Prince of Persia looks hot

The first screenshots of the new Prince of Persia has just been released, and they look absolutely fantastic. 5 years ago these screens would have passed for concept art. I’m a fan of cel-shaded / stylized games (I played through half of Eternal Sonata despite the boring as hell combat, oh and that reminds me, No More Heroes and Okami are still waiting to be finished), and this illustrative style takes it to a whole new level.

I’m not too sure with seemingly angst-ridden emo prince though. I hated the second PoP (Warrior Within?) game. Here’s hoping for a protagonist that’s at least half as likeable as the one in Sands of Time. More shots at Shacknews.
