Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are Brought To The Lands Between By The Elden Ring Mod

Fans understandably had a lot of questions when Nintendo and Game Freak revealed that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet would offer the first totally open environment in the game. How open are we really talking about? There, the mountain. Could I attend?
Even if it had a few flaws, the final product unquestionably fulfilled Nintendo’s promise. For the first time in the 25-year history of Pokémon, the world of Paldea was truly your oyster, and skill level was irrelevant because you could go wherever you chose right now.
A comparison to other important open world games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, has naturally resulted from the evolution of the Pokémon formula. Both games advanced the idea of open-world design, and Elden Ring in particular appears to have been the subject of player-created mods that have improved it even further.
So you can stop wondering if Pokémon Scarlet and Violet would look like using the exclusive game engine developed by FromSoftware. Several essential elements from Scarlet and Violet, including several monsters, the main character’s outfit, and even a Pokémon Center, have been incorporated into an Elden Ring mod by Twitter user @Arestame Arkeid.
Check it out, it’s really crazy stuff:

It’s undoubtedly a convincing mod, and it may even serve as a preview of what future Pokémon games will likely look like. We can dream, after all. The Pokémon Center on the back of a Walking Mausoleum deserves special recognition; Game Freak, take note!
In terms of sales in Japan, Scarlet and Violet have recently surpassed those of Splatoon 3 and are rapidly approaching the 4 million unit mark. Within just three days of going on sale, the new releases sold an astounding 10 million units worldwide. We anticipate seeing even bigger and better things from the franchise in the months and years to come because The Pokémon Company is enjoying a prosperous period.
How do you view this Elden Ring modification? Do you want to ride Koraidon through The Lands Between? Tell us in a comment if you do!

As Disney Speedstorm Ends, Arendelle Hits PS5, PS4

Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.
Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.
The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.
Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.
The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.
This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.
Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.
After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”
This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.

PlayStation planted over 500,000 trees last year

Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.
Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.
Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
