Star Wars Open Worlds Mod for Fallout New Vegas looks really impressive
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/star-wars-open-worlds-mod-for-fallout-new-vegas-looks-really-impressive/
Star Wars fans, here is something really special for you today. Tank Girl has released a new gameplay video for Star Wars Open Worlds; one of the most ambitious mods for Fallout New Vegas.
Star Wars Open Worlds promises to feature an engaging choice-driven story with 12 planets to explore. It will also have fully voice-acted characters, as well as a character customization system. Additionally, players can expect an RPG-style skill system and a new crafting system.

Resident Evil Village mod replaces Sturm with a 'copyright-free' floor fan
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/resident-evil-village-mod-replaces-sturm-with-a-copyright-free-floor-fan/
There was a spot of controversy in May when Richard Raaphorst, the director of the 2013 film Frankenstein's Army, claimed that the Resident Evil Village boss named Sturm—essentially a radial airplane engine with legs—ripped off a monster design from his film. Even the manners of their deaths were almost identical, he said.
"It's just the same scene as in my movie, except that in my movie you have to cut loose the fuel tubes. That's the only thing that is missing," he told Eurogamer. "But the whole thing is getting into flames, and then it explodes, and then the way it rotates through the camera—it's all the same, really. Even the environments, the whole colour palette. It looks like an animatic for my movie."
(...)
The original Sturm model remains in the game, which prompted a modder named Pumpkinhook to create a model replacement called Copyright Free Sturm. The mod takes a very simple yet effective approach to addressing Raaphorst's complaint by turning the character into the world's most dangerous pedestal fan.
