First Real Gameplay Video of New Prince of Persia Game
An anonymous reader writes "After all the screenshot leaks and poor screenshot videos, here's finally the first official game play video of Prince of Persia:Next Generation. It was released at E3 just some hours ago. Wow, I just love their new artistic direction, this game will be a killer!"
First, nothing says this is gameplay footage, not even the page itself. It says "trailer".
Secondly, if it IS gameplay, it's going to be the worst game in the world to control. The camera zooms about absolutely everywhere, in silly places, with little or no thought of what it's looking at or why it's chosen that angle (which suggests a bad camera director of a trailer than a game THAT poor at picking an angle).
Third, some parts of it look absolutely grotesque. All the character's 3D models have outlines, ffs. The "grass" at the end looks like something out of Doom. The only decent parts are the far-off windmills over the town.
Fourth, there is nothing of actual GAMEPLAY here, such as what you're doing, how you fight, how you see where to go next. NOTHING. It's some 3D models in an empty arena doing lots of jumping about to random locations.
If it's gameplay, count me out. If it's a trailer, it's a truly pitiful trailer, that really doesn't deserve a link, let alone a front-page one.

A prince! Of... persia!
