Ubi's Prince Of Persia Site Dripping With Goo
Posted by Mike Fahey at 12:00 PM on April 24, 2008
Well this is certainly a new look for Ubisoft's official Prince of Persia website. Clicking on the link below takes you to a flash animation of glowing blue glyphs (words?) that slowly get engulf by a mass of oozing black goo. Could this have something to do with the recently trademarked Prince of Persia Prodigy, or is this something completely different? Will we finally see what happens when the Prince comes up again Spider-Man's archenemy, Venom? Probably not. Trying to believably mix established gaming icons with comic book heroes and villains is a silly idea. I suppose we'll just have to wait until either the big reveal, or they morph the slime into some sort of damned countdown clock.

ok sry for triple post, i looked at it for a really long time, asked my mom for some help but we both agreed its not really like anything we have seen. It seems like it is arabic and says "fathon men allah" or something like that...or not. i think it should be arabic for nasron men allah which translates to victory through god. im not really sure though..i tried :(

it is infact rightin however it is sideways, all words are turned at a -90 degree angle or 270 degrees...w.e. imagine an A but like this > (if > was a sideways A). as far as what it says, i cant really read it, the beginning part is pretty clear with the first word/words but its written in the "cursive" of farsi/arabic and i cant really read it, maybe my parents. the second part looks as much like a heartbeat monitor to me as it does to anyone else. ill hit if i can read it

It almost makes me think of really thick blood.
I wonder what this could have to do with anything.
They could always end up pulling a Lost and pretend the goo never happened when they do the big reveal, so I won't put to much thought into this.

You got a typo, see 'Price of Persia Prodigy'.
C for effort. I feel like such an ass.

Marvel vs Capcom is still the greatest crossover/game/experience, ever.
It's great when gamestop closes 30 minutes earlier so the guys working there can play it as I watch them from the window, crying.
So with that said, I'm all for Persians VS Symbiote.

@[Dextr]: No I mean how Lost will just pretend things that happened never happened.
This could just be a cool looking effect there for no reason is all.

@last_dread: Nice work, I was about to say it looked like Farsi on its side. I'm afraid I'm of no help though.
Do we have any Iranian commentors?

Well, they've done The Sands of Time, so now maybe its Prince of Persia: Goo of Space-Time? An unwitting prince stumbles into the Large Hadron Collider, unleashing quantum horrors that feed on the black goo of the fifth dimension?
I have no idea what I am talking about.

I hope it's a new Prince of Persia game!
And then you realize -- it's all just virtual reality, and all the Arabian-Nights-like buildings you're climbing are actually skyscrapers!
Like SPIDER-MAN --
-- in 3D!!

If it were Hebrew, I could help. I'm surprised, though, that no one's been able to translate it. Thanks for trying, last_dread.

Check this out.
Refresh the screen.
Follow the faint, faint line of stars at the top, and the faint line of stars at the bottom.
The top part creates sort of a tip of something.
The left and right side of the bottom part seem to connect and curve upwards.
Faint lines in the background seem to indicate (maybe) that it curves upward to connect with the top
Follow me so far?
If extrapolated like crazy, that could either resemble a pile of cow dung (no seriously) or a two-curve closed tip jar or flask, the kind that that ancient people used for carrying water on the go.
