Anno 1800: Eden Burning will launch 14 December

Anno 1800 has teased the arrival of its Season 4 pass, while also announcing the launch of Eden Burning, its UNEP Choice Award-winning game mode, for 14 December. The city builder game from Ubisoft will release three DLCs as part of Season 4.

In Eden Burning, Anno 1800 players will get to challenge a rogue-like mechanic, teaching players the dangers of an exploitative economy for the environment. It first debuted during the 2021 Green Game Jam, where players must finish an industrial project without destroying their ecosystem, and also weigh between renewable and non-renewable resources along the way. Sustainable practices will see the best results, but let’s see if you can get there depending on how your choices positively – or negatively – impact the environment. Eden Burning will be part of the 14 December, free Game Update 13. In Season 4, at least one new Scenario will be released alongside each of the three new DLC.

Additionally, Anno 1800 is partnering with Ecologi, a social enterprise funding reforestation and other carbon reduction projects. The 14 December update will allow players to buy the Plant A Tree DLC to receive a new ornamental tree for their cities. A minimum of $1 per DLC purchase will be forwarded to Ecologi. The campaign ends 31 March 2022, upon which the DLC will be removed from the in-game store. Existing owners will keep their tree, which will be given away for free later 2022.

“The Anno team believes it is crucial to protect our planet and take action to address climate change. Taking part in the Green Game Jam earlier this year and winning the UNEP Choice Award was a real honor for us. We are happy that we can now bring this concept to life in our latest free game update and show how video games can play a role in teaching players about environmental issues.”
Marcel Hatam, International Brand Manager, Anno series, Ubisoft Mainz
Last but not least, Anno 1404 History Edition will be free as part of Ubisoft’s 35th Anniversary celebrations from 6 – 14 December.

AnimeFest Cosplayer Attacked As Cops Obsess More Over What She Was Wearing

Cosplayer Pudds attended AnimeFest this past weekend, though found the police largely unhelpful when she tried to lodge a police report against a stalker at the event.

The stalker was reportedly causing a lot of trouble at AnimeFest, having been a creep around various cosplayers and even attacking Pudds.

After going to the authorities as per conventional advice, Pudds says that the cops instead decided to victim blame her and call it a consequence of the way she was dressed.
“The officer told me “u pakai macam ni, jual gambar macam ni, ini adalah consequences you.” “You pun juga salah”. Tiba2 event kena stalk kena slut shame buy1free1“, she says on her Twitter.

— Pudds 👻 (@deadpudds) May 17, 2022

MalaysiaKini reports that the officer who made the remarks is since under probe, since making fun of someone you’re supposed to be listening to is traditionally frowned upon even if they’re a cosplayer at AnimeFest.
Conventions And Harassment
As Malaysia ramps back into full convention scale, unfortunately so too will the number of harassment reports at these events.
Big events will typically have a zero-tolerance approach to any kind of sexual harassment, even moreso to assault, and it’s advised to report such cases to the organizers of the event.
Meanwhile for the non-cosplayers it’s also important to remember that even though someone’s dressed like your favorite fictional character, they are still a person, and get to set the rules about what you can and can’t do around them including taking photos.
As for condescending cops, the EAIC has a misconduct form you can use to report them though you will need information such as the ID number of the officer.

Unity and ironSource Partnership Chastised By All Corners Of The Internet

Popular game dev engine Unity has come under fire after announcing their partnership with ironSource, with many developers angry at the latter’s unsavory reputation.

We're thrilled to announce that we have entered into an agreement to merge with ironSource to accelerate a unique end-to-end platform that powers creators’ success! Learn more on our blog. https://t.co/bYpc1WmgFa

— Unity for Games (@unitygames) July 13, 2022

For those not in the know, IronSource is a documented developer of Adware, including the IronCore software which targets Macs.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Based on Unity’s description in a blogpost, that ability to put ads might be the direct reason for the merger, as they highlight the company as being an expert of marketing and monetization.
“ironSource’s suite of tools and solutions provides the majority of the world’s top games and many of the leading non-gaming apps with the monetization, marketing, analytics, and discovery capabilities they need to build and run scalable app-based businesses”, Unity says.
It should be noted that their premier product, InstallCore, is actually recognized as malicious- programs like Windows Defender and Malwarebytes will not allow you to run it.
Over on Twitter, game developers have been promoting alternative development software as a sign of protest, with an 828-328 ratio (quote retweets to likes).
“This comes after recent lay-offs and tons of internal mismanagement, things are not looking good for Unity“, writes Giuseppe Navarria, Tech Design Director at Splash Damage.
Another indie dev by the username E1ven_Lord also tweeted his frustrations, saying he’d opt to change engines entirely.
“Holy shit. Wow. This is unprecedented and incredibly worrying with what the company Unity is attempting to merge with is like. Guess I have to move to Unreal”, he writes.
Many are even taking the opportunity to promote Godot- an open source game development engine.

Affray is now a Silver-level sponsor of @godotengine foreseeably. We believe in their mission and that the need for a capable, open-sourced engine is becoming increasingly needed over time.
We can't wait to see where Godot gets in the future. 💫#gamedev #indiedev #opensource pic.twitter.com/evHHqzPfS3

Finance World Reacts To Unity Buying IronSource

Of course, it’s not just people on Twitter unhappy with the decision- Unity’s stock has also seen a plummet today, down 6.9 points (17.39%) since the announcement was made this morning, and a total of 8.31 points (20.20%) in the past 5 days.
Considering it’s the stock market we’re talking about, it might not be a moral objection to IronSource that’s tanking the Unity stock- PC Gamer reports that Unity is shelling out 4.4 billion dollars for the developer, and the share price might be indicative of investors thinking the company is being overvalued. Considering the company has faced layoffs after another high-profile purchase, this theory holds water.

Apex Legends Mobile May See Localization in Different Languages in SouthEast Asia

Popular battle royale game Apex Legends Mobile may be seeing localization across the SouthEast Asia region.

In an interview for Gamescom Asia between GamerBrave’s own Sean Lim and Liam McClure, Head of Creative Strategy & Player Engagement Asia at Electronic Arts, McClure states that Apex Legends will “definitely” get localized into “different languages across SouthEast Asia”.

The interview in general spoke about Apex Legends in the Asian market and the importance of localization and connecting to different audiences in different regions.

“Localization obviously speaks to language in-game, whether it’d be menus, whether it’d be video but then also to the content as well and I think with the mobile space there are more opportunities for us to understand what content we can put together that will resonate within a region. Off the top of my head, if we had a game in India, perhaps we could create some festival-related content specific to India. It’s really understanding how we show up as a brand and that our players can see themselves in our titles” says Liam McClure
The interview goes on to talk about the influence of a Mobile port and how it could enhance the PC version, the game’s success in Asian markets like Japan, and even V-tubers (they even talk about events they’ve held with characters like Haru Shibuya).
So does this mean that we could see Apex Legends Mobile get a localization across Southeast Asia in languages like Malay, Thai, Filipino, and others? We have no proper confirmation so far but based on McClure’s words indefinitely on the table.
Apex Legends is available for PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
Apex Legends Mobile will release for iOS and Android in 2022. Check out our impression of the latest beta test of the game.

Guardian and Sasquatch enter the Contest of Champions!

MARVEL Contest of Champions introduces two new Champions arriving to the popular mobile brawler in Guardian and Sasquatch! With them is also the debut of an all-new motion comic to tease their arrival to the game. Here is a quick look at what the Contest has in store this upcoming month:

A strange smuggling ring is moving Crystals around The Battlerealm and has caught the attention of two members of Canada’s Alpha Flight, Guardian and Sasquatch! They set out to investigate this phenomenon, though unbeknownst to them, a mysterious benefactor is watching as they dig deeper into the unknown.

What are the intentions of this mysterious person and what do they plan to do with these Crystals? Join up with the team of Canadian Champions as they work together to unravel the mystery, and maybe find a house hippo or two along the way!

Guardian and Sasquatch will be heading to the game sometime this month.

In his earlier days, James Hudson worked for Am-Can as a petrochemical engineer. When he discovered the company’s deep-seated corruption, Hudson left immediately, stealing his latest invention: a super-suit primed to search for underground oil deposits. Fleeing the consequences of his actions, Hudson became Guardian, the founding member of Canada’s elite team of superhumans known as the Alpha Flight, defenders of the True North!

Dr. Walter Langkowski was a professor of both physics and biophysics at McGill University. Trying to achieve a “Hulk-like” transformation similar to colleague Bruce Banner, Langkowski subjected himself to self-experimentation with gamma radiation. Unknowingly opening a doorway between our world and the “Realm of Great Beasts” Langkowski allowed a mystical beast named “Tanaraq” to invade his body, granting him the ability to transform into a super-strong, orange-haired beast that resembled the legendary Sasquatch!

English version for Bang Dream! to be released soon

Bushiroad announced that it will be releasing an English version of its popular mobile rhythm game Bang Dream! which is currently in the works. Not entirely surprising, since Bushiroad’s Love Live franchise was also localised soon after its Japanese release.

Localisation work will be taken care by Ambition, which previously had experience developing the Bungo Stray Dogs mobile game. Ambition will be handling translation tasks and have it running in unspecified “English-speaking regions”. No further details were disclosed at this point in time.

International fans would likely recognize the gameplay from Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 instead of its original Japanese title. The game was released for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 30 back in December 2012, and Wii U in January 2013. Hokuto Musou itself was the Japanese title for Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage, for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in March 2010. Whether or not this announcement is for a port, or for a tangentially related title is currently unknown.

[TpGS 2019] The Division 2 – An interview with the Senior Game Designer, James Norris

Ahead of the release of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 this March, we were lucky to be able to have an interview with the Senior Game Designer of The Division 2, James Norris at TpGS 2019. He has told us many new details on the game content and the changes made from the first Division.

James Norris, the Senior Game Designer of The Division 2
Battle-royale is one of the most common features in shooter games now, but James Norris tell us that it is not coming to The Division 2 yet. However compared to the first title, some significant changes have been made for the Dark Zone in The Division 2. There will be 3 dark zones now instead of one, and the gear will be normalized (so everyone will have a similar level) to create a more fair play environment. For those who like the old Dark Zone, there is also an Occupied Dark Zone where you can get really competitive with your best gears.

When asked whether personal shooting skills or teamwork bring more benefit in the game, James Norris thinks that it all depends on the players’ play style. Some like to be in the frontlines, while some love to stay back and be a sharpshooter. Shooting skill is of course important in a third-person shooter like The Division 2, but good teamwork is going to help you out a lot too.
The new Rogue system is having different levels of Rogue status, which means you can go rogue if you want to, you can steal chests or take away your allies’ loot instead of taking care of them. But these have consequences. As you build up your Rogue status, you will be disavowed and people will come to hunt you down. You can go into a Thieves’ Den to reset your status for a bonus.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You also can go full Rogue and trigger the Manhunt status. By this, everybody would know you are a Rogue, they will know where you are. You can get bigger rewards if you successfully killed those who came to hunt you down, but if you died, you will lose everything you have including all the EXP and the passive abilities you gained as you level up.
After considering the communities’ feedback, the Dark Zone is now smaller so there is a higher possibility of running into other players. There will be 3 brand new factions for The Division 2 –  the Outcasts, the Hyenas and the True Sons with their unique strengths and weaknesses. According to James Norris, the AI is now cleverer too, it would be a challenging task to counter them.

Regarding the server issue, James Norris says that they have improved the infrastructure at Ubisoft a lot as well as working with third-party companies to ensure serviceability. He emphasises that The Division 2 will be more stable than The Division 1.
While on the cheating issues, Ubisoft has made improvements on their own in-house cheat detection and server, so there will be less possibility for data modification. They will keep a close watch on the issues when the game is live as well. Toxicity was a big concern in the first Division, and James Norris tells us that this time they are going to disable VoIP of those toxic players so they can’t talk.

Other than these, The Division 2 will be having a Clan system of 50 players, each player will be able to bring 4 characters in a clan. There will be Clan rewards, it will be easier for you to find a group to go on raids too. Also, we can’t inherit the skins from The Division 1 to The Division 2.
No stealth play is available in The Division 2, but you can sneak and get close to other players or AI enemies quietly if you are careful enough. Aside from Hyenas, True Sons and Outcasts, there might be some other factions as well but James Norris says he can’t tell us now. Maybe we will get some surprising announcements soon?

Lastly, James Horris tells us that they are still on the universe of the Division, so we can assume that The Division 2 will not be the last title in the series. The Division 2 will have its worldwide launch for PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 15, don’t miss out the game if you are interested! You can visit the official site for more details.

Pre-registration for Noblesse M opens

Game publisher Netplay has just opened pre-registration for the English language version for its latest roleplaying game Noblesse M, which will be available for the Android and iOS platforms. Users from Singapore (and by extension Malaysia) can now pre-register for rewards for when the game goes fully live. We are not sure what the rewards entail, but you can be sure that they will be giving you a hand when you start.

For the uninitiated, Noblesse M is adapted from famous manhwa Noblesse. In this action RPG, players will be able to recruit key characters from the manhwa such as Raizel, Frekenstein, M-21 and Shinwoo. In addition to the story mode, you will be able to go through the several dungeon modes, either alone or against others. There is also an arena where you will be able to showcase your abilities. Once you have mastered game mechanics, you will be able to partake in boss raids with other players.

Blue Archive global pre-registrations open 14 October

The official Blue Archive global Twitter account has announced the start of pre-registrations for 14 October 2021. Going by the Japanese release, Blue Archive global pre-registrations should likely include the following milestone rewards:

10,000: 50,000 x Credits
30,000: 100 x gems
70,000: 200 x gems
100,000: 300 x gems
150,000: 600 x gems
200,000: 2-star Junko

We’ll have to see if they decide to have any bonus rewards and / or global exclusive items, and hopefully does not suffer a delay much like its Japanese release. There’s no hint with regards to its release window, which players should likely expect for early 2022. The Twitter account looks like it’ll be having the occasional giveaway campaigns besides introductions to the various students and the world they’re in, so might as well follow them to keep up with the news.

A headset optimized for esports – Razer BlackShark V2 / BlackShark V2 X

Dubbing itself the definitive esports gaming headset, we have the Razer BlackShark V2 duo: in the V2, and the cheaper BlackShark V2 X. The original BlackShark sees an update, while retaining its design and the features that made it renowned in the first place. This time, it’s also paired with THX Spatial Audio, introducing THX Game Profiles for the first time, for custom-tuned profiles specifically designed for your favourite titles.

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

BlackShark V2
AT A GLANCE
The Razer BlackShark V2 comes with these key features:

Razer TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers
Razer HyperClear Cardioid mic
Advanced passive noise cancellation
Ultra-soft breathable memory foam ear cushions
THX Spatial Audio
Cross-platform compatibility

HEADSET IN USE
The first time you connect the BlackShark V2, it will open up Razer Gaming Software, which will let you select the apps that are compatible with the headset, which would include Razer Chroma, Synapse, and the like. There isn’t any RGB lighting with the BlackShark V2, however, so the RGB options are unnecessary. The Synapse menus would be the only consideration to have in this case, to fiddle with the equalizers according to your needs. The audio is well-balanced with its automatic settings, and you’re still free to customize the levels as you want.
Follow us on Twitter

The design itself is kept nice and minimalistic, with tasteful green highlights in the wires and iconic Razer logo and entirely in black otherwise. As promised, the headset is very comfortable, with one problem: the earcups. Depending on your ears, the foam can be too large and your ears can sink into it, turning the breathable foam into something muggy and uncomfortable. You might need to fold your ears some if yours are too big. The headband isn’t a problem at all, being easily adjusted to the head.
With the fit out of the way, we come to the main part: the sound quality. To put it very simply: it’s crystal clear. It’ll be hard to describe it much further, but you can listen to the sample with THX Spatial Audio below:

THX GAME PROFILES

THX Game Profile is the latest feature to be added to THX Spatial Audio, an add-on service to provide you custom-tuned profiles designed accordingly to the games you play. Two modes are available:

THX Environmental Mode – realistically places sound around you based on each game’s environment to maximize your immersive experience and transport you into the game.
THX Competitive Mode – maximizes spatial awareness allowing you to better locate friend and foe relative to your position. This can give you an unfair advantage in combat scenarios.

You can get a taste of this sound optimization for yourself below:

Through the THX App, audiophiles can have a field day to tweak every little setting to their exacting preferences. As such, general hobbyists can just slip on the BlackShark V2 (or its X variant) and let the automatic settings give them their best soundscape yet, or enthusiasts and pros can fine-tune the equalizer for their min-max requirements.

BlackShark V2 X
VERDICT
Razer knocks it out of the park once again with an incredible set of gaming headphones. If you have the budget to spare, at RM599, the regular BlackShark V2 is an easy pick, or the X version RM349. The only problem is pretty much the earcup material, which you would have to judge for yourself. The Razer BlackShark V2 will be available from 3 August 2020 in stores.

The manga follows a fairly familiar plot for the genre. A village in Penang is being demolished, so three schools girls come up with the idea to become idols and perform in a local contest.

It’s a fairly simple story and moves a little fast but it works well as a proof of concept. The manga gives you a good idea of the main leads and the trials one has to face in going from everyday school girl to becoming an idol. I do like the part where the two girls are just sitting down after deciding to become idols and realizing they have no clue how to start but they eventually make it.
We actually did an interview with Yore Productions, the 3D animation team behind Project Dreamcatcher. They’re currently working on a music video for the project. It’s pretty ambitious for a smaller indie company to take on an idea like this but the results so far have been interesting and a Malaysian idol group has a lot of potential.
We wish them the best of luck!

The reason why is because he sees the championship as the best platform for virtual racers to prove that gamers can establish themselves in real-life motorsports successfully as well. Besides that, Axle Motorsport chose SEA because it is a region where eSports are currently on the rise.

With eSports rising in SEA, Axle Motorsport view it as an opportunity for the growth of eRacing to become one of the top eSport games in the world. So, to those professional car racer wannabes, you can develop your skills to be one through PlayStation.

On top of that, the top 40 contestants from the tournament will be arranged to professional driver coaches where they will be trained to become real race car drivers! That’s like killing two birds with one stone if you are really good in racing games like Grand Turismo Sport and yearns to be a pro racing driver.
The qualifier will be a time trial match where participants are required to take part in the venue to proof your legitimacy in June however no further information about time and date of the qualifier is released yet. Moreover, VR might be incorporated in the later phases of the Grand Prix to make it more realistic and interesting.

The first Grand Prix will be held in Malaysia before heading to the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand. The winner of each country stop will be trained and offered a spot in Formula 4 South East Asia Championship (F4SEA) as the first step before making their way to becoming a professional racing drive. The date for it has yet to be announced so stay tuned for more updates.

“Chrono Cross Remastered, I think, was already on the Nvidia leak list, so the game shouldn’t be a surprise – it was on Nvidia’s list. But I was told that that VGC article is about Chrono Cross Remastered,”
“What else I was told—because everyone’s working under the assumption that it’s a PlayStation exclusive—I’ve been told that it’s not. The only word that was used was ‘multiplat’.
“Now, when I hear JRPG and multiplat, I automatically assume PC, PlayStation, Switch, that’s my assumption. That’s not what I was told, that’s just my assumption. All my source said to me was ‘multiplat’. That’s what they said, they told me it wasn’t PlayStation exclusive.”
“But I think there’s confusion because it says that PlayStation is set to announce it, so everyone just works under the assumption that PlayStation is announcing something that would exclusive, which they don’t always do. Pragmata isn’t exclusive, they’ve announced plenty of stuff.
“But again, I don’t know if Xbox is one of those platforms. I work under the assumption that it’s not because it’s a JRPG.”
Chrono Cross was originally released for the PS1 as a loose sequel to the Super Nintendo RPG Chrono Trigger. It has since been ported to the PS3/PSP PlayStation Classics but is yet to be available on any modern console.

Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT, mobile game coming 2022

In a hardly surprising announcement, the Black Rock Shooter franchise will be getting a mobile game titled Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT. Black Rock Shooter FRAGMENT will be launching in Japan sometime Fall 2022, brought to you by Good Smile Company and G2 Studios. Its associated official website and Twitter account has been established, for you to check on updates for.

The franchise spawning from an illustration by huke is celebrating its tenth anniversary, with a new anime project – called Dawnfall, coming April 2022 – also in the works besides this mobile game. It was a matter of time considering the popularity of mobile games and franchises releasing these titles as part of their anniversaries in Japan.

Staff listed for the game project has been helpfully provided in English and roman letters, which includes:

Scenario / script writer: Ichiro Sakaki, Okina Kamino
Design direction: huke
Teaser visual: Rui Tomono
Logo design: Hiroto Sugawara

The game’s story will take place in the 22nd century, where you will have a fateful encounter with a girl whose eyes burn with blue flame as you begin to fight back against some hostile force. There’s no hint of what the game would actually be like for now, so you’ll have to stay tuned for that. The English BRS portal hasn’t mentioned this title, presumably as there’s no plans for a global release yet, while the Japanese site does.

Riders Republic Review – Me, my bike, and a prayer for my spine

After a few hurdles, Riders Republic from Ubisoft Annecy launched 28 October 2021 to extreme sports enthusiasts on Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and PC. We’ve given it a try in an earlier closed beta, as well as having had an interview with Manfred Neber, the game’s lead designer. Well, let’s not keep the trails untouched, and get right into the open world that awaits.

Crashing spectacularly.
STARTING OUT
Strictly speaking, Riders Republic does not have a “story” that you might expect from most games. You do have a few recurring characters, like Suki who welcomes you to the Republic, Brett being one of the “OG”s, being one of the founders, and the like, but for the most part, you embark on a career path of the sport of your choice, and hit the ground running.

The options in the game is basically the same as the closed beta session, except with all of the settings available to tweak where relevant. There’s a handy bar showing your VRAM capacity depending on the graphics settings you’re using. There’s also benchmarking available when you actually load up the game world. Unfortunately, benchmarking isn’t available from the main menu or while you’re in a race or activity.

You’re recommended to play with a controller, but I didn’t have a compatible one on me for PC. The keybinds are at least highly customizable and auto-landing takes off some complications. However, there remains a learning curve.
PRESENTATION
The blend of these national parks is honestly stunning, the effects remaining still quite good despite needing to play on Low / Medium settings so as not to blow up the PC I was playing on. Of course, the various issues like “popping” will be more obvious, besides the less detailed textures, with this lower preset. With features fully loaded, my elderly PC is waving its surrender.
I’d say what’s more importance is the sense of scale, and no amount of blockiness can detract from the feeling of challenging and conquering nature itself.

Thanks to the contrast provided by the snow, the smaller touches are more obvious in that terrain: the tracks your skis or body make as you move around, the snow sticking to your pants, and such. The world map suffers the most from the lack of graphical fidelity: 3D mode tries to render the terrain, and it just doesn’t look great. That aside, the basically seamless loading between areas impresses me as much as ever, letting you quickly get on the next race.

As an always-online multiplayer game, you will come across other players in the overworld. If another game would let me meet some guy in his boxers, wearing nothing else but a floppy giraffe head towering above me, and his rocket wings / wing suit that look like cardboard thanks to his equipped cosmetics, please direct me to it. What a wonderful world. As for me, it’s the return of Bread Pitt, with optional stylish glasses and / or hoodies. Yes, I ignored all the customization just to repeat the joke.
The absolute legend in the flesh.
There’s some measure of collision with other players in Mass Races. When it comes to playing with AI, I couldn’t quite tell, at least for Standard difficulty.
GAMEPLAY
The core gameplay has not changed from the closed beta, wherein you participate in races, level up, further your career in a sport and unlock a whole bunch of equipment and other events along the way. Stars will be obtainable from participating and / or completing events, with side objectives offering even more stars. For whatever event you’ve unlocked, you’ll be able to fast travel to a nearby spot and make your way over. You can run the events solo against AI whose difficulty you can set, or in multiplayer, where you can also inspect a fellow rider’s gear at the end.

You’ll be able to unlock “weirder” challenges, such as the Shackdaddy Bandits Events, where you might have to traverse a course with some delivery bike, among other things. Sponsorship stuff offers you exclusive items when you complete challenges from a certain brand. Or simply head over to some activity areas, where you might be tasked to perform some stunts, for one.
If you need a break from high octane racing, make your way over to some Landmarks instead. These will initially appear as question marks on your map, so it’s up to you to ride on over. Once there, you’ll watch a brief cinematic of said landmark, with an informative paragraph. This also lets you earn stars for more progression. I tried to climb up a hill as though I were playing Skyrim, only to see my hopes dashed when I unceremoniously slid down a cliff face with a loud thud. If you want more instant travel, some in-game cash can get you a helicopter to drop you off.

Of course, I had to try out the Mass Races for myself. You’ll be thrown into a round with players of ALL levels, so don’t be surprised to see some 300++ star player in the same area as your poor 17 star self. There were 3 rounds to one that I tried, with both ground and air segments. I massively struggle with any in-air sections, and basically gave up after slamming into the same tree 10 times and did not want to fight the auto-backtracking. Fortunately, a round will end when someone reaches the finish, leaving another 30-40 seconds for you to make it. Even if you don’t complete any of the rounds, you will still earn some stars and EXP.

Due to my ineptitude, I did not choose to try co-op for myself. There isn’t any spectate option that I noticed which left me feeling a little disappointed. I intended to watch someone else’s matches while in-game and perhaps learn something from there, you know? I’ll get to it once I get better.
That aside, you have tools to make your own track pretty easily. Through the scroll-wheel menu, your movements can be recorded for you to share and upload to the community. There’s an in-game radio, as well as a Photo Mode. Photo Mode doesn’t have that many customizable options, though. Your snaps will be available for others to see when they hover over the camera icon on the map, and likewise you can see what others have taken. Other statistics are available for viewing from the Ubisoft Connect client, from collectibles, to crashes.
Smile and wave, boys.
Riders Republic offers an offline Zen Mode, where the map is fully unlocked, and you have all the tools available to you. Drop yourself anywhere you like and walk around, maybe just fly around aimlessly and take in the sights. There’ll be no other players or NPCs, just you. What I do find strange is that Photo Mode is not available here. Isn’t it just to take photos? Not having it in a free exploration mode just seems strange.
A moment in Zen.
Last but not least, I’ll briefly touch on the in-game shop, where you can get your array of fashion items for both in-game and real money. Nothing too unusual here.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
Should you want to try out Riders Republic even as a complete newbie to extreme sports, there will be some learning curve to the basic controls. This is not a bad thing: the “weight” to the maneuvering and movement is satisfying, and challenging to manage. Take your time to get used to it, and you might just make yourself into a star yet.

The uber casual in me sees the game as akin to a nature tour with extreme sports attached to it. Don’t get me wrong: the sports is definitely enjoyable. I’ll simply get to it in my own time.
Riders Republic does what it sets out to do well, so whichever way you’d like to play it, I hope you enjoy the parks as much as I did.

Drake meme featured in SPM 2022 Bahasa Melayu paper

In Malaysia, Form 5 (twelfth grade) students encountered a question in the Bahasa Melayu SPM paper which used the Drake Hotline Bling meme. For those of you outside Malaysia, Bahasa Melayu is the Malay subject while SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) is the equivalent of GCSE.

For many Form 5 students in Malaysia, it is a stressful time as they’re sitting in the most important exam of their life so far. However, many have admitted to having a good laugh when they first saw the following question:

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Review – Looking for more zombies

Resident Evil Village is on a roll, but if you are wondering whether the Infinite Darkness Netflix anime comes close, check out this review.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is a 3D CG anime. With only 4 episodes, each lasting under 30 minutes, it may be rather short, but will it continue to linger in your mind like Nemesis?

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Let’s dive into this Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness review to find out!

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

Plot and writing
Rest assured, this review will not be going into any spoilers for Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Chronologically, it takes place between the fourth and fifth Resident Evil games. Thankfully, even if you didn’t play Resident Evil 4, you won’t be left hanging from Infinite Darkness‘ story.
Anyways, the 4-episode anime doesn’t exactly break new ground for the zombie genre. It focuses on Resident Evil 2 protagonists Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield’s as they uncover a conspiracy surrounding the events of a zombie outbreak that took place in a fictional Middle Eastern country six years prior.
As a result, Infinite Darkness feels more like a mystery or thriller with action and horror elements, instead of being a full-blown horror experience. A large chunk of the series is spent on characters talking to each other rather than them shooting zombies or being eaten alive.
The problem with the show’s writing and how it presents all the information leading to its climax is that it is just too all over the place. Towards the middle and end, the story jumps around too incoherently, switching between Claire’s investigation in the US, Leon’s mission in a different country, and the events that took place in the past. It can take an entire episode for Leon to travel to another country via submarine, then the next episode, he is magically back in the US. The plot and pacing are just too incoherent to set up a satisfying mystery.

On top of this, the writing for the dialogue is average at best and cringe at worst. I find it hard to relate when two battle-hardened veterans discuss philosophy right before a top-secret mission, for example. Characters spend so much time talking to each other, it is quite disappointing that there is no meaningful relationships or bonds being formed. The show uses dialogue and flashbacks as its primary method to deliver facts and information, nothing less, nothing more.
Another issue is character motivation. Leon and Claire are our protagonists, yet the series never really explores their motivations and what is in it for them. Instead, we spend a large portion of the show looking into the backstories and motivations for its supporting characters. By the end of the show, I can understand the supporting casts’ actions and motivations, but not Leon’s and Claire’s. Leon and Claire are just doing their job and because it is the right thing to do. Since they do not really have any real emotional stakes, it becomes difficult to root for them and I found myself turned off when they are on screen.

Where are the zombies?
With so much time spent on humans talking to each other, I found myself craving to see more zombies. The zombies are also the best part of the show for me. In episode 1, we got to see someone who was bitten turn into one. Once a zombie, this character moves very freakishly and does a great job at building suspense. I was praying to see more of this in the coming episodes, but that is pretty much it. Heck, in episode 2, we saw someone being bitten in a flashback. Episode 3 and episode 4 do not show any zombie biting at all!
The zombie genre of film and television series is not particularly known for its quality writing. While you do have engaging pieces of media like Train to Busan, zombie fans basically just want to see zombies. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness should have sacrificed some of its lacklustre dialogue in favour of mindless zombie scenes. Resident Evil 4 had Leon suplexing infected people. Why can’t Infinite Darkness stick to what makes the series so fun in the first place?

Visuals and Audio
The show looks pretty good, overall. Lighting effects and shadows are on point. From the shining of flashlights to scenes that take place in night-vision, the horror video game roots of the series are pretty apparent.
Characters’ faces are also really pretty. Characters like Leon and Jason have very detailed facial hair and stubbles. Considering that we spend most of the show looking at characters having conversations with one another, having the characters look good is a consolation, at least. Occasionally, you do have side characters who look too generic. For example:

In terms of sound, the show did surprisingly well. There is a soft piano tune that plays during suspenseful scenes which really helps set the mood. Sound effects, from the crackling of fire to gunshots, were also quite crisp. Imagine my surprise to see Yugo Kanno, the composer for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Parts 3, 4 and 5 also doing the same role for Infinite Darkness. Granted, there is nothing too bombastic or iconic in terms of the music for Infinite Darkness, but the sound is still pretty strong all in all.
Also, while watching Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, I watched it with both English and Japanese voices for this review. Safe to say, the English dub is superior to the Japanese dub. The English voices carry more subtlety and fit the characters’ expressions a lot better than the Japanese voices.

Closing thoughts
In some ways, I can respect what Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is trying to do. It is not trying to be another post-apocalyptic zombie show. Rather, it tries to paint a mystery of how zombie outbreaks happen in the first place.
Sadly, its disappointing writing and poor pacing make this mystery largely forgettable. Maybe if it was a 2-hour long movie instead of a 4-episode series, it might have been paced better. Heck, just throw in more zombies. They are the best part of the show, yet their screen time is so little.
In a nutshell, I would not recommend this show to anyone, even Resident Evil fans. We do get to see new bioweapons, but you will probably learn more from reading a wiki page.
If you still want to watch the show, you can do so on Netflix.
