Prince fo Persia (New)
I'm really not going to say much here. The video is just that impressive. Of course it is just a trailer but from what I've seen of some of the screen shots the game play will look almost as awesome as the trailer. So without any further ado I present Ubisoft's first released trailer of Prince of Persia.

PERSIA

Proportions

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - May 28, 2008 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest
video game publishers, unveiled the first trailer and game details for
Prince of Persia. The all-new epic adventure marks the return of the
critically acclaimed franchise and its first appearance on next-generation
platforms. Led by the all-star team that created the previous Prince of
PersiaR Sands of Time trilogy, Prince of Persia has been in development for
over three years. The video game opens an entirely new chapter in the Prince
of Persia universe in addition to introducing a fresh Illustrative art
style, evolved combat system, open world structure and dynamic AI - most
notably in the form of the Prince's powerful ally Elika. Prince of Persia is
scheduled to release Holiday 2008 for the Xbox 360R video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATIONR3 computer
entertainment system and Windows-based PC. Ubisoft will also release a
Prince of Persia game specifically designed for the Nintendo DS(TM) system,
featuring an entirely new storyline and additional characters. More details
to be unveiled in the future.
"In so many ways the original Prince of Persia franchise set the standard
for the action-adventure video game genre," said Tony Key, senior vice
president of sales and marketing for Ubisoft. "With the new Prince of
Persia, we not only have a brand-new Prince, but an epic storyline and
captivating universe that gives players a truly compelling gameplay
experience that continues to elevate the genre to new heights."
About Prince of Persia
Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself
caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness:
the God of Light, Ormazd versus his brother Ahriman, the destructive God of
Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the
legendary Tree of Life - an act which threatens to plunge the entire world
into eternal darkness. Manifested in the form of the Corruption, a dark
substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the Prince
must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil
Corruption. Game features include:
. A new hero emerges: Master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting
tactics of the most agile warrior of all time. Grip fall down the face of a
building, perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations, swing over
canyons, buildings and anything that is reachable. This new rogue warrior
must utilize all of his new skills along with a whole new combat system to
battle Ahriman's corrupted lieutenants to heal the land from the dark
Corruption and restore the light.
. A new epic journey begins: Escape to experience the new fantasy
world of ancient Persia. Masterful storytelling and sprawling environments
will deliver to action-adventure fans an experience that rivals even the
best Hollywood movies.
. A new open world structure: A first for the Prince of Persia
franchise - now you have the freedom to determine how the game evolves in
this non-linear adventure. Players will decide how they unfold the storyline
by choosing their path in the open-ended world.
. Emergence of a deadly new ally: History's greatest ally is revealed
in the form of Elika, a dynamic AI companion who joins the Prince in his
fight to save the world. Gifted with magical powers, she interacts with the
player in combat, acrobatics and puzzle-solving enabling the Prince to reach
new heights of deadly high-flying artistry through special duo acrobatic
moves or devastating fighting combo attacks.
. All new for Next-Gen: The franchise's debut on next-generation
consoles utilizes Ubisoft's proprietary Anvil engine, the same engine used
to develop Assassins Creed(TM).
