Prince of Persia Update: Achievements, Hero Worship

I love how characters get "Designed" these days.

Okay, regardless of the content of the game, is anyone else sick of these types of game trailers.

I mean ones where they have the developers and/or media idiots talking about the game in a completely non informative way. It annoys me in both an understandable and irrational way.

I miss the days when games were allowed to speak for themselves rather than showing us a picture of a cardboard box and some fat hack yelling 'OMG DIS IS NOT A GENERIC BOX THIS IS BASED ON CAPTIN JACK SPARRRROW OMG I JUST CAME'.

Developers, If you're reading this, we really appriaciate the work you put into games..but there's a reason you're not a presenter. You took the intelligence perk rather than the charisma one.

anyone noticed the "smolder with generic rage" line? http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/12/03/
i think yahtzee had it in his review too.

this aside the promo was fucking stupid, the circlejerk including game"journalists" made me want to stab those motherfuckers. Also fuck all the mainstream references ala indiana jones,han solo and fucking spiderman. I want the prince of persia not a 80's buddy movie with a sassy chick and some final fantasy effects.

I played every Pop even the ah so shitty prince of persia 3d before that franchise bounced back with sands of time and never before did i give less of a shit about a prince game coming out.
I'm sure the game will be decent but by now i'm not even sure if its a prince of persia game. they basically abandoned the persian/indian setting of prince of persia for some generic final fantasy setting replacing the prince with some scarf wearing metro dude with some plastered on scars to make him look less gay.

kids, i hate when developers make these videos. imagine if valve made this taking about gorden. FUCK THIS TYPE OF PROMO! in other news, the game looks okay, but i hate platformers.

Man the marketing for this game is all over the place. Some of the trailers are absolutely fantastic (including the intro on the home page), but then there's stuff like this which is just plain bad. Wtf?

that was terrible. getting a bunch of people that don't play games to talk about your game? WTF

This game's not even out yet and we have journalists picking him apart? Ok marketing.

OK, props to the producer for referencing "smolder with generic rage".

looks like Wakka from FFx
