Ubisoft seems to have developed a curious habit of scoring their trailers with relatively obscure pop-songs. Kinda works though.

I still like the overall aesthetic, except that the style of movement (especially in combat) seems more Final Fantasy than Prince of Persia, but I think the game is trying too hard to be Okami and both main characters seem much too Western. The fact that they also seem to be using Elika as a tool for lots of handholding makes me worry that even the fun of figuring out how to traverse environments will be lost.

Prince of Persia needed a reboot after the last two games, but this is not it for me. I guess you need Mechner to do a true PoP game.
