It's August, Summer, the time of the year with the least number of releases and also when most people are enjoying their holidays. With that in mind, can someone tell me why are there so many news!?

*sigh*

Anyway, let's go with Tuesday news:

MODS/EMULATORS

Turn Geralt into an extreme sports nut with Pro Witcher 3 mod
http://www.pcgamer.com/turn-geralt-into-an-extreme-sports-nut-with-pro-witcher-3-mod/
For a collection of mods designed for a no-fast-travel playthrough, Geralt of Rivia's Pro Witcher 3 mod is a bit of a laugh because Geralt has never traveled faster than this. There are a few different features in the mod, like the power to swim faster than a dolphin, but the highlight is certainly the ability for Geralt to slide everywhere on his heels at lightning speed, as if the storied hexer were shredding through the world on an invisible, rocket-powered skateboard.

http://www.pcgamer.com/this-new-brutal-doom-gun-costs-souls-to-fire/
Brutal Doom continues to get meaningful updates long after its release in 2012, and its latest patch, V21, will include two new guns among some other improvements, like splashier fluid animations.

 

Street Fighter costume modders issued DMCA takedown notice from Capcom
http://www.pcgamer.com/street-fighter-costume-modders-issued-dmca-takedown-notice-from-capcom/
Two modders known for creating custom skins for Street Fighter have received DMCA takedown notices from Capcom. Modders Brutal Ace and Khaledantar666 both supported their modding activities with Patreon—Khaledantar666 by offering requests in exchange for pledges, and Brutal Ace by giving Patreon backers an early download ahead of a later free release of his skins. In addition to Capcom's apparent objection to the modders profiting from the skins, some of the skins used copyrighted material from properties such as Marvel.

>>Ah! I missed Crapcom to show us their true self.
