Last month, I shared a cool project that aims to recreate Diablo 2 in first-person using Unreal Engine 5. So, time now to get another look at it as “I Make Games” has shared two new videos for it.
The first video gives us a glimpse at The Forgotten Tower. It also shows off some Ice Blast and Blizzard effects. In the second video, we get to see the Butcher from the first Diablo game.
What’s interesting here is that the YouTuber has removed all of his references to releasing the project to the public. Instead, he now describes it as a fan concept that aims to give people an idea of what a modern take on Diablo in first-person could look like. It’s a bummer we may never get the chance to try it. On the other hand, I understand why the artist has made this change.
Anyway, if you are a Diablo fan, you should definitely check them out. As always, make sure to keep in mind that this project is created by one artist. Therefore, it won’t look as polished as a full Diablo remake from Blizzard. It’s also a WIP, meaning that it still has placeholder visuals and audio.
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.
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. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
