Zelda Ocarina of Time: Kakariko Village - Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake
- Thread starter stormfire
- Start date
I agree, I remember watching this one a while ago and being impressed at how they kept the general atmosphere and art direction of the game. Of course, it took many years to make. I don't think people realize the insane amount of effort these fan recreations take.
I was thinking this, weren't there UE2 Nintendo fan projects back in the day?
The man who did this is good, but, do people really think Nintendo is not capable of making this? Even if they did hire the man, do people actually think they would make something like this given the Switch hardware?
I think it's more aimed at people who are saying Nintendo should hire him based on this demo.
I know right??? Can't believe where we're at graphically. I grew up with Atari and the NES. I can't imagine what my nephew has in store for him.
We will get here someday, I believe it!
Although I love N64, WW, and BotW aesthetic, so I don't need hyperrealism from Zelda.
Similar to the reason the new Tomb Raiders and Avengers game are unplayable for me, get so damn nauseous. Curse you Crystal Dynamics!

For real. That shit causes me to almost throw up.

I should hope most people understand this. Nintendo chooses graphical style based on their hardware capabilities and practicalities of releasing a huge game. They're certainly not constrained by the talent of their artists and engineers.
In terms of artstyle I think this is my favourite of his:

Really cool demo but the camera is gonna make me puke and I don't think Zelda really works in this style.
Not to be a party pooper as clearly a lot of work has went into this, but looks generic and devoid of style.
That's the issue with a lot of fan upgrades and texture remasters, and hell even a number of officially made ones too. Upping the fidelity doesn't automatically up the quality, both the N64 and 3DS versions of OoT Kakariko are superior to this.

That video is … very full of itself.
I understand the novelty aspect of seeing a Zelda environment being remade as if a random outsourcer built it with current gen tech but it really is nothing out of the ordinary for any standard 3D artist in the industry.
Things like this are fun ways to learn how to model and work with shaders in an engine + it gives you internet fame but to the people saying "hire this man" like, hire him for what?

- Unreal 5 knowledge? He barely displays any, they all look like default settings. No use to Nintendo
- Game making? He hasnt made anything
- 3D art? This isnt a good art portfolio, Id need to look at the meshes and textures, but Im not seeing much modeling or texturing skill here and theres a good chance they just got the assets from an asset repo and didn't make them themselves
- Lighting/Shader artist? Lots of bloom and very basic lighting. Nothing there
- Art Direction? LOL. Its just rocks, grass, wood, a lot of yellow light and using bloom like its Fable. Nothing about this is unique or interesting.
Thank you for this post, took the words out of my mouth without sounding as harsh as I would have sounded.
I never pictured Kakariko looking like this as a kid. This makes me think of Skyrim and western RPGs like that, not Zelda
I always feel like a dick being a "well actually this sucks" guy but its really funny how much skill and talent people attribute to the wrong things (and viceversa)
Like, no wonder people think Kojima does everything if this is how much they know about game making. The only thing this person has done is the camera and its the one thing people say its bad :P
It's wild how this joke song describes OP's video precisely, despite the latter being uploaded two years later.
