Unreal 1 HD Project (Need Help)

[SethPDA]

Hello every1! I'm pretty new here but I won't spam the board xD
I have a great idea,but I don't know if epic will let me to do it.So...
I tought I will remake Unreal 1 with UDK bcuz my fav game of all time is Unreal 1.
It's gameplay,maps and storyline are the best for me today too.
The project name is Unreal HD.Just bcuz there is a Serious Sam HD already out there,so I tought it would sound cool with Unreal xD
It won't be easy as I suck at modelling so I might need a little help,but I can do the mapping by myself.
I also will need some help in scripting the game but that won't be so hard.

I know there is a project that replaces U1 textures with SETC high quality ones but that doesn't have much succes and with the capabilities of UDK,we can make it much easier.Also U1 engine can't be edited that much.

If any1 is interested in this project,reply here.
I hope there are many U1 fans out there

Edit: And i disagree with some of your opinions.

stop being such a pain, mental :p

@ SethPDA,

ofcourse there alot of unreal1 fans out here, but even more unreal1+UE3 fans on Beyondunreal.com . I highly recommend you to head over to beyondunreal.com -> forum and post it there under Rercruitment. Make it an interesting topic title and you'll get alot of attention. i like the idea very much too bad im not too good with todays modelling qualities etc.. + im part of over 9 thausand projects just for unreal1.(3, in fact.) i can do good enough for UE1 though.

good luck!

No, i disagree. The idea is nice, sure. I know serious sam hd, in fact, i got everything of the serious sam series so far. But this is not something we can 'just do' like its modifiding the projectileclass of a stinger. If you can find people to help you with your project and actually finish it someday thats great, but i wouldn't count on much support tho, it's just not something you just do, theres alot involved in making such thing as this possible.

There was already one other project like this that was started a year ago, but before someone could even really start a map (GreatEmerald was doing Sacred Passage, but he stopped), the project slowly died. Without a full dedicated team, this would be nearly impossible unless you worked non-stop with no sleep, which in itself is also impossible. BUT if you DO manage to get a full team with a lot of motivation and dedication, you might just be able to do this.

Also, if and when you get the project going with a full team, I suggest doing a few maps at a time and releasing them in packs. So the first pack could be Vortex Rikers through Sacred Passage, then Temple of Chizra through Harobed Village, etc. etc.

The only true team that's really left in Unreal who's actually been dedicated to their work is 227 team IMO. All these other team projects seem to have just died off /  have 'never been heard from again'. Over all, most people just can't dedicate the time to this kind of thing anymore, nor are there too many people left who can do this in the first place.

I don't want to sound demotivating, but I think it'd be easier to find humans on mars than ever start and complete something like this, because there's just not enough people out there who are willing to do something like that, or even skilled enough. Just imagine how long would it take to make every single tiny detail in 10x higher quality... You'd need a whole team like Epic games lol.

The idea itself sounds great, it would be awesome to have Unreal in HD, but it seems practically impossible to do, unless you gather at least 50 people that work 5 hours per day AT VERY LEAST.

Now prove I'm wrong and go do it! =D

Not only that, afaik its forbidden to make anything unreal related with the the UDK (you would have to use UT3 as basis for that instead). A similar discussion was already on beyondunreal. Only with the slightly difference that some user REALLY made a little bit.

But seriously, "SethPDA" can you imagine, who many of those dream-projekt-threads I have seen in the past? This is just .. sry to say that.. a kiddies dream. I mean, if you open such a thread, show at least something from your side.
What about a remodelled and reskinned skaarj or the basic structure of a remodelled unreal 1 level. Unable to do that? Then do NOT open such a thread.
I do not want to say that I could do something like that. You should be really brought back down to earth.
