YouTube’s EnzoElRich YT has shared a video, showcasing what a remake of GTA: San Andreas could look like in Unreal Engine 5. This is a very cool video that a lot of GTA fans may find interesting. So, be sure to check it out.

For this fan remake, the creator rebuilt the famous intro scene. To make it feel just like the original, he used the same camera angles and original character voices. You can also see CJ walking around the city, riding a bike, and driving a car.

Now, as with most fan remakes, this is made by one person. As such, you should temper your expectations. You will easily find some shortcomings and issues here and there. For instance, the walking animations for some of the NPCs are not that fluid, and they appear to be locked at 15FPS. You may also see some cars floating. With more polish, this could have looked better. Still, for what it really is, this is kind of cool.

In total, we get almost 20 minutes of gameplay. So, in a way, this is better than most of the fan remakes we’ve gotten this far. Just make sure to temper your expectations. This isn’t what a fan remake that can challenge the visuals of a next-gen GTA game.

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.

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. And if you love Zelda, there’s a really cool Studio Ghibli-style teaser for Ocarina of Time made in Unreal Engine 5. Oh, and there’s a video showing MGS2’s iconic intro in UE5.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
