Prince of Persia HD Trilogy Coming Exclusively to PSN; Sands of Time Launches Today

by Xav de Matos, Nov 16, 2010 12:40pm PST

Ubisoft community manager Patrick Brod revealed that the Prince of Persia Trilogy is coming to the PlayStation Network exclusively, in a post on the PlayStation Blog.

"These PS2 classics have been upgraded with HD graphics and are ready for 3D-enabled televisions for the first time ever," Brod wrote, noting that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time would be made available today.

Previously rumored as a retail release, Ubisoft confirmed a Prince of Persia HD Trilogy was coming to the PS3 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Although the disc was not revealed for North America, Ubisoft listed the three prev-gen Prince of Persia titles as PSN releases in first-half of the year financial report, yesterday. Inquires by Shacknews regarding the listing were not answered.

Each upgraded title will run in 720p and will be priced at $14.99. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones will launch in December.

Interested in seeing reviews and videos of these HD remasterings to see if they are just upped resolution or if they actually went in and improved the models a la Sly Cooper.

The hell? Only 720p? There should be more then enough power and then some in the PS3 to run all of the last-gen PoP games at 1080p. Makes no sense. Maybe they sacrificed 1080p to give it higher quality anti-aliasing. In that case I'd still take 1080p instead. More detail is more detail.

The latter two entries in the series deserve more love. Yes, the artistic, score, and thematic directions of WW were horrid, but gameplay-wise it's as solid as any PoP. Two Thrones was reviled because of WW, I think, but it's even better.

Funny, I think I paid just a little more than that for Forgotten Sands, lol. SOT was awesome, but I'll probably wait for a sale.
