Prince of Persia Classic on PC | Forums

[sanceman]

Hey everyone!

Now that a new game is on the way, I thought I just bring back one of my biggest wishes about PoP in a poll.

Prince of Persia Classic looks awesome! As you may know, it's the remake of the original concept of PoP from 1989. The one problem with this title is that it was never released on PC. I think I'm not the only PC gamer who wants to play this on PC, and I'm sure it'd be a success if I think about the people who are still playing the original game.

Will Ubi ever release this great game?

Do you PoP fans want it on PC? Please vote.

Oh, and here's a trailer to watch:

POP Classic is a XboxArcade exclusive. they will probably never going to remake it again.

Last year it was released on PS3, so right now it's basically a multiplatfrom title. I don't see anything against the possibility of a PC release.

but that's because Xbox and Playstation are competitors. they wouldn't let one of them with a lead, so they made for PS3 too

The point is that it's not XBLA Exclusive. It looks like it's the same situation as with the Epilogue DLC: console gamers get the stuff, PC dudes get ****.

it used to be. and you know about their wars. There are many remake and original games that are only released in Xbox and Playstation.

Yes, it was a timed exclusive title, but now it's not. Also keep in mind that the PC market is pretty small compared to the consoles, so releasing a PC version of PoP Classic two or three years after the original release date would not damage the console sales, it'd be just some extra money for Ubisoft.

I doubt that Ubi would get many sales. people would start pirating the game and they'd get it for free. do you think people want to pay for a 1989 remake game when they can just simply get it for free?

Fans would not pay 5-10 bucks for the remake of one of the most successful PC games of its time? I highly doubt that, just look at Serious Sam HD.

On the other hand I was curious and made a Google search, and I've found the X360 version on a warez site.
