| Overwolf invests in an AI-driven anti-cyberbully app Posted: 25 Jan 2022 03:54 PM PST  Overwolf keeps a robust lineup of in-game apps offering a range of functionality to add to your favourite games. (Hey, you should check out the PCGN Overwolf app while you're here.) Now the folks behind Overwolf are investing in Kidas, a company developing an AI-driven app to help prevent cyberbullying in multiplayer games. "This partnership perfectly aligns to Overwolf's stance on responsible gameplay and supports our core values of gaming safe and with integrity," Overwolf's VP of business development says in a statement to VentureBeat. Kidas's app supports about 120 games, and Overwolf plans to expand that to the 9,000 games in its own library. As the devs explain on the official site, "Kidas is a tool to help you identify and address any dangerous situations that your child may encounter while interacting with others in video games, from cyberbullying to predatory behavior. Kidas analyzes your child's gaming activity and in-game communication to alert you of any potentially concerning situations."

| Resident Evil 4 HD remaster mod launches next week, and there’s a new trailer Posted: 25 Jan 2022 02:59 PM PST  An ambitious mod that remasters Resident Evil 4 in high definition launches February 2, and to celebrate, the modders behind the project have cut together a brand new trailer showing off all the work they've put into the project. So grab a handful of green herbs and settle in to watch five minutes of Leon Kennedy and company looking crisper than ever. By the modders' count, they've put in more than a combined 12,000 hours on the Resident Evil 4 HD remaster mod over the course of seven years, spending something on the order of $15,440 USD on it. This has included travelling to some of the same locations Capcom used for photography reference materials for textures, 'correcting' some texture mapping and 3D modelling issues, and even creating new 3D assets to replace 2D assets used in the original Resident Evil 4. However, as you can see in the trailer below, the goal has been to stay true to the original game's look and style, and it seems they've had a lot of success - even in the way they've managed to update the original UI elements for HD screen resolutions.

| Dying Light 2’s post-launch roadmap confirms multiple paid story expansions Posted: 25 Jan 2022 01:55 PM PST  There's a new roadmap available for Techland's plans for Dying Light 2, and it includes multiple 'story DLCs,' at least one of which is planned for later this year. Additionally, the developer says it plans to add challenges and limited time events "for at least five years" after the Dying Light 2 release date, which is right around the corner. The rough roadmap published today includes ballpark estimates for when we can expect post-launch Dying Light 2 content to arrive. In February, shortly after the game launches, we'll see "factions-inspired free DLCs," which appear to be new costumes for players who want some extra drip. In March, an initial set of challenges will arrive, which likely will include creative enemy disposal methods and sick parkour trick chains. In April, something called "a series of events" is slated to begin, and that's going to involve special "mutated infected" - the shambling, formerly human monsters walking the streets are likely to get quite a bit more dangerous when that starts up. A second set of challenges is due in early May. RELATED LINKS: Dying Light 2 release date, Dying Light 2 factions, Dying Light 2 trailer reveal |
| Crusader Kings 3’s next update adds an option for same-sex marriages Posted: 25 Jan 2022 12:35 PM PST  One of Crusader Kings III's most-requested features will be arriving with update 1.5, alongside the Royal Court DLC. Same-sex marriages, which up till now have only been possible by using mods, will be added via a new custom rule in the grand strategy game's menu. Due to how Crusader Kings III's game logic works, and all the rules in place about feudal marriage and succession, this wound up being a complicated addition to the game, but it's finally arriving with the next free update. Currently, you have the option at the outset of a Crusader Kings III campaign to set custom rules for same-sex relations: by default, each culture has a specific view on same-sex relationships - usually, a negative one. However, you can change things so that all faiths in the game accept same-sex relations, which allows you to pursue those throughout the campaign. However, you currently need mods to make these relationships official. With update 1.5, a new game rule can be adjusted so that same-sex marriages are possible without any mods.
