Miles takes up the mantle of being Spider-Man, but both he and Peter Parker are referred to as “Spider-Man”, so some NPCs will make the distinction of calling Miles the new Spider-Man. Well, if both of them are around, then where did Peter go to? Mary Jane got a job vacation, and Peter’s her photographer. Off they go then, conveniently put on the bus to let Miles do his own thing. Fortunately, Peter can still do his tutorializing, with plenty of hologram training spots for Miles to come across and help his protégé improve or unlock more of his skill set. Thanks!
The story itself is post the original Marvel’s Spider-Man and its DLCs. The 17 year old Miles is eager to prove himself to the people of NYC, while they would much rather have Peter. With Peter off on vacay, New York City only has an inexperienced teen – he’s Spider-man, but nonetheless lacking in training – to protect it. That doesn’t do much for Miles’ confidence, but at least he has Ganke Lee to help him out, both in and out of costume as needed.

As Miles, you’ll be tangling with both the Underground and Roxxon Energy:-

The Underground is lead by Tinkerer, who wants to stop Roxxon Energy from deploying the new Nuform reactor. They’re fighting back quite violently, to put it mildly. From “just” a gang, they’ve transformed into a powerhouse crime organization which has suddenly acquired some real high-tech stuff, and worse still, Tinkerer may not be the “true” mastermind…
Simon Kriegen’s Roxxon Energy seems to be viewed favourably by the public, and their Nuform reactor boasts the ability to provide clean energy to power the city. A shame that it’s failed numerous safety tests, so its deployment will be harming many lives, at best. Not that the public knows, of course. This is all for their own good.

A SPIDER-MAN DOES WHAT A SPIDER-MAN DOES
As with the previous game, you can swoop around the city to collect Time Capsules, sweep either the Roxxon Reactor or the Underground Hideouts, git gud through hologram trainings, stumbling on Underground caches and whatever else that gets your Spidey Senses tingling. The random occasions of crime likewise still do crop up all over for  you to web up random thuggish dude #153167.

Skills are broadly divided into three types:

Combat
Venom
Camouflage

Peter was focused more on close combat or web-related skills, while Miles is more on building his unique abilities, namely Venom and Camouflage. If you’ve seen Into the Spider-Verse, you should know where this is going. The Venom bar is basically Peter’s special power bar, with Miles being able to utilize it to execute your Venom skills, or heal yourself. Miles’ bio electric charge is utilized in all the Venom skills, and accordingly, are all also able to inflict stun effects. It also comes in handy for quite a few puzzles in the game. Camouflage is exactly as it says on the tin: it turns you invisible, and most enemies will lose aggro on activation, so you can make a quick getaway.
Back from the original game are the suits. At the moment, we’ve got 19 of them, with some requiring story progression to unlock, while others are craftable when you have the resources. The suits also don’t modify the game besides changing your appearances, but some mods unlock when you obtain the associated suit. Speaking of mods, there are two of them: Visor Mods and Suit Mods. These too can be crafted so long you meet the criteria, applying buffs like decreasing enemy attack, or increasing your health regen.

To further spice up your web slingin’ life, you can be further aided with gadgets in four flavours:

Web shooters

Works just like Peter’s

Holo-Drone

Akin to a summon in RPG games, you summon an AI-controlled hologram that will attack and distract enemies on its own

Remote Mine

Well, it’s a remotely detonated mine. It will probably only take out one enemy, but you can plant one on a fuse box to take out more enemies in its radius

Gravity Well

Zarya ult some mooks in a small radius and follow that up with your sick combos

Finishers are still in the game, and yes, there will be skills which will encourage you to do so. As the name suggests, these finishers would be a one hit knockout for the regular guys after you accumulate enough on your combo chain and eliminate some sorry dude.

TIME TO THROW HANDS
If you’ve played the original, it’s essentially more of the same. Run circles around the mooks with plenty of environmental items to toss into the mix, and yeeting them off edges is still a valid way to quick clears – don’t worry, they’re still nicely webbed up ’cause heroes don’t kill. With the variations of Venom skills, you can do some juggling with stunned enemies, and mix it up with some camo action and they won’t know what hit ’em.

The stealth sections are much simpler this time round: press R3 to scan the area, and L2 to (optionally) tag enemies. Tagging will let you see if you can take down the enemy safely, so you can avoid breaking cover. If you still go for it, you can re-establish stealth using your camo. Considering the relatively short cooldown on using camo, these sections are basically trivialized.
With the two main enemy factions, they have their own perks as befitting who they’re aligned with. Underground, unlike their name, are able to scale to higher heights with fancy gizmo weapons, while Roxxon has the bog standard private security loadout. As you get further into the game, they’ll get quite tired of you constantly punting them around, and will come better equipped with stuff like visors that can see you through your camo, shields for absorbing Venom attacks and the like, so don’t get too complacent!
INITIAL THOUGHTS
The evolving enemies means combat in general can be much tougher since you can’t mindlessly spam your attacks, from your auto combos or skills. It gives Miles his own identity, while keeping the base mechanics familiar to those who’ve played the previous game. For Miles fans, you can look forward to his character growth, and queue up What’s Up Danger? for when that time comes as you go through NYC through new eyes, meeting characters new and old.

Spider-man’s that big household name now post events of the first game, and Miles has some really big shoes to fill. This game is Miles’ chance to prove himself, that he can live up to the name, the legacy, while he contends with both himself, and the public’s opinion of him. Is he going to be just Peter 2.0, or Miles, dammit?
Brosome.
Hold on tight till you get the game in your hands, and till we too can unleash the full review! The web swingin’ is as fun as ever, which may be just enough reason to get it, besides gushing over Miles and declaring him best son boy of the year. The game feels like a playable extension of Into the Spider-verse, alas lacking the other Spider-people, so while we wait for the sequel to the movie, this is what you can get to strap in for the incredible ride.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW.
SWOOPING IN
As a whole, the game has 16 main missions, which can take around 8 hours to finish. This does not include the side quests where you can spend a variable amount of time to complete. As for the completely adorable and viral cat, it’s a suit option. You will need to finish the final mission, then clear a new quest that appears to unlock it. Since suits don’t have additional powers in this game, it amounts to just having it for adorable-ness factor, and a special animation on executing finishing moves where the cat lands the final hit.
You’d probably be spending most of your post-main story time to hunt for collectibles or clearing out the side quests. There aren’t many unique bosses when compared to the previous game, primarily only featuring Prowler, Rhino and Tinkerer, some of whom you’ll fight multiple times. Depending on where the post-credit stinger goes, that could be grounds for some tantalizing DLC.

As for skills, gadgets and certain suits, the final upgrade is only available in New Game+, which adds that bit more to play time. You can worry less about spending overly long in going through stuff you’ve already seen, because the game is already pretty damn optimized even playing on “just” the PS4.
IN CLOSING
When compared to the first game, Miles’ game feels much shorter. If you don’t rush the main story, though, there’s plenty to hunt down, with way more variations of random crimes to pepper around on your swinging bouts, like one to prevent the hack of a helicopter. Miles, moving up in the world.
The later game enemies do hurt though, like how pride comes before a fall. This was on Amazing difficulty, so you can imagine Spectacular difficulty would mean a one-hit KO from these dudes. While we mentioned Miles’ camo trivializing stealth sections, when it comes to the Underground faction especially, their ability to move from low to higher elevations means there still is room for error on your part, still requiring a certain level of finesse.

While we can complain about the actual length of the game, what’s there is really well written, so Marvel and lore fans can dig right in to the details sprinkled all over the game: social media feed, quest flavour text, and random podcasts from JJJ or Danika Hart.
Last but definitely not least, the credits pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman. Rest in peace.

Aspiring mages apply now: Hearthstone Scholomance Academy review

Magically inclined students or otherwise have long awaited to get back to school – and it’s no ordinary one, when Hearthstone‘s newest expansion, Scholomance Academy was announced and subsequently released worldwide on 6 August.

WHAT IS THE ACADEMY?
Within the lofty halls of the prestigious Scholomance Academy, the next generation of great fire flingers, axe swingers, and doom bringers study under the scrutinizing eye of Headmaster Kel’Thuzad. Whatever your martial or magical pursuit, the academy has the training grounds and study halls to transform you into the hero you’ve always known you could be. Just be sure you steer clear of what the Cult of the Damned may be meddling with beneath the campus grounds…

New with the expansion are dual class cards, not simply a Tavern Brawl gimmick. These cards are meant to play to the strengths of the corresponding classes and mechanics. The goth Warlock gets to work with the prim Priest with their set of cards, truly Hot Topic and Sanrio merged into dual class Hearthstone cards. There are the others of course, but I really wanted to make a stupid joke.

Dual class cards have appropriately dual-coloured borders.
As is the case with the other expansions with Hearthstone, a whole dearth of new cards have been introduced to shake up the rotation meta. It’s still in its infancy all things considered, so we’ll have to see the tech once the meta settles.

CLASH OF THE CARDS

In the early weeks, the balance of the cards seems to hit just right, though as mentioned, we might need to wait to see how fast Blizzard might choose to tweak the power level of cards. It’s not the complete domination of Pirate Warrior or Jade Druid, so there’s that! For now, every class has gotten nice buffs and flexibility in the dual class cards, which makes this expansion a decent, if not good time, for players to come back and play. Imagine, a meta where more decks are actually viable! We should be seeing this reflected in competitive too, as the season goes on.

The tempo of the game has also been sped up: no more 30 minute games! Chop chop, get going, 10 minutes should be enough. This is aided by the new keyword: Spellburst, and new spells: Studies. Spellburst is a one-time effect that takes place after you cast a spell, which can be anything from returning said spell to your hand, a destroy effect or summon effect. The swings in board state or acquiring value means either side can wrench advantages anyway they can.
This can especially apply for the Studies spells, that reduce costs. Anything that cheats costs couldn’t possibly be be bad, if you’re the one playing it. It’s a Discover effect with a bonus, and that one card could help you win the game. It’s randomness in effect once again, but a more controlled one.

There are unique ideas to be had here, and more spicy dual class cards should be something Blizzard should experiment more in the future to have the ladder run wild.
VERDICT

Faster paced games are welcome to avoid any one side to win on overall sheer value, with the Studies spells capable of finding a cheated out tempo, and dual class cards taking a greater advantage of class mechanics. Some of these cards, like Rogue’s Secret Passage – “Replace your hand with 5 cards from your deck. Swap back next turn” – opening up more interesting strategies, and helps at least the Rogue to avoid bricking with this 1 Mana-cost card.

School’s a place to learn and see what you stick to, or what sticks to you best, and Scholomance Academy is no different. I’d be looking forward to see what synergies future expansions can bring to give more bursts of flavour with the foundations laid out here!

■ Mythical era
The world was created by the goddess after the defeat of the devil.
As a result of the war, the goddess lives in heaven, humans live on the ground, and the devil has fled to the abyss.
■ People’s era
5 countries rose to power in the land, and although there were differences in politics, culture, race, and ethnicity; they coexisted and prospered.
However, the world has changed completely.
In the wake of the “”Great Division””, the land was broken and divided into 5 continents.
The “”fragmented”” land rapidly expanded across the world.
“”Fragmentation”” is a phenomenon peculiar to this world, in which a large cubic hole opens in the land.
These hole are connected to the “”Abyss”” and are known to be connected to the appearance of monsters.
These effects of “”fragmentation”” have made it difficult to travel between continents.
The divided countries face their own problems as well.
“”Increases in attacks from monsters””, “”travel and trade problems””, “”food shortages””, “”lack of resources””, “”civil war””, “”conspiracies””, “”inner conflict””
Although the world is in chaos and each country has faces strife, they do their best to survive.
Now that the unity of the five countries has disappeared due to “”fragmentation””, it is difficult to clarify and resolve the cause. The “”fragmentation””quickly spread to the world.
To address this issue, the goddess decided to increase the selection of “”restorers”” from the ground.
She decided to send restorers to each region to stop the progress of “”fragmentation””.
The goal of the game is to repair the fragmented lands and restore the world.
First, connect puzzles to repair the fragmented lands.

Manasis Refrain announces end of service

Manasis Refrain announced its end of service as of 14 June 2022. This end of service announcement is quite sudden, all things considered, about 8 months since the original launch of Manasis Refrain in Japan.

Servers will be shut down on 9 September 2022, 16:00 JST. More details regarding the short term plans leading up to the closure will be announced at a later date. Presently, plans include having the app taken down from the respective store pages on 11 July 2022, 16:00 JST, and in-app purchases will also be disabled then. Any remaining currency you have will be usable until the game officially shutters. Specifics about remaining currency will also be announced on the official website in the future, which should be regarding refunds.

As the story goes, there’s a legend where a hero with the power of “Manasis” sealed an evil Demon King, sparked from a war among the spirits, a war that almost destroyed the world. In order to prevent his return and fight back against the remnants of evil, academies were established to train the next generation. In time, the Demon King was forgotten, and the academies became primarily focused on more regular education to study mana and Manasis techniques.
It’s the unfortunate reality of live service games in which they can shut down at any time.

Pokemon GO Study Says Game Has Caused Over 5 Million USD Worth of Damage At Launch

A study by two researchers at Purdue University has shown that Pokemon GO has had an adverse effect on road safety in the state, even claiming lives.

In the open-access paper, Mara Faccio and John J. McConnell went through police reports in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and found a correlation between traffic accidents and Pokestop locations in Pokemon Go.

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

The takeaway from the paper was that the number of traffic accidents increased upon getting closer to PokeStops, the game’s points of focus based on real-world landmarks.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

“In total, the estimated incremental costs associated with these crashes range from $5.2 million to $25.5 million with the variability in the range being largely attributable to the value assigned to the two incremental lives lost”, the paper reads.
Of course, Faccio and McConnel are far from trying to start another Pokemon Panic like that of the early 90s. In the article, they account for the fact that there’s no direct causation – meaning while accidents did happen and Pokestops were present, it’s not like they found Pikachu fur at the site of the crash.
“It could be that the observed increase in crashes is not due to the introduction of Pokémon GO but to another shock that correlates with the introduction of the game and vehicular crashes”, they note in the paper.
They specifically note that simply having more people in the area could have had an impact on accidents, rather than the stereotype of drivers swerving three lanes because they heard a Pokemon spawn.
“It is, for example, possible that the introduction of Pokémon GO increased driving near Pokémon GO-related points of play as players drove to these locations for the purpose of playing the game, but did not play the game until after parking their cars”, the paper notes.
One of the points made by the paper was the estimated cost of all these Pokemon-related accidents. Ethical implications aside, the paper notes that their estimations varied depending on how they would choose to value lives lost.

That being said, their graph makes a very convincing point. The major spike directly coincides with the game’s release in the US, and the fact that Pokemon GO would later add warnings about playing while driving is sign that the smartphone game was at least partially the cause of these accidents.
At the end of the day, there’s only so much a smartphone game can do before the onus starts falling on adults to not be so enamored with a fictional rat that they wreck their car- or worse, their lives.

Hellena Taylor Reveals She Was Originally Offered $10,000 USD to Play Bayonetta

Hellena Taylor, the previous voice actress for Bayonetta, has now posted to Twitter revealing more details about the reason she left the role including that she was initially offered at least $10,000 USD total to play the character for Bayonetta 3.

Taylor says that the initial offer she received for Bayonetta was $10,000 and that after messaging Platinum Games Senior Vice President Hideki Kamiya, that offer was raised to $15,000. After this, she declined to voice the role and after 11 months she was offered to voice “some lines” for a flat fee of $4000 USD.

This can all be read on her original Twitter thread:

It has come to my attention that some people are calling me a liar and golddigger. I feel the need to defend myself and my reputation in the industry. See thread #PlatinumGames #Nintendo #Bayonetta #Bayonetta3 #Bayonutters #Boycott #NintendoEurope #NintendoAmerica #NintendoJapan

— Hellena Taylor (@hellenataylor) October 24, 2022

Miss Taylor holds that she was not asking for an excessive pay cut and just wanted what she believes to be “a fair, living wage in line with the value that I bring to this game.”
This controversy occurred just over a week ago when Taylor made four videos on Social Media saying that she left the role of Bayonetta because Platinum Games only offered to pay her a flat rate of $4000 for the entire voice role.
A Bloomberg Report by Jason Scheier which was further corroborated by other reliable journalists, however, said they received written evidence that Taylor was offered at least $15,000 but she turned it down wishing for a six-figure salary and residuals. She would later be offered $4000 for a cameo role in the game.
These latest posts by Taylor seem to corroborate with much of what was reported in the Bloomberg article. It seems that Hellena Taylor did misinform the public regarding the full situation which has now come to light.
Later in the thread, she holds that fans should donate to charities as opposed to buying Bayonetta 3 and implies that the journalists reporting on the controversy may have been bought off by higher-ups in the gaming industry in order to discredit her.

Bayonetta 3 will launch on the 28th of October for the Nintendo Switch.

Pokemon TCG Brilliant Stars Available Now

The newest expansion for the Sword and Shield rotation of the Pokemon TCG, titled Brilliant Stars, is available now at all supporting local game stores.

The expansion features a new mechanic, as well as a whole selection of new cards including the legendary Arceus in conjunction with the release of Pokemon Legends Arceus.

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

The new card type in the expansion is called VSTAR, and maximizes the risk-reward playstyle the V-series of cards brings with extremely powerful once-per-game abilities.

Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Note that the VStar limitation applies to all VSTAR powers- so once you use one, you’re not allowed to use any others, even if it’s from a different card. Choose wisely!
Like other sets in the Sword & Shield rotation, Pokemon TCG Brilliant Stars also features more V Pokemon and VMAX, letting you bring powerful Pokemon with shocking abilities to your roster to show your opponent what’s up.
A great example of this would be the new VMAX Mimikyu, which can put 13 damage counters over your opponent’s team in any way you like thanks to Ominous Numbers- great for farming prize cards by picking off damaged Pokemon or focusing down a particularly annoying Pokemon that’s been retreated to the bench.

The best part? This attack only costs two energy, but it will require you to play the Trainer card Acerola’s Premonition first. Still, it’s enough to make out with at least one prize card if your opponent isn’t careful, so consider running this to teach your opponents not to mess with Mimikyu.
More Trainer Gallery Cards That Feature Your Favorite Characters
If you’re just after great collectible art, you’ll also be pleased to know that Pokemon TCG Brilliant Stars will also feature more Trainer Gallery cards, showcasing Pokemon and their traners from the Pokemon games and anime hanging out together.
From classic trainers like Blue to new characters like Sonia from Sword and Shield, you’ll want to make sure you pick up your favorite trainers in packs from this expansion.

You can check out all the cards available in Pokemon TCG Brilliant Stars over at the Pokemon TCG Website, and you can pick up booster packs for the expansion at your friendly local game store.

Lead Gran Columbia to victory in Civilization VI!

You’ve seen Lady Six Sky of the Maya, so here’s Simón Bolívar of the Gran Colombia civilization, who will be joining her as the other leader of the Civilization VI Maya & Gran Columbia Pack. As a whole, they will be contained in the game’s New Frontier Pass, a new season pass that will bring eight new civilizations, nine new leaders, six new game modes and more. The Civilization VI Maya & Gran Columbia Pack will be launching today (21 May, 2020).

If you’re deciding on whether to get the pack, have a look at what Simón Bolívar brings:

Simón Bolívar’s units are a nimble force to be reckoned with, whether on offense or defense. With clever use of his many Comandante Generals, his army becomes nigh unstoppable.
Additional movement for military units makes long marches across the plains or hills a breeze for Gran Colombia, whether patrolling their own lands or liberating hostile lands. Field promotions do not end a unit’s turn, letting them get right back into the fray. With the addition of Comandante Generals, which join with each new era, Simón Bolívar’s army is further bolstered with additional combat strength and movement. The Llaneros are best near these Comandante Generals and other Llaneros, and serve as a powerful backbone for a mid-game military force. The Hacienda will provide sustenance and production to continue the war path. Simón Bolívar is best leading Gran Colombia towards a Domination Victory, though such might can divert resources to other paths as well.

Tetris Effect Review – A classic with modern elements

It has been a month since Tetris Effect was released for the Playstation 4. Since its release, the game has garnered worldwide attention and praise. Now, we have decided to do our own review on the critically-acclaimed game and determine whether it is worth all the praise.

Gameplay

Nothing much can be said on the gameplay other than it is Tetris. Other than standard Tetris mechanics, Tetris Effect brings along a new mechanic called “Zone”. The “Zone” allows players to stop time and drop multiple blocks during the duration without pressure. However, as a player of Tetris with much more simple mechanics, it takes a while to get used to the “Zone” mechanic. Basically, the overall gameplay Tetris with a new mechanic.

Music
If you like techno and Tetris, Tetris Effect delivers both for you
Now, the game has pretty good music and has that techno feel. The music is in sync with the theme and speed of the game. For example, when the game speed is low, the music played is slow as well. This applies vice versa. In addition, the sound effects when you align the blocks is quite satisfying. Every time when you align a block, a beat plays which is quite a nice touch. The music keeps players drawn into the game.
Visuals
Tetris Effect has brightly colored visuals that stimulate your sight constantly
The game is a visual beauty. Forget about the old classic look of Tetris, this one sets the standard for what new Tetris games should be like. The bright visuals keep the game lively. Each stage features different visuals hence it is not always the same. However, the visuals may be distracting for some people. We advise that you get used to it quickly for better experience.

Although it is not necessary, we recommend playing on the Playstation VR. The device gives you a full blown experience as the visuals surround you. Expect bright colors dancing around you as various shapes form from these colors. In addition, you can rotate the board to the blocks in full 3D.
Overall verdict

Tetris Effect truly deserves the praise and worldwide attention it has received for the past month. Although the gameplay has not changed much other than the additional mechanic, the game truly shines in the music and visual department. With both aspects, the game keeps you playing for more. Regardless if you are a fan of Tetris or not, you should try out this game.
On a side note, it is important to take breaks in between games as the visuals may cause minor discomfort especially with Playstation VR.

CONS

The most striking feature of Grimstalker is the way in which its rage levels affect the elements of nature at its command. Normally, it wields water and waves to hamper its adversaries’ movement. Once enraged, however, it switches to fire, unleashing devastating attacks of molten rock. You’ll want to make use of Elemental Lanterns in order to combat both types of attacks. And don’t let the beast escape unscathed whenever it leaves itself vulnerable!
With the new Kemeno, two new weapons can also be forged through the use of the Grimstalker materials as well as a new Fulgent armor set.
Wild Hearts free content update also includes three new higher difficulty quests that once bested will reward players with Chat Stamps and Emotes.

Indonesia Requires Game Companies To Register With Local Government

Indonesia has introduced regulations that see game companies looking to do business in the country registering with the government to do business in the country.

In a report published by Niko Partners, they mentioned the addition of regulation no. 5 of 2020 on Penyelenggara Sistem Elektronik Swasta (PSE) or Private Electronic System Providers.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

It covers any software offering services or doing business in Indonesia, and covers not just mobile games but also PC games and social media apps as well.
This regulation would see developers and other companies registering via the PSE website, and repeated failure to do so will ultimately be met with access termination in the country.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

According to the website it’s not entirely binary either, since there is a category for services that have been temporarily halted, too.
Currently over 280 foreign entities have registered with the list, with more recent games like Dislyte and older titles like Konosuba: Fantastic Days both being on the register.

According to the Niko Partners report, this move may draw some criticisms, as part of the registration involves handing over user information to the Indonesian Government, as well as legal vulnerabilities saying companies would be “prone to lawsuits” if found “disturbing public order”.
Unlike the regulations in China, which require games to have explicit approval on a title-by-title basis, it doesn’t look like there will be any kind of content screening for approval- though it seems likely that the disturbing public order clause can probably be used for revocation of permission if deemed necessary.
Indonesia is a hot country to watch in the SEA region, commonly ranked as the largest market among the countries there.
According to Appmagic, the top 5 games in Indonesia generated over 6 million USD in revenue in the past month, with titles like Mobile Legends and Garena Free Fire dominating the charts there.
While not mentioned explicitly, the Niko Partners report does say this move could also see more “fair” taxation of foreign entities in the country.

A Quiet Place is Getting a Horror Adventure Video Game

The popular horror series A Quiet Place, which recently released its second entry, A Quiet Place part II, will now be getting a video game adaptation.

The game will be published by Saber Interactive (World War Z game) and developed by Illogika (Subaeria, support developer for Cuphead and Assassin’s Creed London Gangs) and Ep1t0me (St Mercy comic book series). According to the official press release about the game will be an adaptation of either A Quiet Place movie but rather “a new single-player, story-driven horror adventure” set in the A Quiet Place universe.
“The amazing success of the A Quiet Place movies makes it clear audiences are hungry for more adventures in this universe, and Illogika is creating their own truly engaging experience that lives up to the name of this beloved property,” Saber Interactive head of publishing Todd Hollenshead said. “We are proud to say that A Quiet Place is the first game we will be releasing by an external studio from the growing Saber publishing label.”

The game is reportedly coming out in 2022.
While we don’t know the details of the gameplay yet, I would personally like to suggest one feature I think could work really well for a game like this.

The PC version of the survival horror game Alien Isolation has a feature that enabled you to use “noise detection”. This meant that you could hook a microphone to your PC which meant that when you made a sound, the Alien and other enemies would be able to hear you and find you more easily.
Considering the premise, such a feature sounds handcrafted for a video game based on ‘A Quiet Place’ and while I obviously have no way of influencing the game’s development, such a feature would be really cool, if only as a fan mod.
If you’re a fan of horror movies, check out our review of Halloween Kills and have a happy October.

During your journey, you will be experiencing all kinds of mysterious happenings amidst a gorgeous and beautiful landscape. Even the people you meet along the way are as mysterious, most of whom will leave you with difficult conundrums. In order to advance the story however, you will have to solve every mystery that comes your way. Unlike the brutal point and click adventure games of the past however, HitchHiker does help the player by dropping clues here and there to aid you. You will also be accompanied by various allies throughout your adventure, although it would be in your best interest not to trust the completely.

Genshin Impact Sweets Paradise Collaboration Announced [Updated]

Sweets Paradise has announced a Genshin Impact collaboration, bringing limited edition themed goods to fans.

The collaboration will be taking place at up to 12 different Sweets Paradise venues all across Japan, and features special art of various Genshin Impact characters dressed like cafe staff.

UPDATE (23/8): A second wave of collaborations has been announced featuring the Liyue arc characters, details below
The collaboration starts September 1st, and will run until the 30th of that month. They’ll be set up at places like Shinjuku, Harajuku as well as Nagoya. According to the website, the cafe will have a special menu of Genshin Impact-themed foods as well, though details about the food will be announced at a later date.

While the exact merchandise hasn’t been mentioned yet, the new illustrations features all the Monstadt characters from the game as cafe staff, including more recent additions such as Rosaria and Eula. While the art they’ve shown so far has them in a more chibi-style proportions, the fact that Albedo and Klee received full-proportioned art is a good sign for the rest of the cast as well.
Though purely speculation, the nature of these collaboration cafes makes it a safe bet that you’ll be able to see some form of pin badges, as well as possibly keychains and commemmorative coasters.

A second wave of the cafes has also been announced, featuring the characters from the game’s Liyue story chapters. The featured characters appear to be Hutao and Xiao, though as always the other characters also got redesigned in chibi form.
These cafes will run the entire month of October, extending the anniversary celebrations for Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact is incredibly popular in Japan, thanks largely in part to its heavy anime aesthetic as well as star-studded Japanese dub cast. Ads for the game are a common sight in Akihabara, so it makes sense that they would have such a large scale collaboration in the country.

Square Enix NFT Letter Prompts Fan Backlash

Square Enix published a letter doubling down on their previous commitment to NFT economies, drawing a lot of fan backlash over the controversial stance on blockchain technology.

The letter, written by Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda, takes aim at the so-called play-to-earn model- the idea that it’s better to have people play a game to make “money” via cryptocurrency rather than play it because it’s a beloved title of quality, as has worked out for Square Enix for the past 30 years.

“I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so”, the letter reads.
“However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make the game more exciting”, he continues.  “Traditional gaming has offered no explicit incentive to this latter group of people, who were motivated strictly by such inconsistent personal feelings as goodwill and volunteer spirit. This fact is not unrelated to the limitations of existing UGC (user-generated content). UGC has been brought into being solely because of individuals’ desire for self-expression and not because any explicit incentive existed to reward them for their creative efforts. I see this as one reason that there haven’t been as many major game-changing content that were user generated as one would expect”.

In the interests of journalistic integrity it should be noted that the Square Enix CEO is, objectively, wrong. The entire MOBA genre, one of the most prominent esports, owes its history to user generated content. You don’t get much more game-changing than turning an RTS into its own genre. Even the battle royale genre, of which Square Enix has participated in, owes its history to a fan-made mod for Arma 3.
He then continues on to say that if people played more Square Enix games for money, there would be an uptick in user generated content as if people haven’t been drawing Final Fantasy VII Fanart for the past two decades.
Fan Reaction To Square Enix Supporting NFT Integration
Fans have been quick to voice their displeasure at the letter, which ignores many of the downsides of all things blockchain- namely its increasingly high technology and energy costs. Many fans draw direct comparisons to Final Fantasy VII- arguably the most popular game and explicitly about corporate greed destroying the environment:

President of Square-Enix promoted to President of Shinra pic.twitter.com/NAoHq2GWMN
— Kolshio (@Kolshio) January 2, 2022

Some have even pointed out the real-world hypocrisy of Square Enix embracing the blockchain by bringing up the issues with Final Fantasy XIV Online- the game that couldn’t get enough servers to accommodate its very successful expansion launch for Endwalker specifically because of the semiconductor shortage, caused in part by the uptick in cryptocurrency.
Finally, longer-resenting fans have also called out what they believe to be misguided effort on Square Enix’s part. The fans are wishing that Square Enix had instead used all this effort and energy to actually market their non-Final Fantasy titles, such as this year’s well-reviewed but under-performing NEO: The World Ends with You

square enix has spent more effort marketing nfts than it has on marketing neo: twewy
— sisi jiang / 姜思琪 (@six6jiang) January 1, 2022

It should be noted this kind of backlash isn’t unique to games that create masterpieces with environmental messaging either- both Ubisoft and the upcoming title STALKER 2 both spoke out in support of the blockchain, only to continue to be met with backlash by fans.
While it did prompt a backdown from the STALKER 2 developers, Ubisoft has only continued to double down on the feature.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is not an open world game! Closer to Monster Hunter

It has been confirmed that Pokemon Legends: Arceus will not be an open-world game and its style of play will be closer to the Monster Hunter series than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

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

While many have got the impression that the new Pokemon game will allow players to seamlessly roam through the Hisui Region, that may not be the case. In a statement made to Kotaku, The Pokémon Company confirmed that Pokémon Legends: Arceus will not be an open-world game. Instead, the game will feature a structure based on missions or levels.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Jubilife Village will serve as the base for surveying missions. After receiving an assignment or a request and preparing for their next excursion, players will set out from the village to study one of the various open areas of the Hisui region. After they finish the survey work, players will need to return once more to prepare for their next task. We look forward to sharing more information about exploring the Hisui region soon.

The gameplay in Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be closer to the Monster Hunter series than to open-world games. In Monster Hunter, players have a hub area, where they can create equipment and prepare food that adds to the buff effect during the hunt. Different hunts send players to specific locations, where the monsters they are looking for roam the area. It looks like the game will have a similar design, with Jubilife Village being the hub, and different areas in Hisui prefecture acting as game stages.
Keep in mind, these areas will still be fairly big in their own right, just not attached together
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing though. This kind of level structure has never detracted from the fun of the Monster Hunter series, so there’s no reason why it should for Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Monster Hunter World and Rise have seen critical acclaim and sales even without being fully open world. Ultimately Pokemon Legends should be judged for what it is instead of what it’s not and if the game is well made, then it shouldn’t matter whether it’s a fully open-world or not.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be released for the Nintendo Switch on January 28nd 2022

The stage is set at the tropical resort of Jabberwock Island, and players improve their characters via the “Development (Boardgame),” “Battle,” and so on.
Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is the dream crossover of Danganronpa characters with over 1,000 event scenes, and offers new swimsuit outfits for all characters.
Also, players can now collect collab illustrations drawn for merchandise in the Mono Mono Machine!
・Game features
Development (Boardgame)
The main part of the game in which players will develop their character over 50 days (50 turns) of summer camp on Jabberwock Island. Roll a die to determine how many spaces to move. An event will be triggered depending on which square the character lands on. Each character has various stats, including level. Character stats improve by leveling up, stopping on a Growth Square, or interacting with other characters on Event Squares. Bosses placed by Monokuma and monster battles triggered by Battle Squares will impede the player’s path along the way. Talent Squares grant Talent Fragments, which grant characters new skills. Players will also need to acquire weapons and armor at shops and treasure chests as well as utilize cards featuring useful effects to their advantage.
Battle
A Battle Mode can be played separately from the Battle Squares found in the boardgame. Develop characters and form a party of up to four members and take on the 200-floor Tower of Despair where Monokuma-type monsters await. In the Tower of Despair, enemies attack in waves, and the player is rewarded with Monokuma Medals upon victory. Players need to increase their characters’ levels while learning skills and gearing up their characters in order to emerge victorious.
School Store
In the School Store, players can spend Monokuma Medals and Monocoins they’ve obtained in battle to gain new characters and support items using the MonoMono Machine. Each character has different rarities, and the higher the rarity, the faster they will grow in Development mode.

Gundam Hathaway Coming Exclusively to Netflix

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway, the newest Gundam movie set after the events of Char’s Counterattack, is coming to Netflix.

Netflix put out a new trailer for their Netflix GEEKED event, saying that they would be distributing Gundam Hathaway outside of Japan. No release date has been given either, so we won’t know when the movie is coming to the streaming platform.

We also got our first real look at the plot of Gundam Hathaway, which sees a Hathaway Noa still plagued by the events of Char’s Counterattack. Things get worse with the arrival of Mafty Nevue Erin, a presumably-Newtype likened to Char Aznable.
We don’t know much more than that, but the movie is definitely going to be a must-watch for those hankering for more Universal Century, especially pre-Gundam Unicorn.

From the outset the plot seems very similar to another follow-up movie, Gundam Narrative. Narrative was largely about retreading the first movie (in its case, Unicorn), trying to prevent someone from being the second coming of its primary antagonist. From the little we’ve seen of Gundam Hathaway, it doesn’t look like the series will be doing all that much different.
It also looks like Sunrise seems to be relying on Netflix for distributing Gundam to overseas fans, especially after the recent addition of the original Gundam trilogy and Char’s Counterattack on the platform. Similarly, Gundam Unicorn has been a mainstay of the platform’s anime lineup.

While clearly following the MOBA formula, Pokemon Unite makes several changes to make the game more accessible to players. One of these is the removal of team creeps, as well as the iconic tower structure MOBAs are known for.
Instead, the game uses capture points more akin to games like Overwatch and TF2, where you’ll have to hold positions on the map if you want your team to win.

In a stroke of Pokemon-esque twist, you’ll also be growing your Pokemon, as they start from their basic stages and evolve as you level them up in the game, starting from humble forms like Charmander and evolving all the way up to Charizard, where they’ll be able to unlock powerful Unite Moves, the game’s version of ultimate abilities.
However, it should be noted that for hardcore fans of the Pokemon series, elemental bonuses don’t count in this game, similar to Pokken Tournament, so don’t expect type-matchups to matter and be surprised when they ultimately don’t.

Warhammer Odyssey Introduces The Archmage Class

Warhammer Odyssey, the upcoming MMO based on the old Warhammer Fantasy Battle series, announced new details regarding one of the upcoming classes. The team talked about the upcoming Archmage in greater detail.

The High Elf Archmage is a force to be reckoned with, some of the most powerful magic wielders in the Old World. Their power, honed by centuries of dedication and practice, can turn the simple gesture of their hands into spells to protect their allies or destruction that can lay waste to an entire battlefield. While during war the Archmages were typically used in advisory roles to the king, their scholarly appearance belies almost untold power.

Gameplay-wise, Archmages will have access to a variety of spells. These can range from support-based protection and healing spells, to powerful spells with high DPS.
