| Kenryoku_Maxis said: @cr00mz the difference between Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed is Prince of Persia focuses almost exclusively on the puzzle solving and action side, while Assassins Creed focuses more on the 'three' key elements (item progression, platforming and free roaming). Yes, you can say Prince of Persia also had platforming and technically had free roaming, though a lot of times previous areas were closed off or not necessary to revisit. And Prince of Persia focused more on combining platforming with puzzles. |
I dont understand how you can call Assassin's Creed focused on item progression and Prince of Persia is not. The biggest differnece between their pickups is that the ones in Prince of Persia are actually needed to complete the game. In assassin's Creed they are not.
How does the bolded part also not fit Assassin's Creed? Again i havent played assassins creed for almost 2 years so i might not remember everything correctly.
But wasnt it that you started in Masyaf, and were only limited to that place until you progressed the story further. I think Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem were all closed off until progressing far enough into the game that they become unlocked?
In prince of persia, several if not all of the locations are pretty much closed off, untill you trigger that cut-scene that eventually opens up the game. And you are basically free to do the "mission", which is more freer (is that a word) than Assassin's Creed, in any order you want. Several of the locations are closed off until you can get those powers that let you progress through the story.
I wouldt exactly call the puzzles in prince of persia complex, they are pretty simple
Yes prince of persia focuses more on puzzles than Assassin's Creed, but didn't you say that Muramasa was a sort of "next evolution" of metroid-like game? a new style, wouldnt Prince of Persia fit into that category? It doesnt follow the metroid-style exactly but neither does muramasa
also i dont understand your comment about Resident Evil having platforming aspects. I've never finished a resident evil games (besides 4) but i have never heard of platforming in that series.
