Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

[(-_-)]

I had the same interaction. Got the first powerup and expected some kind of platform mechanic. Some way the prince would jump that would aid him in either combat or platforming. Then i just kinda.... flew around instead? So i assumed that I probably just picked poorly. Then i expected a cool combat thing the next time because the combat really needed improvement. But i just end up flying around again. ugh

Yeah. One of the best parts of Prince of Persia for me was seeing the level to scale, and where I have to go then thinking, wow, how the shit do I get up there? Then figuring it out. One big platforming puzzle you figure out as you go. The magic in the game came off as a really lame ass way of skipping out the effort of making levels to work, into levels that worked for them. It's like somewhere in the design process they were having so much fun making the game pretty and epic, that they forgot to make creative ways of navigating it. So at all of the spots that they couldn't connect with platforming they went, fuck it, we'll just move the player over to the right spot.

So after that teaser from VGA 09', what does everyone think of it?
I saw how it went back to the SoT trilogy, but anyone else think the Prince looked a little weird? My friend says it's because the game is pretty much based on the entire movie, meaning they modeled the Prince after the actor, but whatever.
And as I say about all teasers, I hate them. Seconds to a minute of footage that really show nothing important about the game.

That was a fairly odd trailer. It looked nothing like the prince at all. It didn't tell you much either, some standard action, bla bla bla, attacks large creature, and then rewind. Maybe I missed this ability to control nature that he is supposed to have?
