The Witcher 3 Better FX Mod

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a beautiful game, with the world that developer CD Project RED designed being nothing short of stunning. However, despite the game being a few years old now, that hasn’t stopped some determined modders from making the game as gorgeous as possible. Now, one mod has received a new update that makes the game look even better.

This mod is called Better FX, which can be checked out over on NexusMods. The update does basically what you would expect it to do, which is to make various aspects of the game look better. This is accomplished by increasing the particles (count/density) for the following:

“embers
sparks and fire dust
the amount of smoke
spume/splash (some specific, not all)
rain
fog
snow
toxic gas
bombs
ALL enemies (f.e. gryphon, lessun, fogling 😉 )
Signs: Igni, Yrden, Quen, Axii
smoke/fire for all cutscenes and quests”

Along with the aforementioned improvements, it has also been revealed that the Igni Cone is now visually closer to how it was in the E3 version. Many games get changed or downgraded following their impressive E3 reveal, and this fix is attempting to provide that original version in-game. They also added a new smoke shader to the “burning/frozen village” cutscene to make it look more like the one from the VGX trailer.

New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.

Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.

Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.

Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.

In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.

When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.

More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.

Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.

Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.

The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
