Star Wars Battlefront "Real Life" Mod Looks Amazing

You can watch it in 4K and 60 frames per second, too.

98 Comments

Back in November, a mod that enhanced the graphics of Star Wars Battlefront was showcased through screenshots. And now the first footage of the mod has been released and can be viewed in 4K and 60 frames per second.

YouTuber Jackfrags posted a video of the mod in action today, set to a piano cover of "Where Is My Mind?" by the Pixies. It showcases footage of the various modes on Tatooine, Hoth, and Endor. Most of the footage is comprised of stormtroopers and rebels in the midst of battle; however, it ends with an interaction between Darth Vader and a scout trooper that is definitely worth seeing.

The SweetFX Real Life mod was created by Martin Bergman, who created a similar mod for Grand Theft Auto V. According to his LinkedIn profile, he's previously worked at Activision in a QA Localization/Functionality capacity. He also shares much of his modding work on his "Toddyhancer" Facebook page.

Star Wars Battlefront launched last month on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It received a score of 7 in GameSpot's review, which said the first 10 hours are packed with exciting moments, but it doesn't go much deeper than its ambitious surface appeal.

That looks pretty sweet, but I'm really digging that Pixies piano rendition.

Admittedly, that looks gorgeous...makes it all the more disappointing that the game is apparently to shallow.

I'd rather have better fps than those graphics but that's just me.

With visuals like this the game could have been something legendary. But instead we got a sub-par, DLC machine of an FPS.

Sweet FX is only a lighting and colour mod though isn't it ? It doesn't actually add any detail to environments?

@deviltaz35: It can mess and add with Anti-Aliasing styles too. I believe it can also adjust ambient occlusion methods as well.

@NbAlIvEr10000: Ok thanks , yeah i have used it on occasion but personally i thought it made Witcher 3 look worse as an example. I loved how it already looked.

I guess it just comes down to personal taste. Some people like garish colours others like muted colours in games.

@kifflamkifflam: Well you're only really a peasant if you think that consoles are somehow better than PC in terms of overall gaming experience, at least that's what PCMR members who aren't douchebags tend to claim. If you're interested in getting a gaming pc someday though it really is just as affordable as console gaming and I'd be happy to give suggestions as to what parts you could buy for a great budget build :) You're only a console gamer for as long as you want to be, and if you like both consoles and pc, you can still play on both. That's what's great about the gaming industry!

Very nice graphics but too bad there's no single player campaign story. Trash and forget it bin it goes.

Now if only half the effort they put into the graphics was put into making enough content so it's worth $60 for a multiplayer only game. If you're gonna gut the campaign you have to replace it with SOMETHING.

Dang, this just makes me yearn for the proper single player Star Wars game we've all been wanting for freakin' years now! That awesome aesthetic is just gone to waste in a frantic bare bones game like this :(

Looks great though, here's hoping EA/DICE use this photogrammetry technique more often, it seems to have worked very well in the couple games I've seen it in (this and Vanishing of Ethan Carter).

The game already looks great at maxed settings. This mod just sharpens the textures a bit and that's it. There isn't too much difference

@origamibomber: That is what i was going to ask. I get a bit annoyed with people going on about Sweet FX as often in games to me it looks worse. Some areas of this are now way too dark. I could barely see the enemy.

I only have the game on PS4 as it came with the Darth Vader Console which i love but i haven't even opened this game yet as i have been busy playing Dirt Rally on PC.

To be honest most of what makes that look good is the fact it's running at 4k. People really underestimate just how much difference it makes.

I run at 3200x1800, and that looks pretty damn special.

@billzihang: i'll be sticking to 1440p until 4k has 100 hz minimum support. It is apparently not all that far away.

Ironic seen as you're the one pissing and moaning on almost every article that doesn't fit into your geeky fan boy paradigm.

Now deepen the game play, add more weapons/skins/everything, and a better ttk and we will have a 7/10.
