Modder ‘klockenschooster’ has released a new mod for id Software’s classic first-person shoooter, Quake. Godscythe is a map pack that is heavily inspired by the first Unreal game, and is available right now for download.
Alongside the new maps, this mod makes some additional gameplay. For example, it removes all hit scanning from weapons. Furthermore, both yours and the enemies’ shotguns fire actual bullets. Not only that, but the lightning gun now serves as a laser rifle.

This 1.6GB 4K HD Texture Pack for Skyrim Special Edition overhauls all of the textures in Whiterun
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-1-6gb-4k-hd-texture-pack-for-skyrim-special-edition-overhauls-all-of-the-textures-of-whiterun/
CleverCharff has released a new version of his HD Texture Pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. CleverCharff’s Photorealistic Whiterun is a complete overhaul of Whiterun textures, both exterior and interior.
The latest version of this 4K HD Texture Pack is 1.6GB in size. Contrary to some other HD Texture Packs, though, it improves the textures for both interior and exterior places. In short, it overhauls every texture that you can find in Whiterun.
Since this mod affects almost exclusively Whiterun assets, the modder suggests loading it after all other mods.
As a bonus, we are also bringing you another texture pack from the same modder. As the title suggests, CleverCharff’s Photorealistic Mountains overhauls the mountains that players will encounter in Skyrim.
You can download CleverCharff’s Photorealistic Whiterun from here, and CleverCharff’s Photorealistic Mountains from here.

The first Watch_Dogs still looks stunning thanks to mods and Reshade Ray Tracing
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-first-watch_dogs-still-looks-stunning-thanks-to-mods-and-reshade-ray-tracing/
Watch_Dogs… a game that a lot of people cricitized when it launched in 2014. And… well… can you really blame them? The game was nowhere close to what Ubisoft had been showing on its pre-release screenshots and trailers. However, and thanks to some mods, the PC version can still look gorgeous.
YouTube’s ‘Digital Dreams’ has shared the following the video, showcasing the game running with the Natural & Realistic Lighting mod. Furthermore, Digital Dreams has used Pascal “Marty McFly” Gilcher’s Reshade that adds support for post-process Ray Tracing effects.
>> You can download this mod from this Guru3D forum thread.
