Resident Evil 2 Remake gets an HD Texture Pack, overhauling over 100 textures
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/resident-evil-2-remake-gets-an-hd-texture-pack-overhauling-over-100-textures/
Resident Evil 2 Remake was one of the best-looking games on PC in 2019. Still though, the game suffered from some really low-resolution textures here and there. As such, we are happy to report that modder Ashok has released an HD Texture Pack that overhauls over 100 low-res textures.
As the modder noted, this texture pack overhauls over 100 Resident Evil 2 Remake textures with higher resolution textures (1K – 4K) from Resident Evil 3 Remake. This is a clever move as both of these games use the same environment (Raccoon City). Moreover, the modder has handmade a few convenient store textures.
Overall, these new textures will greatly improve signs, posters, decals, props, etc.
>> Available from Nexus Mods.

New God of War mod lets you mess up Kratos in every way imaginable
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/new-god-of-war-mod-lets-you-mess-up-kratos-in-every-way-imaginable/
Most of the projects for God of War up on its Nexus Mods site are lighting overhauls or maxed out save files, but one modder over on YouTube is pushing in a more avant-garde direction.
In the past, modder Speclizer has focused on finding out-of-bounds secrets and unused assets in the Last of Us and the console release of God of War, similar to how Zullie the Witch or Lance McDonald do for From Software titles.
