Daniel Arriaga, a former Ubisoft and current MachineGames developer, recently posted an amazing video featuring an Unreal Engine 5 recreation of Uncharted. And, I’ll be honest here. This is one of the best fan-made recreations I’ve seen. This looks amazing. So yeah, be sure to watch the video after the jump.
To create this original adventure of Uncharted in Unreal Engine 5, Arriaga used third-party assets (like IWALS). And, as you will see, this fan game has pretty much everything. From cut-scenes and set-pieces to platforming and advanced shootout mechanics, this feels like an Uncharted game. The fact that this was also created by one person is mighty impressive.
Now I do have to say that the animations in the cut-scenes could have been better. Nathan’s posture in the first cut-scene also feels kind of off. Still, for a one-man project, this looks incredible.
Arriaga has created this Uncharted game in UE5 for portfolio purposes. As such, there is no download link for it. I also don’t expect the artist to ever release this “demo”. So no, don’t get your hopes up. You won’t be able to play it. Still, you can watch a full playthrough of it below.
This is the second most impressive UE5 project we shared this month. A few days ago, we shared an amazing fan remake video of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in Unreal Engine 5.
If you’re into Unreal Engine 5, you’ve got to check out these other awesome fan video remakes. There are 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. 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 Most Wanted, 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, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Skyrim’s Whiterun. 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!

Everything is being remade in UE5 and wowing fans, but then when you actually try to play a UE5 game and it’s full of stutters it’s more like: https://media2.giphy.com/media/5OW9D8sfzccttn3MwL/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
Indeed. As they say, “every rose has it’s thorns”
UE5 just has some nasty thorns.
Banishers has been the first UE5 game where I can sit down and not suffer from the burdening weight of UE5s issues.
Because sure, the engine can render some insane graphics, but it has way too many downsides (like running sub 720p on consoles, what is that about?!)
and blurry as hell don’t forget that!
I hate when people trash Unity.
Because the alternative is Unreal Engine, which is insanely bloated. And Godot, which is a buggy mess.
Unity might not have the best CEO, but the engine is rock solid.
I agree, so many of my favourite games are spawning from Unity. There are of course the asset flips (likewise they exist on UE) too, and there is the occasional disaster badly optimized game like Cities Skylines 2 but those are few and far between.
When I think of Unity, I think about VR and mobile phone games.
So he was a Character Art Director who was fired by Ubisoft. That’s so shocking, because this is “AAAA” animation:

just a hobby project by a single dude
“impressive”
“powered by Unreal Engine 5”
“best thing since sliced bread”

You are so rytarded. Do not post anything on the internet until you grow up.
It’s actually pretty good. but i still think the engine does far better switching over inhouse tools such as metahumans. https://youtu.be/bIGnx2jvrbg

That was really good. Right in the Uncanny Valley.
impressive for what he made there.
It lacks the polish and presentation of a Naughty Dog game, but a damn impressive effort from the developer. He certainly nailed the Uncharted vibe.
This is garbage, you guys seen the animations?
made by 1 dude for portofolio,not an entire 400 people studio.
Off course it looks rough.
Have you ever seen how games look and behave in the first months of creation?
Watch Grounded 2 for tlou2,when they had their first inside gameplay demo vs how the final game looks on ps4.
To spare you the watch,it looked 10times worse(in a meeting with designers the demo didn’t even had horse animations,a lot of clip trough materials,etc) and buggy than this 1 man project for portofolio.
Why i gave TLOU2 as example,well because from any technical point it’s masterclass in animations and realtime rendered graphics and because is relevant to this video.
Strategic thinking resembling an account-based approach – focused and impactful.
Wonderful web site Lots of useful info here Im sending it to a few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious And obviously thanks to your effort
remember me again why i hate the look and feel of every UE5 game!!
It’s the same grey washed out color palette. Most devs seem to have no intention of changing the tonemap, bloom, exposure to suit their individual project. You see one UE game, you’ve seen it all.
also obtrusive motion blur, with skin deep graphical fidelity that offers no interaction with the soulless environment
certainly like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality nevertheless I will definitely come back again
I think it looks terrible. why does garbage like this get so much praise on youtube?
My brother recommended I might like this web site He was totally right This post actually made my day You cannt imagine just how much time I had spent for this information Thanks
I simply could not go away your web site prior to suggesting that I really enjoyed the standard info a person supply on your guests Is going to be back incessantly to investigate crosscheck new posts
Cringe! Animation look like a bad joke.
