Resident Evil fans, here is something for you. YouTube’s ‘RE Biohazard’ has shared a video, showcasing 25 minutes of gameplay from his fan remake of the first Resident Evil in Unreal Engine 5.
RE Biohazard has been working on recreating the Spencer Mansion in Unreal Engine 5. In May 2023, we shared the first video for this project. And now, over two years later, we get a new video from the latest version.
In this 25-minute video, we get to see the Mansion, Backyard, Guest House, and Laboratory. So, this should give you a pretty good idea of what a possible remake of the first RE could look like in Unreal Engine 5.
As with all fan projects, this remake offers only a rough idea of what an official version could look like. A full remake created by a large studio with a team of artists and developers will likely feature a much higher level of detail and polish. So, while this project is impressive, it is important to keep its fan-made nature in mind.
Sadly, this fan remake of the RE Spencer Mansion is not available for download. As such, you cannot experience it yourselves. Still, this video shows all of the areas that have been recreated.
Now, if you want to re-experience the original Resident Evil games, I suggest using the RE:Enhance Mod or Seamless Project. These mods overhaul the original pre-rendered backgrounds. These are a must-have for all classic RE fans. So, don’t sleep on them.
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 and stay tuned for more!
