Stylistic shoutout for SFIV from new Prince of Persia creative director

In the latest issue of Edge, the UK’s highbrow games mag, the creative director of the next Prince of Persia game name checks Street Fighter IV as a reference point for their design. Ubisoft Montreal’s Jean-Christophe Guyot told Edge:

“In terms of style, we know we’re on the right track when you consider something like the new Street Fighter.”

Additionally, Edge reveals that art influences on the new PoP include the aforementioned SFIV, Princess Mononoke, first-person running/hopping/climbing game Mirror’s Edge and everyone’s favorite lupine painter, Okami. Not bad company, really. For the record, we’re looking forward to playing the next Prince of Persia game!
