The latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech has been cracked
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-latest-version-of-the-denuvo-anti-tamper-tech-has-been-cracked-2/
It appears that the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech that has been protecting the latest PC games such as Yakuza 0, Monster Hunter World, Dragon Quest XI and Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been cracked. A certain hacking group was able to crack F1 2018 which uses the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Since this version, which some call Denuvo 4.9, has been successfully cracked, this hacking group may also crack some other triple-A games that were safe all this time. This also means that Denuvo will have to adjust its code for its anti-tamper tech in order to prevent these hacks in a new version of it.

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/turok-2-seeds-of-evil-remaster-co-op-mod-version-0-9-available-for-download/
Modder ‘BehemothProgrammer’ has released a brand new version of his cool co-op mod for Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Remaster. In case you weren’t aware of, this mod allows cooperative play throughout the single-player campaign, and contains tons of fixes to the remaster as well as lots of additions while keeping the experience new and challenging for even the seasoned players.
Version 0.9 adds difficulty settings for maps Hive 1-9 and Lightship 1-11, adjusts player spawn by making them move a very tiny amount so enemies will be able to still target them in case they stand still long enough after dying, inventory items are now given later in script execution at map start.

>>The mod is available from ModDB.

This No Man’s Sky mod completely disables auto-aim, allowing for more challenging combat
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-no-mans-sky-mod-completely-disables-auto-aim-allowing-for-more-challenging-gunplay/
Modder ‘trevix’ has released a new mod for No Man’s Sky that completely removes its auto-aim functionalities from on foot and space firefights. As a result of that, and according to the modder, the combat will now be more engaging and fun, specially on space.
As the modder noted, space combat will now be considerably harder as players will really have to aim on the marker. On the other hand, things are not that difficult on foot as it now feels like most first-person or third-person shooters, though players will have to properly anticipate movement when their target is on the move.

>>Available from Nexus Mods.

 

This upcoming mod turns Borderlands 2 into Superhot, and it looks amazing
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-upcoming-mod-turns-borderlands-2-into-superhot-and-it-looks-amazing/
Borderlands 2 and Superhot are both excellent shooters, for very different reasons—one is a colourful FPS with a bajillion guns and cool enemies, the other is a more minimalist, focused affair that's all about timing and careful movement. A mod that combines the two should be out in the "next few days" and, from the trailer above, it looks like a brilliant mash-up.
Superhot's key mechanic is that time only moves when you move, and when transplanted into Borderlands 2 that means being able to jump over bullets in slow motion, dodge massive machine gun fire, and vault over enemies' heads before popping them in the back.
