Demon’s Souls PC Remaster Mod Version 0.5 Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/demons-souls-pc-remaster-mod-version-0-5-released/
Modder ‘fromsoftserve’ has released version 0.5 of his amazing PC Remaster Mod for the original Demon’s Souls game. To showcase this new version, the modder has also released a new gameplay video that you can find below. So, let’s dive in.
For those who did not know, the Demon’s Souls PC Remaster Project is a mod for the PS3 version of Demon’s Souls that you can play on PC via RPCS3. The mod modifies the game’s models to now react to light sources like wall torches, campfires, etc. It also upgrades armor rendering to use cubemaps.
The modder has also added normal and specular maps for most surfaces. Furthermore, player and object shadows will blend properly with the baked shadows. Not only that, but we get dynamic shadows for objects like spears with banners, crates, and barrels.
Finally, certain models will have a higher polygon count in this mod, like the distant mountains in the first tutorial level, distant mountains in the smithing grounds, and big rocks in the environment in the Shrine of Storms.
In Version 0.5, the Stonefang Tunnel Archstone is nearly finished, and the Shrine of Storms Archstone is also close to completion. Most of the work on the final Boletarian Palace level is done as well. The main work that remains is in the Valley of Defilement and Latria. So, future versions of this mod will mainly focus on them.
All in all, this is a must-have mod for everyone who wants to play Demon’s Souls on PC. If you are one of them, you can go ahead and download it from here.

Red Dead Redemption’s Reality Redemption 4.1 Mod Is Out Now After 2 Years of Development
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/red-dead-redemptions-reality-redemption-4-1-mod-is-out-now-after-2-years-of-development/
Modder ‘BadassBaboon’ has been working on a new version of Reality Redemption and has just released it to the public. So, let’s see what Reality Redemption 4.1 brings to the table.
For those who did not know, Reality Redemption is a graphics mod for Red Dead Redemption. It aims to improve the visual fidelity of the game with better textures, models, and weather cycles, fixing continuity errors, as well as improving its gameplay elements for a more fluid and realistic experience.
Version 4.1 rebuilds the entire project from the ground up. It adds new features such as volumetric clouds, ray-traced global illumination (RTGI), screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO), and more realistic NPC behavior.
The update also improves many existing features. The HD textures now look sharper and cover almost the entire game world.
In addition, the mod upgrades almost every object in the game. All horse textures have been redone with better muscle detail, improved coats, more realistic eyes, and a natural-looking sheen.
Sadly, I could not find any video for this latest version of Reality Redemption. As such, I’ve included a video that compares an older version of it with the vanilla version. This should give you an idea of what the mod achieves. In theory, Version 4.1 should look even better.
