There are people that still actively make mods for Saint's Row 4?

A few of the Volition guys have been working on a proper mod system with Steam Workshop etc. ever since SR4 DLC was finished up. It's just taken a really long time since a.) the engine is not made for PC-style arbitrary loading of loose files so they have to untangle all that and b.) they're literally doing it in their spare time outside of work. It's kind of a weird thing, but bless 'em for doing it.

Apparently the Japanese name for whatever class of raider that was is "Raider Scum". Harsh.

I think that's the name in the English version, too.

Saints Row 4, as previously threatened, now has "proper" mod support.

Volition posted:

There were many challenges in implementing Steam Workshop support since the game was not originally designed to support modding. A handful of dedicated Volition devs worked on this in their free time to update the engine and remove memory restrictions, as well as finding a way for individual mods to interact and work correctly with each other without the need for running special tools. It was all a labor of love for our fans, and we're incredibly excited to see the crazy content you come up with!

Since it's just kicked off, there's not a whole lot of chaos or depravity out yet, but you can already play as a chipped block of wood with a :madmax:

Here's a ROM hack of Final Fantasy 4 that provides a complete machine translation of the Japanese version, for reasons other than "it's just funny".

Although that was probably also a major motivation.

A common question I get is �Why even do this?� The quick summary is that this is just one small, experimental piece of a larger concept I�ve had for years. It also serves as the basis for a lot of things I�ve been wanting to try out for years. Here are some of those things:

I�ve spent the last few years analyzing Final Fantasy IV�s many different official localizations, and even the fan-translated version. While doing this, there�s always a question in the back of my mind: �What if a machine translated the game? How would that compare to each of these versions too?� I�m particularly interested in this question because machine translation has supposedly improved a lot since the last time I played around with it over a decade ago � people even have fancy machine translation apps on their phones these days for translating signs and trying to hold basic conversations!

I�ve spent years researching and writing about how games have been translated, but one thing I�ve never taken a look at is machine translation. It�s something I�d like to learn more about, and this is an interesting way to examine it. I�m already learning a lot of new things, and some of my expectations going in have been shattered! This is also an opportunity for me to see how far off people in my field are from getting replaced by computers 😛

The mod tools for the PC remake of Turok 64 got released, and people have already started doing... things to it.

Someone wanted to prove a point about image formats to someone, so they converted all the graphics in Doom to JPG.

Then someone combined it with a mod that feeds all the sound effects through a blare effect filter, and now nobody's happy.

This is an Amiibo function in the Switch version. Summoning random tat at the press of a figurine is an established Amiibo Thing, separate from the current lootbox stuff going on in PC games.

Morrowind's character models were pretty bad, even at launch. Didn't that Rhedd's Heads mod that was everywhere back in the day use the roughly the same number or less polygons than the official heads?

There is a certain texture in the original Doom that has captured the hearts and minds of the world... so naturally, some folks wrote a mod that replaces every texture with it, destroying stream bitrates the world over.

But FIREBLU can't stay cooped up inside such an old game forever...

Here's something less grodes to cheer you up: Back in the day, Sega's distributor in Brazil would sometimes edit games to appeal more to local audiences. For example, Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap had all the playable characters replaced with characters from a local comic/cartoon, Monica's Gang.

Earlier this year, a French studio released a HD remake of The Dragon's Trap with beautiful hand-drawn animation. They also made absolutely no effort to hide their development tools, which were embedded in their custom game engine.

So some Brazillian fans apparently decided to finish the job, and redrew all of the playable characters (and some of the NPCs) to match the Brazillian release. Which is no mean feat when you consider how many animation frames there are!

Insanely impressive but unfortunately doesn't look that fun to actually play. Would probably be much better if they had condensed the maps about 200%. Super bloat.

Yeah, it's technically impressive, but the level design is pretty bad and it runs like a one-legged dog, even by Rare N64 FPS Standards.
