The OG survival horror gets UE5 remake

Capcom has been doing a great job with the Resident Evil remakes, bringing each of them into the modern day with better visuals and gameplay.

Of course, the original Resident Evil hasn’t yet had the Unreal Engine makeover. So, for now, we’ll have to make do with this fan-made project which looks utterly stunning. A group of fans have come together to give the OG survival horror a full-on Unreal Engine 5 remake, making all of those nasty enemies look deadlier than ever before.

Resident Evil has delivered some amazing experiences

Giving such a legendary game the juice and beefing up the visuals is no easy feat. What this team has created is brilliant, swapping out textures, and bringing the lighting into the new generation. The game, which has been played and replayed by millions feels fresh again, like a brand new entry, while still holding that familiar nostalgia.

From that classic moment when the first zombie turns its head after munching down on a corpse, to the huge spiders scurrying across the ceiling, the new Unreal Engine flavour looks wonderful. Blood has a sheen to it, the darkened corridors actually feel spooky once again, and character models have actual character.

The original, which was released in 1996, was known for its atmosphere, something that hasn’t really held up with the passage of time. Using newer technology the corners of the bleak mansion are pitch black, hiding away some genuine scares again. The only pain here is that this isn’t coming from Capcom, which would just put the cherry on top of the macabre cake.

The team has done a great job, particularly in bringing the ‘over the shoulder’ camera to the game. This alone makes the game feel more modern, without even getting to the incredible details that jump out from the new textures. Hopefully, we’ll get our itchy hands on this soon.
