Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake - Console Club - Page 5

Stilul cartoonish a fost folosit si la Prince of Persia reboot. Mai nou este si la Immortal.
Se vede ca a fost realizat de Ubisoft India. Are un vibe oriental, iar personajele seamănă cu cele din India sau chiar Iran.

It’s very unique. According to the acrobatics, the velocity of the Prince and really wanted to respect the brand for the fan and the player to understand why Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time [the 2003 original] was the first game of its genre and actually create a new trend for the gaming industry.”

Movement and momentum aside, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time featured time bending mechanics like slow motion and rewind. Sylvain-Gires describes how translating these core gameplay mechanics posed a concern when working with the Anvil engine — it’s Ubisoft’s in-house tech that powers its Assassin’s Creed games.

“The principle of the rewind is a headache technically,” he says. “The Anvil engine was not made at all to do rewind, to do slow motion, to do all those time manipulation. The tech approach was a challenge.”

Another issue is the engine itself and what it was originally meant for. It powers a lot of Ubisoft titles that focus on systemic and reactive gameplay loops rather than the straightforward adventures Prince of Persia games tend to be.

“Anvil engine is mainly for open-world games,” says Senior Producer Annu Koul. “The game we have is a short, linear game and not an open-world game so there are many challenges we have to be wary of.”

“At the same time the main challenge was to create a game where we had to play on the nostalgia and we have to give it the modern twist,” she says.“Keeping this balance intact is important.”

Why does Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake look like that?
When pressed further on the reception to the games visuals, the team explained it was a stylistic choice.

“If you take the game that was made 17 years ago, there’s definitely room for improvement in terms of graphism and we really wanted to give a unique look to the game because Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is actually is a fantasy story,” says Sylvain-Gires. “The narration, the 40 different levels you have to go through to finish the game are an immersion into the Thief of Baghdad and all these magical environments. So we decided to go for a unique visual treatment to make this game standout from other games. It’s not another Assassin’s Creed, it’s not like the same Prince of Persia from 2008. It has to be unique. This magic, this fantasy is shown through the saturation, through the light, so it also a challenge to redefine the visual identity of the game with this remake.”

Essentially it appears to be an attempt at having a different aesthetic sensibility versus most console and PC games on the market all while drawing from the well of inspiration known to many a Prince of Persia fan — One Thousand and One Nights. That made us wonder if there was any oversight from Ubisoft’s other studios given the legacy of the Prince of Persia IP.

“It’s completely led by Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai,” says Production Director Sashi Menon. “The advantage of working in a company like Ubisoft is we have a lot of support from experts around the studio and that’s something we always leveraged upon. But the development is completely led from here.”

We pressed further if this visual approach is a result of a constraint in terms of budget or timelines, the usual culprits for games turning out the way they are. This does not seem to be the case.

“No it was not a problem of timeline or budget,” says Syed Abbas, Deputy Managing Director. “For us at Ubisoft quality is of the utmost importance and this is something that we have kept in mind from the start. The project has been in development for the last two and a half years. We have had at peak 170 members working on this project and not to mention other investments in infrastructure and set up to make a modern game. No there have not been any cutback in budget or timeline for the game.” [...]

Ubisoft India Explains Why Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Looks the Way It Does • The Mako Reactor

E clar. Dacă nu s-a implicat serios niciun studio vestic, e firesc să arate în halul ăsta. Să sperăm că pot remedia cât mai mult din aspectele criticate până la lansare.

Pe principiul "it's not a bug, it's a feature".
By the way, asa arata un joc dupa 2 ani si jumatate de development cu o singura persoana:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5El-yYNUwU

Pai aia in interviu vorbesc prostii - sunt ca roboteii aia de la call center care orice ii intrebi, ei repeta placa lor - si e firesc...sunt indieni. Asa stiu ei sa reactioneze si au aceleasi raspunsuri standard si efectiv nu-i poti scoate din bula lor.

Nu se plange nimeni (cred) de stilul jocului, mai cartoonish, mai dreamy sau cum e el. Ci de calitatea grafica overall, de polygon count, de calitatea texturilor, de lipsa efectelor "la zi", samd.
Daca Anvil nu se descurca, puteau trece la Snowdrop sau alt engine capabil de la Ubisoft.

The priority for Ubisoft is to allow any player to play the game, we implemented many things for accessibility but also level of difficulties that were not there in the original game,” reveals Pierre Sylvain-Gires, Game Director. “The level of difficulty that we had even in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within was not there in [the original] Sands of Time, and now you can actually select different difficulty levels to ensure every player will be able to enjoy the game till the end.

Foarte bine procedeaza Ubi in ultima vreme cu toate amanarile astea =D>

Cauti in Google: Prince of Persia Remake

Data de lansare: 18 martie 2021

Imi e greu sa gasesc ceva in lumea gamingului mai jenant decat Ubisoft. Gasesti informatia ca a fost amanat pe orice site minuscul de gaming, numai ei au omis sa mai faca vreo modificare, atat de mult le pasa.

Avem Ubisoft Forward pe 12 iunie, probabil atunci vin cu noua data de lansare.

That gives Ubisoft a lot of wiggle room to polish the game without committing to a specific release date, but still provides fans with a closer approximation of when it will release.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Gets New Release Window

Vom avea vesti noi in curand!

Nu va fi la Ubisoft Forward, se lanseaza in 2022:

Cel mai probabil au aruncat tot ce au aratat si aveau, dupa feedback-ul primit si au luat-o de la 0 cu acest remake.

O decizie inteleapta era pacat de joc sa primeasca un asa remake, doar cu numele.

Probabil se va lansa in primavara sau in toamna anului 2022. Dar pana atunci, e un timp bun sa reiau seria la jucat pentru a nu stiu cata oara... Dar, totusi, nu ma poti desparti de serie. A ramas acolo in amintire mele cele mai frumoase din copilarie. Tin minte ca la primul meu PC prin 2004, am jucat Sands of Time de 3 ori, eram hipnotizat de fiecare data.

Jocul e in development, ne reasigura Ubisoft:
