Prince of Persia Q&A
Prince of Persia Producer Ben Mattes is an interview about the now-gold
platformer, learning among other things, their rationale for rebooting the
franchise: "Because it was time. If we had continued to use the same gameplay
mechanics or the same core story, the uniqueness would’ve died out. There are
car racing video games out there with the rewind mechanic in them now. There are
certain mechanics that were perhaps initially very unique and distinct about
Prince of Persia that have lost some of their “tangy lemon flavor” because a lot
of other people have adopted those mechanics. We had other stories to tell and
other mechanics that we wanted to explore and other avenues and directions to
push the game. So, I think it was exactly the right time to introduce some new
characters, some new mechanics and some new life into the franchise and the
universe of Prince of Persia."
