JK ain't quite dead yet, 2 more awesome mods in development

[friedmetroid]

First up is JK2 1.05, or JK+ a mod for JK2 which is in a similar vein to JA+ for JKA (except without JKA's shitty gameplay). In fact, the mod allows server owners to select 1.02, 1.03, or 1.04 style gameplay for their server. Includes awesome features like vehicle support, grapple, a combo based melee system, staff sabers and other such things.

 

 

Second is "MB3"

 

This is the first I've heard of this mod, which apparently aims to bring the gameplay of Movie Battles to the Unreal 3 engine.

Doesn't really count as 'Jedi Knight' I suppose but this is the first video I've seen of someone bringing the same style of gameplay to another engine.

I am extremely excited for the unreal engine thing.

MB III Looks cool. With a little more work I can imagine this being fun.

Such overpowering saberness! JK2 mod does look good but I've never been of a JK2'er. The MB3 on UT3 looks pretty sweet for what they're trying to do, but that is so overpowered! Guess they're doing the best they can with the engine's capabilities. Would love to see more from that development.

I'd love to see a JK mod, with changeable damages, hopefully this MB3 UT3 mod will allow that, just straight up DM not objective based like MB2 this could be what the JK community has been looking for. the models look great on this engine, I really hope that the animations they make will be above par.

That JK2 Mod looks awesome, the MB3 mod however, does not.

 

I guess I have to take into account that it is still in beta, but I hope they can make it into something enjoyable.
