The Callisto Protocol just got an AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/the-callisto-protocol-just-got-an-amd-fsr-3-1-frame-generation-mod/
Modder ‘amanisdeadnow’ has released a new mod that adds support for AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation Mod in The Callisto Protocol. This mod will allow you to play the game with high framerates, even when using its CPU-heavy Ray Tracing effects. As such, it’s a must for pretty much everyone.
(...)
It’s also worth noting that KRAFTON removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech in March 2024. So, that’s another cool thing to keep in mind.
>> The article has a video… of Stalker 2, because it has a similar mod and both mods share the same way to enable them.

Elden Ring got a new Bleach mod, allowing you to use Hyorinmaru
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/elden-ring-got-a-new-bleach-mod-allowing-you-to-use-hyorinmaru/
Now here is something cool for all our Elden Ring and Bleach fans. Modder ‘Azeus’ has just released a new Bleach mod for Elden Ring which allows you to wield Captain Hitsugaya’s Zanpakuto, Hyorinmaru.
What’s really incredible here is that the mod comes with custom attack moves. These new attacks are heavily inspired by Bleach. And yes, you will also be able to use Bankai.
Going into more details, players will be able to power up with a 2 stage transformation, changing the abilities of the moveset and changing the AoW for buffs and burst damage. Under the effects of the AoW, heavy attacks in both 1h and 2h forms will become buffed with varied ice effects.
When 2 handing Hyorinmaru, players will be able to release the blade to its true form: Daiguren Hyorinmaru. Players will transform into the form that Toshiro has in Bankai, complete with Ice Dragon wings and tail.
And that’s not all. The Perfected Bankai of Daiguren Hyorinmaru is available after the effects of the AoW Tenso Jurin wear off. Marked by the Ice Lightning on the player, using the AoW while transformed will initiate the 2nd stage of the transformation.
>> There’s an almost 5 minutes video of the mod.

New STALKER 2 Mod adds a cool Parkour-like climbing system
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/new-stalker-2-mod-adds-a-cool-parkour-like-climbing-system/
STALKER 2 came out last week and we’ve already gotten some truly amazing mods for it. Today, we bring you a mod that adds a Parkour-like climbing system to the game. Thanks to this, players will have access to places that were previously inaccessible. As such, it’s a must-have mod, at least in my opinion.
Going into more details, the Ledge Grabbing Mod allows Skif to to mantle onto anything just above head height. This modded mantling system improves functionality and QoL. It will also allow for more vertical gameplay opportunities and environment traversal.
For instance, you can now climb to higher places to avoid mutants. You can also climb trucks and fences so that you can get to stashes that were previously inaccessible.
Here’s a good example. In the Rookie Village, there is a hidden stash right outside the town. This stash is on a rooftop inside a house, and there is a truck outside the house. So, normally, you’d assume that you’d be able to climb the truck. The front of the truck is at a similar height to the fences that Skiff can climb. And while you can climb the fences, you cannot climb the truck. I don’t know if this is a bug or not. What I know is that there is no other way to get to the rooftop (no ladders or crates to climb, no hidden passage from inside the house, nothing). So, without the mod, you cannot climb to the rooftop of that house. With this mod, you can finally climb the truck and get to the stash.
What’s also interesting here is that this mod comes in two variations. The default version allows Skif to climb all objects that are as high as himself. The second version allows you to climb objects that are a little lower than your head height. Both of them also come with Melee and jump Stamina reduction versions.

Bloodborne Remaster is now a thing on PC thanks to shadPS4
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/bloodborne-remaster-is-now-a-thing-on-pc-thanks-to-shadps4/
Although Bloodborne has not been released on PC, modders are already working on improving the PS4 version which can now run on PC via shadPS4. And, these past couple of months, modder ‘fromsoftserve’ has been working on Bloodborne Remaster Project. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
Bloodborne Remaster Project brings major graphical enhancements to Bloodborne. The mod enables dynamic shadowcasting for the entire game. It also modifies the range and visibility of shadows. Not only that but it packs some higher-quality textures.
And that’s not all. This mod even adds new lights to the game. Plus, it adds pointlights for street lamps, and wall lamps, and many will be shadowcasting as well. The mod also enables more ambient occlusion to be used by the game, by modifying the gparam files. Hell, it even adds parallax occlusion mapping to various surfaces.
In short, this is exactly what you’d expect to see in a remastered version of Bloodborne. And now, PC gamers can experience it on the PC.
All you have to do is download the mod from this link. For an even better experience, you can get Bloodborne Visual Tweaks as it can add TAA, RTGI, MXAO, and more.

GAMING NEWS

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will use the Denuvo anti-tamper tech
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/assassins-creed-shadows-will-use-the-denuvo-anti-tamper-tech/
Ubisoft has updated the Steam store page for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, revealing that the game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Moreover, the game will require a Ubisoft account, even if you purchase it on Steam.
(...)
What’s also interesting here is the game’s EULA. According to it, the game may monitor your RAM for unauthorized third-party programs. Since this is a single-player game, I don’t see the point of it. Perhaps Ubisoft copied the EULA from another title? Or will they start banning people for using trainers? You know, so that they will be forced to buy MTX if they want to avoid grinding. Now that will be hilarious.
>> I was tempted to buy AC Odyssey during the Autumn Sale, but because of things like this RAM thing, I didn’t felt like giving Ubi any money.
