    Prince of Persia's one of those foundational series, at least to me - I remember playing Two Thrones at like 14-15 on my Gamecube thinking "dang, this is pretty good." Turns out it was. Coming straight outta Canada, and (unfortunately) Ubisoft, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time spun a huge fanbase and greenlit a trilogy - it's that good. So for once I wasn't spiking my controller mid playthrough as one is wont to do. At least when you marathon stuff like me. This is only part 1, but the sequel's coming sometime next month.

    Warrior within is actually my favourite out of all of them. I think the tone change and character change is explained well with the story. Its really well made. I love all 3 games but WW was just so great. The semi open world was great and the Atmosphere was absolutely beautiful

      @@mapacherojo8475 for sure. It was amazing. The music is wayyyyy too good. I still listen to the album. Atmosphere was great. I think people oversimplify it by saying its "emo prince". But i think it was done properly. Like there was a good reason for it to happen. He had been on the run for so long and he was scared of the dahaka. So he was filled with rage as well and wanted to just be done with all that. The story was actually really good and very well made. The level design was absolutely amazing. Watching the same places in past and present was really fun.
      Hopefully if they do remake prince of persia sands of time, and it goes well and they go on to remake warrior within, i hope they keep it faithful to source material and keep the same type of music as well. An issue with newer games is that they focus way to much on orchestras. They're amazing. But some games are just made for rock and metal, like doom.

      I played it way back in school a couple of years after it released. Loved every minute of it. And back then, playing games with your friends didn't mean playing online. It meant we'd physically meet up at the house of the guy who had the best console or PC and fire up a game and take turns playing it, seeing who could get past the hard parts. The old school combo mechanic would be interesting to revisit. It felt very smooth and organic compared to the preset finisher animations we have today. And the atmosphere of that game was just brilliant.

      @@lamenamethefirst the combat is something that i really miss nowadays. That sort of sombat system, the flow of the combos, the amount of moves . It was crazy .way ahead of its time. The semi open world was great, even though it was fairly linear in progression. The secrets were great. The dahaka was such a well made enemy in the game. Every single chase scene was so scary and it was really satisfying to pull of the escapes. I played it back on the ps2 when it came out. And it blew my mind. I kept revisiting the game every year or so and then playing it on pc and psp when i got those. And it never ceased to amaze me. It was fun throughout and i think it holds up very well. Infact the whole trilogy holds up really really well. I could easily recommend it to a new gamer and they would most likely enjoy it.

    20:25 I think the reason of why Two Thrones wasn't that well received was because of it's prototype, Prince of Persia: Kindred Blades which was gonna be an open world game that kept Warrior Within's edge and it also had the Dark Prince but you could transform into him on command (by walking to fire sources as opposed to the healing water ones) and he had no time limit and apparently the ending of the game depended on which character you spent most time playing with, there's even a demo so they went pretty far with the initial idea.
    The issue is that while the game eventually switched directions into a more linear Sands of time experience the marketing didn't, almost all press for the game was based on Kindred Blades (Like trailers showing the Prince saving civilians from monsters, and pouring fire to turn into the Dark Prince) so when the final game came out it didn't resembled the marketing material and people felt kinda cheated.

    • @Xfushion2
      @Xfushion2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I was also confused when Two Thrones came out and it was vastly different from all the trailers promoting it, while I did ended up enjoying the game the aspect that I was dissapointed by the most was the Dark Prince, the guy is fun to play as but it's restricted to very short sequences and they are few and far between, maybe keeping the original idea of turning into him on command wouldn't have worked on a linear game but they should have found a way to have him around longer.
      Warrior Within is also my favorite, sure is edgy as hell but since I'm into heavy metal bands the soundtrack and the mood didn't bother me at all and not accounting that I feel that the level design in that game was the best of the three.

      I mean Two Thrones is not bad as per say. it's just Warrior Within is more interesting, it's open ended level design and it's bold cleverly put together story (which for the record, today's 90% developers don't have the balls to create a smart edgy story like that). was just too much for it to surpass. maybe if Ubisoft had not abandoned the original Kindred Blades concept

From the ending of Warrior Within, it was clear that Dark Prince was the true villian. Two Thrones cut him down to an annoying voice in the head, even when Prince transforms the Dark Prince has no control of the Body or the Mind.

    To this day I still remember that moment towards the end of TTT where, after the Prince's father dies and he starts freaking out about what to do and Farah and all that and thinks that maybe if he recovers the sands he can time travel again like in WW
    And then the Dark Prince drops the bomb: AND THEN WHAT? and basically goes through every single mistake the Prince made since the first game, how he kept abusing the sands to "fix" the problems, HIS problems and ended up causing more, bigger problems to himself and others to the point he's essentially at the same place he was during the first game, the vizier is in control and kidnapped Farah and he's messing with powers beyond his comprehension.
    And the Prince actually acknowledges this and how he has been acting like a kid running away from the consequences of his own actions and swears to not depend on the sands ever again

    Interesting Trivia bit.
    In Russian dub they never changed Prince's VA - they simply recorded lines for Warrior Within in the morning while VA's voice was coarse due to him being forced into heavy drinking on the night before the recording session.
    Man suffered for the sake of art! But myths and legends of crazy Russian dubs aside - having one consistent VA really helped to sell Prince's journey from young and naive man to weary and hardened warrior.

    The refined combat, the gloomy atmosphere, the punishing difficulty especially when dealing with the puzzles to unlock life bar upgrades, are all the best in the series in my opinion.
    I not only beat the game multiple times over the years, I also beat the game when it was a thing on iOS.
    WW was the only SoT trilogy game that got a release on iOS! Because of its best gameplay out of them all, I imagine.

      I played Prince of Persia sands of time , it’s a good game all tho it does need some improvements, I started playing warriors within and I was disappointed, this game has a lack of puzzles solving compared to the first game , the 2nd game does have the great platforming and action from the first game but where the hell are the puzzles in the game !!!!?????? It focuses too much on action and platforming but without the puzzle solving mixed into it. Like the first game had a focus on platforming, action and puzzles solving but now it seems like the 2nd game abandons puzzle solving. This made me drop the game , like if ur going to try to improve from the first game then why drop a very fun gameplay element that might make me like this game less than the first game???? So I’m just wondering if warriors within is still worth continuing playing the game , like does it get better , will have it puzzles later on or do I have accept this new gameplay style??

You can also do the parry from WW, but it's super hard to do. You need to be pixel perfect. Just a heads up if youre gonna replay sands of time.

    1. Warrior within - the whole atmosphere of the island gave me eerie vibes that you may be being watched and there was something different around the corner, a feeling that was only recreated in Batman Arkham Asylum. The Dahaka, Kaileena, the combat, the gore, the soundtrack what's not to love.
    2. Sands of time - the narrative, Farah, the puzzles, the monologues, humour. All great . So much nostalgic feels.
    3. Two thrones - still a really great game but I felt like a lot of the areas kept repeating themselves. Backstreet after backstreet after backstreet. It still gets points for Farah and the boss levels and the satisfying conclusion

    It's because of this trilogy that I realized video games can have such engaging stories with fun gameplay. True there's jank, but as long as it doesn't make the game unplayable, I can live with it. Warrior Within is my personal favorite as I've played it countless times, but the glitchy stuff you showed off just adds to said experience.
    One particular glitch happened when I played the Xbox version. I got the life upgrade from the bottom of the main hall, where you move the lever to access the towers, and came back to see... nothing. I shit you not, the hall's layout didn't load in, leaving it just a black abyss. Funny enough, the hitboxes were still there, so I was able to have the Prince stand over said abyss.
    Thankfully, all I had to do was exit the hall and come back to load the place back in. But yeah, I don't know what they did with Warrior Within, but that game is not stable sometimes. I played the PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and PS3 ports that had their own glitches, but that was the most memorable one I can recall.

    I owe so much to Prince of Persia. Not only as a foundational piece of my childhood as a solid platformer, but for introducing me to the middle-east's past and making me want to understand a lot of the setting. It opened up this whole world to me of the ancient Persian/Iranian empires and made me fascinated with that vibe I couldn't explain. also it conditioned me to basically release a hit of dopamine every time I hear Yuri Lowenthall (the Prince in 1 & 3)'s voice.

    Actually WW had a precursor to stealth takedowns (hence existence of line sentries to kill) introduced in TTT - if you grab an enemy while it doesn't notice you it will not alert everyone in location and you can choke them death culminating in Prince taking their weapon and beheading them... Even if it was a mace.
    Kinda funny that you missed wall jump attack in first game and silent choke move in second both mechanics they expanded upon in next respective games.

    Warrior within is my favorite for the reason u dont like it
    interconnected open world (and good at that like 1st half of DS)
    better combat with depth
    harder fights
    and i was a teen on my 1st playthrough so didn't mind the edge
    and it looks most distinct imo from the trilogy

    I remember the section in WW where your weapon broke and you had no second weapon. You were supposed to just run from everything but i ran into first one enemy in a tight corridor. I kept wall leaping attack it until it dies and i got the second hand weapon. It made whatever came after easy. I only realized later i can just run away from everything until my broken main weapon got replaced. I love the trilogy.

      I played Prince of Persia sands of time , it’s a good game all tho it does need some improvements, I started playing warriors within and I was disappointed, this game has a lack of puzzles solving compared to the first game , the 2nd game does have the great platforming and action from the first game but where the hell are the puzzles in the game !!!!?????? It focuses too much on action and platforming but without the puzzle solving mixed into it. Like the first game had a focus on platforming, action and puzzles solving but now it seems like the 2nd game abandons puzzle solving. This made me drop the game , like if ur going to try to improve from the first game then why drop a very fun gameplay element that might make me like this game less than the first game???? So I’m just wondering if warriors within is still worth continuing playing the game , like does it get better , will have it puzzles later on or do I have accept this new gameplay style??

  • @CharlesOwens04
    @CharlesOwens04 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I remember playing Warrior Within on the original Xbox, and I got to this part where there's supposed to be a cutscene where the Dahaka or whatever breaks a wall open for you to go through. I didn't trigger the cutscene or know that it existed, so I was just running around this level confused as shit til I fell off something and died. When I came back, I respawned as a floating head with my sword and dagger. I popped a VHS into my TV (yeah, I'm fuckin' old), and recorded the glitch to keep. Then I died and respawned as the prince in his sand form or whatever, which I had not seen in the game, so that was jarring and most deffinatly recorded on that VHS, as well. Good times.

    WW: if it's unblockable, it's dodgeable.
    (Shadi's double sword impale, the griffin's dark pulse)
    And did you know the charged sandblast works amazingly against the Griffin?
    It's not a slow clunky fight when you know that, and the Sand Wraith is built to dish out that attack often.
    Warrior Within is fair in every combat scenario and trap puzzle with only one outlier: the Empress might teleport while you hang from the ledge, and you can't finish the fight to get the crappy ending (but you should be fighting the Dahaka instead)
