Fun fact: at 4:31 the REASON the meshes were like that is because the playstation had some strange texture wobbling that would happen, adding more geometry hid most of that!
That is super interesting. I've seen that when playing PS1 games, and didn't consider that is why! Thank you!! :)
@@Level_reDesign Ey of course! If I remember right it was a cost cutting measure on the hardware end that gave it that look!
This, and also because the "lighting" was painted onto each vertex. So in order to get more control over it, you need more vertices, otherwise everything would have to be very flatly "lit".
and also because if the game used multiple textures in one atlas, you couldn't have the texture repeat. you need to make one face with the repeated uv coordinates for that specific texture
@@GogglzMUSIC The console approximates the vertices to integers on screen causing that wobble
I am a thirty year old man getting emotional over this my guy. Please keep up the good work and trigger my mid life crisis lol
Only 30 I'm 34. You got years to go my friend before middle age
31 here, just as intrigued. Dont care too too much about the movie, but the game was awesome for me when I was a kid.
32 here! Please make this game buddy. Most of us now have some
Sort of income as compared to the first time we played this game as kids. So you bet that we’re gonna happily pay to buy this game and appreciate your hard work!!!
30 is way too early to start a midlife crisis, wait 20 years longer :
BETA!
i love how a dude on his free time can just rebuild a classic game from the ground up, for the love of it. bravo my friend- looks incredible.
"rebuild a classic game from the ground up" lol
The fact you made him glow, it could make Slime Time look like a horror genre boss fight, and Elevator Hop might be even more difficult.
Cool to see you using Narrative Quest and Dialogue editor!! Nice vid
Thanks for watching reubs! Narrative is a great tool!
Ay Reubs🎉😊😅
Keen for the Lego city series !
FINALLY, someone who proclames "REMAKING" a game in Unreal and doesn't do a cheap copy with free assets from the store of the first map of the freaking game
This is heavily amazing, keep the great stuff!!
Love from Spain my dude
This. There is a really popular Banjo-Kazooie "Remake" that does just this. It's a shame too because it gets tons of praise from people who have no reference point as to how lazy they truly are.
@@manulis_I think the praise come from a perspective of not having anything like a remake from Microsoft nor fans
@@aguilarrojasoctavio4402 Sure, trust me, Banjo is a really special series to me and I understand the fanbases thirst for content after a two decade long dry spell. Although I will point out that Microsoft DID do an Xbox port with upscaled textures which I would argue is a much more appropriate "remake".
I'll just say that shamelessly downloading ripped and textured assets from the original game (not crediting the uploader), then slapping premade unreal assets and textures on it in an attempt to call it a "remake" is quite disingenuous and in my opinion, looks just terrible.
It's why I appreciate videos like this, where the creator shows their process and what tools they use. It shows how these things require a ton of moving parts to get traction and how any large project like this, inevitably becomes collaborative.
lol this guy
@@a.akacic lol indeed.
Dude! I'm so in love with your work right now. This is THE GAME of my childhood, as a child I never had much more than that old PS1 with just 5 games, but this was my favorite by far, I have very nice memories of spending an entire afternoon trying to pass it all at once, I had no memory card so I always took as a challenge to beat the game, the day I got it was simply awesome, I would love to be able to play it again, good luck with it pal!
This, Spyro, Toy Story Racer, and Speed punks were my PS1 games. I love all of them lol
Yoooo I had a similar experience, I was born in 2001 and I remember being like 6 or maybe 7 and it was like a year after the PS3 came out, my dad bought me a used PS2 and GTA Stan Andreas, when I turned the PS2 on, a game called Burnout 3 was inside so I got that for free, also I later got a game called The Simpsons Road Rage. So those were the only 3 games I ever had, and also I didn't have a memory card so I had to borrow my friends memory card and I remember most of the time, I wasn't able to save the game, I remember playing the first levels and areas of all 3 of those games over and over again because I couldent save, also I remember all of my discs got super scratched up and they all just stopped working, we didn't have the cases for them because when you bought a used game at GameStop, it would come in this weird paper sleeve thing that we would just throw away
Love your comment
The reason the walls aren't just two triangles is because of how the PS1 worked. If it was just two triangles, it'd be really shakey.
PS1 graphics are so nostalgic because of that! Its like you could see the game actively being rendered. Instead of just seeing the final render like modern games. If that makes any sense
@@alicatdotcom It's basically cause the PS1 had the vertices (the points in a mode) snap to pixels. Cause of a lack of "subpixel rasterization"
@@alicatdotcom But a lot of people who loves the old PS1 style forget that the CRT TVs were doing its share on how the games looked and hide those imperfections. So..pixelated textures and shaky low poly were cool but not for moder screens.
@@AKuld The pixel snapping caused the vertices to wobble but the textures wobbled because of a lack of perspective correct texturing.

Buzz definitely needs to keep his wings inside of this suit, because it might end up breaking, not in game but in real life.
Plus it would really be appreciated if this remake resembled most of the original.
I plan to, but since the default animation state of the wings is open, and I am using placeholder, generic animations at the moment, the wing bones are not given any instructions (such as close or open). When I remake the animations, I will correct the wings then! :)
I never thought this day would come. This was a childhood game for me. I had the PC version of this game that came on a CD and I still have it to this day. I've played this game several times recently on my PC with a PS emulator (The PC version was better though but doesn't run well anymore). Also been listening to the game soundtracks which have been playing throughout the video as they are really good, my favorite being the construction yard sound track. Looking forward to the project, especially once you start creating the enemies and I hope you try to stay as true to the original game as possible.
Making buzz glow in the dark was genius. I'd recommend doing the same treatment to the Stuart Little 2 PS1 game. It was like a better version of this game IMO. Much more playable today at least.
I LOVED the Stuart Little movie, but I hadn't played the game! I bet that could be fun! :)
I had a Stuart little game on PC that my sister and I loved! It had a good art style and some interesting game modes for the time!
Friend, you have all our support in this project. I played that incredible game when I was 13 years old. It would be a dream to play it remastered. Please continue with this project and you will be a legend for the entire gamer community.
Making Buzz glow in the dark is such a creative idea!
This game was so fun as a kid. I love the first few levels! I mean, Andy's house is iconic
I have a friend who just played the game for the first time last week. He beat the game, and he said that Andy's house was the best level. The general consensus from my friend group is that the best levels are Andy's house, Al's toy barn, and Al's Apartment. But that is mostly among a group of 10 friends talking. lol
Reassembled is a very clever name, congratulations.
Antdude did a video about Toy Story 2 that is pretty good, and he suggested Disney to remake the game and name it Toy Story 2: Repacked, which is also a great name.
Oh man, I really hope you can finish this, but I see a cease and desist from Disney in your near future.
If you have time, you should add the option to play as a different character if you beat the game. A lot of games from that era had this feature. It was mainly for visuals, fun, and replayability, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit in the story. They could just be a reskin or if you wanted to go the extra mile you you could give the alt-character similar abilities (Woody gets pistol-toy instead of laser, Bo-Peep throws sheep, Zurg uses his blaster, Ham shoots a coin, etc)
If you don't like the idea of doing it from beating the story, you could add other ways to unlock them.
Maybe they cost a variant of the pizza planet token instead (you could hide a few within the levels). This way you can have certain characters cost more than the others.
Or you could even add a character in some levels (Mr. Speak and Spell for example) who gives you a task to find letters. If you find all of them, it spells out the name of the character and you unlock it.
@@AgentHK-47 I REALLY like this idea... but the character you're thinking of was called Mr. Spell
Yes! This would be so cool. Reminds me of the spider-man 1 game from ps2 where you could play through the game as pretty much every character.
That idea kinda reminds me of what was done in the Disney infinity games (2-3 to be specific iirc) where in the second they had a specific amount of tokens (like in the Spider-Man playset, there was tokens for iron man and the hulk) and stuff with an extra animation showing their arrival, and 3 just had collectible tokens of each character that allowed you to play as them
How about making it so he can play as every other buzz lightyear from the movie? There were shelves full of extra characters!
Bro did not need to explain how everything worked, but my dork ass appreciated it. Usually people just say things like "So I added a light source to Buzz... Anyway!"
No way someone actually decided to do this. It’s a gods gift, very unexpected. Thank you sir, whoever you are
Man I hope your channel blows up in popularity because this is an incredible amount of work you’ve put in and very well done! I’ve subbed 😊
Wow! That's a bunch of stuff that went over my head. Great work!
Wow. This looks incredible! One of my favourite games growing up! I CANNOT wait to see more!
LOVE the glow in the dark light mechanic!
This was awesome man thanks for recreating one of my childhood classics
Oh no, I am early, I have to wait for the next video :D
Great stuff! Super fun to watch
This is a fantastic breakdown of a remaster. You are a scholar my friend. Please keep up the good work and thank you for your hard work.
Great work! Looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things you do with this AND BEYOND!
Great work and amazing breakdowns of each mechanic!
Thank you!
Saw your work over TikTok, I'd like to congrats on your efforts and results so far. This is one of my fav games, and was thinking to replay it anytime soon. Hope I can do it in your version
Great work! Loved the progress you made and how you showcased it in the video. Keep it up!
This looks absolutely amazing so far. I can't wait to see how the final product will look. Great video
Keep at it! I know I'm not alone in wanting to play this game again. Amazing work! Being able to switch from first to third person would be a nice modern touch ;) got yourself a new sub my man
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited about this that even my back stopped hurting after todays day at work!
I can't wait for further results, I keep my fingers crossed that the whole project will be successful!
Your remake is the version I remember playing after school xD
Loving the project, cant wait to see it finished and play 😍
Narrative! Love the plugin. The game looks fantastic! nice job :D
Hey D3kryption! :D Tell Ruebs that I said Narrative is great 😆 thank you for the kind words!
YESSSS!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REMAKE!!!
Great job!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was my absolute favorite game as a kid! cant wait to play this remake, it looks sick so far!
Childhood memories live on.
We appreciate all the hard work! Keep it up. Can’t wait to see what more you have in store for this series
Fantastic work! Buzz finally glows in the dark 🤩 I’d lean towards no portraits in the dialogue boxes, but you can always do a test to see how it looks
I'll definitely be following this. I have a similar fondness for this game--whenever I have a bad day, I boot this up and know every inch of these levels. Good luck on your journey in recreating it, I'll be cheering you on.
Thank you for the kind words :)
That looks amazing ! cant wait for new videos !
Brilliant! I remember playing the old game for the first toy story and this hit me with that nostalgia.
Man, this is the first game I ever remember, I played it multiple times. Nice work, I really want to see the future of this project. You won a sub
This is such a fun and cool project! You're doing such an awesome job too. Can't wait to see it come together in the end. Keep up the stellar work man.
Dawg u got an instant sub from me, I cant express how much I love what ur doing with this remaster, I truly hope u release this for download when its well and ready coz this game was one of my most rented video games from Blockbuster back when I was kid, this remaster is gonna stay in my head lmao
So many memories... So many hours of my childhood. Im so happy i came across this video 🙌🏻
So glad i came across this video! this was one of my favorite games as a kid and i still love playing it now and again, looking forward to more videos, this looks amazing!
This is absolutely incredible to watch and I feel like I learned a lot in a short period of time. Thank you so much for making it.
"why does this wall not just have 2 triangles" well thats because theyve stacked the entire wall over and over again so they get more texile density. If the entire thing was just ONE HUGE face it would take up too much texture room. Its essentially one tiny small plane duplicated a bunch of times to give you the illusion theres a whole wall.
Very cool, it’ll be exciting to follow along this journey of yours!
Brilliant video! Such fond memories of this game, looking forward to seeing the final version! Best of luck 👍
This is awesome man! I loved this game as a kid its cool to see you remaking it!
I am downloading/purchasing this when it's finished and playing the heck out of it. This was a massive part of my childhood. Kudos and keep it up!
Oh yeah, I was hoping to see this game be remade. We're gaming now boys!
About the Character portraits, I feel like they are a bit distracting and it feels a bit cheap, I think it works better to keep it as close to the original as possible. Maybe a bit of an ingame animation instead, like the head bopping up and down while talking, or the arms on certain characters moving around while explaining things. For Rex maybe even the jaw moving up and down if possible.
Amazing work! Can't wait to see the next update!
Wow incredible stuff man, randomly came across your channel and i'm hyped! Excited to see what you do!
This was my favorite game as a kid. Please complete the project and let the people play it. Keep up to work!
Two days ago I had this idea, with everyone remaking old games, I just tought remaking this could be awesome, and here we are, somebody did it, looks great man
it's weird I just recently played and finished the entire game 100% because as a kid it was just super hard now one day one more time will get to play this masterpiece childhood game keep it up !
Played the hell out of this game with my friends back on the PSOne days! Cheers from Brazil, keep up the good work!
OMG THIS IS GREAT!!! I love this game so much
I played tens of hours of this game on a shitty work laptop as a child. Thanks a lot for recreating this game
On the cusp of my 32nd birthday. Seeing this brings me joy. I've been wanting to see a lot of my favourite games from when I was a kid updated lately because most of the games coming out these days don't seem that interesting to me.
Putting the trello board in the description is genius, kudos, great video
i had the same idea to remake this game for years but never got around to it. its super cool to see someone else had the same idea and actually did it
I'm just getting into all fo this kind of stuff for the first time myself. You;re videos are super fun to watch as I'm learning this stuff and all the basics myself. Keep up the amazing work!
To this day, this remains one of my favorite games of all time. This was my banjo kazooie, dangit! Super cool to see this project, and can't wait to see what you've got in store.
Man what a nostalgia bomb. I loved this game as a kid. Good luck dude!
We got a demo of the PC version of this game free in a box of cereal when I was younger, and me and my little brother played it constantly. Thanks for the nostalgia hit.
DAMN, great shit. Hope to see more soon!
This game was my childhood and I always get emotional playing it, reminiscing about the memories. Thank you so much for making this video, it awakened the inner child in me again ❤️
Awesome, man! Made me wanna replay Toy Story 2 but with your build.
I'm excited to see the next dev log when it comes out. I've gone through this game at least twice in the past couple of years so seeing this game get updated with engine improvements is amazing to see. Hopefully more people can end up helping with the development process.
Thanks for watching! I'm a bit behind on the next video because I originally wanted it out on the 15th, but it is being edited at the moment, so it will be out soon! :)
@@Level_reDesign Take your time, king. Here's hoping that the timing plays out that us adults can play a year-2000 game while seeing Toy Story 5 in 2026. If we don't have tie-in movie games anymore, at least we can hope to have this.
this was one of my favorite games as a child. Holy W of a youtube recommendation, will be following too see how this project goes
This is Quality Content!!
First time seeing you, but keep going with the great work, amazing seriously.
This was one of my favorite games and now you made it even better!
Great vid! Excited to see how this turns out!!
Can't wait to see your progress!
i played some of the psp toy story games and this brings back memorys
i remember having the PC version, this was a great game! glad i found your channel. good luck with the development!
Great job so far, please make this work!:)
I completely forgot this game existed... thanks for bringing it back improved lol
This game, Spyro 2, and Speedpunks on the PS1 were childhood gems of mine. Speedpunks needs the same treatment lol. Thanks for watching!
Your channel is about to blow up with subs and views after this video, honestly this game is so nostalgic for me and many more, loved it so much growing up.
I already consider this "blowing up" lol. I expected like 2 thousand views...not 130,000 lol. This month, I have gained 150k views so far, and over 4k subs. It is crazy haha
@@Level_reDesign not sure the legal side of this but I’d happily pay money to get a copy of the finished product , genuinely 🙏🏻
Awesome work; can't wait to see this continue.
Amazing work, I tried to do remake of this game as well, I managed to get Buzz working and finished Andys room in unreal 4, but then I went onto another project sadly, Im so glad someone else remembers this amazing game and is fully remaking the first level so thank you so much for making this 🙂
I get the desire for working on new projects for sure! lol But unless Disney reaches out mad that I am making this project, I 100% guarantee that I am at least doing the first level. haha
I was thinking about trying to do this but im not confident enough yet. Im so glad someone else is. This game is terribly underrated.
Loved the game, this is looking amazing, can't wait to see more!
Dude. Awesome! You’re remaking one of my favorite ps1 games. Subscribed ❤
Good luck with this project man, hell yeah
Dude this is amazing!!! This is one of my favorite games of all time and a huge piece of my childhood. You clearly love this game as much as i. I trust your creative changes. Do the big head speech bubbles if ya want! I hope to be able to play it one day when you're done. This makes me so excited! ❤
Ohh the nostalgia!! I still have my PS1 copy of this one since 1999!
I traded in my copy to get a gamecube when I was very young. I had to rebuy it off of Ebay about 7 months ago when seeing if this was the game I wanted to remake lol
@@Level_reDesign Ohhh thats a shame!! But glad you could rebuy it! It was my first PS1 game and one of my first games of all time. Ive already subbed, Im reaaally looking forward to your next videos in this endeavor!
CZcams recommended this to me, it's like it knew this was my favourite game growing up and that I dream of a remake!
Anyway needless to say I just subscribed and will look forward to more! Don't know if this could ever be playable for anyone else but even if there was just a play through I could watch that would make me so nostalgic for this game ❤
Man I really appreciate the effort you've put into this because this is phenomenally impressive, it's fantastic work what you've done
I was playing this game a few weeks ago and I was thinking how cool a remake would be, I even though of doing it myself, I just never had the will to even start it, much less the knowledge, I'm so happy seeing someone doing it
Awesome work! This game was my childhood. Glad to see it getting some much needed attention
This is one of my childhood games! So many games out there needs a remake, and I wish you luck on this project.
If music also gets changed, I hope it still resembles the original but as awesome! Quite excited for this!!
I have the original music for the game downloaded to put in the game, but I may change the track from the original music in the 1st level to a different level's song. I think it is one of the weaker songs in the game funny enough even though it is the best level lol
@@Level_reDesign Fair enough, haha. With it being the first level, not long after Woody gets kidnapped, maybe a mix between worry and rescue like theme music could work sort of?
I'm not good with ideas myself, but I look forward to how it turns out regardless. (:
Also, don't worry about forgetting the spin attack. It took me 12 years to figure out Zurg's weakness, being the first boss that's immune to lasers. XD
This was my very first game. This sounds and looks awesome! Good luck!
Damn, no joke this is one the best ps1 games out there. Looking forward to updates...The game and the OST def deserve the remake! Great job.
This is dope! Persona styled dialogue seems like a cool feature to me.
This was one of the first video games I've ever played in my life. I thought I would never see footage of that game again. It's quite surreal not only to see it again, but also being recreated in UE5!
Dude, this is beyond awesome! bringing back my chilhood in HD!
Im very surprised no one has tried to do this yet! I grew up playing this game and i loved it and i bought it and played through it again on the ps5 and thought to myself how cool it would be if it got remade! Obviously you probably wont release this when its all done for reasons and thats fine, its just neat seeing you go for the challenge and remaking one of my favorite childhood ganes!
