The year is 2000. It’s a sunny Saturday morning, and you’re about to spend the next two hours on your PlayStation, stepping into the shoes of Manon Batiste in the latest, exciting first-person shooter, Medal of Honor: Underground. Life is good.
No matter who you are, I think we can all agree life has changed quite a bit since 2000. Sure, you can say that the grass is always greener on the other side, but it’s hard not to look at the state of the world we’re in now and long for the simpler times we all knew and loved. Well, I’m unfortunately not here to offer you a time machine, but this might be the next best thing - behold, this amazing fan remake of Medal of Honor: Underground, which transforms those sweet, polygonal childhood memories into something way more modern, but just as cool. Check out the video below...
This work comes courtesy of Matheus Lino Arquiteto over on YouTube, who, as reported by DSOGaming, used Lumion 11 and 3D Studio Max to bring the remake to life. Sadly, at this time, it doesn’t seem that this is a game you can actually download and play yourself, but it still looks great, and will undoubtedly get fans of the series craving the real thing more than ever.
Others in the YouTube comments have been sharing their support. “This game means a lot to me, it's part of my childhood and apart from being the game that started me in first-person shooters, it made me delve into war history, generated interest in [documentaries], books, etc... I wish EA would do some remastering of this wonder,” wrote felipe espinoza. “Amazing job, I think it's time for big game companies [to] hire indie devs to do their remakes,” commented TC XIV.

There’s no doubt that fans are capable of producing some seriously impressive work. At the end of last month, we got a brand new look at some gameplay for an upcoming fan remake of Resident Evil - Code: Veronica, and it looks incredible. It’s hard to believe that it’s only being developed by a small group of people, but it’s true. However, they’ve made it clear that if Capcom decide to put a stop to the project and ask them to take it down, they’ll do so, so fingers crossed they’re able to finish it before that happens. Anyway, if an official remake isn’t in the works, why shouldn't they be able to do their own thing? That’s probably not the most sound legal advice, though.
