Next Persian Prince to be cell-shaded


The next Price of Persia game will be using Anvil, the same graphics engine that powered Assassin's Creed. Don't jump for joy quiet yet, because it's not going to look anything like AC. Instead, this particular Prince from Persia will be cell-shaded.

Personally, many of us here at the Big D like the cell-shaded look. It was used to incredible effect in Ubisoft's 2003 FPS, XIII. The upcoming superhero MMO from Cryptic Studios, Champions Online, will be using it -- and it looks fantastic. Seed, the MMO that was DOA, used it too, but the majority of people never got to see how incredibly cool cell-shaded graphics can be.

We weren't sure whether this very unique look is what the Prince needed until we saw screen shots on the French game site, Progamers (which were taken from the gaming magazine, Joypad). We're convinced.
