A modder whose work was reportedly used in Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection without their permission has panned the release of the game, calling it “a total mess”. Speaking to IGN, modder iamashaymin said, “The fact they had to release patches both before and immediately after releasing two decade old games really says it all. Especially considering part of the patches is rumoured to have removed content they had already said was removed months ago.” The latter half of that quote refers to the accusation that…

It's no secret that Apple is slowly transitioning away from the Lightning connector and embracing USB-C after the European Union forced its hand. While many accessories, the iPad and even the iPhone now use USB-C, the AirPods Max are still mired in Lightning land. However, engineer Ken Pillonel (who previously brought USB-C to the iPhone and AirPods before Apple did) has created a USB-C connector for the headphones.Pillonel found that it was easy to knock out the Lightning connector AND leave a perfectly sized hole for a…

I’m highly skeptical of remasters and remakes. They tend to either feel underwhelming or, worse, to actually do a competent job that ends up replacing the beautiful memories we had of the original. I didn’t have either problem with the new Tomb Raider Remastered. Originally, I thought that was just because the game gave me the chance to pick between a respectfully improved version of the old, and a beautiful new vision for the classic, but there was more to it than just that. Now I have the full picture. It turns out…

First off, my apologies for reminding you that you’re probably missing Elden Ring a lot right about now. Even though I sadly don’t bring you news regarding the upcoming DLC, I think you’d like to know that Twitter user twistedgwazi modded Elden Ring to turn one of the great dragon Placidusax’s attacks into the most spectacular explosion I’ve ever seen in a game. Consider putting on your sunglasses before witnessing what lies below — even if just to look cool: That’s not even a cutscene. That thing is happening in…

Trainwiz, the modder behind several infamous Thomas the Tank Engine mods for Bethesda games, has announced his own roleplaying game (RPG) titled Underspace. Underspace is described as the spiritual successor to the 2003 space simulator Freelancer, and is a deep space role-playing game in a “Lovecraftian setting”. The game will feature a full single player campaign with side quests, player vs player combat (PvP) and a full main story mode. The official Steam page shows a blend of sci-fi and cosmic horror, and features…

Nintendo has finally come for Palworld... in the form of issuing a takedown for a video of a mod that swapped all the Palworld pals for pokémon. Lol. Days after Palworld’s early access launch and cosmic-level popularity explosion, YouTube creator ToastedShoes posted a short video on X (formerly Twitter) teasing his Pokémon Palworld mod. “Palworld already has a Pokémon mod,” ToastedShoes wrote on X. His claim was a bit misleading: according to Palworld developer Pocket Pair, the game doesn’t yet support mods, but there are…

It’s been a weird trajectory for Starfield. It went from being the most anticipated game of this generation to boring the pants off players to winning a Steam Award (though some are curious as to how that came to be). In any case, it hasn’t quite gone away yet, and the modding community is still engaging with it. One such example comes from user Korodic, who’s attempting to put something into Starfield that Bethesda never did. It’s mechs. I’m talking about being able to control giant mechs. To be honest, the title…

Ever the versatile games, the first two Doom entries are staples of the dedicated mod community. With the original being crossed over with Doctor Who, it seems mixing franchises is not off the table for the plucky FPS. That also includes other titles from id Software. Coming from ModDB user DASniperIC, their recent Doom 2 mod is a recreation of 1992’s Wolfenstein 3D. Using the former’s engine, they’ve been able to do a faithful reconstruction of the latter. While it doesn’t look much different given that they’re both…

A demo is out now It seems almost impossible at this stage for there to ever be a third Half-Life game. It’s just been so long, and chances are that a threequel would struggle to live up to the hype. However, there are still new ways to get your Gordon Freeman kicks. For example, modder PinkyDev is working on a modification that turns Valve’s iconic FPS into a roguelike shooter. Called Codename: Loop, the demo for the project has just been released, so you can try it out before it releases fully. There’s also a…

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched to strong reviews last week, but fans and critics have given the game's PC version a thumbs down for its technical issues. Now, modder PureDark has crafted their own take on Nvidia's DLSS functionality, and it doubled the game's frame rate from 45 to 90fps, showing what the game might look like when it has better PC performance via an official update. To be clear, this mod is far from an official implementation of DLSS, and it's not publicly available at the…
