Since we won’t be getting the remake promised by Ubisoft, fans nostalgic for the superb Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time can count on GOG, which has just added the cult classic to its preservation program, making it more enjoyable to play on modern systems. 16:9 and widescreen displays are now supported, with scaling options that preserve the game’s correct vertical aspect ratio; you can choose different frame rates, and a new overlay even lets you adjust the FOV if you’d like. However, there are still a few quirks here and there, notably the very brief pixelation effect when the camera changes zoom levels (such as when switching to the distant camera angle, or when the prince starts drinking the water at his feet, for example), but the game is still just as fun to control despite its age, and revisiting it is a real pleasure.
