A skilled Pokemon fan artist recently designed some impressive new evolutions for Croagunk’s line, giving the Poison/Fighting hybrid Pokemon a cute baby form and a more fierce-looking final stage. The long-running Pokemon franchise has been a constant source of inspiration for artistic gamers since its conception, with legions of players showing off new versions of classic Pokemon or even creating new ones altogether.
Star Wars Battlefront Collection May Still Be Using Fan-Made Mod

The recently released Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection may still be using a fan mod for its bonus content, as claimed by the person who originally made it. When it was announced that longtime Star Wars PC port developer Asypr was bringing the first two Battlefront games to modern hardware in the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection, fans were excited. This only increased when it was revealed that the collection would also feature the Xbox-exclusive DLC for Star Wars Battlefront 2, which allowed players to take control of Clone Wars-era fan favorites Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto.
However, it was soon discovered that Asypr was seemingly using an old mod to bring Ventress and Fisto to the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. Said mod simply reskinned two existing Star Wars Battlefront 2 heroes as the DLC characters, with Ventress wielding an entirely different weapon as a result. Asypr soon apologized for this, stating that the footage shown in the Battlefront Classic Collection was a placeholder that featured the mod by mistake and that the finished product wouldn't use any code from uncredited sources.
Despite this, original Star Wars Battlefront 2 modder iamashaymin recently came forward with evidence that their DLC mod is still being used in Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. In a pair of Twitter posts (via IGN), iamashaymin pointed out that before it was patched, the Nintendo Switch version of the game featured the same bugs and glitches as their Kit Fisto mod, and a data mine revealed that it was indeed the same files with just the lightsaber attack animations updated. Iamashaymin would later back up their claims with screenshots of Fisto’s Force Orb attack, which is shown to have the same bubble effect as the mod from 2020.
Iamashaymin states that despite theStar Wars Battlefront Classic Collection allegedly using their mod for the Xbox-exclusive Battlefront 2 DLC, they remain uncredited. They say that they never had any issue with Aspyr using their mod, but feel that to do so without giving proper credit to the source is a disservice to players that calls the developer’s credibility into question.
Sure enough, theBattlefront Classic Collection has generated plenty of controversy since it launched earlier this month, mostly surrounding network stability for its online multiplayer, frame rate issues, and an unusually large download size for what is essentially two titles from the mid-2000s being optimized for current hardware. The ongoing dilemma of Asypr still using iamashaymin’s Battlefront 2 mods without giving proper credit is yet more bad press for the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection, which is already seen as one of the most divisive releases of 2024 so far.

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection Review (PS5) | Push Square
When highly regarded games see a remaster, the quality tends to fluctuate between two extremes. You have the disastrous launches akin to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — Definitive Edition, or you get the lovingly crafted, impressive remasters like we saw with Quake and Quake 2. Aspyr has been working its way through the back catalog of classic Star Wars titles from the IP’s gaming golden age, and the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is the latest of such releases. And unfortunately, this re-release is more GTA than Quake.
