The development of the Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake is now in the hands of Ubisoft Montreal

This is basically just like Metroid Prime 4 being rebooted to go back in the hands of who should’ve made it in the first place. Hopefully they can salvage PoP because the original showing looked like a fucking mobile game, and it’s not GTA so it’s not like it’ll sell despite that.

Ubisoft Mumbai should be dissolved and none of their team should ever be allowed to touch another game's development again after that disaster.

For that they need to rehire Patrice Desilets for a third time. The Last Ubisoft visionary capable of doing something original.

Remember when this was coming out February 2021? Lol. I had it preordered. Be lucky if we get it Feb. 2023 now.

POP's combat is surprisingly deep for what it was, but the game needs a few bosses and more story/scenes to flesh out the relationship of Farah and the prince. If they just update the graphics and nothing else would be weird as f.
some people say the graphics are bad but to me it seems they don't remember the original.

It was a funny joke, but this "remake" definitely looks way better, albeit not exactly what I would expect from a remake. Hopefully Ubisoft Montreal will be able to deliver it though...

It is a shame that for their first proper game they were given something that was clearly a little too ambitious for them.
Probably should have done something smaller first if it was going to be their first project where they actually were in complete control/ actually building the title from scratch.
Given the history of this game, its delays etc. I can imagine the Graphics were only one of the problems it had too.

Do it right. Assassin's Creed is waning.
Start making PoP games again. This is your first test.

We don't know anything, we don't know how much money they got or How fast they were ask to do it.
I would reserve this kind of judgment for other things.
I wouldn't be surprised if all they got was the source code, no documentation whatsoever and been told, you need to remaster this, you have 6 month.
You can't take any of the good engineers or designers.

I honestly feel bad for Mumbai. They were given this project solely because they're an Indian studio, and they simply did not have the experience to ship it.

I would have been very happy if Ubisoft Mumbai and Pune could've turned this around. It did seem that their ambition was bigger than their experience. Or maybe there were other issues (politics, lack of support etc.), who knows. But it is sad as it was probably one of the biggest titles any Indian studio has ever worked upon.
Hopefully they learn from the experience and make something better.

They pay $300-$400 for testing people so imagine how much quality you expect from them. Lots of people in QA testing never received higher salaries.

Why does this need a remake? It was a 9/10 classic.
One of the very few platformers I've ever enjoyed playing. Game was gorgeous (for the time), rewinding time was a cool gimmick, the story has an awesome fairytale vibe.

Updating the graphics on a 20 year old game is the opposite of ambitious.

Yep. Too focused on the diversity angle rather than giving it to right people to do the job. Now they've made Mumbai look incapable, when in reality they hadn't supported the studios adequately.

In this case it was not socio-political meddling, but just trying to ship it on the cheap and they let the cheaper production costs studio handle it and threw them to the wolves and now under the bus.

I assume they're/were building this mostly from the ground up.

US$ 300-400 in India is totally different from the same amount in the US. Seems to me like an exceptional good salary for such a low position in a country like India.They pay $300-$400 for testing people so imagine how much quality you expect from them. Lots of people in QA testing never received higher salaries.
