SOFTWARE/DRIVERS

The latest version of Denuvo used in Resident Evil 2 Remake, Denuvo 5.5, has been cracked
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-latest-version-of-denuvo-used-in-resident-evil-2-remake-denuvo-5-5-has-been-cracked/
Resident Evil 2 Remake was released on January 25th and was powered by the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. And from the looks of it, it took almost a week in order to crack this new version of the controversial anti-tamper tech.
As said, Resident Evil 2 Remake is using the latest version of Denuvo which is – unofficially – titled Denuvo 5.5. From what we know so far, Ace Combat 7 is also using Denuvo 5.5 and the highly anticipated Metro Exodus will be most likely using this particular version.
Contrary to some other releases, Resident Evil 2 Remake does not suffer from any performance issues (despite the presence of Denuvo). As such, and if you are worried about the game’s performance, we strongly suggest buying it as Capcom did an incredible job with the PC version (you can read our PC Performance Analysis article here).

 

MODS/EMULATORS

F-Zero GX gets a HD remaster treatment with this AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack, available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/f-zero-gx-gets-a-hd-remaster-treatment-with-this-ai-enhanced-hd-texture-pack-available-for-download/
Earlier this month, we informed you about a HD Texture Pack for Metroid Prime. And today, I’m happy to report that PC gamers can enjoy another “remastered” version of a GameCube game, F-Zero GX, thanks to a brand new AI-enhanced Texture Pack that has just been released.
Similarly to Metroid Prime, this “remastered” version of F-Zero GX can only be experienced on the PC via the Dolphin emulator. Now I’m using the word remaster in quotes because this pack only improves the game’s textures and nothing more (but then again, most console remasters simply have AF enabled, are being rendered at higher resolutions and have higher quality textures. So yeah, I guess we can call this F-Zero GX Remaster for the PC?).

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/ace-combat-7-has-just-been-released-on-the-pc-and-appears-to-be-lacking-major-pc-features/
Ace Combat 7 has just been released on the PC and from the looks of it the game lacks various PC features that PC gamers were expecting to find in a brand new 2019 PC game. The game also currently has Negative reviews on Steam, though it’s really early right now and Bandai Namco can turn the tides with a quick hotfix/patch.

Metal Slug XX is now available on Steam but lacks graphics settings & key mapping functionalities
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/metal-slug-xx-is-now-available-on-steam-but-lacks-graphics-settings-key-mapping-functionalities/
SNK has just released Metal Slug XX on the PC via Steam. However, it appears that this port is mediocre as it lacks the ability to remap your keys. The game also lacks any meaningful graphics settings, making this offer feel less attractive than playing the game via various emulators.
