Hmmmm...

Has anyone else noticed the significant resemblance between Edward Kenway and the Prince ??

Even in the game play the mechanics are slightly ... similar

Hmmmm... Look at the logo on the button when pushed ?? Looks familiar...

Okay friends folks and fiends.

Can we just for a second, TALK ABOUT WHY THERE ARE SO MANY VERSIONS OF PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS

There is the Xbox 360 version (the 1st one I played)

Pretty standard stuff, good graphics, interesting storyline, obnoxious puzzles and enemies.

This one runs the same as the PS3 and PC versions

PSP (haven't played this one)

What.... What the fuck. WHO IS THAT BOSS??? WHY IS THE PRINCE IN SAND DUNES IS THIS A DIFFERENT STORYLINE OR SOMETHING??? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???

Not going to mention the graphics because it's a PSP for christsakes.

WII (Haven't played this one either)

I have so many issues with this, namely

WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT

Okay let's break it down here.

This is WII This is 360/PS3/PC

TJIS IS NOT THE SAME GUY!!!!

Okay Okay anyways, back on track, WHY IS THE WII VERSION FIGHTING A DUDE. YOU ONLY FIGHT DUDES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME IN THE 360 VERSION AND THAT'S PRE-SANDIFICATION. WHY IS HE THERE.. WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY WANT.

UGH

DS Version

Now let me tell you, when I say this threw me for a loop, IT THREW ME FOR A FUCKING LOOP.

Thus us actual fucking gameplay. That fairy chick? THAT'S RAZIA. SHE IS YOUR SWORD NOW. SHE IS NOT DJINN AS FAR AS I'M AWARE???

Also, another thing,

[SPOILER WARNING, PLEASE TURN BACK NOW IF YOU PLAN ON PLAYING THE DS VERSION AT ANY POINT IN THE FUTURE. GOD REST YOUR SOUL IF YOU DO]

APPARENTLY THE PRINCE IS NOW AMNESIATIC AND ALSO WAS FORCED TO PARTICIPATE IN A DARK RITUAL TO RELEASE THE SAND WARRIOR ARMY AND WHAT I THINK IS AHRIMAN???

Also the controls suck ASS but maybe I just need to get a new screen protector for my DSI that isn't scratched to shit....

This fucking story is insane. There's also apparently, according to Wikipedia, a BROWSER VERSION THAT TAKES AFTER THE OG POP GAME and A FUCKING MOBILE VERSION???? I'm going to die. This is too many games that are supposedly the same game.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (2010)

[bellmo15-blog]

So, I just played Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands tonight...

Where's my crossover Ubisoft and Wayfoward!?!?

Ascending Mount Qaf

Prince of Persia is a franchise I have faithfully followed since childhood. While I was predominantly occupied by Kingdom Hearts and enjoyed many of Sony's mascot games including Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper, there was something about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time that immediately captured my interest. Although I didn't begin playing it from the start, as soon as I got Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones on my PlayStation Portable, I was sucked in. Especially given how athletic the Prince was as he darted in and around against his foes, absorbing the sand from his enemies and having access to time powers. These concepts blew little Kyndaris's mind. And if Blinx had ever come to PlayStation, I would have gobbled up those games just as readily with all the others.

Since The Two Thrones, titles for the Prince of Persia has been few and far between, with only a reboot game and then the Forgotten Sands entry. After all, when Assassin's Creed and Far Cry can make Ubisoft buttloads of money, there's no need to introduce a competitor to your primary money-making machine.

All that changed with the shock announcement of the Sands of Time remake. Unfortunately, the title has been delayed. Perhaps indefinitely. To ameliorate the discontent of gamer's everywhere, we were bequeathed Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown instead.

This game, unlike the 3D titles that captured the hearts and minds of many, is a metroidvania-style game where you are thrust into the shoes of Sargon, a member of the Immortals. After the prince is kidnapped, Sargon and the Immortals set out to rescue him on the mythical Mount Qaf and find themselves trapped in a place where time no longer flows as it once did.

Along the way, Sargon unlocks special abilities by collecting Simurgh feathers and faces off against alternate versions of himself. About a third of the way through the game, Sargon catches up to Anahita and the Prince, only for the leader of the Immortals, Vahram, to murder the prince and throws Sargon from a cliff. After surviving the fall, Sargon seeks a way to go back in time to stop Vahram.

Although Sargon is successful, he loses Anahita in the process. As he battles against Vahram, he learned the leader of the Immortals is the long lost son of King Darius, the previous king of Persia who was assassinated by Thomyris. Despite this slight, Vahram does not seek the throne. Rather, he hopes to ascend to godhood and remake the world in his vision.

The rest of the game sees Sargon seek to stop the mad Vahram. It all culminates in a battle atop Mount Qaf, harkening a little to almost every single Japanese role-playing game where the last boss is always a God, or someone who tries to claim such powers. By game's end, I did wonder if I had somehow stumbled into a Tales of or Final Fantasy title.

Of course, Vahram's redesign as Time and Space (a terrible name for a God. Perhaps try Bhunivelze? ? Maybe throw in a full Latin choir to chat throughout the entirety of the boss battle just for kicks) was a little lacklustre in my opinion.

Perhaps it's how often I've seen such stories play out that I was hoping for a little more spectacle.

That's not to mention all the plot holes scattered throughout the game, like how did young Vahram initially escape Mount Qaf in the first place to found the Immortals. If he was trapped on Mount Qaf (and players do see versions of him throughout the main story - with Sargon even helping him), why is there another version of him who is too far gone? And where did the alternate Sargons come from? When I first stumbled upon them, I was a little confused as to how they came into being. Perhaps if there had been more exposition on these phenomena, it would have made more sense.

Then there is the fact that Sargon went back in time to save Prince Ghassan. However, Menolias and Orod are apparently still dead.

Not to mention the prophecy of Mount Qaf which alludes to three Princes rather than two. And the way Thomyris allows her son, Prince Ghassan, to walk away from the throne but was more distressed when Sargon, too, left after the revelation she had usurped the throne from King Darius.

These aside, my main gripe with The Lost Crown is the tight timing when it came to parrying attacks and the punishing extra damage. Throughout most of the game, I relied more on dodging instead of relying on parries although the game does encourage such use through the amulets Sargon can equip for use.

Maybe it was simply a matter of me learning enemy patterns but I simply did not have the patience, given how risky it was.

Notably, as well, was the platforming. True, I should probably try and start to 'get good' but it's frustrating when Sargon has so many abilities and one needs to keep all of them in mind as he jumps and backflips his way through, while also crisscrossing into the unseen world to navigate his way through the Citadel. Especially given where these abilities are mapped to.

Like, I know what I'm supposed to do, but my over 30 reflexes no longer work as intended. That, or I mispress something and do something that ruins my entire run although I was just a platform away from being on safe ground.

Very frustrating.

Nobody wants to waste forty minutes trying to desperately get a King Xerxes coin. Still, it's a learning experience. And every failure is a step forward...

...is what I would say if it wasn't so rage-inducing.

This is exactly why I don't play Soulsborne games for fear that I'll always be so close to victory but have it snatched from me in the last moment.

And I simply don't have the time to keep retrying and retrying.

Well, maybe I do, but the perfectionist in me would have me throwing myself at the problem until the wee hours of the morning if I can't get it, and it still wouldn't be satisfied even if I did pull it off. There is no dopamine rush. Only stress and adrenaline that leaves me shaking.

Anyways, I can still see why gamers would still enjoy The Lost Crown. And it is a great game that has been fine-tuned for those with the skills necessary to take out all the challenges the developers have concocted. While it did prove a little frustrating to me in the later stages, the game does also include accessibility options for the main path that didn't detract from the game. In the end, it allowed me to see the end of the game and play it as I liked. Without knowing where the next Prince of Persia entry will land, The Lost Crown is still a worthy game to keep gamers busy.

More importantly, it's not another open-world entry with towers to synchronise with.

Goodness, the fatigue is real and is one of the main reasons I skipped out on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. That and I never did fall in love with James Cameron's alien world.

Wii Games List

I had so much fun putting together a list of potential GBA games to play yesterday, that I figured I’d write up all the games I can currently play! Im starting with the Wii games I have physically as well as digitally on my Wii U. RIP eshop, although I am the kind of person who is not super affected by it, let’s just say.

This is mostly self indulgent and just for posterity but feel free to provide recommendations.

Physical:

* Mario sonic Olympics - mostly for quick multiplayer

* Wii sports resort - same, pick up and play

* Mario Galaxy 1+2 - currently halfway through each

* mKwii - for cowards who fear modded Mario kart

* Mario sluggers - decent story mode

* Mario strikers charged - still haven’t booted this one up despite loving the GameCube version as a kid

* Skyward sword - I am SO bad but I still want to vanquish this foe one day

* Mario party 8 - every time I play this game, it goes poorly for me, but I still wanna see all the boards

Virtual Console:

* Mortal Kombat Armageddon - this game is so dumb and goofy, haven’t tried this version

* Mk Wii modded - it’ll be a while before I’ve played every track of this

* DKC Returns - I prefer the 3DS version but the multiplayer is only here

* Lost in shadow - Wii only had 3 RPG’s

* Pandoras tower - and this is one of the other 2

* Kirby return to dream land - just beat, maybe hard mode next time

* Kirby epic yarn - just beat, maybe collect everything next time

* Mario sports mix - good for multiplayer

* Super paper Mario - been meaning to try

* Metroid prime trilogy - I love MP1 but stopped on it after losing some progress to space pirates and having to redo backtracking (a double crime) and then just barely started 2 (beat all 3 a few years ago)

* Metroid other m - beat using 360 controller but been meaning to try with real Wii remote

* Pikmin 1+2 - tried 3 but haven’t played 2 since kid and never tried 1

* Poke park - mostly as a joke

* RE4 - I did wanna play/replay RE0-6 before getting 8 and the remakes, and this might be the version of RE4 I most want to play

* Umbrella chronicles - I did get a zapper

* Sin and Punishment 2 - does this work with zapper?

* Xenoblade - I got a good many hours into this one and then stopped AFTER beating a tough boss so I should definitely pick back up, maybe use Wii remote and nunchuck instead of gamepad this time

* Red steel 2 - the premier Wii motion plus game! Besides Wii sports resort and skyward sword

* Excite bots - I hear this one is underrated but haven’t tried yet

* Rhythm heaven fever - I already stan rhythm heaven, just need to play this one more

* Zack and wiki - always heard this was a cute point and click game

* Wii play - played, cute enough

* Wii party - played but not all modes yet

* Boom blox - player and enjoyed, lots of content

* Sonic riders zero gravity - I need to come back and play this on my own sometime

* Sonic colors - despite beating relatively recently, this one is even more fun on real hardware

* Klonoa - definitely play this over the original

* Golden 007 - Ehhh kind of a novelty

* Ghost Squad - zapper game

* Gunblade - zapper game

* Elebits - need to circle back and play on my own, much easier than when I was a kid

* Dokapon kingdom - need to try

* Epic Mickey - need to try

* Dead space extraction - zapper game

* Bomberman land - need to try

* Wii music - lol

* Prince of Persia forgotten sands - maybe after I beat PoP trilogy on PS3

* No more heroes - ehhhh maybe just play PS3 port

* Nerf - zapper game

* Kororinpa 1+2 - need to try 2

* Wario land shake it - I was waiting to beat previous wario lands

* Warioware smooth moves - tried, need to play more

* Brawl - classic

* DK jungle beat - need to try to compare to Mario Galaxy

The Rogue: Prince Of Persia | New Gameplay Today

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-rogue-prince-of-persia-new-gameplay-today/

The Rogue: Prince Of Persia | New Gameplay Today

We went nearly 15 years without a wholly new Prince of Persia game after the release of The Forgotten Sands in 2010, but now, in 2024, we will play two brand new Prince of Persia games within six months of one another. The excellent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown released in January, and today we learn about The Rogue: Prince of Persia, which will be entering early access in May.

The game comes from developer Evil Empire, the co-developer of Dead Cells, and the lineage shows. The game is a 2D platformer roguelike that has a lot in common with Dead Cells, but after spending some hands-on time with the game, it also has its own identity. Join Marcus Stewart and me as I share details about my hands-on experience with the next Prince of Persia.
