	'''''Devils of the Caribbean''''' was a 2014 feature film ~~produced~~ by [[Abstergo Entertainment]]~~. Like the video game~~ ''[[~~Pirates of Nightmares~~]]''~~, ''Devils'' was made using footage sourced from an~~ [[Noob~~\|Abstergo research analyst]]~~'s ~~[[Animus\|Animus Omega~~]] ~~sessions reliving~~ the [[Piracy\|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory\|genetic memories]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[~~Noob~~'s ~~personal files~~]]: "Abstergo ~~Entertainment~~: Devils ~~of the Caribbean Teaser~~"</ref>		'''''Devils of the Caribbean''''' was a 2014 feature film made by [[Abstergo Entertainment]]<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Noob's personal files]]: "Abstergo Entertainment: Devils of the Caribbean Teaser"</ref> using doctored footage sourced from the [[Piracy\|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory\|genetic memories]],<ref name="AC4BF">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref> though it was considered a {{Wiki\|box-office bomb}}.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' - [[Database: 03.

	However, as with ''Pirates of Nightmares'' and ~~Abstergo's 2012 video game~~ ''[[Liberation]]'', the final product was heavily censored and modified, omitting all traces of the [[Assassins]] or the [[Observatory (Isu)\|Observatory]] from Kenway's recovered memories.<ref name="AC4BF"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]<~~/~~ref~~> ''Devils'' fared poorly upon release, ~~being described as~~ "a frightful mess of clichés, dime-store moralizing, and pandering stereotypes" ~~according to Abstergo's own [[Helix\|Helix Team]] Virtual Entertainment eXposition Press Training document~~.<ref name="ACU"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' - [[Database: 03.

			In 2014, Abstergo Industries' multimedia subsidiary [[Abstergo Entertainment]] hired an [[Noob\|research analyst]] to work on the [[Sample 17 Project]] and look for historical material in the late [[Desmond Miles]]' [[Animus host\|genetic ancestry]] to create marketable material. Seeing a potential lead in Kenway's life during the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], Entertainment's {{Wiki\|Chief creative officer\|CCO}} [[Olivier Garneau]] tasked the analyst with reliving his life in the [[Animus\|Animus Omega]] and recording their findings for Abstergo to clean up for public release. However, as with the company's video games ''[[Pirates of Nightmares]]'' (2013) and ''[[Liberation]]'' (2012), the final product was heavily censored and modified, omitting all traces of the [[Assassins]] or the [[Observatory (Isu)\|Observatory]] from Kenway's recovered memories.<ref name="AC4BF"/> ''Devils'' fared poorly upon release, with even internal Abstergo training documents forced to admit that it was "a frightful mess of clichés, dime-store moralizing, and pandering stereotypes".<ref name="ACU"/>

	By the 2090s, the film poster's image file,<ref>''[[Animus Hub]]'' – [[Database: Devils Release Poster]]</ref> its trailer video file,<ref>''Animus Hub'' – [[Database: Devils Movie Trailer]]</ref> and the movie itself had all ~~suffered such severe {{Wiki\|data degradation}}~~ that Abstergo tried to ~~salvage~~ them by running the few surviving ~~bits~~ through ~~{{Wiki\|~~generative AI}} and re-released it as "The Devils of the Caribbean" ~~with~~ a ~~rumored~~ $1.5 billion budget. However, the ~~outputs were~~ nowhere near close to what had first been made, going so far as to wholly alter scenes and replace [[Adéwalé]] with an [[Ireland\|Irishwoman]] {{Wiki\|original character}} as the ''[[Jackdaw]]''{{'}}s {{Wiki\|quartermaster}}, and the ~~resulting product~~ was critically panned even worse than the original. An aggregate review said it felt like bad corporate fanfiction made as a "soulless cash grab" due to its overdone tropes, a barely sensible plot, lackluster voice-acting by the entire cast, and inexplicably poor CGI more akin to {{Wiki\|Sixth generation of video game consoles\|early 2000s gaming consoles}} than contemporary big-budget films. It ultimately deemed the whole thing "an overwrought, incoherent slog", and suggested that readers watch the original instead, as bad as it also was.<ref~~>''Animus Hub'' – [[Database: Devils Movie Review (it's bad)]]<~~/~~ref~~>		By the 2090s, the film poster's image file,<ref>''[[Animus Hub]]'' – [[Database: Devils Release Poster]]</ref> its trailer video file,<ref>''Animus Hub'' – [[Database: Devils Movie Trailer]]</ref> and the movie itself had all digitally deteriorated so much that Abstergo tried to restore them by running the few surviving parts through generative AI and re-released it as "The Devils of the Caribbean",<ref name="DevilsReview"/> which they billed as a dystopian VR thriller.<ref name="DevilsMarketing"/> Rumored to have a $1.5 billion budget,<ref name="DevilsReview"/> a leaked company document gave some credence to this theory by revealing that Abstergo allotted $100 million for an intrusive, global publicity campaign targeting the youth demographic. It detailed how the company would hijack VR and Animus users' sessions with short, unskippable ''Devils'' ads; hire expensive {{Wiki\|internet personality\|internet personalities}} and {{Wiki\|virtual influencer}}s to promote the film with ad {{Wiki\|reaction video}}s; post interactive ''Devils''-themed memes artificially induced for virality in the {{Wiki\|metaverse}} and social media platforms; open a VR filmography contest whose winners would cameo in a presumed sequel; and contract an {{Wiki\|industry plant}} to make a ''Devils''-themed {{Wiki\|Single (music)\|single}}, the music video of which would feature film scenes.<ref name="DevilsMarketing"/>

			However, despite all these promotions, the AI-spawned film was nowhere near close to what had first been made, going so far as to wholly alter scenes and replace [[Adéwalé]] with an [[Ireland\|Irishwoman]] {{Wiki\|original character}} as the ''[[Jackdaw]]''{{'}}s {{Wiki\|quartermaster}}, and the film was critically panned even worse than the original.

			In 2014, Abstergo Industries' multimedia subsidiary [[Abstergo Entertainment]] hired an [[Noob\|research analyst]] to work on the [[Sample 17 Project]] and look for historical material in the late [[Desmond Miles]]' [[Animus host\|genetic ancestry]] to create marketable material. Seeing a potential lead in Kenway's life during the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], Entertainment's {{Wiki\|Chief creative officer\|CCO}} [[Olivier Garneau]] tasked the analyst with reliving his life in the [[Animus\|Animus Omega]] and recording their findings for Abstergo to clean up for public release. However, as with the company's video games ''[[Pirates of Nightmares]]'' (2013) and ''[[Liberation]]'' (2012), the final product was heavily censored and modified, omitting all traces of the [[Assassins]] or the [[Observatory (Isu)\|Observatory]] from Kenway's recovered memories.<ref name="AC4BF"/> ''Devils'' fared poorly upon release, with even internal Abstergo training documents forced to admit that it was "a frightful mess of clichés, dime-store moralizing, and pandering stereotypes".<ref name="ACU"/>

	By the 2090s, the film poster's image file,<ref>''[[Animus Hub]]'' – [[Database: Devils Release Poster]]</ref> its trailer video file,<ref>''Animus Hub'' – [[Database: Devils Movie Trailer]]</ref> and the movie itself had all ~~suffered such severe {{Wiki\|data degradation}}~~ that Abstergo tried to ~~salvage~~ them by running the few surviving ~~bits~~ through ~~{{Wiki\|~~generative AI}} and re-released it as "The Devils of the Caribbean" ~~with~~ a ~~rumored~~ $1.5 billion budget.

An aggregate review said it felt like bad corporate fanfiction made as a "soulless cash grab" due to its overdone tropes, a barely sensible plot, lackluster voice-acting by the entire cast, and inexplicably poor CGI more akin to {{Wiki\|Sixth generation of video game consoles\|early 2000s gaming consoles}} than contemporary big-budget films.
