Star Wars fans, here is something special for you today. YouTube’s ‘Oleksandr Maziura’ has recreated the intro of Star Wars: Republic Commando in Unreal Engine 5, which can give us a glimpse at what a modern-day remake of that classic Star Wars game could have looked like.
This project took the artist one year and a half in order to complete it. To create the new assets, Maziura used Blender and then rendered the final image in Unreal Engine 5.
Now what’s cool here is that the intro has some first-person sequences. And yes, the artist has remade those sequences in UE5. So, these FPS scenes can give you a pretty good idea of what a remake of Republic Commando could look like. In my opinion, the end result is amazing, and I highly recommend watching the video.
As with most fan remakes, this was made for portfolio purposes. In other words, there isn’t any demo or prototype to download. Nevertheless, I believe a lot of Star Wars fans will find it cool.
From what I know, there aren’t currently any official plans to remake Star Wars: Republic Commando. So, don’t hold your breath for anything like that to happen. At least in the foreseeable future. Hell, even the Star Wars: KOTOR Remake is currently in a development hell.
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 days 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. Earlier this month, 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.
Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Rayman 3, 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!
