According to the rating BBFC rating, Ubisoft's upcoming Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands may include a special bonus -- Prince of Persia: Classic.
Prince of Persia: Classic was released as a standalone PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade title, and is a remake of Jordan Mechner's original PC title. It's unclear if the content will be included on the disc, or if Ubisoft plans to include a voucher code (or something similar) with a special edition of the title.
Also mentioned is that The Forgotten Sands will feature 90 minutes of cut-scenes, so we hope you have some popcorn handy. Maybe you can just use the leftovers from when you see Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in theaters this May.

If so, any respect I had for Ubisoft goes straight down the toilet.
Did you play Warrior Within or Two Thrones? Yeah--*that's* why they tried a reboot.
Warrior Within almost ruined games for me. All that rage! All that angst! I needed the bright whimsy of the last PoP game, just to finally wash that garbage off my eyeballs.
That's it, i've said it.
The Bad: "The Forgotten Sands will feature 90 minutes of cut-scenes", WTFITS? why is it that after MGS4 making 1+ hours of cutscenes that will likely be playtime filler (it wasn't on MGS4) to reach the 8 hour length threshold an acceptable practice?, Sands of Time wasn't a short game at all and maybe i'm wrong but off the top of my head the sum of all cutscenes would probably add to 30 minutes tops(ending included) and that didn't stop it from delivering a fantastic story IMO.
Seriously this and Alan Wake drop lower and lower in my radar with every piece of news i read about them, if they actually end up being good games it's gonna be the greatest surprise in 2010 for me. Hey Ubisoft, go back to PoP 2008 and make a proper sequel instead of crapping all over my good memories will ya?
On the other hand, Ubisoft is horrible. It is one of the worst big developers ever. For every great game, Sands of Time and Splinter Cell, they have loads upon loads of total shit.
If you're any kind of gamer for even a short amount of time, surely you've played games that had more movie in it than that, only you weren't told the combined length and lived in ignorant bliss of some sort of gaming addict. (Muuust game, nothing else.)
If plot scares you, the whole using your brain to keep track of characters can be very taxing, there's always some Serious Sam HD waiting for you.
@thulsa dooom: Remedy deserves the benefit of the doubt for what? The great games it made? It made one. It made Max Payne. The first. The rough one with those nightmare levels where he kept falling in the abyss and had the constipated look on his face.
Max Payne 2 was by Rockstar (first one published, second one developed and published) and the second one was much better.
Why Alan Wake deserves faith on the back catalog of one game nearly 10 years old...well, you give out benefits of doubt far easier than me.
Biggest thing Ubi has going against it with the new PoP will be, and I don't care how much some random geeks love it (sales show more people felt my way) that last Prince reboot attempt was garbage. THAT will be their biggest hurdle to overcome. I know they lost me as a day one PoP buyer after that last one.
-90 Min cutscenes: granted, as long as actual gameplay is > 8 hours of quality, and no, more hours doesn't necesarily mean better game, i'd take an 8 hour masterpiece over a 12+ hours good game that had it's story/gameplay extended just for the sake of it.
-Short development time: Probably to coincide with the SoT movie release, never a good thing.
-The fact that they decided to go back and beat on a dead horse instead of working on a proper sequel to the 2008 PoP that addressed said game's flaws.
-The fact that we are near release date and we have seen virtually jack of actual gameplay footage, developer diaries, concept art, HYPE or anything vaguely similar.
-It's Ubisoft for Christ sake!
I don't know about you, but so far this game has every bit going for it to be epic failure.
