BeelzeRog Nude Mod Review 9: Unreal Tournament
On February 26, 2023 by beelzerogVideo Script:
In 1998, the game Unreal was released to significant praise. The only problem seemed that the multiplayer portion was lacking, so a team was assigned to improve it. By the end of the year, it was decided to turn it into a stand-alone game and in 1999, Unreal Tournament was released. Both it and Quake 3: Arena heralded in the rise of games focusing on multiplayer tournaments, rather than the single-player game with multiplayer tacked onto it, which had been the standard since DOOM popularized the deathmatch.
One of the best parts of this game, however, was the ability to mod it. Epic Games released it with a level editor and it made it easy for players to come up with their own maps, as well as modify various characters. And that, of course, meant nude skins and some really amusing maps.
Honestly, I had kind of forgotten about the game. But then I found a folder where I backed up a bunch of maps and skins I’d downloaded. Plus the game is pretty cheap off of Steam. (NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: Epic has removed all Unreal Games from their stores. You’ll need to sail the seven seas to find it) Didn’t take much to get things up and running, but some of the mods were packed in the .umod format, which didn’t work like it used to. I had to download “UMod Browser” to open them up and get the goodies inside. I also found out that I didn’t have one set of skins that was practically a requirement, made by a surprising celebrity known for playing the game, pornstar and self-admitted geek, Asia Carrera.
Fortunately, not only did some searching reveal that the skins were still available, but that there were significant communities still holding onto the various maps and skins. The largest and most complete that I found was UnrealArchive.org . Other sites include oldunreal.com and, amusingly, even the Nexus does also have a small number of mods archived.
So, let’s take a look at some skins. Most of them are mods of the default Female Commando and Female Soldier, including the Asia models. While I will try to credit the skin designer, not all of these skins have that information with them. And they definitely look cruder in the light of HD.
Bots, Necrisnaked, Nudiste, Witchboobs, Purity, Pussy, Slut
Outside of the default models, modders also made their own, which is why you could be fighting a decently modeled Megabyte from Reboot, a Knight Saber from Bubblegum Crisis, an Ingram from Mobile Police Patlabor, or get your ass kicked by Tom Servo from MST3K.
One of the popular models was the 666Abbey, originally created to make an Abbey Chase character after the Danger Girl comic, which made a less bulky female model. It also had the ‘bones’ to allow some jiggle as well.
Amazon, CSexy, Kinky, Latex Vampi II, NSexy, Nude
While there was an Asia skin for the Rumiko model, there was only one topless skin set for another character. But, hey, there was also a Ghost in the Shell Kusanagi skin as well.
The Conni model lent itself to several nude skins, but it’s a given since what the model does standing idle.
Another unique model was for the Rollergirl, a rollerskating waitress which would glide around the map. A topless skin was obviously necessary.
Let’s move onto the maps. Back in the day, I only found two adult maps for UT. The first one was KamaSutra, which was a fairly simple map, with a single two level arena and a side stairway. Not a great map, but the eyecandy was nice.
Speaking of eye candy, a very prolific mapmaker went by the name PornStar. Unfortunately, they simply took existing maps and replaced some of the textures with images of naked girls. I don’t have every example, map for map, but you can see a handful here. At least for the Morbias 2 map, they actually stated it was a ‘remix’.
There is another map called Erotic Museum, which is OK though small and a bit dark for a map that’s selling point is the artwork.
Adult Cinema is definitely more interesting, *oh, hey, Asia” with a lot of nooks and crannies, as well as feeling like a real place rather than some amorphous area. And on the ‘porn’ end, there are lots of classic posters from back in the day and the ability to start up the projector to play a string of animated gifs… yeah, that’s right, I said gif. Jif is a brand of peanut butter.
(Screen Text: I just realized the map creator’s name is Skippy)
Connecting to other real places, the next one on the list is XXX Store, which is one of the oversized maps, where you run around like a heavily armed Borrower. As is normal with these style maps, the gravity is set at low, so you get more air jumping and falling off the top shelves doesn’t damage you. Also, get used to these video loops, a lot of adult map makers use them.
Now, before we move on to the last couple DeathMatch maps, let’s detour into a couple adult Capture the Flag Maps. The first one of that group is Hot Sex Disco which is this insanely tight map that I played in a few bot matches and everyone got killed over and over again with little to no progress. Also had a problem that I couldn’t get rid of the bots completely when I was filming this footage. What makes this ‘adult’ is the use of topless bots as dancers.
Then there is a set of CTF maps called Playboy, which is weird because they’ve got nothing to do with ol’ Hefner. Instead you have two opposing ‘clubs’ based on country singer Shania Twain and actress Barbara Eden, and are filled with fake nudes since neither of them ever posed naked. Kinda throws a bit of bad taste in a couple maps that are actually fun to play. The regular map has a very raw feel to it. The second map, Playboy SE is a lot *more* overall, with more places to hide, tunnels to avoid sniper fire, including tunnels going under the river. There is also an addition of different models into the mix “Hey it’s the Lynda Carter centerfold cut from Apocalypse Now”. Also, they added a little extra music to the background. Still, a lot of fun with a full bot compliment.
Now we get to the last couple of Deathmatch maps and my overall favorites. The first on that list is a recent map find called Vampire Pleasure Triple X. It is set up as a goth club/swingers club/ sex dungeon. Unlike a larger arena map, this is very much a hide-n-seek type of gameplay. If you spawn at the entrance, you be greeted by what is to follow. There is a larger dance floor, complete with stage, poles and bar. This place is very much set up like a real place, complete with bathrooms. Working elevator can take you to the dungeons below and to the playrooms above. As far as other larger areas, there is also a working theater as well, where you can turn on a slideshow of a photo session. You can even make it up to an “office” overlooking the dance floor, and there is a locker room for performers.
The last two maps were made by the same person, Raven Cook. The first map “The Strip XXX” was the other adult map I found back then and it was my favorite map, even though it was pretty memory intensive for my machine back then, so it could cause a lot of framerate slowdown. The map is huge, taking place on a city street. that I’m using the alt-fire on the redeemer to give you a good idea. Complete with different stores, and warehouses, including an electronics store, a gym, and a subway stop. and, of course, the porn movie theater. Oh, check it out. Pinbot!
But Raven didn’t stop there. While searching for more maps, I found more recent map by them which is like The Strip 2.0 called “Sex City XXX”. This map is by far my favorite. It is HUGE. Outside of the more lurid spots, there is a police station, with jail cells. There is a convenience store, a cafe, an abandoned office building, a parking garage, and the subway station got an upgrade. Plus there is a strip club, a two story sex clinic, a porn store with show booths, and the porn theater is now a duplex. There’s even a sewer level to find, though I’m sure Civvie never found something like this in his sewer runs. But on top of that, this map has traps. I’m not going to spoil all of them, but a few include a tornado that will toss you around, remove all of your weapons, and can even kill you if you’re in it long enough. There’s a lightning strike in front of the porn theater that can end you. And there’s a few more as well that can play to player greed.
So if you are feeling nostalgic for the old Unreal engine, of friend and bot matches of days past, or you just want something different, try a few of these. And, as usual, let me know what you think, if you have some suggestions I missed and I hope to see you next episode.
Later!
