Square Enix has yet to announce Dragon Quest Rivals Ace for the western market, but hopefully with this somewhat new direction it is taking, we might eventually see it down the line. That said, the market is already crowded with such titles, so we may have to wait for the rebranded game to take off in Japan first. Why the game had to rebranded in the first is anybody’s guess, given the fact that it seemed to be doing fairly well. Apart from from the new additions, we are going to have to see how the final product fares when it comes out in a few days. Be sure to give it a spin if you are into these sort of games.

Bayonetta 3 Release Date Announced With Explosive New Trailer

Nintendo has announced the hotly-anticipated release date for Bayonetta 3, just hours after news about the game being rated broke.

In the new trailer, it was announced that Bayonetta 3 would release on October 28th for the Nintendo Switch.

That’s not all that they showed, however- we now have more information on the plot of the upcoming game, as well as a look at the new playable characters shown off.
It looks like Bayonetta 3 will be dealing with a similar Multiverse situation, with multiple characters making reference to other universes that they have to fend off from Homunculi, the game’s new enemies.

We’re also introduced to Viola- a new playable character sporting a katana and a cat-like demon summon.

We don’t have much info on how her playstyle will differ from Bayonetta, though based on the purple effects during her brief gameplay sequences in the trailer it’s safe to assume she’ll have some form of Witch Time mechanic as well.
The official Nintendo Twitter account does also seem to lean into the ongoing fan theory of an alternate universe Bayonetta, making direct reference to “another Bayonetta” but never outright confirming it.
“Bayonetta engages in a bewitching battle against the Homunculi, a feisty new witch named Viola enters the scene, and… is that another Bayonetta? “, the tweet reads.
The YouTube video even mentions the main Bayonetta featured in the trailers sporting “Familiar pigtails”, which was part of what started the fan speculation in the first place.
FInally, they’ve also announced the addition of Naive Angel Mode- this feature allows you to play with censored visuals, for fans not too comfortablw with the skin exposure of your average Bayonetta game.

Relax, the witch is back and sexier than ever🌙
We've added the revolutionary "Naive Angel Mode" to Bayonetta 3 so more people can fully enjoy it👍
By turning it on, you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what's on screen… we think😅#Bayonetta3 pic.twitter.com/SEs3vqrdYc

You’ll also be able to buy the Bayonetta Masqerade Trinity Edition, which features sleeves based on all 3 of the game’s key visuals as well as an artbook.

Of Growing Games And Interesting Times – Interview With Stefan Baier and Sameer Pitalwalla

It’s no secret that games are a fast growing market. While it’s been true for a while now, it’s only doubled down in recent years, following the amount of time people spent indoors due to the pandemic.

We spoke to Stefan Baier, Chief Operating Officer at Streamline Media Group and Sameer Pitalwalla, Business Director for Southeast Asia and India at Epic Games about all the ways to grow a game in the current climate.

From the increased expectations of gamers to the variety of tools provided by companies like Epic Games via the Unreal Engine, it looks like the days of roughing it in your garage all by yourself are done for if you’re trying to put out your first game.
This interview is actually an excerpt from The Brave Room, and you can check out more ways to listen to it over on our coverage of the episode.

Higher Expectations
According to Stefan, there’s been a big uptick in appetite for games, with players generally having higher expectations for every new game as it comes out.
“Player expectations have become quite high, ironically you can make games that are smaller nowadays and get away with it”, Stefan says. “But the polish and level of sophistication of the gameplay, good frames, doesn’t crash, have increased a lot. Games need to have some kind of online capabilities, run well, be cross-play, be on all platforms, all that requires you to have your manpower in order to serve the demand of modern players”.
With all these standards, Stefan says partnerships are a necessity to make a game that meets everyone’s expectations.
“So for example Unreal has invested in systems like EOS, Epic Online Services that we are very familiar with as well and have partnered on that. It’s really understanding where the gaps are still to enable cross-play, to enable convenience for the players like consistency save game, friends list, that the next phase, the idea of the metaverse and crossplay is part of that. The convenience that players expect from games but comes at the cost of the developer so you have to partner to make that happen”, he says.
Of course, it also helps to smoothen out many of the most time-consuming parts of game development. Developing human characters, for example, is an incredibly tedious task for any game with a high-fidelity visual style.
Thankfully, Epic Games covers developers looking to develop for Unreal with various tools, like the previously announced MetaHuman creator, which lets you create any number of humans for your games. With the brunt work
“That is what we are hoping for as well at Epic, the whole idea for democratizing our tools like Unreal Engine to allow indie developers with smaller studios to the same quality of tools as larger developers”, Sameer says.

“The longer-term trend is probably that the tools will become even more democratized. And the difference between getting access to technology between a large studio and a small studio will become even more legible. If you look at tools like the Metahuman creator today, tools like those that need that kind of fidelity would cost millions to do and yet you can log on to a web browser today and create a character, download it and program it in Unreal Engine’s editor and get access the same kind of fidelity that anyone else could afford after a couple of million dollars threshold”, he continues.
“Like what happens with Youtube and the media, similar sort of patterns will happen with video games as well but I don’t think it will be at the scale of those large AAA titles because those teams will still need huge teams globally developing for years. But a new IP that’s good can become a big hit and I think that will become far less rare because of the democratization of tools in general”.
Considering tools like Metahuman creator are free to use, Sameer also says we could have one more avenue to look up for on the up and up- that being user generated content.
“I think a large part of creation will be happening with user-generated content. Users will have the same tools that creators do I can see a lot of studios heading in that direction”, he says. “Once you have the core product, your users then begin to use the same cool as you to build your own games. I especially see that in the case of these RPGs where you feel the need to make new characters and users can create new characters in that world and new IPs to that world. I think you’ll see users become acquainted with this tool and that will be the big change”.

Advice For Indie Devs
Sameer also highlighted Epic Games’ own commitment to helping more people make the games they want, with a three-pronged approach.
“I think you need three enablers, access to talent, access to capital, and access to knowledge. We have a great network of game companies that we connect these to, second is the access to capital we have given through the grant and third is access to knowledge which has been the biggest gap so far since the editor and the engine is not always easiest to use especially is the small team but that is why we have given them free training in this entire region”, he says.

“Anyone who wants to learn Unreal Engine, we actually give them a live tutor and have these people sit with them and take them through the paces of the engine and make sure they understand how to use the engine. So yeah, those are the three places that typically people have had problems taking the leap and we have tried to find a way to reduce friction in all three of them either by making it free in the case of a mega grant to incentivize them into taking the first leap forward”, he adds.
Help from publishers aside, Stefan also reminds smaller indies to not be afraid of pulling each other up, too.
“Let me put it this way, sometimes when you’re working as a small developer with the larger companies, there’s a perception created that there’s a scarcity of opportunities like there are only a very few games you can participate on, there are only very few games you can work on a project on but that’s not really to. There’s more than enough to go around for everyone. There are so many players that want to have a creative experience, there could be a lot more opportunity for collaboration between the studios than there is”, he says.
It’s not just for your small garage developers, either. There’s a lot more to being an indie developer than making passion projects, sometimes you’ll have to take jobs for bigger studios to pay bills- and Stefan says it helps to share the knowledge with each other rather than thinking every other studio is out to steal your meal ticket.
“I think there is an increase in understanding that there is this wealth out there and to capture it effectively you do need to work together and the good thing is having a shared technology space with the Unreal Engine is tremendously helpful so you do help each, you do advise each other and just trying to make sense of how the market is operating so it just increasingly happening, the two collaborating together, going well I’m gonna focus on the main product, you guys are focusing on the porting, we can all share and benefit from this, that is going to be a thing in the future because the independent studios, they can’t stay indie in some sense, they have to be mature enough to work with each other and then also they have to look at which one of them might mature some infrastructure into being a down publisher. That is where it is all going right? I think the next five years will show a lot of progress in that regard in the region”, he continues.
Make A Game That Plays Well
There’s also the thing about the visuals- with more games being able to pull their visuals from the same source, that means they’d need more than pretty faces to stand out from each other, as Stefan explains.
“What’s also interesting is that it also has a counterintuitive effect on player expectations. By democratizing to the level where the graphic fidelity, like where you can go to an asset store and get a mega asset and there’s just like, the pixel perfect things like this. The arms race for super high-end graphics is fizzling out which is nice, since a couple of years ago there was this implication that every game has to be like the best characters, you must have 30 characters with modelers working on it for years”.
Games like Fortnite have a distinct visual style, bucking the trend of high-fidelity visuals in shooters
“There’s value in that but there was almost an expectation that it needed to look like this, the next Gears of War has to look like this, the next has to look better but now because graphics are such a high standard by default, you can make a Roblox and the players will be fine. Years ago they would have judged it and say ‘this looks like crap’, why would I play this but nowadays this totally acceptable. Whatever you want to do, you can get away with it as longs as it’s polished”, Stefan says.
Instead of worrying about making every character look like a 30-million-poly supermodel, Stefan reiterated that now games can be measured on more intuitive factors- like the actual player experience, such as letting multiplayer games actually work when you try to play with friends.
“Anything goes nowadays as long as it has crossplay and online. It’s more important nowadays that it’s convenient for me and I can connect with my friends, that’s what matters. You don’t have to put the graphics to the maximum and that is super liberating. It’s kind of counterintuitive to the mega projects, like not every project has to be 1 million dollars, you could tell a super emotional story to tell, you can tell it with less, it doesn’t have to have to best graphics. It could take 5 years to make this, what’s gonna be the best fit for that kinda title.”, he says. “Hopefully, that liberation will be embraced by the industry, why make one title with that story when you could make 5 titles to tell different stories”.
Making A Game With Value
At the end of the day, games are a creative endeavor. While there is a business side to it, its core is one of ideas- a game can’t stand out without a strong idea at the center of it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a financial juggernaut like Fornite or an indie darling like Undertale, unless your game has something interesting in it people just aren’t going to appreciate it and you won’t see your game growing to any notable heights.
In a sense, that’s why the idea of lowering the barrier to entry is so enticing- with services like MetaHuman Creator you could spend less time worrying about the technical stuff and more time refining those ideas to make something truly special.
Our thanks to Stefan and Sameer for the insight into how to really push forward game development. Don’t forget to check out the whole episode for more of their insights.

It’s not all utility though- the trailer also shows off damaging constructs too, as players are shown assembling giant hammers as well as even a bomb- all shown damaging the Kingtusk.

We’re also shown defensive applications of the constructs, as players are shown being able to erect whole barriers that the Kingtusk can hit, causing it to stagger and fall over.
The gameplay trailer also shows off three of the weapons that will be usable in Wild Hearts: from a traditional Katana to a bladed umbrella to even a transforming set of Kunai that turn into a giant shuriken.

Playstation Plus Video Pass a future prospect

Playstation Plus subscribers look like they may soon gain access to Playstation Plus Video Pass. It was accidentally leaked on Sony’s official website, the service being described as a “limited time benefit” for PS Plus subscribers available from 22 April 2021 to 22 April 2022. The logo and description have since been removed.

With Sony ceasing distribution of TV and movie content for purchase or rental on the Playstation Store from 31 August 2021, this could be how the other media can continue to be accessible. If you have gotten TV or movie content from the PS Store before, rest assured you will still have access to them.

The featured movies – Venom, Zombieland: Double Tap and Bloodshot – are all movies from Sony Pictures, though we’ll have to see if the offerings will be exclusively from Sony’s library, or licensing will allow for other titles. It’s also currently unknown if you’d be able to access the movies at any point as long as you maintain your subscription, or they’re only available as long as they remain on the service.

Licensing is a finicky beast, so the Playstation Plus Video Pass is likely going to be available to select regions, and it’ll take a long while, if at all, to broaden its scope. We’ll have to keep an eye out.

Pre-registration for Attack on Titan Tactics opens

DeNA has just announced that its upcoming Attack on Titan Tactics game for the Android and iOS platforms have opened for pre-registration. The beta-test for the game is scheduled to hit sometime early 2019.

As implied in the name, Attack on Titan Tactics takes a more strategic approach to the series, where players need to prowess the tactical know-how to defeat the Titans. One such tactic would be lure and trap said Titans in order to damage them.

Because it is already expected from such games, the original cast will be lending their voice talent and reprise their respective roles. At this juncture, we do know what the game really entails, but given the high profile nature of this game, expect more information to be made available sooner than later.

[PL2022] ShuaiGeDui V2’s (SGDV2) Kmf1- Tells Us More About Playing PUBG Competitively

We’re at the Asia Pacific Predator League 2022 in Japan, watching over the latest e-sports athletes competing in a number of different games. We even got the speak to one of them, that being Kmf1-, a member of SGDV2, the PUBG team that is representing Malaysia in the tournament.

Chuah Chun Ming, known under the player name: Kmf1- has been playing in PUBG tournaments for the past few years, starting when he came in 14th place at the PUBG tournament PUBG Malaysia Series 2019. Kmf1- told us more about the challenges of playing the game and what he thinks of the title in its current form:

Is there something you want to change most about PUBG?
Maybe the rank system. They should make it more competitive. There are a lot of problems in ranked games.
Considering the relative ‘randomness’ of the game, how do you prepare for ‘bad’ situations?
We don’t prepare so much. We will play aggressively before the match so we just let them [opponents] go in and see what happens. We will play aggressively and act accordingly depending on what happens.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

What is the Most challenging thing in your career so far?
Maybe communications. I used to play with Chinese but now I play with English-speaking folks. It’s very challenging for us and maybe them because they’re used to speaking Melayu in their previous teams and we speak Chinese in ours.
Is there any region you want to play against
Maybe a Chinese team from China? They tend to be the most challenging region in PUBG on PC.
How different is it from playing on lan as opposed to playing online tournaments?
Maybe the environment is different, and the PCs they use. In our home, we can play more comfortably but here the setup is less familiar which can be challenging.
How important is the on-site audience here for you?
We don’t feel too much pressure from the audience. Even when you are competing online, there is a live stream so people are always watching.
They [the developers] have talked about changing the gunplay. What do you think about that?
If you mean the change in animations, I think the new animation is better than the old one. It’s all subjective though, some people say it’s not good but I think I’m good with it.
What do you see yourself doing in the future if you stop playing pro?
Maybe I will be making business, hopefully.

Well, hopefully, Kmf1- will continue to play PUBG in esports tournaments for many years to come. We thank him for his time and wish him and his team the best of luck in future endeavors.

Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English, and Spanish will be available as language options in all regions during the Open Beta, while Regional servers will be launched where necessary.

The original cover art for the game
Fatal Frame IV was originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2008 but was never localized into English, although it did receive a fan-made transition patch later on. The game is notable for being co-developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and co-directed by Suda51, the creator of the No More Heroes games and Killer 7.
The story sees the protagonist Ruka Minzauki, a survivor of a kidnapping incident as a child return to the island she was taken to try and remember her childhood and why she was the only survivor when everyone else died.

Fatal Frame IV is a survival horror game where rather than shooting or running from the Ghosts that attack, you instead take their picture. Using a special camera called the Camera Obscura, you take pictures of the ghosts in order to exorcise them.
The closer you get to the ghosts the more effective the picture will be. Of course, this is also where it’s easiest for them to attack you, creating a horrific risk vs reward system.

[Guide] Cookie Run Kingdom – Should You Use Prophet Cookie

The wise Prophet Cookie has come to shape the future of the Cookie Run Kingdom much like how he did as a character in Cookie Run Ovenbreak.

But how will this fortune-telling sage fair in an all-new land? Will he find paradise or perdition? We’ll take a look at his skill, best toppings, and playstyle and make some predictions of our own.

The Skills of Prophet Cookie

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Prophet Cookie is an epic tier support cookie that primarily stands in the back row. His skill is called Seven Prophecies. Here is the description of the skill:
Prophet Cookie delivers one out of seven prophecies. Upon invoking a prophecy, Prophet Cookie will heal an ally and amplify the buffs they receive. Additionally, an extra skill effect will be activated depending on the symbol of the prophecy, dealing damage to the enemies and amplifying the debuffs they receive.
The debuffs applied by the prophecies are weaker than those of the original skills. Some prophecies do not have any additional effects. While Prophet Cookie is using his skill, he will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects. Wandering around the Kingdom, Prophet Cookie will come up with Fortune Cookies every three days. Tap the Fortune Cookie to obtain a gift. The higher Prophet Cookie’s rank, the better gift!
Here are the stats for the skill:

DMG of Seven Prophecies: total DMG will range from 103.6% to 250.5%
Amplified Debuffs: +5.0% for 20 sec; stacks up to x1
Healing: heals 10.0% of ATK every 1 sec for 5 sec
Amplified Buffs: +17.5% for 20 sec; stack up to x1
Locked Prophecy: activated upon exceeding 10.0% in CRIT% with Toppings

The Best Use of Prophet Cookie?

Please note, that as with every new Cookie added to Cookie Run Kingdom new strategies and uses are still being formed by the player base but this is what we found based on first impressions:
Prophet Cookie seems to be the Togepi of Cookie Run. His skill is more or less metronome, an attack that summons one of seven other attacks to use in battle. That being said, the majority of those attacks are pretty powerful and copy abilities from some of the best cookies in the game like Frost Queen Cookie’s freezing spell, Sea Fairy Cookie’s Whirlpools, or Squid Ink Cookie’s kaiju rampage. The stat buffs of these attacks aren’t as good as the real deal but they’re still pretty effective. The healing and stat buffs that can as he brings up the fortune cookie are a nice bonus as well.
The fact that the skill is so random can be seen as a downside but it’s honestly pretty manageable. For the most part, each different attack still hits pretty hard so you never feel like a turn with Prophet Cookie has gone to the waist. That being said, it is possible for him to fire an attack that does absolutely nothing which can be a detriment when in a fight. Once again though, the blank spell didn’t occur regularly enough for it to be annoying (it gains a higher chance of activating if you get below 10% crit percentage from topping though). For the most part, Prophet only seems to get good fortunes.
Best Toppings

The best toppings for Prophet Cookie would be Swift Chocolate for faster skill cooldown or Solid Almonds for higher damage resistance.
Between the two I personally preferred having full Swift Chocolate as Prophet Cookie is a very skill-dependent unit. Being able to access his fortunes quicker will make him more effective in battle.
Who Is Prophet Cookie

Prophet Cookie originates from Cookie Run Ovenbreak. He’s a fortune teller that many don’t believe is legitimate but he doesn’t mind as it means they’re all the more amazed when his fortunes come true. Here is his full bio presented in Kingdom:
This wizened Cookie is often called “Fortune Cookie” for his ability to know what’s coming before it happens. His Scroll of Prophecy tells him how he should run, giving him the confidence to jump and slide his way to victory, even if it isn’t always right. Some say the source of his foresight is his mysterious purple Crystal Ball, but in reality, it is his majestic beard!

Fortnite Kids Begging For Donations On GoFundMe To Get FREE V-Bucks

Though this is only happening in the West, it’s still troubling to know what the world is coming to nowadays. Players of Fortnite, usually kids, are looking for alternatives to gain V-Bucks, the in-game currency to purchase skins, emotes and dances. It’s appalling that these kids apparently just can’t live with the thought of having to play using the default skin of Fortnite. Kids of course do not have access to their parent’s credit cards. So they turned to GoFundMe, a crowdfunding platform that helps people raise money for events ranging from life events, accidents and illnesses.

14743 campaigns and rising
Currently there are over 14743 campaigns started up on the GoFundMe site which you can see above, or check it out yourself here! Now that these kids have found a way to fund themselves to get FREE V-Bucks, they of course will not hold back with their wish. There are some who are actually asking for $1,000 USD just to spend more on the game. It’s really unsettling to know kids actually spend more than they could start earning!

Some of the campaigns started
While this is just a case that’s happening over in the West, here in Malaysia, we’d be getting a tight-slap if we spend any money like “water” before we can even earn any when we were kids. Of course, there are some Malaysian kids who are lucky enough to be bred in a silver-spoon family, and can afford spend money religiously.
I guess this is America?

Genshin Impact PS5 Version Details Released

Genshin Impact has revealed more details on the game’s upcoming PS5 version, which is due for release 28th April.

In a Developer trailer for the game, miHoYo explained the work that would go into the next-gen version of the game, focusing on better optimization as well as improved visual quality.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

One of the ways they did this was with an improved visual library. What this means is that the team are reworking the textures, allowing for more detailed objects in the world such as the various weapons, and even fabrics in the game when running on the PS5 versus the PS4 version. This also means better 4K and HDR support, really giving the game a chance to shine.
Of course, one problem with upscaled textures is that they often put an increased strain on the machine running them, leading to longer loading times., However, with the PS5’s SSD, miHoYo aims to make sure the PS5 version of Genshin Impact will load better than ever before.

Of course, the big takeaway from the deep dive was that it wasn’t just slightly better textures and better loading. While they didn’t show it, miHoYo says you can expect a unique version of Qingyun Peak coming to the game’s PS5 version, to make full use of the visual upgrade.
miHoYo says the PS5 version of the game also plans to include DualSense support, though they were unclear if this means it would be included in future.
“We’ve been working to develop various functions to fully utilize this next-gen console in the long run,” said Zhenzhong Yi, Technical Director of miHoYo. “In future updates, we will have much more potential to elevate the visual quality and game performance — we are only scratching the surface.”

Cringey Live Action One Punch Man: The Strongest Mobile Ad Gets Blasted By Fans

A new ad has been released for the recently released mobile game One Punch Man: The Strongest and it’s very strange.

The One Punch Man: The Strongest ad sees a live-action Saitama (who seems to have forgotten to shave this morning) enter a restaurant and start rapping as the rest of the customers and staff dance along. I won’t lie, it’s pretty cringe. The One Punch Man fan account @Everything_OPM has posted the ad. Watch at your own risk.

Not only is the rapping stilted, autotuned, and badly worded but fans probably aren’t going to be happy with the main character being referred to as “One Punch Man” as opposed to his actual name Saitama or even his hero code name “Caped Baldy”. Remember One Punch Man isn’t his name, it’s just the title of the manga.
If that’s not enough, Twitter user @TMOComedyy found another ad for the game featuring a live-action Garou and Tatsumaki. The acting is…something.

don’t worry though, it gets worse pic.twitter.com/qgErBxyG6A
— The Master Of Comedy (@TMOComedyy) September 25, 2022

Fan Reaction
Many users started mocking how bad the commercial is over social media. On an upload of the ad to Youtube by the channel Cringe Frenzy, users are baffled by the fact that this is an official commercial and one comment even pointed out that this is the first love action appearance of Saitama. The opinions of Twitter have not been much better:

I’m so confused because apparently the developer of the game is from Hong Kong and obviously the anime is from Japan and for some reason they just went full occidental in the ads but also they have the Japanese voice acting??? Like what is this? Are these ads aired in Asia too???

Strange Youtube Mobile Ads

As weird as these are, ads like these are becoming somewhat of a trend. Cheaply-made commercials for new mobile games with bad acting and cheesy dialogue. They’re usually played through Youtube ads. I was able to find the one above for the game Warpath uploaded by Youtuber Son Gohan.
For what it’s worth, the game One Punch Man: The Strongest has been well received by fans of the manga/anime with the original Japanese cast reprising their roles.

Two cops fired for ignoring robbery to catch Snorlax in Pokémon GO

Court documents revealed that two LAPD cops were fired for choosing to catch Snorlax in Pokémon GO instead of responding to a robbery. The incident happened back in 2017. The California Court of Appeals upheld the firing of the two officers, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell, on January 7 a few days back after they tried to appeal against the termination of their employment.

Earlier this week, the lawsuit went viral after a 32-page pdf surrounding the entire case was uploaded to the internet. It goes into great detail regarding Lozano’s and Mitchell’s conversation that was recorded by the digital in-car video system (DICVS) of their patrol car.

After ignoring a request to respond to a robbery in progress, the two cops went on to drive around a neighbourhood to catch a Snorlax that appeared on their Pokémon GO app. After that, the pair was caught discussing Pokémon for approximately 20 minutes as they drove around following the Pokémon that appeared. After apparently catching the Snorlax, they went on to catch a Togetic next. You can read the entire document chronicling their adventures here.
When confronted with the evidence from the recording, this was how the officers responded:

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Petitioners also denied playing Pokémon Go while on duty. They claimed they were monitoring a “Pokémon tracker” application on their phone, but not playing the game itself. As for “catching” Pokémon, Officer Lozano insisted this referred to “capturing [an] image” of the Pokémon on the tracking application to share with friends, while Officer Mitchell said his statements about “fighting” the Togetic referred to “relaying that information to the groups on my app,” adding that, “in order to take the picture, occasionally, the creature will fight.” Lozano said they were not engaged in a game; rather, it was a “social media event.” Mitchell said he did not consider the application a game because it was not “advertised as a game.” Petitioners admitted leaving their foot beat area in search of Snorlax, but they insisted they did so “both” as part of an “extra patrol” and to “chase this mythical creature.”
Pokémon GO may be known for causing traffic accidents, but indirectly causing police officers to lose their jobs might be a first. Regardless, please play your video games responsibly.

Man Arrested for Sending Sega 12 Death Threats

Akira Watanabe, a 54-year-old man living in Toyokawa Japan has been arrested for allegedly sending a number of death threats to video game company Sega.

Japanese news portal Yomiuri says that the suspect was arrested for sending at least 12 threatening letters to Sega Sammy Holdings from December 2021 to February of this year 2022. In the emails he allegedly wrote that he would “torch the company and kill the employees” and even “kill the family and children of employees.”

Upon being investigated by police, Watanabe said that his motive for writing these emails was because he was losing at a game online. It has not been revealed by the authorities which game he was playing.
The threat of “torching” the company down is especially significant as it evokes the Kyoto Animation arson attack in 2019 where a 41 year old man started a fire in the office of animation studio Kyoto Animation for supposedly plagarising his writing. The incicdent killed 36 people.

It is because of this tragedy that Japanese authorities have become much more vigilant of death threats being written to companies and it is likely a reason for the arrest of Watananbe following his threats to Sega.
There have been similar threats since the Kyoto attack including a high school student sending death threats to Konami and a 21 year old threatening to unleash poisonos gas through a local aracde. Both were arrested following their threats.
