Inspiration from the original Prince of Persia?

[rpmaia]

I mean, for those who know the original Prince of Persia from the 80's, it seems really familiar: the prisoner trying to escape the dungeons, having to get the weapons for it first, the super fluid movements (well, PoP HAD super fuid movementos for its time), filling health through flasks, and even the way the character exits the level through the doors.

Put a princess in distress in there and you have a XXI century Prince of Persia :) Well, maybe the character IS the princess in distress!

That's the vibe I got as well.

Warning: old man gibberish ahead:

Before Android and iOS, a lot of phones ran on java-based operating system, some pc games around their launch had java version of these game released. Good example is Prince of Persia 2: Warrior Within - it is 2D metroidvania, swordfighting, wallrunning, pit-avoiding game.

One of the reasons I bought DC is nostalgia trap.

Also, Gameloft (PoP2 dev) and Motion Twins are both based in France. Coincidence? I think not. Motion Twins = ex-GL devs confirmed. I'll go now...

But are we talking about Prince of Persia 2 - Warrior Within, or Prince of Persia 2 - The Shadow and The Flame? :)

What really triggered me was the animation of DC's character exiting the biomes, it's so much like the original PoP, the door and the stairs exiting, seen in the video at 3:50. Ah, well....

The first Prince of Persia was a strong influence at the beginning :)

Nice you noticed the small details!

Ahhh, great to know :D Yeah, the first PoP was basically the only game I played at the time, so it does make sense that DC is now basically the only game I play. Thanks for the heads up!
