[Furyo]

..and the first reviews roll in, with IGN giving the game a 9.3 today:

The game will be hitting store shelves next week

Looks superb. I've watched a video review of it on gametrailers and the game looked very smooth gameplay-wise. I won't comment much on the art from the low rez-video, but it looked epic and amazing even then.

Is it coming out on PCs as well?

[Furyo]

It's coming out on PC and Steam Dec. 10th, the consoles get it a week earlier, next tuesday in the US and thursday in Europe.

IGN UK gave it a 9.4, and OPM gives it an 8/10 and "action/adventure game of the year"

I designed 5 different maps in the Ruined Citadel region, the one mostly shown with the Hunter boss and E3 demo. Scripted 3 maps too.

Wow, impressive artistic style. I thought this comment from the IGN video review described it nicely:

Playing Prince of Persia is like running through a water colour painting

Congrats Furyo, you've sold me.

I will buy this game.

I'm very very curious about how in the world they achieve this unique visual style!

Does anyone have an article, video, anything about this?

You know, I was talking to an artist this morning about art styles. I've predicted since seeing Mirrors edge ages ago, that the overused grunge look will be replaced by a clean modern one. It's funny how most developers follow a trend and that it changes every now and then.

That's an interesting observation. I wonder if it's the developers, the players, or a combination of both that drive these trends?

In some respects it makes sense, no different to trends or movements in art, fashion and music culture.

survival of the fittest: whatever style is more popular stays. if another one is tried, it's tried against its own survival. e.g. the modern style of mirror's edge might not prevail because people don't like it. over time, the prejudice of people seems to fade, the intial reaction is always the strongest.

This trailer was interesting and painful to watch at the same time!

"...and in SANDALS! "

The headline got it right.
