Last week, we shared a trailer from a fan remake of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Created by TeaserPlay, that trailer showcased what a modern-day remake of GTA San Andreas could look like in Unreal Engine 5. And a couple of days ago, the YouTuber released a new trailer, showing off Grand Theft Auto Vice City in Epic’s latest engine.
As the YouTuber claimed:
“I used Lumen for rendering. My point in making this video was to show how powerful Unreal Engine 5 is for making sandbox games. I also wanted to show what the remaster version of GTA Vice City should look like”
The end result is spectacular and blows the original remaster of Vice City out of the water. This is what the Definitive Edition should look like. Imagine if Rockstar actually put some effort into that compilation.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, we also suggest taking a look at the following videos. Right now, you can download a Superman Unreal Engine 5 Demo and a Spider-Man Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo. Moreover, these videos show Star Wars KOTOR and Counter-Strike Global Offensive in UE5. Additionally, you can find a Portal Remake and an NFS3 Remake. And finally, here is a Half Life 2 Fan Remake, an Oblivion fan remake, a Silent Hill fan remake, a World of Warcraft remake, a Skyrim remake, and a Zelda Ocarina of Time UE5 Remake.
Lastly, I’ve included below another UE5 fan remake, showcasing Halo Infinite in Epic’s engine. Created by Infinite Forges, this video attempts to recreate one of the levels from Halo Infinite in Unreal Engine 5. It looks cool, though not as great as the Vice City Remake, so be sure to watch it too!

I love seeing this developers embracing the technology and playing around with it. The more they do it, the better they will become.
Vice city looks absolutely gorgeous. and it kind of highlights what an injustice the GTA remasters were.
Rockstar could have easily done GTA 3 and Vice city in their current engine. Those games were small.
The walking animation in the video you posted was not good. I’m assuming that’s one of the stock walking animations?
Otherwise, kudos to these developers.
If the same developers who are still passionately laboring over Bethseda’s outdated engine can migrate to this.
THEN the future is incredibly bright
The walking animation loks like a gay dude took too much sausage the night before.
lmao, true
I heard something about “it takes one to know one”, but I don’t remember where.
LOL, jk.
I live in the west. There are fajjots everywhere in inner cities.
Wow! I almost didn’t recognize CJ. Everything here makes R* cash grab so-called remaster look foolish.
And some gamers are excited about GTA6 after that extremely poor mess of a remaster?! ???
A fool and his money!
It sure does.
If only EPIC would force these devs to use its tools to stop these loading assets/frame-pacing issues, though.
Stuttering is the BIGGEST ISSUE in gaming today and MS, Sony, EPIC, Steam and Unity need to start holding these pubs/devs accountable ASAP!
Sony has a great idea, though, by forcing the dev to deploy a trial demo “try-before-you-buy” campaign that I think all platform holders need to implement as well for starts.
Finally, eh John? After fifty thousand posts about this shltty engine, you could find one that really looks decent. Congratulations on that, sir.
I was literally gonna say this!
For once this ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD!
Brilliant, UE5 is an excellent tool for next-gen projects.
God bless Ray Liotta for his voice acting in Vice City. Top notch performance. He died yesterday at 67.
May he rest in peace.
He was also iconic in Goodfellas

Man, just to think that the next one to be desecrated is the Masterpiece know as GTA IV makes me sad.
Brilliant, #PowerOfUnrealEngine5.

I like how buildings look in ue5 lighting in this mod, rest I agree
If you don’t like it. Leave. Nobody will miss you. In fact, we will celebrate you leaving.
