I would die a happy man. As someone else mentioned, this met with a lukewarn response. People weren't still over The Sands of Time trilogy so a reboot rubbed them the wrong way. It's a real fucking shame cause PoP 2008 turned into a true gem that stood the test of time.

A few years later Ubi went back and decided to continue PoP with Forgotten Sands that seemed to directly follow after the first Sands of Time game in an alternate universe type of way. That one tanked pretty bad too...

I liked PoP 2008 but the platforming sequence felt more mechanical than the other games. Felt like many traversal segments were just a sequence of buttons to press in the right order and the required timing was extremely loose.
