Wish this saw the light of day. Looks good even though the resolution in this video is shitty

 

[Business]

Fascinating that we can see this footage. Still, I think we won with GoT.

 

[NahaNago]

I'm not feeling it.

 

[Knitted Knight]

Prefer that they went with Ghost. The character animation/closer to the screen camera is a win tho... likewise for that metal eating powder. Sick shit.

 

[splattered]

Dunno feels extremely scripted but maybe that's just because it's a presentation demo... i think GoT ended up the better choice IMO

 

[Hudo]

Ghost of Tsushima is legit awesome. I kinda hope Sucker Punch will go with a game set during the Crusades next!

 

[Thicc Enigma]

I think it makes sense now why GoT took as long as it did

Good thing it was cancelled, it looked disgustingly bland

 

[REE Machine]

Glad this got killed for Ghosts

 

[Xtib81]

Doesn't look too hot

 

[CrysisFreak]

How the fuck did this even get leaked???

 

[kraspkibble]

Would rather play that unfinished game than GoT.

 

[Camreezie]

If they went with Ghost instead they absolutely made the right choice. This had vibes like a duller 3rd person Dishonored to me

Yeah, this explains everything.

Prophecy is "the same project" as Ghost of Tsushima, not a cancelled title, and also the Sucker Punch game that Shu said during an interview with Kinda Funny at E3 2015 that he just had played. The thing is that around 2015/16 the concept started to slowly morph into what we now know as GOT and we know this thanks to former Sucker Punch developers who mentioned on several Glassdoor reviews that the studio's current project was going through a lot of concept changes, which sometimes meant that months of work were going to waste - something that really did hurt the morale of the team at the time.

 

[Knitted Knight]

In case OP's goes down. Mirror.

 

[Dave_at_Home]

Looks like some kind of generic hybrid of Uncharted/Tomb Raider/Assassins Creed. Made the right choice with Ghost of Tsushima.

 

[Perrott]

Would rather play that unfinished game than GoT.

Those interactions with the environment, the way AI was meant to work and the overall flow of the setpieces reminded me a lot to Half-Life 2 - and that's never a bad thing. Also, I like how it was set in a completely new world, that's something that I personally prefer when it comes to new IPs.

 

[Vawn]

Looks fine, but nothing near on the level of Ghost of Tsushima.

I'm glad the team's morale was hurt then. But this AIN'T it chief.

 

[HellforLeather]

Looks ok if a bit derivative. I do like the idea of throwing chemicals around for use in combat and stuff. You can definitely see some of the seeds of GoT melee combat here.

Sticky powder bomb throwing animation.

 

[INC]

Wanna play that more than AC

 

[CrysisFreak]

Wanna play that more than AC

The setting looks very much like traditional AC.

Your just a Hater dude lol

 

[INC]

The setting looks very much like traditional AC.

Indeed. And I'd still rather play this

 

[Kokoloko85]

I dig it. Glad we got Ghosts

Pretty surprised this got leaked. This must be the most footage of a canned game that never got announced ever

Looks Mistborn Inspired to me

 

[Punished Miku]

Melting metal and armor is a neat power up that would be fun to use I'm sure. You can definitely tell it's a Sucker Punch game because the main character gets nailed by projectile spam.

The armor the enemies wear is kind of dorky looking. Reminds me of Chronicles of Riddick.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

What time frame is this from exactly, like 2015 or something? They made the right decision either way. A much bolder decision to take on an Asian period of history than another Western fantasy game.

 

[Psykodad]

Glad they went with GOT. That's a thirteen-a-dozen setting.

Cool to see all the GOT gameplay elements though.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Was the MC based off of a real actor? He looks familiar.

 

[McCheese]

I hope they looked this project in the eyes when they killed it.

 

[Grinchy]

That looked kinda sweet. Some janky animations and maybe the fighting stuff was unfinished, but really cool still.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Can they realize this demo for a ps5 patched edition of GoT, as a bonus? It looks really cool.

 

[PlayVerso]

It looks generic with interesting visual style in 'The Order' style.

 

[geordiemp]

I would appreciate a ps5 second son, that game lookled like creed clone, I have enough of that in my backlog.

 

[Rikoi]

Generic AC copy paste.
Good thing they scrapped this for GoT.

Yeah, superpowers can be really cool when the run on Zen cores if you ask me.

 

[GamerEDM]

Ghost of tsushima is fantastic but this looks like shit

Between this and Ghost of Tsushima, I'd say Ubisoft should just donate Assassin's Creed IP to Sucker Punch and be done with it.

SP does AC better than Ubi

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Creative bankruptcy at Sucker Punch.

This looks awful.

In all honesty, GoT is awesome, but this looks way, waaaaay more interesting to me

Hope they'll revitalize it in the future

 

[Camreezie]

Strange how Infamous Second Son also looked more advanced than this. I know it's a demo and all

 

[Fbh]

Doesn't look bad, but I'm glad they went with GOT

 

[MiguelItUp]

Some cool concepts here, but definitely feels a bit bland as well. Good to know that things from it made its way into GoT. Game is so beautiful.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Shame we can't have both, because that looked excellent, but I'm hlad they went with GoT in the end.

 

[Aion002]

Seems cool. It appears to be a more linear game, with quite a few scripted moments. Ghost is quite the opposite, I hope some day they can go back to it and finish it.

 

[Hustler]

Could've been promising, you can tell this is an early build and very scripted. Sort of looks like an e3 demo presentation that was meant to be shared behind closed doors. Is a bit bland looking, but that can be fixed.

 

[samwizered]

Looks pretty cool. Unfortunate that it got scrapped, but understandable that they shifted towards Ghosts of Tsushima over this. It looks pretty derivative of Assassin's Creed and similar games. Still, there are some neat mechanics on display here.

 

[Keihart]

Looks a lot like TLoU in concepts and aesthetics, like the way the camera and animations are framed and all that. Looked rough tho, i don't think i would of liked to play in that world of brown and knights, those visuals looked unisnpired.
You can see traces of GoT in here tho, i'm glad they went for GoT, feels a lot fresher and focused.
