'I'm Still Beyond Confused Why They Didn't Go the Cyberpunk Route' — Crimson Desert Female Character Creator Mod Lets Players Unshackle Themselves From Premade Kliff

Image
One of the major criticisms of Crimson Desert I’ve seen since launch is that it does not let you create your own character. Instead, you’re locked into playing as Kliff, who himself has been criticized for a lack of personality, and two other even less fleshed out playable characters. Well, now, like so many other things with Pearl Abyss’ open world action adventure, there’s a mod for that. The simply titled Character Creator - Female mod , from Khione95, lets you build your own character by using the barber function in the game. It includes 98 face presets and 159 hair styles. A male version of the mod should be out soon. With this mod installed, you’re able to play Crimson Desert as a custom female character using the female human preset. Most armors have been adjusted to fit the female body, and planned features include more customization options, more customizable races (orc and goblin are in the works), and a full suite of female animations. This can be used in combination...

Elden Ring Dataminer Uncovers Unused Cutscene That May Shed New Light on the Lore

Image
A dataminer has uncovered what they believe is a pivotal but unused cutscene hidden in Elden Ring's files — and it could shed new light on the game's lore. Lance McDonald, a content creator and dataminer famed for his behind-the-scenes work on the likes of P.T. , Bloodborne , and Elden Ring, has discovered a secret scene thought to have been cut from the final version of the game. Warning! Spoilers for Elden Ring follow: "This is a look at a never-before-seen map file where a cutscene was filmed for Elden Ring, which showed Miquella planting the Haligtree, as well as the process through which, during earlier development and testing, this cutscene was intended to have been played," McDonald explained in the video description. "Finally, the similarly never-before-seen cutscene itself is shown." McDonald believes that not only has he discovered a cutscene showing Miquella planting a Haligtree, but he thinks he has the matching "unused lines of sp...

A Decade on, Plants vs Zombies 3 Has Now Soft Launched For at Least the Third Time

Image
Plants vs Zombies 3 has been soft launched yet again in certain countries around the world, as part of the troubled threequel's latest attempt to take root. This is at least the third time that developer PopCap has attempted to release a game titled Plants vs Zombies 3 — with this latest iteration focused on new gameplay that allows players to merge different plant species. It also arrives with a shiny new subtitle: Plants vs Zombies 3: Evolved. Today, Evolved is now available to download on iPhone and Android devices in Ireland and the Philippines, before a wider rollout beginning in the UK and Singapore over the next couple of months. Plants vs Zombies 3: Evolved is the product of a decade of development, with work beginning back in 2016 on ideas for a third major PvZ game . That work resulted in multiple false starts, as developers initially flirted with the introduction of 3D graphics and various other gameplay changes that were later scrapped. After an initial version ...

'Dad, This Makes Me Want to Play KSP!' — 11-Year-Old Kerbal Space Program Gets Player Boost Amid Artemis II's Mission to the Moon

Image
Space simulator Kerbal Space Program has seen a resurgence as players celebrate the launch of the world's first manned mission to the Moon, Artemis II, in decades. The Artemis II crew are heading home after travelling further from Earth than anyone before, with a splashdown back on Earth scheduled for April 10. This mission is a giant step toward a return to the moon and future missions to Mars, and it also marks the first time humanity has flown to the Moon in over 50 years. It has also seemingly reignited our fascination with space, with thousands of players jumping into the 11-year-old simulator game, Kerbal Space Program. While it usually bobs around on a very respectable 3-4,000 peak concurrent players on Steam, since Artemis II's launch, SteamDB has recorded an unusually high concurrent peak of 11,390 players in the last 24 hours. While that doesn't quite match its launch record — that sits at 19,149 players — it's impressive nonetheless, particularly coup...

'No Zombie Deer' — State of Decay 3 2020 Announcement Trailer Was 'A Concept,' Dev Says, Made at a Time When the Game Was Only 'In a Word Document'

Image
State of Decay 3 was announced back in 2020 with an eye-catching debut trailer that showed a zombie deer eating the remains of a wolf. It got fans of the survival series excited that they would not only have to context with your typical zombie menace when the game eventually came out, but zombie animals, too. Unfortunately, State of Decay 3 will launch without zombie animals of any kind, and that trailer was little more than a “concept” built at a time when there was essentially no game to speak of. Six years after State of Decay 3’s announcement, developer Undead Labs is readying the game for an alpha test. It is finally ready, then, for the public to give it a shot, having come a long way since that trailer helped get Xbox fans for the upcoming Xbox Series X and S. So what happened to those zombie animals, then? In an interview with Sunny Games , Head of Undead Labs, Philip Holt, said that as the developers got to work making State of Decay 3 a reality, they realized some thing...

‘We Moved Away From That Baby Face’ — Overwatch Reveals Updated Look For Anran Following Fan Backlash

Image
Overwatch has unveiled an updated look for one of its newest heroes, Anran, following criticism of how her face previously looked in-game. The redesign has happened following an initial backlash from the community and the voice actor who portrays the fire fan-wielding damage dealer, Fareeha, who claimed that “this was a hill worth dying on” after it was suggested that Anran was yet another victim of Overwatch’s “Same Face Syndrome”. This syndrome is the suggestion that many of the female heroes in Overwatch suffer from the fact that they all have basically the exact same facial features, whether that be the Swedish Brigitte, British Tracer, Japanese Kiriko, Martian Juno, or, up until now, Chinese Anran. Back in February, Blizzard revealed that plans were underway for a rethink when it came to Anran’s appearance, stating that “we agree that she can be even better”. Well, now we’ve finally got a look at the result of those tweaks. In a video posted on Overwatch’s social media, g...
