Prince of Persia Remake to be announced during Ubisoft Forward next week (Jason Schreier Podcast)
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
It's going to be monetised by all that $$$ violent Sony will be paying to make it exclusive.
Disclaimer: I have absolutely no idea or any inside information to suggest this is true, but honestly it wouldn't be a massive surprise if it was.
If it's not related to PoP 08 I don't give a fuck. 08 is the only game in the series I've liked.
The listing leak was full priced, I don't think it's remake of the classic. Plus, I doubt Ubi would release a physical version of such small title right away.
Hoping they have some of the designers from The Forgotten Sands on the team. That game overall was pretty....forgettable. lol. But it had some of the best platforming puzzle sections in the entire series.
Me with each POP tease/rumor:
You and me both.
SoT trilogy can rot for all I care, but do something with PoP 08 again, Ubi.
That's probably true. They were very clearly attempting to return to the look and feel of the first Sands of Time (to tie in with the Sands of Time film).
Though even within that canon, there's some big changes between the games. Warrior Within especially feels like more of a reboot than any other game in the series!
POP Sands of Time, was one of the best games I have ever played. Just a lot of good memories, awesome.
I mean, that doesn't mean anything. It could have just been a place holder logo used by the retailer. Or Ubisoft updated it. Not that whatever is being announced is a remake of 2008.
Good man 👍Me with every PoP tease/rumor:
Absolutely loved 2008 PoP, probably my favourite in the series and I was always sad it never got a follow up.
Ah yes. I've been dying to play this game and never got around to it on the ps3... hopefully I can this time
Agreed. I liked 2008 just fine, but it did not make a lasting impression on me like Sands of Time did. I did not become attached to the characters, and the platforming almost felt like QTEs without the button prompts. Gorgeous art style, but that's really the only thing that stuck with me
PoP 2018 is also the game that made me mistakenly think that Nolan North had no range. I later read an interview with North where said he asked the developer what kind of accent they were looking for, and they said, "None. We just want Drake."
Anyway - I'm really hoping the remake is Sands of Time. It still holds up fairly well today, but a remake could be incredible.
I doubt that. They are not going to reboot PoP by remaking a game that already failed to reboot the franchise once. I like PoP 2008 but it was a big step back compared to the previous ones.
I did. :(
But I would rather a sequel to 2008, or a remake of sands of time. A remake of 2008 doesnt strike me as a game that would appeal to anyone.
Exactly. Like the 2008 game isn't terrible or anything, it just feels shockingly bland and unambitious. The whole "Elika plays the game for you" mechanic makes platforming pointless, the combat isn't very good, and the Prince's character is a selfish prick who it's impossible to feel anything for, which is made even more apparent by the complete and utter lack of effort put in by the writers and voice directors toward making the Prince anything more than Nathan Drake in a headwrap.
Like if anything they should make a SEQUEL to 2008 with him as the main villain. That would be how you follow up on PoP 2008.
I'll just echo what others have said. 2008 was a decent game, but not great like some of the others. I also feel it could get by with a simple remaster whereas Sands of Time or the original (or even The Forgotten Sands) would do much better with a full remake.
I think the worst case scenario is if this is actually a Remaster of 08. An actual, full blown top-to-bottom remake would mean they could at least redesign the awful platforming and mindless combat. The setting certainly wasn't the issue with PoP 08.
(although please god get someone other than Nolan North)

The original 1989 PoP is perfect in the DOS/Amiga version. (SNES was kinda cool but a different game) The "classic" remake on PS360 was neat, but didn't really feel right.
I don't think an actual version of the original game that captures what made the original great would fly with today's audiences. So I hope they don't touch that. Sands of Time though? I could see it.
