A couple of days ago, Ubisoft agreed to hand over the rights of 1666: Amsterdam to former Assassin’s Creed creative director Patrice Desilets. And today, YouTube’s member ‘Brandon Sheffield’ has shared a video, showing what this game looked like back in 2012. Back then, the game was still meant to be published by THQ (who closed in January 2013). Naturally, this build will never see the light of day. Still, it will give you an idea of what this game was all about. Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

That intro was amazing…
You are joking right?
This guy have a low standard.
Nope, I really like how intro animation goes through paintings.
from 00:00-00:50
Great that the guy situation got sorted out, but Ubisoft probably nicked a lot of ideas from this already.
I don’t think you can call this “sorted out”, considering that Ubisoft bought the whole studio he helped to establish (THQ Montreal), cancelled the project, and kicked him out (quite literally), but yeah, still better than nothing.
That sucked but at least he have the rights to his thing back.
Unfortunately, this means nothing unless they also gave him all of the assets they made during the years of development. The IP itself doesn’t have much of a value (I doubt many people know about this unreleased game).
Doesn’t really look like much to be proud of.
It looks to be just a prototype, its quite alright for that. He had more than enough reason to be proud of it, from what I can see.
those boats were added to ac4 black flag i bet
