https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/new-version-of-rpcs3-brings-huge-performance-improvements-in-red-dead-redemption-god-of-war-3-uncharted-and-more/
The team behind the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, has released a new video showing the huge performance and graphics improvements of its latest version in triple-A games such as Red Dead Redemption, God of War 3 and Uncharted.

After five years, total conversion mod Half-Life: Echoes is available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/after-five-years-total-conversion-mod-half-life-echoes-is-available-for-download/
Modder ‘MrGnang’ has been working on a total conversion mod for the first Half Life game for five years. Half-Life: Echoes will let you experience the Black Mesa incident from a different perspective, with some insights into mysterious events which Gordon Freeman was not present for, and is available for download right now.
Contrary to other mods, this isn’t a standalone total conversion mod. What this basically means is that you’ll need a copy of Half-Life on Steam in order to play it. Also note that Half-Life Source and the non-Steam/retail version of Half Life are not compatible with it.

>>The mod is available from ModDB.

 

First Monster Hunter World mod released from Kaldaien, discovers the worst anti-mod techniques
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/first-monster-hunter-world-mod-released-from-kaldaien-discovers-the-worst-anti-mod-techniques/
Modder ‘Kaldaien’, best known for his amazing Special-K mod for NieR: Automata and Yakuza 0, has released the first mod for Monster Hunter World. This first version of Special-K for Monster Hunter World allows for HUDless screenshots, enables Texture/button mods, allows Pre-HUD ReShade and packs fixes for some issues with the fullscreen-exclusive mode.
What’s also interesting here, though, is the anti-mod techniques/code that the modder discovered. According to Kaldaien, Monster Hunter World features the worst anti-debug/anti-mod code he has ever seen, putting FFXV’s stupid anti-debug to shame.

>>Available from Steam.

 

This No Man’s Sky NEXT mod improves performance by 30% at the expense of objects pop-in
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-no-mans-sky-next-mod-improves-performance-by-30-at-the-expense-of-objects-pop-in/
Modder ‘Lo2k’ has released a pretty interesting mod for No Man’s Sky NEXT. The NoFade FPS Booster mod removes the fade effect and improves performance by up to 30% at the expense of objects pop-in. What this basically means is that you’ll get severely pop-ins of objects (like plants, rocks, mountains, etc), but then again this mod may be the only solution for those facing performance issues.

>>Get this mod from Nexus Mods.

 

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel gets a new unofficial community patch, fixing a number of bugs/issues
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/borderlands-the-pre-sequel-gets-a-new-unofficial-community-patch-fixing-a-number-of-bugs-issues/
Jim Raven and a team of modders have released a new version of their unofficial community patch for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. In case you weren’t aware of, this unofficial patch re-balances many aspect of the game in order to make weak guns, skills and other gears that you’d always toss, don’t pick up or don’t use a viable option. Not only that, but it also makes all gear farmable instead of world drop/grinder only.

>>This mod is also available from Nexus Mods.
