That's pretty cool. I can't find Warrior Within for the life of me, so I'm glad I don't have to have played that one to get the story... as for my copy of Two Thrones... it will continue to collect dust until otherwise notified.
I am worried that this is going to be rushed. I recall Ubisoft saying the plan was to alternate Prince of Persia with Assassins Creed every year. This one will be half a year ahead of that schedule for the sake of being tied into the movie. My other concern is that the Assassins Creed and current gen Prince of Persia both had horribly uninteresting combat mechanics. Sort that out and we'd have one hell of a game on our hands.
Didn't we already have a story between Warrior Within and Sands of Time? Or was it between Warrior Within and Two Thrones?
It was a portable title. That's all I remember.
Also, does it bother anyone else when they make these "in between" titles and include new powers? I always feel like it breaks the consistency.

I'm probably in a minority here when I say not in the slightest. They could make the Prince a female and write in a story about his/her donkey fucking escapades for all I care. The only thing that matters is making a good game, improving the mechanics from previous iterations. All a story does is add a bit of [usually bland] spice. Continuity of story between titles must surely be the least important thing about games.

Maybe it's because I care so much about plot. I mean I like a good game too but if the plot is ridiculous I think it can hurt the game.
I guess I feel like by promoting Sands as a trilogy they imply an emphasis on plot so I get critical.

I'm not trying to be a complete dick here but if you like a good plot you should maybe fulfill that need through books and film.

should be able to point you in the right directions. If you exhaust all the good stuff and still think that videogame plots are in any way important or interesting then thats cool.[or you could just totally ignore me :)]

Please don't neglect the platforming to focus on the combat. Please, please, please do not do that. And don't bring back that angsty, growling Prince and that awful metal music that ruined Warrior Within.
So it's Sands of Time again, which honestly is fine with me. Should look great in that engine and I thought the last one sucked.
Good to see PC listed, some sites weren't sure when it was announced.

Remember: Video games timed for release with a heavily marketed motion picture typically suck.
Corollary: Movies based on successful video game franchises typically suck.
What I am trying to say here is that I have my concerns about both.

Oh, so this game shows us how the great character from SoT turns into the insufferable emo of WW? and with half-assed graphics (if the trailer is anything to go by) to boot? OH JOY!
I loved Sands of Time and Two Thrones, I couldn't force myself to play Warrior Within after two hours of a game that I didn't find fun. Story, gameplay, setting--none of it was what attracted me to the first game. If they retcon Warrior Within and replace it with this (assuming it's more akin to Sands of Time and Two Thrones), I would be very happy. Jordan Mechner himself wants to pretend WW never happened, and he didn't even have anything to do with it either, so I'm not alone here.
If it's anything like SoT or TTT, count me in. I liked WW more than most people around here (though angsty Prince turned me off). I'm really curious to see if they can fit the story in such a way that it makes sense within continuity. They could do another "big rewind", but that would be a big cop-out at this point.
Interesting that they'd return to the original Prince (that is, the original reboot), when they had previously said they were done with him. Not surprising, I guess.
