You can now play as Berserk's Guts in Dark Souls
http://www.pcgamer.com/you-can-now-play-as-berserks-guts-in-dark-souls/
The Japanese dark manga series Berserk is said to have inspired the likes of Dynasty Warriors and Dark Souls—the latter of which owes much of its sombre and disparate aesthetic to the animated works of Kentaro Miura. Now, Souls modder Abject has reversed these roles by bringing Berserk's esteemed protagonist Guts to Lordran.

Titanfall 2 developer hopes that pirates will enjoy the SP and buy the game for its MP mode
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/titanfall-2-developer-hopes-that-pirates-will-enjoy-the-sp-and-buy-the-game-for-its-mp-mode/
Now that’s how you win PC gamers that are still on the fence. Titanfall 2 originally launched with the Denuvo anti-tamper tech however, EA decided to remove it back in March. As such, a pirated – and completely cracked – version of the game found its way to the Internet. And it appears that this pirated version caught the eye of one of the game’s developers, who responded in a really surprising and pleasant way.

 

Get Even – Real Life versus in-game environments comparison video
http://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/get-even-real-life-versus-in-game-environments-comparison-video/
Bandai Namco has released a new comparison video between the in-game and the real life environments of Get Even. Get Even uses photgrammetry and while the textures look great, its lighting system has been severely downgraded (from its initial reveal). And this video shows how important lighting is as the in-game scenes look flat and bland. So yeah, I’m a bit puzzled as to why Bandai Namco decided to release this video. Because let’s be honest here; the in-game scenes are far from being described as photorealistic.
