Wow
They've actually left a graphical glitch in trailer at the 0:50s mark:

Also that face

 

[Vlajdermen]

All of these early 2000s game remakes look like they're made of waxed silly putty

 

[Silva]

I can't understand the point of remaking Prince of Persia nowadays. It's appeal in the day was purely it's gfx and animations. Plot, gameplay, etc was nothing to tell home about.

 

[DalekFlay]

Not usually a fan of these types of games but I did like this one. Remake looks budget as fuck, and too Pixar. Not a fan.

 

[fabrulana]

Looks like his face was dipped in wax or something... in the previous game he looked more menacing.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

What did you expect?

 

[Ismaul]

Prince of India lul

 

[Neuromancer]

Wow, the old version looked so much better...
What were they thinking?

 

[Child of Malkav]

If the gameplay is the same and the mechanics are not altered I don't care how it looks. The faces are a bit cringe but meh.

 

[Neuromancer]

If the gameplay is the same and the mechanics are not altered I don't care how it looks. The faces are a bit cringe but meh.

But in that case, why not just play the original game?
In my opinion, it still holds up pretty good.

 

[Ash]

more like Prince of Prosper

Note what looks like trademark awesome button Ubisoft Assassin's Creed Multi-instakill teleports in the trailer.

That was also in original Sands of Time.

 

[Ash]

Don't remember that. fuck that was like 20 years ago now.

 

[Vincente]

I didn't remember being a thing either, until I started to replay the game yesterday.

The important thing to remember is that using the multi-instakill teleport uses up all your sand and IIRC can only be activated if you're at full sand. This isn't an awesome button.

 

[Guvide]

Yeah, you had to hold on to that move for the toughest battles.

 

[PlanHex]

And not use it before a hard platforming section where you need the sand

It's more of an "oh god please let this combat encounter end sooner" button. But yeah, it can't be used all the time, and even when you use it the awesomeness only lasts like one third of an encounter.

Iirc though, it doesn't consume your sand (the thing that gives you rewinds), it just consumes your 'power tanks' which is what lets you use the freeze-stab.

And not use it before a hard platforming section where you need the sand

There's almost always a 'sand cloud' that restores all your sand/power tanks after combat encounters though.

I was sent to Pune by my employer in 2016. Absolutely delicious food. Why don't they stick to making it instead of doing... this?

neat, the animators forgot how to do facial expressions

Since everyone spammed buttons on you but never made a counter-claim, I'll do so: Sand of Time had decent gameplay. Overall the game was like a 7.5/10. Combat was bland boring dragging it down a point or half, but the platforming and puzzle elements (and level design) were fucking solid and made the game. It's a shame the game went on to become assassins creed which in addition to shit combat had shit everything else too, no redeeming qualities at all.

if PoP's appeal was purely graphics and animation, then that's a shit game that never should have existed at all.

Edgy is better than gay cartoony shit.
