  GoldenEye Maps Recreated Fully in Far Cry 5

  It took Krollywood over two and a half years to finish.
  
  Though I have never used it myself, I have heard that the level editor for Far Cry 5 allows for some rather detailed creations. And while 1997's GoldenEye probably isn't the most detailed of games by today's standards, it's still mighty damn impressive that someone took the time to faithfully recreate the game's 18 maps, minus the two bonus levels.
  
  YouTube creator "Krollywood" spent the better part of the...

  Mysterious Battlefield Teaser Sent to Content Creators

  Huh... 3600 hours isn't a typical military time.
  
  Throughout the day, a handful of Battlefield-adjacent content creators were sent mysterious messages through their Twitter DMs. They were sent from the official Battlefield account to people like Lirik, Jackfrags, Westie, and DustelBox.
  
  On their own their message is disjointed and incomplete. When put together they paint a picture of a fallen nation, or species, caught up in a war they had no choice but to join. It's weird...

Part of the conversation focused on what cuts had to be made to the PlayStation 4 release of Horizon Forbidden West.
