I REALLY hope they'll do a Warrior Within movie! Now that was a frickin fantastic game, one of my favs TBH.

It'd look good on the big screen if done right :yes:

i think they've mixed elements from the first 2 games together a bit if you watch the trailer carefully, i dont want to give away anything with spoilers. (or maybe i'm just seeing things)

just remembering back to playing sands of time and warrior within makes me want to play rival swords/two thrones even though i heard it wasnt as good as the previous installments

The trailer looks good. I think it'll be a fun, entertaining summer blockbuster and it looks like it's keeping the feel of the game, Sands of Time.

I just have one question though; Why for being called the "Prince of PERSIA" do many characters, including said Prince, seem to have English accents?

For the same reason foreign characters speak English and aliens speak English [in movies]: people don't like to read subtitles.

I have a feeling it's going to be a flop. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't look Persian at ALL and the girl doesn't seem adequate for the role as well. If you are making a movie about Prince of "Persia", you'd expect the actors to at least look like someone from that time and land.

Avatar on the other hand looks to be EPIC.

Yeah but subtitles aside you can put on the accent without speaking the language. Well...Some actors can anyways.

Ah well. It is what it is and PoP is a Jerry Bruckheimer produced summer blockbuster. It could be worse - It could be a Michael Bay produced or directed film. Then instead of British accents we'd be getting American ones and a product placement every five seconds.

I actually hate the fake accents most of the time. And I would be mad if I had to endure arabic and indian accent in the entire movie. Its much more sensible to go with the original accents of the actors/market for which the movie is being made that is UK or US.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
