The new Prince of Persia doesn't look or feel much like a PoP game...

Yep, it is a Persioidvania.
PS: to be honest the only thing that looks like Prince of Persia to me is this:
(and only the immediate sequel had the same style)

Remakes? I read about one remake (SoT), didn't know they're doing more. Well, we'll have to see if they didn't cancel it.
Anyway, this "PoP" game doesn't look fun to me so I'll pass on it. Plus, the mobile game graphics just don't help.
To be honest I don't have a problem with the graphics or the gameplay on their own. The problem I have is the ambience and style is a complete mismatch with "Prince of Persia". If this game was named anything else I wouldn't have a negative opinion on it.
Also I don't like the music in this trailer, that's... I don't know, it feels like putting mayonnaise on top of your ice-cream.
Sorry, a slip-up, just one known. That said, I'm sure they would want to remake the other games as well.
I haven't played many PoP games besides the first one and a bit of the GBA one, but the new one looked pretty good to me.
I think it's made by the same guys who made the latest Rayman games, and those are excellent IMO. But yeah, the aesthetics have nothing in common with any of the games released under that name in the past 30 years, so they really should've titled it differently
For those who don't know, the latest Prince of Persia game by Ubisoft is Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, which was released all the way back in 2010.
Guess the Ubisoft team wasn't in the mood of keeping the series alive since then.

True, looks fine for what it is, but it's not what made me enjoy the old trilogy or even that initial reboot. I guess if modern Ubisoft were to make a fully 3D PoP game, the temptation to just turn it into another Assassin's Creed would be too strong. Don't even really trust them to do a good remake of the original, either.
I really disagree with you on this one Marc. This game looks like fun to me and taking risks with a franchise has become a very rare occurrence, so I think we really ought to at least give the game a chance.
Generally speaking I feel that it seems Ubisoft can do no good : if they keep a franchise formula the same people moan no matter how good it is in the first place (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed), and here we have complaints because they try to move a franchise in a different direction.

While it doesn't seem like a Prince of Persia in the original style, this new one seems to be getting pretty good reviews so I'm excited to try it. Not right now though, too many other games I'm more interested in buying.
I was also very skeptical. No longer. Sure it's not classic PoP, but I will 100% agree with the majority of reviews saying that it IS one of the best Metroidvania style games I've played. Having an absolute blast with this! Highly recommended.
There are tutorials on how to install it on Steam Deck.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
