1:59 I hope he's okay

This makes it seem like you're actually using a lightsaber instead of a glowing baseball bat.

Something Disney appears to have forgotten: light sabers are lethal weapons that burn, melt and split things.

Bro.. after seeing this, the reality of how horrifying it would be getting diced up from a saber is really setting in…

I didn't know the mod scene for these games was so strong. Super sick work

I love how the simple addition of dividing an npc into two or more physics objects upon death instantly turns this from a fun action game to a horror movie

This is brilliant. It shows the magnitude of terror you'd face having someone with a lightsaber coming at you.

This really puts into perspective how much of a boss fight a Jedi or Sith is

I still remember how I was amazed at how powerful lightsabers were when I first saw the prequel. Seeing how lightsabers literally cut a person in half and went through a reinforced door like hot knife through butter is part of what make lightsaber such an iconic weapon in the cinematic universe. And now, lightsabers are just a bunch of glorified glowsticks that make cool swooshing sound and visual effect is terribly disappointing. People are recovering from being impaled by lightsaber left right and center like "don't worry mate, it's just a flesh wound"

This really puts into perspective of how skilled Jedi must be to not cut their own limbs off every time they use a Lightsaber.

I don't think I had ever fully processed how terrifying a Jedi would be. It actually makes their super hippy code make sense, to temper what they're capable of doing

I did not expect this to go so unbelievably hard

This is what everyone wants, a realistic game, I love it!

Lately, it seems, the lore says light sabres give you a nasty burn that heals perfectly in a couple of days.

Lightsabers being treated like a baton killed my enjoyment of these games so much. Watching this video gave me the chills because it shows how powerful jedi are.

I’m pretty sure lightsabers would slice through an arm or leg very quickly, but something that is much larger with more mass and a larger cutting width and cross sectional area will take longer to cut through. There is more mass to heat up, so despite the insane temperature difference of a lightsaber, it might take < 1s to cut through the a torso, but maybe 2s to cut through the giant creature’s arm. You would have to maintain lightsaber contact and push it through the flesh. At first the lightsaber would travel quickly through flesh, but the velocity of the blade would slow down as you are slicing a big creature’s limb. I say this not only because of heat transfer science, but because in the Phantom Menace, when Qui Gon was trying to cut through the blast doors and it took some time. Because the metal was so thick (big cutting width and cross sectional area), had a lot of mass (high density and big volume) and the material properties of the metal appear to have a high heat capacity making it capable of absorbing more heat, therefore taking longer to cut through. Heat transfer is a function of time. The time depends on the cross sectional area, thickness, and thermal conductive properties (density and heat capacity) and temperature difference.

the fact modders so easily added collision to lightsabers and the devs couldn't do it is so strange, it improves immersion so much

This really shows how terrifying it would be to fight a Jedi/sith A space wizard with telekinesis and an unstoppable sword

Damn, that looks incredible. For anyone who played Star Wars games as a child, this is the ultimate dream.

The games should have a Sekiro-style posture meter for saber fights, wearing your opponent down before the killing strike

It shows you how far the _Star Wars_ brand has fallen under Disney when "What if lightsabers weren't just glowing baseball bats?" is considered a radical new concept.

Knowing the one shot capability makes grevious and mauls fighting style even more horrifying

Imagine you're a storm trooper and you just saw one of your homies get hacked like this... *starts removing stormtrooper gear* "imperial what?... no way dude. never heard of em... I actually just decided to become a bantha farmer... like 2.5 seconds ago"

This is all we want in a lightsaber game !!

Damn, I didn’t expect it to be this crazy

This really reminds you about how brutal lightsabers would actually be in reality without guidelines and PG ratings.

This puts into perspective how absolutely serious the intent is when a weilder ignites their blade.

Oh my, are those custom animations I see from enemies losing limbs? Man this really makes me feel like Force Unleashed made me feel, and this one is even more realistic with enemies going down in a single hit! I dont even own Survivor yet and im excited for this mod!

THIS is what all Star Wars fans have forever wanted to see at least ONCE

That looks absolutly horrifying. They dont even show it that graphic in the movies. Now I would shit my pants if some voodoo dude ignites that thing lol. I wish they displayed it more like this. It makes you really understand the power behind a Jedi/Sith.

The sheer terror of seeing your friends chopped in half was probably enough to end most battles.

"An elegant weapon for a more civilized age"

For the record the music is Eye For An Eye (by Mark Quayle) from The Last Of Us Part II soundtrack

FINALLY SOME ONE DID IT. This was so satisfying to finally watch lightsabers do what they would really do.

I remember this was a setting you could add to the old Jedi Knight games. It was always a must.

Bro turned Fallen Order into Jedi Knight

I love the 'throbbing' background music you put in here. Really adds that dark overtone that helps to showcase that this is a dangerous weapon and it is going to be used... _properly._

A Star Wars horror film would slap. imagine a deranged Sith just hunting down people with this kind of violence. Straight nightmare fuel

I remember when Jedi Outcast multiplayer originally had a dismemberment feature but it was hidden in the files because it was considered too graphic. Thankfully there was a way to enable it and it made the game a lot more lore-accurate. That was a fun game.

Thats awesome, cant wait to try it out. Thank you for the work you put in it to share with everybody, i wont forget to donate!

Imagine a hardcore game like this where light sabers could just instant kill pretty much anything but 2 or 3 blasts from troopers can also kill you.

Im just now realizing how impractical a lightsaber would be if you ever found yourself fighting on a spaceship

Just imagine what they found in the temple after order 66...and Anakin did it all.

Awesome work. Have never understood what a terrifying weapon a lightsaber is, until this. This was scary!

I don’t think anyone would get tired of one shotting most enemies because this is literally what the blade does. Cutting the limbs off that beast with one strike sent shivers down my spine. We really need something like this, a love letter to the fans.

i want...this

Ahh Yes, my favorite metal gear rising mod. Star wars

A new Jedi Knight game NEEEEEEDS to be made with this!

This is absolutely insane. I was always frustrated how lightsabers were ridiculously underpowered in these games, almost electrostaff level.

Absolutely blown away, wow, the music and the whole thing is outstanding, as other comments say, finally someone does justice.

Yes, I'll be following your (mod's) progres with great interest

I watched the first half of this video on mute without knowing it. I was doing the sound-effects in my head

Imagine a world where Star Wars was made for adults and was as brutal as this.

I can't even describe how awesome this is, and how impressive it is that one person managed it on their own.

This is so satisfying to watch. I wish we could see realistic lightsabers in new Star Wars content.

Yellow lightsaber zabrak looks sick

If the fighting was like this, the next step is making some sort of routing mechanic. Like every time one of the enemies gets fully bisected there's an increasing chance that the others just say, "Fuck this, I'm leaving." Like it seems pretty wrong that the last guy is standing there surrounded by glowing bits of his friends and still fighting like normal. It would also give players a really organic way to roleplay the difference between a dark and light side force user, by either letting them go or running them down.

U can easily balance one shot with lightsabers by increasing lethality of landed shots from enemies, reducing accuracy, and increasing enemy counts. Much preffered over spongey enemies resisting the laser sword.

The lightsaber really demands MGS Revengeance physics.

In the old Jedi Academy game it was similar (without the bisections and whatnot) you could one shot anyone with lightsabers - even bosses. Its just bosses are more "skilled" so a lot more parrying and dodging around. But if you get lucky, the boss battle could start and you just one shot them with the light saber :P (it works both ways though).

They need to make a game like this. And when Jedi fight each other, it can be like Sekiro where you have to break their guard to kill them

This looks like a horror movie

Imagine showing someone from the 80’s this video

Now if you have accurate light sabers you also need accurate blasters. So basicly a one shot adventure. One mistake you die, One enemy mistake they die, I think that could be fun

This really shows how awesome lightsabers are, instead of some kids toys they usually appear as.

Yeah i always hated that about the majority of star wars games vs the movies. Lightsaber battles are supposed to be highly dangerous duels but here we are in most games cracking your lightsaber against a stormtrooper or battle droid at least 5 times before you get a kill Edit: damn didnt expect but also cant say im suprised that so many people agree with me. Was playing swtor last night and also found it humorous that my imperial bounty hunter is taking on jedi knights in close range combat (though my headcanon for this is that he's wearing beskar) and just tanking one lightsaber strike after the other.

Reminds me of games with difficulty settings where it multiplies the damage you AND your enemies take (Madness: Project Nexus comes to mind) (this is my favorite approach to difficulty ever) You've simply made the games better

Never seen 1 Star Wars movie where a lifesaver has cut anyone in half

This is why I loved the old Jedi Knight games, the lightsabers felt incredibly powerful compared to how they feel now.

Interesting how the jedi call THIS, cutting people inti pieces civilised, but simply burning a hole in someones head with a blaster uncvilised. 😂

Remember Jedi Knight 2 and Academy? Because they did JUST that.

I like how there’s arm and leg dismemberment in the new one :)

Imagine the smell

I’ve always liked it more when lightsabers actually scorch whatever surface they touch, even if it just lightly brushes it unintentionally. You’re dealing with a literal laser sword, so it’s odd when certain mediums completely forget that a lightsaber would leave a mark on literally anything it touches.

Luke in them black robes is so awesome. Amazing work

So good to see my boy Starkiller again even if it is just a mod.

This is beyond perfection. I'm sick of having the lightsaber feeling like a baseball bat.

I think this is partly why Jedi train so much with their sabers. An untrained person could not only potentially hurt themselves, but LOOK at the carnage caused by such wild swings!

The Rouge One Scene really puts that red beam of terror into perspective when you mix it with this.

meanwhile disney: *lightsaber through the gut* ah it's all good, put a band aid on it

The fact that you can see the burnt insides of the stormtroopers is so brutal. If lightsabers were indeed one-hit kill, then the game designers would probably have the right to just spawn a whole army of stormtroopers.

Jedi Knight games were amazing for this. Your saber left marks on the ground and walls. And you could cut heads off, arms and legs off, cut them in half. Not all at once of course, the game came out on like, 04. But it had some of the best lightsaber combat out there

Thank you! So many games make lightsabers glow sticks that chip away at HP, instead of what they essentially are, superhot plasma beams that cuts through so much.

this is so satisfying to watch im tired if watching the lightsaber just bounce off like a rubbery glowstick

Back in Jedi Knight II there was a console command to up the severing stat for lightsabers to be "instant" and it made the game play like this. Of course it meant you also instantly died if you accidentally let your light saber clip through one of your own limbs like using light saber throw.

This is sick! This is what we need in games! :)

We need a free Star Wars game where you can just slash through enemies as any character you want. Throw in blasters too

this would make star wars games from rated T to rated M

I feel bad for the guy who gotta clean that up

This really is the game we all wanted why can’t these companies simply deliver this quality 👍🏻

Whole squad is- Cut into pieces..

I never played the Avengers game but when the lightsaber doesn't cut off limbs and maim people the way it should it gives me the same feeling as Thor slamming regular humans in the face with Mjolnor and them just sorta falling over. It takes away from the weapon itself, it makes it feel like a toy.

0:49 is terrifying. Doesn't matter how many people there will be in a hallway. If Darthmaul spins the double bladed it must feel like walking through a mixer

I need an entire game of this

I WISH 😭😭😭 dynamic lightsaber dismemberment would be sooo satisfying.

Love that even tho you are cutting them in half there isn't a mess, because just as they are being cut they are also cauterized with the heat

That was the best part about the jedi knight games. Not only were they dismembering people when you killed them, just getting knicked in a duel does significant damage. You really felt like you had power with the lightsaber.

Brutal and beautiful at the same time.

can you tell how much of a deterrent this is? even when a jedi is facing dozens of enemies. seeing your friends being turn into sushi its terrifying

If this is what these games were actually like, I'd play them
