https://www.pcgamer.com/tencent-plans-to-take-its-steam-like-wegame-store-global/
When Chinese gaming giant Tencent rebranded its digital store as 'WeGame' last year, Andy asked: could a showdown with Steam be in the offing? Tencent is now set to launch an international variation of WeGame, which could make that scenario a reality.
As reported by the South China Morning Post (via gamesindustry.biz), an international version of the store and social platform—currently exclusive to China—will launch in Hong Kong. This instalment is designed to reach players outside of China, and to promote Chinese games overseas.

Resistance 2, God of War Ascension and LittleBigPlanet 3 running on the PC thanks to RPCS3
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/resistance-2-god-of-war-ascension-and-littlebigplanet-3-running-on-the-pc-thanks-to-rpcs3/
A couple of days ago, we informed you about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled running with 60fps on the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3. YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared some other videos, showing Resistance 2, God of War Ascension and LittleBigPlanet 3 running on it.
Contrary to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, however, the aforementioned Playstation 3 exclusive titles do not run smoothly. Still, this latest version of RPCS3 can run these games better than before.

New The Witcher 3 mod enables 60fps hair physics (movement/bouncing)
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-the-witcher-3-mod-enables-60fps-hair-physics-movement-bouncing/
Modder ‘BlurredNotions’ has released a new mod for The Witcher 3 that fixes the Hair Physics when playing at 60fps. According to its description, this mod “fixes” a flaw in the game which makes Geralt’s hair not animate properly when playing at any framerate higher than 30fps. This mod supports all hairstyles (including DLC), meaning that those that do not use Hairworks can also benefit from it. It’s not perfect, as the modder suggests, but about as accurate an approximation of vanilla 30fps hair bounce at 60fps as you’re gonna get as of now.

>>Get it from Nexus Mods.

These screenshots showcase some of the new textures that HalkHoganPL has included in the upcoming version of his mod and they look great.
In case you weren’t aware of, The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project aims to overhaul CD Projekt RED’s title, featuring high quality meshes with a lot of details (most of them are created from scratch and good optimalization is preserved), very high quality detailed textures with great sharpness and performance, without any unnecessary VRAM losses, very high quality accurate normal maps and specially customized materials for all reworked stuff.

Steam006 has released a must-have unofficial patch for Silent Hill Homecoming. This patch/mod finally enables 60fps, adds a controllable Field of View, patches hard-coded 720p resolution values and allows for up to 8X multisampling (MSAA).
Furthermore, this unofficial patch allows the game to use 4GB of RAM, patches the resolution of the map and items, adds options to disable DirectX fog, a wireframe mode, wallhack and adds controllable map and item size.

Doom 2 map Diabolus Ex takes Deus Ex: Human Revolution to the old school
https://www.pcgamer.com/doom-2-map-diablolus-ex-takes-deus-ex-human-revolution-to-the-old-school/
The nearly 25-year-old Doom 2 has taken to draining the youth from newer games to fuel its apparent immortality. Thanks to the open-source GZDoom engine's continual evolution, classic Doom mods get a little more impressive with every passing year, and Diabolus Ex by mapper Arvell is a fine little example of that.
What you're getting here is a single short, sweet but highly explorable level that apes the style of Eidos's Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Perhaps a little on the easy side, but this particular trip to corporate hell is more about the sights and sounds (including a great synth soundtrack by El-Metallico) than the challenge.

Dark Souls Age of Fire mod pits playable Gwyn against its toughest boss combo

Datehacks' long-term work-in-progress Age of Fire Dark Souls mod lets you play as your favorite bosses. Last week, it showcased Executioner Smough in the game's Undead Burg area. Now, it's sent Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, to Anor Londo.
Which means Gwyn can now battle Dark Souls' toughest boss combo—the aforementioned lightning hammer-wielding garroter, and his companion Dragonslayer Ornstein. It's a pretty marvellous showdown that features from 15.15 below.

https://www.pcgamer.com/portal-2-mod-destroyed-aperture-adds-20-maps-and-30-puzzles-due-fall-2018/
Portal 2 is a masterpiece and one of the few games that actually lived up to its hype. Destroyed Aperture is a work in progress community-made Portal 2 mod that's been in development since 2015, and is due this year. It's as yet without a hard release date, but it's now popped up on ModDB with a bundle of new screens. I'm excited.
Because not only does Destroyed Aperture drop players into a neat/terrifying decayed and overgrown Aperture Science Facility, it promises a new five hour-long story campaign that spans five chapters. Within that, we can expect over 20 maps "filled with puzzles and exploration with increasing difficulty", and over 30 logic-based puzzles.

Fortnite Season 5 is only three days away, which I know because Epic tweeted out an image today saying exactly that. But Season 5's release date isn't news.

Sadly, some of the best JRPGs out there, Atlus' Persona games, are still far out of reach.

Grow and sell weed with this Stardew Valley mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/grow-and-sell-weed-with-this-stardew-valley-mod/
Stardew Valley has an enormous variety of crops ranging from cranberries to kale to starfruit. But 'Smellyhippie_'s' Cannabis Mod adds six more—and I bet you could guess them just from their username alone. With decriminalization of marijuana becoming common across the States and Canada, it only makes sense that the citizens of Stardew Valley would want the freedom to smoke up as well. And, well, what kind of entrepreneur would you be if you weren't willing to meet that demand?

GTA 5 Warfare mod adds 20v20 military-themed showdowns
https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-warfare-mod-adds-20v20-military-themed-showdowns/
As far as GTA 5 mods go, Warfare is pretty straightforward: it turns Los Santos into a militarised urban hellscape, where teams of 20 fight... just because. It does look pretty good though, and once you've installed it there's a fair bit of flexibility involved. You can pit your two teams (yourself and 39 NPCs, in case it isn't clear) against one another in a variety of pre-set Los Santos environments, or else create an arena yourself.

As noted in this Steam Community update for PUBG's PC #17.1 update, anti-cheat measures are among the devs' main concerns—alongside performance and bugs.

Steam has made changes to its 'Upcoming Releases' tab
https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-has-made-changes-to-its-upcoming-releases-tab/
Most Steam users will agree that the storefront's 'Upcoming' tab is a little on the unhelpful side. Given how many hundreds of games release on the platform every week, you can never be sure whether you're missing out on something great. But that's theoretically coming to an end, because Valve has just rolled out changes to the feature.
Described as a "smarter, more tailored list", the new 'Popular Upcoming' tab will compile games that have attracted considerable pre-release interest. This is determined by how many users have wishlisted the game, how many have pre-ordered, and whether the studio has a reputation for releasing good games.

Rekkr is a neat looking Viking-themed Doom Megawad
https://www.pcgamer.com/rekkr-is-a-neat-looking-viking-themed-doom-megawad/
Modders and level creators continue to produce goods for the original Doom. Some even allow you to romance the demons. But nowadays they're often designed for modernised versions: source ports like ZDoom or GZDoom. These are cool, but it's neat to find a new Megawad created for the original DOS game, built under the ye olde engine restrictions (no free look, no slopes).
That's what Rekkr is, but it's not the only cool thing about it. It's a Viking-themed Megawad complete with 25 new levels, boasting its own textures, music and sound. It'll work in ZDoom and other source ports, but you'll get just as much out of it if you load it into the original game (that might be a hassle for modern PC users, though, unless you want to use DOSBox).

Mafia 3 had a cold open that was so controversial, Hangar 13 'burned it from our servers'
https://www.pcgamer.com/mafia-3-had-a-cold-open-that-was-so-controversial-hangar-13-burned-it-from-our-servers/
Mafia 3 was not great, but it did get credit for tackling the rampant racism of its 1960s New Orleans setting head-on—a "bold, subversive move" in a game that was otherwise a pretty big letdown. It turns out that it was actually toned down somewhat prior to release: At one point it featured a "cold open" sequence that laid out exactly why lead character Lincoln Clay joined the Army and went to Vietnam, but developer Hangar 13 cut it, and scrubbed it from existence, because it was just too far over the line.

Players can also form smaller clans within factions, and there are crafting and skill trees to work through as well.

Cyberpunk 2077: it was 'very smart not to show the whole world gameplay', says creator

As Cyberpunk 2077's gameplay footage remains this mythical thing, passed along by lucky E3 attendees like a folk tale about a yeti sighting or something, I'm reminded that the game is probably years away yet. Perfectionism is the goal, based on Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith's recent conversation with IGN—and we're going to have to wait for it.
