SOFTWARE & DRIVERS

Electronic Arts is 'open' to bringing its games to the Epic Games Store
https://www.pcgamer.com/electronic-arts-is-open-to-bringing-its-games-to-the-epic-games-store/
Electronic Arts announced yesterday that it's going back to Steam, beginning with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which is already available for pre-purchase on the platform. It's been a good chunk of a decade since EA decided to go all-in on Origin, and some observers, such as in this Reddit thread (or our own comments on the announcement), took the change as an admission that its Origin strategy had failed.
But senior vice president and Origin general manager Mike Blank told GamesIndustry that's not the case: Origin has done well and has millions of users, he said, but EA is changing its approach "to become more open" with how it delivers its games.
(...)
As for whether that means EA Access could be made available through the Epic Games Store someday, Blank wouldn't commit but left open the possibility. "What I'll say today is we are open to new partnerships," he said. "While I don't have anything to announce today, we are always open to new partnerships that make sense for our players. So we'll see what the future holds."

Steam's big library update is now live for everyone
https://www.pcgamer.com/steams-big-library-update-is-now-live-for-everyone/
The updated Steam library that went into beta testing in September is now live for everyone. Valve announced today that the latest update to the release version of Steam incorporates the dramatically overhauled game library, and also makes the new Remote Play Together beta client available to everyone.
The Steam library update is really impressive: It looks better, makes information like playtime and achievements more clearly visible, and offers more organization and customization options than the old joint. More of the changes are related to Steam's social aspects than its storefront—making it easier to see what your friends are playing, for instance, and making in-game events easier to keep up with—but even if you use Steam almost exclusively as a launcher, it's a huge improvement over the old layout.

MODS/EMULATORS

P.T. Emulation promises to be the most faithful P.T. Remake for the PC, available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/p-t-emulation-promises-to-be-the-most-faithful-p-t-remake-for-the-pc-available-for-download/
Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen numerous attempts at remaking the P.T. teaser demo that Konami released for Playstation 4. And today, we are bringing another one. P.T. Emulation promises to be the most faithful remake and is right now available for download.
This remake is developed by Artur Laczkowski. Artur was responsible for a really old remake of P.T. that came out in November 2018. However, the artist claims that this is a better and more faithful demo.

The modders behind Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines' Unofficial Patch are making an unofficial prequel
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-modders-behind-vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-unofficial-patch-are-making-an-unofficial-prequel/
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is one of those games that's remembered so fondly, it's easy to forget what a mess it was when it launched. Developer Troika wasn't able to rectify those issues because sales were not good, forcing it to lay off virtually all its employees before closing down a few months later. But the underlying game was so excellent that fans got involved, releasing unofficial patches that fix bugs and restore cut content.
As Jody explained earlier this year, the Unofficial Patch is an essential part of playing the game—so essential, in fact, that Paradox, the publisher of the upcoming Bloodlines 2, tweeted an announcement of today's release of a new version.
"The Unofficial patch is a must for both new and long time fans of Bloodlines 1," it said. "Highlights in this update include Velvet's lap dance from the Clan Quest Mod and two unused musical pieces from the newly re-released Bloodlines 1 Official Soundtrack."
I love that modders are still finding ways to fix and improve a 15-year-old RPG, but what's even more interesting here is the release of Bloodlines Prelude 1. Developed by Werner Spahl, aka Unofficial Patch maker Wesp5, along with modders EntenSchreck and Hareishan, it's the first part of an episodic prequel that will lead into the events of the original game. The opening chapter casts the player as a human member of the Society of Leopold, an ancient organization dedicated to hunting and killing supernatural creatures; Wesp5 said that players will be vampires through the rest of the prequel chapters.
