Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones will get a visual upgrade for the re-release, but judging by the first three screen shots of the compilation, not a terribly impressive visual upgrade. Either the sands of time have not been kind to the Prince, or we’ve forgotten what these PS2 games originally looked like.
Ubisoft says the trio of Prince of Persia games will run in 720p resolution, plus feature new textures, normal maps, anti-aliasing and optional stereoscopic 3D.
Prince of Persia Trilogy 3D hits the PS3 in Europe on November 19, priced at £29.99.

While it is true that PS3 games are not region coded, the mechanism still exists as an option.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 12:02 PMEh, it looks as good as you’d hope. Presuming it’s at the equivalent of US$40, should be fairly cheap to import from any of the UK stores.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 12:09 PMEu release usually includes us too.. and even if it doesn’t it’ll be piss easy for Australians to pick up an import copy anyways… so “pfft”, i say!

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 1:30 PMWow that does look….ugly. I would rather updated models made of more than 5 polygons than updated textures.
PS2 serves us well for its time.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 2:44 PMEven if it does get released here, it will probably be cheaper to import it anyway …

Hopefully the Splinter Cell trilogy is treated a little better!
