Capcom wary of ‘reputational damage’ from mods, equating them to cheats

If you like to make or download mods for games likeResident EvilorMonster Hunter, it seems that Capcom doesn’t share your enthusiasm. In fact, when it comes to anti-cheat and anti-piracy measures, Capcom seems to believe mods should be “defined as cheats.” That’s according to a recent presentation on the Capcom R&D YouTube channel (thanks,GamesRadar).

Destructoid’s award for Best PlayStation Game of 2021 goes to…

Resident Evil Village Some games feel like they’re worth playing through once, and only once. They might be riveting in an all-consuming way the first time through, but they can carry so much emotional weight, or nerve-fraying tension, or such high stakes that I just can’t imagine going back anytime soon, if ever.

For those about to ROCK, check this list and see if your guitars will work first

Instrument compatibility has been a bit of a sticking point between theRock BandandGuitar Herofranchises, with last year’s plastic guitars being incompatible with their competing product on all consoles except the 360.
