Resident Evil 3 x Fall Guys

PC gaming is great and every now and then a game spawns a modding community that really goes above and beyond. The best example of this is Resident Evil 3, that had mods and a free camera on the demos release. It shows a level of dedication I had not seen before. 

A few days ago modder XxCRAZYPOTATOxX released his Jilly Bean Mod Pack. Which puts fall guys style bean costumes on Jill, Carlos and Nemesis

As you can see by the mods page it has 147 unique downloads but only 3 endorsements, which shows you what a thankless task being a modder is. If you download it show some love and endorse it at least.

The Last of Us Part 2: Lunargames



The Last of Us Part 2 has moved many. Most seem to adore it, some hate it but I think anything creative that causes a mix of opinion is good. It means boundaries are being pushed and perhaps expectations changed. 


The beauty of art and creativity is it is a different experience for everyone. Despite seeing many showcases of The Last of Us, here Lunargames shows us the game through her own eyes. 


Lunar's use of colour and setting is consistent across all of her virtual photography. Bold and beautiful, her work pops and is pleasing to the eye.She has a wonderful range of games across her profile and will try her hand shooting any game with or without a photo mode. Like all true creatives this challenge promotes growth in her skill set and she is flourishing.

Battlefield V: p0nsy_gc


p0nsy may only have been active on Instagram in his VP account since April but within that short space of time he has shown that he is as diverse as he is enthusiastic. 


His ability to capture wonderful shots even from games without a photo mode such as Battlefield V, immediately perked my interest. Not only does p0nsy do this well, but is proof that you do not need a solid photo mode to be creative and take pictures within a game you love and adore. 


The mood, energy and colour captured are brilliant and I implore you to give him a follow. If like me perhaps you wear thin of the constant barrage of certain photo mode games eating up your feed, p0nsy's work makes for a welcome and beautiful change of pace.

Warframe Play it For Free Forever


Warframe: PC - Shot by VPVibrancy

Lately on Instagram I have been seeing a lot of negativity in the community, which is understandable given the worlds current circumstances. I am seeing a lot of comments about a lack of variation in peoples, feeds, boredom and that people are in a rut with no new games. 

Today I am going to throw out the suggestion of trying out Warframe. It is free to play on PC, Xbox and PS4. It has a delightful captura mode that gives you settings to shoot your character, scanned villains and friends in. That's right, your friends!  What other game allows you to pause the game play and all zoom around taking shots.

Not only can the game can be played from start to finish with your first weapons and Warframe, but the story is vast and expansive. I didn't even get to the end of the story missions until I was around 120 hours in. 


Also, In a recent earnings report (via Gamespot), Leyou Technology - parent company of Warframe developer Digital Extremes - revealed that the company is planning to "expand Warframe to more platforms, such as the next-generation consoles and other devices".  Showcasing that any progress you make on your PS4 or XboxOne will be carried over to the next gen consoles via your gamertag login.

Warframe
has been going since 2013 and with each update brings with it mind blowing amounts of free content. The latest introducing ship to ship battles. Previous instalments added larger more MMO areas which hold unique activities and offer custom gear building as well as new types of equipment and weaponry.

For those that haven't heard of the game before, you play the role of a Tenno, an ancient race of warriors, who must explore various planets and moons within the solar system to purge evil and uncover the long lost secrets of the race.

At first the game can seem overwhelming with the huge depth of customisation. But if you take it one step at a time you catch up as you need to. Across all platforms it is still very popular, its free and sits somewhere around 44gb. 


If you're bored and fed up this lock down, give it a try.

A Demo With Photo Mode


Recently I downloaded Code Vein hoping to trial the photo mode. Half way through the demo I realised that it did not have one. A lot of games in this day and age do not have demos, let alone one that trials the games photo mode. I am not sure why, as we all know, photo mode makes for a great free advertising campaign. 

Bound by Wolfwithashield

recently started playing Bound (A PS4 exclusive) and uploaded some shots yesterday, which reminded me of the fun I had with the photo mode within it's short demo. The demo itself is not very long but showcases the games visual style, constant ballet action and unique dream-like quality perfectly.

If you fancy trying something new or just getting a few experimental shots off then I would highly recommend the demo. I bought the game soon after as it was on sale (and often is) but just the demo alone will be enough to showcase a few great virtual photography shots and mix things up a bit.

If you are a PC owner I can also tell you that the new Resident Evil 3 demo not only has an injectable free cam, but also a huge amount of fan made mods. Possibly the most for any demo ever made. I have showcased and linked a bunch of them below. The time and energy the modding community put in the games is amazing. Resident Evil 2's mods made my game play experience stretch to a sweet 55 hours. Playing around with costumes, taking shots with the free camera and pushing myself to try some crazy hard challenges.


Not being able to play the game on release due to a lack of income, I have taken to embracing the demo with all of its mods. These shots are not edited, as to show you a true representation of the demos look. For fancier shots, check out my Instagram page. There are many mods beyond these, I just showcased some of my favourites. Browse Nexus Mods for more.
