Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is free to keep on Ubisoft Connect
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/assassins-creed-syndicate-is-free-to-keep-on-ubisoft-connect/
Ubisoft is giving away an older AC game, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, for free for a limited time. Until December 6th, PC gamers can visit its Ubisoft Connect page and get their free copy.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate came out in 2015, and it was the next game after Assassin’s Creed Unity. For Syndicate, Ubisoft downgraded its graphics. As such, the game is not as graphically impressive as Unity. Still, it looks great for a game that came out in 2015.
In Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, you get to be Jacob or Evie and play. The game is set in London in 1868. It’s during the Industrial Revolution, and you have to lead your own group to fight those who exploit the less privileged.

Both GOG and Steam still run its Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Autumn Sales, which will end tomorrow.

Humble Bundle has launched the Black Friday Score: The Walking Dead & More from Skybound Bundle, with up to 15 items to get during 11 days: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/black-friday-score-walking-dead-more-from-skybound.

Resident Evil 4 Remake just got an amazing Silent Hill Outfit Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/resident-evil-4-remake-just-got-an-amazing-silent-hill-outfit-mod/
Silent Hill and Resident Evil fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘AmanoSomething’ has released an amazing Silent Hill Mod for Resident Evil 4 Remake. This mod replaces the outfits of the main cast with those from the first Silent Hill game.
Going into more details, Leon will now wear the same clothes Harry Mason did in Silent Hill. On the other hand, Ada will look like Cybil Bennett, and Luis will wear the same costume that Michael Kaufmann did. Ashley will also now have two new outfits – one like Lisa Garland and the other like Alessa Gillespie.
This mod looks so good that it really feels like an official crossover DLC between Resident Evil and Silent Hill. So, if you are fans of both of these franchises, we highly recommend downloading from this link. Below you can also find a video from it. This video can give you an idea of what you can expect from it. So, make sure to watch it.
>> The video is over 20 minutes long.

This Starfield Mod completely disables its dialogue cameras
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-starfield-mod-completely-disables-the-dialogue-camera/
It’s no secret that a lot of players didn’t like the way Starfield’s dialogue camera worked, which had also a lot of bugs. Well, good news everyone. Modder “AntoniX” released a mod that gets rid of it completely.
With this mod, players can now use a more traditional third-person camera in conversations. The mod also offers a first-person mode. Plus, it looks like you can move around freely during your chats. As such, the game will now be more immersive.
To show what this mod does, AntoniX posted the following video. I suggest watching it because it’ll give you an idea of what the mod does. And yes, it seems to be an improvement compared to what Bethesda originally had. At least, that’s what I think.
>> The video is quite short, less than one minute.

Mortal Kombat 2 Remix is an incredible remaster of the classic 2D fighting game
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/mortal-kombat-2-remix-incredible-remaster-classic-2d-fighting-game/
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the old classic 2D Mortal Kombat games. The first Mortal Kombat was amazing, and its sequel turned everything up to eleven. Mortal Kombat 2 is considered by a lot of players as the best game of the original trilogy. And, from the looks of it, there is a remaster for it that you can download and play.
For those wondering, this is a MUGEN game, meaning that is free to everyone. Here is the thing though. Contrary to other MUGEN games, this is a really polished one. Everything feels like the 2D Mortal Kombat games. There aren’t any major glitches, and the controls seem to be great. Combat pacing also seems similar to the classic MK games.
Not only that but Mortal Kombat 2 Remix comes with major QoL improvements. For instance, it introduces the “Run” mechanic from Mortal Kombat 3. It also adds new combos, as well as new moves for all characters. The stages also look better, with more details and cosmetics. Take for instance Pit 2. It now has a volcano in the background. Or the Portal stage which now has animated effects. Oh, and every secret character is playable now.

This Cyberpunk 2077 Mod significantly improves its draw distance
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-cyberpunk-2077-mod-significantly-improves-its-draw-distance/
Modder ‘sosuinepsixuyu’ has released a new mod for Cyberpunk 2077. As the title implies, this mod significantly improves its draw distance. Thanks to this mod, you’ll reduce the distant pop-ins of objects. As such, we highly recommend downloading it.
Do note though that this mod will not increase the shadow cascades. As such, the mod will not address the shadow pop-ins you get while exploring the city or while driving vehicles. It also does not introduce any improvements to its LOD system. All it does is increase the draw distance of various objects. So yeah, there will be fewer pop-ins, but don’t expect an experience similar to what UE5 does with Nanite.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind gets a World of Warcraft Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind-gets-a-world-of-warcraft-mod/
Now here is something cool for our Morrowind fans. Modder ‘TelShadow’ has just released a new mod for it that aims to add the world of Azeroth to Tamriel.
TelShadow has been working on this mod for over a year, and its current version adds the continent of Northrend. Or, to be more precise, eight zones out of ten. The two zones that are not included are Zul Drak and Howling Fjord. According to the modder, the next version of the mod will have them (alongside custom weather and some new creatures).
Right now, World of Morrocraft only has exterior zones and some weather patterns. In other words, this is just an exterior showcase. You can walk around, but there is nothing you can do in these new places. Morrowind also looks dated these days, so most of you won’t be impressed by the new environments. Still, this is a cool mod that may interest some of you. In future versions, the modder plans to add new NPCs, creatures and quests.

Unreal Engine 5-powered Attack on Titan Free Game Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/unreal-engine-5-powered-attack-on-titan-free-game-released/
Attack on Titan fans, here is something for you today. YouTube’s ‘Swammy’ has shared a new free Attack on Titan fan game that you can download and play. This free fan-made Attack on Titan game is powered by Unreal Engine 5.
However, from what I’ve seen, it does not take advantage of Nanite or Lumen. Swammy hasn’t shared any tech details so yeah, we are on the blind here. Also, since this is coming from one person, you should temper your visual expectations. This isn’t a UE5 graphical powerhouse. Swammy has been working on this free AoT game for a while. This latest version comes with reworked ODM and Character Models/Skins. It also adds a new Titan Model, as well as better AI for Titans. Moreover, it adds to the game the Thunder Spears, allows you to reload blades/gas, and implements re-supply points.
The only downside here is that the content for this AoT game is quite limited. For instance, it appears to only have one Mission Mode (in which players will have to protect Eren Yeager). Thankfully, though, it also comes with a Multiplayer Mode.
In the next parts, Swammy plans to add more Missions and a Tutorial Mode. However, there is no ETA on when the second big part of this free AoT game will come out.

Bloober Team issues official statement about Silent Hill 2 Remake
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/bloober-team-issues-official-statement-about-silent-hill-2-remake/
Konami officially announced Silent Hill 2 Remake in October 2022. Since then, though, the publisher hasn’t shared any new details, screenshots or videos for it. Naturally, a lot of people assumed that the project was stuck in development hell. And, from the looks of it, this prompted Bloober Team to release a statement to clarify the situation.
