“Memory constraints can easily limit the design of game titles by restricting the use of middleware, and reducing the scope of certain graphics and game play elements,” said Brendan Iribe, co-founder, president and CEO of Scaleform. “Scaleform GFx 3.1 with its ‘LITE’ features gave us the ability to quickly create high-performance, highly immersive UIs while maintaining ultra-fast frame rates.”

“Fans of the Prince of Persia series have come to expect fast action and fluid animation, so keeping a steady frame rate of 60fps on a console like Wii was very important to us,” said Marc Parenteau, the technical director on Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. This further improves the memory usage and the performance of in-game UIs for Wii titles such as Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

In addition to its hardware-accelerated, patent-pending vector graphics technology, the recently released GFx version 3.1 includes a “LITE” build configuration that provides developers with the option for reducing GFx code size up to 30% by selectively disabling non-essential functionality. Scaleform GFx provides the ideal solution for Wii developers. To create compelling in-game UIs that perform well within the memory constraints of Nintendo Wii, Ubisoft turned to Scaleform and its Flash-based GFx technology. The Wii version of the title combines Prince of Persia’s heritage of beautiful, exciting game play with elements that can only be achieved with Wii, such as action designed specifically for Wii controllers. When the decision is made to use the ancient power of the Sand in a desperate gamble to save the kingdom from total annihilation, the Prince will embark on an epic adventure in which he will learn to bear the mantle of true leadership, and discover that great power often comes with a great cost. Visiting his brother's kingdom following his adventure in Azad, the Prince finds the royal palace under siege from a mighty army bent on its destruction. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the next chapter in the fan-favorite Sands of Time universe.

The game takes place between Prince of Persia The Sands of Time and Prince of Persia Warrior Within. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will expand the Prince of Persia universe with a new storyline, the introduction of new characters, and new powers over nature and time.
