AC Syndicate - 4k Cutscene Remaster

ACS: 4K Cutscene RemasterA comprehensive AI-powered remaster of all cutscene videos to 4K 60 FPS.

About

This mod remasters the cutscenes in Assassins Creed Syndicate, leveraging AI-powered upscaling software with manual editing to make them shine on modern UHD screens. A labor of love clocking in at ~480 hours of work and around-the-clock rendering.

The Process

Inspired by the fantastic A Lot Of Videos (ALOV) for Mass Effect Legendary Edition, I wanted to apply what i learned as part of the project runner team to another game, and as i have owned Syndicate for years and never got around to playing it, it seemed like a perfect opportunity.

Reassembly, export and Delivery

Installation:

This is a manual installation, so be sure to back up the original videos.

1. Navigate to your game video directory e.g G:\Assassin's Creed Syndicate\videos 

2. backup the videos elsewhere

3. Download and extract the 7z mod file into your video folder above.

Issues?

Video desynchronisation can occur if the game does not run at a constant 60fps, and the timelapse videos are very hungry on system resources. If you see any playback performance issues take steps such as moving the install location to an SSD,  disabling VSync, increasing monitor and game refresh rates, etc. I will be experimenting with exporting settings to see if lower bitrate encoding addresses this.  Follow the mod for updates.
