3D Artist ‘Pluviophile’ has recreated Counter-Strike’s Italy map in Unreal Engine 5, and shared some screenshots and a showcase video from it. This will give you an idea of what a modern-day remake of CS could look like in UE5.
Now I know that we already got Counter-Strike 2 which is a remake of CS. However, its recreated maps come nowhere close to what you’d expect from a new triple-A game. And don’t get me wrong. CS2 does not look bad. It simply does not look like a next-gen title. And yes, this fan remake looks miles beyond what you can find in Counter-Strike 2.
Also note that this remake was created for portfolio purposes. The artist does not plan to release it to the public. So no, you won’t be able to run it on your PC systems. Still, it looks amazing and we believe it deserves the spotlight.
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. Don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. 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!

Yeah but the reason cs2 is so basic is to appeal to as many people as possible at high fps, very few have top level rigs or even modern mid levle rigs in lots of the world. Online gaming is numbers=profits, satans stat game and the gun skins etc market is crazy and everyone gets a cut. Less data lower latency max fps is an advantage in an online killathon. Eh we all know this here though, and this just another ue5 paid for clickbait right?
well yes, and also visibility is a HUGE thing also. You wouldn’t be able to see anyone on a map that busy.
Great, now Counter Strike can look like a blurry Vaseline-smeared mess…
Which monster would shoot up a pittoresque village like that.
Counter Strike players.
I don’t know about this.
CS2 looks way better to me.
This has that ugly fog and washed out look like many UE4 games.
Fun fact: You can view all CS2 maps with ray-tracing but only in Source 2 SDK. It would be nice if they could give us in game option for that.

Ironic that this remake of cs_ITALY has a french bakery and two french restaurants.
Unpopular opinion: I wish CS became more tactical over the years, instead of preserving the arcade original gameplay.
Maybe I’m just too old now for this repetitive shallow gameplay, but I just find it boring. I tried the last CS and uninstalled it after an hour.
Oh well, I can play Arma 3, Insurgency, Ready or Not and Ground Branch instead…
CS is about Skill.
Why people make these videos i dont know just like watching a cinamatic game video and judging the game play on it waste of time.
I simply enjoy the useful details you provide in your writings.

I sincerely appreciate that the website’s creator provided this amazing piece of writing here.
I loved you even more than you’ll say here. The picture is nice and your writing is stylish, but you read it quickly. I think you should give it another chance soon. I’ll likely do that again and again if you keep this walk safe.
I loved you better than you would ever be able to express here. The picture is beautiful, and your wording is elegant; nonetheless, you read it in a short amount of time.
