Now here is something that passed under my radar. A couple of months ago, YouTube’s ‘Milwaukee Games’ created a Fallout prototype in Unreal Engine 5 that looks cool. This prototype can give you an idea of what Fallout can look like on a modern-day engine. So, if you are a fan of the series, I suggest taking a look at it.
In a way, this prototype reminds me of Fallout: New Vegas. If I had to guess, I’d say the modder has used some materials from it. Plus, both of these share a desert environment. In my eyes, this is close to what a Fallout: New Vegas Remastered could look like.
Now since this is a prototype, it’s full of placeholders and glitches/bugs. For instance, when the player shoots the radio, you get small rock particles for debris. There are also issues with the shadows and the LOD system. So, don’t expect a perfect visual experience.
What’s cool here is that, according to its creator, this prototype is fully playable. In other words, it has proper gameplay and shooting mechanics. Players can access the PipBoy, and they can shoot some cockroaches. Basic stuff but hey, it’s a prototype.
Milwaukee Games may one day release this prototype to the public. However, there is no ETA on when – and if – this will happen. Naturally, though, I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
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 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. 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 fan remaster of Unreal Gold in UE5. 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 have also received some cool remakes. Oh, and there is a fan remake of Tomb Raider The Last Revelation, featuring Angelina Jolie and Christoph Walz. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, 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!
