Ačkoliv je propouštění, zavírání studií a rušení projektů v posledních letech běžnou součástí koloritu herního průmyslu a komunita si na ně už stihla zvyknout, nedávné zrušení remaku Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time mnohé přesto zamrzelo. Jarda, Šárka a Lukáš se proto rozhodli, že si tuhle bolest trochu odžijí veřejně a zavzpomínají na další velké hry, které, jako José, nikdy nepřijely.

Maailma on samanaikaisesti tulessa ja jäässä, mutta ei anneta sen häiritä! Jakson juontajana toimii Niko Lähteenmäki ja kaverina studiossa on tuttuun tapaan Petri Leskinen! Aloitamme juttutuokion käymällä hiukan läpi viimeisimpiä kuulumisia sekä tietenkin maailmalla tapahtuneita edesottamuksia. Uutiskatsauksessa keskustellaan tänään muun muassa sensuurista, taannoisesta Xbox Developer_Directistä sekä Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remaken yllättävästä peruuntumisesta. Lisäksi pidämme varaustilaisuuden, jossa Niko ja Petri valkkaavat viisi odotetuinta peliään tälle vuodelle. Listat saattavat yllättäen poiketa melko pahasti toisistaan. Mediakörnerissä puhuttaa katsottujen puolella muun muassa Game of Thrones -spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, joka on yllättänyt castilaiset aavistuksen humoristisella otteellaan. Keskustelua riittää myös Marty Supremesta, Falloutin kakkoskaudesta sekä The Walking Deadin uusintakierroksesta. Pelattujen puolella Niko on muun muassa Sektorin ja Dragon Quest VII Reimaginedin pauloissa, kun taas Petri on kiipeillyt vuorella Cairnin merkeissä sekä seikkaillut Lara Croftin ominaisuudessa viimeisimmän trilogian voimin. Tervetuloa mukaan kuuntelemaan! Tämä jakso on nauhoitettu 3.2.2026. Alkubiisi: Alleycat Bit Blues ja loppubiisi: Bon Voyage, players! by: Tomi Ruuska Väliaikabiisi: OutRun the Highway by: Jukka K.

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld die videogames heet. Immer vergezeld van een gekruide mening. JJ wordt ditmaal vergezeld door Huey. Met zijn tweeën praten ze over de mededeling van Valve dat ze er nog steeds niet over uit zijn wat de prijs van  hun Steam Machine moet zijn. Dat terwijl de console de komende maanden uit moet komen. Waarom weten ze die prijs niet? En bestaat er een kans dat de Steam Machine misschien wordt uitgesteld? De twee hebben het verder ook over de grootte van de map van The Witcher 4. Het lijkt er namelijk op dat de tijden dat alles altijd groter moest, voorbij zijn. Dit, en meer, kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van donderdag 5 februari 2026.Makers The Witcher 4 focussen niet op het maken van de 'grootste map ooit'CD Projekt Red is druk bezig met het werk aan The Witcher 4. In een interview gaven de makers aan dat de map van deel 4 niet groter wordt dan die van The Witcher 3; Wild Hunt. De focus binnen het bedrijf ligt 100% op het rijker maken van de map. Er moet meer gebeuren, meer te zien zijn en meer te doen. Wat denken de twee heren van deze aanpak? En zien ze deze aanpak als een stijlbreuk? Want tot voor kort ratelde elke pr-medewerker bij een nieuwe open wereld-game dat de map groter zou worden dan de voorganger.Valve weet nog steeds de prijs van de Steam Machine nietEen ander onderwerp dat aan bod komt in deze editie is het cancellen van Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Het lijkt er meer en meer op dat de game echt af was. Waarom dan niet gewoon uitgeven? Of is het een vooropgezet plan? De beide heren gaan er de discussie over aan.Timestamps:00:00:00 De Gamekings Daily van 5 februari00:00:53 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake 00:07:38 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase00:11:39 PlayStation kwartaalcijfers boven verwachting00:12:45 Valve weet prijs van Steam Machine nog steeds niet 00:19:18 The Witcher 4 wordt even groot als The Witcher 3, maar voller

A massive shakeup is hitting the French gaming giant Ubisoft. With six games canceled—including the long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake—and 200 layoffs looming at their Paris headquarters, the French video game makers union is officially calling for a strike. We break down the impact on upcoming titles, the closure of international studios, and what this means for the future of mega-franchises like Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six Siege, and The Division.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down Ubisoft's 2026 major reset—a sweeping organizational, operational, and portfolio overhaul announced to reclaim creative leadership and restore sustainable growth under CEO Yves Guillemot.Ubisoft has restructured into five decentralized Creative Houses, each with full ownership over specific genres and brands: Vantage Studios (CH1) scales AAA franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six; CH2 focuses on competitive/co-op shooters including The Division, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell; CH3 handles live-service titles such as For Honor, The Crew, Riders Republic, Brawlhalla, and Skull & Bones; CH4 drives immersive fantasy and narrative games with Anno, Might & Magic, Rayman, Prince of Persia, and Beyond Good & Evil; CH5 targets casual/family-friendly experiences like Just Dance, mobile hits, and licensed titles.This shift addresses escalating AAA costs, market competition, and trends toward mobile and Games-as-a-Service, prioritizing open-world adventures and GaaS-native experiences while investing in player-facing generative AI.The reset includes significant cuts: employee count reduced to 17,097 (from 20,729 in 2022, a net loss of 3,633), selective studio closures (including Halifax and Stockholm), and a "final" €200 million savings push, with €234 million more planned over two years. Six games canceled (including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and unannounced titles), seven delayed (potentially impacting Assassin's Creed projects and Beyond Good & Evil 2), and four new IPs in development (including March of Giants).Financially, expect short-term hits in FY2026-2027: €386 million gross margin reduction, €650 million R&D depreciation, and €350 million net bookings drop. A mandatory five-day in-office policy has sparked internal unrest and backlash against leadership.Analytic Dreamz explores the implications for Ubisoft's future, from agile decision-making and long-term sustainability to employee sentiment and investor reactions in this in-depth analysis.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The slam of winter weather caused Sean and Marc to delay the podcast recording this week. Still, we are here discussing what's going on in gaming, which is predominantly focused on two entities, Xbox and Ubisoft. Xbox had its Developer Direct 2026 last week and showed off some interesting things for both Forza Horizon 6 and Fable, with one getting the rumored May 19 release date and the other stuck on an Autumn release window. Did the broadcast do anything to get them more excited for these two flagship titles? And what about the other two games that were shown? The duo discusses their thoughts. Also, Ubisoft followed up on all of the talk from last week to introduce an entire restructuring plan that includes teams split among five creative houses. The cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, the reveal of what Vantage Studios will actually be doing and the prospect of more layoffs at an already over-inflated company. Plus, Sean has thoughts on Escape From Ever After, Cairn, and Steel Century Groove, Marc has been playing the Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta Remake, the fallout from High Guard's release, and is the hate justified?You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/U5jDM8mQ84YListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Ubisoft odstartoval nový rok masivním propouštěním, zavíráním studií a rušením projektů, které mimo jiné odskákal i remake Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Kromě toho se pobavíme taky o očekávaných hrách, které se ukázaly na Xbox Directu. Ve studiu se sejde Šárka, Aleš a Jakub.

In this episode, Greg and Colan break down the surprising success of Hytale after its departure from Riot Games, the strategic restructuring at Ubisoft, and the evolving multi-platform future of Xbox. Colan provides a deep-dive "dissertation" on the three eras of Riot Games publishing and explains why the studio may be "trapped by its own success".Key Discussion Points1. The Hytale Miracle: From Cancellation to Chart-Topper The Buyback: After Riot Games effectively shuttered the project, the original founders bought back the rights and launched into Early Access. Market Dominance: Within its first weeks, Hytale ranked #4 in search and #9 on Twitch, commanding roughly 2.5% of the total gaming market. The China Factor: Colan highlights the massive "opportunity cost" for Riot/Tencent, noting that Hytale could have been a native competitor to Minecraft in a Chinese market with over 700 million accounts.2. The Evolution (and Stagnation) of Riot Games Publishing The Golden Era (2019-2020): Riot enjoyed a historic run with "heaters" like Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra. The "Trapped" Success: Colan argues that Riot is now bloated by the weight of its own success; the immense resources required to maintain massive live-service hits prevents them from taking bold risks on new IP. Riot Forge Lessons: Why Riot's attempt to release smaller "love letters" to the community failed to act as a funnel for new players.3. Ubisoft's Strategic Reset Cancellations & Restructuring: Ubisoft has canceled six games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, while mandating a 5-day return-to-office policy. The Global Shift: An analysis of why game development is shifting from expensive hubs like California to subsidized regions like Riyadh.4. The Shooter Landscape: Highguard vs. Marathon Highguard's Attention Deficit: Despite viral memes, the game lacks measurable player attention, making it a high-risk launch in a genre dominated by Apex and Overwatch. The Case for Marathon: Colan remains "bullish" on Bungie's Marathon, predicting it will successfully claim a "bronze medal" spot in the extraction shooter hierarchy.Featured Quotes"Riot is first-in-class at maintaining live ecosystems, but that success becomes a weight. Why risk anything when you have a thing you can monetize forever?" — Colan NeeseResources & Links Colan's Newsletter: Subscribe to "Patch Notes" on Substack or LinkedIn for the full dissertation on Riot's publishing history.

On this week's Arcade, Uno stays locked into the endgame of Hades II, using downtime to tackle challenge runs and long-term upgrades. He also returns to Silent Hill f, gaining a new appreciation for its combat. Meanwhile, Chugs wraps up a packed slate of games, finishing Pokémon Legends Z-A and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. He also braves the psychological horror of Broken Lore: Unfollow and starts exploring the beautiful Metroidvania world of MIO: Memories in Orbit.In gaming news, the boys unpack everything shown during Xbox Developer Direct 2026, from Forza Horizon 6 to Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation, Kiln and the long-awaited Fable reboot. They also talk about the latest Resident Evil Requiem showcase, Ubisoft canceling multiple projects including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Street Fighter 6's Year 3 update featuring Kenny Omega's motion capture work as Alex.AEW SP Signature Edition: https://bit.ly/4srGApc Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on GameBurst, we dissect a turbulent week for the gaming industry, led by Ubisoft's sweeping "portfolio reset" which has seen the long-awaited Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake axed alongside the closure of several studios. While the French publisher pivots toward a new "Creative House" model, the UK sector finds cause for optimism with the unveiling of the 2026 Games Growth cohort, a government-backed initiative aimed at scaling thirty of the country's most promising emerging studios. We also explore the record-breaking success of Amazon's Fallout series and how a shift toward shorter, "one-sitting" experiences like Inkle's TR-49 is challenging the dominance of the bloated open-world epic. #gameburst Featured Video Content: 230 games came out the first week of 2026: An Investigation by Jenna Stoeber - https://youtu.be/Yjf-GPp3n5k?si=6z3ifgZSZ9sV6WCW

In this weeks episode we talk about the 2026 Xbox Direct. We got a new trailer for Fable WITH gameplay! We also spoke about the downfall of Ubisoft and the recent cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake.

Steve and Bobby are back on Creature Cast, where they are joined by Hayes Madsen, the writer of the An Evening at the Inn Newsletter. This week, Ubisoft cancelled six games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, as it works to restructure, lay off employees, and demand a return to the office. Plus, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is finally on Xbox Series and Switch 2, and it's an incredible port that's nearly on par with the PlayStation 5 version.

We kick things off with evidence that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is heading to PC far sooner than expected. A new ESRB rating has surfaced for the PC version—listing Sony Interactive Entertainment as the publisher—strongly suggesting a rapid turnaround similar to the first game's sub-one-year PC launch. With Kojima Productions expanding the franchise into animated films, A24 partnerships, and Disney+ series, the Death Stranding universe is entering its biggest era yet. Next, a 10-minute leak of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has spilled online, showing early gameplay, mocap sessions, Farah's redesigned character concepts, and confirmation of two new locations built from the ground up. Ubisoft has been issuing copyright strikes, validating the footage's authenticity. Quality looks early-alpha, but it's the clearest look yet at the long-delayed remake's evolution. We then turn to huge internal rumblings at Bungie: credible leaks point to Destiny 3 being in extremely early development, reportedly positioned as a major tentpole release for the PS6 generation. This comes as Destiny 2 struggles with engagement, follows a $200 million write-down from Sony, and Marathon continues through testing before launch. With Destiny fatigue setting in, Bungie is under immense pressure to deliver a franchise reset. FLASH NEWS breaks down the rapid-fire updates you need to know: • Cyberpunk 2077 hits a massive 35 million units sold • A Far Cry TV series is officially in the works with Noah Hawley attached • PlayStation Plus December lineup revealed: LEGO Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, and Synduality Echo of Ada If you're here for PlayStation insights, industry leaks, and deep-dive coverage of the biggest stories in gaming, this episode has everything.

Eric and Michael revisit the golden PS2 era with two very different titles: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the groundbreaking Ubisoft action adventure, and The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, EA's cinematic RPG with, perhaps, too many ties to the legendary film trilogy.In this episode of State of the Save, the hosts explore what made these games unforgettable, from fluid parkour mechanics and movie-licensed storytelling to the signature early-2000s style that defined the generation. Eric shares his frustrations with Xbox's new pricing model, while Michael returns to Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, reflecting on an unfinished journey from his youth.The episode also set up the next Game Trade, where Eric challenges Michael to test out a spin-off of one of his favorite series, and Michael introduces Eric to a spooky Sega Genesis game perfect for Halloween season.Follow @StateOfTheSave on Instagram and Bluesky for show updates.

TCW Podcast Episode 242- Fumito Ueda   Fumito Ueda entered game design through art rather than a love of traditional play. Influenced by titles like Flashback and Another World, he sought to tell stories with minimal interfaces and expansive environments rich in mood. After early work on D and Enemy Zero, Sony gave him a trial period that led to ICO, a game shaped by surreal landscapes inspired by Giorgio de Chirico and a hand-holding mechanic to convey emotional connection. ICO struggled in Japan but became a critical hit abroad, influencing games from Uncharted 3, The Last of Us, Dark Souls, and Journey. Ueda expanded his ideas in Shadow of the Colossus, a meditation on cruelty and consequence that inspired epic boss battles in other franchises such as God of War. His long-delayed The Last Guardian explored companionship through a giant creature, though with mixed reception. Now independent, Ueda continues to shape gaming with projects yet to be revealed.   Punch Out (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T8hoeVpdV0 Space Harrier (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEWGnj12GO4 The Legend of Zelda (Famicom Disc System): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsmXV06PwnM Smash Ping Pong (Famicom): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd5QSxyG3Z0 Flashback (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNTnRM77XuE Another World (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLC_Un9lNPw D's Diner - Director's Cut (3DO): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7G1NuWciEE Enemy Zero (SEGA Saturn): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmkfgDNihZ0 PaRappa the Rapper (PSX): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97k0Dy8JweM Prince of Persia (Game Boy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thAmYGc37pA Virtua Fighter (Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7HQ2vspMHA Hello Pac-Man (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5IOwrutZmM Lemmings (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuiyFXMjGxA Chuck Jones - The Evolution of an Artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHpXle4NqWI ICO Leap of Faith (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WWr_7CoIzY Giorgio de Chirico: https://www.wikiart.org/en/giorgio-de-chirico/all-works ICO cover - Japan: https://www.mobygames.com/game/5158/ico/cover/group-79093/cover-214724/ Uncharted 3 (PS5): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFYTHMsLUc Zelda Twilight Princess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJPhioaehIY Journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkL94nKSd2M FEZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm9XRDlNDK4 The Last of Us (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJPKTCpL1ws Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34s9b6sLMjk Dark Souls (PS3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpdkd2eNmE ICO (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIzZkGP3SUk Grand Theft Auto 3 (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZMyBAjQ-QE Shadow of the Colossus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiB8MEJN-QU God of War 2 (PS2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pgks8w-HK8 The Last Guardian (PS4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ssIkVxg_k   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Boaz Yakin is a New York City–born filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer known for his versatile work across indie dramas, mainstream hits, genre films, and TV. He began his career young, selling his first screenplay (The Punisher) at 19, and quickly made a name for himself with gritty urban stories and emotionally resonant character work.Boaz directed Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Safe starring Jason Statham, Max, Uptown Girls, A Price Above Rubies, Death in Love and his indie horror mystery Boarding School among many others.Beyond directing, as a writer, his credits include The Rookie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Now You See Me. He is also the executive producer and writer for the noir Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake, and was executive producer of Hostel and Hostel 2 as one of the founding members of Raw Nerve alongside Eli Roth.As impressive as this intro is, it still reflects only a small portion of Boaz's prolific, extensive, and diverse body of work.In this conversation, Boaz discusses his career as well as his evolution as a filmmaker, the challenges of working within and outside the Hollywood system, and why his favorite films are guided less by career strategy and more by creative curiosity. He also discusses how the key to rewarding work in cinema is chasing meaning, not validation.This was a pretty awesome conversation that I was very honored to have with Boaz. Big thanks to my friend Scott Rose for putting us in touch. Without further ado, strap in, and get ready for this conversation with writer, director, and producer Boaz Yakin.Key TakeawaysLearn Script AnalysisBoaz sold his first script at 19, but he didn't just stumble into success or a superior storytelling ability — he was steeped in story from an early age. Growing up in a theatrical household and attending Stella Adler's famed script analysis classes during high school gave him a formidable foundation in character, psychology, and subtext. This background trained him to understand the deeper currents beneath the text, a skill that directly influenced his ability to write sellable screenplays at such a young age and launch his career before he could even buy a drink.This education also proved invaluable for Boaz as a director. Stella Adler taught that actors — and by extension, writers and directors — must understand every facet of a character's environment: their culture, their religion, the tone of the scene and even the weather. These contextual details inform performance and behavior and are the difference between movies and cinema.For filmmakers, building full character and environmental context informs every decision on set. The key lesson here is the importance of foundational education because learning the principles of story and writing can pay long-term dividends.Open Heart / Thick SkinOne of the most revealing points Boaz made was about the emotional toll of directing. Filmmakers are constantly having to say no to other creative collaborators — costume designers, cinematographers, actors — in order to preserve the vision of the film. Balancing that responsibility while also keeping your team inspired and not demoralized requires not only leadership, but emotional stamina and clarity of purpose.Boaz notes that many successful directors tend to have narcissistic tendencies, which buffer them from the guilt or sensitivity that might get in the way of making tough decisions — but this can harm your work just as much as being a pushover. Being empathetic makes you a better artist and can help your work resonate with more people. What Boaz teaches us here is that in addition to being emotionally resilient, directors must be emotionally intelligent. It's a balance you must...
