BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.
I cannot believe one of these isn’t beyond good and evil 2. Imagine how soul crushing it would be for the game you are working on to be deemed more trouble than bge2.
I wish fans wouldn’t have reacted this negative in the first reveal of the Remake. I said it before, this will probably lead into cancelling the project and I was right. Even if the graphics didn’t look fantastical good, I would rather played that version over not playing it. I never played Sands of Time and was waiting for this Remake. I’m a bit sad this is the outcome, but was expected (at least by me)…
Mmm stonks is more about shareholders demanding faster returns. This isnt a cut and dry supply and demand thing (markets havent been supply and demand since the stock market started), its shareholder feelings and ai investment shit.
Would love for any of it to have a shred of logic in it, but if games were for gamers and not stockholders IaP wouldn’t exist etc

Ubisoft did the world a favor.
Ubisoft cancelling the literal one game I might have bought from them. OK.
PoP really can’t catch a break from these clowns
The Lost Crown was pretty good though.
It was great, so they dissolved the studio and moved all the incredible talent who worked on it to the money-making franchises
Didn’t do it for me, sadly.

Highly doubt its about user reception, rather that its more about stonks.
And what do you think caused the stonks? The user reception was so bad that they had to pull it back and rework it. It is all about user reception.

That’s gamers for ya. If it’s any consolation, it seems gamers had nothing to do with its troubled development
I’m not talking about the development, but specifically the reception of the first trailer.
Yes I know
