Det kan være en svær balancegang at lave en remake af en højtelsket klassiker. På den ene side skal spillet være tro mod originalen, men samtidigt skal spillet også opdateres, så det ikke virker til at sidde fast i fortiden.
Præcist denne snævre balancegang forsøger Ubisoft at komme helskindet igennem med deres Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Det fortæller spillets game director Pierre-Sylvain Gires i et interview med Gamingbolt.
"We stuck to the plot and storyline of original game. However, we made changes to the gameplay and reworked on all the cinematics. When it comes to gameplay, we focused on the 3 Cs- camera, controls, and combat. We reworked on the camera system and enhanced it. We improved the combat by introducing the multi-targeting system. We also added more acrobatic moves to the Prince. To sum it up, we have remained faithful to the original version but made improvements to modernize the game."
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake udkommer d. 21 januar til PS4, Xbox One og PC. Der er ikke planlagt versioner til de nye konsoller, men der har dog været rygter om en Switch-version.
