@Chris-ij3jx my friend, can you please check? I can access your website. I have been trying to download this since the morning. I am looking for a solution. I would be happy if you could help me.
I've played through RTCW on the PS2 countless times, so I really appreciate the quality improvements and attention to detail here. Not just the graphical enhancements, but the dark atmosphere, lighting and effects presented is very consistent with the original game. I love it.
Я периодически вспоминаю Вашу работу над этой игрой. Выглядит очень красиво. Хотелось бы, чтоб Вы полноценно сделали хотя бы 1 уровень и выложили в открытый доступ) Я бы просто бегал и любовался игрой моего детства в невероятном качестве))
This certainly looks very good! Would absolutyely love to see RTCW get full remake. The thing that bugged me here, the weapon arm have no outfit cuffs. Looks as if the the character is running around in a T-shirt 😀! Luger looks tiny. I do like some areas redone- so it's not a 100% copycat, but a revamp, which is fine! Although I loved winter environment over the castle more. But this looks great too! Anyway, I would give huge thumbs up for you for this work. You kept the atmosphere intact.
If you convert the entire game like that, the result gonna be better than 98% of games, i hope ID software pay you, is not only graphics, the atmosphere is the same like 20 years ago, i hope play someday the complete game, thx so much, its epic!!!
Это великолепно, просто восхитительно, то что не соблюдена точность карты, а переработано под более реалистичную планировку замка - делает даже лучше, чем оригинал. Это не 10/10, это 1 000 000/10 !
Holy fucking shit ! This remake of Return to Castle Wolfenstein is absolutely awesome ! The amount of detail, only in the first mission is almost frightening, I can already imagine how the rest of the game will look, if you decide to do it in the future of course. It's so well made that it's totally worth all the effort that has been put into it. Congratulations to all the people who participated in the remake ! You deserve a medal for such a great job !
Thanks for the kind words, i dont intend to remake anything else other than this level, its just a showcase of the level and nothing more really, i added some gameplay elements but only to help showcase the level. E.g the hand looks crap as its just a placeholder more than anything, it was just myself that made this but I did take some weapon sounds from real RTTW
I see, but it's really amazing, and this game really needs a great remake. A team from Poland, called Ress Project PL, were working on a total remake, but unfortunately they stopped their work. And RtCW is getting really old, even after all the improvements done to it those last 22 years, like RealRtCW 4.0, and Enemy Territory Single Player.
Bro this is really impressive! This game was my childhood, and I'm really glad to see it in a new light. As a programmer that dabbled a tiny bit in GameDev it seems like really impressive work (but perhaps I am biased due to the selected game). I am interested in making a UE5 remake of it at some point, so this is encouraging to see! All the best.
8:42 I love how the light from the lightning shines through the window and shows all those rays of light. Good job with this recreation 😀 Have you heard of WolfPT? It's RTCW with path tracing, and I'm looking forward to playing it. RTCW is my favorite single player game from the 2000s.
That is even better than the last time, Chris, very impressive indeed. I thought you'd given up on the project, I'm glad to see that's not the case. You've stayed faithful to the original game, the sounds, the atmosphere, the music and the new weapons also look great too. You should team-up with someone who can create the A.I. and make a genuinely playable level, it would be phenomenal. Thanks for all your hard work.
At 3:26, BEAUTIFUL work. I would’ve never thought of it. The atmosphere of night instead of day really adds to the scene, and the rain is especially nice. That hit of lighting is god tier, reflecting on the castle and the nazi flag, a beautiful effect. Going through that door really introduces you to an amazing scene and the ambience is beautiful. I love the way you breathed so much life into this and created such an artistic touch. Great vision and great to see a childhood favorite being reimagined and improved
@@goobierust thanks for the kind words, it’s really cool you that you noticed some of those things, opening the door to the scene of the exterior of the castle was absolutely intentional, hence the change in music
Download Link Below! Motion Blur now removed (I didn't realise UE5 had it turned on by default). Made some other minor changes. Some area's look fairly dark which I think is due to TH-cam's poor video compression PLEASE NOTE: This is not a remake of the game and is just a demonstration/showcase of the level. This was created for a portfolio and I never intended to release it, but at the request of many here it is. Therefore, there is no gameplay, enemies etc as that was never the intended purpose. Download: drive.google.com/file/d/15sgJQkLPgtoVi8vmAwLQKwd4HMTaQPWi/view?usp=sharing
@@Chris-ij3jx Thx for your quick answer ! But ther is no exe; after extraction there is only 2 directories: Movies and Packs. And Packs cannot be extracted.
I have 2 questions for you 1. Wouldn't you like to approach Beshesda, show them what work you do and make a remake? It looks brilliant and you can see how much heart was put into it. A lot of people would buy a remake of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" 2. Today there are a lot of indie games made by even one creator. Would you like to create your own game inspired by the Wolfenstein series? and releases, for example in early access? You have a very good talent. It would be a pity to waste it.
I'm not sure why they've not chosen to remake it, it's the most popular of the Wolfenstein series and everybody loves it. I'd love too but I just created this for my portfolio more than anything, I don't feel i'm "talented" enough to do anything like that. Projects like that take a lot of amazingly talented people.
@@Chris-ij3jx You are very talented, my friend. I wish I had half the skills as you do. I love your level designs and your attention to finer details without over cluttering the enviroment. :) Keep up the good work. I'm working on my own retro FPS game inspired by RtCW. Let the both of us give our best. Edit: Btw, I started working on mine after your first RtCW video went up and saw it, so you are certainly an inspiration for people.
I would take a functional Unreal 5 powered RTCW over a new Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, COD, Battlefield, Halo or Destiny any day. 20 years ago, RTCW was the most fun FPS shooter game I ever played. I remember when there would be a full server of people and calling in an airstrike just at the right time and wiping 10+ people out. It's been so long since I have played, I don't remember the maps, but there was the one on the beach and you had to advance your way up the hill. Then there was the train depot (I think that's what I was called) That map was huge and fun.
I think if you can get more indirect lighting or global illumination somehow, it would look better. There is some pitch black spaces, that makes it look less realistic. Also soft shadows if possible, that would also help a lot with the realism. Especially at the fireplace.
amazing work.. how i miss this type of videogames u can t imagine; hope some day they will remake this wolfenstein, the medal of honor games, brothers in arms.. 🥹
Hey, Chris. Could you put a test version of the game on google drive and post a download link below the video? Your site is currently unavailable and I think a lot of fans want to try this game but can't download it. We would be very grateful to you! Best wishes, RTCW fans.
That is a masterpiece! Thought you gave up progressing. You use "Ultra Dynamic Weather" for wet ground? How do you make the same textures wet and not, by creating second master material?
Yeah I used the UDS plugin (it’s to awesome not to) . I duplicated some materials and adjusted the UDS material functions for the wet weather effects e.g. puddles, material wetness etc
Insane - could you produce full game , keep sence of realism, arhicetcure and historry that Original game has! Insane work! Thanks for sharing! Sign me up for a BUY!
UE is just an engine, any talented team can make a great looking game. You could easily make AW2 on UE, Cyberpunk is now running on UE I believe and doesn’t look any different to CP2077 engine.
@@Chris-ij3jx CP2077 uses the inhouse REDengine. CD Projekt Red announced some time ago that they will be dropping it in favour of UE. This appears to be due to the lack of talented people available to maintain the engine. Whilst it is true that you could make AW2 in UE, or for that matter any other engine, it just won't look as good, which is why so many people are talking about it. It's easy to find coders but hard to find good coders which is why so many software houses use off the shelf engines.
Looking good overall, but its a lil too dark. I can see you invested into weather - lighting, wet surfaces and windows. The location is now somewhere near the sea which I think is quite a welcoming change. You could've highlight more of the castle architecture if chosen opposite weather conditions and TOD while also adding and expanding more on it, but I guess this is off scope in general or for this specific stage. Were you making all of those assets yourself? I would consider you did the large stuff like architecture but I wonder what about small props like radios?
Hello Chris, I want to try this game even if it is a test version. Is it possible to try the test phase? You know, if you upload fln to the internet, I can download it and play it.

This game definitely needs a remake!
As opposed to many other remakes this one is actually all about recreating the feel and athmosphere of the original. Very well done
OMG, please, I beg you, make the rest of the levels! This is amazing!
The atmosphere is incredible.
I see a lot has changed in Hogwarts since I've read the books ..
Actually, an RtCW mission set in Hogwarts would be very interesting.

My favorite game of all time and wow this looks great! Sigh really makes me wish for a definitive edition of this and Wolf enemy territory.
Yesss a new video on your game since 2 years!! I’m so happy i’ve been waiting
Its amazing how older games were so good at sounds when graphics weren't all that great. Riven, thief etc.
i would shit my pants in catacombs level... again
Impressive, especially all the extras added.
Makes the best game of 2001 even better, a proper upgrade!
we need this to be a remake !
We definitely do!
Dude - fantastic job, very well done!!!!

Why does the lighting look so off on the hand? sometimes it doesn't look like it matches the environment at all?
The mesh for the hand isn’t very good, but like I’ve said it’s just a place holder to demonstrate the actual level and nothing more.
