This Resident Evil 2 Remake mod allows you to take Chris Redfield
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-resident-evil-2-remake-mod-allows-you-to-take-chris-redfield/
Resident Evil 2 Remake has just been released and from the looks of it a 3D model of Chris Redfield has been included in it. It appears that this 3D model is based on the Resident Evil 7 model, though it has been slightly enhanced, and as you may have guessed, PC gamers were able to mod the game and replace Leon’s model with this new one.
We don’t know why Chris’ 3D model is included in Resident Evil 2 Remake’s files. Right now, we know that a free DLC will be coming to RE2Remake on February 15th but none of the three scenarios that will be included in it involves Claire’s brother.
But anyway, all you have to in order to play as Chris Redfield is download the mod from here and extract the file to game’s root folder. As always, you should back up the .PAK file in “RESIDENT EVIL 2 BIOHAZARD RE2920561” before applying the mod (in case something breaks).

Final Fantasy 8 receives a HD remaster treatment thanks to this AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/final-fantasy-8-receives-a-hd-remaster-treatment-thanks-to-this-ai-enhanced-hd-texture-pack/
Two days ago, we informed you about an AI-enhanced Texture Pack for Final Fantasy 7. And today, I’m happy to report that Final Fantasy 8 has also received a HD remaster treatment thanks to another AI-enhanced Texture Pack that has been released for it.
Created by modder ‘blippyp’, this Graphical Update mod for Final Fantasy VIII updates all of the background files for the game by using a GAN the modder trained to generate the images.

To use this mod (that you can download from here), players will need Tonberry and hashmaps. You can find both of these mods from the Qhimm Forums and you’ll have to overwrote the AngelWing textures with these new ones.
