Capcom has announced some new sales figures for its latest games. According to the Japanese company, Resident Evil 2 Remake has sold over 6.5 million copies, whereas Resident Evil 3 Remake has sold 2.5 million copies.
Furthermore, Monster Hunter World is still Capcom’s best selling game. The base game has sold over 15.5 million copies on all platforms. On the other hand, its expansion, Iceborne, has sold 5 million copies.
In other news, Capcom has also announced that it’s working on multiple major new titles. As the press release reads, Capcom plans to release 13 new SKUs. However, this does not mean that there are 13 games under development.

Steam Summer Sale dates have leaked
https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-sale-2020-date-leak/
Remember when Steam sale date leaks were a big deal? I don't, really. The dates for Steam sales have been leaking for so long and so far in advance that it seems like the natural order of things now: The start date floats to the surface somewhere, we tell you about it, Valve acts like it doesn't even notice, and then on the appointed day the sale kicks off, Steam becomes inaccessible for an hour, and then we spend the next week or so blowing all kind of money on cheap games.
It's both the natural order of things and my roundabout way of telling you the Steam Summer Sale dates have leaked. Again.
Pavel Djundik is one of the minds behind the Steam Database, a site known for occasionally leaking things happening on, or coming to, Steam. Last week, for instance, a SteamDB listing revealed that Yakuza: Like a Dragon is headed for PC. (The Steam listing is live now, by the way.) At least one other source cited the same dates, and June 25 is when the 2019 Summer Sale kicked off, so that tracks too.

MODS/EMULATORS

Grand Theft Auto 4 can look gorgeous in GTA5 Engine with Reshade Ray Tracing and mods
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/grand-theft-auto-4-can-look-gorgeous-in-gta5-engine-with-reshade-ray-tracing-and-mods/
Grand Theft Auto 5 came out on the PC in 2015. And, after five whole years, the game can still look great on the PC via a GTA5 mod. YouTube’s Digital Dreams has shared a video, showing GTA 4’s map in GTA 5 with Reshade Ray Tracing effects. Naturally, Digital Dreams has also used a mod in order to further improve the game’s visuals. And the results are absolutely amazing.
Now while GTA V looks awesome with these mods, there is a big issue here and that’s the awful pop-ins. In the following video, you will notice major pop-in issues with shadows and reflections. Apparently, the game does not load these effects in time, resulting in some awful issues. And while the game looks better than the vanilla version, these pop-in issues can be really distructing.
>> It looks impressive but, in my opinion, it has a bit too much bling.

Resident Evil Remake is getting a fan made remake on the Resident Evil 4 engine
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/resident-evil-remake-is-getting-a-fan-made-remake-on-the-resident-evil-4-engine/
In the last few years we have seen several remakes from Capcom. Most of these remakes were pretty good, and especially the Resident Evil 2 Remake which was phenomenal. Resident Evil 2 Remake is probably the best remake ever made by anyone.
A Youtube user, who goes by the nickname Mr. Curious, has created another remake of the first Resident Evil. The original Resident Evil was simply amazing, and the remake of that game was even better. Resident Evil Remake, is by far my favorite game in the whole series.
This fan made project is called Resident Evil Remix, and that’s because it simply mixes both games into one. Meaning the camera is over-the-shoulder; just like it is in Resident Evil 4. This means you are free to aim and shoot wherever you want.
