I don't think that the creator showing a video during a talk he does counts as a leak...

Elixist · Apr 30, 2016

Looks like AC meets Wild, seems interesting.

The Dutch Slayer · Apr 30, 2016

Ow man as a Dutch this makes me so hyped to bad the project will never be

Eolz · Apr 30, 2016

That's an interesting TGF, impressive he managed to record that.
I don't think it would have worked.

My thoughts. Along with more magic in general such as attacks.

were they allowed to record it?

-MB- · Apr 30, 2016

Could it be anymore stereotypical...

Net_Wrecker · Apr 30, 2016

I'm.... not sure what I just watched.

Hope it gets made eventually though, if only to see what the concept would be in full.

Tatsumi Oga · Apr 30, 2016

This is that title from Patrice Desilets isn't it?

Daredevil.shark · Apr 30, 2016

Looks like ac is mixed with wild. Not bad. But nothing special.

Ashtar · Apr 30, 2016

Dutch master the game but you play as the devil, short clip but looked interesting I suppose there would be real objectives and missions besides causing anarchy in the streets and being a jerk

Yes, everyone can film and take pics here at Reboot.

Gloam · Apr 30, 2016

Oh, 666, that's silly. The intro with the paintings was pretty good, nice vision behind it. Wonder if the game will resurface at some point.

Yeah, the body swap mechanic gameplay and combat seemed to be nothing new, but I'd rather have played this version of 'nothing special' than every AC after II. (bar the ship sections of Black Flag.)

Stilton Disco · Apr 30, 2016

So it was a game about a 17th century cane wielding Dutch wizard and his animal friends larging it in Amsterdam?

Why didn't this get made again? Also, doesn't he have the rights to this back? Because I now really want this!

Didn't get made because THQ imploded.

And yes, Patrice has the rights for the project again. But he's working on a different game now,

I'd spend hours just fucking with people as a cat

smuf · Apr 30, 2016

I love that they used Jacques Brel - Le Port d'Amsterdam

Ah thanks for the clarification.

Always-honest · Apr 30, 2016

Whatever, shit looks amazing.
Would be cool for me to walk around in Amsterdam.

snoopeasystreet · Apr 30, 2016

It looks incredibly assassins creedy. Could have been cool though.

Phamit · Apr 30, 2016

You Can See why Ubisoft bought and then dumped it

Paasei · Apr 30, 2016

Big shame it will never get released now. Wasn't there a result not too long abo about giving the rights back from Ubisoft to the original creator/designer?

As a Dutch person myself, I am ofcourse already a bit biased in that I was really looking forward to this game.

Tatsumi Oga · Apr 30, 2016

A shame, finally a game taking place in my country would be really cool. Shame Getaway Amsterdam was never made.

kruis · Apr 30, 2016

I'd have loved a recreation of 17th century Amsterdam and I'd have ignored the ridiculous number of windmills cluttering the landscape.

rockman zx · Apr 30, 2016

Looks very interesting, I hope he can make it in the next 5 years.

GasProblem · Apr 30, 2016

Lol at allll those windmills.

Well, Patrice just got the rights back a couple of weeks ago, and I can't imagine he did so for no reason. I expect work will restart on this once Ancestors is done with.

And what do you base that on?

NinjamicWZ · Apr 30, 2016

Yeah, that does look like it could be pretty cool.

Nokterian · Apr 30, 2016

As a dutch this looks phenomenal a shame it never came to be..patrice got the IP back but when we will see this ever again is a good question.

Krappadizzle · Apr 30, 2016

What was this game supposed to be? Looks like a mix of AssCreed w/ a possession mechanic. What was the general story pitch?

RamzaIsCool · Apr 30, 2016

Actually in many of the old Dutch prose the Devil plays a big part. Something like Mariken van Nieumeghen comes to mind, maybe it's a twist on something like that.

KooopaKid · Apr 30, 2016

"Gameplay". More like a concept video, even if it's in-game supposedly.

Easy_D · Apr 30, 2016

All I know is that I now want a game set in Amsterdam. Beautiful city.

AHA-Lambda · Apr 30, 2016

Think that looks pretty good actually

He told it to here at Reboot Develop to people he talked with in much detail.

Also, he said it in short detail during his keynote.

To the answer above, I'll add this:

Answering someone in French earlier this week, Patrice said he still intends to make the game eventually.

I think there wasn't any official pitch shared for it, just ideas.

Yonafunu · Apr 30, 2016

I mean, as someone born and raised in Amsterdam, it's a cool idea and everything, but it looks damn rough. Interested to see how this ends up.

nelsonroyale · Apr 30, 2016

Looks quite a lot more interesting than AC to be honest...

PodcastFips · Apr 30, 2016

I see lots of fog.

jesu · Apr 30, 2016

There was a video on here recently, from NVIDIA I think that showed an upcoming Ubisoft game.
(Something to do with VR I think)
It was a bird flying sequence just like in this video.

Get_craycray · Apr 30, 2016

It was being made on last gen, wasn't it?

GavinGT · Apr 30, 2016

That's a weird combination. Warging into animals in an AC-esque setting doesn't sound like a fun time to me. I can just imagine the map littered with collectibles, and most of them just boil down to "Oh, this is the one where I use x animal to do y thing".

silva1991 · Apr 30, 2016

Already looks more interesting than anything Ubi released since AC2 for me personally.
