Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will be realeased alongside the Sands of Time movie next year. (More posts on that here and here.)

Check out the website here. Now, doesn’t that look like our good ol’ Warrior Within Prince?

Looks like Ubisoft has erred on the side of caution, creating an industry-standard sequel that’s simply Assassin’s Creed + new features.

Don’t be surprised if it makes them a TON of money!

Got time? Then follow-up on Radical Entertainment’s just-released Prototype…

…or Visceral Games’ Dante’s Inferno

…or Vigil Games’ Darksiders: Wrath of War

…or (of course) Sony’s God of War III

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?

• Mutant (in hoodie) v/s Army (in jeeps, helicopters and tanks)? – Check
• Modern cityscape? – Check
• Awesome Parkour? – Check
• Heavy metal soundtrack? – Check
• Mutant wins? – Check!!

God Almighty! Could this be the all-new Assassin’s Creed?

After all, at the end of the first game, we left Mr. Desmond Miles (Altair) locked-up with the Animus, in Abstergo Industries’ building. And the room did have large windows that looked out over what seemed to be a modern metropolis…

Unfortunately for those hoping for a more modern continuation to the Middle Ages tale, the video-grabs were from a game called Prototype. Check out one of their new trailers:

And this, it seems, is what Assassin’s Creed II will be: Click here

Hmmm…
