Ubisoft hasn’t given up on the Prince of Persia series just yet (despite the fact that Assassin’s Creed is essentially Persia of Persia with a different pair of shoes). There’s the movie with that guy, and the just-announced Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. It’s coming out in May of 2010 for all the usual suspects.
There’s very little concrete information to share. The press release touts “amazing this” and “stupendous that.” It does use the Anvil engine, if that means anything to the more hardcore gamers here.
Pics or GTFO? Pics, then. (Concept art, though.)
And am I the only one who thinks this version of the Prince looks exactly like WWE’s John Morison? I’m not even talking about the hair style, but the face is pretty much the same. I hope Morrison is getting paid.
The Qualcomm FLO TV is slowly taking shape. First we saw early concept art, which was followed by our exlucisive shots of the interface. But the just last week we saw a leaked photo and learned that it was manufactured by HTC. Today though, the retail packaging has been spotted. So…really the only thing left is the actual product announcement, which can’t be that far off. Hopefully.
No, it’s not a physical manifestation of a computer virus. Made by Japanese artist Mio I-zawa, the mechanical tumor serves as the most biological CPU meter ever seen.
Built as a concept art item, the “mechanical tumor” does more then just look pretty. As the computer uses more and more CPU processes, the tumor will shake, inflate, and move to represent the usage. I’m not entirely sure what the practical application of something like this is, but it sure looks creepy. Maybe it’s something that can be used in the sequel to eXistenZ or something.
Info about the Qualcomm FLO TV has been slowly leaking out the last few weeks. First we saw early concept art, then we released the first screenshots, but now it seems Boy Genius has a pic of the real deal. Sure enough, it sports a 4:3-ish screen just like the screenshots indicated. Besides that little tid-bit there isn’t anything else surprise that this pic reveals. We already knew that it was a pocketable FLO TV unit, what did you expect it to look like?
Now all we need to know is the unit price, monthly rate, screen size, battery life, and range of content. Yeah, we really don’t know jack about the upcoming player, eh? More info will probably leak out soon though.
[update] A tipster just dropped us a quick note stating HTC is the actual manufacturer of the portable device and not Qualcomm as many have thought.
