When I was a kid without any money, the only thing I could afford to play were the demos of games that I could download over a modem. I got plenty of enjoyment out of just playing the demo of each game but I know I missed out on a lot of games by not being able to play the whole thing. Disposable income is nice to have.

Thanks for the infos. I am not really into the game. But the screenshot to map feature is really good. I hope this will make it to other games of the genre at some point.

I love sands of time. The whole trilogy was great. The ending of two thrones... perfect.
@persephinae5 ай бұрын
my fave PoP games were Sands of Time and actually Prince of Persia 2008. PoP08 still holds up all these years later and I wish wish wish they'd do a proper sequel (that gameboy game doesn't count).

Played the demo today. Instantly loaded up D-Fend and played my original copy of POP with my 12 year old daughter. Brutal as ever, and we didn't make it... ran down the clock and needed another 2 min. What fun. Definitely picking this up

Played and finished the demo today, it's really solid just a little disappointing that it cuts out before the first boss. With the demo and this video its definitely one I'll pick up after I work through my 2023 backlog. Metroid Vania feels like a perfect fit for Prince of Persia so I'm definitely looking forward to more from this version of the series.

I played the 3 sands of time trilogy game, but my fav is PoP 2008, i really like the atmosphere, the art, the characters, even the "easyness" of the parkour was relaxing

The demo was so good that I immediately purchased the Deluxe Edition as soon as I finished it. I havent played a metroidvania since Shadow Complex and to see a PoP spin on the formula is a pleasant surprise.

The Warrior Within is and will always be my most favorite Prince Of Persia game ever. It has so many amazing combat mechanics, the story is SO AWESOME and they really made the Prince one hardcore warrior in that one as well too!! Really loved this Before You Buy here as well too though guys, awesome job as always!! Definitely will be keeping an eye out for this one!!

Love me some prince of persia. I was expecting this to be linear like the old games but the fact it's a metroidvania is actually pretty sweet. Interesting we aren't the prince this time. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Great video Jake. I think the significance of this game for Iranians is that for once it has the Persian/Farsi language and subtitles embedded within it. For once Persians can play it in their own language!

Just finished playing the demo. Even from that small sample size (it's actually a decent sized chunk for a demo) I can tell I will love this game. At first, I was put off by the price, £49.99 for a 2.5D side scrolling platform game, it seemed excessive to me, but I enjoyed it that much that I may actually get this one right away instead of waiting for it to hit a sale.
@Laru-5 ай бұрын
Uplay sales are kinda insane so that's why games are a bit inflated on the price i think. I've bought games with a pay 2 get 3 offer + a 75% off and another 10% with coins on the final price. There's a ton of good metroid you could get for a fraction of the price like blasphemous , ori , hollow knight or bloodstained. For platformers even rayman legends from ubi has insane value for the price. But ye if i had the money i'd get this one too.
@cenciende94015 ай бұрын
What the HELL does being side scrolling have to do with price? Did you have a stroke? Fall out of bed onto your head this morning? STYLE has NOTHING to do with VALUE. People like you are infuriating to developers and people who have a clue

I had no idea about this franchise or game, but I decided to pre-order it just like I do many others. This one I actually like it’s kind of like a beat em up with some puzzles, nothing that I need to actually do research on in order to pass. I’ve only been playing the game 45 minutes and I really like it so far. I have a huge backlog but I at least try to play some of the games when I get them to see if it’s something I’m even interested in, this one I like a lot. Graphics are good. The fighting is not super hard or super easy. It’s a little in the middle the boss on a horse that’s what I’m calling him anyway took me six or seven times to finally figure out how to beat him, but I did. I like these type of games they are easy to get into and learn. So glad I tried it and didn’t put it on my backlog ,first person shooters ,I enjoy. I just have a tendency of getting motion, sickness and a giant headache from most of them. I was pleasantly surprised with this game.

Here's my thing with Prince of Persia: The original was actually one of the first games, and particularly PC-games, I had ever played. That was as far back as DOS, when you had to type in the command-prompt, you know. - I even saw the game in black and white on someone else's PC, but mine was in color and it was quite impressive. It was even a bit scary to me as a kid, with the traps and the dudes coming after you with blades. - But I thought it was cool. I even played 'Prince of Persia 3D' for a while, which went off what games like "Tomb Raider" were doing, but it didn't reach the same kind of level and wasn't received well. - It wasn't until of course "Sands of Time" that it became what that game wanted to be and became much bigger. Though, while I thought it was pretty awesome, with how fluid it was and all its visuals and features, I also felt it was a bit cartoonish or something. I felt the original 2D one was a little grittier. But I suppose "Two Thrones" and "Warrior Within" became a little darker. And at the point when we had a bunch of "Assassin's Creed" games, I was actually thinking that they should probably do a new "Prince of Persia" with that engine, which they actually ended up doing with "Forgotten Sands", but sadly it was a bit of a similar case to the 3D-game and not well-received. Before that, however, we of course had that cell-shaded style sort of reboot, which... I didn't like the style of at first. I didn't understand why they went with that and I also didn't care much for the style of gameplay, which I think a lot of people felt as well. - However, in hindsight I think it's actually a good thing that they did that, because they just let a bunch of creatives do their take on the IP and at least it was taking a risk to make something new and refreshing. - I wasn't against it completely, but again, I wanted more grit and had something more like "Forgotten Sands" in mind, which they should have nailed cause I do think it's the right direction for the mainline games. That said, I feel similar about "The Lost Crown". In that, the first impression was kind of like "tf is this??" in terms of the overall style and gameplay (and the reveal-trailer's music just made it feel like they were trying to be trendy or something), although it did look like it could probably just be a good game. - So I'm actually glad that they did this, because they once again let some creative people put their spin on the IP and create a unique game, and I have to give credit to the executives for just greenlighting a videogameass videogame (like the Rayman-games, and the "Gods & Monsters" game, and so on), which Ubisoft as a whole just should be making. - Now people also can't complain that "Ubisoft always makes the same", cause that's just not true. And while I'm still not big on the style (while it does look good), if the gameplay is good, I'm up for it. And also, it's a spin-off, so that's a good way to basically work around it if they decide to make a more "traditional" third-person adventure type game again. - The remaster of "Sands of Time" first, I suppose...
