I've always thought of Assassins creed to be a sort of prince of persia styled spin off. I like where this is going though. I didn't like the last POP and it's 'pay 30$ for DLC that may or may not be the real ending'.
It's been some time, so I don't think a new POP game could hurt, if done right.

So if the Sands of Time series was a reboot, then there was that cel shaded one as a re-reboot, would that makes this a re-re-reboot?
It's interesting because the middle character that you see the back of is, i assume, to be the character you play and it isn't the prince. He doesn't even look persian, he looks black. I doubt that this is the next PoP game.
The Forgotten Sands was pretty awesome (my dad even liked it, and he only really likes shooters), so more Prince is good in my book.
Its nice that they are using a diffrent and rarley used setting.
I can count on my dick how many games have been sett in egypt before... my dick is named Serious Sam btw

This seriously looks like the worst image I have ever seen in my life.
it BETTER NOT be a new Prince of Persia game. It BETTER FUCKING NOT be a new Prince of Persia game.

"Do we really need another Prince game?" To that I say yes, but not with any gusto. Do we really need another game that looks like this? Absolutely not -- even if it's not a PoP game.
But hey, this is an early screenshot. There's still plenty of time for them to add in all the colors and magic and whimsy and yeah there's no way that's happening, is there?
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Be sick if it was a prequel about the PoP's REAL father and how his family has been in the wringer for some time... that could be his POPs(father) your playing!!!
There's a part of me that wants to see more. There's another part of me that's shaking its head at how incredibly dull this leak looks.
I'm all up for another Prince of Persia game, so long as it doesn't lose itself trying to mimic God of War or Assassin's Creed, which are the two games that came to mind when I saw the screenshot.

Looks like ass. I may be the only one on the site to say so, but I really wish Ubi would continue their OTHER PoP reboot. You know, the fun one, where you couldn't die.
Also note that the FPS are locked at 30 -which is sure to make most gamers pissy.
Whats up with those kids doing splits? They going to shit themselves right there then fly away?
I say we do need another POP game, but I'd be happy if it was in the same style (visually) as the last one. If they're just going to make a Assassin's Creed rip off of the series (and, lets face it, Ass Creed always kind of felt like a POP rip off), then they should just give up now.. Or do one better and do a series crossover.
@Darren
Given its Ubisoft, I'm sure theres plenty of re-re's at work.

I'd just be happy with a ReBoot game that doesn't suck.

The protagonist has gotta be angry, man! Angry! I couldn't take PoP seriously anymore after number 2.
Ugh. Again? We had the first fucking reboot in 2008 after the Sands of Time trilogy ended. But then they turned around a year and a half later to do that movie tie-in which took place between the first two.
So now what? They're leaving behind that 2008 Prince and the Sands of Time Prince and rebooting the whole thing proper again this time? If this is the case, I'd be willing to be it'll coincide with the first year we *don't* have a new Assassin's Creed game and they finally decide to give that series a year break.

Damn, Prince of Persia is looking to give Tomb Raider a run for its money in the "how many times can we reboot this shit" competition.
This looks more like Assassin's Creed than Prince of Persia.
Also, I'd rather have a sequel to POP 08

I don't like Prince of Persia, the last one was interesting for a while during promotional stuff but it sucked hard when I actually played it, such a waste of a good art.
God, I love the Prince of Persia series. One of the main reasons is that it had a bit of style but this... this looks like Assassin's Creed took a steamy shit on top of the brand. I'm not saying the game will be shit just by one picture but hot damn... that does not look appealing at all.
That just looks nasty. Prince of Persia 2008 was the new direction the series needed. Great visuals, interesting characters, good story. If they make a sequel to POP 08 that takes away the hand holding and repeated boss fights we'd have a really good game.
Man, I don't know what is wrong with people. This looks alright to me. I would say the art style is more reminiscent of Skyrim than anything else. Ultimately though, I just like any third person action game that has crowd dynamics and some sort of acrobatics (which this seems to judging by the camera angle allowing a good look at the rooftops, which lie on different level).
@Weatherstein:
Heh.. This shit.. This, right here.. =D I'd hate to be <b>that</b> guy - but I'll say it - because it pains me to see people missing out on history class and spewing ignorant shit such as "Prince of Africa", upon seeing a supposedly playable black guy in this supposed pre-alpha screen leak.
The Achaemenid empire's population spanned across a shitload of different races and ethnic groups. Many of them were black, blond and blue-eyed, East-Asian looking, on top of all the groups that had dark eyes and hair. Although more uncommon now, this is reflected in current-day Iran's population as well; something that isn't really known to most westerners and even to migrated generations of Iranians living across the globe. Because conceited parents, pride and the master race myth. Most cultures have them.
The white-washing of history is not exactly a new concept in western societies either, but FFS people..
@Dale North: It IS funny, 'cause it's unversed.

"Prince of Persia" was gorgeous why would they not continue that same style. Also this just looks like Assassins Creed which is a more dull. POP always had more style and fun / whimsy to add to it's adventurous tone. This looks drab gritty and boring. Give me color and bloom. POP is supposed to be more fun and magical this is neither.
Also.. This would resemble AC a lot, if one'd add huge crowds of people and all them semi-automated climbing stunts. I feel a tad reluctant, seeing how Ubisoft has handled the series recently.
I liked PoP (2008) a bit, in the quality that it was.. different. It was the Okami of PoP games, for more than one reason. Also.. it featured actual spoken Farsi, which was funny and a tad exotic. I'm not even sure if the difficulty was an actual problem, seeing how Zelda games handle falling into pits and chasms similarly and it's highly uncommon to actually die in them.

The first Hidden Assassin Blade used in AC was in Persia. Funny how the Prince of Persia series turned into Assassin's Creed and now they think we want the Prince series back? I am all for it but unless it plays like the Sands of Time trilogy with wall running included in the parkouresque style then no thanks.
@Glitchmaster8:
Yeah, man. I'd rather not see the IPs merge concepts more than they already have. They share too much already.
Shit.. Now when I come to think of it, PoP games have always had huge areas, bereft of any other people than the handful of plot driven characters.. Except in the very few set-piece scenarios where a bunch of them pulled the Red Shirt number, just to prove how dire the situation was. The Prince has always been this - more or less - lone hero in a desolate setting.
With crowds, even if the cheap climbing mechanics that play themselves wouldn't be implemented, it'd feel too similar to AC.
