing forgotten sands. I replay this even now. A real gem. I was not disappointed at all until after this one.
Actually I did like 2 throwns. It built on what came before tying in nicely apart from that one spike in the game getting my chariot ass handed to me followed by the duo from hell. The game play in warrior within is excellent as are the twists make it hard to better.

bro i was surprised to see 250 subscribers! You deserve way more, you got my sub for sure
Cheers boss that means a lot to me :) share my channel with some friends who might enjoy it let’s grow together!
Waiting for this mate...😎
Enjoy boss!
The first thing i see in my feed when i'm back from the pub? A jm8 video? Geddin bae!
Enjoy Bae!!!
this ia honestly mt favourite game of the original trilogy. I mean there's so much depth to the story and as soon and the prince becomes sand wraith, that's when the things really start to get going I think. becoming the things the Dahaka killed. everything just felt way too easy killing Kaileena in the past. I'm glad this game has 2 different endings too. the ending when you Dahaka... like wow! I cab't believe they did that ending!
It’s cool that the most difficult ending is the canon one!
@@DesignDelve for sure and the fact you have to get all life upgrades and the water sword too. I like how areas are often revisited multiple times instead of all just being straightforward like in sands of time and the two thrones. Gives them more exploration.
AHHH shit here we go again :'D, the memes in this one are top-notch and I agree I haven't played this but seeing this makes me feel bad for the developers the crunch must have been gross.
What a meme ;) cheers for the help on this one bud
@@DesignDelve imagine, these memes would pop during the gameplay. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everytime Dahaka pops up, "AHHH shit, here we go again..."
Your channel has potential keep it up! I look forward to see more of these kinds of videos!
Cheers boss :) glad you like them! New videos every other Sunday
There was so much cut content from this game that would have made it even more interesting than it already was. Even so, I will defend Warrior Within as the best Prince of Persia game to date
this game was masterpiece of its time
Loving ur videos man keep it coming!!!
Yo dude this means a lot to me thank you! New video on Sunday hope you enjoy it! Share my channel around let’s grow this channel together bro!
You, AveragePixel, and Ahoy the youtubers I most antecipate the videos, great work and quality :D
M8 this means a lot to me thank you :D
This and San-Andreas were my childhood.
Preach dude. Completely agree!
You really deserve millions of subscribers man, your every content is just amazing.
Thank you boss this means a lot to me :) hopefully you can stick around and watch the channel grow! We’re on our way to 1k!! Share the channel with some friends who you think might like it :D thanks again boss!
Time to time, I just get my old box of WW and keep looking to this beauty
Great episode mate instantly subscribed!
Cheers dude :D
This is my favorite game of all time
Hell yea brother. What did you think of The Two Thrones?
@@DesignDelve i have played the 2 thrones 4 times so far, and gotta say one complaint, playing as the prince was annoying af as the stupid dagger does little damage, other than that the game was amazing, if sands of time was toddler prince and warrior within was edgy teenage prince, T2T is basically mature adult prince, T2T took aspects from SOT and Warrior within and blended it together perfectly.
M8 I like your style. Our opinions line up perfectly :) you have good taste brother 👌
I loved Warrior Within's level design. The whole map could be traversed backwards as well.
Man, your videos have killer humour and analysis 😂💯. Looking forward to more game reviews.
Cheers boss I’m really glad you’re enjoying them 👌 The Anatomy of Hollow Knight 1k special coming soon 👀
As a South Asian, this game speaks to me in a way that no other Western Game does. I love games&movies that focus on Middle/South Asian Cultures.
This game made me fall in love with Arabian/Asian theming In games I wish more used it as it’s a rich and engrossing.
You're wrong about the cranks. the puzzle isn't the crank itself, the puzzle is how to get to (parkour) to that crank location. Those movement puzzles of figuring out how to jump to those locations were really really good. In SoT they used more wall-buttons than cranks, and perosnally a crank sounds way more realistic whereas a button feels more digital
Yayyy! Can't wait for the next one
Soon boss soon :)
This video deserves more views and subs. Awesome review of a beloved game!
Cheers boss this means a lot to me :) share it around the best you can do we can spread the love for this amazing game!
M8 your videos are just so on point! hope to see you do Prince of Persia 2008 , it's such a beautiful game, you said you're into the Arabian Night vibe so I'm sure you'll like it too! the combat system of it was totally different from The Sands of Time or Warrior Within.
Also, The Sands of Time remake will be released in January 2021, will you ever consider to make the video of it with the comparison of 2003 version by then?
Anyway keep up the great work M8, looking forward to see the rest of this series !!
M8 thank you for the comment :) really glad you enjoy the videos! New episode coming out tomorrow and I’m starting on my two thrones episode next :)
ive played the pop games since i was 4 (born in 2001) my dad played the original game back in 1989 and bought the trilogy for ps2 in 2005. we both fell in love with the pop trilogy (my dads favorite pop game is sot) and warrior within became not only my favorite pop game, but also my favorite videogame of all time. i dont say its the best pop game, but definitely my favorite. i wanted to say thank you for showing people how great these games by making these videos.
edit: you also earned a new subscriber ;)
Really appreciate the sub and the comment boss :) thanks for the kind words! What are your opinions on the remake of SoT?
I like the idea of warrior within like the prince facing the consequences of his actions Instead of just everything being fixed by rewinding everything and the new personality and atmospheres of the games make sense from a writing standpoint the prince was being chased by the dahaka for 6 years that's enough to make any man breaks
I think this is the most unbiased rewiew of this game I have ever seen.
Good job!
Cheers boss I really appreciate that :) really hope you enjoyed it!
Despite the speed of development, POP WW is still perceived as a complete and holistic work, unlike the third POP TT and the first AC, when a large amount of content and mechanics were cut.
Was replaying the games again, and wanted more. Found this video, and im so mad ive never found you before. This hilarious xD
Glad you enjoyed it bud :P
You deserve more subs
Thanks boss :) share the channel with some friends let’s grow this channel together!
Finally yeah man been waiting for this video this game is the reason iam a gamer doing game design in college
Love Godsmack
Hope you enjoyed it boss. Keep studying man can’t wait to see what amazing games you create keep us updated!
I recommend everyone who likes this game to play the PSP version!!
It’s a lot longer and has a fuck ton more puzzles
It the same game as the PS2 version but between 2 areas like the main hall and gardens they have added a whole new section with puzzles upon puzzles and it makes the game super difficult and fun !!
Downside is that it’s on the psp so u might have to do emulation or try to get a psp
Good recommendation boss! Do you honk it would make a good episode for the channel?
@@DesignDelve most definitely, there isn't anyone major on youtube who has covered it in debt so the opportunity is there my man
ubisoft need to watch this asap
Lad.
Nostalgia
Preach 🦐
The Prince of persia warrior within was and still is the best game ever made. Hopefully this gets remastered on day, after the sands of time. Funny edits in this video. 6:17 was the best 😂
still my favourite.
Don’t blame you 👌
Love these videos man! The editing is great and I sometimes pause just to laugh at the jokes. If you welcome some feedback though, maybe stop with the bit where you make fun of the devs' last name? I'm not a dev but it feels kinda off to choose not to pronounce correctly the name of someone whose work you're, in the case of PoP, praising. No hate though! I really do love these videos and I'm excited to see what you have to say for The Two Thrones and how you react to it. This series was my childhood. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it boss :) I appreciate the feedback and I completely understand it!
After watching this video I had to plug in my original Xbox and start a new game ffs this game is good
It is incredible 👌
Can't wait for the WW remake.
Hopefully the SoT remake does well enough for Ubi to green light it!
I as kid was so amazed by ppww that blow my mind
I always make something to play this game this was so hard core and stunishing for me
Finding a moment and time for playing this game was always my priority
Some times i miss the mistery that this game had it is time that new games never could achive even with so much grafics
This game is so misterios so hard to finish even have two time lines in other words it has two ending
I could atchive the bad ending that you kill the empress of time
But the other one is you dont kill the empress of time and kill the dahaka with the water sword
Bro I can't believe you are having 1K subs ....this quality is insane ..you should get ATLEAST 100K subs
1k bro? I’m barely at 300 subs let alone 1k xD thanks for the comment man it means a lot to me :) share my channel around dude let’s grow this shit together!!
@@DesignDelve yep...I already shared it on my facebook feed.... Just keep up this quality of video....this is really good... you'll get a lot of subs...and try to cover the POP REMAKE videos...and the new leaks of the improvements in graphics now....as the trailer was made back in Jan...to be released on March...
So you can cover some things on it....it's a new thing going on....that might give you more views ✨
Cheers for the share and the recommendations boss!
is that crash bandicoot sound effects I hear in the background? plan on talking about that series soon at all?
Would you like to see me cover it?
So nice to see my favorite game ever made get the attention it deserves.
Amazing game. What do you think of the first and third games?
@@DesignDelve The first is amazing, really amazing, but the third is my least favorite. I still love it, but I felt the story was weaker then the other two
The Two Thrones story is weak.
This one the best of the series.
Best PoP and slasher/platformer to me. Gonna go play it again soon after that video. Griffin is my favourite boss fight ever.
Prince of persia and Resident Evil series made my childhood. How nostalgic......
I feel you man 👌 luckily for you resident evil is my Halloween episode this year 😬 stay tuned m8 !
@@DesignDelve sure. I will be looking forward to it!
tbh sands of time amd T2T were pretty boring to me, sometimes good but mostly meh...WW was the one which kept me hooked in the series. WW is like DMC3 in their series. drastically different yet top tier game
What would you say about WW kept you hooked? Combat, story, exploration?
Nice video, my guy!
Cheers, my dude!
@@DesignDelve I actually wanted to do some videos myself on these games but I've not gotten around to it yet - maybe some day in the future
Look forward to seeing them boss!
If you think warrior within doesn't have great puzzles than I recommend you Prince of Persia Revelations (PS2 version of WW) it has many unnecessary mindless & frustrating puzzles that'll make you uninstall the entire game, I remember one doorway puzzle was so stupid hard that I'd watch it's walkthrough on RUclips to solve it & I'm the one who never watches games walkthrough but I'd to regardless warrior within is one of the greatest game ever made it's so underrated & no doubt it holds a special place in my heart & is my favourite from Prince of Persia series
All hail POP !!!
Prince of Persia is king!
If you find The New Order to be your cup of tea, I would recommend jumping straight to Chronicles of Riddick Assault On Dark Athena. Honestly it does everything better than The New Order except the music.
I’ll add them to my list broski!
Best game in the series in my opinion. Sure it didn't have the puzzles from the first game but it just felt like a complete game to me. The world building felt real and you really felt that everything was connected. Music and combat were on point and the difficulty was just right for a casual playthrough. No deaths or traps felt really cheap or frustrating.
One of the best games I've played from that generation. Sure it's not a masterpiece but that's the issue I have with games today, they all try too hard to be AAA when all we really want from a game is solid gameplay.
Definitely peak edge for sure! 😆. It's Sands OF Time, but now the prince has baditude!. I was in my mid 20s when this game was this was released and I DO remember how blown away I was that there was already a sequel to the first game. This was also when I was firmly a massive Ubisoft fan(especially after the first game and Beyond Good and Evil). Before they became the typical cliche AAA game publisher they are today, they actually used to put out a lot of quality original titles.
Love your videos I’m subscribing, hoping the analysis of prince of Persia the two thrones
Thanks for the sub boss :) currently working on the two thrones episode as we speak!
Wow just stumbled across your channel and as a fellow brit I appreciated all the m8s. Keep up the gr8 work m8!
Ohhh m8 hope you’re enjoying the content :D
@@DesignDelve I am indeed m8! Watching these vids is making me want to replay the PoP trilogy again haha
Hell yea broski do it 👌
I only played a very small amount of this game as a kid because I was only able to rent it and I wasn't able to get good enough at it in that time to deal with the Dahaka chases. I've always wanted to revisit the series but haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully I can get there someday.
It hasn’t aged perfectly but still worth a shot imo 👌
So, I played this game after The Two Thrones, and I was scared to play this game, the starting was scary on the ship, as well as the combat was like over the top cinematic and powerful. I remember hyperventilating during the Dahaka's chase sequences. And the main focus of the game, Kaileena, oof, I was down bad for her boobs, goddamn. 10/10 would play again forever.
Great video 👌👌. This game is my favorite one in the trilogy and after getting to know many people criticised it mainly bcoz it lacked the Arabian nights' theme, this video was much needed for me. The backtracking element, the complex storyline, the revamped combat, the DARK, EDGY theme and the METAL soundtrack just captivated me. Once again thank you for this video mate 👍👍
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! What did you think of the two thrones?
@@DesignDelve Thank you for the reply. Two thrones is also a decent game. In fact that was the first Prince of Persia I played 14 years ago. The environment, music, story and everything else were decent. Dark prince and Chariot missions are really nice unique additions. However, when I played Warrior within for the first time back then in 2019, it completely obliterated SoT and T2T in all aspects according to me. The story, semilinear gameplay, unexpected twists, edgy environment, engaging gore combat, metal music, etc. Everything was perfectly aligning with my taste. Hence warrior within is my favorite but T2T is also a pretty decent game though.
I can see where you’re coming from bro WW just hits differently 👌 are you excited for the remake of SoT?
The lack of Arabian nights theme in Warrior Within can be justified- because Prince goes on a mission to a different place(island) only to save his life - a different island which is more mysterious, where he faces Kaileena & Dahaka - so the culture, music can all be shown differently. It justifies.
@@DesignDelve Sorry for the extremely late reply. I'm actually excited for the remake but just hoping that they won't change it very drastically. Of course, the graphics should be better but I don't want them to fiddle with the environment and art aspect of SoT too much. That's that game's primary strength. Also, a warrior within remake would be better as long as they preserve the original theme.
Its weird that you didnt mention the life upgrades and how it leads to two alternate endings, the different weapons of different purposes and designs too.. This game has so much to look and admire. Anyways i hope the new remake does well in the market and people buy it so that we get a warrior within remake as well
It was in my script originally but I cut it out due to pacing :) whats you’re favourite game from the series?
@@DesignDelve my favourite is definitely warrior within!
Why did you enjoy about warrior within boss? Compared to the others
@@DesignDelve the awesomely complicated time travel story, better action than the others, more challenging levels than the other two.
Nice, what are you opinions on The Two Thrones? I know a lot of people have a negative opinion on it
The BEST Prince of Persia game.
Best PoP ever.
Still waiting for backwards compatibility for this and Two Thrones…
Edit: Okay, I just downloaded the game on Steam and used an hdmi cable to connect my laptop to a TV and, while this requires effort, it makes the game playable on a larger screen
Preach brother 👌
Even the PSP port of this game was great, they added extra levels, the part with the rotating staircases was so confusing, the dahaka is so damn scary!
Exactly,
The first POP SoT was a breakthrough masterpiece.
The second POP WW was an even bigger fucking masterpiece.
And only one year passed between them!
It's a fucking miracle! How is this even possible?!
After all, the games are radically different from each other!
One of my favourite Games and i don't even like the other games in series really, the dsrk soundtrack atmosphere the past and then the decayed present was beautiful played it again recently and took me months of returning to the second shadee fight on hard
i think it's incredible how goddamn short the review is, for how well written it also is.
This means a lot to me thank you :) hope you enjoyed it, I literally just finish the script for my Two Thrones video so I hope you can stick around to see that episode too :) thanks again boss
@@DesignDelve I actually didn't knew the game was created in just a year, back in that time it was still possible to create great looking games in short times, but Ubisoft wanting to quickly milk the franchise surely took its damage in the dev side. I just hope the remake of 1 does well for the new dev team grab some of the older dev team to finally create their full vision for the second.
Completely agree :) there are more interesting development constraints in the two thrones that I can’t wait to cover! Recording the voice over today actually 👀
underated channel
So before the TVA,the time keepers had Dahaka...😅
This is now canon.
If only this was the review it got in 2004. It was not positive at all and then we got the Nolan North requel and disappointing forgotten sands. I replay this even now. A real gem. I was not disappointed at all until after this one.
Completely agree boss, were you disappointed with the two thrones?
Actually I did like 2 throwns. It built on what came before tying in nicely apart from that one spike in the game getting my chariot ass handed to me followed by the duo from hell. The game play in warrior within is excellent as are the twists make it hard to better.
We’re on the same page with our opinions on the series it seems bro 👌 hope you enjoyed my videos in the series :)
The Holy Grail Of Video Games
Couldn’t agree more boss 👌
Definitely the best godsmack game
Hell yea brother
ahhh, good memories
Wonderful games
Amazing content dude glad I found u
Thank you so much Mohamed :D this means a lot to me! Have you seen any of my new videos?
@@DesignDelve i am going through them 1by one xD
Bro I’d love to hear what you think of them :D
"Relentless time correcting gigachad"
Actual great review, good job!
