Batman Arkham Origins fan remaster looks like a whole new game

Rocksteady Studios is working to reclaim its reputation after the disappointing launch of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, which marked a shift from its traditional single-player narrative experiences to a live-service model. The game's servers have closed, but its final content update revealed that the heroes were not truly eliminated, as the narrative involved the demise of clones. Rocksteady is reportedly in the early stages of developing a new Batman experience, though it is unclear if it will continue the Arkham Trilogy or explore new directions. Additionally, PC players can enhance Arkham Origins with a fan remaster mod called Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, created by modder Jb0238177, which improves visual fidelity by disabling motion blur and fog, and enhancing textures and shadows. The mod is available for free on NexusMods.

Does Avowed have multiplayer or co-op?

Avowed is designed strictly as a single-player title and does not support multiplayer functionality. Obsidian Entertainment, the developer, confirmed that initial plans for a co-op feature were scrapped to focus on refining the RPG systems for a cohesive single-player experience. While there is a possibility that modders could create an unofficial co-op function in the future, Obsidian has not indicated any plans to introduce co-op features. Avowed is available on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC through various platforms, and it is priced at .99, with a promotional deal bringing the price down to .89 at CDKeys.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic gets co-op mode and extra content thanks to the mod community’s collaboration with Ubisoft: ‘To see it all come together has been very emotional for us’

KingDavidW, a modder, has collaborated with Ubisoft and Nvidia to enhance the 2006 game Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. This partnership has led to significant advancements in the modding community, including the "Dark Messiah: Restoration Mod," which fixes gameplay bugs and adds new content such as bonus missions, alternate levels, a previously cut level called The Caves, and several cut weapons. Ubisoft is also helping develop an advanced SDK, expected to be released soon. Nvidia's contributions are likely related to the Dark Messiah RTX mod, which involves extensive reworking of models and textures. Additionally, a cooperative mod for Dark Messiah is in testing and available on Github for public testing, with further refinements needed for optimal gameplay.

Take-Two CEO hints at GTA 6 release for PC

Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, indicated that a PC launch for GTA 6 may occur after its initial release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, following the pattern of previous Rockstar titles. Historically, Rockstar has released games on select platforms first before transitioning to others, as seen with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V. Zelnick acknowledged the growing importance of PC gaming but confirmed that GTA 6 will debut on consoles first. He believes that the game's popularity will drive console sales, and if it later launches on PC, many players would likely repurchase it for modding and exclusive features. While a PC launch has not been officially confirmed, it is expected to follow a successful console debut.

Make Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 feel even more like The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion with this charming potato mode mod

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is designed as a nostalgic homage to The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, featuring medieval exploration and eccentric NPC behaviors.

While the mod captures retro charm, it reveals disparities in urban settings and NPC designs compared to Oblivion. Players express a desire for a mod that could replicate Oblivion's features, including moon-faced NPCs and dynamic landscapes. The mod can be downloaded from the modding community, and users can adjust settings via Notepad. Jindra has also created a very low graphics mod that enhances performance while maintaining the original aesthetic of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
