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!
