You can finally play Demon’s Souls in 4K and 60fps, only on the PC via RPCS3
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/you-can-finally-play-demons-souls-in-4k-and-60fps-only-on-the-pc-via-rpcs3/
Demon’s Souls is a game that a lot of PC gamers would love to play. However, and contrary to the Dark Souls series, Demon’s Souls never came on the PC. Still, PC gamers well able to play this title via RPCS3 and get a taste of it. Unfortunately, though, the game was running with 30fps but that’s about to change as a new patch came out that enables a 60fps mode.
As the RPCS3 team stated, Whatcookie recently made a patch for Demon’s Souls allowing it to bypass the games 30fps cap and run at 60fps and 120fps for the first time. Yeap, you read that right; Demon’s Souls can run with 120fps.
However, it appears that the game’s movement is currently bugged at 120fps. For instance, if you’re running the game at 120fps and run into geometry the players movement will be very slow. This could have a serious impact on the overall gaming experience, which is why the team suggests running the game at 60fps… at least until the movement has been fixed via a new patch.

Replay Borderlands 2 with this big overhaul mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/replay-borderlands-2-with-this-big-overhaul-mod/
With Borderlands 3 fast approaching, its predecessor is enjoying a resurgence. Recent discounts and free DLC has seen returning and new players hitting Pandora, and if you're playing through the whole thing, you might want to take a look at Borderlands 2.5.
Released last week, it's a work-in-progress overhaul mod for Borderlands 2, changing characters, gear, enemies and more. The mod team's intent is to let players discover changes for themselves, keeping new weapons and reworked boss fights a surprise, though you can see some of them linked in the Nexus Mods page.
>> Get it from here, but be wary that you'll need some of the DLC.

Modders have added Dr Disrespect to two Resident Evil games
https://www.pcgamer.com/modders-have-added-dr-disrespect-to-two-resident-evil-games/
I love seeing mods that add favorite characters to games they shouldn't be in. Link in Skyrim. CJ in Breath of the Wild. The Witcher characters in anything. You name it. Dr Disrespect is not a favorite character of mine, I'll admit, but I do respect the impressively faithful rendition that modder "Letmelivegaming" on Nexus Mods put into her Dr Disrespect mod.
The Doc replaces Raccoon City police officer Chris Redfield in the Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster. Doc still has Redfield's voice, so you won't get any of the rage we know him for. It seems that another modder on the Resident Evil Modding Forum is attempting to supply some needed Doc yells.
But wait, there's more! Yet another modder has used the model by Letmelivegaming and added The Doc to another Resident Evil game. You can add The Doc in place of Leon in the Resident Evil 2 remake. Letmelivegaming uploaded a video of that mod to her YouTube channel as well showing an early RE2 scene with Doc that you can watch below.
