Has Ubisoft been punished for Warrior Within?

If not, can they?

Here's how the design process went for at least 50% of the game:

"Shall we wrap up the game now? I feel it might be starting to drag."

"No - make them do another section that's some old shit they've already done."

"Okay"

Game was rushed but still much better than later Ubisoft slop. Entire PoP trilogy is gold.
 
Can you be punished for this thread?

I remember Warrior Within being my favourite, though the last time I played it must've been like 15 years ago. Fantastic trilogy. I do not expect anything from the Sands of Time remake, sadly.
 
I remember having fond memories of this entry when I was younger, but my recent replay of SoT tetralogy reminded me I forgot how tedious and repetitive WW was in its second half. Sands of Times was and still is my favorite
 
Man thanks for reminding me of 2004, I loved Warrior Within, but I was also a teen and feeling edgy. This, HL2, Fable and Republic Commando and NFSU2 were my main games lol
 
It's been 20 years so I don't know how I would feel about it if I played all 3 again, but back then, Warrior Within was my favorite in the trilogy.
I did play sand of time again later on ps3 with the hd release, and I didn't enjoy it as much as when I was younger, I found the combats too repetitive.

My favorite Prince of Persia though is the 2008 version. This game got a lot of unfair criticism back then, but it was a really nice game with a great atmosphere. The whole DLC episode / ending stuff sucked though.
 
Games like Sands of Time and Beyond Good & Evil didn't have strong launches at all and Ubisoft discounted them very quickly. Giving them away with cornflakes or whatever.

While I haven't played that trilogy in decades, I don't ever remember being offended by of it or thinking any of them sucked. I even thought the movie tie in was good and the stand alone cell shaded on was fine too, but having the "real" ending locked behind paid DLC was certainly a Ubisoft move.
 
Lost Crown is the best game in the franchise (it's not even particularly close imo) and Warrior Within isn't even the best in its own trilogy lol
Even sands of time stomps all over Lost Crown. Warrior Within is the best in the franchise. Best combat, best art design, best story, and by far the best level design.
 
Say what you want about Warrior Within. It was a game that reflected the edge period of that era. Also, it has the best combat system in all of Ubisoft games. It is the closest thing to a true Hollywood style action flick not seen since. And then there's the alternate ending which is very rewarding if you actually locate all the secrets. This is Ubis peak and the most unwoke game they've ever made. Can you imagine them releasing it this time?
