Some thoughts on the new Prince of Persia E3 trailer:
...Am I the only one who thinks it kinda looks like Ico as developed by Square-Enix? Seriously, look at it. Nimble hero with flappy tunic and ethereal lady side-kick dressed in white with added unnecessary costume bits.
Which is not to say I don't like it. No indeed. I sort of want to lick it a little bit, actually. Ladies and gentlemen, we appear to have achieved genuinely beautiful cel-shading!
Fawning out of the way, Ubisoft, you guys had better really sell the relationship between the Prince and Elika. I fucking mean this, Partner AI has apparently become the hip new thing and not a whole lot of games have gotten it right due to the fact that they don't make the Partner someone you want to be partnered with. Farah was awesome - for the first game, at least - and I expect you to live up to the example set by a game that was released five goddamn years ago.
No, I haven't gotten over Assassin's Creed yet. Thank you for asking.
Sigur Ros, huh? Neat! Now can somebody please tell me which song it is? ...Yes, I admit to being a sucker for ludicrously graceful violence set to pretty music. Don't judge me.

Anyway, according to my research, the song is called "Saeglopur", only with more acccents, and possibly an umlaut or something. Here!

I DO IT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, BACO! I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOU, BUT YOU'RE-
-er, well, it was pretty, wasn't it? Pretty is nice!
Thank you very much! I will play this to death on my iPod. It's interesting how Ubisoft use music in some of their trailers - sometime I oughta to squee about the choice of Unkle's Lonely Soul for Assassin's Creed. I hope they keep it up.
