The current list of video game all-stars making unauthorized appearances in Unreal Tournament 3 thus far includes Master Chief from Halo, Samus Aran from Metroid and now Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Specifically, we're talking about Old Snake from MGS 4, the latest top biller to get a fan made UT3 mod.
We may be jumping the gun a bit here, as the modder currently slaving away on Old Snake is still, well, slaving away. But the attempt by modder "genZ" is already looking solid. Pun unfortunately intended. Who out there with some Zbrush or 3D Studio Max skills is willing to whip up a very threatening Mega Man?

His butt is all wrong.
If UT3 is going to keep getting these awesome mods I might have to go buy it. It crossed my mind for about 3 seconds a week before it came out, but perhaps I was wrong.
So why has nobody made one of any of the Kotaku Staff or Mario yet? I assumed those would be of top priority.
Buying UTIII soon...
Meh, not much into it. The model is neat, but far from appealing (well, for me anyways... and I'm an avid MGS fan too =p)
Where are the GI Joe characters? Destro FTW..wrist rockets and all baby.
@Polywhirl: Mario could be a little tough. I mean he is all about 4 foot nothing and about 170 to 180 pounds. It could be a little tough.
hopefully MS will allow user created content, and the created content will be cross compatible (or easily convertible) between the PS3 and 360. looks sweet though
Put Mr. garrison in UT:3
@enewtabie: dude... you are getting it all wrong. Snake Eyes FTW!
[www.myuselessknowledge.com]
Yeah... him vrs Storm Shadow.
@enewtabie and Balance_In_Life (PSN): I look at GI Joes like Bash looks at Transformers, with fond old memories that would be crushed if I were to actually see the show today
@Polywhirl:
Funny you should mention it, because I plan on making a Marcus McWhertor and Dom Crecente model for UT3.
They'll be making people eat shit and die.
@CyberG4: If it's possible it wouldn't be because Microsoft wanted it that ay, it would be Epic's doing. And besides, Microsoft regulates everything, you can't just straight download something like this as you can on the PS3.
@Kj719: Uhh... you do realize that there is a live motion GI-Joe movie in the works right?
[www.imdb.com]
Sorry to break the news to ya bro. I feel it might be a train wreck kinda like Street Fighter and DB. It makes me die inside.
Since we're in the elderly character spirit how about some more old people? Larry King has already proved himself in the wrestling ring, Zardoz era Sean Connery would be spectacular, and I don't know about you but I always thought deep down inside Andy Rooney is a warrior not to be trifled with.
Before ragging on the model, remember it hasn't been through Z-Brush (or Mudbox) yet. The model is topologically sound except for the feet. Needs to get rid of those tris. :P
thats a sick model. I'd love too see a frank west model or some resident evil models for UT3
@Kj719: lol..I still have all the comics from the 80s.Plus there is a new movie coming out too. @Balance_In_Life (PSN): Always been a cobra fan..Firefly would be a good one too.
@enewtabie: I could deal with Firefly. Maybe it's because they were the good guys but I've always been a Joe fan.
Remember... knowing if half the battle.
I've got a little modeling experience under my belt. Nothing anywhere near this quality though.
This would take me weeks.
plus, this isn't showing any texture or bump maps. Both of which increase the attractiveness immensely.
Wow....This is damn nice.
Right, so where's the cast of all the other characters? Still lacking Mister Crow :(
So when is the actual MGS4 game going to ship? I'm just saying, maybe Snake from Metal Gear Solid should be in, you know, Metal Gear games.
@OMG! Ponies!: I think it's been mentioned many times before on other articles - June 12th if there are no sudden changes
I personally think the gentleman at this post is more on the right track. It isn't the new(older) snake, but this feels like MGS to me,
[forums.epicgames.com]
and here is one of the several screens he has up, [img266.imageshack.us]
@Polywhirl: Crecente hair physics would bring the graphics card to its knees.
@Sentientv2: Yeah they also are making a MGS2 snake...it looks pretty neat
I asked for it, they delivered! thanks!
I wish they could take solid snake from SSBB why?, because it just doesnt fight well (it really s_cks), if they could take it our with a patch and replace it with LEON from RE4, that would be awesome...
The ass isn't nearly big enough. That's no Snake. :(
@Bigfoot, YUYU: Okay, that's the second post like that.
Am I the only person oblivious to Snake's ass?
@Erwin: Snake has the biggest, perfectly rendered man-ass in gaming history. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v43/Bazja/ava10205yd1th.jpg
I'm seriously considering trading in Call of Duty 4 for UT3, but that would be feeding the corporate villain that is GameStop. Public Enemy would be ashamed of me.
@YUYU: Even better: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v43/Bazja/lolsnake.jpg
I'd love to see a Megaman mod in UTIII
Just something that has been bugging me; "mod", while short for "model" actually refers to "modification". In relation to Unreal Tournament, that means modifying gameplay, changing weapons or something. A new character model doesn't actually do anything. Since the game is first person you can't even see it yourself most of the time.
@cyblaster: And I think it's been mentioned as a whole slew of other dates too. It's rapidly becoming Metal Gear Forever.
@OMG! Ponies!: They attempted a November release date, but weren't ready. So if 'two' amounts to 'too many,' I guess you'd be correct.
they need to put some smoothing groups on that model. But if they do a high poly zbrush model then they are gonna need to add smoothing groups. It'll look really good once they get a normal map on it.
can we get another Samus model? the one that's available is weak. If Gi Joe Characters are being made then we need Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow Zartan, The Dreadnaughts (AKA Cold slither) and Serpentor.
How about some Quake3 characters since Id won't give us a proper Quake 3: Arena sequel. Kratos would be great...I wouldn't mind seeing a T800 in there either.
has anyone made a companion cube yet? come on, you know you want it!
