Google announces a new game streaming service, called Stadia
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/google-announces-a-new-game-streaming-service-called-stadia/
At GDC 2019, Google announced its new game streaming service that will be called Stadia. Stadia is basically an evolution of Project Stream that Google launched last year. In other words, this isn’t a new console hardware. Instead, this is a streaming service and Google has released a trailer for Stadia that you can find below.
>> I won't really post many more news about this new service for the time being, so feel free to go to one of the several threads about it. But don't forget to look at the UL Benchmark of Stadia's tech demo first.

 

MODS/EMULATORS

PC gamers can already play Halo 3’s single-player campaign on the PC with native mouse & keyboard
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/pc-gamers-can-already-play-halo-3-single-player-campaign-on-the-pc-with-native-mouse-keyboard/
Microsoft and 343 Industries have already announced the Halo: The Master Chief collection for the PC. However, PC gamers can already experience the single-player campaign of Halo 3. A team of dedicated fans has recreated the entire single-player mode of Halo 3 in the Halo Online Engine, and is fully playable from start to finish via Eldewrito.
Now while we got a link to this build – and we can confirm that it actually works – we’ve decided to not share it. The reason is quite simple; Microsoft and 343 Industries will undoubtedly attempt to take it down. Not only that, but we should at least respect 343 Industries’ attempts to create a solid PC version of Halo: MCC. Still, and similarly to our nude mods, this does not prohibit us from actually talking about it.
