Modder demonstrates how the experimental mechanics and weapons from the canceled Half-Life 2: Episode Three workedThe community continues to investigate the recent leak of part of the source code for Valve’s canceled shooter Half-Life 2: Episode Three. One enthusiast demonstrated several mechanics from the mythical game.Danish blogger and modder noahesbjerg published two videos featuring unrealized weapons, a companion drone, and slugs from Half-Life 2: Episode Three. The demonstration was made possible by the aforementioned leak.According to noahesbjerg, he ported the “leaked” Episode Three code into the Source SDK editor, fixed it, and integrated it into Half-Life 2: Episode Two for the demonstration, with some modifications (such as an “ammo” counter for the Weaponizer).YouTube videoThe Weaponizer device was intended to transform environmental elements into projectiles: a mixture of metal and fuel produced a fireball, while a mixture of concrete and water created a “rain” of electrified particles, and so on.In addition, noahesbjerg demonstrated a flanchette launcher (which fires Hunter projectiles), a gluon gun, and a Gauss gun (both of which debuted in Half-Life), as well as a teleportation grenade launcher. These weapons did not have their own models, so existing ones were used.YouTube videoMeanwhile, the companion drone could be upgraded (with improved vision, a shield, and a grenade launcher) and equipped with weapons, while the slug pursued the player, exploded on contact, damaged enemies, and could split into several slugs.It is worth noting that the portion of the Half-Life 2: Episode Three source code revealed in the leak is unrelated to Valve’s current secret project, codenamed hlx, which is presumed to occupy the place of Half-Life 3 in the series’ chronology.If you value what we do, you can support our projects on Boosty.

Pirates Removed Denuvo from Assassin's Creed Mirage — the Game Loads Faster and Runs BetterAlthough the hacker voices38 cracked Denuvo in Ubisoft's open-world action-adventure game Assassin's Creed Mirage back in the spring, it was only now that the game's performance without the controversial protection system could be tested.As a reminder, the pirated version of Assassin's Creed Mirage released by voices38 was not stripped of Denuvo.

The release is described as experimental, as it completely removes the game's protection — both Denuvo and the built-in VMProtect software.Rune's pirated version of Assassin's Creed Mirage has an executable file measuring 102 MBGAME OVER - NEWS

Apple Will Stop Intimidating EU Users with Tracking Consent ScreensAs a result of a years-long investigation conducted by Germany’s Federal Cartel Office and other authorities, Apple has agreed to change the requirements for apps that request users’ consent to tracking. This system, known as App Tracking Transparency (ATT), gave Apple an advantage over third-party apps by displaying unnecessarily intimidating warnings for third-party applications.Apple allows its own apps to use user data from its ecosystem without having to request consent. For third-party apps, however, the company is required to display a warning about potential privacy issues and personal data leaks.
