Well, firstly, I am glad you enjoyed the Prince of Persia released in 2008!

The Forgotten Sands can hardly be called “filler” though… Ubisoft has always had a fondness for the Sands of Time universe, and The Forgotten Sands germinated from a desire that many of us developers had to return to that universe. Of course, we’ve had a lot of fans ask for us to return to the Sands of Time universe as well, so that didn’t hurt, ha ha!

Will we see a continuation of the Prince of Persia 2008 storyline? I can’t really say one way or the other… all I know is that I have only been working on The Forgotten Sands.

The game offers a total of 18 levels/maps for a total of about 8-10 hours of gameplay.

Oh yes, one of our primary goals was to ensure that the framerate ran smoothly! And, of course, a part of that was making sure that all of the Prince’s agility was accounted for in the gameplay and that the controls felt responsive… we wanted to make sure that you got plenty of opportunities to see that smooth framerate in action!

I have a question here,
I have somewhat been following this game in and out, and due to the game being leaked already for the psp, i went into a blackout in a sense.

My question is, since this is a different game then the PS3/xbox360 version, How is the story different? Right now I only have funds for the PSP version, but when I am able to, I will purchase the PS3 version. Is it possible to explain the story of both games or the differences in the stories between the PS3 version and the PSP version without spoiling it?

I like the POP games, but are we going to see a real sequel to the 2008 title?

Where the original Sands of Time was good, Warrior Within was waaay better, mostly due to the setting, story, and the types of environments and feeling that it gives the player.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Persian setting, but I find the more ancient mythology of the 2008 title to be a lot more interesting. The Persian/Arabian Nights setting just seems tired by comparison. It’s been done to death IMO.

The 2008 title also includes a lot of that same feeling of isolation in relatively big open environments, and the art style: AMAZING!

So is The Forgotten Sands just filler to tie in with the movie until we see a continuation of the latest new game?

I would never buy any previous POP game on PSP since they were just poor versions of PS2 games. You guys totally bought me with the fact this this POP is 2D… I love 2D games. Good thing that it will be different than PS3 version. I’m gonna buy both version :)

Looks amazing, one question, how many missions do we have in this game?

I think I’ll need a demo before deciding on this purchase. The last two PoP PSP games have been lackluster to say in the least (and completely awful if we’re being honest)

Now this is what I like- PSP games with PS3 connectivity. Ill be sure to grab this one too.

I took a look at the console version at PAXEAST 2010 in Boston. That looked great so i pre-ordered it at the ubisoft/frag doll desk. At first, i was interested in the PSP version but now, thanks to this trailer, im convinced for a buy. I appreciate the efforts of crafting a unique and well-made version of the Prince on the PSP without it just being some port or lazy version.

Will the game run smoothly on PSP? it looked a tad bit sluggish but it could be the trailer.

Oh and thank you guys for your efforts and creativity poured into making awesome games. can’t wait for my copy of the Forgotten Sands (PS3) on tues.!
