God Of War Stole Players Away From Prince Of Persia Says Ubisoft

Kratos is not only a god slayer, apparently. He’s also a thief who stole players away from the Prince of Persia franchise and hauled them to God of War, contends Ubisoft.

“When we make questionnaires and we ask, ‘what did you play in the past?’ The answer’s ‘Prince of Persia’. ‘What do you play now?’ ‘God of War’. ‘Would you play Prince of Persia again?’ ‘No, it’s not hard enough’,: Jan-Erik Sjovall, animation director at Ubisoft told CVG.

“So the idea [with Forgotten Sands] was clearly that we’d try to bring our old audience back, but also we’re winning a new audience.

A lot of people ask, ‘will you have gore in the game?’ It’d fairly interesting. We want to have interesting fight sequences in there but not indulge in the violence like God of War does.

We want to keep it interesting so the acrobatics, the story, and the whole look are all supporting each other and people go, ‘yeah, I want to play that game’.”

The game goes on sale on May 18th and 20th in the US and Europe respectively. Ubisoft and GameStop announced at pre-order bonus earlier today.

Kratos is one bad man is he not?

that is one of the worst excuses ever, Ubisoft is a company that produces average if not mediocre games, If you want the people to play your games then make better ones and stop with the excuses, actions speak louder than words.
