TGS 2008: Hands On - Prince of Persia
This new Prince is rather a lot like the old Prince - in all the best ways.

That's not inborn in all women? Just when you think you know the opposite sex, you learn something new. And here I was thinking transforming into balls of light was just a female-specific trait, like breasts.Susan Arendt post=6.73671.803856 said:TGS 2008: Hands On - Prince of Persia
she clearly has some kind of mystical or spiritual powers, because although she'll climb a wall right along with the Prince, she can also transform into a ball of blue light and fly from place to place.

I don't think so, because I had pretty much the same experience as you. This really, really felt a lot like Sands of Time to me.Easykill post=6.73671.805476 said:Really? I loved the first game but didn't get far at all in the second game. I'm not going to be disappointed again, am I?

For the Prince, or for the game?stompy post=6.73671.809657 said:Great, I'm looking forward to Prince of Persia. By any chance, have they got a name yet?
Game. Last I heard, t'was Prince of Persia: Prodigy, but I'm not too sure that's the proper name...TsunamiWombat post=6.73671.809801 said:For the Prince, or for the game?stompy post=6.73671.809657 said:Great, I'm looking forward to Prince of Persia. By any chance, have they got a name yet?
My apologies if I'm wrong, but doesn't that story seem a bit cliche? At least they could have gone for something more persia themed, like a genie. Then there could be some hilarious circumstances where he has to hide that she's a genie, or he has to rectify some awkward spell that she cast to try and "help" him, like make an elephant appear in the living room.TsunamiWombat post=6.73671.805420 said:Actually I can explain the story with the woman.

Edit: Apparently she's one of the last Ahura's, ancient mystics who keep the games Bigbad, Ahriman, imprisoned in the tree of life. Alas, predictably, someone slaughters the rest and destroys the tree, leaving only 'Jedi Trainee' Elika and the Prince to stop it.
I think they made a TV Show out of that.LyonLee post=6.73671.809914 said:My apologies if I'm wrong, but doesn't that story seem a bit cliche?

Also mysticism and mystics have a strong tie to ancient Middle Eastern cultures, there's even a sect of Islam that practices it.TsunamiWombat post=6.73671.809920 said:I think they made a TV Show out of that.LyonLee post=6.73671.809914 said:My apologies if I'm wrong, but doesn't that story seem a bit cliche?

Ahriman is -very- persian themed, it's the force of malevolence and evil in the worlds oldest monotheistic religeon- Zoroastranism. In Zoroastranism though, rather then Good v Evil it was Order v Chaos- Ahriman being the representation of chaos, entropy, and deciet.
That's actually a very near copy of one of the Zoroastrian apocalypse myths.Lvl 64 Klutz post=6.73671.810667 said:Also mysticism and mystics have a strong tie to ancient Middle Eastern cultures, there's even a sect of Islam that practices it.TsunamiWombat post=6.73671.809920 said:I think they made a TV Show out of that.LyonLee post=6.73671.809914 said:My apologies if I'm wrong, but doesn't that story seem a bit cliche?
