Update: The video has been pulled from YouTube, but you can still watch the full demo through here.
Original Story: Well, well, well. Many of you will be settling down with another session of Ghost of Tsushima today, but you could have ended up with Prophecy instead. A full 10-minute vertical slice of the cancelled release has emerged online, and you can see elements of both inFAMOUS and Ghost of Tsushima in the footage.
The project appears to be set in a kind of Medieval city, and there’s plenty of sword-fighting and Assassin’s Creed-esque parkour. It’s obviously early, but it doesn’t have the same visual identity as Jin’s debut adventure, and it’s easy to see why the team opted to develop Ghost of Tsushima instead. It’s fascinating seeing a concept video this long, though – especially now we’re playing the game it would later become.

Or not. That got taken down quickly!

I love Sucker Punch so much. Among Sony's first-party studios, they seem like the cool sibling who smokes out back during family dinners. I hope it takes less than 6 years for their next project to drop.
Maybe i am naive on game development, but this looks pretty far along in development for a proof of concept. Seems like alot of the final assets are already in game. I was surprised there was v/o and music.
I wonder how far along this was before it got scrapped - or whether SP are likely to revisit the title down the road.
It certainly has less identity than ghost and looks very similar to an assassins creed title - particularly one like syndicate- which i assume is why they changed course. It looks decent though
Ghost is something very new. They made the correct choice.
I assume that the 6 year wait from inFamous was due to development being heavily geared towards this title, until the decision was taken to develop ghost instead
Wow I want it!
Take notes Ubi
Edit
Could it be a controlled leak to test the waters?
I'm glad they went with GOT. Sure this looks decent but I prefer the colorful and vibrant setting of Tsushima over this
Loads of similarities to Ghost of Tsushima here. Some of the animations look really similar, as does the camera distance and the way it follows the player in smaller areas. Probably safe to say a lot of this ended up evolving into what we got with Ghost.
Really interesting stuff, but I'm glad Sucker Punch went with a more interesting setting than what this appears to be.
Been playing ghost over the weekend. It feels a lot like horizon zero dawn
Now the updated link has gone, it seems.
This seemed quite far along. Probably explains why Ghost took almost the whole generation for them to make. I'm glad they didn't go with this though as this game looks very generic.
they could still revisit this game and involve it with the things they learned from GOT.
it could turn out to be a very good game set in the middle ages.
a medieval setting with the care that GOT got? hell yes!
their next title is most likely a new infamous but you never know.
Concept? That looked better and more polished than allot of Triple AAA games these days.
Dang it 404ing me 😥

Looks okay but ghost of tsushima is way more better looking and more interesting than this, this looks like assassin creed syndicate with drab building and uninteresting locations.
Just found it on YouTube. That, looked, cool, as, hell. Man, I’m enjoying GoT, but Prophecy seems way more interesting.
Looks good.but im glad they made 👻 ghost of tshushima instead.word up son
Infinitely better than Ghost of Tsushima. Still not nearly as good as the best work they've ever done, Infamous and Infamous 2.
WHY DID THEY CANCEL THIS!! IT LOOKS AMAZING. Honestly i wish they would have finished this instead of GOT. No offense to that title, but this looks like great fun.
@Rob_230 the similarities to ghosts of suhima are close.
They probably reworked this into sushima.
Wow would like to play in that environment.
Hope all that time and money hasn’t gone to waste.
Perhaps they could give it to Microsoft for a series x demo this Thursday.
@Jaxx420 Thanks!! Yeah I'm glad they went with Ghost of Tsushima instead of this, we've had enough drab foggy Not-London settings.
Game looked neat, loved how they used the burn/fire elements.
Yall don't understand what a vertical slice is smh
I know I'm a year late, but does anyone have a link where I can watch the video?
