Ubisoft has started releasing a new set of vignettes that offer more in-depth perspective on the newPrince of Persiathrough interviews with media and developers.This video focuses on the Prince himself. Topics of discussion include how he differs from other protagonists in the action genre of gaming, his personality and what motivates him.
I think my favorite quote from this video comes from the mouth ofPrince of Persia‘s producer, Ben Mattes, where he says that the Prince “doesn’t smolder with generic rage.” I guess we’re just supposed to forget about what was done with the great promise the character held in the second two installments of the previous trilogy. Sweet, sweet irony.
With luck, they won’t make that same mistake twice, because — changes to the art style aside — what we’ve seen ofPrince of Persiareminds me very much ofSands of Time. It would be a real shame to repeat history here, but at least we might get one more great game out of it.
