Prince of Persia’s post-game downloadable content, ‘Epilogue,’ is hitting the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 26. Rumor has it that the price is ten bucks (800 Microsoft Points) and the download could weigh in at 650 megabytes. Ubisoft have confirmed that ‘Epilogue’ will have its own Trophies and Achievements. PC dudes need not apply -- Ubisoft have also confirmed that the DLC won't be coming.
To get fans pumped, Ubisoft released a trailer earlier today that shows off the content’s goal -- to further the story of Prince of Persia with a new area, new boss, new moves, and a more of that lovely interaction with Elika. The interaction isn't restricted to dialogue. At one point in the video, Elika slaps the Prince. Granted, it's just a few seconds of footage, but it feels good to see him get drilled.
‘Epilogue’ will be a much more difficult affair than the main game according to the content’s associate producer, Jamal Rguigui. “Expect everything to be at a higher pace and to keep you on the edge of your seat,” Rguigui told IGN. “Figuring out how to succeed passing this long acrobatic sequence mined with traps or how to defeat this boss before he regenerates his energy will definitely be more intense.”
They'd have to add/change a lot of things to make the gameplay more than (as was observed on Podtoid, I believe) a long series of QTE's and a collect-a-thon.
Hey look, more ludicrously annoying Elika and Scarfy, their retarded black and white theology, and pretty, pretty graphics that thinly veil the quicktime-event gameplay.
Also, love the part where Scarfy is running and his sword keeps glitching.
Hmm, I wonder if in the Epilogue you have to fight all the bosses, AGAIN! I had enough of this game when I rented it back when it came out. This game had its moments but I had enough of its repetitive nature. I'm sorry Ubisoft but you are not in my good books.
Also I'm sad, that people are angry at the simple fact, that Ubisoft named this DLC epilogue. The game has a proper, though quite shitty, ending and this will be an aftermath chapter and not the ending.
For everybody complaining about how this is the 'real ending': The real ending's in the normal game. This is stand-alone. Don't assume that the end was planned out all along, because it wasn't. Sheesh.
For all its minor issues and complaints, the new PoP was exactly what video games are made to be... FUN. Baww too short, baww not hard enough, baww can't die, baww didn't like the ending. I agree with those, but that doesn't mean that the game wasn't goddamn fun to play anyways. If the price drops again or the game gets repacked in a greatest hits to include the DLC or something, I'm definately picking it up, since I've only played the game on rentals.
I was looking for some interesting post on Beta nature of business and this is what I found here, that's simply great. I am inspired by the writing style of author. I will be visiting in future to extend my knowledge. Thanks

Don't really care about the price. It's more PoP. It has to be good.
