First Prince of Persia gameplay footage released

After the break. The more we see, the more we like. Using Sigur Ros as the music makes it even more full of win as far as we’re concerned.

Check it out.

Sigur Ros? Ubi just won major cool points from me.

This game will be epic.

Wow, that’s just fucking lovely. Coupled with the Sigur Ros soundtrack it’s got a real “Ico” look and feel. Straight to the top of my ‘want’ list, that.

That won’t be in the game. Betcha.

That trailers sold me on this. Shades of Ico in the style, possibly echoed by the second character, and the combat looks very nice.

This will be the greatest piece of art ever created by man*

(*apart from Diablo 3, natch.)

I’m a bit concerned about those glowy bouncy circle things.

They’re just an easy way of telling the player where they should be aiming to go. Huge glowing circles isn’t the most elegant of solutions I agree, but I don’t think it’s a huge concern.

I thought the huge glowing circles in the environment would be for super-jumps (I presume from the woman), a new way of getting around in certain areas, maybe?

It looks fantastic, the fighting especially.

Finally got to watch this on the big TV. Looks utterly stunning. By far the best thing to come out of E3 this year. Really hope this makes it out before Christmas now.
