Diablo 4 developers Blizzard has banned the use of the mod TurboHUD 4. While it did improve the quality of gameplay in Diablo 3, the developers were not really in favor of it even back then. However, for some reason, they did not remove the mod in Diablo 3. Soon after TurboHUD 4 was announced for the game (Reddit), Blizzard released a notice regarding the unauthorized mod software, and players who might have hoped to use it might be in for some disappointment.

“We are committed to keeping the world of Sanctuary a safe and fair place for all players, and our Game Security team constantly monitors for cheats and unauthorized modifications.” TurboHUD 4 or THUD4 violates the Blizzard EULA that every Diablo IV player signs at the beginning of the game.

Diablo 4 Players will get Permanent Ban for Using TurboHUD 4

In Blizzard’s Notice, they clearly mentioned “With that in mind, we want to make it clear that TurboHUD4, like any game-modifying software, is prohibited for use with Diablo IV. Players who install this kind of software will put their accounts at risk for disciplinary action, which can include permanent suspension.” While a small punishment might also be handed out at the start, Diablo 4 players using the TurboHUD 4 mod are ultimately heading towards a permanent ban on their accounts.

THUD4 provides numerous features that fans have been expecting from Blizzard for Diablo 4 so some players might choose to risk the ban and try out the software. After the New Content in Season 1 along with the nerfs and buffs, many Diablo players are ready to risk the ban and get some additional features.

That’s all we have on Diablo 4 TurboHUD 4. If you are playing Diablo 4, do check out our dedicated section if you need some important guides for the game. We have covered more exciting News on our dedicated section and you can check them out while you are here at Gamer Tweak.

One of the latest trending videos going around the internet is the Skibidi Toilet. These creepy singing toilet creatures are insanely popular amongst Generation Alpha (those born after 2010). The most astonishing fact is that almost every video in the series has racked up close to 100 million views on YouTube. So, what exactly are these videos all about? Is there a hidden story that casual viewers are missing out on? Our guide below will answer all your doubts about the Skibidi Toilet video series.

What is the Skibidi Toilet Trend?

Skibidi Toilet is a series of animated YouTube videos showing an army of toilets trying to take over the world. To stop them, you have men with suits that have cameras instead of heads. Known as CameraHeads, they are the last surviving group of humans. The rest were either infected by the toilet creatures or killed. Though there is no definite plot in the Skibidi Toilet YouTube series, viewers are still attracted to its wacky visuals and catchy music. The creator of the series, YouTuber DaFuqBoom has used the source engine from games like Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. If you were unaware of this trending video up until now, then that is perfectly normal. This is because Skibidi Toilet’s target audience is quite different than you expect.

Why is it so Popular on YouTube?

The Skibidi Toilet video series is primarily consumed by children. So, the bulk of viewers are kids themselves. DaFuqBoom has managed to attract over 22 million subscribers and close to 9 billion total views on his YouTube channel since February 2023. All thanks to its rising popularity, there are over 50 episodes of the series to date. These videos are usually between 30 seconds to a couple of minutes in length. Since the animated videos are not that long, they are best optimized for YouTube Shorts. This explains the outrageous view counts on most videos on DaFuqBoom’s channel.

That’s everything you need to know about the Skibidi Toilet videos trend. We hope that this article helped clear your doubts. For more entertaining content and the latest viral updates, visit our News section on Gamer Tweak.

Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm have released a new trailer for the fighting game Mortal Kombat 1 which confirms the presence of Geras’ playable characters in the roster. Check out the complete details below with the new trailer of MK 1.

Mortal Kombat 1 Adds Geras as Playable Character, Trailer Shows

A new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 introduces the character of Geras, who will be available in the fighting game roster from launch. Warner Bros and NetherRealm thus introduce another fighter, approaching its September 19 debut.

This trailer focuses on two characters: on the one hand Liu Kang, who was the protagonist of the very first Mortal Kombat, before being assassinated. On the other hand, it is Geras, guardian of time and protector of the Hourglass, the artifact that regulates the flow of time.

The trailer, entitled “Keepers of Time”, also shows us Geras in his new version designed for the graphic style of this semi-reboot of the series. The character is well recognizable, even if his model and his clothing have some variations.

In the trailer, cutscenes and actual gameplay scenes follow one another, created with the Mortal Kombat 1 engine. The dialogue with Liu Kang about the reconstruction of a timeline to eliminate some characters also introduces some plot elements.

The video shows Lui Kang’s “old friend” in action with his fists and hints at an ominous outcome for the Fire God’s new world order. As Lui Kang himself explains, “Geras is the guardian of the hourglass, a celestial object which lies beyond the realms. The hourglass regulates time and destiny.”

“I have watched you with the hourglass,” Geras tells Lui Kang. “You are relishing your role as Earthrealm’s protector. When you restarted history, you altered the destinies of certain malefactors to neutralize them. Your vision of peace may already be compromised.”

Mortal Kombat 1 will be released on September 19 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. At San Diego Comic-Con, the team revealed the Kombat Pack roster, which will include Peacemaker and Homelander, among others. Check out the trailer below.

A well-known Pokemon Masters EX dataminer may have revealed the date of the new Pokemon Presents for August yesterday, and now it seems another confirmation also arrived for the same event. The Twitter user CentroLeaks, thanks to the datamine of the latest Pokémon Masters EX update, managed to find the alleged Pokémon Presents event that will be broadcast in August. Check out all the information below.

Pokemon Presents Leaked for August 2023

Pokemon fans are always waiting for the announcement of a showcase dedicated to their favorite series: a Pokemon Presents, in fact. The last of these conferences was held several months ago, in February, but, according to a leak that has been spreading like wildfire in the last few hours, there wouldn’t be much longer to wait.

We report an indiscretion released by the Twitter account CentroLeaks, the dataminer who discovered some interesting hidden data inside Pokémon Masters EX, the Gamefreak mobile game that could be the great protagonist of the event together with other Mobile worthy releases: we think Pokémon GO or the brand new Pokémon Sleep-related announcement might take place.

It’s happening. From Pokémon Masters EX datamine.

Pokémon Presents coming August 8 pic.twitter.com/86KwoFdnAF

— Centro LEAKS (@CentroLeaks) July 28, 2023

This is what the dataminer reports: from the in-depth analysis of the Pokémon Masters EX app it emerges that a new pocket monster-themed conference is not only around the corner but already has a beautiful broadcast date that specifies August 8th at 9 AM ET. If the indiscretion turns out to be true, it shouldn’t be long before the official announcement of the new pocket monster-themed conference takes place.

What could be the topics of the conference? Well, the list could be long. We assume that, finding some data within Pokémon Masters EX, an often underestimated title could certainly make an appearance, perhaps with a brand new event. Let’s not forget, as mentioned above, Pokémon Sleep or Pokémon GO-related announcement is also possible, as these apps are widely used by all fans of the series.

All we can do is wait for the announcement of the next Pokemon Presents, which seems to be imminent.

Call of Duty 2023, which will almost certainly be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, will be revealed within a COD: Warzone Season 5, as confirmed by Activision. What should be the direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2, seems to be the next video game in the shooter saga. Check out the complete details below.

Modern Warfare 3 Will Be Revealed in Warzone Event

Activision had already confirmed the existence of the Modern Warfare 3 title, in a certain sense, with some indirect activities related to Call of Duty some time ago.

A few days ago the artwork of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 had even appeared in a sensational leak related to the Monster drink. And now we are about to proceed to the definitive act of the process that will lead us to discover the future of Call of Duty because Activision has made an appointment.

According to the official blog post dedicated to the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Season 5, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will be revealed during a Warzone event. In a note on the official website, Activision talked about when we will be able to see the next episode of the series in action:

“Drop into Call of Duty: Warzone to experience the worldwide reveal for Call of Duty 2023 in a limited-time event, the blog mentions. “Join the ranks of Shadow Company to take on Konni forces and secure the chemical weapon threat before it’s too late. Stay tuned to Call of Duty channels for more details about the upcoming reveal.”

While Activision is still calling it Call of Duty 2023, it’s evident from the clues above that it is indeed Modern Warfare 3.

The original Modern Warfare 3 launched in November 2011 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, and closed out the recently rebooted Infinity Ward trilogy with the narrative format of the soft reboot. For years there has been talk of the existence of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 in a remastered version, and this umpteenth leak seems to be in the final confirmation.

Even though Xbox Game Pass Core will replace the “old” Games With Gold (it will officially debut on September 14, 2023) it’s time to discover the free games of next month. The subscription service to complement Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has seen the interest of players decline over the years. Check out the list of game games coming to Xbox Games With Gold for August 2023 below.

Xbox Games With Gold for August 2023 List

Silent Hill 2 will soon receive a remake made by Bloober Team, although apparently, the game will not be a simple 1:1 remake of its predecessor. The Konami-branded horror saga will in fact receive a reinterpretation of one of the chapters most appreciated by fans. And now, a well-informed insider has claimed that Silent Hill 2 Remake will be 100 percent bigger than the original title. Check out all the information below.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Will Be “100% Bigger Than The Original”

Recently, a report emerged stating that Silent Hill 2 Remake could use technology already seen in The Medium title, however, now specific details about the game have emerged thanks to an insider.

According to reports, the well-known Dusk Golem was recently asked via Discord about the game size of the Silent Hill 2 remake, and what he replied was certainly quite surprising: “It’s 100% bigger than the original.” Indeed, in the developers ‘ plans, there is a desire to revolutionize the way they develop horror games and tell stories.

In any case, the news can be read in two ways: it is not clear in fact if the leaker is claiming that the remake will literally be twice the size of the original game, or if it will simply be bigger.

In any case, more content is always a good and right thing, especially when we are talking about a horror franchise loved by millions of players all over the world.

Silent Hill 2 Remake will in any case be an experience faithful to the original title, albeit with various changes. In fact, Bloober Team has already explained that it wants to carry out a redesign wherever necessary, as in the case of the nurse, one of the most iconic enemies of the Konami horror series.

It is also true that this modernization process will make the remake of SH2 an even “more interesting experience than the original,” at least according to the words of the artist Masahiro Ito.

Remember that no release date or launch window has been announced for Silent Hill 2 Remake yet, but if anything comes up we will share information on it ASAP.

The next variant of Microsoft’s wireless controller could be called the Xbox Stormcloud Vapor, at least according to an insider BillBil-kun, famous for PlayStation Plus lineup leaks. The user has also shared the release date, price, and some other information about the upcoming controller from Microsoft. Check out all the information related to the upcoming Xbox Series X/S controller below.

Xbox Series X/S ‘Stormcloud Vapor’ Controller Leaked

According to reports, the user BillBil-kun shared some information about this alleged Xbox Series X/S controller. The next variant of the gamepad will therefore be called Xbox Stormcloud Vapor. The release date of this controller has been also leaked for August 8, 2023 by the same insider.

The ‘Stormcloud Vapor’ joystick will presumably retail for a price of $69.99, which is fairly a standard price for first-party Xbox gamepads. For example, the recently debuted Lunar Shift and Sunkissed Vibes OPI variants of the Xbox Wireless Controller are sold at the same price.

The report also claims that the controller has an internal codename “Jemez”, and even if there are not many details about its aesthetics or technical specs, the “Stormcloud Vapor” will possibly be available in a cyan-blue with gray undertone color.

UPDATE
UPCOMING RELEASE

We actually know the official name and release date of the unannounced yet #Xbox wireless controller codenamed "Jemez"

https://t.co/qC2imzpyX9

— billbil-kun (@billbil_kun) July 24, 2023

Billbil-kun also thinks that the “Stormcloud Vapor” controller could be related to Forza Motorsport, which is having a release date of October 10, 2023. While its supposed name doesn’t appear to be connected to the racing video game series, releasing a limited edition controller in the same month before the game it’s inspired by wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for Microsoft.

After all, that’s exactly what the company has done with the Starfield Xbox Wireless Controller, available for purchase since mid-June, while Bethesda’s highly anticipated RPG title should only hit the market in early September.

For the unversed, the Starfield-themed controller includes a design inspired by elements from the title. The controller has gray and gold colors to match the game’s branding and features textured grips. Its price is $79.99 but it is currently sold out, at least as regards to the official Xbox store.

PlayStation Project Q has shown itself in some stolen images and videos leaked on the net. The new remote gaming device designed by Sony and presented a few weeks ago is not receiving particularly enthusiastic feedback from fans. Check out the leaked images and video of PlayStation Q below.

PlayStation Project Q Video and Images Leaks Online

Sony recently announced plans to make a portable console for PS5 owners. This console is known as PlayStation Project Q and now some images and video have leaked on the net revealing that the project seems to work with Android.

As reported on the Resetera forum, where the stolen photographs were published, basically PlayStation Project Q can be described as an Android tablet attached to a PlayStation 5 controller. The photographs show the device in operation and also the same with the screen removed. To be honest, even the quality of materials and workmanship doesn’t feel worthy of an official PlayStation product.

The console appears with a large screen in the center, flanked by a DualSense controller split in two and attached on both sides, just like the Joy-Con on the Nintendo Switch.

PlayStation Project Q Leaks:#PlayStation #ProjectQ https://t.co/gyFrsW7xkN pic.twitter.com/0R0yQIdr0I

— @Zuby_Tech (@Zuby_Tech) July 22, 2023

The photos also show that Project Q will not have proprietary software, which makes it a device for simply streaming video games from a console. It’s basically not a stand-alone product like it was for PSP and PlayStation Vita and that too leaves fans confused. The interface, in fact, is typical of Android, with an application drawer and a navigation system with three buttons.

Precisely in this regard, many are already observing that the Android operating system will lend itself to “hacks” capable of allowing some users to make changes to the device. Obviously, it is assumed that the final software will be different from the one glimpsed in this video, but the presence of Google’s operating system certainly bodes well, even beyond just streaming games from PlayStation 5.
