YouTube’s ‘EnzoElRich’ has shared a cool video, in which he recreated the starting area from Metal Gear Solid in Unreal Engine 5. This will give you an idea of what a modern-day remake of this classic PSX title could look like. So, if you are a fan of the series, I highly recommend watching it.
This fan remake has both first-person and third-person perspectives. And, as the YouTuber claimed, it’s a remake similar to what Bloober Team did with Silent Hill 2.
What’s cool here is that the video has some basic gameplay mechanics. However, as you will see, both the movement and takedown mechanics are not THAT polished.
Now you should keep in mind that this was created by a single person. So, for a one-man project, this looks pretty cool. The first-person viewpoint, in particular, looks solid. And the environments are exactly what you’d expect to see from a remake.
As with most fan remakes, this was made for portfolio purposes. EnzoElRich has not released a demo of it, and from what I know there aren’t any plans to ever release it. So no, you can’t run it on your PC.
From what we know so far, Konami does not plan to remake the first MGS game. Right now, the team is busy with the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3. What’s interesting here, though, is that MGS3 takes place before the events of MGS1. So, let’s hope once Metal Gear Solid Delta is out, Konami will set its focus on remaking the first MGS.
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-like 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!
