If they're blaming GoW, then they can just blame every game I have played instead of Prince of Persia.
i agree. nothing to do with god of war at all.. just ubisoft making a dull action game. for some reason they dropped the ability to fight multiple enemies and die. It seemed like a step backwards to me.
Well, they should start changing our minds by making a good PoP this generation. The last one was horrible.
fuck, i just remembered, they made it pretty much playable on one button didnt they. i prefer to play a game than watch one play itself
Doesn't Ubisoft know that every game needs blood and gore and foul language to sell well?
Marketing 101.

Haha. Way to blame someone else for making a less than enjoyable game.
"A lot of people ask, 'will you have gore in the game?"
Fifteen eight graders do not count as a lot of people.

they're scapgoating the excuses now instead of later.
sounds to me like they know the new game will be shit and are looking for all excuses.

The last game focused on what made PoP good, acrobatic platforming. I don't much care for the combat in any of the PoP game, that part to me was dull. I was much more interested in solving environmental puzzles by shimmying up walls or wall running, back flipping, climbing, swinging, and timing. Leave all the combat crap to God of War and their ilk.
Actually, Prince of Persia was a fantastic game I loved playing. The amazing environments and interesting characters really made me wanna explore.
If they want to blame a game they should blame Ninja Gaiden. Ever since I played that one, I'm not easily satisfied anymore with any action games. Even Ninja Gaiden 2.
Pirates were to blame for their shitty DRM schemes, now GoW is to blame for PoP being boring.
What is it with Ubisoft and scapegoating everyone else for their self-inflicted problems?

Uh...no. I don't think that happened at all. Prince of Persia is a much different beast than God of War and Sony did not steal fans away with their title.
how about the fact that the last prince of persia (that open world cell shaded one) sucked.......they messed with a winning formula from the ps2/xbox era games and gave us that garbage.......nice to see their going back to the series roots.

"Any word on which game caused SC:C to be too easy with the cheap kill tagging or awful AI?"
They took their cues from Heavy Rain for that one. You know, that game that plays itself while you watch?
Note to everyone but Carlton: I don't really think this is true, I just think Carlton Banks is an idiot troll.

The newest Prince of Persia has a lame story, horrible character/dialogue, no combat design, no challenge, and few acrobatics! I played the whole game and was so pissed. Too bad. The open world and concept reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus. I thought it would hold my interest a little, but I just played it because I bought it. Of course, the reviews all praised it...
Does that mean SEGA blames Nintendo for the Sonic's problems?
Don't play the blame game. It's not fun.

Maybe because God of War did everything right the first time around like Sands of Time, but instead of going with a good thing Ubi saw fit to change the game with every new installment.
Kratos is better because he is a Spartan *SPAR freaking TAN!!* and a mother effing GOD!! What is the prince? A puny little prince........he's not even a king!!
I have another solution for Ubisoft. Instead of creating an ending to the game that makes everything you did for the last few hours a complete waste of your time and then release a DLC to try and make up for it; make a decent storyline with an ending that doesn't crap all over you.
These guys are going at it all wrong. The reason I loved the Sands of Time games were because of their story and their clever use of time-control mechanics. The recent titles have had neither of these things, and added in some rather awful duel gameplay instead of the acrobatic swordplay we knew and loved. God of War, meanwhile, has featured a great, epic story and violent gameplay that suits the character just as well as The Prince's acrobatic gameplay suited his.
Write a better story and craft a great combat system, and couple that with the fantastic acrobatic platforming you already have, and the next Prince of Persia game could be great again.

That doesn't even begin to remotely make any kind of goddamn sense at all. What in the flying fuck are they talking about?
??? Do not comprehend.
These aren't TV shows. Nor are they competitive tournament experiences that you play constantly with other people. They're single player experiences. You don't play one at the expense of the other. Nobody "switched" from Prince of Persia to God of War. I do not understand what they think they're learning from these questionnaires.

As an avid fan of the first ever Prince of Persia retro game, and all three PS2 titles, the new "Prince" was pretty awful.
New Prince was my first Prince of Persia game and after 2 hours of it I absolutely loathed it and immediately returned it. It's kind of soured me on the entire series.
The new Prince of Persia was just a terrible followup to the rest of the series...the characters were fun, but the involvement in the game was a serious step backwards. I mean, it would be one thing to be saved from a falling death each and every time it happens, but to not vary up the animation highlights right off the bat that there was a problem with the depth of the game. Then on top of that, they took away multiple enemy battles, the complexity of navigating the environment, and all around, the fun of the gameplay. So, all we were left with was a pac-man like experience without the excitement of getting chased by ghosts.
I liked PoP. I'd probably take it over GoW 3 based on my previous experiences with GoW.
Going the GoW direction would instantly kill my PoP boner. Like that one sequel to Sands of Time.
Grrr...
It seems like every time I fall in love with PoP they ruin it.

Ubisoft needs to shut the fuck up, good lord. Maybe if they hadn't sold the ending as DLC, and not fucked over the people who bought it for PC by not providing that ending at all (I had to watch it on youtube, in case they released another game, which they may, but I may just buy it for console now). I would feel more sympathetic towards Ubi if I hadn't, on top of this, disliked the characters, thought the game-play and bosses were boring and anti-climatic, and then been thoroughly disappointed by the Ahriman fight. One of the few things i really liked about the game were the environments, and I thought the climbing was improved, past that, though, I don't have much to say about the game. It was dull to me.
I think the biggest problem here is that they seemed to presume that gamers who don't like excessive gore and titties in their games were clearly casual gamers who would only be able to manage some unchallenging anti-game that could pretty much be beaten by mashing a few buttons for several hours.
Oh yeah, and that we all own PS3s.

The biggest problem here is that Prince of Persia was ALWAYS fucking brilliant and God of War is just a regular, but well done, gorefest. Prince of Persia gets my attention, but GoW... not really. I'm not that sure why the comparison is so imminent, but I remember when I first played God of War on the PS2 I though "Damn... this feels like a cheapened up Prince of Persia...".
Mind you, I'm talking about the Jordan Mechner games and the Sands of Time trilogy. The new Prince of Persia was a bit too gimmicky for me.

Prince of Persia's relevancy stopped after The Sands of Time. Each following title has been absolute trash. People need to stop buying Ubisoft games.
I like the first 3 PoP but the last one is BS........ @Opa, That's your opinion but in my opinion the GOW trilogy are the best..... the 3rd PoP is a cliff hanger so does the last PoP............
The dying thing was just checkpoints by another name. The real problem with PoP (2008) was that it was just quick time events disguised as gameplay. At least in GoW the gameplay itself is free-flowing and players have real control: the quick time events are open and limited to the end of fights.
It wasn't that PoP was too "easy" that turned us off it - it was that it took control away.
Also, too much Nolan North. Hope they're going back to the Sands of Time voice actor.

Kratos will rip the Prince's head anytime give. No need to damage him. The "O" button appears on Prince's head as soon as the battle commence .
I'd like this blithering idiots from Ubi to make another game with Elika, cause the epilogue of last PoP clearly left BIG gate for a sequel. But nooo, there is a movie with Jack Gyle-something coming up, so they need to make a crappy game for everything, probably ranging from 360 & PS3 to microwave ovens and mobile phons. Jesus f. Christ, what happend to the creators of last PoP, which may not be super-astonishing-jaw-dropping in terms of combat, but has simply astonishing climate and is simply fun to play? Has everyone from the team lost their head in some kind of terrible accident involving chainsaws and few loonies form Arkham Asylum? WTF happend?!
