A modder known as RAW is developing an unofficial 3D remake of Capcom's action game Dino Crisis 2, transforming the original 2000 title into a modern third-person shooter. The original adventure of Regina and Dylan discarded traditional three-dimensional environments in favor of prerendered backgrounds to increase enemy counts and maintain stable performance.

This ambitious project requires rebuilding the entire experience from scratch to replace the classic fixed camera setup with modern gameplay mechanics. Although the development remains in very early stages, a preliminary video showcases provisional graphics without textures alongside intense combat sequences against raptors.

'I Feel Like Modding is Kind Of Dying' – Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Modder on AI's Impact on the Scene

Over the past few months, there's been a sort of explosion of AI in the modding scene. Whether it's mashup mods on Twitter or full decompilation done by Claude, AI is everywhere in the mod…

AI summary — the full article is at the publisher

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence in the modding scene is generating an overwhelming wave of low-effort content that threatens the hobby, according to ME3Tweaks developer Mgamerz. In an interview discussing a new Mass Effect Legendary Edition multiplayer mod, the creator noted that tools like Claude make game decompilation remarkably easy.

While advanced AI streamlines development, it removes the traditional technical filter that once kept low-quality projects in check. This shift creates a saturated environment comparable to the challenges faced on storefronts like the Switch eShop.

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence are transforming video game development by drastically reducing the time required to decompile older titles. This technological shift has triggered a surge in copyright infringement cases, prompting major platforms to implement emergency restrictions against AI-driven code extraction. Over the past month, Epic Games and Microsoft have issued multiple DMCA takedown notices targeting browser-based versions of popular franchises like Fortnite, Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Halo.

Renowned indie games including Slay the Spire 2, Celeste, and RimWorld have similarly fallen victim to unauthorized AI decompilation hosted on platforms like GitHub. Meanwhile, industry scrutiny intensifies regarding data sourcing practices, highlighted by Anthropic facing a 1.5 billion dollar penalty for utilizing pirated training material from BitTorrent.

The long-lost and mysterious Portal prequel known as F-Stop has finally become fully playable following major source code leaks and dedicated preservation work by community modders. Initially remaining an unreleased concept for years, the project gained minor attention back in 2020 when semi-official materials showcased mechanics that bear a striking resemblance to Superliminal.

With these recent asset leaks now circulating online, enthusiasts of the Portal and Half-Life franchises can experience the surviving foundations of this cancelled puzzle game firsthand. The unearthed build provides a rare glimpse into Valve's historical development pipeline and a concept that was previously locked away as an industry legend. Modding groups have integrated the recovered files to ensure that what remains of the title functions correctly for interested players.
