its out on fileplanet. i havent downloaded it, because i cant be bothered. never liked POP anyway. This one seems better though- darker, even- so i may give it a DL later. plus there are big blades. youve gotta love the blades.
 
theres a pop:ww demo?!

make no mistake, it WILL be mine, oh yes.
 
Suicide42,

cheers for the news,

do you think POP2 will beat POP1 ?
 
I believe it will, PoP was a good game, but PoP:WW will own it in every way.
 
I got up to the point with the big stone monster boss. Then a bug happened where he went to a corner and couldn't walk out of it, and I couldn't attack him, I would go through him.
Lame
 
Its virtually like the PoP: Sands of Time, but with more moves. If you liked PoP version, you'll like this. I couldn't get past the tutorial (mainly because couldn't be asked setting the controls:p). I going to give it a full-on-try tomorrow and will post my proper impressions. I would say its worth the download, I expected better graphics though.
 
TheHunter says "the game blows arse and i liked the 1st one". :P


Never seemed like my type of game either...
 
I think it's a virus because I have DL'ed this file twice (from different locations) and it opens up a file that is called trajan-(something) and the folder is in french. Also in that file it says "the quick brown fox ran" or something like that.

The game was developped by french canadians :)

Sounds like you opened a font...
 
that isnt very fun :( so much of the game needs work... like the tutorial sucks ass...
and the stone monster boss, ive tried to kill him 3 times but he ports to that corner. you have to stop him from clipping an object in the middle of the room....

they cant have played this demo through...
 
It runs like a retard on a treadmill and looks like a cripple with facial warts.

Well, maybe that's a little harsh. It runs bad and has average graphics. It's a downright awful port. The controls suck. There didn't seem much to the combat system, although it was better than the original. The whole action movie rock music thing doesn't work too well for the game. When you're fighting it really doesn't feel immersive at all. The in-game cutscenes are cheesy (although the CG ones are well done).

I can't believe this is an official demo. It feels more like a leaked alpha. I'm sure it will improve a lot between now and release time, but I can only speak for the demo - and it sucked. I'll be renting this for PS2, but it doesn't seem like they're taking the series in the right direction.
 
runs sweet for my ti4600... im just stuck on the wall jump bit.... cant seem to figure out how that works... :(
 
Runs decent on my Ti4200. :P

I can't get past that area when you are supposed to run towards an enemy and press spacebar. I have done it like 15 times but the tutorial doesn’t continue... argh.
 
[Matt], in the wall jump part, when the Prince is close to the wall, just press jump, don't press it too fast.
Loke, what part are you talking about? I may help.
 
i love the whole new attitude, this is the prince i'd rather play, i love it when he calls that one lady a bitch, and the way he rips people apart, hell yeah, beautiful stuff

Almost of the beginning on the boat area, the tutorial says something like "Run towards an enemy and press spacebar".
 
i broke it, the demo that is, i got the monster on the second level stuck and i can't even kill him, i just clip through him..... so sad
 
:/ the demo made me rethink getting the game.
im not sure if I will get it, but im gonna be very carefull after this demo.
 
How many ****ing undead pirates do you have to kill to get on with the demo!?!
 
Downloaded it, played it for 5 mins, uninstalled it.

Didn't play very well (awkward camera, seem to be pulling off the moves it wanted yet it didn't progress) and was boring after I killed the 99th chump.
 
The last level is pretty fun. And if you are getting poor framerates, download the latest ATI driver if you have a Radeon based video card.
 
Hmmm...I'm inclined just to wait for the final product. Not like I'm gonna be playing it on PC anyway.
 
First, you'll notice that there are some messages at the bottom of the screen. Follow what they tell you to do. This is the single-weapon tutorial, so it would be best to use just one weapon, the default weapon, when you have completed the few moves it tells you to do, it'll say ''Single Weapon tutorial completed''. Then, go to the end of the ship, and a cutscene will occur and you will be one level lower.
 
This has to be the worst demo I have ever played. The combat is like torture.

Are there really people out there who like this stupid combat? The thing I loved about other pop games was the acrobatics and puzzles. Hell, the reason I stoped playing sands of time without beating it was because the ****ing combat just got to annoying.
 
well if you didn't beat sands of time you missed a great ending. :)
 
Holy crap you revived this dead thread?
Holy crap, I just contributed with this post.
Holy crap! Dead and thread rhyme!
:D
 
I was going to make a new topic, but I prefer "Why did you revive this topic?" near-flames to the "Use the search button retard" full fledged flames.

I wanted to beat it, but I just got so sick of unfun 30 minute battles.
 
I think I'm going to try and go through sands of time again, but I also think the combat sucked. Brown guys got the vault/slash/drain combo, blue guys got the the wall-spring attack then drain combo.
Anytime I would start a level and it did that fly-through thingy and I saw a bunch of monsters waiting for me at the bottom, it made me want to put the controller down and go do something else.
Great story and voice-over and gameplay mechanics, but the combat was too much. If they shortened the combat sequences, it would have been much better, IMO.

Exactly, but from the looks of things they added MORE combat for this new one.
