Cancelled Prince of Persia reboot video surfaces on YouTube

looks amazing. i love how publishers always cancel the best looking games and release boring mediocre games instead.
Everything looked scripted and simplistic. Might as well just watch a movie.
The game may have been real, but that video is typical ubisoft bullshot. Reminds me of the watch dogs reveal and several others. While it may have turned out as a decent god of war take on pop. It would never have played that smooth or looked that good.
My friend shared the video with me 4-5 years ago (do not remember exact date) but he explicitly stated that this games was cancelled so that Ubi can do the AC game.I remember as he is a huge Nintendo fan and considers the AC games non games and in his opinion this would have been an better game than AC :). It is the exact same video if I have to be honest.
The video is on youtube since 2012 but the tech demo of the games is quite older than that.

Yep i want new Prince of Persia, but not Uncharted edition with predictable set-pieces and piss easy platforming.
Looked like it could have been pretty damn good.
Not a fan of the prince's design though, he looked very generic compared to some of the previous games.

Watching this and remembering Jordan Mechner's original side by side gives me genuine chuckles.
This looked fun
Hopefully we'll get some news for a new game in light of that domain listing recently

Its source is a Gematsu article whose source is this thread and which does not say that lol
That wiki quote also says it's gameplay, which it is obviously not. I'm sure someone will correct it.
Wow does that look horribly generic compared to Sands of Time and the 2008 reboot. Combat looks fine, and looks like some decent gameplay elements, but boy oh boy if the series ever gets revived, I REALLY hope this isn't the kind of art style we have to look forward to. More color and inspired character designs please.
I mean there's a tweet from a Ubisoft worker stating it inspired AC3, so either you or your friend are probably just misremembering the details.
Other than the generic main character, that actually looked fucking great. Damn, I wish we still had Prince of Persia games.
I'm guessing the the general public were never meant to see this but someone's decided to change the privacy settings now to generate some PoP hype along with all the other bits of PoP news we've been getting recently.
I'd love some more Sands of Time Prince. Even with some of the iffy design decisions I still loved all the games.

I feel this was already known, or atleast a "non-secret"
Ubisoft would have to pay licencing fees for PoP. Thats why AC became their flagship.
Ok so I just watched the video.
That looked fuckin sick. I would have been so down for this. Why it get cancelled?

The polish and technology of that slice is impressive, but I think the bombastic God of War/Uncharted style spectacle is really out of line with the franchise's identity to the extent it's a poor fit.
And it is a pre-rendered demo, is there a possibility that the video is older than you might think? Of course they could have used it for AC3 inspiration but no where in the tweet the dev states when it was made.
wow that looked great.
I've definitely worked on a few fake gameplay videos for pitches, this totally seems like an internal gameplay concept video, I doubt they made more than this one video.

if this was like 2007, dont you think itd be weird that nobody else at ubisoft for five years decided to do prerendered vertical slices? dont you think its a little unlikely ubisoft managed to predict an entire wave of games like uncharted but randomly didnt capitalize on it? or how it looks nothing like the other leaked footage from the pop game that became ac?
