TGS 08: New Prince of Persia trailer is pretty to look at and listen to

Recommended Videos

Woo hoo! Today is Trailertoid!

While most videogame trailers reveal too much for my taste (I still refuse to watch the Resident Evil 5 videos), this preview for the new Prince of Persia contains the perfect amount of stunning visuals and interesting gameplay to get me interested … without ruining anything that will make me regret watching it in the first place.

Oh, and it has pretty music. I am a sucker for pretty music.

The more I see of Prince of Persia the more I like it. In particular, I am a huge fan of the art style and the ridiculously vivid colors. A lot of recent games — especially on the Xbox 360 — display such muted visuals that it is refreshing to see a bright red and deep blue once and a while.

Let us know what you think about this TGS trailer. Are you excited for the new direction Prince of Persia is taking? Do you think the (badass) female companion is a fair replacement for the (also badass) time manipulation mechanic? Do girls with pretty singing voices make everything better?
