Red Dead Redemption Remake In Unreal Engine 5 Puts Rockstar To Shame

screenrant.com:

A fan-made Red Dead Redemption remake trailer shows what John Marston’s critically-acclaimed journey across the Old West could look like rendered by Unreal Engine 5. Epic began implementing Unreal Engine 5 in Fortnite starting with last year’s Chapter 3, and developers like BioWare and Hangar 13 are said to have already begun to embrace the new engine with the development of upcoming games like Mass Effect 5 and the recently announced Mafia 4.

Unreal Engine 5 would later be launched in full in April, allowing indie developers and gaming enthusiasts to start building their own impressive projects using the brand-new, 4K compatible technology. Some have used Unreal Engine 5 to create open-world games featuring Superman and Spider-Man. Others have recreated iconic locations from existing titles like World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and even the PS1-era cult-classic Dino Crisis in Unreal Engine 5. A few would-be developers have even tried their hand at updating Grand Theft Auto titles in the wake of last year’s divisive GTA: The Trilogy — Definitive Edition, with impressive demos of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto 5 that have arguably surpassed developer Rockstar’s efforts to bring its classic open-world titles into the modern era of gaming. It seems like Grand Theft Auto isn’t the only Rockstar-developed blockbuster that fans are remaking in Unreal Engine 5.
