Silent Hill 4: The Room may not be as outdated as the previous entries in the series, but having been released almost 20 years ago, it would definitely do with a visual overhaul.
Fan-Made Fallout 5 Map Imagines Possible New Orleans Setting

Afan created a detailed map for a hypothetical Fallout game set in New Orleans. The map is so interesting and varied that some fans think the Big Easy would be a perfect location for a future Fallout title.
Fallout 5 is still without a release date or official reveal, and seeing that Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6 will come first, Fallout 5 is likely still a long way away. However, that hasn't stopped Fallout fans from daydreaming about what Fallout 5's location might be. Recently, one fan explained why New Orleans would make for a perfect Falloutsetting, and another fan, possibly drawing inspiration from the other, created a detailed map that shows what a Fallout game set in New Orleans might look like.
Reddit user omega-lf posted a mockup of a New Orleans-based Fallout map. Along with the map, the user provided some fan-made lore for the post-apocalyptic city. They explained that although New Orleans was not hit directly by nuclear weapons, radioactive hurricanes caused its levees to break, flooding significant portions of the city. Some historical areas, like the French Quarter, are still above water. The countryside surrounding the city is hostile with human communities peppered throughout it. A network of small rivers allows the user to traverse the map's rural, swampy regions, while larger rivers cut across the whole map. In the post's comments section, the Fallout fan offered plenty more lore regarding the region's factions, enemies, history, and more.
Many fans were impressed by the creation and voiced their support that New Orleans would make for a great Fallout location. However, others worried that the map featured too much water, which is usually a useless facet of Fallout games. But, to be fair to omega-lf, they explained that the water could be utilized for travel purposes, something that Bethesda could probably manage following some of the impressive features seen in Starfield.
New Orleans is one of the more unique cities in the United States, earning its spot as a location in other popular games like Red Dead Redemption 2. Its combination of French, Southern, and Caribbean influences creates a unique atmosphere that could be utilized in many ways within a future Fallout game.
Although fans are probably disappointed that the series' next entry is still a long way out, they still have good reason to be excited for 2024, especially after Todd Howard compared this year's Fallout show toFallout 5. He claimed that the show is so well-made and respectful to its source material that it could have been a Fallout game all on its own.
Fallout is a post-apocalyptic RPG franchise created by Interplay Entertainment and developed by Black Isle Studios, before Bethesda Softworks took over

Fan-made Bloodborne Kart catches heat from Sony, forcing developers to shift gears
We were so close to finally drifting on the cobblestone streets of Yharnam, but it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer for Bloodborne Kart. And, it’ll be called something else when it does arrive. Lilith Walther, the developer behind the project, said the team has to “scrub the branding” off of the game and delay its release after Sony intervened. It was supposed to be released on January 31 for PC. The outcome isn’t exactly surprising, but it means the game will take shape a bit differently than planned — in a thread posted on X, Walther said, “This is a fan game no more!”

Fan-made Bloodborne Kart Game Is Getting Delayed
Due to an issue with its branding, the developers of the fan-made Bloodborne Kart announced that the demake-styled kart racer will be delayed to an unknown release date. Back in 2022, independent developer FanSoftware created a PS1-style demake of FromSoftware's Bloodborne. It had aimed to turn the gothic PS4 Soulslike adventure into a game that would fit the more limited capabilities of the original PlayStation. After this demake was released, the developers revealed they were working on a game that is usually considered a running joke in the fandom, Bloodborne Kart.

A faithful, fan-made restoration of the Super Metroid OST is coming to vinyl
The soundtrack for Super Metroid on the SNES is one of the greats in gaming music, but you didn’t need me to tell you that. Composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano, Super Metroid’s score is at times eerie or triumphant, and it’s full of memorable tracks to accompany Samus on a journey to defeat Ridley and other bosses who stand in her way of saving the galaxy. It’s good.
