Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
New Prince of Persia Announced for May '10, Returns to Sands of Time Storyline

Yes they do (at least the trilogy version does). They work just fine with the 360 gamepad and probably others (although I haven't tested).
Getting the textures and FMVs up to HD quality would take up some extra space, though.
Do these type of collections usually see texture upgrades?
I played them all with a keyboard, anyway :rotate:
That is the greatest news. Even if their current protection stuff is annoying, at least it didn't flip out and not let you play the game for no apparent reason, and make installing the game impossible.
Proven by AC2.
"Ugh I hate these awkward moments."
"It's a fight peso! So fight!" (I don't actually know what he's saying in italian there, it sounds like peso. Does anyone know the proper word? edit: I think it might be pezzo from pezzo di merda? just had a quick google fu)
"Come on, metal man!"
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
He usually says this when nobody is attacking him.
Taunts are the best. Every game should have taunts.
If taunts were the next regenerating health, I'd be pretty stoked.

Do you mean as the latest thing to get forced into every game ever, or that taunting should actually regenerate health? If it's the latter, it would be awesome.
Could also make for some good comebacks from critical health:
*with next to no life left* "Come on, not good enough to kill me properly?" *second wind!*
But it will have the Gears reloading mechanic, so if you fail you'll just say "Oh yeah? Well... your FACE!"
I generally use my PS2 controller via usb adapter on my PC but this game doesn't recognize it at all.
I have xpadder but it's not very intutive so I'm curious if there's anyone around these parts who have a profile set up to use with a PS2 (or 3) controller with Xpadder for this game. Google didn't help, all the profiles were for 360 controllers.
EDIT: I worked out my own that's good enough. Nevermind.
I'd suggest CDWOW but they haven't listed it yet. They've got free shipping so are a pretty good option. Otherwise, I'd suggest DVD Crave.
I mean, it doesn't bother me given that I live in England, but it seems like an odd decision. The U.S. market is a massive gaming market, so that's a lot of potential profit that isn't being tapped.
I assume that it's something to do with licensing issues, but I haven't found anything on it. I was wondering if anyone out there knows the answer?
As it is, I don't expect it to sell too well over here on launch, 'cause there are way too many bigger names floating around, it's going to get lost in the crowd. I'm not arguing, but I think releasing in January or February would work better for them.
I assume everyone's seen this?

People have been crapping on about how it looks but the only thing I think looks noticeably bad is the framerate. On the other hand, the textures are far better and the widescreen looks nice.
Pity it sounds like they ported the PS2 versions though but at least the PoP's were generally fairly even across all systems (outside of the originals packaged on the Xbox disc). If they do the same crap with the Splinter Cell Collection, I doubt many people will be going near it.
Edit:
You can get it for £21.54, and they charge £2.35 for international delivery. So £23.88 ~ $38.48 delivered
You need to use a coupon, and instruction on how to get one are linked here.
Considering you can just buy the already superior PC versions and play them in HD (most likely cheaper at that), I'd say this is a pretty unoptimal package.
Is there anywhere to get them for not rapey prices on PC? Steam is asking 27 for all 3, which is a LOT.

$7 shipped, runs fine on 64-bit Win7. The trilogy release removed Starforce from Two Thrones as well as updated all 3 to ensure gamepad support (at least with a 360 controller). I haven't tested yet, but the games are also listed as supported with the universal widescreen patch (SoT/WW don't come with native support).
Well, it's $15 from Amazon proper.
Edit: apparently the widescreen thing just cuts off the vertical image, no so true widescreen in SoT and WW.
Sony Santa Monica had no involvement in the GoW Collection, BluePoint Games (the developers of Blast Factor) were the ones that ported it over only like 4 or 5 months. And I wouldn't say the PoP Trilogy is as good as the job BluePoint did, since the GoW Collection ran at a steady 60fps, while the PoP Trilogy looks like it has a pretty variable one.

Playing the PoP's on keyboard and mouse is not something that appeals to me, since it doesn't even support USB gamepads. Plus, the PC version doesn't have the same improved textures. Trophies are nice too.

This is like the 5th time in this thread I've had to clarify this.
