New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

Time Traveler [PS2 – Cancelled]

Time Traveler is an action game that was in development in 2003 / 2004 at Sensory Sweep Studios. From the only video that remains from the project it seems that the player would have been able to go back in time to the Titanic disaster, to change the history.  It’s currently unknown if the Titanic was the scenario for only one of the various levels of the game, or if all the missions would have been set in the  famous sinking ship. This project could have also been a proposal concept for an early Playstation 3 game, with a prototype build created on their PS2 engine.

Prince of Persia Zero video: the early days of PoP Prodigy

Do you remember those small screens from an early Prince of Persia: Prodigy prototype that were released by Surfer Girl in January 2008? Well, now we are able to see that “alpha” version (aka Prince of Persia Zero) in motion.. and it was really beautiful, even if the final game was not like this. It seems that they created various different concepts for the project before choosing its final style. Check the video below to see PoP0 in motion:

Update: as we can read over at GameSetWatch, thanks to “David Pettitt” we learn that this video was “a target render that the team pitched the game with”. It seems that Ubisoft showed the full Target Render at a Vancouver SIGGRAPH event. Anyone has the full video?

Update: The user Danyq94 found that video on YouTube:

Mr. Nutz / Timet [Amiga – Beta]

Mr. Nutz: Hoppin’ Mad is a side scrolling, 2D platformer game published by Ocean Software for the Amiga and first released in 1994. The game started out as Timet: the Flying Squirrel by a company named Kaiko but was sold before being released. The player character sprite was a slimmer flying squirrel, which was changed to a fluffier red squirrel but some of the level and enemy design remained. [Infos from Wikipedia]
