This mod attempts to recreate Spider-Man 2’s traversal system in Spider-Man Remastered
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-mod-attempts-to-recreate-spider-man-2s-traversal-system-in-spider-man-remastered/
Modder ‘Skibidiohiorizz’ just dropped an awesome mod for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. This mod is a game-changer, giving the traversal system a major upgrade. This mod is all about bringing the vibes of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 into the first game. The goal? To recreate that sweet traversal system PS5 players enjoyed.
This mod introduces new air tricks (with one of them replacing the forward air dodge). It also brings faster web-swinging, webzip and point launch. Players will also be able to use a wingsuit (which will replace the “Low Gravity” suit power). There are also Spider Jumps and Spider Dashes. Not only that but the mod introduces slingshots and some new swinging trails effects.
All in all, this is a must-have mod for all Spider-Man fans. Now since the mod will completely change the way you play the game, we suggest using it in your second playthrough. So, go ahead and download it from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a showcase video for it.

https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/fallout-london-dlc-sized-mod-for-fallout-4-will-release-on-april-23rd/
The team behind the DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4, Fallout: London, has announced that its fan expansion will release on April 23rd. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has also shared a new trailer that you can find below.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC-sized Mod, Apotheosis, will release in 2025
https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-dlc-sized-mod-apotheosis-will-release-in-2025/
The creators of the fan expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Apotheosis, just revealed that it will be coming out in 2025. To celebrate, they also dropped a cool new trailer. So, go ahead and take a look at it.
Apotheosis will be a dark fantasy expansion, with a super cool story and a big open world to explore. This expansion takes place in 17 Planes of Oblivion and the ‘Dreamsleeve’.
In Apotheosis, storytelling, quests, and narrative design will be important elements. The team will also put a lot of emphasis on player freedom. Or at least that’s its goal. Plus, it’s working on some cool new gameplay stuff.

Phantasy Star Online will get a Unity3D Fan Remake in 2024
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/phantasy-star-online-will-get-a-unity3d-fan-remake-in-2024/
A team of modders is currently working on a fan remake of Phantasy Star Online in Unity3D. This fan remake will be fully playable, and it will come out in 2024. Below you can also find a teaser trailer for it.
Phantasy Star Online Remake is built on top of the MMORPG tech that has been in development in Unity3D for many years. This MMORPG framework has been in development for many years and it’s now in a complete enough state that multiple commercial game titles are being developed using it. Thus, the Phantasy Star Online Remake project can finally benefit from it.
What’s crazy here is that the MMORPG framework has been mainly developed by a single developer. As such, we’re eager to get our hands on it and test it. Seriously, imagine if a single dev has managed to create a robust MMORPG system. This will put to shame most commercial gaming studios.

PC gamers can enjoy an unofficial sequel to Super Mario Sunshine
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/pc-gamers-can-enjoy-an-unofficial-sequel-to-super-mario-sunshine/
A team of modders is working on a sequel mod for Super Mario Sunshine, and it’s exclusively for PC gamers. It’s called Super Mario Eclipse, and it’s all about adding fresh new content to Super Mario Sunshine. Not only that but there’s a demo you can grab and play right now.
Super Mario Eclipse will be dropping its full version on June 30th, 2024. It will have a load of cool stuff like new characters, fresh environments, slick moves, and a whopping 240 Shinesprites to snag. The team behind it says it’s basically the sequel Super Mario Sunshine 2 could’ve been.
And guess what? You can already grab a demo of Super Mario Eclipse. This demo has 3 cool characters to play, 4 awesome main courses to check out, and a bunch of Shinesprites and blue coins to scoop up – 37 Shinesprites and 60 blue coins, to be exact. And let’s not forget a new super catchy original soundtrack. Plus, the game comes with way new moves and better collisions.
To play Super Mario Sunshine, you gotta get a legally ripped USA non-nkit .iso of the game. Once you’ve got that, you can use a Nintendo Wii/Nintendo GameCube emulator to run it. The team recommends using Dolphin.
>> Since it's technically a mod for the first game, Nintendo shouldn't be able to take it down, but you never know. By the way, there's a video of the mod in the article.

This mod turns Yakuza: Like a Dragon into a classic Yakuza action brawler
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-mod-turns-yakuza-like-a-dragon-into-a-classic-yakuza-brawler/
Yakuza: Like a Dragon was my GOTY in 2020. And although I didn’t mind its change from an action brawler to a turn-based strategy, I know that a lot of Yakuza fans were put off by this change. Well, good news if you were one of them as there is a mod that turns it into a classic Yakuza action game.
Like A Brawler turns Yakuza: Like a Dragon into a real-time combat action game. This will allow Ichiban Kasuga to fight in real-time. Ichiban will now be able to perform brand new heat actions and utilize multiple styles to efficiently strike down his enemies. This is a game-changer. And yes, I highly recommend trying it.
>> The article has a video of it.

The Day Before may get an offline mode thanks to modders
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-day-before-may-get-an-offline-mode-thanks-to-modders/
The Day Before was one of the most disappointing games of 2023. Originally marketed as an MMORPG, The Day Before was actually an Extraction Shooter that looked and played nothing like its pre-release videos. In just mere days after hitting Steam Early Access, Fntastic closed its doors. And, from the looks of it, modders are working on an offline mode for it.
>> The most important question here is very easy to guess: why?
