Back in March 2024, we shared a video that showcased Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park in Unreal Engine 5. That project was created by artist “Da_Drood – Digital Art”. And today, we can share with you another remake of that same location in UE5.
This latest project is from YouTube’s “EverLifeZach”. To recreate this environment, EverLifeZach used both UE5’s Nanite and Lumen. The artist made the new models in Blender and then took most of the textures that you can see here from the Quixel Library. The artist also tried to push Nanite and Lumen as much as possible, something that skyrocketed the project’s size. According to the artist, this simple scene was around 100GB in size.
The end result is really cool, so make sure to watch the video. It’s also interesting to compare it to the previous SH3 remake video (as both of them feature the same location). The first remake appears to have a better atmosphere, whereas this new one has higher-quality assets. So, I can’t really tell which one looks best. Both of them have their strengths and their weaknesses.
For those wondering, this project was made for portfolio purposes. In other words, it’s similar to the Star Wars: Republic Commando Remake we shared yesterday. Still, some Silent Hill fans may find it cool. Not only that, but the official remake of Silent Hill 2 will be using Unreal Engine 5. So, in a way, it will be interesting to compare it against these fan projects. Silent Hill 2 Remake will look better, I’m pretty sure of this, but hey… you never know.
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 days ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. 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. Earlier this month, 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 fan remaster of Unreal Gold in UE5. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9.
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 Rayman 3, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Solitude, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. 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!
