YouTube’s ‘TeaserPlay’ has shared a new video, showcasing a Grand Theft Auto 6 Remake in Unreal Engine 5 which looks horrendous. And while TeaserPlay used UE5’s Nanite and Lumen, this fan remake doesn’t do the engine justice.
For starters, even at 4K, there is a lot of aliasing. Everything looks blurry like someone has thrown vaseline all over the screen. There are also numerous flickering issues with distant objects, and you can see the end of the map at 1:00. So, this is basically a very small town area filled with cars and NPCs.
The biggest graphical offender though is the 1fps animation of the palm trees. These animations look horrible. Due to these low-framerate animations, there are also some awful moving shadows that can completely destroy the overall image.
Now there are some cool elements here, like the skybox and, in some scenes, the lighting. You can also tell that the artists have put some work into this (as it’s not your typical asset flipper video). Still, this could have been so much better. And, since I’m sure numerous sites will share the video with glorious headlines, we wanted to put things in their place.
TeaserPlay has recreated a lot of classic games in order to increase its audience numbers. We’ve seen concept remakes of Red Dead Revolver, Far Cry 7, Dark Souls 4, Half-Life 2 and Resident Evil 4 Remake, Fallout New Vegas, Silent Hill, Dino Crisis, Bully, God of War, Assassin’s Creed Infinity, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Grand Theft Auto III. And it’s a clever way to get more clicks, no doubt about it. However, it’s a shame that they are not putting a little more effort into their videos!

The motion blur was bad, and there was some sort of weird fringing around certain things (like hair), but I think if the motion blur was off it wouldn’t have been that bad. Most of the Unreal Engine 5 stuff that gets posted here is far worse, and it’s like you’re looking at it through a dirty window, whereas in this you can at least see some detail.
Based on the way things looked, I think they disabled the TAA and tried to use something else (possibly FXAA). Personally I’d rather they just use forward rendering (called “forward shading” in Unreal Engine 4 and 5) so that they can use MSAA, because at least then the anti-aliasing would look good. It does mean fewer light sources per scene, but as long as you don’t overdo the light sources the performance would be better than with modern deferred rendering. Granted Unreal Engine 4 and 5 don’t support screen space effects in forward shading mode, but that’s OK as Epic Games showed that you can still make a surprisingly good looking game in UE5 using their forward shading.
WTF John?
It’s a fan demo/concept, you supposedly know and love and drool over them all the time, it’s expected of it to be rough around the edges, but why would you report on it just to bash it?? Again, it’s just a fan concept!
And yeah, it looks pretty much brutal and as expected for UE5 within reason…for a fan concept.
He post a lot of garbage so for him to bash this one, it must be on another level of trash.
I would have thought so by the title, but watched the video and it was just regular stuff.
Then John is just upping his clickbait game.
yes dude gta 6 looks terrible
Negative criticism on something good is another way of generating clicks, don’t you think? Good one John.
AssetFlipAuto 6
Real question would be if it looks so “horrendous” why bother feature it at all ? I guess it’s a clever way to get more clicks, no doubt about it. However, it’s a shame that you´re not putting a little more effort into your site.
“This Grand Theft Auto 6 Fan Remake in Unreal Engine 5 looks horrendous”
How can you remake something that does not exist yet?
Ba?ta Çerkezköy, Çorlu Havaland?rma ve Kapakl? olmak üzere tüm Trakya genelinde Havaland?rma Sistemleri Kurulum Montaj ve ?malat?, Fan Sistemleri, iklimlendirme sistemleri, scrubber, davlumbaz sistemleri gibi i?leri yapmaktay?z.
I just like the helpful information you provide in your articles
John trying Uno-Reverse with the same material as always!
A remake… stop using words you don’t understand the meaning of.
Why did you post it if it looks horrendous? Don’t have anything better to do?
Indeed, John.

I’m trying to figure how can it be a remake of something that never existed before, cause the reason why you posted this is very clear, you mf clickbaiting pos!
There is definately a lot to find out about this subject. I like all the points you made
Absolutely no one:
John: What useless drivel can i post today that includes the word remake?
Do you just google the word remake every day?
Imagine writing an article just to take a sh*t on someone’s hobby project.
TeaserPlay is not a hobbyist. He’s a click bait asset flipper who makes awful concepts of older and future games with millions of views from sheeple marveling at UE5 graphics.
Same as that Digital Dreams guy who posts GTA V/Skyrim/The Witcher 3 with 1800 mods that look like crap and charges money for ReShade Profiles.
Very well presented. Every quote was awesome and thanks for sharing the content. Keep sharing and keep motivating others.
Yes you can’t judge something that we are not getting to play! It’s just a conceptual demo of what it could look like.
Everybody have different approaches.
The title itself is very “Horrendous” to me actually apart from some of the things you have mentioned.
This is really interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!
If I had to say something positive, it would be that I like the lighting a lot.
Unrelated, but the first seconds of the music made me think of a late 70s-early 80s horror movie. It feels like you’re going to watch something like Halloween… ?
And seeing that woman walking in those typical American neighborhoods with that music in the background definitely reminds me of such movies too… You expect to see a crazy guy wearing a hockey mask appearing suddenly.?
Yall really running dry for content huh
It looks horrendous, so why did you choose to give it more publicity? There are numerous other high-effort projects, so why decide to give spotlight to this crap?
What the f*k is wrong with this “writer’s” life that he has this much pent up rage to let out on an independent fan mod?
