At Unite Tokyo, Unity Technologies showcased Hello World running in real-time in Unity Engine 5. Hello World is a new CGI anime movie and Unity Technologies recreated some of its scenes in the Unity Engine. Not only that, but these scenes were running in real-time.
What’s really amazing here is how close to the CGI anime movie this real-time remake of Hello World actually is. In order to showcase the similarities, Unity Technologies offered a comparison video. And as we can see, the real-time remake looks almost as great as the CGI movie.

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/fans-are-working-on-a-star-wars-jedi-academy-multiplayer-game-in-unreal-engine-4-prototype-available-for-download/
It appears that a group of Star Wars fans is currently working on a Star Wars: Jedi Academy multiplayer game in Unreal Engine 4. Do note that this game is still in an early development stage. Still, the team released a new dev build that you can download and play right now. So yeah, while this is a prototype, it’s a really cool project.
All you have to do is join its Discord server, head over at “vertex-news” and download the launcher. Once you’ve downloaded, the launcher will download the latest build to where it is installed.
>> Here's the Discord server. Enjoy it before Disney sends them a Cease and Desist notice.

You can now play as Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 2 Remake
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/you-can-now-play-as-chris-redfield-and-jill-valentine-in-resident-evil-2-remake/
Resident Evil fans, here is something special for you today. Modder ‘DarknessValtier’ released two new character swap mods for Resident Evil 2 Remake, allowing players to assume the role of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.
What’s even better here is that both of them are fully facial animated. As such their mouths and eyes move accordingly and as you’d expect. Now the downside here is that it’s bit strange when other NPCs refer to them as Leon and Claire. Unfortunately, there is no way to change that so yeah, it can become a bit awkward.
>> Check the article to find the links to both mods (from Nexus Mods).

This Resident Evil 2 Remake mod makes Mr. X adorably tiny
https://www.pcgamer.com/this-resident-evil-2-remake-mod-makes-mr-x-adorably-tiny/
Thanks to modders, Resident Evil 2 Remake's Mr. X has been turned into everything from IT's Pennywise to Thomas the Tank Engine, but I think I've now found my personal fave. Raz0r's Ultimate Trainer lets you fiddle around with all manner of things, but most importantly it lets you change the size of enemies, including Mr. X.
