Take a look at Max Payne 2 with RTX Remix Path Tracing
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/take-a-look-at-max-payne-2-with-rtx-remix-path-tracing
Here is something for our Max Payne fans. YouTube’s ‘Digital Floundry’ (I know, catchy name, but he should be careful otherwise Digital Foundry may close his account) is currently working on an RTX Remix Mod for Max Payne 2.
So far, the modder has finished the Prologue. Every texture has been upscaled four times with PBR materials like height, shine, roughness, normal, glow, and metallic effects. The modder is also almost done with Chapter 1 (the warehouse level).
As always, do note that everything you are about to see is a WIP. The mod is in a very early dev stage. Still, it looks really cool, which is why I’ve decided to share it with you.
Digital Floundry is also working on an RTX Remix Mod for Dead to Rights. He’ll soon post a demo for it, and I’ll be sure to share it with you once it’s out. Until then, you can watch two videos from it.
Digital Floundry used to go by the name Digital Clowntree. He’s the same person who made the RTX Remix Mod for American McGee’s Alice. (...)
>> The article has three videos, one for the Max Payne remix and the other two for Dead to Rights.

A multiplayer mod for Marvel’s Spider-Man is available in early access
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/a-multiplayer-mod-for-marvels-spider-man-is-available-in-early-access
Now here is something really cool for our Spider-Man fans. A team of modders has been working on a multiplayer mod for the first Marvel’s Spider-Man game and has released a beta version of it.
Do note that this first beta build for this MP Mod is behind a Patreon wall. My guess is that the team will fully release it for free once it has addressed most of its major issues. Sadly, though, there is no ETA on when this will happen.
Right now, the mod supports up to 16 players. The mod let’s you play with your friends some of the game’s main missions. Right now, the team is working on free roam content. Once it has tweaked the game to be fun when doing side-quests, it will look into resuming its work for the main story.
Friends can see your suit mods so long as you both have the same suit mods installed. If you don’t, then the person who doesn’t have the suit mod installed will not be able to see the person with the suit. Additionally, if you use animation mods, it’s better for all players to have them installed.

Total War: Warhammer 3 finally playable now someone's modded in an entire crab empire faction with its own mechanics, lore, and enormous crustacean units
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/strategy/total-war-warhammer-3-finally-playable-now-someones-modded-in-an-entire-crab-empire-faction-with-its-own-mechanics-lore-and-enormous-crustacean-units/
I'm not a scientist, but my understanding of the concept of carcinisation is that, in essence, all evolutionary roads lead to crab. You and me? Some day we'll be crabs. Spiders? Crabs. Butterflies? Crabs. Total War: Warhammer 3? You better believe it's on the road to crabdom, baby.
In fact, in the case of that last one, it's already at the end of the road. It's thanks to The Crustacean Nation, from a modder named Pegaz (brought to my attention by a video from YouTuber MonstersAbound), which does the good and necessary work of adding "a fully playable campaign race of Crabs to the game."
These crabs are fully custom, because anything less would be an insult, and the faction features five legendary lords, three generic lords, three generic hero types, and 30 units of general crab fodder. They've all got their own mechanics and, in general, have a slightly terrifying amount of work poured into them. Ever wanted to dispatch a crack squadron of airborne prawns at your enemies? Of course you have. What young child hasn't?
It's one of those mods that feels like it could have been a genuine DLC, in some alternate universe where the Creative Assembly team fully cracked, and I can't help but deeply admire it. It's not just the unique abilities, skilltrees, and various other mechanics that make the whole thing so profoundly crabby, it's that it all has its own appropriate flavour text to round out the lore of the whole thing. You know that feeling of admiration you get when you encounter something with an overriding and bottomless interest in a subject that's entire universes away from anything you've ever thought about? That's what this sparks in me.
