In February 2023, YouTube’s ‘flames per second’ shared an amazing video, showcasing GTA San Andreas in Unreal Engine 5. And, a couple of days ago, the YouTuber shared another video, showcasing this time Grand Theft Auto 3 in UE5.
In order to create this fan remake, flames per second used a number of GTA5 mods. For instance, he ported the Liberty City Remix Mod in UE5. Additionally, he used Project FromThePast (which is a GTA III car pack), as well as updated 3D models for 8-Ball and Claude.
The video features 11 minutes of gameplay footage from it. There are also some basic gameplay mechanics. For instance, we can see the main protagonist driving numerous vehicles. As such, it can give you a pretty good idea of what a modern-day remake of this classic GTA game would look like. And, thanks to the advanced lighting techniques of UE5, this fan remake of GTA III looks amazing. My only gripe with this is the old-gen LOD system as this project does not take advantage of Nanite.
Sadly, I don’t expect the YouTuber to ever release this fan remake to the public. That kind of sucks but hey, it is what it is. At least you can watch 10 minutes of gameplay from it.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you may be also interested in these other videos. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. 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 a fan remake video of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in Unreal Engine 5, 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 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 Skyrim’s Whiterun. 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!
