Modder ‘DKG-Prog’ is currently working on a fan remake of the first Unreal game in Unreal Engine 4. Contrary to Unreal Redux though, which will stay as close the original material as possible, this fan remake will have custom assets and different weapons.
Now while this sounds cool, I have to say that there is something off with the following WIP screenshots. The spaceship for example is a complete mess and the remake loses all the lovely atmosphere of the original version. As said, these are WIP screenshots however they are not that impressive in my opinion. There is a lot of potential here so hopefully DKG-Prog will be able to address these issues.
Not that great, right? I mean, seriously, look at the following screenshot and please explain to me what we’re looking at? The texturing is all over the place and the spaceship looks awful.
Anyway, as said we’d love to see a remake of the first Unreal, with new custom assets, in Unreal Engine 4, however, this fan remake has major issues that need to be addressed. The good news is that it’s still in early development so hopefully its next version will look better.

Too much art direction and atmosphere change, it doesnt even remind me Unreal 1. First unreal has some unique details like beautiful and animated sky, water, and coronas, and beautiful colors. Successful remake should replicate details like that. Unreal 1 is old game but it’s piece of art, so it will be not easy to remake it and not to mention it will be not cheap. IMO only AAA developer can remake game like that successfuly
Agreed. This remake train has jumped the track imo. I didn’t feel very much like it was Unreal 1. When I first played that game back in the early 2000s it was incredible. It’s definitely one of the best games ever made.
I don’t mind touching the gem Unreal 1 is as long as the atmosphere isn’t lost. The music should stay exactly the same, as well as the sound effects.
Rebuilding the graphics is fine as long as it doesn’t deviate from the original like some shots show.
At this point someone else may as well remake or carry on the Unreal series, since Epic and their buddy Chinese friend TC are only interested in one game and one game only.
stop posting garbage user remakes. enough of your UE4 fetish and obsession.
Indeed. This was getting a bit tired, a while ago already.
wait… stop the “garbage”, not the good ones.
nope. there are hardly any good ones out there.
most of these remakes which this site’s author John craves for are not worthy of publishing. he just blindly makes articles on ue4 remakes, just to get their attention or so. That, or he is madly obsessed with ue4.

Awful.
Ugh, Original Unreal looks way better
Horrible
Unreal Feitsh > Denuovo Fetish???
I’m sure that more talented artists would do a great job, but, yeah this looks terrible.
i think yuore so idiot and the only talent you have is suck some d*ck right ? have you idea of the difference and the art directive which is there idiot ? its Unreal4 and no problem for make it with CRY TECH too ..you dont know who that guy is able to do,
while one day you go to, go suck c*cks, which is the most talented thing you can do, not paralyzed by artists who have always ignored you, in fact write crap because he has removed your comment on YT, right? because you’re ignorant of the gaming, that’s why he removed your comment, you’re an idiot just look at your face.

Why are you posting on a fan remake if your opinion of it is so low? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until it deserved your audience’s attention?
That’s unusual for you, John.
seriously? This looks awful…plz leave original Unreal as is…its incredible!
The only great mod to it that I am eagerly waiting to play with is Unreal Redux!
