Looks like a phone game. Is this a phone game?

 

[adamsapple]

So a demo on the release date? Sure.

 

[ReBurn]

I'll try. Still wish it was Sands of Time remake.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks really good.

 

[adamsapple]

Reminder. The demo will drop tomorrow.

Reminder. When a Japanese developer releases a demo, it means the game will be great. When a Western developer releases a demo it means they have no faith in it and it'll flop.

That’s sarcasm, right?

This looks to my eyes pretty good. It has that Metroid Dread dynamism and flow. Will definitely check the demo.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Time isn't free. I'll pass.

 

[ManaByte]

That’s sarcasm, right?

Someone literally was making that argument in the other PoP demo thread. Saying UbiSoft knows it's a flop which is why they're releasing a demo, but saying Namo knows Tekken is a hit which is why they released the Tekken 8 demo.

You couldn’t make that up. We need to start banning idiots.

2024's first sleeper hit is incoming!

Bump ^^

Is the demo going to be available for an infinite amount of time? Because I don't have time right now and I'm not interested if it's a time limited one like for the console versions of Anno 1800.

Apparently not time-restricted, however there's a caveat: There are no saves, everytime you start it up it starts anew:

 

[Little Mac]

Edit: In 6 hours and 39mins from now ... I think.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Setup gives me so much Soul Reaver vibes.

Also, this is 60FPS on Switch, might as well check it out for just that.

PS5 version is sold out on Amazon

I don’t suppose ps4 copies has a free upgrade?

It does, Ubisoft has always done that surprisingly enough.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Gonna download the demo on Switch and Xbox SX. 1080p/60fps on Switch sounds choice, but I want to see if the big boi console version has any significant visual upgrades besides pure resolution bump.

I usually play the Switch docked, so I’m leaning more towards Xbox, but I also have the priority of watching my 8 month old that likes to crawl and climb everywhere, and handheld mode is nice sometimes for multitasking .

 

[Hudo]

I cannot put into words how fucking annoying "A Ubisoft Original" as a tagline below the game title is to me. It triggers something in me where I want to punch Yves Guillemot in the face.

Yeah no it isn’t

Yeah no it isn’t

Not everyone lives in the US. It is temporarily out of stock on Amazo.co.uk.

Then they should specify that instead of making such an ignorant blanket statement lol

Preposterous!

I appreciate the irony of your comment. I really do.

wait a second ..

the demo isn't just the full game, is it ?

quick resume would be pretty damn useful if that's the case, even with no saves

Or do like the old days and pause the game and turn off the tv

I'll check it out and to be completely safe, just turn the console offline while playing this lol

 

[ManaByte]

Bump ^^

These times seem wrong. Don't see it on PSN or Xbox.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It will probably be up at 6PM CET - 2h and 15m from now.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Demo is not timed Restricted. Thats good to hear.
Not like my Quest 3 library that is currently junked up with tons of timed demos that I can no longer delete from my library. I can hide them but not delete them.
Come on Meta thats just DUM Dumb.

Love how the mouth breathers who were hating on this for being 2D have egg on their faces now

 

[Kurotri]

Holy *shit* those scores are wild. As a PoP fan I love to see this. Hopefully all those people that spammed the dislike button on the youtube vids see this. I need this game to be a success so that PoP can have its grand return.

Not to sound too arrogant but I just knew on this one before the reviews. If you just actually watch the available footage, everything about the gameplay looks phenomenal. I'm honestly not sure I will try the demo since I already bought this last week. It's going to be solid.

I do hope it sells well enough to show Ubisoft that investing in this IP, and quality, pays off.

Blindly trusting reviews and review scores without even playing and you're calling others mouth breathers.

I trust the development team that has made two masterpieces, and I trust 2D Prince of Persia.

What's your excuse?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Gonna try the demo!

Those graphics look like ps6! Amazing.

Excuse? Im sure Ill get it down the line. I just dont trust reviewers. The people here are way more reliable and trustworthy than the current mainstream mouth breathers that review games.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Anyone know how long the final game is supposed to be?
