Gabe Newell has been personally handing out the Steam Deck to Customers

Valve co-founder and CEO Gabe Newell has been spotted hand-delivering the new Steam Deck to customers this week, some of them didn’t even order one.

Reddit user bitfiddler0 posted a picture of a Steam Deck in its case. He said that he had received an email saying that his Steam Deck would come early and be delivered on Saturday.

“Fast forward to today.. I told my wife to watch for deliveries while I went on a full-day ski trip with friends. The “delivery guy” comes and wife opens the door. He asks “Is Mike (not real name) home?” She says “no but you can leave the package with me….. and what’s with the camera crew?” Little did she know that the “delivery guy” was Gabe Newell
Gabe was a super cool and down-to-earth guy though. He said to email him if she has any feedback (to which my wife replied “OK, but what’s your name again?”)”

An image taken from bitfiddler0’s door cam clearly shows Gabe Newell personally bringing the Steam Deck to the door.
Another Reddit user called SeattleRainPidgeons further said that they had gotten a Steam Deck delivered by Valve’s CEO and that not only had he delivered it, he also signed its case as well.

“Saw a camera crew going up to my neighbor’s house while I was loading stuff into my truck. My roommate recognized the guy being followed as Gaben, I didn’t believe him, our other roommate then verified it was indeed Gabe. After delivering my neighbor’s Deck, we yelled “Hi Gabe!”. At which point he asked how many were living in the house, then he went back to his van and grabbed us each a Deck. Was also filmed receiving ours so I assume these will be used in some promo or online. Very cool day.”
The Steam Deck was released last week however due to a large backlog of pre-orders, anyone who wishes to order one now will have to wait until the second quarter of 2022 for it to arrive.
Gabe Newell handing you a personally signed Steam Deck seems like a dream come true. Hopefully, ours will arrive at some point this summer.

PlayStation Acquires Savage Game Studios

PlayStation has announced that they have acquired the mobile game developer Savage Game Studios.

Savage Game Studios will be joining the newly created PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, a group that will act independently from their console division and works to create a new mobile-based experience based on new and existing PlayStation IPs.

PlayStation Blog posted a brief comment from Savage Game Studios CEO and Co-Founder Michail Katkoff. Here’s what he had to say about joining the PlayStation family.
“Established in 2020 and led by myself and fellow Co-founders Nadjim Adjir and Michael McManus, Savage Game Studios was born of our many years of mobile game development experience spanning a number of massively successful global IP. Our guiding vision was a creative space where experimentation and taking risks weren’t warily avoided, but rather eagerly embraced. We’ve all worked at big studios and while we respect the advantages of ample resources, we wanted to stay small and nimble so we could call our own shots.

“So why then,” you may be thinking to yourself, “would you join PlayStation Studios?” We made this deal because we believe that PlayStation Studios’ leadership respects our vision for how we can best operate and succeed, and because they too are not afraid to take chances. All of that, plus the ability to potentially tap into PlayStation’s amazing catalog of IP and the fact that we will benefit from the kind of support that only they can provide… The harder question to answer would be “why not?”
On behalf of everybody at Savage Game Studios, thank you for having us. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!”
PlayStation says they aim to provide more ways for users, both fans and new audiences, to engage with their content, similar to how they expanded to the PC market with their recent ports of PS4 games like Spider-Man and God of War.
They also reaffirmed to users that they are still committed to developing “amazing single-player, narrative-driven experiences” for their PS4 and PS5 consoles.

Blue Exorcist MMORPG announced

Aniplex has announced a Blue Exorcist / Ao no Exorcist smartphone MMORPG, opening a teaser website. There’s nothing else to go on besides the IP and the type of game at time of writing, but you can at least smash that refresh button every now and again over here.

But wait, I hear you ask, as you click the meager tag for the series name: “What happened to Damned Chord?” Sorry everyone, after it slipped its 2019 release schedule citing “quality concerns” and postponing it, the game is officially cancelled. The MMORPG seems to be a more promising prospect, and we’d probably never know what really happened to Damned Chord. The website for Damned Chord remains up for the time being, with a redirect to the MMORPG project.

We can probably make a few assumptions about the Blue Exorcist MMORPG project:

Likely to have a self-insert protagonist
Original story
It’s mobile based, so there’s gonna be gacha
Maybe even a stealth sequel even though the manga hasn’t ended yet

In any case, you fans out there will have to wait on further announcements. 2020 will wrap up in just over a month and a half, and an MMORPG would be decently large scale, so further news might not come out this year. They do like to announce things on celebratory streams, so keep your eyes peeled.

Final Fantasy Awakening Review – A Must Try for Every Final Fantasy Fans

Based on Final Fantasy Type-0 (on PSP) and developed in place of the discontinued Final Fantasy Agito, Final Fantasy Awakening is the first official MMOARPG of Final Fantasy. The game has launched its SEA server recently in several countries – Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. We had some fun playing the game, so here is our Final Fantasy Awakening review!

Taking place in Orien, Final Fantasy Awakening is almost a typical MMOARPG where you can create your own character, form a team, building them up and battles your way through the stages. You will be able to choose between 3 classes available at the beginning of the game – Windblade Warrior (Melee), Fire Gunner (Ranged) or Ice Magitek Knight (Mage), then customize your character in a few aspects such as hairstyle and personality.

Your character can form a party with not more than 4 support heroes. Every hero will have their own skills and ability, with some combination of the heroes give you Hero Destiny effect. All of them can be equipped with gears too, you can further upgrade your heroes stats by refining and enhancing the gears. Heroes and gears are obtainable from completing stages and summoning.

Other than the must-have feature – campaign mode that comes with an exciting storyline, the game also features a huge variety of single-player or multiplayer game modes. Putting the typical ones such as Arena and Team Dungeon aside, there is a World Adventure mode where you can dispatch a hero to guard an area for rewards. There is also an Infinite Trials mode that enables you to challenge floor by floor with different winning conditions. Besides, the Throne of Paragons mode offers cross-server 9v9 battles (which sound really interesting to me).

The graphics are truly outstanding as it features a full 3D Cinematic Graphics that is comparable with console graphics. The game environment looks detailed, while the character movement is smooth (especially during battles). I personally enjoyed watching the skill animations. Final Fantasy Awakening also features Japanese voice-overs for each of its characters, which many Final Fantasy fans would probably like it more compared to localized voice-overs.

Pros
We all know most of the RPG relies on turn-based system, but Final Fantasy Awakening is different as it offers real-time hack-and-slash combat. It has highly restored the original storyline of Final Fantasy Type-0 too, along with the Japanese voice-overs, doesn’t it brings back the old memories of PSP era? Other than that, the game features a lot of modes that will keep you busy. You can also use auto-path so you don’t need waste time running around to find your next destination.

Cons
The user interface is a bit packed for a new player. Also, the Arena mode forces you to auto-battle using AI, it would be better if it allows real-time arena battle that you could have full control of your characters.

In conclusion, Final Fantasy Awakening is a must try for Final Fantasy Type-0 fans as it gives you the nostalgia feels along with a brand new experience under the worldview of Final Fantasy Type-0. Final Fantasy Awakening is currently free-to-play for Android and iOS, begins your epic journey now if this interests you! You can also redeem your gift code from their official website or visit the official Facebook page for latest updates.

Type Moon
Good Smile Company was once again brought us an assortment of figures from Type Moon’s Fate franchise.
For the first time in a long time, however, we also got some Tsukihime merchandise with three new Nendoroid based on the Tsukihime remake. It feels especially fitting considering the first-ever figure in the Nendoroid line was Tsukihime’s Neco Arc.

Persona is also no stranger to figures and merch but it is a surprise to see official figures for the protagonist of Persona 2, Tatsuya Suou and Maya Amano. Atlus tends to focus most of their marketing on the Pesona games from 3 onwards so it’s nice to see they’ve thrown fans of the older games a bone.
On the Shin Megami Tensei side of things, we got a colored look at the previously announced Demi Fiend Figma and confirmation that Raidoi is getting one as well.

Notable Other Figures
To end there are a bunch of other notable figures from Good Smile to keep us smiling. These include a Nendoroid of everyone’s favorite dress-up darling Marin Kitagawa, a hauntingly cool Pop-Up Parade figure of Guts from Berserk, and sweet Rei Ayanami from Evanlgion letting her hair down.

Crime Boss: Rockay City Review – Robbed of Enjoyment

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

When Crime Boss: Rockay City first announced and showcased its star-studded cast, with the likes of Chuck Norris, Michael Rooker and Danny Trejo my excitement for the game immediately shot up, how could it not? A First Person Shooter heist game similar to that of the Payday series featuring Chuck Norris as The Sheriff, seems like an already simple yet interesting premise that could get anyone excited for.

Being a crime boss with the promise of managing your own criminal empire and going up against the likes of Danny Trejo with Michael Rooker all the while utilizing Unreal Engine 5 definitely sounds like it could prove to be quite the hit. With that being said, does Crime Boss: Rockay manage to steal my attention? Read on to find out more.

As aforementioned, Crime Boss: Rockay City is primarily a heist game and what makes it different from the Payday series is that it has an additional gameplay sequence to it. This comes in the form of Turf Wars which is due in part to to the main story as Travis Baker (Michael Madsen) who is the character you control in the story mode wants to be King of Rockay City, and that involves taking out rival gangs territories.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

There are 5 crime leaders in Rockay City,  there’s Khan, Heilo, Dollar Dragon, Don Barbaro and Travis Baker, all of which own their respective territories on the map overview. Attacking territories is mostly a numbers game, you hire soldiers before heading out, and the more soldier you have, the better your odds at successfully winning that takeover.
Planning Ahead

Before heading out on missions, you can either use the different characters available or hire them to accompany you when carrying out the mission. Different characters have different loadouts to them which also gives them unique stats, you could leverage this by choosing the best person for the right job and ensure the mission goes more smoothly. Not everything is positive however as some of these character do take a higher cut of the loot and carry with them some form of disadvantageous stats as well.
Once in the mission, strategically managing your small band of misfits is the key to success, you do not necessarily need to play as Travis Baker throughout the mission, you may seamlessly swap to the different characters within your team to better position them or give them a general direction to go to or just follow you. Missions are pretty straight forward as it has you collecting all the loot you can find, stuff it on the getaway vehicle and end the mission via the vehicle.
Different missions do yield different outcomes as there are certain missions that will cost more than the payout, so there is some form of strategic thinking to it, albeit a bit straightforward.
Some characters share the same character models but have different names
After completing missions and levelling up, you may add unique attributes to Travis Baker which makes him a more competent Crime Boss. Other characters can level up as well so its best not to lose anyone in the field.
While this was interesting in the first few moments, it got extremely repetitive as I progressed much further into the game, Being stuck doing the same thing over and over again felt like quite a chore to go through and there were not much variations to the overall gameplay that encouraged me to keep on going to rob another Jewelry Store.
Another interesting aspect to take note of for this game is that death resets progress. Which does make it a rogue-like with the only difference being that If by any chance that you do end up dying in a takeover or heist gone wrong, the game will restart the game to Day 1 so its best if you play this one a bit more cautiously.
Choose Your Mode
The Campaign Mode is the mode I spent most of time in, it offers a wider variety of things that helps break the monotonous nature of the gameplay in this game. In the Campaign Mode, the game will have you doing the said activities:

Taking territory – You and your army move in on an enemy turf and kill all the defenders.
Robbery – The overall core experience of the game, you loot and get out before it gets too hot

You can also strengthen your army and make more money by activating certain goals in the Goals tab and from there you may select the mission that best suits your current situation.
Other characters that were featured in the trailer are present in the campaign mode as well, inside the Office, Casey (Kim Basinger) will act as the Personal Assistant and manage all the money and loot that players can sell on the Black Market. Here you may also request for a loan (if you’re strapped for cash) and even buy different type of assets such as furniture to decorate your office the way you want it to look.
Next you have Touchdown (Michael Rooker) and Glove (Danny Glover) who join your team after you progress through some of the main missions. These characters have different traits and offer different bonuses and specialize tasks which you can utilize and bring them along if the situation is fitting.
Overall the campaign mode did offer some kind of variation in terms of gameplay, however I personally did not find the loop satisfying because after a couple of missions in I genuinely felt the monotonous nature of the game weighing on me.
Following that we have the Quick Play mode. Quick Play is essentially you and three other characters, (can be played online or offline) doing the different jobs that are available or take on bigger contract jobs for bigger payouts. This can be done through the “sessions” tab.
Contracts net you big payouts but offer higher risks
Stealing The Attention
The graphics look great, the characters look exactly like their celebrity counterparts and environments and stages look well detailed and beautiful as well. Its just a shame however that some areas are recycled and has a very familiar feeling to them after the first 10 missions or so. Regardless, its one of the few games that I have played where the likeness of a celebrity character is done well, even with most recent titles like WWE2k23, certain superstars look way different than their real life counterparts.

This is probably due in part on the use of Unreal Engine 5 where even the the guns look polished and very good as well, the weathering patterns as well as some minute damage detailing them is a great positive as you would spend more time aiming down the sights and looking at the guns in this game as there are no crosshairs.
I believe this was the biggest strength of the game, which is the overall visual presentation. While the gameplay loops leave a lot to be desired, the visual fidelity on display here gives a sneak peak on how true to life the next-generation of games would look in the coming future.
Verdict
Crime Boss: Rockay City is a difficult game to recommend and not recommend as well. It strikes as a perfect middle of the road kind of experience, you have these characters that look like their real life counterparts with the environments and guns looking amazing, but on the other hand, the major gameplay loop is just boring and got repetitive fast.

While the campaign does offer some small variation to the overall experience through Turf Wars, unfortunately, much like the heist game mode, it does get rather old after the first five or so Turf Wars that you participate in. Sure you can also get tense moments from playing the multiplayer and by upping the difficulty, but all that feels simulated which meant that the excitement was not earned.
In any case, it all boils down to whom this game is actually for, I believe that fans of heist games would enjoy it more, it looks very good and it has you doing activities very much similar to Payday. It definitely did not win me over due to its repetitive nature but the impressive visuals did kept me playing and going through a heist or two. Hopefully with updates we see more variety in terms of level design and campaign structure as well as a more seamless open world kind of experience rather than playing mission to mission.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Nice graphics

                                        Repetitive gameplay

                                        Core gameplay is nice

                                        Reused locations in some maps

The Rathalos measures in at 18 inches from tail to snout, and a staggering 29 inches across in diameter. Its mouth also features light-up effects, letting you recreate the last thing a hunter sees before they get forcefully sent back to camp.

On top of all that, KitzConcept has made it so the Rathalos is fully poseable, with even the wing pieces being separate planes so you can recreate a whole host of dynamic flight poses. The promotional photos also show a scale Hunter figure with the Rathalos, hinting at a possible release of that in the near future since they explicitly said it would not be included in the figure.

This is the second Rathalos figure to be produced in recent years, with the first one kicking off the SH Monster Arts line Monster Hunter pieces. That line, produced by Bandai, features a Rathalos, Nargacuga and most recently, a Zinogre.

Netflix Introduces Vtuber Mascot For Its Anime Division

Netflix has introduced their latest hire, the official Netflix Vtuber – the new face of the platform’s anime division.

Introducing herself as Enuko Mei Kuruno AKA N-ko chan, she describes herself as president of Netflix’s anime club, and speaks both English and Japanese. Netflix introduced the new Vtuber brand ambassador in a short video posted to their YouTube channel.

N-ko chan also pulled back the curtain a little on the actor behind her performance, saying that she’s a seasoned employee based out in California who knows her stuff when it comes to anime.
According to the video N-ko will be creating content for the Netflix Anime YouTube channel, introducing fans to Netflix’s anime line-up. She also mentioned collaborating with her “senpai”. Given Netflix doesn’t have its own line up of Vtubers that means she’ll probably be reaching out across the aisle to other Vtuber companies, though she hasn’t mentioned any by name.

According to the video N-ko will also be taking part in the usual Vtuber fair with singing streams, as well as game commentary. She also said she’ll be answering messages on Twitter and YouTube, and encouraged fans to reach out to her via these channels.
This isn’t the first time a brand has embraced the growing Vtuber trend. Last month Xbox partnered with two of Hololive’s Vtubers to promote GamePass in Japan.
Netflix’s Push For More Anime
This all appears to be part of Netflix’s increased push in their anime division. As it stands Netflix is the most prominent legal platform for viewing anime in the SEA region, due to bespoke anime sites like Crunchyroll not being available here, or having their selections seriously reduced.
Like it or not Vtubers and otaku culture go hand-in-hand now, so making a Vtuber the face of their anime line-up is a pretty clever idea. Considering the big boom of Vtuber content it makes sense that Netflix would go this route.

Vivo V15 Pro Review – 32MP pop-up selfie camera and great performance comes in a good price

Remember the “no-notch design” on Vivo NEX? The display offering FullView experience is still one of our favourites and here is a mid-range version of the phone coming out in Malaysia! Featuring the similar FullView display, Vivo V15 Pro features better cameras compared to Vivo NEX and a powerful performance suiting its price. Read on our Vivo V15 Pro review below to know more!

V15 Series | Picture Trio
Sneak life into photography with the all-new #V15Pro. Equipped with AI Triple Camera technology, AI body shaping, a 48 Million Quad Pixel sensor, 120 degrees Super wide angle and depth camera.#V15Series | #V15 | #48mpPhotos | #NightMode | #WorldsFirstElevatingCamera | #AiTripleCamera

Posted by Vivo on Sunday, February 24, 2019

Design and Display

The innovative design on Vivo V15 Pro caught our eyes at first glance. The Super AMOLED display is 6.39-inch with an impressively screen-to-body ratio of 91.64% thanks to the no-notch design, as well as slim side and top bezels (1.75mm and 2.22mm). Like Vivo NEX’s design, a pop-up selfie camera is hidden behind the display. It only shows up when you activate the selfie function, then retracts automatically when you are not using it.

The review unit we get is in Topaz Blue (there is another Ruby Red version available too) that comes with a beautiful blend of blue and purple. V15 Pro features the stylish Spectrum Ripple design, you can see lines that dance across the back when you view it from different angles. However, the phone is slippery yet quite a fingerprint magnet so you could want to put its plastic phone case on.

On top of it, you get an AI Triple Rear Camera in powerful specifications (we will talk about this later). The device also has the latest in-display fingerprint scanner that is faster and more secure.
Vivo V15 Pro Specifications

Size: 157.25 × 74.71 × 8.21mm
Weight: 185 g
Color: Topaz Blue, Ruby Red
Display:  6.39-Inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Ultra FullView Display
Resolution: 2340 × 1080 pixels
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 675AIE Octa-core Processor
OS: Funtouch OS 9 (based on Android 9.0)
Memory:  6GB RAM + 128GB ROM
Camera:

32 MP Front Camera
48 MP + 8 MP + 5 MP Dual-lens Rear Camera

Battery: 3700mAh with Dual-Engine Fast Charging

Camera
V15 Pro‘s triple rear camera is a combination of 48MP Quad Pixel Sensor, 8MP AI Super Wide-Angle Camera and a 5MP Bokeh Camera. Along with the improved AI algorithms, you can easily take stunning shots in bright and low-light scenarios. The AI Super Night Mode helps perfects your night-time shots, while the AI Super Wide-Angle Camera allows you to capture photos from a wider perspective.

The device also comes with something that is really useful especially for females – the AI Body Shaping. Just like what its name says, you can easily adjust every aspect of your body such as create a slimmer waistline or longer legs to create a social media-worthy photo.

For those who love to selfie, its 32MP selfie camera not just take detailed photos, it offers various beautification features to perfect your selfie too. You can even add different portrait lighting effects while you shoot.
Performance and Battery
Gaming performance is of course important for mobile gamers like us, and the good news is, V15 Pro doesn’t disappoint us in this aspect. Powered by Snapdragon 675AIE Octa-core Processor with 6GB RAM, we haven’t experienced lag yet during the time we use the phone for gaming. The Game Mode 5.0 and Dual-Turbo will optimize your device for better gaming performance as well.

We tested the device with a few games like Final Blade and PUBG Mobile. Although the device only runs PUBG Mobile at HD graphics, the gameplay is smooth while the map renders fast. Games like Final Blade requires grinding, fortunately the phone doesn’t heat up significantly so you can keep the game active for a very long period.

The 3700mAh battery can easily last for a day for normal usage or a few hours of intensive gaming. No worries if you used up your battery, you can still recharge it back quickly thanks to the Dual-Engine Fast Charging technology.
The Verdict
Vivo V15 Pro is a great mid-range phone offering what most people would love – ultra full-view display, powerful cameras and decent gaming performance. We haven’t get the actual price of V15 Pro in Malaysia yet, but it is going to be RM1799 according to several sources. And with a price tag lower than RM2000, the device will definitely worth your money.

The official price and launch date of the Vivo V15 Pro will be announced tomorrow (26 February) so stay tuned! You can also follow the official Vivo Malaysia Facebook for the updates.

Like previous Genshin Impact scale figures, a lot of care was put into the base too, this time showing off a grassy terrain not uncommon outside of Monstadt, the character’s home region.
Here’s the description of the figure, courtesy of Sideshow Collectibles:
From the next-generation open-world RPG Genshin Impact, Kotobukiya is proud to present the lovely Barbara  Statue!
Barbara, Deaconess of the Church of Favonius and idol of Mondstadt, comes to life in a dynamic 1:7 scale statue. Her undeniable charm has been fully and impressively recreated, complete with her loveable expression and fluttering skirt. She also comes with singing effects that have been produced with clear parts and can be removed for multiple display options!
Barbara’s energetic smile is sure to bring a smile to your face as well! Add her to your collection today!
Aside from that, it features a pretty faithful sculpt of Barbara- one of several playable characters you’ll get for free at the start of the game, albeit Barbara herself is locked behind progression.
The scale figure was previously announced by Kotobukiya seemingly by accident, only to have the then-miHoYo come in and announce it officially an hour later.
It also marks the second 4-star character to get a scale figure, following Ningguang which was announced last year.

In addition, Bandai Namco Entertainment have also put out a new trailer for Scarlet Nexus, showing off the new character Kasane. Kasane isn’t a party member, but rather is a wholly new playable protagonist. You’ll be able to choose to start your adventure as either Yuito or Kasane, with her sharing the same psychokinesis as Yuito.

She’ll have a wholly different set of party members to team up with, meaning the characters will have different ability sets based on who you choose. Her story also seems to be more serious than Yuito, who comes from a more prestigious family.
It looks like at least once in the game Yuito and Kasane will butt heads, as the trailer shows the two of them squaring off. They seem to be on at least a little friendly terms, though certain story elements are quick to change that.
Bandai Namco Entertainment also announced a special Scarlet Nexus livestream, presented by the Japanese voice actors for Yuito and Kasane. The presentation will be streamed on 24th of March, 2021.

ASUS ROG Announces New High Performance Gaming Desktop Lineup

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced its new 2023 desktop lineup, complete with new CPUs and GPUs from Intel and NVIDIA as well as significant redesigns to increase airflow across the board.

The all-new ASUS ROG G22CH Desktop packs competition-ready power into a 10-liter small-form-factor (SFF) frame and comes with either air or liquid cooling. The ASUS ROG Strix G16CH Desktop goes all-in on both performance and cooling, breezing through the most demanding games without breaking a sweat, while the redesigned G13CH blows away the competition with its new airflow-focused chassis design.

ROG G22CH

The ROG G22CH proves that size isn’t always everything. This ultra-compact, 10L small form factor PC boasts serious gaming horsepower, but only takes up a tiny spot on a desk. For the first time on a ROG desktop, the G22CH utilizes indirect bias lighting for the front panel, giving the machine a refined yet distinctly gamer personality. Powered by up to an Intel Core i9-13900K, up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPU, up to 32 GB of DDR5 4800 MHz RAM, and 2 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage, the G22CH can deliver truly next-generation gaming experiences.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

High-end hardware requires serious cooling, so the G22CH was designed from the very beginning with a focus on airflow. It supports traditional air cooling or a custom AIO liquid cooler for the CPU. The ROG G22CH is smaller in every dimension than the previous small form factor flagship, the ROG G21CX Huracan, despite the former having an external power adapter and the G22CH featuring an internal power supply. The ROG G22CH also features a toolless design, allowing for easy access to all compartments and enabling painless hardware upgrades in the future.
ROG Strix G16CH

The true power of a desktop gaming machine is the mix of flagship components and a careful balance of airflow for consistent cooling. The ROG Strix G16CH has distilled that formula to perfection, thanks to the power of up to an Intel Core i7-13700KF CPU and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. For gamers who love to multitask, the Strix G16CH boasts up to 128 GB of DDR4 RAM, and for those with large game libraries, 3 TB of total storage capacity plus more room to expand ensures plenty of peace of mind.
The key to the G16CH isn’t just the raw horsepower of the high-end components but its entirely airflow-focused design. Featuring a front panel intake with plenty of access to fresh air, and a nearly identical top exhaust with copious ventilation, the Strix G16CH can easily breeze through grueling gaming sessions without breaking a sweat. As a mid-tower PC, the Strix G16CH can accommodate a traditional air-cooled configuration or a high-performance 240 mm liquid cooler for the CPU. Despite this airflow-focused redesign, the signature ROG design cues that differentiate the G16CH from the competition remain, including the ROG Slash aesthetic, an integrated headset holder, and a reinforced double D-ring strap. The ROG Strix G16CH is a familiar breath of fresh air.
ROG Strix G13CH

ROG desktops have always been at the forefront of gaming performance and cutting-edge style, and the ROG Strix G13CH takes up that mantle. Redesigned for 2023, the chassis now has more airflow than ever, while retaining the curves and angles that make it a uniquely ROG machine. Powered by up to an Intel Core i7-13700 processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPU, high refresh and high-resolution gaming await. Paired with up to 64 GB of RAM and 2 TB of total storage, this machine is ready to handle gaming, streaming, and whatever else gamers can throw at it.
The G13CH also sees a redesign for 2023, with a focus on airflow. Additional cutouts and air channels match the pathing that makes this desktop so recognizable as a ROG machine, increasing cooling performance without sacrificing its ROG identity. WiFi 6E support offers broadband-level networking with low latency, even on crowded networks, enabling an esports-ready connection no matter where in the house gamers play. For those in search of a shield against their online enemies, ROG Strix G13CH could be for you.

Bear Down Studios, The Newest Endeavour By Malaysian Artist Johnson Ting

Malaysian Concept Artist Johnson Ting has opened Bear Down Studios, and is recruiting new talent to join him. Ting himself has had a prolific 8-year career in the art industry.

Bear Down Studios specializes in concept art. meaning they create 2D designs for assets in videogames.
Based on an interview with The Star, Bear Down seems like an extension of Ting’s values towards the local Art industry.

“Many talented Malaysians have moved out of the country to pursue better opportunities” he tells The Star. “If possible, I would like to do my part in telling the talented individuals to come back after gaining the experience and help grow the industry here in Malaysia. Malaysian artists should unite to build a better and more forward-moving country in the arts”.
A Storied Journey Through The Industry

Ting has previously worked at Passion Republic, where he worked on games like Mortal Kombat X and Gears of War 4. He got the job fresh after graduating from The One Academy where he describes himself as being mentored by another big industry name, Jarold Sng.
During his time at The One Academy, his hard work as a student was recognized when he was awarded the Malaysia’s Top 10 Outstanding Creative Youth Award (Platinum Achievers) by the institution.

His work extends far beyond videogames, however. Through his career he’s also designed collectibles, some based on unique IPs. One of these is the Neo Keisatsu figure, which he did for Hong Kong-based company Devil Toys .
“I am usually sought after by companies for my sci-fi robot designs”, he reflects. “I am currently in the midst of making a personal artbook, titled Neo, a cyberpunk science-fiction visual book”.

Neo Japan 2202 is his own personal IP, full of designs of futuristic police with cybernetic elements. These pieces also come with their own flavor text, really fleshing out the world in Ting’s head.
He puts a lot of thought into this flavor text, talking about organizations involved as well as the mechanisms for how his autmoated police would work.

Most recently, Ting got to play a part in designing the Solstice 2020 set in Destiny 2. In a Facebook post, he recently expressed his excitement at seeing players rocking his handiwork in-game.
” I was tasked with designing the whole Solstice 2020 set for Destiny 2, along with some of the sparrows as well, was pretty fun to see players rocking this armor in game as always!” the post reads.
Destiny was more than a job for Ting, who is a self-professed fan of the Destiny series. In an interview from 2018, he talked about his admiration for his friends working on the game.
“The most recent game I love is Destiny.” he says. “I am good friends with the artists behind making the game, and they knew that I was a fan and sent me a signed print by the art director and lead concept artist of Destiny. It was really cool.”
Of course, his career path would eventually lead him to the makers of Destiny, Bungie, where he worked on Destiny 2 as a freelance Concept Artist.
Now, as the head of Bear Down Studios, we can only wish Johnson Ting the best in where his life’s travels will take him next.

Satria Dewa Gatotkaca Review – An Awkward Step Forward for Indonesian Superheroes

With how big superheroes and cinematic universes are nowadays, Satria Dewa Gatotkaca is Indonesia’s first attempt in joining said trend—here’s our review. Thanks to Horizon Filem Entertainment and TGV Cinemas for inviting us to the early screening!

If you aren’t aware Gatotkaca is the first film in the Satria Dewa Universe, the equivalent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but based on Nusantara legends. While it released in its home country of Indonesia in June earlier this year, the movie will release in Malaysia cinemas on August 18, 2022.

Story
Realising that he’s the lineal descendant of Gatotkaca from Pandawa family, Satrio must fight his way to unlock the powers that lie inside him and face Aswatama, the remaining Kurawa warrior who lives on to destroy the world by changing the history of Bharatayudha.
Based on the film’s synopsis on TGV’s website, you’ll probably be left scratching your head at all the foreign-sounding names and terminology. Thankfully, the film is pretty easy to follow in the beginning, as it portrays how protagonist Yuda goes from ordinary guy who lost his job to someone who discovered that their actually genetically superhero-material.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Inspired by the famous Mahabrata epic, Gatotkaca is a superhero born from myth with a modern twist. The main conflict of the film is centred between the warriors of Pandawa dan Kurawa. With Kurawa hell-bent on eliminating the Pandawas and resurrecting Aswahama to unleash chaos on the world, Yuda must master his powers as Gatotkaca to protect his loved ones.

While it’s a pretty cookie cutter superhero film plotline, there is so much exposition and other plot points crammed into this 130-minute film, it’s a pain trying to understand everything. From the genetics of Pandawa and Kurawa to an underground project known as Satria Dewa Project that had to be scrapped, the film can get pretty exposition-heavy at times to justify its lore.
Overall, due to the fast-paced nature of the movie and how quickly it presents information, it was difficult for me to form an emotional connection with the characters. Some of the relationships between them just develop out of nowhere, which can get confusing. While it’s great that we’re getting more SEA representation on the big screen and that the movie proudly embraces its cultural roots, I wished it would’ve been written to be more accessible to unfamiliar audiences.

Presentation
If there’s one thing that didn’t surprise me from watching Satria Dewa Gatotkaca for this review, it’s the action. While there are the typical superheroic flying and attacks that send people flying, what really stood out is the choreography. When you have martial arts superstars like Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman of John Wick 3 and The Raid acclaim, the martial arts segments were a treat to watch. I just wished that more of the fights would take place in brighter areas, since they can be hard to watch as they occur in dimly lit locations.
While the CGI doesn’t hold up to Western superhero movies, it’s decent enough that it doesn’t detract from my immersion. For an Indonesian production, it’s definitely one of the better ones. Hopefully, Satria Dewa Studio will get better at the CGI aspect for their next movie, Satria Dewa Arjuna.

Intermission
There is a segment that takes place somewhere in the middle of the movie’s runtime which took whatever immersion of the movie I had and threw it into the bin. In it, the characters start to make cringey jokes, some of which are poorly written and sexual in nature. For me, it was unbearable to watch.
To make this “intermission” of sorts even more jarring, it’s the build-up before that really feels completely uncalled for. It takes place right after a rather serious moment, causing the film’s tone to be extremely inconsistent. I’m not joking when I say that this is a good part to leave the cinema for a toilet break.

Closing Thoughts
Although the story is hectic and inconsistent, Satria Dewa Gatotkaca is still able to deliver on the action front. It succeeds in being a superhero blockbuster, and while it may not be pushing the boundaries of filmmaking, it’s still a good attempt by Satria Dewa Studio, considering it’s their first movie. Hopefully, the next film, Arjuna, won’t have the obnoxious intermission once it’s out.
For more details, visit the movie’s page on the TGV website.

Pros
Cons

Amazing fight choreography
Utterly atrocious intermission

Good ol’ superhero action

Die and try again in DEATHLOOP for PS5 and PC

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Sometimes you just can’t let go, and DEATHLOOP sure gives off that strong impression coming off the Dishonored duology, both by Arkane Lyon. It’s time to live (?), or die trying.

It’s nighttime on Blackreef. Your current target: Aleksis Dorsey. Fortunately, the self-proclaimed “Alpha Wolf” is throwing an exclusive dinner party at his lavish mansion — and you aim to crash it. Welcome to Deathloop, Arkane Lyon’s new immersive first-person shooter coming to consoles exclusively for PlayStation 5 when it launches this holiday season. Deathloop will also be launching on PC at the same time. Trapped on an island stuck in a timeloop, you will fight, sneak, and sabotage your way past the members of the AEON Program – the island’s trigger-happy revelers who have put you on the top of their hitlist – on your mission to eliminate eight key targets in a single loop and end the “endless” cycle. But it won’t be easy, because you’ll also have to contend… with her.

Deathloop puts you in the role of Colt, a man with a unique problem. Every morning you wake up on the same beach with the same killer hangover, the subject of the same island-wide manhunt by the same entitled partyers. There’s only one way to free yourself from the loop, the island, and the cycle of slaughter: You’re gonna have to take out the eight people responsible for maintaining the loop. You’ve got to accomplish this nigh-impossible task before midnight, so you better get creative.
Each repeated day is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and solve the puzzle of Deathloop. It’s up to you how you go about this. You can tackle each loop at your own pace, and in any order you choose – selecting your missions, targets and explorations as you see fit. Arm yourself with a variety of devastating weapons and supernatural abilities to survive the AEON Program and break the loop. Take the knowledge you gain from each day to try different paths and playstyles as you navigate the treacherous backstreets and hidden lairs of Blackreef. Stay on your toes, rework your strategies and push forward, all the while compiling clues as to the inner workings of the island. And remember: If at first you don’t succeed… die, die again.

Colt Vs. Julianna
But the island’s inhabitants aren’t the only obstacles in your path. Deathloop is Arkane Lyon’s innovative take on an immersive multiplayer experience; a story-driven first-person shooter where your main antagonist might be another player. You’ll experience Deathloop’s main story as Colt, hunting down targets across the island as you try to break the loop. Meanwhile, another player might temporarily enter your story in the role of Julianna, a rival assassin with her own singular goal: Protect the loop by eliminating Colt. Of course, if you’re feeling particularly villainous, you can slip into the shoes of Julianna yourself, jumping into someone else’s Blackreef for a tense game of cat-and-mouse. (The multiplayer invasion element is completely optional, so you toggle it on or off as desired.)
For Game Director Dinga Bakaba, Arkane’s goal is to blur the line between single- and multiplayer. “The focus is on the campaign and the story,” he says. “And that campaign can be played with Julianna controlled only by the AI, or – and this is our recommendation – by a mix of A.I. and random players to experience the range of unpredictability and chaos that Julianna is capable of.”
Exclusively on Consoles for PlayStation 5
With stunning and stylish environments, memorable combat encounters, and the freedom to tackle each mission at any pace and with any approach you choose, this is Arkane like you’ve never seen (or felt) it before, built with next-gen in mind. Deathloop is being developed for a new generation of hardware and will launch on console exclusively for PlayStation 5. Leveraging the PS5’s cutting-edge graphics and technology, like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, Deathloop will drop you into a spectacular and immersive world that only Arkane could provide.

Minato Aqua Game Announced

Hololive has made a surprise announcement- that they would be releasing a game based on the popular Vtuber Minato Aqua.

Details were sparse about the Minato Aqua game- we have no details on platforms or a release date, only that it’s releasing some time in 2022 for Japanese users.

Funnily enough this isn’t the first Hololive videogame, or even a videogame based around a singular talent- that honor goes to Evil God Korone which released in October of last year.
It joins HoloEarth as well as Hololive ERROR as other Hololive videogames currently in development.

Knowing what we know about the other games, it’s safe to assume we can at the very least expect a PC release, though that is entirely speculation on our part.

The announcement was made during Aqua’s one-man live concert, titled Aqua-Colored Wonderland (Aqua Iro In Wonder Land).
Minato Aqua is arguably one of the most popular Vtubers of the second generation of Hololive Vtubers, whose members include Yuzuki Choco, Oozora Subaru, Nakiri Ayame and Murasaki Shion, on top of Aqua Herself.
If anything, the strong pivot into videogames is a good indication of how much COVER is investing into its virtual talents- with so many games spanning so many genres, you’ll really be able to engage with Vtubers in more ways than simply watching their streams or buying their merchandise.

Acer Predator X28 Monitor Review: Adjustable, Peak Performance

The Acer Predator X28 is (as the name suggests) a 28’’ monitor made for those that want to game with a widescreen. I’m currently using a 24’’ monitor, and trust me, you can feel the difference and it is very much worth it.

The screen supports up to 4K152Hz giving it a crystal clear output. Combined with its ability to tilt the screen, you have a monitor with an incredible amount of optimization for your gaming setup.

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

Simple but Well Designed

Despite how big it may look, The Predator X28 is actually quite light in comparison to other monitors of the same size. The design is a sleek black, a bit on the simple side but that certainly isn’t a bad thing.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The monitor is really easy to install and set up. The entire installation process does not require any tools. There’s one screw at the bottom of the base, but it comes with a special handle tool to twist it in, making the setup incredibly easy.
The monitor itself is not a curve screen, but I prefer that and the bezel of the screen is actually quite unnoticeable. Despite the fact that the top and side bezels are really thin, the bottom bezel part protrudes out quite a lot, which your average monitor has as well but not this much. From the look of it, Predator X28’s bottom bezel is about half as thick as the housing of the screen panel itself.
This is because the bottom bezel is where the unit houses the proximity sensor. Predator X28 has something called ProxiSense where the monitor will sense if you are in the room with it. If you are not in the room, the monitor will just enter power-saving mode or standby mode.

Although the base of the monitor stand is just your average stand, at the back there’s an extra part that can be opened, which you can use to hang your headset. It’s not necessary but it is a helpful feature that allows you to comfortably store your headphones in an easy-to-reach place.
Crazy Good Adjustment

Although there are a lot of monitors out there that can also do this, the freedom of adjustment on the Predator X28 is impeccable. There are four ways to adjust the monitor, the Tilting angle, the Swivel angle, the Pivoting angle, and the Height of the monitor.
While most will likely find little use in turning the monitor upside down, the ability to turn it to face any position and march with your line of vision is incredibly useful. You barely need to put in force to make any sort of adjustment.
While we don’t have official measurements, from our estimates, the monitor can pivot 90 degrees (to each side), for tilting it can go at least 40-45 degrees from all the way up to all the way down, for Swivel it can go around 40 degrees from all the way left to all the way right, and for Height, it can go a good 16-17cm. The main point here is that the Predator is incredibly flexible, and adjusting it to suit your play style is very satisfying.
Ports and Joystick

What is a monitor without a few ports on it? There are two HDMI 2.0b ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and four downstream USB Type-A ports ( three of them are 3.0, one of them is 2.0. Two on the left and Two on the bottom where the other ports are), an upstream USB Type-B, and a headphone jack.
While HDMI 2.0b technically can support 4K120Hz, if you want to go 4K144Hz or overdrive it to 4K152Hz, you still need HDMI 2.1 for that extra refresh rate. If you are using DisplayPort however, then this is none of your concern, as that will go into overdrive fine.
You can control the Predator X28 and make performance adjustments by using the button+joystick combo on the right of the monitor which is pretty handy. I would always prefer to navigate through the monitor OSD with a joystick instead of a button, it just makes things much easier.
Display Performance
 Predator X28 is a 28’’ monitor that uses an Agile-Splendor IPS panel that supports up to 4K, with a maximum refresh rate of 152Hz, and is also DisplayHDR 400 VESA Certified and 90% DCI-P3 color gamut.
Using the monitor to play games is clear and satisfying, no matter what type of game you play. I’m playing Monster Hunter with 4K resolution on this, and everything is so detailed and it looks so nice, there’s not a place where the textures look mushy or blurry, every single place is so vibrant, it’s just so beautiful.
Of course, 4K resolution isn’t the only thing that is good with the monitor. The Predator X28 also supports NVIDIA G-Sync, and if you turn on the Esport mode, the refresh rate of the monitor will sync with your in-game framerate which eliminates screen tearing issues, which makes experiencing first-person shooters on it is superb.

There’s also a monitor built-in crosshair that you can turn on in the OSD. I personally prefer not to use them but for those who wonder, there are 3 types of different crosshairs that you can choose from, but the only color on them is white.
This monitor also has a large eye protection technology software put into it, like VisionCare as well as the Flickerless and BlueLightShield Pro, which not only can protect your eyes up to a certain degree but also put less straining on your eyes so you can do whatever you do for a longer amount of time.
On top of that, the monitor also has LightSense technology, which senses the brightness in the surrounding area like your room, and adjusts the monitor accordingly, and Dark Boost technology which can help you see better in darker areas.
Verdict

The Acer Predator X28 is quite frankly one of the best monitors that are under 30’’. It supports up to 4K resolution and has a refresh rate higher than 120Hz (If you use DisplayPort that is). If this is not enough, the GtG response time is only 1ms (Most have 5ms or 4ms), and you can even overdrive it to as low as 0.2ms, is that not enough? The number of features has truly made the gaming experience with this monitor more enjoyable.
The color displayed is vibrant and accurate, watching a documentary with this thing makes me feel like I can touch the animal in the video. The refresh rate makes everything so much smoother, and it’s super helpful for FPS gaming. Everything is just perfect for this 28’’ gaming monitor.
I can safely say that if you want a 4K gaming monitor with a high refresh rate, this would be one of our first recommendations.

As this trailer was titled PV1, it’s safe to assume more trailers with new characters are on the way.

The Burgle Cats now available in English!

The Burgle Cats from PONOS is now available in English on both Android and iOS! The game is a follow up to the developer’s equally feline friendly tower defense game, The Battle Cats.

The Burgle Cats takes the weirdly cute feline heroes of The Battle Cats’ Cat Empire and drops them into world of heist-filled stealth action.

Guide five chosen Cats through the target mansion, dodging Traps and avoiding Guard Doges to crack the vault and escape with the loot: Treasure Chests containing valuable equipment or even tickets to unlock more powerful Cats! But be careful: if you take too long or have three burglars captured, your Cats will fail the heist and go home empty-handed!

Your Manor’s personal Locksmith will get right to work opening the chests you’ve snatched, but beware, other Cat Burglar crews might just steal it right out of YOUR Manor before the lock is picked. To stop your burglars from getting bamboozled themselves, you’ll have to unlock Traps and turn your own Burglar’s Manor into an ingenious maze to drive off other bands of thieves.

With every successful heist, your Cat Burglar crew will rise up in the ranks of the Burgle Leagues, increasing rewards, and opening up superior gear to collect… but with even tougher threats to deal with in the Manors of players you invade! Making it all the way to the Celestial League will open up top-class Cats, Traps, and Outfits only available to the most elite burglars.

If the challenges get too tough, build a network of Friends to help you crack the tougher Manors you encounter in Co-op Battles! If your crew slips up, you can summon the team of a Friend you’ve made to pick up where you left off, and still come out on top.
And if you decide to return the favor, coming to the aid of other Cat Burglar crews earns you Friend Points to unlock premium Outfits and Accessories to empower your own crew.
The Burgle Cats offers hours upon hours of exciting head-to-head action in the wacky world established in The Battle Cats, with oodles of character and base customization features that offer players endless options to burgle and defend in their own chosen style.
