Footage of an unreleased or probably cancelled Sucker Punch game not too long ago surfaced on-line after a former character artist posted clips on their private web site.
The game was apparently referred to as Prophecy, and pictures was initially shared on Reddit. After being taken down twice, the 11 minute gameplay clip was uploaded to Google Drive, and remains to be viewable on the time of writing this text. You ought to be capable to watch it under.
The clip begins with a statute of a former king being torn down in an ostensibly industrial city. You play a person named Abel, who’s on a mission to uncover the underground chambers hidden beneath the “scarred city” he inhabits. Unfortunately, Abel has an enormous bounty on his head and has to maintain to the shadows as usually as potential.
From the trailer, we will see that the game performs out in a third-person perspective. The fight seems to be roguish – Abel begins out with a dagger, and even when he finds a sword he depends on some form of alchemy extra so than brute pressure.
Interestingly, there are quite a lot of gameplay similarities between Prophecy and Sucker Punch’s newest launch, Ghost of Tsushima. There are shimmy-based loading screens, and alchemy seems to be loads like Ghost weapons. On prime of that, traversal beneath floorboards as a method of stealthy infiltration confirms that though Prophecy seems to have been no less than conceptually ditched, the DNA of its programs is certainly seen in Ghost of Tsushima.
It’s unclear to say how far Sucker Punch was into growing Prophecy, however the visuals are fairly good, and the mechanics seem like comparatively sturdy. Facial animations are a bit tough, although, so it appears affordable to say that there was a stable base intact, but it surely nonetheless seemingly would have required some polish previous to delivery.
My guess is that the plot juxtaposed Abel’s private seek for the “chambers beneath this scarred city” with the simultaneous aim of stopping its inhabitants from “claiming their secrets for themselves.”
“Should that happen, all of this will burn,” says Abel on the finish of the trailer.
Prophecy seems to be very fascinating, I feel, and it could be a disgrace to listen to that it has been formally cancelled. It seems to be far up my road than Ghost of Tsushima, no less than.
If you’re contemplating buying Ghost of Tsushima for your self, make sure to try our review first.
