Xenogears Remake Gameplay Reveal
I'm a 3D artist, and I worked on this project in my spare time, using it as an opportunity to study and become more familiar with Unreal Engine 5. Creating something related to Xenogears has been on my mind for a while. After watching the Star Ocean: The Second Story R gameplay, I got inspired to make something similar. I handled everything from modeling to texturing and shading, with the exception of the FX effects and the original sprites. I've utilized Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Zbrush, Houdini, Substance Painter, Megascan Textures, and SpeedTree.
This project is a homage to one of my favorite games. I adore Yasunori Mitsuda's music and am also a fan of Tetsuya Takahashi's games. Back in the 2000s, I remember completing the game in Japanese when I was a teenager; at that time, I didn't know any Japanese, and my understanding of English was still limited. I recall being stuck many times, and my strategy was to talk to everyone until something happened. Back then, I didn't have internet access to research. But upon completing it, I knew I had experienced something incredible. The same was true for FFVII, which I also finished in Japanese around the same period.
This project won't be available for download; it's solely for study purposes and for fun. I will post more about the project soon on my ArtStation.

    Honestly Xenogears is a game that deserves a remake. Especially everything on the second disk. This is a game that, for all its greatness, was very very obviously not finished.

Not only dis I play this game over and over and over for years but, I played it so much that the game disk wore out and I had to buy replacement disks. At one point, I wanted to plan for the future and bought 5 copies and put them in storage. I still play the game whenever I get the itch on my ps vita.

    Let me correct you on that. Scientifically speaking, music (ear), smell (nose), anything visual (eyes), and taste (tongue) will cause you to remember things associated with them. The brain use these senses to "attach" certain memory to certain things, for future reference or to recall easily memories. There is of course more to it than just that but to stay on topic: this is not just music, it has to do with all 5 senses. That's why some have tears when eating cookies remembering their grandma. Some have tears when hearing music because that particular music is associated with some childhood memory. And so on...

    They made the Xenosaga games, but honestly I don't think they wanted to touch the original story because of the religious story parts. Japanese companies in general are very conservative, so they didn't want to ruffle any feathers. They never released this game in Europe because they feared backlash for the parts of the story that contained religious themes.

    Not in bad blood stage. More like "whom are you working with now?" Another reason. Still remember Harada said higher-ups in Bandai Namco unwilling to give Xenosaga remaster solely "because it's a niche title". You can assume based on that alone why Square Enix pushing their other more known titles rather than Xenogears

    This looks incredible and honestly, I like this more realistic style for Xenosaga. Thanks for all the love and hard work you put in!

    Reminder that I really need to replay this. Maybe after my Xenosaga series replay.

    I was already a young adult when this game came out in 1998. I played it so much that I sorta missed work a few times! Still, 26 years later, a lifetime later, hearing that music makes me cry a little because of HOW good that game was! I still will find a track or two on YT and play it, because not only was the story so mind-bogglingy insane, for the era, the graphics and play were so much more, it was such a blend! Then like I said, the music, no PS1 game should have had music THAT good, but it did, they went hard, and all this time later it STILL goes hard and the emotion in the music is palpable. I just hope Squeenix doesn't try to squash this, even if it is never released, a video/demo of the major parts in this fashion would be an incredible journey to experience!

    There is nothing I wouldn't give to see an actual remake like this.
