First direct feed Prince of Persia shots are 100% incredible
Colour us excited. Ubisoft’s released the first set of proper Prince of Persia screens, and they pound the previous scans into submission with their all-out awesomeness. Hopefully we’ll get more from Ubidays at the end of the month. After the link.

Mmm Cel Shading. Perhaps this’ll help prevent the usual UbiTearing

If this isn’t any good I shall officially be “very cross”.

Reminds me a bit of SotC/Ico in the art style on some of those pics.

I’m excited. This is my morning excitement thing. I reckon those screens are fantastic.

I hope they manage a similar ‘scale’ to Shadow of the Colossus. *Still* the best gaming world ever created, for my money.

I doesn’t look like it based on the screens. I think you’ll just be looking at back drops etc. (see the pic were he’s running across the roof-tops for example).
Still SotC was more about atmosphere than scale, imo.

Just to put a downer on things, I don’t like the look of this. OK, well, it looks pretty, but what I’ve read doesn’t excite me – seems as if every iteration has stripped away more and more of what made Sands of Time great, gradually becoming this generic platformer with all the buzz words: open world, improved combat, moody hero, Japanese influences… meh.
I think Mirror’s Edge is the new Prince of Persia.
