In 1999, Activision made Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue for PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and PC. And now, after spending around 200 hours of work, Zachary McPhink remade this game in Unreal Engine 5.
This fan project features some environments from the game, as well as some basic gameplay mechanics. For instance, Buzz can jump, swing and push objects. There are also some platforming elements. So, this is more than your typical UE5 fan map remake.
Now as you will see, this fan remake is still a WIP. There are still some visual issues, as well as some unpolished elements. Some animations also need a bit more love. My guess is that the artist will improve all of them in future versions of it. Or at least that’s what I got from the video’s description.
Sadly, though, there is no download link for this fan remake. And, from what I know, Zachary doesn’t have any plans – at least for now – to release it to the public. After all, this appears to be a project made for portfolio purposes. Still, the artist will share a dev log on April 10th with his progress.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Oh, and don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. Earlier this month, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a fan remaster of Unreal Gold in UE5. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9.
Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Death Stranding, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Solitude, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. There is also this Studio Ghibli stylized teaser for Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5. So, lots of UE5 fan remakes, right? Well, since they’re all really cool, we suggest giving them a watch.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Very Good, i love Toy Story!!!
It’s also possible these are paid to do this by epic/ue aka guerilla marketing. I mean who knows about this site maybe there’s direct payola rather then a strategy for seo and ad dollars or both likely. Paying to create fake “real” grass roots movements is standard for the big ladyboys in all sorts of places. I don’t know but this original game might be on an abandonware site somewhere.
The original or the UE5 remake?
the original is on an abandonware site looked it up yesterday after making this comment, not going to link it here though.
I wasn’t paid to do this lol, but it is great for my portfolio. I work as a professional game designer, so I’m always looking for ways to make a splash in the field
well whoever you are, you realize we know clicks, publicity is a form of pay right? bleak future w ue5 but nice way to just get out of any interest in games made w it, keep it up.
DMCA by Activision and Disney in 3….2….1….
Why, he won’t release the game.
I mean sure, nice work and dedication…. but….
Prerequisite to creating this: Level 3 Autism (Insert meme: “I’m somewhat of an autist, myself”, but pretty mild level)
I had so much fun with this game. Rented it once and it was a great time.
Unreal engine remakes are such an interesting oddity. If you have the time and dedication to do this why not make something unique? Maybe it’s easier because there’s a clear direction and end goal. Still fun to see though.
Hi, I’m the developer of this project! I will say that I have had a steam release, and I currently work professionally as a game designer. I am using this project to build an audience that will hopefully be just as invested in a solo project compared to this
Pretty cool dude. Hope that goes well, indie stuff tends to offer some great experiences. I’m surprised your work allows room for a solo project. For me there’s always been a non-competing clause. Even tried to negotiate out of one.
With no plans to release this is effectively another tech demo.
Kingdom heart 3 has level on toy story movie

Well, fück me sideways!
Ok
Great game, played it to death when i was a kid, still years later played it on duckstation and the official PC version. The game is simple with moderate difficulty yet more enjoyable than many AAA games released these days. Wish GOG somehow makes this classic purchasable.
usual whiners on here (durka durka, fnd, Megadrive Girl) will hate it but good for the developer for achieving something the idiots on here will never manage.
lol
You cheater 😒
Games that remind me of the past make me happy and sad at the same time. My d*ck doesn’t work like it used to, I’m an old ninja now lil bros.

Some Nintendo lawyer said on an interview that he usually checks gaming news sites for fan projects to get slapped with DMCA, lawsuits, etc. Hopefully well see more nintendo lawyers brownsing this site.
I played this game back then on PS1. It was very good.
