IGN.com - News Edit Unfollow Tekken Modder Adds Elden Ring Characters and the Director Says 'Plz Stop It' by Ryan Leston Mar 31, 2022 A new mod for Tekken 7 has added Elden Ring fan favorites to the roster, but Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada has mixed feelings about it. Created by Ultraboy, the Elden Ring Modpack replaces several standard Tekken fighters with a variety of Elden Ring characters – including Melina, Ranni, and our favorite Pot Boy, Alexander. A video of the impressive mod has already gone viral, showcasing just how detailed the characters appear in the game.

But Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada isn’t quite so impressed. “Um... Sure, Elden is a Bandai Namco-funded title, and I was the production general manager in charge of Elden, so it's not irrelevant ... it's ridiculously well-made mod but plz stop it lol,” he said via Twitter. When asked if he meant to stop the mod or stop telling him about it, he replied that a lot of people are assuming the mod is official. “U probably don't know, but there r surprisingly many ppl who think this is official one or make various misunderstandings & contact us,” he said. “I DON'T say anything for ur personal enjoyment, but I want u to know that there r ppl in ur community who make noise based on misunderstandings.” So, if you do happen to be playing this wildly-unofficial Tekken mod, just don’t tell Katsuhiro Harada about it. The mod itself replaces Tekken characters for its Elden Ring counterparts. For example, Melina replaces Lidia, Malenia replaces Kunimitsu, and Ranni the Witch replaces Kazumi. Hilariously, a big old lobster replaces Heihachi, while Alexander the Iron Fist (or Pot Boy to his pals) replaces Gigas. Elden Ring has already seen its fair share of mods itself, with modders adding a new easy mode for those of us who aren’t used to the relentless slog of a Souls-like. Meanwhile, a hidden pause function has been found in the game which doesn’t require a mod. Want to read more about Elden Ring?

Continue Reading Call of Duty Player Tries to Prove He's Not Hacking... and Accidentally Proves He's Hacking by Ryan Leston Mar 31, 2022 Call of Duty: Vanguard semi-pro Kenji has been caught using hacks live on stream, thanks to his own monitor cam… which he was using to try and prove he wasn’t hacking. According to Dexerto, the player was caught out during a 2v2 tournament where he faced iLuhvly and Sasuke who became suspicious of his actions. Attempting to clear his name after being accused of using wallhacks, Kenji used a monitor cam to showcase his ‘legitimate’ gameplay – but accidentally exposed himself as a cheater in the process. GG's Kenji CAUGHT 4K BOXES ON HIS MONITOR CAM! thanks to @iLuhvly the hacker detective and @CallenDisplay! #HACKERDOWN #4K pic.twitter.com/GSfef7SShH — 🩸$asuk£🩸 (@ImSasukee) March 29, 2022 A wallhack allows players to see enemy players’ positions through walls. As you can see in the video above, Kenji’s screen shows boxes highlighting other players' positions, which he had presumably forgotten to turn off when he began streaming his monitor cam. That said, it didn’t seem to help him much – Kenji still lost the final gunfight. Since accidentally outing himself, Dexerto reports that Kenji has been banned from Checkmate Gaming, the tournament platform he was competing in. He has also since deleted his Twitch account. Hacking has become a big problem in Call of Duty of late, especially when it comes to Warzone. However, a new anti-cheat measure in the Battle Royale now gives players a “damage shield” when up against cheaters. “One mitigation technique we’ve been testing is something we call Damage Shield,” it was revealed on the official Warzone blog. "When the server detects a cheater is tampering with the game in real-time, it disables the cheater’s ability to inflict critical damage on other players. This mitigation leaves the cheater vulnerable to real players and allows #TeamRICOCHET to collect information about a cheater’s system.” However, cheating isn’t just restricted to the Battle Royale. Call of Duty: Vanguard has seen an increase in hackers, with developer Activision Blizzard suggesting that those caught cheating could be banned from future Call of Duty games as well as those in which they’re caught. “Permanent suspensions for security infractions may now apply franchise-wide, including Call of Duty: Vanguard as well as any past, present, and future titles in the Call of Duty franchise,” they said. Even the Call of Duty: Vanguard beta suffered from problems with hackers.
