The official Steam store page for Far Cry 5 has revealed that Ubisoft’s latest title will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. We are pretty sure that none of you will be surprised by this as Ubisoft has been using it in all of its games lately. However, it’s good that we already know about it.

>>Not surprising.

MODS/EMULATORS

Resident Evil 4 HD Project shows off reworked Assignment: Ada mode
http://www.pcgamer.com/resident-evil-4-hd-project-shows-off-reworked-assignment-ada-mode/
The Resident Evil 4 HD Project is a fan-made venture that we've covered several times in the past and, as the name suggests, aims to retell the fourth Resi today. Project leader Albert has now shared a load of new before and after screens relevant to the game's Assignment: Ada mode, as well as a new trailer which walks through the changes in practice.
Check out the gallery in full in this direction, and let me share a few of my favourites.

 

Dark Souls 2 Enemy Randomizer mod is a game changer
http://www.pcgamer.com/dark-souls-2-enemy-randomizer-mod-is-a-game-changer/
I still remember my first venture into Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin's Forest of the Fallen Giants. Where once there was a clutter of bow and axe-wielding hollows, now stood a blighting Ogre who, if given the chance, would crush pursuers under the weight of its oversized arse. Enemy placement changes, evidently, had reworked the game entirely.
Benzoingum's work-in-progress Enemy Randomizer mod aims to takes this element of surprise one step further, by allowing players to shift and change the layout of SotFS's baddies by their own volition.

>>You can get it from Nexus Mods.
