- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch) is an action Metroidvania that is a ton of fun and maybe a reboot for the franchise? I was skeptical, but it won me over. Let's chat.

Never expected this franchise to come back and with such a good game as well
a welcome return for sure
@@MrNegative101 you know the sands of time trilogy is not the original games, right?
@@MrNegative101 wearing those nostalgia glasses 24/7 right?
@@MrNegative101the original one is a 2D platformer. I'm not slagging off the 3D one's, I liked Sands of time.
To the commenter above, Ziggy, the 3D games might have made PoP popular to you. The original 2D was hugely popular when it released too. They are just different takes on the same ideas. Neither is better than the other. If I've screwed up who's commenting to who sorry.
@@MrNegative101I got a hug for you if your ever in FL brother. ❤
Dude, the passion for gaming oozes out when you just let it rip. I love the before you buys, but you just “going” is when you are at your best. Keep it up brotha and I’ll be here for every minute.
Persian methology has so much potential. I hope we get to see more of it.
wait until Kratos crosses that realm.
یسسسسس
Persian measurements are underrated.
if Iranian government changes, you can bet everybody will want a piece of that market.
but unfortunately for now this is probably as good as it gets. people don't want to deal with iran and its government. the more important factor is probably that they don't have a market in Iran(the main target of a game absed on persian mythology) which is again because the Iranian governmet isolated itself and invited the world to sanction them.
Bullshit. They care about their culture and past. 300 movie was criticized by Iranian gov for potraying Xerexes as Gay and Evil. @@blackmage4501
9:17 “Is the sun out? …freaker.” That was too funny.
Other than gameplay and smoothness, Persian is my mother language and they nailed the subtitle and voice acting. Surprisingly it is the first time we see this quality of work in our language and we are very happy. I felt honored that a game with Persian in its title finally gets the language right! And how well, perfect, it is perfect. I really recommend you to turn on English subtitle and at least try it on Farsi voice once.
Thank you Ubisoft thank you so much.
It seems like the devs also did a fair bit of homework in terms of Persian history and mythology alike, such as with King Darius. I know the real king Darius probably didn't end up as a frozen giant who wields heavenly fire, but this game got me looking up more about the actual points of inspiration.
May this game and the devs get a lot of support and feedback, in praise, criticism and in-between alike.
I'm so happy to hear how good this game is!
feels good
play the demo, the games being over hyped. it's worth it at half price.
@@dangleberries992It's better than kiddy Nintendo games
Started it yesterday and it’s near flawless. And I play all the Metroidvania. This is an excellent one.
What other Metroidvanias do you recommend?
I love Metroid, ori, and this game. On the hunt for more with fluid gameplay 😊
@@rowanwhile the best current Metroidvania are Hollow Knight and Blasphemous 1 and 2. Grime is a souls like one that is amazing if you can handle the difficulty. I always considered symphony of the night and super Metroid number one just until Hollow Knight so if you have not played you should.
@@rowanwhile i played afterimage right after this and i loved it.
Something people don't talk about enough (or that I know of) is the soundtrack by Gareth Coker (with Mentrix). This soundtrack goes HARD. It can be calm and beautiful and moody as well, but when it goes hard, it gets to absolute epic proportions to the levels of what the likes of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Danny Elfman put out, or even beyond that. It has some choir-work that would make Danny Elfman cry, and that alongside rockin' drums and guitars. - It actually got me, a musician who hasn't touched an instrument for way too long, to pick up a guitar again. I mean, really, it's fkn awesome! - It's also two and a half hours, by the way, but it's worth just putting on and having a listening-session, finding some favorites. I mean, yea, you have to be into that as standalone music. But I am. I rock out to soundtracks like this full-blast.
The music is absolutely stunning! I love the use of the leitmotif from the main menu track over the course of different events, turning it more emotional, heroic or tense as the situation needed. I've also read somewhere they combined the traditional instruments with more modern sound and it's fantastic? It's definitely one of the highlights of this game, though I think it already has sooo many of them in general!
Jake vs the Sun, the battle we never knew we needed
Have played most if not all of the pop games and have loved them all. Currently playing the demo and actually quite surprised how extensive it is. Has loads of hidden areas and enemy variety is really good. 2nd time I ran through it I found a couple of new enemy types that I had totally missed. Not sure I’m going to be able to take the boss battles without ripping my hair out but I’ll pick this one up for sure in a year or so
This custom and accessibility options can make it play like story mode easy if you get frustrated.
Hey Jake
Just wanted to say thanks for your El paso elsewhere suggestion from the last video. I'm loving it. Great music and the shooting is rad. Thanks man, keep up the awesome work
Great vid Jake!
I’ve only played the demo but felt that connection to the first game straight away and I loved how responsive the controls feel so I’m really excited to play it.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate your perspective of games because you say you’re not super amazing at hard games. It’s a perspective that I think is severely underrated but important because not everyone is looking for the next crazy hard challenge or have a lot of time to play so thank you!
Played this game the second it released yesterday. I'm so glad Prince of Persia is back and better than ever. This game is amazing.
Loved the demo! I needed all the accessibility options because I’m old and started playing PoP with the very first game in 89. It’s always been about the movement, and I feel this game has captured the spark of the original and Sands of Time in a new way. Will definitely be getting this one.
Accessibility is overrated. Devs need to focus that effort back into the actual game
@@CrispyHulk1what a L take. Nothing wrong with expanding the player base through accessibility options.
@@CrispyHulk1 tryhard is overrated
"is the sun coming in?" How dare you! Haha
Prince of Persia 2 was one of the best-looking 2D platformers during the MS DOS gaming era - I somehow feel like the devs looked at the color palette from there and said "we can improve on that for this game!"
I can say a lot about this prince guy, but to make a very long story short, this franchise defined the course of my childhood. Two thrones was my first and favorite game, but I've played almost all of the 3d games. I got to buy a sealed copy of the forgotten sands on wii last year. I was so excited to try it, and it didn't disappoint. Some seriously creative free-form platforming in that game, especially toward the end when you get every power up. I tried the demo for the lost crown on ps5, and slapped and banged so hard I couldn't stop smiling. The prince is my homie and it's good to see this franchise alive and swinging. ❤️🔥
Surprised to hear all of the praise. People are loving it. Can’t wait to jump in to one of my favorite series. It’s been too long!
To me, it always looked kind of like Ori and the Will of the Whisps, which I loved. I tried the demo the other day and it felt like butter. I didn’t want to spoil anything for myself so I quickly deleted the demo and bought the game. I refuse to pay for early access, so I’m waiting for the 18th.
It's crazy because Assassin's Creed WAS Prince of Persia and stole it's spotlight. Ubisoft used to (still has) good genre work. R6 Siege is the best MP Shooter Gameplay Template out, Splinter Cell is coming from the grave, AC2 and Farcry 3 influenced an entire decade of game design, now Ubisoft is smart enough to have retro Prince of Persia revive the franchise
Not gonna lie, this is not the sort of game I play but love hearing your opinions on games, which is why I watched this video.
As for Prince of Persia as a franchise, I only have two experiences of the series. The film (which I really do not remember much about) and the original game back on the Amiga.
I absolutely loved that game but it was frustrating as hell as I never really got that far into it. Of course compared to today, the graphics were so basic, but back when it came out it was so revolutionary. The way the character moved was so much more realistic than most games back then (although games like Another World and Flashback took it to a whole nother level).
So yeah, gaming wise, it's the OG for me as that is all I have played.
if you're not into 2D/Metroidvania games all i'm going to say is that you're really missing out
@@GRGCompletionist Mate, if I don't like something, how am I missing out? I have a mate who doesn't like FPS games ... doesn't mean he is missing out as he likes RPGs more, so plays them.
@@caphowdy666don't know, maybe you never gave them a chance. I was on the same page with the yakuza games and plenty of jrpgs with turn based combat but now i've come to really appreciate them
@@GRGCompletionist Dude, I have been playing games since the 1980s, I know what I like. How the hell do you know I have never given them a chance? Stop fucking telling me what I should and should not like.
@@caphowdy666 I feel like you gotta have thicker skin than becoming this emotional about silly youtube comments lol. Most of them are probably children.
To this day, the Prince of Persia movie is one of my favorite video game movies of all time. Really did well with putting the sands of time idea into a movie.
Ben Kingsley as the Vizier was fantastic too. Enjoyed all the casting on that, I'm not the biggest JG fan but I think he carried the sass of the Prince well. And same with the princess, she grew on me quickly.
Yeah, honestly for a film adaptation of a video game it wasn't too bad from what I recall. Been awhile since I seen it but I don't remember hating it.
LMAO I love how you tried to wipe the sun off you like it was dirty.
I found the demo was very impressive for the same reason as you, the controls really won me over. I`m not sure if it`s a day 1 buy tho, just because i have SO MANY other games to play right now. During the winter Steam sale alone I bought 13 games. Also, I am 31 but i think I`ve only ever played one other Prince of Persia game, which I believe was The Two Thrones on Wii. I remember liking it but don't have strong memories of it.
I’m going to have to try this one. I loved the old PoP games so I’m glad you enjoyed this one as a huge fan of Sands of Time.
Maybe Ubisoft should stick to side-scrolling games because Rayman Origins/Legends were amazing too.
So I’m an OG PoP fan. I played the Mechner games, Sands of Time games, the Forgotten Sands, 2008 (which is actually terrific, it got a lot of shit for being “unfailable”) but I think they were on to something with that title and it had some legitimately insane set pieces. Sands of Time did stand out to me for the ridiculously good storytelling. The Prince narrating the adventure was groundbreaking and I think influenced a lot of games to try things like that.
I loved the demo for this, my two favorite game genres are Metroidvanias and Soulslikes. Really looking forward to playing it tonight, I’ve kept pretty spoiler free and I can’t wait to dig in.
I've loved all types of POP stuff that I've consumed across the years: the movie, the Original Jordan Mechner games, The Four Sands of Time games, the 2008 reboot and even Prince of Persia 3D. They've all done their different things, keeping the franchise fresh and exciting, and I'm pretty sure I will enjoy this game too when I finally get to play it.
Man, I would've connected this game's concept to the PoP trilogy lore by playing for example as the young adult son of the Prince. He wants to become an elite warrior and has big shoes to fill so he's never taken seriously by the Inmortals nor by his father. While the Inmortals go to the Prince's rescue, he goes on his own journey- he was there when they took his father and has seen the culprits so he follows that clue. The potential to continue the series completely fresh is there idk
I completely agree! Movement and combat feel great. I've been playing this on Steam Deck OLED, and it's amazing!
The combat looks extremely satisfying.
I’m glad ppl like this, didn’t think to much of it when I first saw it but had a feeling it’d be really cool hope they make another
someone needs to clip Jake making the parry sound, it's like f'king great XD 3:36
I LOVE this game so much!! Prince of Persia is back!!!
I was introduced to PoP since DOS, and I have seen it evolved through the years. I'd say, this direction they did, is the right one for this IP. Prince of Persia back then was a breakthrough in terms of movement. It was the game before wherein you can move your character in almost 3 dimensions, and allowed you in game movement that wasn't seen in games of that era (Remember this was in the time of DOS systems). The level design was also good, surprising, and challenging. They tried an evolution towards God of War style gamplay because that was popular during the release of Sands Of Time, which was the PoP that I was the least fan of. This current version, looks like it paid homage to PoP roots as it tries to breakthrough traditional 2d-metrovania movement (though falls short of Dead Cells but still not bad). With that, I respect the current version, and I'm more inclined to even buy it now after Jake's review, as I believe that's where PoP should shine - dungeon movement and design.
3D Prince of Persia games were before God of war. Infact Prince of Persia is more iconic than God of war. God of war was never big outside of PlayStation community
Hi Jake, Happy New Year's from South Africa 🇿🇦 😊
Just a little off-topic, just wanted to let you know that I just finished playing Mad Max. You were right it was a good game!
Hey Jake, I've been playing the game now for 6 hours (according to the stats), running around collecting things and going the directions I shouldn't be of course. I've been a huge fan since the Sands of Time and it was the game that got me interested in Ubisoft and then onto Assassins Creed.
For me this is so far an incredible game, graphically the art style is cool, movement, combat and difficulty like you mentioned is perfect and I think scaled very well as you go through the game.
I'd love them to go away and do another game similar to this with the original Prince even if it's taking the original story but keeping it in this platform style I think that could be a good move to get fans back on side because this game has gotten a lot of great reviews.
Prince of Persia is one of my most favourite gaming franchises of all time and I'm so glad to see it finally come back and getting so much praise.
We need more AAA 2D games
Can't wait to check out the full game
early Digital Deluxe needs to go away
Great vid mate I loved the look of it
I dig your videos, not a Prince of Persia fan. Just stopped to say your thumbnail made me think you were talking about pop music for a sec, that would have been wild.
hahaha
I'm about 30% of the way in so far and I'm enjoying it a lot. I just replayed Sands Of Time right before just so I could get back into the mode, and while Lost Crown still doesn't match up to Sands in terms of how effectively it tells it's story, I'm still interested to see where it goes. And the gameplay is just great.
I loved trying to play the original game but I could never really get into it. Later, when my dad saw me playing Sands of Time and I told him it was based on that old game I used to watch him play, we had a really fun time
Sands of Time was huuuuuge for me and I was literally blown away by it at the time. Still up there as a favourite. Was hyped for the remake. This looks good but it isn't what I really wanted. Was surprised at the full price too.
Played the demo and I will definitely be getting the full game when it’s on sale, it’s a really fun game. I’m far too used to paying no more than about £20-25 for a metroidvania, and in many cases paying less than £10. So the price is a tough one to commit to imo.
Having grown up with the original 89 PoP having this be a throwback to the origin/legacy of the series I am so happy it is doing so well.
Can't wait to pick up my copy on the Switch.
In my opinion AC has kind of taken the place PoP once did back in the SoT era. So it finding a new identity with The Lost Crown I hope we keep this type of formula going forward.
3:38 anyone else heard him yell FUCKING 😂
3:37 Best Audio Clip Ever 😂
The demo was good, definitely going to pick this up.
I disagree the world isn't starving for more metroidvanias. It's one of my favorite genres and I'm tired of replaying the same ones every year. Hoping to add this one to the rotation!
I liked when Jake tried to brush the sun off his shirt
U might hate this Jake but I liked the prince of Persia movie. Also sand of time was amazing. Can't wait to play this.
Remember the Fenix Rising game? I somehow have a feeling that The Lost Crown was originally meant to be part of that universe and was then turned into a Prince of Persia game. But still, it's really, really good one. So far I'm about one third in and I'm absolutely hooked.
Currently playing through the game and really enjoying it.
i'm late but it was the demo that got me into this game Jake, i can't wait to play it, if it wasn't for the demo, i probably wouldn't have picked it up, i wanted to try this one before i committed (i wish demo's would come back again too)
I grew up with the 00s games, but played the og platformer when it was out on the 3ds eshop back in the day.
Hmmm I was skeptical… 0:28 thanks for sharing 🎉
I played the demo and was thoroughly impressed. I definitely want to pick it up at some point. Sidenote, Jake, do you plan on doing a vid here or on Gameranx about Enshrouded? I'm curious of your thoughts cause we tend to have incredibly similar likes and opinions in gaming.
I've played every PoP since snes. Loved every one (except PoP 3d). Really looking forward to this one.
Never played Prince of persia but...I tried the demo and loved it. After playing it for about 30 mins I knew I had to get it. It's been amazing honestly.
For me it started from POP 2 Shadow and the Flame on my 486. Love it goes back to that era.
I’m hype to play this on my PlayStation Portal. Feels like it’ll be perfect for it
Downloading the deluxe as we speak, played the demo a bunch the last few days. Happy to play a POP in 2024
I never fully explored the PoP games, I’d played a good chunk of Warrior Within on the PSP back in the day (GOAT game) and the first hour of The Two Thrones so this one is probably a nice entry point/refresher.
Sadly I don’t have the means to play WW/TTT anymore, but if I like this enough then I can probably snag a copy of SoT to play on the Xbox as it’s backwards compatible - OR I could just wait for the remake, but fudge knows how long we’ll be waiting for that.
Just finished it, great game. Was pleasantly surprised by all the elements; gameplay, story, battle system, everything.
I still can’t get past the new character’s eyebrows. What a handsome collection of pixels he is 😅
New ideas are always appreciated, this game def caught my eye. I agree, it's a bit tiring having SO many remasters of games i already know. Plus i actually often prefer the old visuals. I love low poly models and ps2 textures
It's nearing 2 months layer, but here's my two Euro-cents: The very first PoP, the one you'd launch in DOS, was actually one of my very first games alongside wolf3d, Duke Nukem II, and Tomb Raider (which was mind-blowing, moving to "real" 3D), and then later I of course also ended up on the "Sands of Time" games, which I thought was a cool progression of it. - Heck, I even played "PoP 3D" before that, which actually was interesting enough because of the "re-imagining" alone, even if it didn't hit the mark. And then I wasn't too crazy about the style of that "reboot" (which I'll come back to), but they actually did what I wanted them to do, and that is to make a more "serious" follow-up using the Anvil-engine. Though, I didn't up playing it due to a very mixed reception. - But anyway, when they showed the first trailer of this latest entry, I was also like "tf is this", but probably more in how it kind of gave the impression of a simplified mobile-style game at first, especially since they seemed to try and act all "appealing to the youngsters" with the hiphop-music they added. It's such a (poor) marketing-move and it didn't do it any favors.
BUT, at that time, perhaps on the same day or even the same video or event (was it Summer Game Fest?) they also showed some behind-the-scenes stuff with I believe the director talking about what they were doing, and he made it clear that he was a fan of the originals and had a vision to made a modern version of it. - So then I was like "OK, we'll see then.", and indeed, I completely agree, it makes total sense as a modern present-day version of those old games, with even inspirations of basically all of them at that. - I think it could barely be done better.
I haven't played it fully yet, by the way, just the demo, but yea it plays really well and it even challenging, that's what matters. Now, I'm still not crazy about its flashy almost anime-like style, with everything being so crazy-fast and all that. I mean, the way I would have done it is keeping it a bit closer to the original, where motion is "realistic", as if you were watching humans from the side, though still with more action and perhaps even superhuman stuff like in the "Sands"-games. Yet, still not as "arcade-y" as what we got now. - STILL, I think it makes sense. It needs to be engaging or it would fall flat. I can really tell the developers gave it their all in terms of level-design, puzzles, action, feel, animations, cutscenes, art, and all of that. It's also a goddam polished and complete product, and I'm glad that Ubisoft greenlit this, because this is what I loved about Ubisoft-games in the past. I'm not even very down on their big bloated projects, at least some of them (though I don't care for how bland "Far Cry" became, while I really like the side-stuff like "Blood Dragon" and "Primal", for instance). But this is what should be supported more, from both sides.
Finally, something people don't talk about enough (or that I know of) is the soundtrack by Gareth Coker (with Mentrix). This soundtrack goes HARD. It can be calm and beautiful and moody as well, but when it goes hard, it gets to absolute epic proportions to the levels of what the likes of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and Danny Elfman put out, or even beyond that. It has some choir-work that would make Danny Elfman cry, and that alongside rockin' drums and guitars. - It actually got me, a musician who hasn't touched an instrument for way too long, to pick up a guitar again. I mean, really, it's fkn awesome! - It's also two and a half hours, by the way, but it's worth just putting on and having a listening-session, finding some favorites. I mean, yea, you have to be into that as standalone music. But I am. I rock out to soundtracks like this full-blast.
couldn't recommend this game more!! big PoP fan with WW being my favourite (played this whole game with the ww skin) but even if you know nothing about it, play this!
I really enjoyed the demo. Will be waiting on a sale for it though. I actually played the demo on PS5 and Steam Deck. It plays so smooth. The traversal is amazing.
Just beat it and those boss fights were so good
They have every reason to make a sequel for this! It was an amazing experience! Each boss fight was hype af! Especially Azhdaha and the forest baddie! Damn I had fun
Honestly, it's a mixed bag for me. The original games were something special - it wasn't just about its fantasy setting, but how it brought acrobatics to life in a way that felt realistic. Remember how the first game's movements were based on actual human motion? That brought an element of realism that was pretty rare at the time.
Now, everything's super flashy and leans completely into fantasy. It's more like Dead Cells rather then PoP. The combat and movements now feel totally exaggerated, prioritizing style over the authenticity that was the hallmark of the original series.
Ubisoft had a chance to take a different route here. They could've created a whole new IP, something fresh and exciting, just like they did with Assassin's Creed. Instead, they chose to go back to the Prince of Persia well, but in doing so, they've strayed from what made the franchise stand out in the first place. (Kind of what they did with Prince of Persia 2008)
I understand the need to keep things fresh for today's audience, but there's a certain charm and more grounded feeling in the original that's missing here.
So, while new players might enjoy the high-octane action and dazzling graphics, for others familiar with old PoP games it's a bit of a letdown. It seems like a missed opportunity to introduce a new IP that could have stood on its own, rather than trying to remake the classic and losing some of its magic in the process.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Exactly. Well said. It's nothing like the original. Bit disappointing tbh
Though it's not exactly the same type of gameplay, the Zeno Clash series and the recent prequel Clash: Artifacts of Chaos may prove interesting on providing combat in a great and stylish bizarre prehistoric monster world with more grounded movements.
You won't really see any parkouring or wall running acrobatics like in PoP though, but it's a series with very much its own identity, imagination, world, and solid gameplay in a bizarre yet oddly grounded world.
i play the sands trilogy every year at least once. it's one of my fav game trilogies , and i still enjoyed playing this new game.
I don't see it as a let down at all. it's clearly a different experience from the sands trilogy.
I'm just glad to get a new prince game , if this succeeds there's a chance we could get games like the sands trilogy. we're already getting a remake of sands of time.
as long as it isn't a shit game and actually succeeds, i don't see this new game damaging the reputation of the pop franchise
Hmm Dead Cells kinda reminded me of PoP in ways.. So maybe the PoP devs noticed some parallels and in turn took some inspiration from DC.. Great observation! I can’t wait till my preorder comes in..
Did NOT know there was a demo and am now downloading it as I type.
I still love Warrior Within. Pretty sure it was described as 'When Sands of Time started listening to Linkin Park' but I love Linkin Park so it was fine. I remember Ubisoft being the company that made cool acrobatics in games. Splinter Cell had things like climbing and split jumps, Assassin's Creed had parkour, but Prince of Persia had crazy swings, flips, slides and jumps. It's nice to see them bringing that back a bit with this one.
I played the demo and had some fun, but I still have the 'this is 80 Australian dollars?' feeling. The storytelling especially just sort of felt low budget. If it was a bit cheaper I'd be much more likely to pick it up but at the moment I think I'll wait for it to go on sale.
9:52 if leaks are anything to go by and a news update in November SOT remake may be closer than we think, and I kind of expect these two to coexist simply because that’s something Ubisoft had been doing recently with it’s IP I’m also noticing a tone shift with POP it’s going back to not entirely light hearted but less god of war like warrior was
Been a fan of Prince of Persia from the 90's, when the original 2D platform game released on 3.5" floppy disc! Was one of my favourite games as a teenager. I then bought PoP 3D sometime later. So Prince of Persia is just so nostalgic for me, like the original Doom & Doom II...
This is off topic, but have people watched this documentary film called Attack of the Doc. It’s about G4 tv and attack of the show. It’s on YT, I thought you would want to know, if you haven’t talked about it already. Good documentary. Takes me back.
I'm definitely going to give the demo a go!
5:07 Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination
Look, this game is good and fun. I do enjoy it BUT I don't want this style to be the future of POP franchise. I want to see an actual AAA POP game in full 3D 3rd person action adventure again. POP deserve it. Yes original classic POP was indeed in 2D style, but we all know the 3D era is the one that make POP popular. I mean just imagine game like DMC and GOW somehow got a new game and it was 2.5D style like this. Sure it could be good, but trust me a lot of people will dislike it. Another actual example I can give is Darksiders Genesis. This game was okay, but a lot of people don't like it much since it is not a full 3D like the previous games. Again, I don't hate this Lost Crown, I love it. But for real, if this Lost Crown was actually in full 3D hack and slash game, this game will blow up in hype. This Lost Crown is really not in many people radar for getting new game now, not even for most POP fans. That is the sad thing because this will lead to Ubisoft thinking people don't want POP back. People want the actual POP game in 3rd person back. Not to mentioned the remake of SOT that supposed to be in development now...which idk, they could be cancelled it...that game is in development hell now. It just sad to see this is what happen to POP franchise now...
i’ve been a believer since that first announcement. i think more big games should do 2D style games especially metroidvanias. GoW spinoff would be epic as well
Been playing these games since the first pc game step dad was big into games pronce of persia was one his favs when it came available on the home systems its a good ip that dont get as much love as it deserves this game looking forward to it got a few more titles to finish up b4 i give this my full attn
Started with the OG PoP on my dad’s computer. Wasn’t wild about the PS3 title, even tho I wanted to love it.
Really excited to play this game it looks sooo good
best game i played on ps5 i desperately want a sequel.
Finally getting around to playing this and I'm absolutely loving it. Hard for me to explain but the game has no fat, it's lean and smooth
I hope it sells well. It’s so good. Really brings back the magic of a different era. Just like Metroid dread
does the beginning of the game actually start out like the demo or is the demo further into the game? It feels like we are missing something in the beginning of the demo.
Didn’t know that about AC first being conceived as PoP 🤯. Baldiniiiiii W
This game is, without a doubt, one of the best games I've ever played. I couldn't put it down. People who shit on it have no idea what they're talking about and probably haven't played it. Some of the platforming gets ridiculous, yes, but it's truly satisfying once you pull it off. The combat is fantastic and the controls are smooth and snappy. And, oh my god, is it beautiful. Get it!
Hey Jake, how about the prince of Persia skin dlc in assassin's creed mirage? I think it's the closest we will get to 3rd person pop game anytime soon
My first experience with PoP was when someone lent me the game at school, it was on the ps2 but I cannot remember which game it was
Sands of Time
This looks good,probably I'll wait for Sale though
I have not played it yet, but I will… once I have finished once again the sands of time saga, plus the 2008 prince of persia!
Ordered the game yesterday.
I played the demo, and MAN what a cliff hanger haha, I was so ready, and then it ended
Anyone remember the prince of Persia flash version? Was that a flash remake of the og? With the spike fall death traps?
No one talks about forgotten sands .. so good!
I started with the sands of time and played most releases and then pretty much gave up with that weird Nolan North one. I wasn't holding out much hope for this one but then I saw everyone raving about it so I did something I hardly ever do and preordered it. I'm so ready for a good metroidvania and it's a bonus that it's a POP game.
