To ‘appease the people who thought the game was too long,’ an Alien: Isolation modder trimmed the campaign length down to a svelte 46 seconds

Matt Filer, a modder, has spent nearly a decade creating modifications for the horror game Alien: Isolation, which critics noted could have benefited from a shorter playtime than its typical 20 hours. Filer expressed that the game should have concluded around the 10-12 hour mark. He released a new mod called Impossible Campaign, which allows players to finish the game in under a minute by altering the narrative. This mod introduces xenomorphs to LV426, preventing key events from occurring. Filer developed the OpenCAGE toolkit for extensive game editing and has experimented with various modifications. Alien: Isolation is currently available on Steam.

Phasmophobia review: paranormal port of a prosperous PC game

Phasmophobia is a horror game where players act as paranormal investigators, collaborating with friends to explore supernatural settings. The game features a variety of gadgets, diverse spirits, and multiple investigation locations. It has recently launched on consoles, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, on October 29. While the visuals are criticized for being bland and experiencing technical glitches, the gameplay remains engaging. Solo play can be tedious, but multiplayer enhances the experience, blending horror with humor. The console version lacks significant new content compared to the PC version and removes voice recognition capabilities, but allows crossplay with PC users. The game received a rating of 7/10.

I’ve been a PC gamer for 20 years — here’s why you should buy a PS5 Pro instead

Many gaming enthusiasts are drawn to high-performance gaming PCs, particularly those equipped with Nvidia RTX 4090 GPUs, which enable stunning gameplay experiences like Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4K/120 fps with DLSS technology. The PC port of the original Red Dead Redemption is set to release on October 29, featuring ultrawide aspect ratio support and DLSS 3.7. The author has pre-ordered the PS5 Pro and plans to sell the standard PS5, acknowledging the appeal of console gaming's simplicity compared to the complexity of PC gaming. Achieving optimal performance on PC often requires significant effort, such as adjusting settings to maintain frame rates. The current console generation has standardized 60 fps gaming, contrasting with past experiences of lower frame rates on older consoles. However, PC launches can suffer from bugs and performance issues, as seen with The Last of Us and The Callisto Protocol, while some PC ports like God of War Ragnarök demonstrate successful development with advanced features. Overall, consoles provide a hassle-free gaming experience, while PC gaming offers potential rewards for those willing to invest time and effort.
