Voxel Duke Nukem 3D Has Been Released and It’s Retro-Cool
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/voxel-duke-nukem-3d-has-been-released-and-its-retro-cool
Last month, we informed you about a Voxel 3D Mod for 3D Realm’s classic FPS, Duke Nukem 3D. And today, I’m happy to report that Voxel Duke Nukem 3D has been released, and you can download it. So, abandon anything you’re doing and get it.
Created by modder Cheello, Voxel Duke 3D offers one of the most faithful remastered experiences. The new 3D models retain the art style of the original sprites. They look so good that you might have trouble distinguishing them. The only way to fully admire them is by circle-strafing your opponents. When you do that, you won’t see rotating 2D sprites. Instead, you’ll enjoy the enemies in all their 3D voxel glory.
>> The article has a roughly 1 minute trailer of the mod.

Dark Souls 2 Will Soon Get RTGI And It Already Looks Glorious
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/dark-souls-2-will-soon-get-rtgi-and-it-already-looks-glorious
Dark Souls 2 fans, get ready for a treat. The creator of the amazing DS2LightingEngine Mod is currently working on a new version that will add support for real-time RTGI. Although there is no ETA on when the mod will come out, Ganaboy shared some early screenshots from it. And, as you will see, it already looks glorious.
What’s crucial to note is that this mod will add proper support for real-time Ray Tracing Global Illumination. This isn’t an “RT hack” like those we’ve seen with Reshade.
To showcase the visual benefits of RTGI, the modder shared a comparison between the game’s vanilla and RTGI lighting. On the left, we have the vanilla lighting. On the right, we have RTGI. As you can see, Dark Souls 2 looks awful with its default lighting. But with RTGI, the game can look almost as good as a lot of current-gen titles.

Timesplitters Rewind Is Available For Download In Early Access
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/timesplitters-rewind-is-available-for-download-in-early-access
And the time has finally come. TimeSplitters fans, get ready for a treat. Cinder Interactive has released the Early Access version of TimeSplitters Rewind. So, if you’ve been waiting for a new TimeSplitters game, you should stop whatever you’re doing and download it.
TimeSplitters Rewind is a fan-made project that acts like a “greatest hits” version of the original TimeSplitters trilogy. It includes maps, game modes, leagues, challenges, and story content from all three games. Instead of being three separate remakes, Rewind is one single game that captures the spirit of the whole series. It’s not just an HD collection—it’s its own unique title. The game features tons of content from all three games. However, the first release will focus on a smaller selection of classic content and some brand-new additions.
At launch, TimeSplitters Rewind has 28 Maps, 50 Arcade Leagues, 32 Challenges, and 91 Characters. Players can also expect to get their hands on 41 Weapons and 20 Arcade Game Modes. Up to ten players will be able to play online. The game will have both an Online and Offline Story Mode. Plus, it has a new Game Mode, called Team Elimination.
TimeSplitters Rewind has been in development hell for over a decade. So, the fact that it’s finally out is a big accomplishment. Let’s now hope that its fans will embrace and support it.
>> The article has the specs needed to run it (I’ll be extremely surprised if you can’t), and a close to 2 minutes video.

Mod fixes 17-year-old lip-sync bug in Fallout 3 and New Vegas
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fallout/mod-fixes-17-year-old-lip-sync-bug-in-fallout-3-and-new-vegas/
Nexus Mods is currently hosting a Fallout modding marathon timed to coincide with the second season of the TV show. Fresh off a rewatch of the first season I'm replaying New Vegas right now myself, and keeping an eye on new mods like the ones that add a unique upgradable outfit for the Courier and extend the companion wheel.
The highlight so far is Lip Motion Fix, a mod that is available for both New Vegas and Fallout 3 since it deals with a consistent issue in both games. As modder Asterra highlights in a before-and-after video, lip sync is broken in both games in the exact same ways.
The dialogue generation system gets a bunch of things wrong, defaulting to a closed mouth when a character should be pronouncing the "ee" sound at the end of "modesty" for instance, or treating "town" as if it's pronounced "tone". It also has trouble with elements of the script like dashes and voice actor guidance given in brackets, and plenty of other things besides.
Which is why Lip Motion Fix has a lot of work to do, not only in fixing the multiple lip-sync problems across these two games, but being compatible with popular mods that tweak dialogue and replace actors like Brave New World does—as well as mods that change the way NPCs look. It's an impressive amount of work.

Resurrected racer The Crew Unlimited swerves to avoid yet another death, as its curators issue 'one of the most important updates we've ever released'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/racing/resurrected-racer-the-crew-unlimited-swerves-to-avoid-yet-another-death-as-its-curators-issue-one-of-the-most-important-updates-weve-ever-released/
Open world online racer The Crew was recently resurrected by a team of enthusiast developers after its original developer Ubisoft wrote it off last year. But it turns out The Crew Unlimited was on course to return to the scrapyard relatively soon, had its new pit crew not nixed a peculiar bug that recalls the most infamous computer glitch of the 20th century.
In a post on The Crew Unlimited's website (via RPS), Crew curator whammy4 details what they describe as "one of the most important updates we've ever released." Whammy4 explains that, not long after TCU's launch in September, the team realised that "if your PC date is set to post June 2029 … The Crew stops working."
