Sucker Punch‘s cancelled game: Prophecy

Not a trailer. Vertical Slice, and even then, it's pretty barebones for a vertical slice. This feels more like a proof of concept video.
Ghost of Tsushima is definitely the more interesting looking project here in nearly all ways, but it's a shame that Sucker Punch kinda abandoned verticality in level design almost entirely. Infamous 1 and 2 really feel like successful open-world platformers (it's tremendously fun just to navigate around those cities); Infamous Second Son is less so only insofar as the additional power sets make platforming a completely thoughtless process (and none of them feel as good as the electric grinding stuff from Infamous 1/2), and Ghost of Tsushima has very little platforming at all. It's a shame because Sucker Punch is actually very good at that stuff, and it looks like Prophecy would have had, at least, more of that than GoT has.
We know that it was sci-fi and costed around 100 million before cancellation (so there's the reason lol).
The rumor is that Cory Barlog is doing a new IP now.
For the entire Demo i expected some crazy Magic shit to happen, but it kinda never did. The super advanced Alchemy was the USP i feel like and that didn't hit at all sadly. Don't see The Order Comparisons. That was more interesting in Concept, it just didn't execute it really well.
You can defintely see which ideas carried over to GoT, and Sucker Punch made the right call in the end to go with that game instead of this one. Some of the concepts seem intriguing but would it have been enough to keep players interested?
Sucker Punch are no strangers to sticking to one gritty, dark city as Empire City in the first Infamous was like that. But going with the bright, vibrant nature of Ghost stands out even more, and at the time they started to work on Ghost not too many games tackled Feudal Japan.

They look of comparable quality to the "big" cutscenes in GoT (ie beginning of the game, end of Act 1, etc).
I get what you are trying to say, and do believe you are being legit with your criticism. I think the pushback you are getting however is because those games still do come out. They just aren't really propped up to the forefront like they used to be and maybe not as often. I'm not really gonna get into the list thing here, but they definitely have put out some of those experiences you are talking about and it hasn't all been AAA blockbuster, its just those aren't really the focal point anymore of the marketing.
You should definitely try Astrobot someday though it is a great game.
They've still been making those.
LittleBigPlanet 3, Knack 1 & 2, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Gravity Rush 2, Concrete Genie, Dreams, MediEvil remake, etc. all came out this gen, not to mention stuff on the horizon like Sackboy: A Big Adventure
No wonder why Sony got so few games from its own studios this gen. Sucker Punch, Santa Monica, Bend and Guerrilla had canceled projects... Media Molecule also rebooted Dreams two times before its "final form".
Does Tsushima even have any major settlements or is it all just camps and temples?
Delsin's brother's face model was just 100% Travis Willingham, so yeah. Easy to reuse if you already have him.

Just something a dude had on his website lol.
That's like two cut-scenes, man. Everything else had had the most basic blocking and mocap work.
This comes from the personal site of a character artist at Sucker Punch. The video file itself might have some clues as to when this was made. The filename is
Interestingly, in December of 2015, Sony Worldwide Studios Game Development Head Scott Rohde said this about Sucker Punch's next project:
If the "Media Created" date is accurate, he may have played this.
Also, the artist uploaded a handful of renders to his site as well. There's the main character (who might be named Abel according to one of the file names):
Also, monsters:
vertcle_slice_v46f_0115, which implies that this is a vertical slice and might give us a date. "0115" could be January 2015 or January 15th of some year. The latter is backed up by the "Media Created" tag in the file which says it was created January 15th, 2016. Sucker Punch's last game before Ghosts of Tsushima was Infamous: First Light which came out in late August 2014. Games usually go gold about a month before release, so let's say late July, early August. Sucker Punch has mentioned experimenting with multiple pitches before landing on Ghosts of Tsushima. This is likely one.

Yeah I think this suffered a lot of timing problems. They started developing after Second son right? back in 2014-15 people were very burned out of assassins creed. Not to mention The Order flopped. I can understand why the higher ups decided to cancel it.
I bet it sucks for the artists, its a shame it got canceled. I'm glad we got tsushima tho.

Right but I'm just saying the ones here aren't better and we don't know if we would have that much more of it. It's like judging GoT's performance capture based on the official trailers that just showcase the major scenes where all of the budget went.
Damn, someone please leak a vertical slice of THAT.

Oozer thats a great post, thank a lot.

Not exactly canceled, but they worked on another project before Horizon for at least six months.
Oh boy, whole website is dead. Hope the guy isn't in too much troubleSeems the source was 4chan.

That is normal, they went back to Horizon before that game even come in to production and that was before the release of Killzone.
SSM canceled a game after 4 years and sukcer punch has problably 12 to 24 months already in this project.
Looked like any number of Fantasy novels - sort of steampunk with light magic to uncover a secret deep under the once-great city. Could have been interesting.
It was mentioned already , the issue is with the embedded vido in the OP. Just open it in another tab
I definitely do want to play Astrobot at some point! Maybe if PSVR 2 on PS5 (if that even exists) treats my motion sickness any better, or there's a non-VR version, I'll check it out!
Video is unavailable even on Youtube, but the other link works.

damn, I even played the video in my browser before I posted this lol, I just went back to the beginning but I had already had it open.
sorry!
I was SURE that Sucker Punch had many problems developing their next game. Ghost of Tsushima is too barebones and unpolished for an Sony 1st Party. Seems like they were rushing.
I like Tsushima, pretty fun combat and pretty game. But characters and narrative are subpar.

Imagine wanting a studio to "strike out" because you assume they are strictly copying Assassin's Creed despite Sucker Punch making games BEFORE AC existed about climbing up and sneaking around buildings...
