Mysteries of the Sith Remastered

What it is

Mysteries of the Sith Remastered takes the game onto newer engines and adds updated textures and models. Version 5.11, the OpenJKDF2 base, installs in one go: the OpenJKDF2 engine, the Mysteries of the Sith Neural Upscale Texture Pack, the Enhancement Mod for JkGfxMod (MotS Edition) 0.50 and an in-game cutscenes mod. PC Gamer called version 3 "a generational model and texture facelift", more or less in line with Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, with an upscaled UI and a custom-modelled lightsaber for Mara Jade. The 5.11 hot fixes by Shimstock include a Dromund Kaas swamp crash and cutscene placement with the ForcePowers+ mod. Because it runs on OpenJKDF2, a newer OpenJKDF2 build can be dropped in after installing. A separate JKGFXMOD 5.11 build for Windows 7 runs on the original game; its author recommends the full 5.11 if your machine can run it.

• One installer: the OpenJKDF2 engine, the Mysteries of the Sith Neural Upscale Texture Pack, the Enhancement Mod for JkGfxMod (MotS Edition) 0.50 and an in-game cutscenes mod
• A model and texture facelift in line with Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy (PC Gamer, on version 3), with a custom-modelled lightsaber for Mara Jade
• Built on OpenJKDF2, whose newer builds drop in after installing; a JKGFXMOD 5.11 build for Windows 7 covers older machines

Verdict: A patient its own cutscenes betrayed, now wearing a face from the next decade, on an engine you can swap like a part. I approve.HK-47's verdict
