The new Prince of Persia game looks like a banger, but otherwise yeah
No
Everyone ive seen online is saying it looks really good. And its not the normal Ubi open world slop so why not.
Fuck Ubisoft, does nobody have principles as far as not supporting dogshit companies?
Reviving a dead IP that was pretty much the exclusive representative of tightly-designed linear 3D platformers, as well as generally cinematic platformers, and just going "We want the Hollow Knight audience. We want the Dust An Elysian Tail audience. We want the Dead Cells audience." is a really pro move, fuck them for that.
This is sort of tied to my insane rant about Symphony of the Night rant and you can see that here so I have bias I guess, and also I take viddy james way too seriously. I've been waiting like a decade for these jackasses to make a new game I like, and the best they can do is shitcan an underbaked remake (which seems to have destroyed the studio they originally assigned to it) and pony up this goofy metroidvania thing.
Didnt say i was going to support them. Just that the game looks good.
Also isnt 2D Prince of Persia a return to series roots?
Good dont 😤
Also yes but no, like PoP Fallen King is also a 2D game and that does nooot make it a return to form. While the 1989 game has some roundabout pathways and a little backtracking, it's a very methodical game with heavy movement and a somewhat complicated control setup for a basically one button game. It's much more of a navigational puzzler, and combat is basically an afterthought in it.
Every PoP aside from Two Thrones has fallen on its face by including dogshit combat so at least they're continuing this tradition...
