PS3 Memory Issues
PS3 Memory Issues

How we handle memory is really different between the two machines and we're struggling right now on the PS3.
Only a month from launch?

1@Joe80,
It's seen as the spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia "Sands of Time" trilogy...AMAZING platformers that were very fun to play. I think that people are looking forward to having the ability to tackle missions in a non-linear fashion and being able to explore an ancient city. Plus the AI was very impressive in early demos (blending in with NPCs, crowd reaction to what you do, etc).
Unfortunately, it'll likely end up being a game that gets rave reviews but won't sell extremely well.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

1@welshbloke,
I never had much interest in this game, even now, I did not understand why everyone loves it so much. However, I don't think it's overhyped in general. While the SE predictions for lifetime sales of the 360 and PS3 versions both appear to be pretty accurate. Though I could see a potential for the game to not turn out as good as it is hyped to be. Only time will tell.[ Oracle ] [ Level 26 ] [ Rank: 241 ]bids

RE: PS3 Memory IssuesOr produce different DVDs for different regions as the problem seems to be with locales and in which case as the 360 is region locked should make this not to difficult although the only reason this appears to be an issue is that the PS3 has a Blu Ray drive.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids
1Sony should probably continue to try and reduce the amount of memory their OS requires. Also of note in your article was that they're having issues trying to get the game on 1 DVD for 360. They'll probably compress stuff so they can avoid 2 DVDs.[ Oracle ] [ Level 26 ] [ Rank: 241 ]bids

Ya I am fully aware of its heritage. I bought Sands of Time the day it released, but never played it for more than a few hours, not because I didn't like it (I always had feelings for PoP the original, and loved Out of this World (Another World in EU) & Flashback, and a little Abes Oddysey, but because I had other games I wanted to play.
The whole interaction with NPC's didn't win me over, though it is good. I was looking for more about the game as a whole, and it was the platforming and NPCs that I always heard about. And they always showed how great it was running around and through NPCs in the environment, but I was looking for how much further that goes and never saw them elaborate. Though I probably should take a look at the most recent videos I gander.
Is it Jerusalem that is the city in the game? I heard it's completely modeled on how it actually was back then.
I'm waiting for reviews, not just the scores, but what they say about the game. I'll get it when its price is reduced, not because its "bad" or anything, but because other games interest me more.
