Probably Assassins Creed 5.

Wario64 · Apr 15, 2013

This looks cool but strange at the same time? I dunno.

Salsa · Apr 15, 2013

as far as I know they're working with Konami as a publisher but there's no fucking way that game is NOT a prince of persia game..

so yeah, I dont know

Jawmuncher · Apr 15, 2013

Does Ubisoft outsource anything?
But yeah that just screams PoP to me though.

Steverulez · Apr 15, 2013

Looks like it might an XBLA/PSN sort of game.

Tenki · Apr 15, 2013

Prince of Persia x DmC

-GJ- · Apr 15, 2013

I don't know how I should feel about this. It's probably good that they've outsourced it.

they outsourced handheld games

that's some bullshot if this is Vita

then again some textures look pretty low res

The Praiseworthy · Apr 15, 2013

I really need a new POP game.... can't believe we only got 2 this generation, one with killed sequel and one was mediocre -_-"

Kifimbo · Apr 15, 2013

Ubisoft usually doesn't let external studios work on their franchises.

Nothing on there is that impressive.

My exact thought. It looks cartoonish, part 2D (?), yet also a bit dark.

Salsa · Apr 15, 2013

Dragonzord said:

not trying to say that either, but some of the lighting and specially the antialasing makes me think those screens arent really indicative of what a handheld game could look like

so yeah, could be vita but those screens leave me wondering

from the looks of it XBLA/PSN type stuff seems more likely?

SniperHunter · Apr 15, 2013

looks boring

Fezan · Apr 15, 2013

looks like prince of persia SOT series sequel

fritolay · Apr 15, 2013

Of all the games I want remade or a sequel, this is at the bottom of the list.

UrbanRats · Apr 15, 2013

Looks very bust visually, i find it a bit tiring to the eye.

qizah · Apr 15, 2013

Hey, that looks kind of neat.

Liking the art direction.

Takao · Apr 15, 2013

According to Ubisoft this is a Vita game:

The image quality is no where near that good on the real deal.

If this is a PoP game on any platform it would be pretty stupid to post up pictures. Publishers usually don't allow developers to do things like that.

°°ToMmY°° · Apr 15, 2013

Maybe ubi main teams are too busy with ac and watchdogs, so they handed pop to an outside dev.

Although it's improbable climax or ubi would just dump images of a pop game like they did here. It would prolly get a proper announcement.

luffeN · Apr 15, 2013

Could those be the two games CVG hinted at?

Salsa · Apr 15, 2013

Takao said:

the weird thing is that they've told they're working on 2 games for Konami

now the site shows these screens, and other screens for a horror game

so, are these the two games for Konami?

there's little chance both Konami AND Ubisoft allowed them to do this at the same time

are they seriously putting out a new IP for Konami that looks exactly like POP then?

not sure what to think

They do when the franchise becomes low priority (see Might & Magic).

Data West · Apr 15, 2013

Just let me remember the good old days

and to a lesser extent

Fuck your artsy orb collecting simulator and animation priority platformers tho. Hated those.

Shiggy · Apr 15, 2013

Probably just some demo/pitch like this:

HoodWinked · Apr 15, 2013

dat uninspired character art.

BiggNife · Apr 15, 2013

Climax seems to be really inconsistent as a developer but that looks promising.

dancrane212 · Apr 15, 2013

Something about the game looks off, the prince looks...modern?

Still hoping that someday Ubisoft will give PoP 08 another chance.

Globox_82 · Apr 15, 2013

if it is not a sequel to this one http://www.ign.com/games/prince-of-persia/ps3-890665 I don't care.

as in, "we're working on it for someone"

Ingueferroque · Apr 15, 2013

...that looks stupid. Are they trying to be Ubisoft?

They are probably not allowed to announced work for publishers. So self-funded? Is Climax in some financial trouble? Darkworks also announced Black Death when they were out of funding.

Well the images do also say "tech demo".

that's true

hopefully this gets picked up and noticed so we can get some answers

shaowebb · Apr 15, 2013

Ehrmagerd!

Yes. All of my yes. This is one of my few game series that I will buy every game for. Please let there be more. Let this be good.

Kifimbo · Apr 15, 2013

Well, Might & Magic X is actually the first mainline Might & Magic game from Ubisoft, outside of "spin-offs" (Heroes and Dark Messiah). It was always a low priority franchise for them. Unlike PoP.

SJRB · Apr 15, 2013

Dien't Ubi put the POP franchise on hold indefinately? Pretty sure I read an interview about this not too long ago.

Jb · Apr 15, 2013

This looks like it might be 2.5D. So perhaps an XBLA title?

POP is at the bottom as far as priorities for them go man. Ass Creed was the new POP, Watch_Dogs will be the new Ass Creed, etc.

Every time they have a new succesful franchise they sorta drop the last. Prince of Persia will obviously get another attempt at a reboot down the line but I wouldnt be surprised if they outsorce a game like this

Shaanyboi · Apr 15, 2013

Looks fine. I'd play it.

Shiggy · Apr 15, 2013

SJRB said:

They just announced an iPad game.

This is definitely not a new PoP though. To me, it looks like Climax is trying to get some interest by publishers with this publicity stunt. It could be that they are lacking any publisher-funded projects at the moment if they start original titles instead of some cheap titles like Eyepet and Smart As.

Edit: They show lots of activity at the moment and also have open positions. Financial problems thus don't seem to be the problem.

Just saying they haven't done that with Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil or Driver.

electro · Apr 15, 2013

Damn, that art direction is stunning.

RPGCrazied · Apr 15, 2013

I'd rather have a new Prince of Persia then the yearly ass creed. But who is Climax Studios? Never heard of them.

RoboPlato · Apr 15, 2013

The color scheme/lighting reminds me a lot of DmC.

they're kinda all over the place

they made the terrible Rocket Knight XBLA game but they also made the fantastic Silent Hill Shattered Memories

so yeah
