Teaser trailer for Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth posted

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth originally came out as the PSP port of Valkyrie Profile, and Square Enix uploaded a new video entitled “First Teaser Trailer 2018,” suggesting the possibility of another remake or port.

However, taking into account that the trailer was featured on Famitsu App, the branch of game publication Famitsu which focuses on smartphone games, we are most likely getting new smartphone port, although we will know for real only in the coming days.

A official Twitter account for Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth has been opened as well, so do follow it for the latest details and information.
A smartphone port would make the most sense at this point, since the game was brought over to a portable device before. There is also no need to be concerned that this would be a free-to-play game as well, since there is Valkyrie Anatomia.

miHoYo Responds To Genshin Impact Anniversary Backlash: Paying “Close Attention”

miHoYo has finally released a statement to the Genshin Impact Anniversary backlash, the source of a rocky week for the game company.

According to TheGamer, miHoYo had the following to say:

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

“We’ve been paying close attention on various feedbacks regarding Genshin Impact first anniversary,” the statement reads. “The opinions and feedbacks from players and fans are really valuable to us, and we wish all fans will continue the adventure and collect more cherished memories in Teyvat.”
“We’ve already come up with more celebrations including the coming Genshin Impact online concert and thank-you gifts to express our gratitude on players’ support all the way along.”

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The statement comes following a massive PR disaster on miHoYo’s end, fueled by fans unhappy with how miHoYo has handled the Genshin Impact Anniversary. While the community has long-joked about miHoYo being reluctant to give too much of its premium currency to users, fans were secretly hoping for a surprise reveal of either a good bounty of currency similar to other games, or the ability to select a free character similar to what they did for their Lunar New Year events.
This lead to the game being massively review bombed on the app store, with fallout spreading to fellow miHoYo title Honkai Impact, as well as other totally unrelated mobile games seemingly caught in the crossfire as well.

Unforgettable Journey was supposed to be a fun website to celebrate the game’s anniversary, but hasn’t done much to calm down the upset fans

N-INNOCENCE slated for November 2021 launch

Asobimo‘s N-INNOCENCE game is planned to launch 24 November 2021, too long since it was initially announced just under a week ago. An official website has been established as part of its pre-registration campaign. The game’s story is said to revolve around the themes of mythology, while giving them a science fiction flavour. Norse, Japanese and Greek mythology are said to be featuring in the first three chapters of the game respectively, presumably with more to come.

via appmedia
The game is meant to look similar to a 2D fighting game, with extremely intuitive controls. Simply tap anywhere on the screen to attack, tap repeatedly for a combo, with a “Combo Art” to finish off the chain. Press and hold to activate a character’s special move. If you can push an enemy into the “Burst” state, that’s when you can deal more damage to your foe. Up to three characters will be in your frontline, with backup coming in the form of “assist skills”.

Pashamon – Sega’s Mobile Camera RPG Launched!

Pashamon, Sega’s Mobile Camera RPG is launched today in Japan! The game was first revealed last month which utilizes a mobile phone’s camera to capture monsters in VR. With its unique capabilities, it has an AI camera identification technology that turns your every day real life objects into monsters that you can take to battle! Instead of going around outside of your comfort just to catch virtual monsters, you can now even catch them when you are at home!

Unlike its next of kin, Pokemon Go, the game requires players to take photos of different real life objects. Then the AI will identify it and transform your pictures into monsters with each their own attack power. Interestingly as you can see below, a picture of a Japanese omelette rice dish was turned into a monster called Ketchapa. While another turned into a female monster called Mary (reference to Bloody Mary?).

More features like Breeding is also included in the game, where players can breed certain monsters by mating two monsters. It is unsure how the breeding system works for now or if there is a formula for breeding but no harm in experimenting if you are not afraid of chimeras. And of course, the game has a battle system where you can use your captured or bred monsters to battle against other players online either in multiplayer mode or single player mode.

Bravely Default Brilliant Lights – Bravely 3 Make More Money

Bravely Default Brilliant Lights is the mobile entry for the Bravely Default series, released to celebrate its tenth anniversary. As much as I would hope that Square Enix had prepared the servers for the potential flood of people trying the game out, it nonetheless went down for emergency maintenance the day after its launch on 27 January 2022. It’s not having a smooth debut, but well, that’s besides the point.

After doing battle with region lock, how’s the game?

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

PRESENTATION
When I first saw the preview images, I said it looks like a “simpler” version of Bravely Default II. It basically is the console game, save with new characters, free to play, and has gacha elements. You even start off in some of the same towns from the second game, and the story beats look virtually identical. Heck, even the music from II returns, since you’re not in a new new area. The story isn’t fully voiced, using stock sounds instead. There has been issues doing voice recording in Japan as of late, so if they intend to add those, it likely won’t be for a while yet.

                    Homescreen.

There’s quite a bit of menuing involved so just as well they do look pretty nicely spaced and sorted out, language barrier notwithstanding.

GAMEPLAY
Combat retains the Brave and Default stances, and is turn-based. Default to gain Brave Points, or you’re free to just use 3 Brave actions in a row at the cost of not being able to act until you regain BP. The usual MP is there for any of your spells, and monsters have weaknesses you can exploit to Break them. Brilliant Lights has an actual turn order too!!! You can actually see who or what will act next!!!

                    Yes, there are cut ins.

The main story moves you from node to node, so there isn’t any exploration unlike the console titles. Hardly surprising, in wanting to keep things relatively simpler for mobile. As far as I can tell, there are only four basic classes for the characters to start, and the four new Heroes of Light will each fill their respective roles.

The earliest way you can improve your characters is by weapons, which can be improved in a number of ways, including raising their base level, star level, giving them additional attributes, what looks like gem sockets, refinement level, duplicates etc. You can get “specialty” weapons, so to speak, that are best suited for a certain character too. There’s an alchemy system that I didn’t really try out, because there’s some issues with that system at time of testing.

                    Alchemy.

For what its worth, it feels like a somewhat watered down version of Bravely Default II, to me.
GACHA
Characters can be bought from the shop, at 2000 currency a pop. The gacha is for equipment, where you get a whopping 10% chance to obtain a R10 (the highest quality) weapon. That said, there’s still a lot of work to do to make a weapon really good, so it’s not Super generous per se. After 100 draws, you can exchange for a ticket to select an applicable weapon or artifact (accessory).

CLOSING THOUGHTS
There’s nothing wrong with Bravely Default Brilliant Lights per se. Maybe because it’s a mobile title, the simultaneous relative simplification of systems and the foreseeable grind for that equipment, that simply doesn’t appeal to me. I can’t speak for the story because I can’t judge something I don’t understand, which is a shame.

Perhaps, I would have preferred this as a full console title instead.

And at the same time, the page on Tap Tap (Tap.io) also had been adjusted.

At the moment many people are still working at home, so it may be that Blizzard cooperates in this way to download the app. Meaning the internal tests is still not over yet.
Although, according to Rhykker, who is a respected Diablo Youtuber, gave his two cents about the update saying: “I do suspect that this has implications that things are happening, things are heating up. And maybe we’re not too far away from external testing starting.”
Diablo Immortal is a mobile MMO ARPG currently planned for iPhone and Android devices. We want it to include all the things you know and love about Diablo: multitudes of monsters to slay, troves of loot to collect and customize, and powerful classes to play with friends or on your own.

“Roll7 have proven that they successfully come up with truly innovative games that combine original gameplay with an outstanding art style,” said Michael Worosz, Chief Strategy Officer, Take-Two Interactive, and Head of Private Division. “Rollerdrome is another prime example of their innovative spirit as this talented group once again pushes the boundaries of movement with this wholly unique shooter experience.”

Sneak Up On Pokemons With Pokemon Go AR+ Mode!

Why catch Pokemon the usual way when you can sneak up on them now! With the all-new Pokemon Go AR+ Mode, players can now sneak up on Pokemon and catch them by surprise! It’s not just a sneaky feature but it actually gives bonuses to players who successfully catch a Pokemon by sneaking up on them!

[one_half][/one_half]
[one_half_last][/one_half_last]
So how does one actually sneak up onto Pokemons? Well with the AR+ Mode feature on, you will still be able to notice Pokemons appearing on your screen of course. But this time, they will have an awareness meter which will fill up the closer you get to them. When the awareness meter is filled up, the Pokemon will flee and you will fail to catch them.

One of the coolest thing this AR+ Mode features is the actual sizes of Pokemons. Players will be able to get close and personal through their screen and experience how big – for example, a Gyarados is. As players walk closer to a large Pokemon, it will fill up the screen which will render you to tilt your screen back to see the full size of the Pokemon. While other small Pokemon will seem to be pretty small until you go closer to it. The closer you are, the higher chances of earning a Great or Excellent throw bonus plus more Stardust and XP as long as the Pokemon is not startled.
Currently the AR+ Mode will only be available for the iPhone 6 and later models with iOS11. Android users will have to wait for the update or until it is announced.

Razer Naga Pro Review – A Highly Customizable Gaming Mouse of Choice

The latest entry of Razer Gaming Mice comes in the form of Razer Naga Pro which is a highly customizable gaming mouse, and here’s our review on it.

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

Possibly the main selling point of the Razer Naga Pro would be customizability the mouse offers with its three different swappable side plates which are held with magnetic pads which means the side plates can be taken out easily without much struggle.

Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The three different side plates holds up to 20 customizable buttons where you can map out those buttons to your individual likings. The first side plate comes with 12 buttons which is suitable for MMO games and with the extensive amount of hotkeys needed for most MMO games, this 12 button plate will definitely ease your troubles.
The 6 buttons plate is more catered to Battle Royale games or MOBA games such as Dota 2 where you can map your items keys to these 6 buttons which makes them easier to use during teamfights. Lastly, the 2 button plate is mainly for FPS games such as CS:GO, Valorant or Apex Legends where you could map those buttons to swapping weapons.
Another main feature for the Naga Razer would be its ergonomic design where I can rest my hands comfortably on the mouse. (Index finger on mouse 1, middle finger on mouse 2, ring finger resting on the extra hold at the side, as well as a grip for the pinkie.)
The Razer Naga Pro also comes with three different modes of connection: Wired , Wireless HyperSpeed wireless technology which is considered to have the fastest wireless gaming performances of 2.4 GHz with the lowest click latency with improved power efficiency for more battery life as well as Bluetooth connection so there’s just about a mode for everyone.

This mouse also has the Razer Focus +20K DPI Optical Sensor which provides users cutting edge precision and its lift-off and landing distance calibration along its motion sync gives users a more consistent way of tracking. The Razer optical mouse switch for actuation at the speed of light and it also eliminates unintended double-clicks with a click durability of 70 million clicks, it’s also x3 faster than average mechanical switches.

The Naga Pro Mouse is also compatible with Razer Naga Dock for easier charging, provided if you have this since it doesn’t come with the mouse. Although, the Naga Pro has a battery life of up to 100 hours which of course, amounts to 100 hours worth of uninterrupted gameplay and not only that, the mouse also gets the Razer Chroma RGB pallet for some sick lights, an epic gamer moment, if you will.

The Razer Naga Pro weighs at 117 g/ 0.257 lbs which is considered to be one of the more heavier Razer Gaming Mouse there is currently but if you’re looking for a mouse with a little bit of weight to them, then this would be your choice.

With the price of $149, The Razer Naga Pro is definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a firm and comfortable gaming mouse with access to high customizability.

Starcraft II Ends Paid Content Development

Blizzard announced today that they would be ending development of paid content for their iconic strategy game Starcraft II.

In a blog post, Rob Bridenbecker, Vice President of Technology, Strategy and Planning at Blizzard Entertainment talked about how they would be pivoting away from casual content to focus instead on the game’s competitive scene.

“We’re going to continue supporting StarCraft II in the same manner as we have with our previous longstanding games, such as Brood War, focusing primarily on what our core and competitive communities care about most:, he said. “What this means is that we’re not going to be producing additional for-purchase content, such as Commanders and War Chests, but we will continue doing season rolls and necessary balance fixes moving forward”.

An RTS Icon
Though Starcraft II launched as a fairly straightforward RTS, over the years it received a big boost to casual content through the Co-Op Commanders mode. This mode allowed you to choose commanders based on the game’s three factions, who brought different styles of play to the army with special abilities.
While some Commanders were given for free, others could be bought with real money. This worked especially well when the base game, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, went free-to-play. It allowed people who didn’t care about playing ranked multiplayer matches to engage in more thematic games with friends.
However, with this news, it looks like this means that this mode will no longer be supported. Instead, future updates will only come in the form of balance patches for the game’s multiplayer.
Despite the news, Bridenbecker says this is far from the end of the Starcraft story. He hinted that although Starcraft II will remain an eSports game, they’ll look at ways to bring Starcraft content to other fans.
“We know some of our players have been looking forward to some of the things we’re moving away from, but the good news is this change will free us up to think about what’s next, not just with regard to StarCraft II, but for the StarCraft universe as a whole”, he says.

Granblue Fantasy Versus Players Just Want Rollback Netcode, Man

Granblue Fantasy Versus is in a weird place: the game is eating well in terms of support from its developers and publishers, yet the community’s number one request- rollback netcode– remains unfulfilled.

The latest of these blessings comes with an announcement- that Granblue Fantasy Versus would be joining the PlayStation Plus lineup, which would bring a huge tide of new players to the game, a boost for any fighting game.

However, the comments below various posts sharing the announcement are all the same: a dejected looking emoji man, in an effort to pressure Cygames and Arc System Works to improve the game’s net play.
“It’s VERY hard to recommend this game to folks when nearly *every* fighting game on the market now has rollback/will be getting rollback, there’s no excuse”, writes Zero Striker.

The sad emoji man isn’t just on any one tweet- he is everywhere, following every Cygames tweet be it announcements or even just posts celebrating the game.
One user has described it as annoying- it’s almost impossible to see any kind of content about the game on Twitter anymore without the yellow face of condemned delay-based netcode rearing itself.
“As the person running @GBVS_Events I am literally imploring people to stop posting this shit because I search GBVS as a keyword to find and RT events that have it in their lineup and it is literally hampering my ability to even find anything because I can’t mute a goddamn image“, writes another user, Rowlet.
As of this writing, the Official Granblue Fantasy Versus Twitter account has not responded to renewed requests for rollback netcode.
Granblue Fantasy Versus has had a weird relationship with its online- the game launched literally right before the start of the pandemic, sporting delay-based netcode and axing many chances to show it off without the game crawling to a halt.
Following the first offline EVO since the pandemic, it also became the only game in the top 8 lineup to not have announced some kind of rollback-related announcement, either- prompting a lot of pushback from fans as other “impossible” titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Samurai Shodown all announced they would be sporting netcode.
Briefly, Rollback netcode is part of what’s allowed titles like MultiVersus, Guilty Gear Strive and Melty Blood Type Lumina retain users: by providing better online experiences, players can still play matches with minimal side effects, given a stable enough connection.

Granblue Fantasy: VersusDeveloper: Arc System WorksRelease Date: 2020-02-06PlayStation 4, Steam
Granblue Fantasy has soared into the hearts of millions since its release as a browser game for smartphones in 2014, and will celebrate its sixth birthday in March 2020. Featuring Cygames' high-quality art, captivating sound design, and an ever-expanding game system, Granblue Fantasy has continued to charm its fans throughout the years.

Now Cygames has partnered with Arc System Works, known for such popular fighting franchises as GUILTY GEAR and BlazBlue, to bring Granblue Fantasy to the world of fighting games, complete with top-notch game design and one-of-a-kind 3D graphics. Granblue Fantasy: Versus will be released for the PlayStation®4 on February 6, 2020.

GravaStar Mars Pro Speaker Review: The Sci-Fi Singing Computer Companion

Speakers come in all shapes and sizes but I never thought I’d see one shaped like a droid from Star Wars but that’s exactly what the GravaStar Mars Pro Speaker looks like with its unique futuristic design.

The speaker however has much more to it than just its appearance. With crisp sound quality and great use of immersive lighting, the GraveStar makes for a great desk speaker and while it has a couple of minor issues, it can easily bring your media setup to life.

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

The Sci-Fi Speaker

The GravaStar Mars Pro is very eye-catching and its design gives it a lot of personality beyond a regular speaker. I like to call mine “Little Spidey”. You can even open and close the legs, putting it into a “sitting mode”, or “standing mode”, it’s very cute.

The development team really went all-out to give it a real otherworldly feel. The outer shell is highly detailed with concave and convex lines, they even used hexagon nuts instead of Phillips screws, adding to the mecha feel of the device.

There are three buttons on the speaker. The button on the left is the light button, which can be used to change color or mode of the device. The middle button turns the power on and pauses the music and the right button is the Bluetooth button. Finally, the touch screen on top of the speaker is for adjusting the volume.

For such a complex design, the button layout is surprisingly simple which is good as it makes the device easy to use and quick to get working.
There were a couple of issues with the GravaStar though. The design may look cool but it’s a fingerprint magnet and will quickly be covered in smudges. The touch bar for the volume is also either a little too sensitive or not sensitive enough as I often wanted to adjust the volume and it  just wouldn’t respond.
Finally it’s also fairly heavy at 3.0kg. It’s still manageable to hold but when combined with it’s three long spider legs,it’s not going to be the kind of speaker you take around to friends’ houses.
See The Lights

The speaker is decorated with dynamic lighting bars that can shine light in up to six different colors: Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Orange, and Green.
You can choose from three different light modes when you are using the speaker:

     Normal Mode (The light stays still)
     Breathing Mode (color fade from one to another)
     Rhythm Mode (The light flickers with the bass)

My favorite of the three by far was Rhythm Mode, but I found it only suitable for certain kinds of music. When I’m listening to pop or rock songs the light just flickers randomly as if it can’t find the base.
With songs that have a heavy bass line however like EDM or Trance music, it works great and it can be really mesmerizing to see the lights change to the rhythm. I do wish it would better synched up with a wider variety of songs but the light show it produces is still pretty nice to look at on its own.
The Bluetooth Connection

The GravaStar Mars Pro is a Bluetooth speaker which makes use of Bluetooth 5.0. This means that the connection doesn’t drain the battery as quickly and it has a range of 10 meters. You can also physically connect it with your PC, phone, or TV using the 3.5mm audio jack.
There is an issue where the Bluetooth might not function if the speaker is paired with too many devices and you try to switch between them but that’s an issue a lot of Bluetooth devices have so I’m not sure how much I can blame the speaker for that. As such, I’d recommend only having it paired with one or two other devices at most to ensure a secure connection.
The Sound Quality

The sound quality of the GravaStar Mars Pro is truly pristine. The base is very deep, and the music plays out clearly with rich sound quality. Regardless if you’re using it to listen to music, play video games, or watch movies, it gives a very immersive and comfortable experience.
With that being said, the speaker works best at a close range, using it with your computer at your desk. It’s not quite strong enough to fill out a whole living room so if you’re looking to get a speaker for your TV, this is not the one to go for. Likewise, it’s a bit too heavy to take on the go. This speaker is a computer companion through and through.
It also has a slight delay when you use it to play video games. For the most part, you won’t notice it, but with games that rely more on sound, like rhythm games or FPS games you may find that it’s not as accurate as you need to play properly. That being said, if you connect the speaker with a physical cable, there’s no delay at all.
The Battery

I found that the speaker could be used for over 17 hours without running out of battery. This may be subject to change as the device will drain more battery when the volume is higher but overall, it’s can go a good amount of time without needing to be charged.
In terms of getting recharged, it took approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes for the speaker to go back up to full battery. It’s a bit of a wait but I suppose the fact that it lasts so long without charging balances it out.
Closing Thoughts
The GravaStar Mars Pro is certainly a unique little speaker. The alien design certainly makes it stand out, and the crystal clear sound quality makes it a great device for belting out your favorite tunes.
That being said, it is very much made with a specific audience in mind. It’s meant to be a personal speaker, to sit on your desk or gaming set up and immerse the user in a small room of sound. It’s not really strong enough to be connected to larger shared devices and it’s a little too heavy to comfortably bring places.
Still, if you’re looking for a cute little droid to guard your PC while also bringing you the rifts of the latest Guilty Gear Album, this is certainly a speaker worth looking into.

The Mario Movie Brings Back The Super Mario Bros Super Show Rap

The Super Mario Bros movie has revealed a new teaser trailer at the Super Bowl and it brings back the Mario Rap from the Super Mario Bros Super Show. It’s great.

This is clearly meant to be an in-universe ad for Mario and Luigi’s plumbing service and it is a pretty well-animated one. You can even see the green screen they’re using clipping through at points for some extra authenticity.

To clarify a little the rap number comes from the 1989 Mario cartoon adaption, The Super Mario Bros Super Show.

If you haven’t heard about it, you’re not missing out on much, it wasn’t very good. The show featured the Mario Bros, plus Peach, I mean, Princess Toadstool, and Toad traveling across different worlds to stop the plans of the nefarious Bowser, excuse me again, King Koopa. It was very formulaic and filled with bad animation and pasta puns because Italians.

That being said, the rap number for the opening has reached a point of being so bad it’s good hence it being brought back. The show also contains some live actions scenes with WWE wrestler Captain Louis Vincent Albano playing Mario. While these also aren’t the best, there’s a great PSA where he tells kids they’ll go to hell before they die if they do drugs. Who says Nintendo was always child friendly?

What I wouldn’t give to hear Chris Pratt make this speech.

Dreams Universe review – A deep dive into Imagination

After a wait, Dreams Universe has finally, officially, launched 14 February 2020! We’ve given making worlds a shot before, so now we dive into playing the creations of others! Check out as we go through the creations of others below!

Introduction
Dreams Universe is a Playstation 4 exclusive developed by Media Molecule and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It’s a “game” where your imagination is the limit, for you to create various worlds of your liking. Be the artist, animator, composer, and a game developer of your own! Play horror games, sports, parkour, whatever on offer. With an idea, you can go anywhere! If you’re looking for inspiration, then just hop over to another person’s world.

Features and Gameplay
Dreams Universe is not strictly a game per se with all that talk of creation. It’s closer to a powerful software that you utilize to breathe life and make your wildest fantasies come true. Besides a nigh unlimited creation tool, as mentioned, you can check out the creations of others. It’s a sandbox theme park of sorts, with one area being your creation, and once you step outside, there’s so many rides out there to try. There’s a dizzying array of creations, from Final Fantasy VII, PT, the first generation Metal Gear Solid, Red Dead Redemption, GTA and whatever else, all created by other players.

A Sonic game.Trying out a FPS game.

Dreams doesn’t necessarily provide the best graphical fidelity for these creations, but the core gameplay essence is true. It cannot be stressed enough: a player with dedication and imagination to match can play around with the provided tools to their fullest potential. Trying out a user-created Metal Gear Solid certainly provided an entertaining time. You can’t attack the enemies, but it does a good job in playing up the stealth segments.

Metal Gear – Area Dock
Dreams is capable of resurrecting classic games, like the above Metal Gear Solid. The movement especially works just fine. When it comes to actual combat, the characters can only throw punches one at a time and precise movement is difficult.

There was a Tomb Raider game which seemed incomplete for now, as its current build seems primarily to be a platformer only. Likewise with a Spider-man game. Should they have more time to develop it with systems closer to their original games, they could certainly try to rival them!

Tomb Raider menu

For those who’ve recently seen the Sonic movie, Dreams Universe also has a 2D Sonic game for you to try! For platformers, the controls within Dreams works well enough, since the motions aren’t that complicated. There’s certainly fun to be had if you have lots of time to kill to try out the buffet of creations available. You can expect to spend a long time if you pick up the tools to work on a creation of your own.

While the tools in Dreams Universe is assuredly vast and flexible, they can’t account for every single use. Just providing an example with PT, a scary moment can be ruined because the tools do have their limits. As warned, creation will consume a lot of time within Dreams Universe, as it’s a sandbox teaching tool regarding the editor, but how quickly you can get used to it would vary from person to person.

When it comes to FPS games, Dreams Universe performs quite well. Trying out something a la Call of Duty‘s zombies mode, the shooting and bullets are smooth, which helps with the enjoyment. As updates roll out, any stutters and awkwardness would hopefully be ironed out as much as possible.

Wet n DeadMetal Gear Solid Snake vs Liquid Rex

Conclusion
As a whole, Dreams Universe is a satisfying “game” that is a powerful tool to make your wildest imaginations come true with its editor. As long as you know what you want and what to do, your imagination’s the limit in Dreams Universe. Be it creating something of your own or reliving the nostalgic past through another’s Dream, you can surely find it within this game.

The Quarry Preview – Panning for the specks of gold

The Quarry is the latest game from Supermassive Games known for their interactive horror titles launching 10 June 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and PC. The age-restricted Prologue is available on Youtube, which you can watch for another taster to the Things that await at Hackett’s Quarry Summer Camp.

When the sun goes down on the last night of summer camp, nine teenage counselors are plunged into an unpredictable night of horror. The only thing worse than the blood-drenched locals and creatures hunting them are the unimaginable choices you must make to help them survive.

I was given access to a preview build, a slice of what’s to come.

OPTIONS
As you fiddle around with the settings, all of them come with short descriptions which is nice. What is less nice is the fact they’re somewhat squirreled away on the lower left of the screen that I missed them on my first time. The game recommends a controller – as I was playing on a preview on PC – but I played with keyboard / mouse regardless.

Don’t Breathe: Default / Auto
Aim assist: Off / On / auto
Death rewind: On / Off
Colour blind setting: Off / Protanopia / Deuteranopia / Tritanopia

While there is the option to let the game automatically make decisions for you when toggled, this is completely disabled for the “Wolf Pack” occasions. I can’t precisely tell you what this mode is in the preview, but what’s important is that this is when you can still interact with the game outside of the automatic decisions and Movie Mode. Death rewind does as it suggests: you’ll be able to revert character deaths, though I did not have an occasion to use it.
Last but not least, you can review any tutorials you have previously unlocked at any point. However, I couldn’t seem to skip them so that was a little strange and bothersome when I just wanted a quick review. These look like educational cartoons, with the ones revealed in the menus include:

QTE
Combat
Don’t Breathe
Evidence
Interrupts
Path Chosen

PRESENTATION
The style is definitely there, with the comparatively ancient CRT monitor, the tape surveillance set up, a peek into the apparently suspicious camp counsellor’s office. I do like the start menu for setting the mood.
Motion capture reigns as usual and as usual, I think they’re pretty fine. I feel like there’s always a certain rigidity to them since human bodies can’t match the liquidity of drawings, but that’s just me. As the preview build, there were some occasions where I felt the rendering was a little off, which you can expect to be fixed as launch approaches.

As I alluded to earlier, the tutorial “videos” are akin to educational cartoons, which I’d say would fit in the Cuphead era, say, or them old Looney Tunes because that’s what they reminded me of. The colours are a sharp contrast to the realism of the main game, little bright, almost childish spots, narrated by some guy who sounds rather detached as he talks about needing to use a gun to protect yourself. You know, in a summer camp for teenagers, who don’t have the greatest handle on their hormones much less live firearms.
The Open Dyslexic font is the same one they use in The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes, though thanks to the font resizing, I find the default typeface easy to read too. Open Dyslexic’s font is spaced very widely, and I think it does break the reading speed and obscures a lot of the screen unfortunately. Speaking of the subtitles, a character was named when their dialogue appeared which felt like it could have been a spoiler since I hadn’t seen them before or watched the prologue, but it shouldn’t be an issue when you play through the game from the start.
GAMEPLAY
I won’t talk much about the story since I don’t think I’m wrong in saying this is essentially 90% of the point of the game, and it was only a slice of teens being a mix of awkward, dumb and painfully heterosexual with the tension just very subtly building up with a Something in the background unfortunately not here for their idea of a fun time.

I can’t say how different it is from the games in Supermassive’s prolific repertoire from a modest preview, but at the very least, if you’ve played one game, the general flow is essentially the same with the difference being the story. As you might expect, there are numerous paths and branches you may find yourself going down on. All the while, you may observe some clues to tell you the story of Hackett’s Quarry, the Tarot from which you may ask to get visions of the future, and even a map and the locations within. Even from the preview, it feels like there’s so much more to The Quarry, that tantalizing “something” I have to wait for. Try rope someone in with couch co-op, or Movie Mode, the latter I couldn’t try out.
Much like the previous games, dialogue choices, actions and interruptions can alter how characters may perceive you. This game’s “future sight” feel much easier to pick up now, as in the camera does pull you directly to the card with a prompt to pick up – at least, for the settings I had on. I suppose it’s because you don’t directly get the vision as yet, as checking them in the menu only provides a somewhat jovial, if ominous, reading of the associated arcana.

As for the “locking in” of Paths, these only seem to apply during the mandatory time-sensitive choices. This is a highly appreciated design, as the Auto toggles may do something you hadn’t intended to do, while still giving you the opportunity to “choose your path”, as it were.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Really, as a preview, it felt way too short to get a proper “feel” of the game, and I wasn’t able to see just how much my choices could affect the game. Is it intriguing? Definitely. How good will it be? I’ll have to wait to decide.
I’ll just look forward to see where the ride takes me, and perhaps, strike gold instead of stone.

Japan-based game developer ENDROLL has just open pre-registration for Micro Vibration of Galapagos, its upcoming AR game for the Android and iOS platforms. This is going to be a full-priced title, although if you pre-register now, you will be entitled to a rather hefty discount.

For first some story things – the year is 2005, and it is the time when the postal service in Japan became privatised, while drama Nobuta wo Produce became a household hit. We are introduced to Isobe, a third-year high school student who is in the midst of updating his diary as the cultural festival looms. Fast forward into the future and Isobe is now a jaded 33-year old who is envious of his high-achieving former classmates. As Isobe contemplates life, he is sent back into the past. A mysterious organisation known simply as “Butterfly Rescue”, sent our protagonist into the past and granted him an opportunity to alter the past to shape his present. Little else is known about this enigmatic entity.

Disney Mirrorverse will release on June 23rd, but you can pre register for it now on iOS and Android devices ahead of its release.
Rather than grab your favorite Disney Characters through a portal a la Heroes of the Storm, Disney Mirrorverse instead features alternate universes that mix them with a dash of more modern fantasy- Belle is now a powerful mage, while characters like Sully from Monsters Inc is a powerful warrior clad in Scare-Tech armor.

You’ll build parties of up to three of these Guardians, engaging in different types of missions where you’ll have them do battle against evil Fractured forces to defend a magic mirror:

STORY MODE: Immerse yourself in an original storyline of tasks and quests to complete–experience the story of the Mirrorverse and the Ages of Isolation, Discovery, and the Fractured.
STORY QUESTS: Updated every few months, new chapters to the main Story Quest or side stories featuring select heroes and villains will be constantly added for players to battle through and compete.
EVENT QUESTS: Players can participate in limited-time quests that tie into real-world Disney and Pixar-inspired content and events, and offer unique characters, awards, and progression items during a specific timeframe.
ALLIANCE MISSIONS: Join an Alliance and work together to complete event milestones and earn great rank-based rewards by competing against other Alliances.
TOWER OF TROUBLES: Players climb through progressively harder encounters while using a themed team of Guardians to earn progression items.
DANGEROUS DUNGEONS: Players compete against other players and alliances worldwide in ever-changing dungeons to earn progression items and other unique awards.

All Your Favorites Reimagined

Naturally, the big draw of Disney Mirrorverse is its assortment of reimagined Disney characters in the form of MIrrorverse Guardians. These aren’t just your standard characters like Buzz Lightyear or Elsa, either- characters you’d never have thought to see in an action-RPG make their appearance here as well, such as Scrooge McDuck or even Judy Hopps from Zootopia
It’s not just heroes either- Disney Villains are recruitable too, such as the powerful Maleficent or even the charismatic Scar to really give your roster something to show off.
Disney says they’ll be planning a monthly content release schedule for the game, so even if your favorite isn’t part of the launch roster don’t be surprised if they get added to the game shortly after.

ROG Flow Z13 Review – The little tablet that absolutely can

The ROG Flow Z13 has been branding itself a gaming tablet that can play AAA games, uncompromising in its performance and portability. That said though, can it live up to such lofty ambitions?

DESIGN
The box itself is separated into 3 parts: first, a protective case for the tablet with the emblazoned ROG designs, made from a scratch-resistant material. Then, a silver box that houses a 100W Type-C fast charging charger and the ROG Chakram Core, before the tablet itself. It looks quite high-tech, befitting its entire premise.

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Built with CNC-machined aluminum, the ROG Flow Z13’s overall design screams Future Tech, Sci-Fi, and all that. The glass space window is especially fetching, through which you can see the internals of the tablet with accompanying RGB lighting effects. It reminds me of a spaceship really. Looking closer, you might wonder about the numbers that line the tablet. These are actually “Easter eggs”, showing the location of the ASUS HQ in Taiwan, and the ROG brand’s launch date in simple cipher.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

More practically speaking, maybe it’s a little much to expect a full range of I/O ports, but considering it’s a tablet, it gets more of a pass. The left is lined with a Thunderbolt 4 port, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and speakers, while the right has a fingerprint recognition power button, volume button, USB 2.0 Type-A, 3.5mm headphone jack, and smart speakers. It can be expanded with the XG Mobile external dock, but this review will be focusing on the tablet exclusively.
FIRST LOOK
From dimensions alone at 30.2cm x 20.4cm x 1.2cm, it’s hardly any different from similar tablets on the market. However, it is slightly heavier at 1.18kg due to packing a 14-core 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900H processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Ti 4GB GDDR6 with Intel Iris Xe graphics. For the record, the processor is the fastest and most powerful mini processor on the market at its release, so the weight is a reasonable tradeoff.
The tablet has a support stand that is adjustable up to 170 degrees, made of metal and pretty solid. The back itself has some discreet parts where the right corner holds the SSD should you want to replace it, and in the middle-left is the Micro SD card slot.

Utilizing Windows OS, that means playing your regular PC library is super easy, just needing you to get the launcher, download the game, what have you. It’s also Windows 11, featuring optimized touch screen utility with the directional swipes: access the Widgets from the left, Notifications from the right, bottom right to make various setting tweaks, that kind of thing.

Of course, we can’t forget about the whole visual experience you can get on this 13.4-inch IPS, 120Hz FHD screen. 16:10 means you can enjoy a wider screen too. For other functions, you get a 720P HD front lens which doesn’t work very well in low light but functional, while you have a 8MP lens for the back.
FUNCTIONALITY
As befitting a tablet, the ROG Flow Z13 comes with the ASUS Pen. To make it more like a mini computer, a POGO Pin connector under the tablet is where you can attach the ASUS Flow magnetic keyboard. Not only does it have RGB lighting, it feels much like a mechanical keyboard that makes it comfortable to use. The keyboard somewhat doubles up as a protective case when you fold it, with the tablet going into hibernation mode when you shut it that way. The back of the keyboard is this fabric that does make it easier to dirty with difficult clean-up, unfortunately.
Coating the processor with Liquid Metal thermal paste, as well as dual ARC Flow fans and thermal equalization plate between CPU and GPU, this ensures balanced heat dissipation so no hotplate one would say.

Supporting all the hardware is the Armoury Crate App for you to tweak the settings and modes. Silent Mode works as promised, the tablet whirring away quietly. This mode isn’t very good for gaming though, as the temperature will start climbing. Expect hot spots around the middle and top of the back of the tablet, since that’s where the processor and graphics card is.
Conversely, Performance Mode gives the tablet a performance boost, and you can make it go Turbo for intelligent overclocking of the CPU and GPU when you pair it up with the charger. This is how you’d probably do most of your gaming or creative editing. You still will be able to play games without charger, but it will require a compromise in graphical quality.
THE WORKHORSE TEST
Packing the RTX 3050 Ti, the ROG Flow Z13 means it gets all of NVIDIA’s latest features in DLSS, RTX, Reflect and others, in addition to ROG’s MUX Switch that greatly reduces the lag in your games thanks to directly delivering that performance to the screen.
3D MARK: 4,725

Ultra, charging, DLSS on, Performance mode.
APEX LEGENDS
At highest quality settings, hitting 80 FPS is not a problem.
High, DLSS off, Performance mode.
Overall, you can expect 30 FPS on average. As mentioned, if you don’t plug in the charger, the game quality has to be sacrificed. Low Quality will allow for 30 FPS, though more demanding games will dip further to 20 FPS. Whenever I remember this is basically a tablet, such performance can rival or be better than some laptops.
While we’re talking about charging, the battery has 56Whrs of power. On Silent mode, Youtube at 50% volume and 80% brightness, the tablet will last 5-6 hours. Lower the brightness further for longer battery life. Performance mode, with keyboard and mouse, meanwhile, will burn the battery through within 1-2 hours.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
As promised, the ROG Flow Z13 can basically is, hands down, an amazing machine in terms of design and hardware. The glass window design is especially fetching and is sure to grab attention.

It’s lightweight and easy to carry, the flexibility is definitely one of, if not the, main selling point. Draw it in tablet mode, connect the accessories for laptop mode, or simply use it as a secondary screen. If you didn’t quite want a laptop, but wanted something that matches a computer’s performance, then the ROG Flow Z13 can be your best bet.

Netmarble launches another MMORPG, TERA M in Korea!

First announced in August, TERA M is one of the most-anticipated MMORPG from Netmarble which it is based on the popular PC MMORPG TERA. Featuring the impressive art-style and worldview from the PC version, the game is now available for free (with in-app purchase) in South Korea for iOS and Android!

TERA M is a prequel that takes place 1000 years before TERA. Other than the familiar races from TERA such as Elin and Castanic, the mobile version also features a Popori exclusive class – Alchemist. The combat system emphasizes on non-targeting combat and the holy trinity (DPS, Tank and Healer) concept, so forming a right combination of teams according to the situation will be one of the important factors to win (no healing portions is allowed during combat!). Also, there will be a massive open world full of PvE and real-time PvP content, while guild sieges, costumes and mounts are all available in the mobile version.

Lemon Sky Studios has a storied history of working in Triple A games, producing high-quality assets for games shipped internationally.
Prior to Demon’s Souls Remastered, the studio had also worked on Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, as well as Marvel’s Avengers.
They don’t just produce 3D assets though, as they’d also done animation work on remasters like Blizzard’s Warcraft 3 Reforged.
Lemon Sky had previously spoken at Level Up KL 2020 about what it’s like producing assets for Triple-A games, saying it was about building trust with a client.
Demon’s Souls Remastered is a ground-up remake of the original Soulsborne, Demon’s Souls. It’s available as a launch title on the PS5, launching today.
