Do you think a revival is truly possible, or is it redundant with AC around like Ubi thinks?

Forgotten Sands was the final nail in the coffin for the series I fear.
Not that it was bad, it just didn't really play like a Prince of Persia game should. The Prince's fighting style just plumb wasn't there and the magic made bothering to try fighting was a waste of time.
When you could just use the air attack and wreck everything with literally zero effort.
By comparison the 2008 game with the waifu was solid gold, though I think a huge mistake was made by not using her prototype design. At least it kept made the combat a spectacle, a very acrobatic spectacle.
I don't think AC makes it redundant since the combat in AC tends to try and stick on the more grounded side of things.
There is no fancy acrobatics happening in AC and the combat is part of what made the PoP series so memorable.

PoP 08's problem was you couldn't die
Luis Rodriguez
That was amoungst its problems but compared to Forgotten Sands I'd say 08 was a better game and definitely stayed much more true to the core identity of the series.
Despite Forgotten Sands being an attempt at rebooting the series with the original cast since 08 was genuinely not popular.

i liked 08. don't know why but it wasn't bad. you can't die, but then again you'll just rewind time in other games as well

With how AC has diverged from the old formula as of Origins, there's no longer any reason why a return to trilogy-era PoP would be redundant in anyone's eyes. The platforming's changed to become opportunistic and not really essential anymore, the combat's straight up Witcher shit, so on and so forth.
I'd say a revival is possible. I just do *not* trust modern Ubisoft to do good with it. I don't trust them with anything. They somehow took Ghost Recon and Assassin's Creed, created an entirely new franchise, and made them all play essentially exactly like the three last Far Cry games. They're gonna try to cram in an open world somehow, microtransactions, do the same Witcher combat, have the same floaty movement as ACO that I hate, or something like that.

Funny thing that you'd say that.
While I like 08 way more for what it wanted to do, what it actually achieved and all despite its shortcomings, despite its satisfying, fluid and weighty animation, beautiful vistas, conversations with Elika and world it ultimately feels like an awkward tech demo.
I'd say Forgotten Sands actually succeeds better than 08 does at being a game, even if it's just an uninspired, boring rehash of Sands of Time.
It's sad that the only continuation 08 will ever get is that DS game. The concept has a lot of potential, and I'm sure all the major flaws would be ironed out in one, maybe two further entries and we could have gotten something that would really be special.

Me too, I don't think it earned all the hate it got. There was a spark there that could've become something more.

I don't even care so much about a sequel, I just wish somebody else would try to make such a fluid and detailed partner mechanic like 08 had. All the little animations the Prince and Elika share in and out of combat, just going about the game, are really well done even today.
