Master Chief looks sick on the PS3 with Unreal III user mod

Master Chief looks sick on the PS3 with Unreal III user mod screenshot

Confession time -- I've only installed one user created mod designed to work with the PlayStation 3 version of Unreal Tournament III. Prior to its release, I was positive that the capability would yield some really interesting results on the console, and was pretty excited to check them out. Then life and work happened.

But these Unreal Tournament III character mods by community modder Organ are too ridiculous to ignore. Just check out Master Chief, for instance, who's looking as good -- if not better -- than he does in Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. Organ has also created some pretty slick looking character models of Gears of Wars' Macrus Fenix and the Locust, in addition to Todd McFarlane's Spawn and Final Fantasy's Cloud. This is impressive work indeed, but it's only a matter of time before the legal hounds are released on some of these puppies.

I haven't had a chance to check them out on my system, but I think I'm going to take some time out of my schedule tonight. You can see more images here along with links for downloads. Unfortunately, they're all available via Megaupload, and I was bombarded with messages about how there are hot singles in my area waiting for me to call them. My wife is not pleased.

[Thanks, Peter!]

Is it sad user-created mods for a single game make me want a PS3 more than anything else I've seen for it?

Also, it's sadly evident he spent the most time with the Chief mod. The others don't quite look as detailed to me, although it'd be hard to make Spawn more detailed. The Gears ones don't do it for me and the Crysis dude's body is out of proportion. Not saying I could do better (not even close) but Chief is clearly the shining star of that bunch.

Nick, I think you should know this.

Organ didnt create the models, he just ported them to the PS3. He credits the authors in all his posts saying so. Most of the models were made by EvilEngine, but some were also made by Davision and Loki. There are a few others as well. Organ is just allowing them to be converted and played on the ps3.

@ Qraze

the community is called Facepunch Studios. It's not an actual development studio.

They rip models out of games and other interactive media and put them into other games and mods, like G-Mod for Half-Life 2.

Look them up.

These models were created by EvilEngine NOT Organ. Organ only cooked these for the PS3 without EE's consent and on top of that they are only BETAs. All the modeling was done by EvilEngine and you can find his REAL releases at:

Please update your article.
NyghtcrawleR's Avatar
NyghtcrawleR at 03/27/2008 16:56

XONE, not completely true. Some of the models arent EE's. Most are. I mentioned to Nick twice before you have here and he never changed them. On top of that Organ credited EE, never once did he say they were his. Also EE now has on his own site the betas Organ cooked.

Please, please credit the original creators such as EvilEngine with regards to the mods mentioned in your article.

You may fall back with that "it's the internet" excuse, but c'mon at least show some respect for the hardwork done by the original creators here.

please give credit to the modder EvilEngine and his fellow crew at http://www.evilengine.net/forum

this model was cooked without consent and it is still in beta

other models and updates are available
