I loved Prince of Persia Sands of Time growing up - anything with time manipulation was cool as hell to me, plus the cool parkour in the game. Honestly it’s still very very impressive to this day. You can immediately tell how much it would go on to influence Assassin’s Creed based on the combat as well as the crazy acrobatic stuff you do. The one thing that’s kind of annoying is using your dagger to suck the sand out of the monsters mid combat. But most recently is I got to the point where you fight your father and the seemingly endless amount of goons. After I finally killed them all, I figured there would be some cut scene where you restrain or save your father, but nope turns out you need to suck him off into your dagger too. Definitely an intense moment and I’m really looking forward to continuing this story!

I completed almost all similar games like PoP and TR series, I know there are some new titles but I am looking forward for some old PoP Trilogy like experience, do you have a name in mind? 🙂

Sands of Time was the first game I got obsessed with. I played it at my cousin's house and would skip school and sneak out of my house to go visit him and play more lol. I was dreaming about it at night and when I finally got it for myself, I played it like crazy! Anyway...you get the point. I was OBSESSED

I loved the entire trilogy, I loved 2008 as well, also Forgotten Sands(but less) and went back and played the OGs too which I liked but..not as much and never finished them. I've been feening for more PoP for years and years

When The Lost Crown got announced, I was so happy that the series is not dead anymore, but it wasn't what I truly wanted. Let's be honest the first trailer was extremely underwhelming. The artstyle was not my cup of tea and for me looked like a mobile game. I was sad to see my childhood favorite series being reduced to 2D small games(even tho that's it's origin but still)

I didn't buy the game, and when it came to PS Plus, I played 1 hours and dropped it. It didn't feel like PoP to me. But after going through another SoT marathon recently I gave it one more shot.....still not impressed with the intro but I pushed through and holy shit...

It just kept getting better and better. As the map opens up, as you get more abilities and see more of the story unfolding, the familiar vibes start to come back. The parkour is awesome, the world is very interesting, the map is becoming one of my favorite of any metroidvania, and above all, this is definitely Prince of Persia! It has it's own unique style but the roots of what I love about this series is here.

I can't belive that all this time there was a great PoP game and I completely neglect it while complaining the series is doomed. I feel really stupid and I'm leaving this here in case anyone else didn't try it yet, or gave up on it in the early game. Please, please do yourself a favor and give this an honest chance. It's great!

I feel like PoP underwent a bit of an identity crisis after the conclusion of the Sands Trilogy, especially once AC1 hit store shelves. Immediately following its meteoric rise to popularity, Ubisoft made it clear that there could only be one swashbuckling parkour franchise, and well, we all know what happened next.

PoP has been resurrected in recent years, but Ubisoft has shown no signs of slowing down on AC. This has got me thinking - how could the two franchises coexist in the modern day? It's no secret that PoP laid the groundwork for AC, but how could the games remain distinct experiences?

If you ask me, I think PoP can distinguish itself by leaning into fantastical themes, like many of the games have done by giving time powers and other magical abilities to heroes and villains alike. AC could also distinguish itself by returning to a focus on stealth, but we all know there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of that happening.

What are your thoughts?

REQUEST: save file of about 15-16 hours that i can put in my files and go from there, the last place i was is a place very deep down with 2 small yellow circles connecting to a big yellow circle on the ground. thank you

PoP Sands of Time Remastered VS New PoP Game?

okay so i have to ask, is there any way to obtain the skin on ps3 in 2026? is there any save file that has it along with other skins (i don't really want to play it 100% besides achivements to get them all again) or a file editor i can use to input me having it?

i know about the method of deleting the game and reinstalling without the update but i also know it doesn't work on all profiles so i am leavimg this method as last resolve

I played the games somewhat in backward order: Two Thrones first in 2007, then Warrior Within and Finally The Sands of Time. It was during my early teens. The sands of time is my favorite.

However, from time to time, I listen to Conflict at Entrance, Two Thrones Main Menu Music, and Tower of Dawn during driving and other activities (the 30 min youtube versions). Recently, I did just that and a lot of warrior content (roughly a year or two old) are being suggested to me in Youtube.

One thing, I noticed is that every video mentions the edgy tone shift of WW.

TBH, when I played the game, I don't remember the tone shifts at all. And, i feel like, a sequel changing substantially from its predecessor was the norm, and seeing the same gameplay and tones in sequel was not an expected thing. Gameplay and tone staying the same is a phenomena of late 2000s and was normalized during 2010s.

That said, was the tone shift that big of a deal back in the day? Most of my friends think WW is the best game in the trilogy. To me it feels like in inconsequential thing, just an anecdote, "Ooooh! Yeah! WW was edgy. Anyway,....", but these youtube videos make me feel like it was a big deal.

Those who lived through that, what was your opinion?
