Sucker Punch Cancelled Game "Prophecy" Gameplay Surfaces

On of Sucker Punch's binned projects have surfaced! Called "Prophecy," check out gameplay footage of this Sucker Punch cancelled project now.

TGGJustin1413d ago

This is a very short clip of the whole 10 minute video that leaked earlier. It looks very generic so I'm glad they didn't go this route. It does explain why Ghost took them almost the entire generation to finish though.

Nitrowolf21413d ago

I think the setting looks fine, but the gameplay is obviously super rough. i can the combat probably evolved into what was in Ghost though

Marquinho1413d ago

Ghost of Tsushima looks much more inspired. I think they made the right decision.

sampsonon1412d ago

you are getting down votes for who know's what reason, but i second what you said.
Ghost is a great game and after seeing this i also think they made the right decision.
Combat in Ghost is so amazing.

RgR1412d ago

@sampson

Probably because early development demos always look rough. Not even remotely representative of the final product.

Nobody is saying GoT is a bad game. I'm getting my copy sometime next week and I can't wait.

-Foxtrot1412d ago

I'm glad they went with Ghost of Tsushima in the end but this does look interesting for being early rough gameplay

I hope they can retune it for a future project

Reminds me of Assassin's Creed

NecrumOddBoy1413d ago

Jin used to be an assassin but then he took an arrow to the knee.

UnSelf1413d ago

Jin-sama. You’re alive?

Crazyglues1412d ago (Edited 1412d ago )

Yeah way too Assassin Creed, they probably didn't intend that but it does look like a clone, and that's not good thing, with so many ideas on what to make a video game about, this is pretty disappointing that the best they came up with was a copy of Assassin Creed idea...

Come on' game companies you got to do much better then this... No copying, this comes off as a copy and paste of AC I would have never bought this... There are tons of ideas out there not done yet that could be really good games...

Good thing Sucker Punch cancelled this... Make new exciting games..

King_Noctis1412d ago

Really similar to AC. I'm glad they release GoT instead.

TheKingKratos1413d ago

What is this crap ??

Glad it was cancelled

TheColbertinator1413d ago

Plenty of great developers have had early concept ideas that are trash. Thankfully most ideas like those are scrapped.

sampsonon1412d ago

So let me get this straight? You say the same thing as @TheKingKratos and you get up votes while he gets down votes..... Strange community.

TheColbertinator1412d ago

@sampsonon

I've been here for over a decade and this community never made sense to me. Best not to think about it too much.

Silly gameAr1413d ago

I wonder how they went from this to a samurai game with a Japanese setting?

badz1491413d ago

is there any Samurai game with non-japanese setting?

Profchaos1413d ago

Probably like most cancelled games maybe it wasn't actually fun or didn't get to what they were trying to achieve the number of cancelled games with a high level of polish is mind boggling for those reasons

Looper1413d ago

Looks cool. Maybe they can return it to next gen.

kevinsheeks1413d ago

Same looks amazing to me, with this game being a hit they will have a bit more clout going forward and a lot more pull so they should really be able to show us something amazing next gen.

Every PlayStation Studios game available now on Windows PC

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.

According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."

My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.

Elda1d 21h ago

Every old Playstation game that is now on PC.

shinoff21831d 12h ago

Right. I definitely see what a headlined from a website named windows central was trying to do though. It's cute little wordplay to help out the green box

Flewid6381d 10h ago

Are PlayStation games no longer good or worth playing once they are old?

Elda1d 10h ago

I'm guessing my comment went over your head.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 20h ago

Good at least they can sell hardware

Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie

Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.

Very very early in development. Still, fantastic news!

Let´s GO!!!

Lightning772d ago

I guess.

How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )

At least it wouldn't be MS of all ppl destroying them.

MS really should let go Tango go like they did TFB here.

darthv722d ago (Edited 2d ago )

one was under Bethesda (Tango) the other under Activision (TFB). Clearly each one handled the separations of their subordinates differently.

Obscure_Observer2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )"

Perhaps because Zenimax and ABK handles such matters differently based on their own internal policies as "independent" publishers.

Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future. Which could also be the reason why they ensured an exclusive partnership with TFB and its new game, before anyone else.

Sad and disgusting. But it is what it is.

Lightning772d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future."

MS has a bad rep now because those studios are no more. I rather them sell the studio continue to make multiplatform releases, while MS continues to focus on whatever they're doing. If they didn't want Tango around they should separated from them or sell them to, like they did TFB.

It's inexcusable, they have options on how to handle studios they don't want anymore with killing jobs. Not just MS but the rest of the industry also.

Sad and disgusting sure how many will get shut down next year or this year even?

I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another.

Obscure_Observer2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Imo, MS separated from TFB because they didn´t had a game associated with Xbox yet, unlike Tango.

"I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another."

Fair enough. It was indeed an epic dumb move from them to close Tango.

Still, all to be forgotten, like always have. This is not the first time a big publisher shuts down a beloved and/or successful studio out of nowhere and certainly won´t be the last. Do you remember Lionhead? Do you remember Evolution Studios? Yeah... both were beloved studios and yet, those companies kill those studios in q blink of an eye and got away with it.

anast1d 21h ago (Edited 1d 21h ago )

The studio boss made some money from this transaction. Once the game releases, the studio will get chopped up.

-Foxtrot2d ago

Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately

...

Goes right back to them as partners.

Okaaaaaay...

darthv722d ago

Id venture a guess that TFB working directly with MS was a better outcome than working through Activision to get to MS.

VersusDMC2d ago

From the article...

"Toys for Bob spun out as an indie back in February after Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs that impacted 86 employees, which was more than half of the staff"

I doubt those 86 employees enjoyed the Microsoft experience over Activisions.

Inverno2d ago

MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂

Chevalier2d ago

The best thing is that the company that is worth $3 trillion and owns the company instead of Xbox lacks resources. How the hell does a company worth $3 trillion making a measly $70 billion purchase they 'can't' support. Lol

romulus231d 17h ago

Stockholm syndrome, maybe?

BlindMango1d 12h ago

The reason they would need to "partner with Microsoft" is simply to make a game that's part of a franchise that Microsoft owns. Meaning they're probably going to make a new Spyro game - they're still an independent studio, but are making a game in a franchise that Microsoft owns. It's kind of like Remedy partnering with Rockstar to be able to make the Max Payne remakes.

shinoff21831d 12h ago

It was probably the deal to get released from Ms

Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.

Chevalier2d ago

That's absolutely 💯 BS. Any sane 'autonomous' company would NOT put their games on Gamepass day 1 like COD will lose probably billions.

Also they're all under Xbox game studios so any autonomy is an illusion.

PhillyDonJawn1d 18h ago

No, I'm sure MS can and does step in when they want something done specifically but I'm also sure they let them also work independently

shinoff21831d 12h ago

I highly highly doubt this. Ms controls all. The guys aren't gonna be allowed to just shut something down like that without approval. No way

Elda2d ago

Either a kiddie game or something uninteresting.

Obscure_Observer2d ago

Don´t worry. You won´t be playing it anyway since their next game will possible be a next gen Xbox console game.

Elda1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Don't worry about my comments.

PhillyDonJawn1d 17h ago

Right probably something like astrobot

romulus231d 17h ago

Nah he said "uninteresting", lots of people are interested in Astro Bot.

Elda1d 15h ago

Never Astro Bot. Astro Bot looks better than any exclusive released on XB this entire generation & believe there hasn't been much.

Asplundh1d 15h ago

Crash 4 was good, so I'm hopeful.

PhillyDonJawn1d 13h ago

Hey you said that about SOT and looks like many ppl on PS is playing it. You also found bugsnax interesting ffs your opinion hold no weight lol.

Elda1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Bugsnax is BS, tried it & quickly deleted it. It's a game that fits right on Gamepass. PS5 owners that are probably playing the boring SOT you could count on one hand. LMAO!!...don't try to come for me.

PhillyDonJawn1d 11h ago

So you admit bugsnax interested you enough to try? 😂 someone gotta call you out on the foolishness.

What Happens to Your Steam Account When You Die?

The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.

To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"

shinoff21832d ago

Pretty much. My son knows my info.

Abear212d ago

Yeah worrying about digital ownership when you’re on the other side of the grass seems a little strange, but also on brand for these millennial journalists to worry about.

qalpha2d ago

I'm sure Keith will be happy to hear he's a millennial journalist.

Goodguy013d ago

I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.

CrimsonWing692d ago

Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.

anast2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It's not difficult but It's against the policy. If they find out, they will lock the account permanently.

CrimsonWing692d ago

Ah ok, I had a feeling there was something like that. It seems kind of weird that you can’t just hand your account over to a family member or friend and let them take over the account.
