Prince of Persia Being Remade for XBLA
UbiSoft has announced that the original 1989 Prince of Persia will be remade for Xbox Live Arcade. Good news for those who are fans of classic platformers, for sure. Here's what the game's all about:
While the Sultan of Persia is away for a war, the evil Vizier seizes the throne for himself. He has also imprisoned the beautiful Princess and has given her an hour to decide her fate – marry him or die. As the courageous Prince, you have 60 minutes to complete the mission of saving the Princess from her deadly fate.
Due out early this summer, this high-definition remake will feature "the same intricate level design, exciting swordplay, puzzle solving, and storyline from the original." Developer Gameloft will update Prince of Persia Classic with new character designs (the Prince is yummy, IMO), animations, visuals and lighting effects thus giving it a "close to 3D look." In addition to that, new traps, puzzles and enemies have been added.
It has been far too long since I've paid a visit to this dear old friend. I will most certainly welcome the Prince of Persia I knew in 1989 with open arms. Will you?
