Buying this day one. Looks like the best metroidvania I've seen since Dread.

Officially pre-ordered. 2 weeks to go. First purchase of 2024.

If I'm buying it you can be confident it is going to bomb financially.

I'll get it for the Switch if the reviews are as good as all the previews I've seen/read so far.

Sorry but i have to disagree Ubisoft. This is NOT what the franchise needed. This feels on par with Assassins Creed chronicles at best and will most likely sale accordingly.
And the really sad part is that Ubisoft will most likely just look at the sales and conclude; "Oh guess none wanted Prince Of Persia after all"....

Looks great from what I’ve seen. Have this preordered on Amazon and I never preorder shit. I figure since the demo is out on the 11th, I’ll have time to cancel the order if it feels mediocre or janky.

I'm not sure how people can think it looks like shit. I think it has massive potential. I will bet my avatar it will at least end in the 80s in Metacritic from what I'm seeing.
I do however think it will sell like shit though.

I can always go for another Metroidvania, but I’ll probably wait on a sale. Will also want to see if the Switch version is 60fps so I can decide if I want that or the Xbox version.

The last game was 14 years ago. Its been dead for a while. Ubisoft is giving people a chance to revive it though with this and the remake. I fully expect consumers to blow it again.

I'm glad that the Prince of Persia looks like an American Black man from Atlanta, Georgia.

Ubisoft grants your request. A demo is coming later this month.

I believe this game is going to do surprisingly well. In the chance that the media got to play it everyone seemed to love it.

I bought Robocop before any reviews or user impressions and I'm doing the same here. Seems obvious just from the available footage it has more complex combat and platforming than any Metroidvania I've seen since Dread. Wouldnt really be that surprising. Its practically one of the only 2D platformers from a major publisher besides Nintendo in years.

This looks really good -- I'm in day one, always down to support major 2D Metroidvanias, and Prince of Persia has been dormant far too long.
There's already been hands on with the Switch version, Nintendo Life posted direct footage and it looks smooth AF.

Im just not seeing it at all, especially for $50
Looks exactly like the type of Metroid clone I get hard for for the first hour then come down and realize Id be much better off playing Super Metroid or Symphony for 800th time

It looked great from the very first trailer. People were too focus on the hairstyle of the protagonist and the background music, while the gameplay looks absolutely fantastic!

Yeah, this particular preview made me pay more attention to this release.
It's also the Rayman studio (Ubi Montpellier) working on it so people should stop being so skeptical about it.
It will def be a good if not great platformer/metroidvania and perfect for the Switch OLED at that silky smooth 60 fps.

And that video doesnt even show the time manipulation stuff. Time rewind platforming and combat dodges. Looks sick as hell to me.

It's also clearly made for a vastly lesser budget than a typical AAA.
I'm actually buying this day 1, looks like a really good game.

Yeah - the fact that this exists and they cancelled and rebooted the Sands of Time remake with a proven developer before that outsourced trainwreck released shows that they obviously care about this franchise having a successful re-launch.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looks interesting, but not a day 1 kind of interesting. Will check it out at a later time.

Made by the studio that made Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. They know what they're doing.

Proven developer lmfao. It was Ubisoft India, and the project was going like shit.
Also the project got restarted not cancelled.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Day 1 buy, my first Ubisoft title since Ass Creed: Black Flag
Some clowns were too focused on goddamn hairstyles and trailer music to realize the combat looks fantastic.

Thats what I meant though - the India version was the “outsourced trainwreck” and they’ve rebooted it under Ubisoft Montreal, a proven developer, instead of just cutting their losses and shipping out trash. Shows someone high up cares about the franchise.

It wasn't outsourced because they own that studio.
This is being made by an actually good stufio that made classics for the company and fans.
