Was this played on pc ? it look amazing
Ghost at 13.33. Look sharp or you miss it.
What game is this?
@@user-wi6cz4hh5b walking through London in about 1880
Great! But just one minor thing. London post boxes weren't painted red until 1874. They would've been sage green in 1868, but the hexagonal shape is spot on .
Yep I thought that to .wrong colour.
😂 Nice one.
Love the way he's just walking through people and bumping into them like the Bitter Sweet Symphony video.
I’d love to see London at Christmas during this period.
Yes, complete with carol singers and snow. A proper Christmas!
It would not have been a universal holiday in 1860s. In many ways it was evolving. The population in the cities was increasing. A new middle class were influenced by images of what the Royal family were doing at Christmas .
Just watch Muppets Christmas Carol.
Probably the same, but with snow 😊
Just visit modern day Hitchen town centre at Christmas..... same thing
Great way to escape the modern world for a short period of time
Better to have a walk in the forrest.
@@patrik1684A walk in the woods is good too ❤
The visuals are very clever, period dress, the buildings, horse buses etc. The big let down for me is the daft background audio of people only hurling hate and threats to each other. I dare say in London in 1868 people were also to be heard saying hello to each other, asking how each other is, and passing small talk. The Cockney accents are bordering on ' dodgy' ....they all sound like Dick Van Dyke out of Mary Poppins.
It's crazy isn't it! and I'm a Geordie
And the guy looks like Bill Sykes. It's absolutely stunning nevertheless. I know London reasonably well and the buildings and pavements and kerb stones all look like the ones from the period that still exist. What I think is sometimes missed in reconstructions from the past is that many of the things that still exist now and look very old would have looked brand new then.
I'm a Londoner and I think it looks fantastic. Would have been nice to hear a couple of "Gertchas" though.
It is visually impressive. Could do with a few heaps of horse dung added to the cobbled streets though for extra authenticity.
Visuals are good but need more horse manure on the ground. The paper boys yelling 1 p was not accurate either.
For everyone here who is so confused saying ‘how is this possible?!’ and ‘can you choose to do any walk in human history anywhere?’ Sorry everyone but no it’s because this guy is playing a video game from a franchise called assassins creed. This one (syndicate) in particular, is set in Victorian London in 1868. With it also being an open free roam world, that’s what makes it seem so realistic. Your welcome
If they made a walk animation of any time in history or indeed the perceived future it would really be popular.
Yeah. But that doesn't explain how it's possible.
I'd love a game that I could walk on other cities, other centuries, talk to people, make friends, go to their houses, know how they live. It's like having another life. Why game companies don't create simulations like that ? 🙏👍💥
@@RegnaSaturna Preservation by heritage professionals, research by historians, and animation by artists.
Big part of the realism is the abundance of game HUD such health meters, coins, map navigator, points etc.
This was brilliant to watch
The only thing which might make it even more realistic is having more groups of people such as adults with children or friends together. It seems to be just single individuals on the streets.
How about being able to enter any building, and do stuff? Go into pubs and order a mug of ale. Go to Chinatown and enter an opium den and have a smoke.
They don't bother putting children in the game unless it's a character.. All.these games are rubbish. Only ones worth playing are 2, brotherhood and blackflag
WoW... 1868...!! 'Way before my late Grandad was born (in July, 1894) ...
A fascinating experience.
Thankyou for sharing this.😮
👍😊🏴♥️🇬🇧🙂🖖
My Grandmother was born in London 1894 , a different world indeed
My great aunt was born in 1899 or 1901. I feel so delayed. 😢
@@brexitgreens
My (obviously now late - and she actually died in 1960 from a heart condition) _Nan_ - my late _Mum's_ Mum, was born in 1900
...so six years my late Granddad's junior...
It seems odd to hear of people _within my own living memory_ having been born in the early twentieth century (my Mum was born in March 1917) but of course, my maternal Grandparents were born at the end of the _nineteenth century_ ...!
Even my own children (or should I now refer to them as 'my offspring', as they are all three well past their 'childhood'!!) were born in the twentieth century (in 1988 and 1993).
Viewing various videos, reading different comments here on TH-cam, I see that many "youngsters" were born after 2000, and 2001, etc and even _that_ just seems so strange - plus of course, it brings home my own 'advancing years', which _my body_ agrees with, but _my mind_ says, "No... Surely not?" How can this be?!"
Then, of course I have so many memories so, yes, I do now feel as if I am "flipping _ancient_ !!"
oh well, c'est la vie?!! 🤔🏴💜🇬🇧🤭🖖
It's lovely seeing London so English. I want to play this game now & walk around some more landmarks, I live in London so its home from home, but this version is much nicer than the real thing now.
Couldn’t agree more
2:09 Yeah.... The open drains, tripping over dead animals, disease ... The good old days. Remember them? 😌
@@nickr573 dead animals? You mean the meat markets?
@@nickr573yeah....child labour, no woman's rights, no antibiotics where people die of tooth abscesses, starvation.
But the above are essentially they like to see only white people. Hahahaha
You still have everyone you see screaming threats constantly at each other though.
Watching this gives me a strange comfort.
That will be the horses everywhere! More tranquil than modern traffic! Hard to imagine these days! 😂
I'd be surprised to see a bloke with a cameraman following him
Stunning, simply beautiful, magical.... If the images are shocking realistic, the sound effects are no less. I really felt like walking across XIX century London! Congrats from Belo Horizonte city, MG, Brazil...
Muito obrigado 🙌
"If the images are shocking realistic..."
They are not.
wow assassins creed looks awesome. love to immerse myself in this world
Felt like I was actually there brilliant really enjoyed thanks
Very fascinating viewing, I do wish there was more contrast though of well dressed people. If you look at original Victorian archives of photographs I am always impressed at how well the average person dressed. Neat white aprons on children and starched linen etc. Also, as someone else pointed out so many examples of people threatening each other like they are in a pub brawl not balanced by normal conversation. London has lots of green squares and parks which would have been nice to feature.
Well done love it so relaxing !! Beautiful game assassins creed ! What great city to walk about in at the time , !!! the time and effort you have put into doing this is outstanding thank you so so much…..
Fascinating re-creation, though a little bit sinister. The walker looks a bit like Bill Sykes. I do wonder whether all the streets would have had pavements with kerbs . . .
Its a little known fact, but everyone in Victorian London was constantly threatening one another.
Beautiful! the time Machine! I got the wrong place of birth and time! 😁 London at the end of the 19th century was my ideal place! Although from the novels I've read about London, I imagine it to be very young, with lots of happy kids, lots of laughter and a more optimistic atmosphere. But it's very well done, congratulations!
Looks very realistic to me although the distance from St Mary in the Strand to Trafalgar Square seemed too short.
I actually thought that the church was St Clement Danes - and that for some reason St Mary Le Strand had been omitted.
From an English sentimental nostalgic viewpoint, it appears the Golden Age of Victorian England was from about 1880 to 1913. It's not all roses as most would admit but they would still be fascinated living in that time frame to experience it. For Americans, our closest analog would be New York City or Boston in that same time line.
Even with all the problems of the Victorian era,they're nothing compared to now. I'd love to go back and see this era and maybe stay for a while.
Yeah child labour, rampant un checked child abuse, child mortality, disease, filth, pollution, children sold into slavery, no women's rights and domestic abuse perfectly acceptable, work houses, homeless kids of all ages...I can go in and on if you wish?
@@mrp9023 Give it 2 years, you'll see how silly your comment looks.
You will also bring back smallpox, cholera, typhus and syphillis to the present, you'll have to be quarantined for a a very long time to make sure the diseases have run their course with you and no longer a carrier.
@@colinvespa4709 True there's that risk,but if my time travel somehow made me immune that'd be worth the traveling.
@@colinvespa4709 Nice police booth in your user image.
The sledgehammer of reality.. Victorian Style.love it
Impressive....but surely not everyone snarled or was angry back then!
Agreed - the visuals are striking (though how close they are to how how it actually would have been is difficult to say). Lots of abusive language about - I'm pretty sure there were nice things being said too. Not much litter about.
@nowhereman There is film available from 1800s in London on YT. My ancestors are Londoners. Times were harsh but it was still possible to get an education if you paid a modest sum, unhindered by modern day leftists driven state “education”.
As an ex costume and set designer, couldn't fault it! The men's clothes could ve been fashionable in 1968🧐Looks like Bill Sykes looking for Nancy!😄
Love this. Time traveller great graphics and colour.
33 years on, 1902, Jack London wrote "People of the Abyss.". This film would make a nice companion piece for that book.
There was hardship, but in reality you'd see smiling and hear cheery talk or laughter quite often. You'd hear people singing and whistling as they worked, which went on right up till the 1960s. They had things like barrel organs on street corners too.
lol yes, in the 1980s I remember there were some old people who would whistle while they worked, and it was annoying lol.
@@dariusanderton3760 I often do that. And I agree it's very annoying. Thankfully nobody else complains.
It amazes me how many people don’t realize that this is a video game. J thought everyone was aware of the existence of this franchise. I guess not.
no cars. Paradise.
Do you support electric cars?
Just a ton of horse shit!
Don't worry, live another 20yrs you might get your wish!
But tons of horse manure on the roads and footpaths - complete with smell.
You have no idea what life was like back then do you? 😂😂😂😂😂
Just imagine being a time traveller with a beat box on your shoulder belting out music. The looks you would get!
I'd love to travel back in time to this era and take some Motown or something to get them all ''dancing in the street''
Fascinating to watch, cool to see Temple Bar in situ! ❤
The first tube line opened up in 1863.
Who is this strange, solitary, unspeaking Englishman purposefully striding the 1868 mean streets of London? His clothing seems anachronistic, as if he were dressed more for 1848. He has a slight look of the sailor as if he served on British merchant marine commercial vessels.
He looks to be in his mid-to-late 20s, the prime of his life. His height is about 5'10" at minimum but no more than 6'0". His build is mesomorph athletic and he looks more than capable of defending himself even against more than one ruffian or hooligan who is foolish enough to accost him. More, he is probably concealing weapons under his thick seaman's coat. He probably brandishes a large Bowie knife for primary defense and a much smaller back-up knife for last-ditch defense and as a tool. He might also be carrying a small pocket pistol for extreme instances of self-defense. He is not leaving his personal defense solely up to his fists. Look at his left forearm. It is protected by a heavy, decorated sleeve probably of stiff leather reinforced with pieces of decorative metal. It is a forearm defense against assailant knives and cane swords. His right arm appears to have some kind of reinforcement at the back of the elbow. It could be a round piece of metal intended for striking back at assailants at very close range. He is clearly prepared for fighting yet clearly does not invite confrontation. That is not his purpose. His purpose is something else clandestine and important but one that might require physical altercation.
One imagines he is not poor. On the contrary, he likely carries a good amount of paper money and gold and silver coins in his pockets. When evening falls, he will avail himself of a decent quality tavern or inn for a hearty dinner then a modest, small but clean room and bed for the night. He could spend more but by nature he is frugal but not miserly with himself.
Who he is, what is his name, and what is his purpose other than aimlessly striding about London has yet to be revealed.
An excellent description
Though he strides in an industrious fashion, unfortunately, his determination is futile. We cannot yet determine whether or not avatars experience emotion or even consciousness, but nevertheless, he will continue to walk aimlessly long after we have departed this earth. Sadly, or joyously perhaps, he will continue his lonely journey for all eternity. We can but wish him well ....
Amazing, its like a time machine.
Absolutly incredible. Yo just made me go back 150 years, away fron this shit epoque of madness. Love it. Thanks.
Akyn to bein in + seing a wierd 'time~slip'!,🥹& expected to hear Cockney tones,+also London'slang'😏
This was before Blair opened the flood gates 😢
The good old days when us Brits colonised other countries...and when Brits colonise you, you know you've been colonised!
Oh dear, it didn't take long to find a comment like this.
You have no idea what life was like for most back then do you 😂😂😂😂
@@mrp9023The workhouses.
@@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness. Better than the grooming gangs raping tens of thousands of young English girls. You like that.
Absolutely fantastic. Seems very realistic. Would love to have experienced it for real.
1. Womens' clothes at beginning don't look so 1868 with no petticoats, but in later better n'hoods, you see large petticoats; 2) Mens' hats-derbies and Peaky Blinders-look more 1885. 3) Some upper floors of buildings look French Second Empire mansard roofs: NOT 1868; 4) hanging baskets on street lamps not 1868, 5) No telegraph wires along the streets 6) Wa National Gallery at Trafalgar Square in 1868? Cheers.
I am like you,a stickler for details. If you're going to put so much effort into a game at least research the period accurately
Doesn't seem too Londonesque until you glance at St. Paul's and Trafalgar Square, but clearly there is ambiguity to detail versus the period in question.
Definitely not enough coughing and smoking
This is awesome! One of the most
amazing creations I’ve ever seen!
What would be the best ever idea:
Do another set in 1888 in Whitechapel on a tour of the (now demolished) Jack the Ripper murder sites!
It would attract millions of viewers!
this is brilliant, not a jihadist in sight
Or Boris 'fucking Johnstone '..thank god?
Yes no Asians afro carribeans in sight this is when Britain was great
@@alexanderbrydone9873 Nah! Asians and Afro Caribbeans are the lifeblood of this country!🙂
Yall watch too much tv 😂
@@AllthewayupG Queen Victoria ❤️
What's missing from the scene and i was unaware of it was the lack of horses and horse droppings the roads were covered in the stuff really covered and no matter how they tried it was a major problem only saved by the health to it's citizens by the motor car
What I this based on, maps, photos, architectural plans? I am a purist and want to know how accurate it is
WHAT ,,,, NO KEBAB SHOPS , NO HALAL BUTCHERS , WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO.

@@bbbf09 Why are you here, darling? Certainly not to reminisce.
Love the pidgins flying. Nice feature.
I wish Rockstar would make a game taking place in Victorian times like how they did with RDR2. It would be so fu@king amazing 👏 and imagine you can kill the infamous Jack the Ripper! 😮
I imagine it as a more polluted and smoggy place
...only in the East End
AMAZING video ❤
He’s walking quite quickly…
Going back in a Time Machine and following some with your iPhone. Great no tourists, they are all very aggressive and ready to fight 😂
There were so many thousands of German immigrants living in this part of east London at this time that it was nicknamed Little Germany. So it would have been nice to have seen some German bakeries, street bands, bookmakers and sugar factories. But anyway it looks terrific.
The people who built the greatest empire the world has ever seen 🇬🇧
What, the American Empire?
@@Vroomfondle1066 no American empire doh!
Actually no. And it's all over now.
@@Vroomfondle1066 no American was owned by the British. Silly 😏
Yeah i known exactly that silly lol.
All that walking and he never found the Gents.
Ahhh.....1868. A London with no Pisslam in sight!
No male supremacist flags either 🏳️⚧️
I just replied to a crazy man who said all Ubisoft games are lifeless lol. this is an Ubisoft game (Assassin Creed Syndacate) does it look like the world they recreated is lifeless? lol. It's incredible isn't it?
Anyway you should have looked around a bit more to show the courtyards the gardens the small roads where you can walk too.
now just get rockstar to turn this into grand theft london
The next gta game, after gta 6 should be in London and surrounding countryside. Its been too long since we have had a gta based in london.
This is amazing, with few innacuracies or inconsistencies
But Trafalgar Square in this video seems very different from how I think it would have looked in 1868. I think for example that Smirke’s building on the west side of the square had already been built by 1868 but it does not appear in the video. Also I think Northumberland House was still standing in 1868. But I couldn’t see it.
I love the Trafalgar Square scenes
Have you slept there?
The streets were a lot more crowded than that - horse and cart traffic jams, etc. seems a decent simulation otherwise. The lions around Nelson's Column should look newer given that they were installed only in the previous year (1867).
Looks like Hawksmoor churches. Outstanding, could watch for hours.
And you can walk almost anywhere you like without encountering a violence gang 😅
If you listen carefully you hear very aggressive people everywhere
Are you joking? There was plenty of violence in Victorian London. Just google it! We live in violent times even today, things don’t change much. Trouble today though, there’s not much of a deterrent. Then, they flogged them or hanged them. Rehabilitation is best if it can be achieved.
@arriesone1 of course, I was referring to how he's walking through the game with very little trouble. If it was the same time era, in real life, I'm sure there would have been a few streets off limits.
Update, London early August 2024, can I borrow your time machine to go back to 18..whenever, please!?
Same
Enjoy pressganging, polio, the great stink, Jack the Ripper, syphilis, leeching, dying without antibiotics, open sewers, no radio, no telly, no iPhone, no Netflix, but hey, no darkies either so it’s all worthwhile 🙄
@@juniper150 Couldn't have put it better myself.
now i got to buy the game lol
Hogging the path, I think he time traveller from the Verve
Looks a lot more appealing than today.
I'd like to go there and talk to famous people. In the future, it will be possible to have all centuries and people available. ❤
💥 I'd love to stay all day long walking there and meeting other people, talking with them, making friends, going to their houses, having another life on that and other centuries. Would be amazing ! ❤
So clever thank-you
Dog's, dead horses,nightsoil,rats....
Absolutely brilliant
The pavements look much better in 1868 and no potholes!
Ah - now that brings back memories
The thing they have got massively wrong here is the cleanliness of the roads (and pavements. There are many accounts of Victorian roads being covered in a massive layer of horse dung - literally many inches deep. It was a real problem and this was the era of peak horse ownership and numbers.
What type of shoes would it take to survive a walk on such pavements?
The roads look pretty similar to how they are now.
This game should be renamed 'Cockney Wankers'.
'Ave a word
Your after a slap
Wow , look at that horse and trap fly at 19:27 , fleeing from the rozzers obviously !
Alot of the signs look like they are electrified but when did illyminated signs arrive, far later surely
christ seemed a dangerous place to live back then .I'm glad I live in the 21st century
-Feels like I'm actually back in time!
Where is all the horse dung in the streets? Too sanitised, it's not the 21st Century.
Dung was collected very quickly before it dried out, and sold on. Even ash was collected and sifted through. Even old cigar butts were collected and either sold on or remade into other cigars. Poverty meant nothing was wasted.
I thought the same thing...
Most of this has got to be guess work surely? 1868? Grandad wasn’t born then, and I’m 62!
Thanks Lucy Worsley
Yeah...we uumans just don't live long enough. My dad was born in '33 and I remember him telling me stories from his parents. But even they would've been born around 1890's-1900. He remembered the horse-drawn carriages and the shit in the streets though!
Yep. This is in a video game based around 1868.
Truly fascinating...
He looking for a Macdonald's 🍔🍟
I would be looking for Tesco Express on the corner of Whitehall opposite Trafalgar Square.
EXCELLENT
Some of those streets look far too wide!
this
Not enough slum quarters and open culverts (gutter rivers).
@@brexitgreens Yes, that as well.
Everybody threatening everybody? Really ?
How long did it take to put up all these buildings. How was it done and who started and completed most of it. Untold history.
In the game or in real life?
Only the fittest survived those days...i wouldn't have lastest 5 minutes!! Ps. Well done!!
as good as it is, would be awesome in VR
Not a black man or a Muslim anywhere. Just about everyone British Happy days !!!!
That is just what I was thinking 😂. But then you also had a %60 infant mortality rate and Dickensian poverty.
No, but we were all over countries where muslims and black men came from weren't we? Perhaps if we hadn't had such a prodigious and glorious empire we might not be reaping the bountiful reward of immigration...
I think I saw Jim Davidson at one point 😮
@@johnjobs3027is this part of a video game?
@Vroomfondle1066 not really, no mass immigration of whites to drastically change any of those cultures took place. How much different is India today, demographically than it was during the 19th century? Not very... countries that were sparely populated like Australia was transformed yes but the ones like India of African countries it was more of a business & trade thing. Countries that already had a long-term term civilisation were pretty much allowed to continue unlike the Spaniards who wanted to catholicise the whole population.
The closest we will get to time travel! So a privilege. But none of us alive today can know how close to reality it is. Yes a lot of single walkers but lovely!
We will get closer thither.
When buildings and streets were beautiful.
É fascinante ❤
Some of the punters have had their Readybrek.
1868 had cholera, TB, and high infant mortality, but still better than 2024.
Yet no lockdowns... funny how we're all here today.
