    Thank you so much for such an incredible video and thanks for everyone for the good feedback ! Sadly the game still suffers from more bugs after switching to unreal engine 5 but im getting there to make the game even better in the future 🙏 i want to add that several people helped for the project once aswell about level design, all the credits are inside my discord if someone is interested .
    But all the gameplay core elements amd how all functions / gameplay is connected is completely made from scratch by myself
    7/8 years of learning the engine + i had 15 more projects done in these years not to forget

      UE 5 is just an upgrade to UE 4 and all you do to use UE 4 projects in UE 5 is open the project with UE 5, there are only a couple new features in UE 5 over what UE 4 has (Lumen and Nanite are the biggest changes). So the remake was developed on UE 4 then migrated to UE 5.

      Yep they started it on UE4 4.11, but kept porting all the way up to UE5 5.2 -- mainly to take advantage of the latest features
      Would have taken them less time if they stuck with one version, decided on a cohesive art style and ran with that
      Instead they decided to go super hard with overdone lighting, raytracing, DLSS, Lumen, RTX and pretty much every other buzzword feature
      Alas, it's their project. They're clearly a talented environmental artist, but there's a lot of other aspects of game design in which their showcase is clearly lacking.
      I hope they apply those talents on an original project someday as part of a dev team.

    It seems the majority of people don't know about the drama involved with this remake. CryZen absolutely did not do this on his own. He, in fact, took assets from another game developer who built Castle Town without providing any credit and is now profiting off of his hard work. If you look closely as well, Castle Town is very clearly more detailed and polished in comparison to other areas he worked on. And that's just one creator out of a fair few that aren't receiving credit or any compensation for their work. CryZen taking on such an ambitious project is admirable and he has put in a ton of work himself, but there's some really shady background to the story that most people seem to be unaware of.

    This is an awesome vid and thanks for sharing.
    You asked if there was another game we would like to see remade like this, and the answer is yes, I would love to Disgaea 7 remade and lifted off the page into a 3d verse fully immersive where we can ourselves travel to different universes via spaceships to battle the largest and the strongest. Also being able to run about and get to know our environments and the NPC within this world to uncover truths, facts, details and directions would be super cool. What makes this RPG worth the remake is that it beats all other RPG'S with its reincarnation system.
    I actually have a vid on channel explaining this partially as it covers a lot to do with gaming and GPU's. The vid is called pashants Rants: Games That Can Actually Date Our GPU's.
    Disgaea 7 Is one of those formidable titles I would most certainly buy again as it has great potential but unfortunately I find it to be VERY similar to its predecessors though it costs an arm and a leg.
    Taking games like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous and SpaceEngine as well as Space Engineers into consideration, These titles are massive tittles considering expanse open world and sandbox. They cost the same price as most silly games out on market shelves presenting us with tech of prev prev gen experience meaning, crap we have already experienced in our past only dazzled with better graphics. MassEffect legendary a fine example - re-digitalised with HD 4k but textures were left looking miles worse because you could now see how dated the game actually was. I still play 2007 version instead.
    Games nowa days demand 4k - 60fps - openworld.... not free roam over a larger area but Open World as in you can travel the whole entire world if you ever wanted too, and over 1000 story my personal preference would be 10000 hours+.
    Anyway - for this, I would like to see Disgaea 7 remade and can't wait to see what fully comes of this Zelda game, I use to love this in my childhood. Still one of my favourite titles to date oh... and a Mass Effect 2007 remake.
    Rainbowsix lass vegas 2 was a good game and maybe Pokemon brilliant diamond and Silver. Another game would be Hot Import Nights Juiced 2 and Naruto rise of a Ninja.
    Thank for sharing and keep up your great work guys. Your inspiration truly is well appreciated

From a business point of view they should let him finish it, invite him to delegate and who knows maybe re-release this game to an even bigger audience and recapture the magic to a new audience and in doing so make a ton of money too because lets face it this beauty will be an instant sell out compared to the state of so called triple A titles being made in this day and age that are to put it mildly absolutely attrocious. And lets not forget about this game's soundtrack. Arguably one of if not the best musical arrangements to ever compliment a game.

    saw a video where some game devs actually played it and it was a mess. Boundary breaking within seconds when you can fly Navi around, the boulders still hitting you while you are in the menu, replaying chest opening animations after the chest is empty, attack animations being accessible before you get your sword, equipping the sword not showing the model, the spin attack animation glitching the hell out, water interacting with your model even if you weren't touching it, rupees tilting strangely on their axis for some reason, and on and on. The over reliance on post processing effects interferes with visual clarity for puzzle solving and navigation.
    To all the people holding out hope, please move on. It's half functional and Unreal is doing most of the work. It's a buggy piece of garbage that's not gonna go anywhere. If after this long and he hasn't even ironed out the basic bugs of the first level, the dev is NEVER going to finish this. Just go find something else to focus on.

AND, besides; if you actually cared enough to complain about it, then to think you'd know enough about the engine to warrant extinguishing that very complaint in the first place. It comes full circle, cancels out, and at the end of the day, breaks down to one of two things; either, 1) you're trolling/making a joke, or 2) complaining about something about which you are not informed. Outrage culture for the sake of outrage.
      Those who care enough, would know enough that they understand exactly what is meant by the title. Therefore, the only ones left are the ones who are either making a sarcastic joke, or don't understand the first thing about game engine development. They fail to understand that this was programmed in Unreal Engine itself over the years, and was then ported over to UE5 to take advantage of the new engine's features. This is then, by a matter of fact, a UE5 game that was in eight years of development. So the title was never wrong. It's just fundamentally misunderstood. In all honesty, all of this confusion could've been prevented by simply removing the '5'.
      Ultimately, I don't see how it's a big deal when people who don't know the difference would've been baited all the same whether or not that '5' is there. The '5' hardly acts as an effective form of clickbait here.

    Spends 8-years remaking it.
    Nintendo:
    This will only take 8 minutes.

    "The latest generation, Unreal Engine 5, was launched in April 2022." Spent 8 years remaking Zelda Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5, that is incredible indeed. Working so hard you brake time and space laws.

      You clearly don't understand game development works. It is posible to migrate from one game engine to another.

      it's possible, but not clever unless you're willing to decompile your entire game. Why you think most games never get updated to the latest version of their engine? Like Hunt: Showdown doesn't run and will never run on the latest version of the Cryengine because it would cost them too much time and money it defeats the games overall objective. To make money. @@thomasamara1453

      To be clear though I do think he changed from UE4 to UE5 as this is easier to do than most engines as it was built for companies to do that. (another reason unreal engine is the "bee's knees")

    One, you covered this project before it was finished. Two, Nintendo likes to issue cease and desist orders right before a project releases so they make the creator feel like they wasted time.

      Do you think OP here clicked on the video and THEN decided that the creator was scamming everyone for a decade. OP knew what they clicked on just to say it's a scam, I guess. Self-perpetuating hate.
      Good luck flat-earthers.

      @@merickful No, he's right. I just downloaded it and played it. If it took 8 years of honest work to get that far... mans should stop now. Buggy mess, and honestly not even visually impressive when you get to moving around and actually looking at stuff. Pretty big bummer. Been wanting to play this for years, and finally pulled the trigger on this tech demo download, and am sorely disappointed. 0/10, will not care about this project anymore.

    Honestly these ‘remakes’ of old games in the Unreal Engine only demonstrate one key thing-polishing up graphics do not make the game more ‘beautiful.’ With the originals, you can tell developers strained over designs and redesigns of the character models, art designs, animations, colors and lighting, the way the camera moves, so on and so forth. Making it have ray tracing, super reflective shiny things, etc just feels like a lazy reboot of a classic movie by big movie studios that churn it out without any real focus on the details but fill it with CGI and green screen fill-ins. I love N64 originals because they’re absolutely beautiful technological FEATS of game design and engineering on quite limited hardware. Same reason why practical effects in pre-CGI era movies were way more impressionable-2001, original Star Wars trilogy, The Thing, etc.

    So far, the recent game they took down due to coppyright was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX HD however, that was because he used original files from the zctual game. This is something that has been in the works for years made with all original files.

      Some models have been ripped from other games in the Zelda franchise for the Cryzenx's OOT remake. Specially in Kakariko village. Quite a bit of the animations and sounds have been fully ripped from Nintendo games.
