Ubisoft has disbanded the team behind Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. Game did not reach expectations and sequel was refused.

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

We need sands of time, two thrones, I forget the third one remakes.

Those were the last relevant Prince of Persia releases I owned and played even after I beat them.

The rewind always made it more fun.

I was playing Jedi survivor and realized those are basically the same games, structurally speaking.

This is another one I just hadn't gotten to yet. I played the demo, thought it was pretty solid and then put it in the backlog.

 

[SupaHotIce]

Didn't play it yet, but it looked like Ubisoft's only good game since For Honor

First Details on the Remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

The Creative Director and Game Director tell us about the state of the remake, the steps being taken to modernize the Prince and Farah’s adventure, and what players can expect in 2026.

But then we get dozens of threads complaining about how big publishers don’t make original games anymore and they force feed us AAA remakes. So which is it?

After playing silent hill 2 I'm perfectly fine with remakes, idk why in the game industry that's an issue when movies and shows have been doing that for the last 100 years.

But to be honest the fact of the matter is triple A gaming has to go through a period of the old studios that require too much capital and revenue for investors to die out, I think people are lashing out because they look at the biggest devs with desperation because they made up a huge portion of many of our child hoods and people want that magic back but it's not coming back, so we need to support a new industry but I'm throwing words out, idk what the solution is other than to buy games that are developed to be experience vs invested in

Simple, in film I can name you at least 10 great movies that have come out in the past 5 years that were all completely original ip.

Can you do the same with video games? I enjoy remakes as well but there's been literally twenty call of duty games in the last twenty years, final fantasy getting remixed more than "One Blood" in 2006, theres been at least 5 souls games in 10 years & that's not even including all the gay ass souls like ripoffs, I mean come on man. I'm a gamer to the core, I wouldn't be at all shocked if I die with a controller in my hand one day, but even I can't help but notice shyt is trash right now.


But stans will just say I don't like games anymore

Man you took me back to playing gow 1 with one blood playing in the background

But you have a point, and tbh the whole remake thing anyway hasn't ever been this intense so I guess it's a nother fad for the time being. That's why I made my point about a lot of these studios either needing to die or reform. Cause something is up here on a mental level from the community and the devs. They make shytty games too many people buy, good games not enough people buy, shytty games nobody buys, and even good games where people buy enough like hifi rush and things still end up negative, it's like we're in some bizzaro world in the industry , just thinking back to a year like 2006 to now I think that balance we used to have in the market is gone

This is what i keep tellin nikkas

If anything there’s an over saturation of high quality games these days. So much so that people scoff when games get low 80’s/high 70’s like its peasantry

If you wanna start naming obscure ass indie titles then we can talk film festival movies and there'd be at least 100 quality ones in the past 5 years. I'm talking heavy hitters, AAA like the big screen.



I'm saying 10 new smash hits at the box office grossing hundreds of millions, you out here listing Signalis (I agree it was good I just gave up because it was too hard fukk them puzzles). Out of your list I fukk wit ghost of tsushima, Hades, and plague's tale. I might be sleeping on a couple titles but a lot of that bullshyt you named is on gamepass and I tried it, hated it and immediately deleted it.



Motherfukker gonna tell me I don't play games like I don't log literally thousands of hours EVERY YEAR on my Xbox account that can easily be looked up and verified. Just because I'm not a weirdo ass goofy fukk who's name rhymes with Skitzo Cuck doesn't mean I don't play games.


I enjoy indie titles like slay the spire, ring of pain, cassette beasts, the fukkin list goes on and on and on. But again this is about the heavy hitters, and this generation pales in comparison to my day growing up. Dudes talking about we're spoiled now like the PS2/XBOX gen immediately followed by the 360 wasn't the greatest eras of gaming ever. And in those days we didn't have to eat primarily on $200 budget indie games made in somebody's basement, we had legit big budget hits dropping left and right


I really don't get what y'all get out of pretending this generation is greater than it is. Only person with a real incentive to do so is the aforementioned goofy fukk that lives to post 800 times a day about the current state of gaming.

Moving the goalpost from great games to AAAs selling millions. Majors devs aren't gonna gamble with 200M because people don't play games like they used to anymore. You're literally here wondering about 10 new IPs in the last 5 years

Say bruh all's I'm saying is don't try to discredit me as a gamer like I just sit around and only play 2K and Call Of Duty. for some odd reason I take way more offense to that notion than I should.




two things I enjoy most in life is riding my bike and playing vidya games, and while my bike gives me more of a rush, the game was and always will be my first love.




Now back to the discussion, yes I "moved the goalpost" cuz you out here playing cricket when nikkas tryna hoop like I said I like indies as much as the next nerd but you not gonna sit here and tell me a game like Signalis or It Takes Two can fukk with say a RDR2 or Witcher or Divinity or Baldur's Gate or GTA or TLOU or even fukking Spider Man for that matter.



Case in point: it doesn't take a lot of money to make a great game, but it does take a lot of money to make epic shyt like that. You just cannot build worlds like those with a lack of major funding, I'm sorry if this is news to you. There is a space for indie games just like there is a space for film festival bangers, but we need that uncut cocaine stop copping pleas for these hoe ass developers

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

This is all your faults


This comes from the reliable french game journalist "Gautoz" who heard from multiple devs at Ubisoft Montpellier the news.

I bought this game twice this year. Both on Xbox and on PC, both at launch.

 

[Saint1]

This sucks.

I specifically bought a physical copy to support this type of game.

But In all honesty we all knew it wasn't going to sell. It looks cheap and came out at a bad time with not much hype.
