Just had a press release in from the States.  Looks like the XBLA hit Prince of Persia Classic will be released on the PSN this Thursday. The game, which is a direct port of the 360 version, is essentially the original Prince of Persia (same levels, etc) but with 3D graphics, albeit rendered straight on to give the illusion that it’s still 2D. We’re assuming this is a US thing only at this stage, given what we revealed this morning would be hitting the European Store for us, but it’s worth mentioning.

  1. Hopefully the Euro release isn’t to far off as I’ve been looking forward to this, and I’m boring myself moaning about SCEE’s recent lapses after they’ve been pretty on the ball for a couple of months

    But something else I’ve not budgeted for, again!


  2. Wow, one of my all time favourite games back from the Amiga days! great stuff..


    • Good call, one of the best games I had on the Amiga. Though I seem to remember needing cheats so might struggle a bit with the new one!


  3. Definitely due on the EU store soon, SCEE have been promoting it in press releases. According to some blog. :)


    • Man, I should read my own site from time to time, eh? Oh well… ;-)


      • Hell I even forgot I wrote that (well half of it) and got all excited like I was hearing it for the 1st time.


  4. you were probably drunk when you wrote it…


  5. Hmmm. New TSA rule: i’m not allowed on TSA forums after 7pm. Just like i’m not allowed to start drinking till after 7pm. It’s for the best…

    On topic, won’t be buying this. I’m sh*t at (old) games that require talent.
