 Modder praydog has released an updated version of the REFramework tool, which allows for full path tracing in Resident Evil 2 remakes.Resident Evil 3and Resident Evil 4. In Resident Evil 2, path tracing significantly improves the quality of shadows and reflections. Many objects that previously didn't cast shadows now do, and overall lighting is more realistic. The situation with Resident Evil 3 is more complicated. Comparison shots show the original version of the game looking better. The mod's main issue is the lack of shadows in some scenes. This suggests that the path tracing implementation requires further work, but it's unclear whether the author plans to improve it further. Resident Evil 4's results are mixed. Some scenes benefit from the new effects, but others exhibit visual artifacts, such as white dots on stone textures. Users who have already tried the mod recommend not expecting it to work perfectly at this stage, as the project still requires some refineme...

  Resident Evil Requiem hasn't been released yet, but rumors about the next installment in the series are already starting to surface. According to insider Dusk Golem (aka AestheticGamer), who first reported Leon Kennedy's return, Capcom plans to release Resident Evil 10 no earlier than 2029, just three years from now. The gap between RE9 and RE10 (though it probably won't be called that) is a bit shorter than usual (assuming RE10 isn't delayed either, it's currently scheduled for 2029, but in a worst-case scenario it could be delayed to 2030, 2031, depending on the whims of the game's developers), and RE9's DLC has had time to prepare.  The reason for the shorter gap between games this time around, according to Dusk Golem, is that Requiem was originally planned for release in 2025, with the DLC in 2026, to fill the gap between RE9 and the proposed remakes of Code Veronica and Resident Evil 0. However, due to internal delays, the release dates of Resident Ev...

I can't reveal that. However, I can say that we're very happy with his design. We all think h...

  The insider community is once again agitated by a fresh batch of information regarding one of Rockstar Games' most beloved projects. Well-known and often reliable insider NateTheHate2, previously known for his accurate predictions, claims that versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 optimized for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and even the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 already exist.

The mention of the Switch 2 is particularly intriguing. If these rumors are confirmed, it would be the first serious ...

MKDEV noted that the hack has been thoroughly tested and is now stable. Unlike the alternative crack for version 1.04, which uses a hypervisor, this hack does not use the kernel driver. Meanwhile, development of the hypervisor-based hack for version 1.04 continues—a bug that caused a blue screen has been fixed. However, the hypervisor-based hack currently only works on AMD processors. MKDEV also shared some interesting details: they claimed that hacking via the hypervisor took only two days and was "10,000 times easier" than manually hacking version 1.03b. This opens up enormous potential for hacking other Denuvo games—if MKDEV decides to pursue it, of course. In any case, MKDEV's hypervisor code is publicly available, and it's likely that if not MKDEV, then others will decide to try cracking Denu...
