Cancelled Prince of Persia reboot video surfaces on YouTube
- Thread starter Chunchun
- Start date
I was thinking it looked like God of War and Uncharteds love child
An we all know games come into existence in their entirety on release date.
the time dodge/warp thing looks neat, everything else looks like it was chasing Uncharted spectacle too much for its own good
It feels like every few years there's a secret POP revival that never quite gets off the ground.
Makes me want to snoop around Youtube for more videos... if not for the annoying piano teaching ads spamming it, I would 😂

Except they already did that with Forgotten Sands. I don't blame anyone forgetting about that bang average game though.
Totally would revisit it for the platinum though.
Looks a lot like Assassin's Creed, clearly reusing a lot from it even, but I think it looks distinct enough from AC to be it's own thing, the Prince himself looks a bit generic.
Also, in 2012 Ubisoft was likely already getting ready for current gen consoles, those graphics look like something from 2009 or so. Maybe they were considering after the first AC but then came AC2 being a more successful game and it was just not worthy to continue with PoP.

Assasin's Creed has been doing "run through the city being destroyed" sequences a lot. Outside of Rogue, AC3 had it, Black Flag, Origins too.
And forget AC -- PoP itself has been doing it -- Two Thrones and Forgotten Sands start the exact same way.

I like the changes they made to the rewind feature, and the graphics were pretty good for 2012.
All brown and grey.
Yep, that's definitely a last gen game.
Total opposite to the 2008 game lol

the pointless shit some of yall double down on lmao. what reason is there to try and defend your slim chance hypothetical of an exec going "this linear action game is too vaguely similar to an open world game that wont even be publicly announced until next year"
Cause it is, this is 100% a target render for executives.

“Wow - haven't seen this in ages. Amazing work from animation director Khai Nguyen (For Honor) and team. This target game footage (pre-rendered game pitch) inspired our own pitch for Assassin's Creed 3 as they did such a great job making it look like real gameplay. https://t.co/U9cy7v4fNp”

Looked pretty cool. Through a 2020 lens it's a bit meh, but I would've been all over this in 2012.
Hope if they do revive it now though, it isn't in a Uncharted / God of War mash-up direction.

It's interesting that he mentions ACIII, because the first I thought is how much this looks like the famous Charlestown under siege scene from that game (although this video is pretty uninteresting way to play that mission):Jonathan Cooper on Twitter

A similar scene is on Rogue as well.
I'm sad Prince of Persia had to die for 1000 Assassins Creed games.
Like could we have 999 Assassins Creed games and 1 Prince of Persia?

The date shown on any Youtube video is the date it was first made public. It's possible the video was made public, changed to unlisted, and then back to public again, but it must have been set to public back in 2012.
Interesting. So not even real gameplay but a pre rendered target already was doing the piss filter, hah. How much damage it did...
Game could have been cool if properly realized. Obvious Ass Creed references as well as Gow + Uncharted with sands of time vibes.
Kinda blows my mind that this video's been on the Internet ever since early 2012, just a few months after the Assassin's Creed 2 trilogy wrapped.
What are you talking about hahaha
the first gameplay trailer was on Jan 2014. that would have been the first time the gameplay loop was published to the public and the first time Ubisoft would have seen it. there are no.. "universal Execs" that make judgements game industry wide on what to cancel or not. Ubisoft has no clue what monolith works on, or vice versa until the public sees it. It is not how it works. we don't get sneak previews on other projects from other developers.
This trailer was posted on march 1st 2012, and most likely was already a few months old at this point in time, shadow of mordor started development late 2011.. so that leaves a rough 3 to 6 months of development time. your timeline makes no sense.
heck if you look at the linkedin page of the 3d level artist who worked on it from 2010 to 2011, which strongly hints at the game being cancelled somewhere closely in or around 2011.. so the game was most likely cancelled before shadow of mordor even begun development.
It's funny how the success of the mechanics in Prince of Persia are responsible for the birth of Assassin's Creed, and the success of Assassin's Creed is responsible for the death of Prince of Persia.
And by "funny" I mean "a damn shame."
I would love a remaster of Sands of Time. Just yank assets out of AC Odyssey and For Honor, I don't care. I just want something that runs on modern hardware.

So since this seemed to inspire AC 3.
Is it fair to say this inspired or was AC Origins?

First Look at a Brand New Prince of Persia Reboot?
This image is reportedly our first look at a brand new Prince of Persia game. It was posted by a user on Ubisoft's official forums, and down the bottom you can see the term POP_ZERO_2.

What a crazy story lol. Makes me wonder what else is hidden at plain sight on YouTube all these years.
This probably deserves its own thread, to be honest. Probably the biggest reason why we're not getting Prince of Persia games.
Dang I actually think that looked pretty rad. I'd play it.
Wonder what else is hidden in the depths of Youtube that's gone unnoticed like this haha
