I checked out some more pictures of it and it looks quite a bit darker than The Sands of Time.

The prince looks a lot angrier this time and there seems to be some sort of undead looking soldiers again . . . and a pirate ship.

:ahoy:

Looks to be pretty interesting though. If it turns out like the first PS2 Prince of Persia then it should be really good. I wonder what kind of story it'll have . . . .

[Infernal Mass]

the god of fate or time and his minions are after the prince for playing around with the sands of time..

or something like that.

I read the preview for Sands of Time 2 in Game Informer, and they descirbed the "new" prince as full of anger and frustration due to the change in times (ie, the deranged environment), and the fact that the developers thought he hadn't had that kick-ass factor built into his appearance during the first game. Either way, the sequel is looking mighty good :drool:

IGN: What has happened to the Prince since the conclusion of the last game? Why is he so angry and broody?

Yannis Mallat: The short answer is that The Prince hasn't been getting enough sleep…
The long answer has to do with the consequences of The Prince's actions in the previous game. When he opened the Hourglass at the start of Sands of Time he inadvertently set into motion events which would reach far beyond his adventure at the Sultan's palace.

He was supposed to die... But as well all know, not only did The Prince survive the opening of the Hourglass, he managed to reseal the sands and prevent the disaster from ever occurring. He had changed his fate. While this was a terrific thing for the people of his kingdom, it's lead to a virtual death sentence for our Prince.

Fate doesn't like to be pushed around. And when an individual, through some incredible act of bravery, heroism, or luck, manages to avoid his or her fate, a Dahaka is spawned.

The Dahaka's job is simple: restore things to the way they should have been. And since The Prince "should have" died in the Sultan's palace, it's the Dahaka's job to make that happen. The Dahaka is really good at its job. So good, in fact, that in all of recorded history, there is no mention of an individual managing to escape its grasp.

And so ever since The Prince defeated the Vizier and resealed the Sands of Time, he's had a new enemy to deal with - one which he cannot seem to harm.

Initially, The Prince sought training - with skilled warriors - and later, on the field of battle. Driven by a desire to be rid of this creature he threw himself into the fray with little concern for his own personal safety. If he was to have any chance of killing this thing, he'd have to become a master swordsman. The enemies he fought and faced seemed insignificant compared to this beast. And when he wasn't fighting, The Prince was avoiding The Dahaka - by traveling to the furthest corners of the known world. It was only a matter of days - sometimes mere hours - before The Dahaka would find its way to our hero's location, forcing him to move once more.

People ignorant of The Prince's true situation just assumed he'd gone mad. He raced about the world, rarely sleeping, always fighting. But the truth of the matter is he's up against an apparently invincible creature which is never more than a few steps behind him. And it's driven him more than a little mad

infernal check this out, ign has a VIDEO (http://media.cube.ign.com/media/654/654713/vids_1.html) about the new combat system in pop 2. :arrr:


August 10, 2004 - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time shook up the gaming world with its release last holiday. Though the action-adventure 3D realization of the classic 2D franchise scored major kudos from IGN, it did have a few issues. The foremost of those issues was the combat, which got a bit repetitive at times. That shouldn't be a problem for the November sequel, which features a brand new free-form fighting engine.


If you've ever wanted to be a prince, this is your chance. In PoP 2 players can choose how they battle any enemy. Grab an enemy and then decide if you want to throw them into another enemy, cut their head or, or split them in two. You can even use dual swords. Heck, you can pick up an enemy weapon if you like -- no more of this dissipating into sand stuff from The Sands of Time. With two weapons in hand, you'll be able to attack with ferocity or even throw your secondary weapon at your opponent.

PoP 2 features 63 different weapons across five main classes. Each class has a specific special attack and every weapon is designed to feel different when you attack. It's no button-masher, as you'll need to find the proper rhythm for each deadly device.

It looks too pirate-y.

[Vic Viper]

theres another new trailer..and i notice the game has a new subtitle, "the warrior within".. dont really like the new subtitle oh well, the game will still own.:)

heres the trailer (http://www.videogamerx.net/bbs/view.php?id=vx01&no=7529) :pimp:

[Infernal Mass]

they deffinately fixed up the redundant battle system from the first game.That was my only complaint about sands of time. Thanks for the link to that video clip Vic. When is the release date on this one?.

I was reading an interview in the new egm or gamepro, with one of the developers. He said that the prince is going to die no matter what, it sounds like God of War. Where you know the hero is destined to die but you still want to push forward to see just how these events take place. Looks like the game will most likel be rated M this time around with all the decapitations and blood. :ninja:
