Hmm, I'm a little worried about having no life system. Just seems if you die/fall there isn't any real consequences.
We'll have to see. Looking nice though!

Jiyoni

Looks pretty sweet.

kagebutsu

I like how you get to choose the powers. I do hope that is decently dynamic. A little RPG salt usually makes games tastes great.

Morphie

@Spenze: This is no Sands of Time, mate. Hopefully the companion system will shape out nicely.

90sKid

Oh noes they took out the rewind mechanic?!

Spenze

THAT IS SOO FREAKIN COOL!!!!

I hope they live up to they hype... The sands were getting a little old... this new magic thingy could be a nice change...

darkwhitehair

Hopefully this will be as good as The Sands Of Time

M1TSIRUGI

Tempting....

This game is looking really great so far. Still can't help but think of Ico which is by no means a bad thing.

mablung

I'm definitely buying this game the day it comes out, but, there's no point to watch the developers, they are just like the biggest spoiler box being opened

AlejandroLestad

@Jiyoni: True, but we won't have the sands of time to rewind, so game overs would be even more frequent.

I find that because of this, it'll probably even out. plus takes out the middle man of reloading after dying, making it a bit quicker process, which always annoyed me during those days when i went from my normal PoP master to making the prince look like he couldn't bend over without falling in to a spike pit (when i have bad days with these games...they're REALLY bad).

I agree about it looking good though.

Cerabret100

looking good

This is gonna be my first Prince of Persia... hope it delivers

Captain Fury

Game is looking great!

EnigmaNemesis

@Jiyoni:

Their philosophy is that their system is essentially the same as a checkpoint system, sans the loading and stop in gameplay. You fall, she tosses you back to the last 'checkpoint'. You're about to die, she gives you a second wind.

It looks good on paper.

Heliophage

I'm not really interested in this one. I thought the Prince (who now has an American accent?) was meant to climb up vines and swing on to tree branches fifty times. Not use some diggy claw to hook in to walls.

And that magical woman reeeeally seems silly.

Ryumeka

Haha, I love developer diaries because of the stilted deliveries of their lines.

Aethyr

can I....just pluck his eyebrows?

chaos_isnt_here

I hope this game is long, at least 20 hours. It looks great, love the art style, and the idea of returning life to the world is a nice nod to Okami, but I just couldnt justify throwing 70 Euro on another 8 hour game

FenderMaster

do the warrior is basically kratos from god of war

kingmasters

Sands of time is my favorite game of all time this is a day one buy no question asked

ddollar

Oh God damnit. It's looking too good. Whelp... there's another must-buy >.<

Chances

@kingmasters: how so?

TheUndergroundMan

@TheUndergroundMan:
the warrior was a dude that was about to die but he sold his soul to kill his ememies
kratos was a dude that was about to die but he sold his soul to kill his ememies

kingmasters

I can't help but be reminded of Twilight Princess by the dark energy and having a magical female companion (not that that's necessarily a bad thing). I also can't help but be excited for this game even though I'm afraid taking out the ability to rewind time will take away everything that made the Sands of Time trilogy good. Hopefully I won't be disappointed come December 2nd.

Hamsfork

Each time i see something about this new Prince of Persia i want it more and more. I can't wait for this to finally go on sale.

DarkGeneral

Game looks fantastic, really. Can't wait to play it and I love the art style. the only thing that worries me is that that boss seems very similar to the first one, both in looks, style and the fight in general (Though not exactly the same, obviously).

MalcolmCanace

I hope the hype in this Developer Diary = positive reviews. I've been burnt by these diaries before. A lot of them just blow smoke up your ass.

Orionsaint

For some reason this game reminds me of God Of War. I don't mean regarding the gameplay mechanics, but just the feel and the music. Odd.

firen

Anyone else sees Ico/SotC in there? I mean, the white girl, the black matter, the "David vs Goliath", the windmills from the previous trailers, the art style in general. Not that it's a bad thing. I'm just pointing out the obvious influence. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Kaneda

I totally forgot about this game.....Damn you Gears/fallout/fable/resistance/deadspace!!

showshaboy

Looks like a solid rent if not a buy. Too many quality titles in the coming months.

Nexus6

Wonder how the script will be in this game. The gameplay is obviously amazing, just hope the dialogue can match it as well.

Sturmfalke

Mmm, still don't know how I feel about the whole "dying without dying" mechanic. I'll admit it would be very convenient, but it's hard to imagine if it would retain the same sense of victory over said obstacle/monster. Or maybe I've just been playing too much Megaman 9? xD

Dudemeister

Looks good, except I really don't like the idea of having to play every level twice to collect "lightseeds."

amarney

@FenderMaster: Don't count on that. The trend is towards shorter games not longer ones.

Narishma

@amarney: Hopefully the gameplay will be different. I think that the "lightseed gameplay" will be more pure platforming, and will probably be the funnest part of the game for a lot of people.

Yes, I said funnest.

ZeroFlowne

S does this mean you can't actually die in the game since Elika always seems to save you? (Or penalties stated include enemies that regenerate their health and backtracking in platform levels.)

surft

I'm getting a lot of ICO vibes from this game, which isn't a bad source to get inspired from.

hezz05

@Hamsfork: that's a definite plus in my book.

I wasn't really interested in the prince of persia series, but the more I see of this game the more I'm reminded of games that I absolutely love like Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime3, Okami, etc...
