YouTube’s ‘Rustic Games BR’ has shared a video, showcasing a retro-cool PS1 32-bit demake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. This concept video shows what a 32-bit version of this Assassin’s Creed game would look like. It looks pretty incredible, so be sure to watch it.
This demake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag uses a top-down viewpoint. That’s for both the sailing and on-foot exploration parts. And, once players hide, the game can then switch to a third-person to give them a better field of view.
In a way, this reminds me of Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu. OK OK, this feels more like an MGS with a different theme. And, it kind of works? Truth be told, you have to be an old-school gamer to properly appreciate it. And, since I love classic PC/console games, I find it fascinating.
To be honest, I’d really love to play this AC4 demake. From what we can see, Rustic Games BR implemented some basic gameplay elements. For instance, you can battle enemy ships. You can also use stealth mechanics to kill enemies. I’m certain these all are smoke and mirrors, but man, this demake looks so lovely.
If you are into demakes, we also suggest taking a look at the following ones. Back in June 2022, 64 Bits shared a 16-bit SNES demake video for Elden Ring. And let’s not forget this cool SNES demake for Warframe. Then, in August 2023, we shared a 32-bit demake for Tomb Raider: Legend. You can also find demake videos for Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil 5, The Witcher 3 and Resident Evil 4. And lastly, you can download and play the demakes of Bloodborne, Silent Hills PT, and Dead Space.
Enjoy!

It may be a fan “demake” but it runs better than Ubisoft’s game!
Ubisoft is a damned mess. They badly need new executive leadership but it’s not going to happen. They will continue shooting themselves in the foot until they are a pitiful case of fail. They actually have gone on record as stating that diversity is their number one goal for their workforce. Not talent. Not experience. Just diversity. Boggles the mind the corporate stupidity there.

Do you have a proof for what you just said? It sounds like you’re exaggerating quite a lot.
I need to see Ubisoft outright stating they don’t care about talent or experience.
Obviously they’d never say that. Instead they launched a multi-year strategy called Project Rise to focus solely on ‘talented’ racial, ethnic and cultural diversity.
Sorry, can’t help you there. I don’t know of Ubisoft ever saying that they don’t care about talent or experience. I do know, as I said, that they have said that diversity in their workforce is their number one goal going forward which obviously means that talent and experience take second place. You can Google that and find numerous links on their own website for yourself if you feel a need to. Hell, they even have a Diversity and Inclusion Team.
I love how you’re trying to derail the argument, change the subject, and double down on the fact that Ubisoft hires minorities.
Anyone with a pair of eyes can see that, my argument is that you’re exaggerating like the angry 70 year old mob on Fox News, and you can’t back it up. Just admit you’re trying to appeal to the sheep to farm upvotes and move on.
It’s no use. I can’t go on living this lie any longer. Tomorrow I am going to turn myself in to the PCGamer moderators for soliciting counterfeit upvotes on the internet. I know full well the consequences of doing this but I’m prepared to face whatever comes next.
Will you please accompany me to PCGamer when I turn myself in? It would mean a lot to me and hopefully they might show me some leniency if you’re there to support me. You know that they adore you for your Politically Correct ideology. If you choose not to then I understand. I brought all of this on myself. I don’t deserve any mercy from you but I’m asking you anyway.
They banned me back in 2014-15. I remember you were trying to appeal to them for upvotes as well.
It seems like you are too desperate for other people’s approval.
It all started out innocently enough years ago. I would make a comment here and there that I knew was popular just for the high of getting an upvote but somehow over the years I just lost all control.
I later started outright lying just to get my “upvote fix” and I even offered to have cyber s*x with women for an upvote. Anything for an upvote no matter how depraved or despicable was what my life had become.
I’ve been in and out of rehab numerous times trying to shake the monkey off my back but the upvotes just kept calling my name and luring me back and soon enough I was back in the internet gutter begging for an upvote.
If I don’t put an end to this addiction once and for all I fear that I may end up locked away for the rest of my life in an asylum for the criminally insane
Going full class clown now.
I’m telling you, you’re making it worse. You sound pretty pathetic right now.
I don’t care how I sound. A great burden has been lifted from my soul by admitting my addiction to upvotes and the sordid things that I have done for just one more upvote and I owe it all to you dagoat. My savior. My knight in shining armor.
You have always been the most caring and considerate amongst us. A beacon of compassion in this troubled world.
If only you had arrived in my journey sooner when there was still some vestige of hope that I could have been saved from the living hell that my life has been without you and your wisdom.
I will get some sleep now and tomorrow morning I will turn myself in to the PCGamer moderators. If anyone never hears from me again then know that I went into oblivion with a smile and a clear conscience. I am redeemed.
Doubling down with essays that no one reads.
Make them short or funny at least.
I have some good news for you dagoat. I turned myself in to the PCGamer moderators a little while ago. They called a PCGamer Tribunal to sit in judgement of me. I plead guilty to the charge of Soliciting Counterfeit Upvotes On the Internet but not guilty to Trafficking Upvotes Across International Borders.
The prosecutor had no proof that I had ever had a passport or any proof of international travel on my part so that charge was dropped.
I think that I got off easy on the ruling by the Tribunal. A $2,500 fine and 200 hours of community service. I will also be on a 3 year probation period where the PCGamer moderators will monitor all of my internet activity for any suspicious soliciting of upvotes by me.
I have also agreed to attend Upvote Anonymous meetings and to get a sponsor and a mandatory 12 visits to a Psychologist for therapy and counseling.
I owe it all to you for caring enough about me to make me get help and I promise to you that I will never go down that dark path again.
What do you expect from a company run by a bunch of old White guys? There is no diversity in their top management structure, it’s a bunch of old White guys ……
i really don’t get the appeal of demakes, its like broken pen…. pointless
Y’know anyone can pretty much say the same things towards whatever it is you’re into. It’s called having a preference. Some folks love the aesthetics which can be found on the PS1 and N64 consoles. And some modern games are imitating those kinds of visuals.
It’s not for everyone and that’s cool. Just like how 8-bit and 16-bit games don’t appeal to everyone either. Or cel-shaded or photorealistic games.
Are you saying that boomers want to play modern games with dated graphics?
Why does it matter? Do you consider 8-bit and 16-bit graphics dated? What about games like Valheim which combines retro aesthetics with modern technology? I’m a millennial who grew up with gaming as it evolved since the NES to now and I take joy in experiencing every visual style when they’re done right.
Everyone has a preference. Some folks like games that utilise the most cutting edge tools regardless of how generic the game may look. Just having those extra polygons or the use of ray tracing can be enough to satisfy their needs. And some people like that older or simpler form of graphics. Could be a nostalgic thing or they genuinely like the look of it. For me it’s a combination of both: playing retro style games makes me reminiscent of the good ol’ days when things used to be better yet at the same time I can appreciate the simplicity of it all.
If everything looked the same I know I’d get pretty frustrated over the lack of variety honestly. Which is why I’m glad there’s an indie scene that attempts to experiment and innovate with all kinds of visuals that doesn’t always have anything to do with photorealism, an art style which just about every AAA game strives for nowadays when before they used to be more experimental.
From the animations and camera movement, it looks a lot like MGS, to the point I wonder if it’s some kind of hack of the same engine.
I’m quite sure it has better fire effects than AC: Valhalla.
I’ve read several just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot effort you place to create this kind of great informative website.
