Kyle's face at the end of the facebook video, oh god

[Jango40]

this is cool

That's pretty cool! The first video looked a lot like normal JA though.

[Pande]

It looks like they imported the animations from JKA for that first video, which was really surreal to see haha.

[eezstreet]

Eww, that second video looks like they imported the JKA models at the highest LOD. Do not want. I'm glad to see that Raven's Claw animation, that was really cool.

All the dialogue/sounds too from the cultists.  Made me get nostalgic for a second.

[Scorpion]

Wow. This is actually pretty impressive. And I might take some mapping ideas from that first trailer, the whole surroundings looked nice.

Can't wait to see where this goes. I bid the creators good luck.

[Stoiss]

Stunning Video's, ofc the sounds was ported but how it look it was realy well done maked i think

[Tempust85]

Looks like the faces may have been turbosmoothed (3ds Max modifier for increasing polys), then stuck into UDK with an auto generated normal map from the diffuse.

 

The work done here is impressive, but for the love of god use Hapslash's improved models. Those Stormtroopers are horrible lol.

[Ory'Hara]

have to agree with eez on the 2nd vid, the anims were epic, but the textures, nothing was improved, lol.

 

totally new textures are needed to match the quality of the unreal engines capabilities

[CaptainCrazy]

Worked a lot with the Unreal Engine and often thought about re-making certain games on it but it ca  be a pain without good coders xD

[minilogoguy18]

The first video had a lot of models, sounds and most of the animations were from JO/JA.

[therfiles]

This is really cool. The Bane video looked really good, despite JA content. I was really impressed, and this looks really promising. Can't wait to see what projects like MBIII will do with Unreal.

 

And while the anims were the same - they seemed much smoother and more fluid.

I do agree but I'm worried about the copyright issues for them, they have great intentions and a great production but I'm afraid that they'll get  "shut down," as it were, for copyright violations.  I've seen it happen so many times... However Lucas Arts just got taken over by Disney so who knows?  Disney seem more lenient when it comes to things like this

[Tempust85]

I doubt MBIII will get shutdown. EA are fully aware of Star Wars Battlecry which is now a direct competition for Battlefront 3 and that project is still going strong with no C&D.

 

 

The goal for JO in UDK is a fan-made movie of the game, so this should be fine as well.

Awesome news! I always thought using game's assets (in this case SW's) is perfectly fine as long as you're not commercializing the result. Why would they C&D a fan project that promotes their original work? I guess I just don't understand that and why people are apprehensive about it.

[Tempust85]

Yeah, they've already squeezed alot of moolah from JO the game and it's over 10 years old now so they should be like "hey cool, someone's making that JO game into a movie".

[Scorpion]

Alsooo, the source code is released. So basically ANYTHING is fine as long as you give credit, and if it's a mod, release your own source code alteration of the original, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong, @@therfiles

[Onysfx]

Nice. Kyle's face looks a little wide eyed xD.

 

Games that I would definitely love to see on UDK would have to be metroid prime 1, 2, and...well not 3, that's good where it is xD. (Yes, I know metroid prime 1 and 2 already run on the unreal engine 2 xD)

That's true for the code, not for the assets though.

[Ory'Hara]

thats true for the assets too, lol. frag the corporate empire

Oh ok, that's interesting.

Stop saying stupid things, Kyle.

[minilogoguy18]

The guy doing the JO movie should definitely increase facial polygons and work on a better weight map for the face. Looks like the old game still with better shaders.

[CaptainCrazy]

Battlefront 3?  Awesome!
