It's also the Rayman studio (Ubi Montpellier) working on it

A good point.

Time to bring back the turban

 

[Kurotri]

I'll be there day 1. It just pains me to see that people really dislike this game, every trailer has a huge amount of dislikes..

 

[EverydayBeast]

Sands of time was a game btw that had a special taste on the PS2.

Indeed it did.

 

[havoc00]

Ill play it on Gamepass in May

 

[Shin-Ra]

Will the game be functional without a patch and UbiSod account?

Any retail boxes going around with added warning labels?

 

[Camreezie]

Made by the studio that made Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. They know what they're doing.

What have they been doing since legends? Just this in 10 years?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Sands of time was a game btw that had a special taste on the PS2.

Yeah? What'd it taste like?

 

[Roufianos]

Awful song in the first trailer and questionable protagonist aside, game looks extremely good.

£50 for a side scroller though? Fuck off.

 

[Pimpollo818]

It looks edgy, but as long as the bones are solid, I'm game. I love metroidvanias.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Gameplay looks great.



I hope it does well so that we can revisit some other IPs that live better in a 2d-ish environment.

Prince of Metroid in my veins

£50 for a side scroller though? Fuck off.

What's even more surprising, it's apparently a 25 hours long game

 

[Calverz]

I love Metroid style games but no steam release? Get fucked Ubisoft

 

[Unknown Soldier]

People in 2024 really don't know that Prince of Persia literally started out as a side scrolling platformer game.



Unrelated historical tidbits: The Persians, where modern Iran is today, were not black, were not from Africa, and spoke the unique Indo-European language Persian, today commonly called Farsi.

 

[Kadve]

Getting Saints Row flashbacks from this....

You do know he's literally the creator of the franchise, yes?

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

I misread thread title at first: Prince of Persia: The Lost Clown

That must be a sign

[xrnzaaas]

I wonder how long before nexusmods bans the skin color mod.

[IlGialloMondadori]

I want to buy this for the Deck asap, but not buying it on UbiSoft Connect. I'll wait for the Steam release.

Mechner seems pleased with it returning to side scrolling.

-Metroid Dread inspiration

Mister Wolf , we are vindicated.

Farsi language option is bad ass. Might try it.

Embargo is a week early with a demo. It doesn't get more confident than that.

 

[amigastar]

Here's all console perf options (will stick with Switch on this one):

PC - 8K @120fps

Spoiler

right?

 

[Fart Knight]

4K/120? The first real nextgen experience right here

 

[OmegaSupreme]

So the new protagonist is gay then?

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Here's all console perf options (will stick with Switch on this one):

Nice. I’ve kinda changed my mind and I may get this day one because I miss PoP and Metroidvanias are my jam.

Spoiler

Also I want the Warrior Within outfit because it was my favorite of the Sands Trilogy. Don’t care if I stand alone with that opinion.

Still can’t decide between Switch and Xbox though. I’m hoping the Switch version doesn’t have significant visual downgrades to reach that 1080p/60. Gonna play the demo for both on the 11th and decide.

Also; I know they scrapped and started over on the remake, but honestly I’d probably get a Sands of Time trilogy remaster collection day one (even better if it included ‘08 and Forgotten Sands as well, but I’ll settle for the original trilogy if I have to). I still have the GC versions of the trilogy, ‘08 on 360, and FS on the Wii, though I never finished the last one.

 

[Duchess]

I do hope this game reviews well.

 

[Fart Knight]

Dude obviously got a harem full of bitches aka Pimp of Persia.

Why can't y'all be normal?

The game is apparently ~25GB.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I’ve got way too much great shit to play through. A UbiSoft game is the last thing I’d buy at launch,

It’ll be $10 in no time.

If this were the 3D open world slop they usually produce I’d agree, but it’s a 2.5D Metroidvania with what seems like pretty in depth melee combat. Also their 2(.5)D output is usually pretty good.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Will check out the demo on the 11th and then decide. Not sure how i feel about this yet....

I'll make a review thread in 30 min if Draugoth doesn't do it by then.

 

[DragoonKain]

Metroidvanias are my favorite genre, currently playing Vernal Edge, this will be my next game.

[balls of snow]

Gonna test the demo on the steamdeck oled.
800p at 60 fps is gonna be no problem if the devs target platform is 60 fps on switch.
