YouTube’s ‘Luli Studio’ has shared two videos, showcasing almost 20 minutes of gameplay from his fan remake of Resident Evil 1 in Unreal Engine 5. So, if you are a fan of the RE games, you should definitely check them out.
Luli Studio is the same artist behind the Resident Evil 3.5 Fan Remake in Unreal Engine 5. However, contrary to that remake, the artist does not plan to release this one to the public. This was made for portfolio purposes.
In the first video, we get to see Jill Valentine exploring the iconic mansion and fighting some zombies. In the second video, we get to see Chris Redfield. The video starts by taking us deep into the heart of the Arklay Mountains and ends up inside the Spencer Massion.
Since this is a one-man project, you should obviously temper your expectations. This is not representative of what a triple-A studio can achieve in Unreal Engine 5. Still, it can give you a glimpse at what the classic RE game could look like with modern visuals and a third-person camera.
There are rumors that Capcom may be working on an official remake of the first Resident Evil game. Again, this fan remake is not representative of that. So, make sure to keep that in mind.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this cool fan remake of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Let’s also not forget 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.
In February 2024, we also shared fan remakes of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA 3, as well as an Uncharted fan game. We also have a remaster of Unreal Gold and a cool fan remake of Doom 3. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9, and this HD-2D Fan Remake for Xenogears. Moreover, here is a fantastic fan remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Yesterday, we also shared a fan remake of Doom 3 in UE5.
Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground also have some awesome fan remakes. There’s even a fan remake of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation that features Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz. But that’s not all. Fans have also made remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. A former Infinity Ward and Wargaming artist has also remastered Half-Life 2’s train station intro in Unreal Engine 5. Let’s also not forget the upcoming fan remake of Resident Evil 3.5. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.
Enjoy!
