Take-Two shuts down the AI-powered story mod for GTA 5
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/take-two-shuts-down-the-ai-powered-story-mod-for-gta-5/
Remember Inworld Sentient Streets? You know, the story mod for GTA 5 that featured AI-powered NPCs. Well, to the surprise of no one, Take-Two has just shut it down.
Bloc, the modder behind Inworld Sentient Streets, explained.
“About the mod itself, at this moment, the NexusMods version has been removed, by DMCA Takedown by Take-Two Interactive just today. Most likely this is what will happen to gta5mods too but I removed that one myself to avoid any legal trouble.”
Take-Two has also hit Bloc’s YouTube and Netlify accounts with copyright strikes. And, given what happened with NexusMods, this doesn’t appear to be an automated error. These are manual strikes from Take-Two.

The team behind the upcoming DLC-sized fan expansion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Apotheosis, has released a new trailer for it.
The Apotheosis Mod started as a fan expansion for the original version of Skyrim. However, its team has now decided to upgrade its engine and continue development on Skyrim Special Edition.
Apotheosis is a dark fantasy, story-rich, open-world expansion for Skyrim that is set across the 17 Planes of Oblivion, and ‘Dreamsleeve’, in an echo of a fallen world.
According to the team, storytelling, quests and narrative design, as integral pillars of Apotheosis, focus on reactivity and player freedom. Furthermore, the team is also developing some new gameplay systems that will be tied to its narrative.
The Elder Scrolls: Apotheosis Mod currently targets a 2025 release date.

Fan is working on a re-imagined demake of Tomb Raider: Legend
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/fan-is-working-on-a-re-imagined-demake-of-tomb-raider-legend/
Now here is something really cool for all our Tomb Raider fans. YouTube’s Delca is currently working on a re-imagined demake of Tomb Raider: Legend, and below you can find a gameplay video from it.
Tomb Raider Legend Demake is a fan game/demake of Tomb Raider: Legend. In order to create this demake, Delca is using an enhanced version of the TR4 engine (called TRNG).
Now what’s cool here is that this unofficial/fan demake features gameplay and environments that are closer to the original 32-bit Tomb Raider games. As Dulca claims, the gameplay and environments are “reimagined as they would be if they were made by Core Design in the late 90s/early 2000s.”
For those unaware, Tomb Raider: Legend is an action-adventure video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos Interactive. It is the seventh main entry in the Tomb Raider series and a reboot of the series. Tomb Raider Legend came out in 2005 on numerous platforms, including the PC.
Dulca plans to release this first chapter of the Tomb Raider Legend Demake on August 26th. And yes, we’ll be sure to share the demo once it becomes available.
>> The video is less than 1 minute long.
