Unreal Engine 5.1 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Christmas Special available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/unreal-engine-5-1-zelda-ocarina-of-time-christmas-special-available-for-download/
CryZENx has released a special version of his The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time fan remake in Unreal Engine 5.1. This is the first public release of the UE5.1 version of this fan remake, and we highly recommend downloading it.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5.1 uses Lumen and Nanite. As such, and even in this early stage, this WIP build looks noticeably better than its UE4 version.
Since this is a Christmas Special version, you can expect some Christmas stuff (that aren’t obviously present in the original Nintendo 64 game). For example, Link wears a Christmas hat and there are Christmas decorations.
>> There's a 12 minutes long video of it.

GAMING NEWS

Halo 3 “Pimps at Sea” build has been leaked online
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/halo-3-pimps-at-sea-build-has-been-leaked-online/
It appears that the “Pimps at Sea” build for Halo 3 has been leaked online. This leaked build currently requires an Xbox 360 JTAG/RGH/devkit to play. And while the Xenia emulator can boot it, it cannot get past its menu.
For those unaware, the Halo 3 “Pimps at Sea” is a very early build that features cut content and placeholders from Halo 2. This is mostly an archival documentation of Halo 3’s development. Nevertheless, we are sure that a lot of Halo 3 fans will find it interesting.

3D Realms’ Prey 1995 Prototype Build has been leaked online
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/3d-realms-prey-1995-prototype-build-has-been-leaked-online/
Now here is something really special for all our old-school first-person shooter fans. The 1995 prototype build/tech demo for 3D Realms’ Prey has just been leaked online. As such, PC gamers can download and run it on their PC systems.
For those unaware, 3D Realms was working on Prey back in 1995. Prey would be taking full advantage of the portal technology, way before Quake 3 Arena attempted such a thing. And while the team could not create a full game, it did develop a prototype build/tech demo.

Amazon's adding shorts and tights to a new Lost Ark class to dial-down the lewdness
https://www.pcgamer.com/amazons-adding-shorts-and-tights-to-a-new-lost-ark-class-to-dial-down-the-lewdness/
Isometric fantasy fashion parade Lost Ark is one of those games that's at slightly different points in different regions. The Korean version runs ahead of the western one, essentially, meaning that players of the Amazon Games published version over here usually have some idea of what they're getting: and one of the most anticipated additions has been the addition of a new class, the Artist.
The Artist is a young woman who, in the Korean version, favors extremely short skirts. And it appears that Amazon considers some of the Artist's Korean skins to be, well, just a bit too thirsty. "Nothing gameplay-related will change for the Artist Class, but some skins will be modified to better fit Western norms", reads the official announcement. "Specifically, skins with short skirts will have shorts added underneath the skirt, and other skins will have adjusted pant lengths or tights added."

Sherlock Holmes studio Frogwares shares a defiant look at life inside Ukraine
https://www.pcgamer.com/sherlock-holmes-studio-frogwares-shares-a-defiant-look-at-life-inside-ukraine/
Ukrainian studio Frogwares has been very outspoken about the Russian invasion of its home country. Employees were forced to flee the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in May, but just a few days later Frogwares announced that it was beginning work on a brand new project, partially as an act of defiance: "A clear middle finger to those who thought they could just roll into our country hoping to disrupt and ruin our lives," the studio said. As a reward in an August crowdfunding campaign for a remake of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, Frogwares' first game, it also offered followers a chance to put messages on artillery shells that would be fired at Russian forces—and flat-out rejected criticism of the move.
Yesterday the studio shared a status update on Twitter, not on the state of the game but on life in Ukraine, which the studio said has been "quite difficult" over the past couple of months.

https://www.pcgamer.com/devs-of-warhammer-40k-gladius-have-cooked-up-a-cool-world-for-their-new-project/
It's always a delight to see a new and interesting looking game world, one you'd really want to play around in, and Proxy Studios' Zephon looks to be set up to deliver just that. It'll be a followup on Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War, a 4X game set in the eponymous grim, dark universe that has gained a very devoted following over its years of development.
