Red Dead Redemption already runs faster on Xenia than on Xbox 360 with almost perfect graphics
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/red-dead-redemption-already-runs-faster-on-xenia-than-on-xbox-360-with-almost-perfect-graphics/
Last week, we informed you about Xenia, the best emulator for Xbox 360, running Red Dead Redemption. While that version of the X360 emulator was able to run the game, it was plagued by some awful vegetation glitches. Fast forward a week though and here we are with a newer version that can run the game better and has those vegetation issues fixed.
Red Dead Redemption still has some minor graphical issues on Xenia (like the flickering smoke effects) however I believe that we can all agree that it is playable. Now I don’t know whether there are any graphical issues with the later stages or whether the emulator can run the game from start to finish, however things are looking pretty good right now.

This mod brings the Xenomorph Queen from Alien to Monster Hunter World
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-mod-brings-the-xenomorph-queen-from-alien-to-monster-hunter-world/
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Monster Hunter World has a lot of modding potential. Even though the game features a respectable amount of monsters, modders can replace the existing ones with some other monsters/animals from iconic movies. We’ve seen this with the Lion King mod and today we are presenting you an Alien Queen mod for it.
Modder ‘UberGrainy’ has released this mod that replaces Xeno’jiiva with the Xenomorph Queen from Alien. The modder has used this model for the Queen, although he removed the chest arms so that it’s less confusing where the chest weak point is.
All you have to do in order to install this mod is download it from here and then unzip the archive of your choice (with folders) into “SteamSteamappscommonMonster Hunter World” (or where you have installed Monster Hunter World). And that’s it.

Despite its flaws, Yakuza 0 is a game that I really enjoyed on the PC (Nick also liked it and you can read his review here). As such, I’m happy to report today that Yakuza Kiwami is coming to the PC on February 19th.

System Shock Remake – Unreal Engine 4 vs Unity Engine Video Comparison
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/system-shock-remake-unreal-engine-4-vs-unity-engine-video-comparison/
YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ has shared a video comparison between the Unreal Engine 4 and the Unity Engine versions of System Shock Remake. In case you weren’t aware of, Nightdive Studios initially planned to develop this highly anticipated remake in Unity Engine (and released a demo for it). However, the team then decided to switch over to Unreal Engine 4.
>> Technically, the UE4 version is better, but I prefer the older style of the game instead of the one they're using with the new engine.

Capcom has just announced that a new game mode will be added for free to Resident Evil 2 Remake after its release. This will be the first post-launch free content that will be arriving to this highly anticipated remake, though there is no word yet on its ETA or whether it will be followed by additional free content.
>> Capcom launching free content! Who would have guessed it not so long ago?
