Now here is something interesting. YouTube’s ‘Julian Uccetta’ is currently porting Fallout 3 to Unreal Engine 5.7. This project aims to allow you to experience the original Fallout 3 game with the lighting benefits of Unreal Engine 5.7.
While this project is still in a very early phase, Uccetta shared a video for it. This video packs 7 minutes of gameplay footage from it. As such, it can give you a glimpse at its current state.
As I said, this project aims to port Fallout 3 to Unreal Engine 5. It does not make any changes to its in-game assets. This will most likely please some die-hard Fallout 3 fans who have been asking for something like this. Not only that, but for a one-man project, it looks mighty impressive.
From what we can see, this Fallout 3 fan remaster already features fully functional gameplay mechanics. In the video, we can see the player using the Pip-Boy, interacting with the world, opening doors, and looting items. As a result, this fan project appears to be further along in development than the UE5 fan remasters of Skyrim and Morrowind.
The YouTuber achieved this using a plugin system he has been developing called Gamebryo Unreal. The tool is designed to allow older Gamebryo-based Bethesda titles, from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to Fallout: New Vegas (and eventually The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4), to be easily ported to Unreal Engine by simply opening the project and selecting the location of the game’s data files.
It’s also worth noting that a test build is available for download. However, access to it is locked behind a Ko-fi paywall, so you’ll need to make a donation to try it. Hopefully, a free public version will be released at some point in the future.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, I recommend trying out these other free fan-made demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. For Mario fans, we have this cool Super Mario Galaxy Tech Demo in Unreal Engine 5.
And that’s not all. There is a cool remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5 that you can download. Or how about this free Attack on Titan game? Then we have the fan remakes for Dino Crisis 2, Super Mario Galaxy, and MediEvil 2. Plus, there is an amazing fan remake of Sonic Adventure 2, called Sonic Adventure 2 Redux. Oh, and let’s not forget the amazing ports of Skyrim and Oblivion.
Owners of high-end GPUs can also try these three tech demos. The first one features a Witcher-like environment. The second shows off a Rome Italian Town. The third is the Venice Tech Demo we shared a few days ago. We also have a demo of King’s Field 2 in UE5, as well as a remake of Konami’s canceled PT. Finally, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, a remake of Flappy Bird, a demo for Need for Speed: Underground 2, and a Diablo 2 Remake Demo. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
