Ubisoft screwed up the Prince of Persia franchise.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

So just when we thought the whole sands of time thing is complete, an interquel (taking place between sands of time and warrior within) will be released as their next installment in the franchise.

Honestly, what about Prince of Persia 2008?

The Prince of Persia franchise will soon become one of the most whored out franchises in video game history, behind mario.

>Insinuating the series wasn't screwed up to begin with.

I never received Prince of Persia from GameFly.

I enjoyed the first 3, 3D ones. Then the cartoon-shader one...I really, really tried to enjoy it...but got so bored with it.

Ubisoft has been getting consistently worse since R6: Lockdown and Double Agent.

Goddamn Ubisoft.

Assassin's Creed 2 is spectacular, otherwise Ubi has seemed relatively uninteresting lately. I'd like to see some more new IPs. The Clancy games have become such muddled mediocre rubbish. I recall with great fondness the days of Rogue Spear, Ravenshield and the original Ghost Recon. Here's to hoping the new Splinter Cell is at least moderately entertaining.

The demo was painful to say the least.

Ubisoft are the destroyer of franchises.

PoP 2008 sucked and didn't sell well. Far Cry 2 was average. The Rainbow Six: Vegas series are some of the worst FPS's I've played. The new Splinter Cell sucks (and so did DA).

 

[Asknoone]

Isn't this where it went wrong?

 

[flamingdts]

Ubisoft has good ideas for new IPs, but they milk them to death. They really should have at least finished the PoP 2008 before releasing an interquel for PoP Sands of time.

It's a shame how most companies tend to do well when milking their franchises (see Blizzard). Some of them even get terrific reviews. Ubisoft on the other hand, is just absolutely horrible with it.

Honestly, Forgotten sands is between Sands of time and Warrior within. That's ridiculously far back in the timeline. The game wouldn't introduce anything new, but instead take away from it (being able to become the Dark Prince for example).

I havent played the games at that time but I do remnber the wtf at the sudden change of style of the second one

like if the new art director where some emo-metal guy and went
possible emo-metal new art director: "now I am the boss and this is what we will do"

other artist that was since the previous game: "but this is very diferent from..."

possible emo-metal new art director: "do you have the job of boss,no? them silence!"

Maybe we should tell the new art director "them silence!"

Well not the new new art director from the 2008 PoP since the art direction in that was great, but the one previous to that.

hell they screwed up splinter cell too. The only thing still right really is assassin's creed :|

Ubisoft haven't delivered this gen imo. Only AC2 has been really good. Far Cry 2 could have been great but had too many flaws.

 

[the cow says moo]

Far Cry 2 sucked. Straight up.

All ya'll Ubi haters: BEHOLD!

Farcry 2 had so much potential.

Respawning posts that respawn when you are a few feet away from it.... Heck, they shoot at you no matter which faction you've been helping. I'm sure situations are vaguely similar in Africa, but I doubt they will fire at ANYONE passing their post....

Diamonds.... Honestly, I want to upgrade and buy new weapons, but I honestly am not bothered to search for millions of diamonds just to get some upgrades that don't do shit.

Why won't developers realize that having limited gold in a game and having to search all over the world for it has absolutely no fun value at all? Wolfenstein and FC2 did it, and it sucked ass.

Anyways I derailed my own thread. The trailer for forgotten sands isn't even that good. Ubisoft is becoming EA even before becoming part of them.
