Lightsources Joker Model Pack

Description
With The Dark Knight breaking box office records in the fashion that Batman himself might break a crooks head, we have had a lot of Dark Knight themed skins recently. Among them a fair few Jokers, all of which were good skins. However Lightsource fresh from his recent triumph; making the best [file=93102]Batman skin-pack[/file] out there now brings us his version of the most infamous movie villain of the year, the Joker!

As you would expect from a modder of Lightsource’s skill, the attention to detail and accuracy of this skin-pack is quite stunning. Just look at that face! To be honest, I think that is probably about as close as you can get in terms of accuracy to the makeup caked face of the Joker himself. The clothes are also incredibly accurate, both in terms of modelling and textural detail. Adding to that are the new sounds, which have been taken directly from the film itself, including the Jokers favourite; “Why so serious?!”.

However, we dot just have the Joker in this pack, we also have one of his clown-masked goons. Unfortunately though this isn’t available as a player skin, but rather as a bot. Infact all the skins in this pack have bot support, but the goon is the only one that cant be selected as a player skin. Again though, even despite this, it is obvious that a lot of time and effort has been put into making this skin / model too. The texturing is accurate, and so is the modelling, creating an impressive likeness to those loveable Joker goons in the movie. ;)

That’s not all though, the pack also includes a Joker themed HUD, which comes in a separate .pk3. Actually there are two .pk3s for this HUD, one which you put in your base folder as normal, and one which has been designed to work with JA+ which you will need to put in your JA+ folder (instructions in the readme). Graphically the HUD looks great, with the familiar coloured bars indicating, health, shields, ammo and force replaced by ‘Joker cards’ of different kinds, whilst the HUD itself is actually drawn in red in a sketchy, kind of psycho style, fitting to the Jokers personality.

Wait, I haven’t finished yet! Also included are some new loading screens that show up when the game loads and when you load a map, scribbled over in Joker style, with big red smiles and green hair drawn on the faces of the two characters on the map loading screen. Akin to the scribbles you see on the mayors face on a newspaper in the film. Also scribbled on the loading screens are some of the Jokers favourite one-liners.

And if all of that wasn’t enough, we also have a new weapon included too, which is both available for the player to use and also is used by the goon bots, one of the Jokers many knives.

Now, as for things that could be improved upon…well to be honest I am at quite a loss to think of anything. This is a well rounded and all-inclusive pack here, which contains everything you need to become the Joker, if you so choose. One thing I would suggest is to perhaps make the Joker goon a playable character, or maybe even make a new pack full of different kinds of Joker goons from the movie.

Apart from that the only other thing I would ask is…please make a Commissioner Gordon skin! We now have Batman, the Joker and Harvey Dent / Two Face. Now all we need is Commissioner Gordon! :D

All in all then excellent work from Lightsource here. This is a must download for fans of Batman or the Joker!

Oh and one last thing…
