Alweer een oude klassieker waarvan een opvolger met met 3D verpakking wordt uitgebracht: Prince of Persia 3D. De gamer die al een tijdje meeloopt herinnert zich vast nog wel het eindeloze rondstuiteren en doodvallen met onze Persische held. Gamespot UK heeft een preview van Prince of Persia 3D in elkaar gedraaid. Hier wat info over deel 3, die naar verwachting in oktober gereleased zal worden:
The idea is that you're not taking the Prince exploring in a free roaming 3D interactive world, rather that within a detailed and expansive series of 3D levels you have to surmount a series of quite clearly defined obstacles between you and your immediate destination. Fundamentally, you will know that you have to get from A to B within a level to progress - the catch is that between you and that door (or whatever), there are four guards, a collapsing floor, three spike traps and so on. NPCs in the game are not there to chat with you, they're there either to give specific pointers as to a puzzle up ahead, or to give you a hard time. Nothing more. No, you wouldn't be trying to make pixel perfect 3D jumps before the screen flipped across as was always the joy of the previous 2D games, but nor will you be wandering around vast empty levels, Dark Forces-style, searching for hidden buttons to open secret doors.
