https://www.pcgamer.com/halo-the-master-chief-collection-hits-the-top-of-the-charts-on-steam/
Halo finally made the big splash on PC today with the release of The Master Chief Collection on Steam and, if you're into that sort of thing, the Microsoft Store. And in case there was any doubt that PC gamers want it (and want it bad), the collection is currently the number-one selling game on Steam, while the standalone Halo: Reach holds down third place.

Play as the Mandalorian in this Star Wars Battlefront 2 mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/play-as-the-mandalorian-in-this-star-wars-battlefront-2-mod/
While you wait for modders to add The Mandalorian's real star, Baby Yoda, to Star Wars Battlefront 2, you can already play his henchman, the Mandalorian. A few mods have been put together since the show was announced, but the latest, created by Claymaver2000 and Savager34, is the closest to the real deal so far.
The Mandalorian mod uses Boba Fett as a base, and along with his armour and equipment being re-textured, the jetpack has also been replaced with a rifle to keep his gear more in line with the show. It's just a cosmetic change, however, so the jetpack ability still works, keeping him functional in multiplayer.

In the Valley of Gods is officially on hold as Campo Santo works on Valve projects
https://www.pcgamer.com/in-the-valley-of-gods-is-officially-on-hold-as-campo-santo-works-on-valve-projects/
Last month, Firewatch fans began to get a little antsy about Campo Santo's current project, In the Valley of Gods. Attentive followers noticed that the Twitter bios of three lead developers—Firewatch producer and 3D environment artist Jane Ng, art director Claire Hummel, and Campo Santo co-founder Jake Rodkin—had been changed to remove any mention of the game.
Valve, which acquired Campo Santo in 2018, was quiet on the matter, but suspicions intensified with the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, which members of the Firewatch team are working on. Today studio co-founder Jake Rodkin finally clarified the situation, telling Polygon that the game is "on hold," as former Campo Santo developers are now working on other things—and not just Half-Life: Alyx.

Remedy’s CEO comments on Control’s sales: “we are in a good position with steady sales”
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/remedys-ceo-comments-on-controls-sales-we-are-in-a-good-position-with-steady-sales/
Remedy’s Control is, at least in my opinion, one of the best games of 2019. And while the game did not top the sale charts when it launched, it appears that it’s profitable for both Remedy and 505 Games.
As Remedy’s CEO Tero Virtala told GamesIndustry, the game had a budget of less than €30 million. And from what we know so far, the game has most likely broke even.
Back in November, Digital Bros stated that Control had generated €17.7 million in its first month. Furthermore, Digital Bros claimed that it received 9.49 million euro (which translates to $10.5 million) for Control’s EGS exclusivity.

Shenmue III sales flopped
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/shenmue-iii-sales-flopped/
It looks like Shenmue III, the highly anticipated (by fans) continuation of the 2001 title, is not doing very well. The game was a debut at number 17, and sold 50% less compared to Shenmue I & II remaster in the UK. The game also sold less than 18.000 units in Japan and received the fourth place in the console charts.
The game was first funded through Kickstarter with more than 80.000 backers. Sadly since then, several not very cool things happened, which did no sit very well with many people. Also the game is very archaic in every form. Meaning fewer people will find interest in something like that in the year 2019.

Halo Reach is a really old game and we can easily notice the visual improvements that this Reshade Ray/Path Tracing mod brings to the table. Thanks to these post-processing techniques, the game does not look as flat as it does in its vanilla version.

RDRFR, like its GTA 5 counterpart, aims to overhaul the game, turning it into a cop simulator, but the modders are planning to make it a bit different from its predecessor. The games themselves are very different kinds of sandboxes, and they're hoping to take advantage of the improvements to create a more "intimate and refined" follow-up.

Rune 2 publisher sues Human Head Studios for abandoning the game
https://www.pcgamer.com/rune-2-publisher-sues-human-head-studios-for-abandoning-the-game/
The launch of the Viking action-RPG Rune 2 was an odd affair, to say the least. On November 12, the game went live on the Epic Games Store; on November 13, literally the next day, developer Human Head Studios closed its doors; and then also on November 13, literally the same day, it re-opened its doors as Bethesda-owned Roundhouse Studios.
The day after all of that, Rune 2 publisher Ragnarok Game reassured everyone that despite the loss of the developer, the game would continue to be actively supported, including with planned post-launch content. It also made clear that it had no idea that any of this was coming, saying in a statement that "we found out about this news when you did."
Ragnarok made further allegations about Human Head in a message posted today in the Rune 2 forum, saying that the studio has refused to provide it with the finalized source code and game assets, despite repeated requests to do so. Because of that, it has now filed legal action against the studio.
>> And they ask for $100 million.

There will also be free Santa hats, too.
