YouTuber Manish D3mon has recreated the T-Rex cutscene from the original Tomb Raider in Unreal Engine 5. It’s a great recreation that will likely put a smile on the faces of many Tomb Raider fans. So, let’s take a look at it.
In the video, the YouTuber breaks down the entire process of remaking this cutscene in UE5. I’m sure most of you won’t really care about the technical details, so I’ve timestamped the video to the point where the actual UE5 cutscene begins. If the timestamp doesn’t work, just skip to the 13:48 mark.
As always, you should temper your expectations. For a one-man project, this fan remake looks cool. Still, there are some issues here and there, especially with Lara’s animations. Again, for a one-man project, it looks great. At least in my opinion.
Manish D3mon has only recreated this scene from Tomb Raider Anniversary. So, no. This isn’t a fan remake of Tomb Raider in UE5 that you can try. Still, it’s something cool to see on the weekend.
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!
