The Prince that never was
Prince of Persia 2008 has had more than its fair share of heated debates.
People have hated it. People have loved it. And people have even posted articles/opinions, without ever having played the game!
For some of us fans, even if we have a love-hate relationship with PoP 2008, we’ll play the Epilogue DLC… just because!
Having said that, if you’re a PC gamer, then you know about this post:
Unfortunately for business reasons we won’t be seeing any PoP DLC appear. Sorry guys!
Made in early February by a Ubisoft employee, on the Ubisoft forums, it was kinda heart-breaking.
It’s unlikely that a PC gamer would buy a console simply to play a DLC package of a game. S/he could borrow a friend’s console, or could search YouTube to find video walkthroughs: Click here
Whatever it is that s/he’d do, s/he’d experience the Epilogue DLC and come away with some impressions:
- Linear game-play!
- No light seeds – but you can collect …err… Frescos?
- Detailed, dark, dreary, dank and depressing environs
- No fertility landscaping!
- Tighter timing on the platforming
- New power plate that creates timed sections
- Wash, rinse and repeat combat with Elika’s daddy, the Warrior, the Hunter, and corrupted soldiers
Jordan Mechner and PoP Team… will you never return to the Prince of Persia series?
