This project aims to recreate the levels and playing experience of the LucasArts game Dark Forces using the modern 3D engine found in the game Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast.

We will be re-creating all 14 levels found in the original game and bringing them into the 21st century.

Given the capabilities of the modified Quake 3 engine this project is very exciting indeed. Weapons, enemies and models will be re-created aswell as other features of the original game.

Soon you'll be playing Dark Forces with gorgeous visuals, brilliant effects and fantastic playability!

As Kyle Katarn, mercenary and agent of the Rebel Alliance, infiltrate the secret Imperial base to steal the plans for the Death Star and travel to distant locations as you track down clues to unravel the mystery of the Dark Trooper.

Choose wisely from an arsenal of weapons including Bryar Pistol, Imperial Blaster, Thermal Detonator, Imperial Repeater, Fusion Cutter, Anti-personnel Mines, Mortar Gun, Concussion Rifle, and the Dark Trooper Assault Cannon.

Test your skills in 14 greatly enhanced missions

Interact with legendary Star Wars characters such as Storm Troopers, Imperial Commandos, Gammorean Guards, Dianogas, Boba Fett, Grans, Trandoshans, Jabba the Hutt, Kell Dragons, and of course all 3 iterations of the fearsome Dark Trooper.

Hear the original music exactly as the composer intended.

Powered by a modified version of the widely acclaimed Quake 3: Team Arena engine, you'll enjoy the game as never before with high resolution graphics, hardware accelerated performance, true 3D environments, stunning sound and music effects, and in-engine cutscenes which complete the entire 14 mission story.

Looks very nice. My main concern is the 3D models. When they have a template from another Star Wars 3D game (like the soldiers and weapons) it works, but certain monsters have to be created from scratch. Those tend to look "not good".

I thought jedi knight 2 contained most of the models they need already, i encoutered a lot of startroopers and other bastards while playing it anyway. Maybe just some special characters.

Stormtroopers are easy as they are already "built-in". I'm talking about things like the creatures in the sewage at the sewage plant and the "dragon" that appears later on.

Hm, I don't remember the dragon. I do remember these Terminator-kinda robots and things. I don't believe Jedi Outcast would have those models. Then again, my computer's too slow to run Jedi Outcast. 🙁 🙁 🙁

Oh, wait, you meant the Kell Dragon. Ah.

For the record, these are ALL the enemies in Dark Forces (not including any and all mods/conversions)

BTW, I've posted about this before. Glad to see their demo finally came out. 😀

I dunno. I have Jedi Knight and the expansion pack and I thought both were quite bad. That said, I don't like Star Wars, so...

Me either. Never have. The first 3 movies ( 😉 That oughta bring the Star Wars junkies outta hiding...) were bearable but the most recent ones were crap. Ahhh, Two Towers will be out in the UK soon! Yeah!

I'd think you all would know where I stand on the like/dislike issue by now:

I've left even more detritus in my wake online as well.

ANYHOW... 😜
