WOWZERZ

Granted it'll probably take over a year to finish but holy shit this is ambitious. Hopefully he doesn't get any shit from Lucas Arts, EA, or Raven. Or at least if he does he can work something out with them.

Could this mean a possible revitalization of the jk2 community?

Stay tuned....

Interesting.

Best image by far:

oh god is this a mod or a goddamn game i have to buy again xD

This looks awesome.

I'd definitely pay money for it again if I had to

@Grimm It isn't a mod. It is a total remake of jk2 using the Unity Engine, meaning it is a separate game in itself.

He is still using most of the base code I believe but he's converting original objects to Unity assets and remodeling them. The game will be made in the Unity game engine but will be using the same code

He'll be able to use some of the code yes, but not everything can be ported. Which will take time. (ALOT of time, given the fact that he is doing SP first)

Well THIS sounds promising.
Maybe it will get some people to look into jk2 and join the multiplayer community.

I love BlueNinja

Ambitious plan, but very interesting and possibly promising. This will take A DAMN AMOUNT of time to finish both SP and MP. I am curious what it will do also with your in-game fps

Ingame FPS would be interesting!
But it's still JK2 in some way.
So a PC setup like mine *posing xD* shouldn't even bother xD

Xaso is bae <3

This will take a long time though for sure, even to get through the SP, I'm probably gonna see if the guy needs help with anything when I have the time, maybe throw him a few dollars if need be. Super super excited and hopeful for this project.

Has he thought about doing a Kickstarter for it? It might be a good way to get some funding. I'm sure there's loads of people who would want to see a HD remake.

I don't think he can Kickstart it.
There are copyright issues and stuff.

How can there be copyright issues when they released the source to the game?

1 day or 1 week.

The room that was commented was this one:

Spoiler:

And about FPS, I remember reading that the dev said he would make it work for different level of systems, but I can't seem to find it. However I did find this tho:

I am currently planning to release the base version with texture sizes around 0.5K and 1K textures and a mid range pack with 1K & 2K textures, as well as a high range one with up to 4K textures for characters.

Kejim outpost? xD

that means what..?

That means, that the quality of textures will be able to be changed in settings.

Source code...didn't thought of that

WHY DOSEN'T HE KICKSTART IT?

He doesn't have time to do it?

I'm actually glad I didn't hear about this earlier, because he's probably a fairly decent way into development by now (his first update on that webpage was back in May, 2013).
It's really cool there's people out there who like JK2 so much that they'd put their effort into something like this. I might contact him aswell and see if there's anything small I could help out with.

One of the comments (page 8 ) links to a separate thread full of suggestions. He ended up confirming a few of the ideas.
Here's the specific ideas:
   3. Improve the ​​enemy and ally AI.
   4. Improve the graphics.
   9. Self-regenerative shield for both the player and the Force users enemies and allies.
   24. The fighting styles with the lightsaber would differ in more defensive or more offensive, not more speed or more damage.
   28. The most interesting thing would make the Force powers are like the powers of Advent Rising game, which are similar to the powers of The Force Unleashed but better, but this will probably require another engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEeL6owUUr4
   29. Being able to throw the lightsaber as far as the eye reaches.

...and his response:
   3. Improve the ​​enemy and ally AI. - In the works!
   4. Improve the graphics - I am on it!
   9. Self-regenerative shield for both the player and the Force users enemies and allies. - Right now it's a bug, but since you mentioned it, I might aswell make it a feature!
   24. Definitely on my ToDo list Same goes for 28,29.
