Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Trilogy

[sabbey]

I got mine at Amazon.com for less than $9, also got free shipping since I ordered HAWX along with it. All in all, the first 2 games seem to match the original US releases though noticed one of the early cutscenes (the first after the first boss fight on the boat) on Warrior Within had some weird graphical glitches for a second or two I don't recall on my CD copy of the game...

I haven't played T2T yet, though I'd hope it's uncensored. BTW I can post again if you like once I start playing the third game in a few days!

EDIT: BTW, I just checked the cutscene with RADTools and had to use another program to extract them to the desktop to view the file, but whatever is causing the compression artifacts for those couple of seconds was not on the file itself. Call me confused! Perhaps it's because this is a widescreen monitor, but not using a widesceen resolution? Oh well, hopefully the rest will play fine regardless!

I don't know what's up with you cutscenes, but I would really appreciate if you will report back on the Two Thrones Censorship issue (it's pretty easy to know if it's uncensored, if you can chop heads and limbs off it's uncensored and btw. in the Censored version it looks really stupid when nothing get's chopped off as the prince is still able to do those moves.

Ps. I tried to buy it on Amazon.com for 9.99$ but to my surprise they won't deal with me because I'm Danish (Amazon tells me to go the uk site, but they don't have the us version).
So much for free trading for private customers....

It's only one of the cutscenes so far and it works perfectly playing the file itself, regardless, I will checkout T2T today...

EDIT: I just played a bit of the first area and there's plenty of blood, but haven't notice any decapitations yet. If I see them later when I come back after finishing Warrior Within, I'll let you know though.

AFAIK, the exe is what contains the censoring. There was a big hoopla when Reloaded released the original nocd and it was found to censor the USA version. So, it should be possible for someone to make a nocd out of the USA trilogy version of T2T and then every version would be able to be played uncensored.

I agree, but making such an .exe file isn't exactly as easy as baking a cake, so I'm not gonna get my hopes up

If it really is just a simple CD check, then it is almost as easy as baking a cake when compared to trying to remove something like Starforce. Unfortunately, I don't have any baking skills, either. So, let's hope someone that does take up the project.

Anyway, I am over an hour into the game and no decaps, must be censored then...

A good way to know for sure is to do a weapon steal. When the enemy turns gold (meaning almost dead), do a jump over (button 4), then weapon steal (button 5). In the uncensored version, you get a decap. In the censored version, the enemy falls over in an unconvincing manner.

Any update on this? I'm thinking of getting this package too, but I want to know if you can get it uncensored first...

[sabbey]

I never got any decaps, so I am guessing no!

Crap. :-(
