Beasts Evolved to claw its way into smartphones soon

Developer Reality Squared Games has just announced Beasts Evolved, a side-scrolling monster breeder with RPG elements for the smartphones. Despite the mish mash of genres, the game is fairly straightforward, as you will be assembling a team consisting of five monsters to your enemies.

Astute gamers will notice that the game very much resembles Patapon, a PSP classic, although Beasts Evolved plays nothing like it. Each monster in your team has its own role and skillset to deal with foes, so understanding each unit’s abilities and strengths will be imperative.

Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery delayed to 2022

Initially with a placeholder release date of October 2021, Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery has been officially delayed to 2022. The announcement comes with an update from Sunborn Network through their Steam store page, detailing their development progress so far:

Dear agents,

First off, we want to thank you for all your support for Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery.
The very first trailer for Reverse Collapse was released over two years ago in 2019, and we have not stopped working on this project since. This is a remaster of our first game, Code Name: Bakery Girl (2013), so it represents something special and meaningful to us. This is also an opportunity for us to make up for our shortcomings as an amateur game developer in our earlier years, so our team really went all-in to infuse the script with elaborate storylines, graphics, characters, levels, and mechanics. We hope that the final product will be presented as an exciting new experience that captures the essence of Code Name: Bakery Girl.

Beyond the visual update and code optimization, we came up with a lot of new and interesting ideas in the development process for Reverse Collapse, some of which have already debuted during live streams and offline demos, while other core content is still undergoing QA and optimization. Therefore, we have decided to move the release to 2022 so that the team can continue to work on the new content until the entire game is complete and polished.
To wit, the cliffnotes includes:

Jumanji: The Mobile Game – Soft Launching In Thailand And Canada!

If you are from the ’90s, you’d probably remember the good ‘ol movie Jumanji which starred the late Robin Williams (tears rolling *sniff). It was an epic movie back then which was revived again in 2017 which will star our giant Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), comical Jack Black and Kevin Hart and many other notable actors. However, did you know NHN Entertainment collaborated with developer Idiocracy Games and Sony Pictures Consumer Products to create a Jumanji mobile game?

The game dubbed Jumanji: The Mobile Game has just launched their pre-registration, giving us a heads up on their official global launch which will land on the 14th of December 2017! They had even soft-launched the game in Thailand and Canada to test the waters and fix some bugs (if there are). While people like us (from the ’90s) are excited about the movie based game, we would also like to inform you guys what the game is about.

Jumanji based off the movie is a board game which comes to life which follows a series of misfortunes that befalls the roller of dice. However the mobile game is a little different. It was turned into a deck building RPG-slash-board game style where players get to engage with characters based from the 2017 movie. Players will need to customize their decks with collectible cards to help avoid traps from Jumanji with Skill Cards and also engage in battle against your enemies.

However the game is not just some RPG-slash-board game, players will need to conquer landmarks like rivers or ruins. As you need to conquer them, there are enemies (other players) that will try to steal your gold so there is a raiding system here. There are different characters which helps enhances your deck based on your playstyle like Dr. Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson) or Professor Shelly Oberon (Jack Black). Because it’s a deck building game, it is up to you on how you want to play the game!

We spoke with Mark Webley, Studio Director and Chris Knott, Lead Animator on Two Point Campus about their bold attempts at gamifying the education system.
How Important Is Money In Education?
As anyone who’s graduated in the past 5 years would be familiar with, it was quite alien to hear Chris and Mark say that the goal of a university in Two Point Campus wasn’t just straight As and a fat paycheck. According to them, they had to break the formula for management sims and start looking at other so-called “win-states”.

“As we are currently developing the game, one of big conversation we had is “How important is money?” I mean it’s there on the HUD, how much money you’ve got, you need the money to do this and that, but it’s not necessarily your goal”, Mark says.  “Make as much money or make as much profit as you can, get your capital up…we are kinda talking about get the grades high, get the students’ happiness high and getting people graduated”.
“Money is kind of, well, it’s important, because without the money you won’t be able to train your staff, you won’t be able to upgrade your equipment, you won’t be able to expand your campus, so it’s there. But the focus isn’t on money money money”.

“A lot of conversation we’re having about Should it even be on the HUD? As we ended up, it is on the HUD, but its almost like “should it be a smaller sort of  icon there” vs a big “this is how your students are doing” as one of the main ones”.
That being said, they also didn’t want to take away from player choice. According to Chris, the idea of an Education-for-Profit does exist in the game, and the game still allows you to play it that way.
“We have actually put that in there, you can play the game like that”, Chris says.
“If you want to be really mercenary you can just try to make money. But then you don’t care as much about the students. So if you have students who are struggling then you’ll get rid of them. “I don’t want him, get rid of him I only want A+ students, I don’t want anyone else”. “, he continues. “You can play the game that way but then the students welfare suffers. The other students will become unhappier because they can see them being treated so badly. So it becomes harder to do it that way, but then if that’s your actual goal and that’s the way you want to play the game, it’s up to you, to the player”.

Mark seconded the point of player choice, too. Rather than give players a template Campus that they’d need to follow, they’ve made the game in such a way that it’s more about managing the various knobs and dials of the game, such as player expectations, particularly when you’ve been cranking up fees.
“If [fees] goes up, they will expect a lot more. So, you know, you’ll have to do plenty of other things to keep their happiness high because if they are paying a lot of money for just a rubbish course, then they won’t be happy”, Mark says. “We’ve given the objectives and the guides to make sure the players always know what they are doing, the direction they were going”.
As Chris says, we kinda want it to have a bit of a guided sandbox, if you will. Two people can play it [differently]- even in the studio, one person will spend all their money on beautifying things. Some people just don’t care what they look like and will go “efficiency! efficiency!” and “This is how it’ll work, bedrooms need to be by the Student Union” and theres a lot of stuff to beautify, amplify, and the landscaping and the inside.
Our University Days
Making a University simulator also brings with it new challenges- while not many people might have formative memories of being patients in a hospital, many people would have some memory of being university students. Listening to Mark and Chris talk about it, it seemed very clear that they wanted to do right by these experiences, by making a game that respected them as more than just another financial scheme.
“I think one of the overriding things about Campus is, as we talk about it, you don’t go “oh yeah I had an amazing Lecturer,” or “I did an amazing course” “, says Mark.
“You said “I saw an amazing band, I had brilliant friends”. It’s a social life of a University that’s the kind of stuff we’re talking about and how you’d remember doing this and doing that. I think that kind of laid the bedrock”, he continues. “Education of course is absolutely important, that’s why you’re there but we wanted to cater for personal bias and keep your students happy and it’s also the first time people move away from home and looking after them emotionally and keep them entertained and giving them opportunity to have relationships”.
“Obviously with [Two Point] Hospital, you just wanted everyone to not die. That was your main goal”, Chris says. “Try to heal everybody. Make sure they were ok and then walk them out the door. You wanted them to go away”.

The core of Two Point Campus is, of course, the students. Listening to them talk about the students was almost like they were having a mini graduation, reading out a typical convocation speech.
“With Campus, you’ve got these kids for three years, so when they first come to you they were young they haven’t done anything. They are fresh-faced kids in university, and you change so much in those years, just those three years in university”, he continues.
“You’ve grown, you’ve had your first relationship, your first argument, You might find your first enemies, you know, you might find the love for something you didn’t know existed, you’re confronted with opinions that are not yours. So it was a great idea of a setting for a game because there’s so many things we can do. And to help to make the player enjoy kinda molding these little characters”.
“You’ve grown, you’ve had your first relationship, your first argument, You might find your first enemies, you know, you might find the love for something you didn’t know existed, you’re confronted with opinions that are not yours”- Chris Knott
Speaking of, a lot of care was taken into making these students read well to the player. From your spot in the celestial management desk, you wouldn’t really have time to deal with each student individually- so instead, the game sorts students into different archetypes, all with their own unique traits.
“There’s a lot of more animations in Campus than there were in Hospital, that is because the students are doing so many more things and they are there for so much longer”, Chris explains. “When we are in Hospital, they come and they get cured and they go home. Whereas here, we got them for years, so we wanted them to be much more expressive and alive and interact with each other”.

“Yeah we got the archetypes of students, so we got some jocks…some cheerleaders, all those kind of stereotypes, university tropes, I suppose, and they all needed their own animations”, he continues. “So you got a year in the campus, you’ll find that different students will dance in a different way, the goths will dance like [zombie dancing], or some jocks would be like (screaming and yelling and really pumped up)”.
Of course, there’s more to each student than just their assigned stereotype. Building off of that, students can have individual needs, which you’ll want to learn to take care of to keep your students happy.
“So with all these kind of different things, these people are, as we all are, very different from each other”- Mark Webley
“We just try to give them personality as well, so to say like the different archetypes, and then even within the archetype there’s different traits as well, let’s say some people are quite unhygenic, go to toilet, not wash their hands or not use the showers very often. or some people don’t need to eat very much”, Mark says. “So with all these kind of different things, these people are, as we all are, very different from each other”.
“We might have some kids that are very very intelligent but also neurotic, so they are worried all the time, so you have to have pastoral cats to comfort them, you know? You have to care for them to get the best out of them. If you want to”, Chris says. “Or, as I said, you can just get them expelled. *chuckles* I just want someone that is clever and easy to look after. But there is a knock-on effect to that. Again, it’s about how you want to play”.
“The game we’ve made and designed are about caring and looking after people, as Hospital was”, he says.
Kiss Kiss Fall In Love
I see you come, I watch you go; you never seem to leave me, though. So is this love or hate? We’ll see…you’re makin’ me crazy!
Of course, you’d be hard-pressed to find some uni student who hadn’t discovered romance in their tertiary years. Relationships are a big part of Two Point Campus, with many students being so hormone-driven that they’d straight-up ask the overseer to build more romantic vistas on campus.
“I think the relationship thing is, as we’ve said earlier,University is a time of making your best friends, meeting somebody romantically as well, that’s more in the player’s control. If they wanna put items that might encourage people to fall in love, then they can do that”, Mark explains.
“Our students want to grow, they want to become better and have relationships and do all these things. So they will ask you to help them do it”- Chris Knott
“As people meet, they form friendships. As they kind of level up their friendships, there’ll be more things they want to do like different items that they need to kind of level up their relationship. That’s why we’re kind of keen to do this as we kind of get deeper and deeper into our world of Two Point County. Having characters that you can care about and just make you struggle makes them able to level up their relationships”, he goes on. “Having a good relationship helps your happiness level, it gives you a sense of stability”.
It also plays into a fantasy no one in management hasn’t had- the idea of being trusted by people  under you. According to Chris, you’ll get requests from students to help them grow:
“The students will send you notes saying like “I really like this thing. Can you put an item down in this hall to improve my happiness” or “I’m really into this course” or “I’d like to do a bit of extra work for my assignments but I need this item”, he explains.
“Our students want to grow, they want to become better and have relationships and do all these things. So they will ask you to help them do it. You can choose not to”, he continues, laughing like someone hardened by years as an educator would.
The World Is Your Classroom
Of course, one more important part about making a game about university is that, much unlike what some of our upbringings might have suggested, it’s no good only staying indoors and studying. Chris and Mark have made it such that you’ll need to factor in the outside world too, as part of how you’ll need to plan your curriculum in the game’s many levels.
“We kinda want it to have a bit of a guided sandbox, if you will”, Mark says. “Two people can play it [differently]- even in the studio, one person will spend all their money on beautifying things. Some people just don’t care what they look like and will go “efficiency! efficiency!” and “This is how it’ll work, bedrooms need to be by the Student Union” and there’s a lot of stuff to beautify, amplify, and the landscaping and the inside”.
“But that’s one of the biggest differences between Campus and Hospital, The outside is now just as big a part of the game as the inside”, Chris says. “Obviously in Hospital you just have the Hospital and people would arrive and you let them in. Whereas in Campus, we’d given you the tools to be able to create and play with the outside of your campus as much as the buildings themselves. Because it’s so much more important to the students health and well-being and happiness”.

“So for someone like me who likes to just spend hours fiddling and playing with things to make it looks good, it’s great! I can spend hours doing it. I end up in debt, but I have a fantastic looking campus and my students are really happy. So it’s great”, Chris says.
It’s not just extracurricular activities too- according to Mark, students can have outdoor modules, too.

“To be fair there are some courses, that are outside-based”, Mark says. “So things like knight school you obviously got jousting fields and combat fields, you have the lectures inside but there’s plenty of stuff outside. There’s archaeology course where, you are digging into the ground. That’s very cool”.
“Well its healthier for students to be outside as well. You look at your students and as they’re outside their health bar starts to go up. A bit of fresh air is good if you’re gonna be stuck in front of a computer screen”, he goes on.
If you’ve any love for management sims, you’re probably going to want to check out Two Point Campus. Chris and Mark clearly put a lot of love and thought into planning out how to be the overseer of people’s college lives, turning what would normally be a simple cause-effect genre into something more qualitative as you balance caring for students and making ends meet.
Our thanks to Chris and Mark for answering our questions, and you can pick up Two Point Campus when it drops on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on August 9th, 2022.

Effluvium-tainted effects in this event quest – RE: Return of the Bioweapon – will not result in effluvial buildup. It will inflict a new “zombified” status effect, thus Effluvia Resistance has no effect during the quest. Cure yourself of Zombified by gathering the special quest item “green herbs”. Find the rare “red herb” to combine with a green herb for an item with even stronger effects. Collect as much as possible to prepare against zombification!
Zombification limits mobility and nullifies regular healing effects. However, you can recover health automatically, but slower when your weapon is drawn. You’ll get unique zombie-like movement and damage reactions are negated. You might be able to use the zombie status to your advantage!

You can also dodge roll when on a quest to remove the gesture effect.
Raccoon City: Zombie Bite: Lunge forward to bite like a zombie! It can even slightly damage monsters in your way. This gesture can be performed any time, but loses some strength when not zombified.

Vivo NEX Is The Next Best Thing Coming To Malaysia!

Today, Vivo had launched their latest flagship smartphone, NEX, in Malaysia! The NEX features a notch-free Ultra FullView Display which offers us a 91.24% screen-to-body ratio. This is Vivo’s premium line-up which is also the world’s first elevating front camera and bezel-less display in a smartphone. That means, the camera would slide out from the back, revealing the front camera. Keeping up with the latest technology and applying it onto the NEX, it is the next best thing to have in Malaysia!

“We’re very excited to bring this ground-breaking flagship to consumers in Malaysia,” said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of Vivo Malaysia, “NEX is the culmination of many long months of developing breakthrough technologies like the Elevating Front Camera and In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology. With NEX, we hope to encourage our industry to continue pondering ‘What’s next?’ and inspire consumers to re-imagine the mobile experience.”

Designing a Truly Bezel-Less Experience for Users
NEX’s Ultra FullView Display comes in the form of a 6.59-inch Super AMOLED display with a 91.24% screen-to-body ratio. Achieving this requires several technologies that help free up more space for the screen on NEX.
Th 8MP Elevating Front Camera hides in the body of the phone and elevates in just one second to allow consumers to take selfies exactly as they have in the past. NEX also replaces the traditional earpiece speaker entirely with its Screen SoundCasting Technology by turning the screen into a speaker. This technology not reduces the top bezels, but also enhances sound quality with more powerful bass, and soft, smoother treble. To further reduce bezels, NEX adopts Vivo’s 3rd generation in-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology that has improved in both accuracy and speed, following Vivo’s successes with the X20UD and X21. This technology hids the fingerprint sensor underneath the display while still delivering fingerprint access on the front of the phone.

AI Capabilities for a Smarter Mobile Experience
NEX incorporates AI technologies that make the smartphone truly smart. NEX features a left-side AI Button for Jovi strictly to a full range of AI services including Google Assistant and Google Lens. All these services are supported by Vivo’s latest AI Engine which tripples AI computing power when compared to its predecessors.
Google Assistant can help with everyday situations like map navigation, online shopping, travel arrangements, music, video and even social media, while Google Lens, backed by advanced deep learning algorithms, can let users search what they see.

Snap Amazing Shots with AI Photography
NEX has upgraded the camera with a new generation Sony IMX363 lens and high precision 4-axis Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) combined with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). Featuring a range of AI Photography features such as AI Scene Recognition, AI HDR, AI Filters and AI Portrait Framing, NEX helps users take great photos regardless of the surroundings.

Powerful Performance
NEX comes with a top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and 8GB of RAM so it never hesitates, even when running the most intensive games. NEX also packs an Adreno 630 Graphic Processing Unit which is 30% more powerful than its predecessor, as well as more energy efficient.
The launch of NEX adds another milestone to Vivo’s list of industry-firsts. From being the first to put a Hi-Fi audio chip in a smartphone, launching the world’s thinnest smartphone at the time of its release, to taking the first In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology to market, time and again Vivo has revolutionized and propelled the mobile user experience to another leve. NEX demonstrates Vivo’s determination to test the limits and break industry conventions.
Availability
Vivo NEX will be available at RM2799 in all Vivo concept stores and authorized resellers nationwide from 28 July 2018 onwards.

They also showed off more of the gameplay for the game, as you play as a rabbit with a robot exosuit that lets you pull off stylish combos.
Speaking of, it looks like the game will have a pretty robust combo system, as the trailer shows off its air combos, letting you launch enemies already in the air to keep them up there longer.

You also have a horizontal dash, similar to the one you’d see in Metroidvanias like Blasphemous. Since upgrades are a core part of that genre’s playstyle, it’s not known just how wild FIST will get with its upgrades, or even how much of what we saw was stuff you’ll be able to do out of the box.
The game also shows off what appears to be several of its epic bossfights, including a massive serpent firing off projectiles that you’ll have to dodge bullet-hell style and what appears to be more characters using mechanical exo suits similar to the main character.

[TGS 2019] One Punch Man A Hero Nobody Knows Hands On

There is a lot of exciting game booth coming in hot in Tokyo Games Show 2019. The strongest hero ever have made its appearance in Tokyo Games Show.

One Punch Man A Hero Nobody Knows is a fighting game. You start off selecting a roster of heroes that you may know and love from the anime. You can choose up to any three heroes including Saitama!

Considering Saitama can defeat his enemy in one punch, I say this will be a perfectly balanced to the gameplay for the game. If the both first and second choice of heroes gets defeated before Saitama can arrive, the game will be over. You can shorten the timer by having your combos executed perfectly. When Saitama faced of with another Saitama, Saitama can’t be topple down like other heroes. Your move gauge fills up slowly but you can charge it up manually. You can dash towards your opponents with a cost of leaving a huge opportunity for your opponent to strike you down.
One Punch Man A Hero Nobody Knows will be available in Playstation 4, PC and Xbox One. The release date is unknown so we will be updating you once One Punch Man A Hero Nobody Knows announced!

Height: 0’08”
Weight: 17.6 lbs.

Name: Melmetal
Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
Type: Steel
Height: 8’02”
Weight: 1,763.7 lbs.

Meltan evolves to Melmetal. From a tiny little Pokemon, Meltan evolves to a huge and heavy Melmetal who’s a steel type with a powerful set of moves. Melmetal’s unique Steel-type attack is the Double Iron Bash that has a chance to flinch the target! Melmetal is a strong Pokemon, but you will have to catch it first!

However, Meltan does not appear randomly in the city nor is he catch-able until you opened the Mystery Box. The Mystery Box will be given to you when you send a Pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! Sending Pokemon over to the Switch will net you with candies and certain items on Pokemon go. However, you will receive the Mystery Box when you send your first Pokemon over.

The Mystery Box will open once it’s used and that’s when Meltan starts to appear on your surroundings for a certain amount of time! Once it’s over, you will have to send over another Pokemon over to your Switch to receive another Mystery Box after a set amount of time. Though, you can only have a single Mystery Box at a time.

Once you’ve caught a Meltan, transfer it over to the Switch and you can have it walk with you anywhere you go. Melmetal is huge but unfortunately our character in Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! does not get to ride on its back or shoulder like we could on Onix. But it does look cool having a huge shiny metal Pokemon walking around by your side!

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

Acer unveiled their Predator Orion 5000 and Orion 3000 series of gaming desktops as well as Predator X32, X32 FP and CG48 gaming monitors. Acer also announced that the Predator X32 earned a CES Innovation Award in the “Computer Peripherals & Accessories” category.

Predator Orion 5000 — Full-Sized Gaming Desktop

The Predator Orion 5000 combines up to the latest 12th Gen Intel® CoreTM i7 processor (on an Intel H670 chipset) with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU in order to deliver high frame rates and incredible gaming experiences, even in the most graphically-demanding games. Alongside Windows 11, 64 GB of 4,000 MHz DDR5 RAM and up to 2 TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs, ARGB-infused Predator FrostBladeTM 2.0 fans support these powerful internals, keeping the system cool. This generation of fans utilize a static pressure design to optimize airflow, while sealed rifle bearings and a new arc-shaped design along the ends of the fans’ fins reduce vibration and noise.

Housed within an obsidian-hued chassis made of darkened glass and metal mesh, all this bleeding-edge hardware and ARGB flair show through a transparent side panel—the panel is also EMI-compliant, serving to protect users and their peripherals from potential electromagnetic interference. DIY enthusiasts will appreciate the chassis’ tool-less design that allows for easy access to the computer’s internals—such as to upgrade the CPUs’ air cooler to up to a 240 mm liquid cooler—and also its flexible configuration options that maximize future upgradability.

Latency-reducing features include Killer E3100G 2.5G Ethernet Controller and Intel Wi-Fi 6E for more reliable internet, while DTS:X® Ultra allows gamers to turn any pair of headphones or speakers into a high-end 360-degree sound system. Four USB ports (3x Type-A and 1x Type-C) and audio-jacks conveniently positioned on top of the chassis allow for ease of access, while several more on the back of the tower keep infrequently-moved cables out of sight.
The Predator Orion 5000 gaming desktops will be available in North America in February starting at USD 2,599; in EMEA in March starting at EUR 1,999; and in China in January starting at RMB 14,999. Exact specifications, prices, and availability for the Predator Orion 5000 gaming desktops may vary by region.

Predator Orion 3000 — Mid-tower Gaming PC
With up to a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor (on an Intel B660 chipset) and up to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, the Predator Orion 3000 series is designed for gamers seeking the best experience that a mid-tower rig can deliver: gamers who want to max settings in their favorite titles and dive into streaming or video editing with little to no impact on performance. Up to 64 GB of 3,200 MHz DDR4 memory and 2 TB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage tops the hardware off to increase responsiveness and load times, all supporting lightning-fast gaming action. Just in case 2 TB of SSD storage isn’t quite enough, 6 TB of SATA3 HDD storage is also included.
The Predator Orion 3000 Series features the same attractive design as the Orion 5000, wreathed in darkened glass, plastic, metal and mesh, with an optional transparent EMI-compliant side panel. Three 92×92 mm Predator FrostBladeTM 2.0 fans optimize airflow and cool the internals. Additionally, the hub of the front and rear fans have RGB LEDs built directly onto them, the lighting of which can be controlled via the PredatorSenseTM software.

An Intel Killer E2600 Ethernet controller, Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (Gig+) and Control Center 2.0 provide players with all the tools necessary to clear out online competition, while DTS:X Ultra lets them experience their favorite movies, music and games with real-world spatial sound.
The Predator Orion 3000 comes with Windows 11 out of the box. It will be available in North America in February starting at USD 1,999; in EMEA in March starting at EUR 1,299; and in China in January starting at RMB 11,999. Exact specifications, prices, and availability for the Predator Orion 3000 gaming desktops may vary by region.

Predator X32 and X32 FP Gaming Monitors
The new Predator X32 and X32 FP gaming monitors have been carefully engineered to balance the performance gamers expect with the visual brilliance creators need. Featuring 160 Hz and 165 Hz (overclocked) refresh rates, respectfully, both of these UHD (3,840×2,160) 32-inch monitors also boast VESA DisplayHDRTM 1000 certifications, IPS panels that support 576-zone miniLED local dimming, Delta E<2 color accuracy and 99% coverage of the AdobeRGB color gamut. As a result, they deliver stunningly clear and fluid visuals that are essential for tracking objects as they zip across the screen.
The Predator X32 leverages the exceptional performance of NVIDIA G-SYNC® ULTIMATE to deliver lifelike HDR and ultra-low latency, resulting in a better gaming experience. Players of competitive multiplayer games will appreciate NVIDIA Reflex, a suite of GPU, G-SYNC, and software technologies that measure and reduce system latency (a.k.a click-to-display latency) in online games — ultimately helping players to acquire targets faster, react quicker, and increase aim precision. Additionally, this monitor earned a CES Innovation Award.

The Predator X32 FP comes with an HDMI 2.1 port, meaning that players can enjoy 4K gaming not only on PC but also on console. With a 165 Hz (overclock) refresh rate and a 1 ms response time, it’s the fastest 4K monitor currently available. AMD FreeSyncTM Premium Pro technology further enhances the gameplay experience, supporting HDR capabilities and delivering buttery smooth visuals and low latency even during graphically-intensive scenes. A USB Type-C port is also available, offering 90W of power delivery.
The Predator X32 gaming monitor will be available in North America in Q3 2022 starting at USD 1,999; in EMEA in Q3 2022 starting at EUR 1,899; and in China in Q2 2022 starting at RMB 12,999. The Predator X32 FP gaming monitor will be available in North America in Q2 2022 starting at USD 1,799; in EMEA in Q2 2022 starting at EUR 1,599; and in China in March starting at RMB 10,999. Exact specifications, prices, and availability for these products may vary by region.

Predator CG48 Gaming Monitor
Big enough to be a TV replacement, the Predator CG48 gaming monitor offers players 48 inches of pure 4K glory, even at refresh rates of 138 Hz. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 mean that players can enjoy a next-level gaming experience even on consoles, while four USB 3.2 ports and a USB Type-C port offer more than enough room to host any extra peripherals desired. From there, AMD FreeSyncTM Premium Pro technology and up to a 0.1 ms response time (G-to-G) allow for some of the fastest 4K gaming possible: Each AMD FreeSyncTM Premium Pro technology display is designed to ensure a smooth, variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming experience that minimizes tearing, stuttering, artifacts and flicker.

The Predator CG48’s OLED display leverages a 135K:1 contrast ratio, HDR10 and 98% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut in order to offer one of the most stunning visual experiences currently possible. OLED monitors are capable of turning off individual pixels, allowing for true blacks to be replicated. They also do not require backlighting, increasing the overall efficiency of the monitors.
The Predator CG48 gaming monitor will be available in North America in Q3 2022 starting at USD 2,499; in EMEA in Q3 2022 starting at EUR 2,199; and in China in Q2 2022 starting at RMB 14,999. Exact specifications, prices, and availability for the Predator CG48 gaming monitor may vary by region.

“A mysterious new substance was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System.
Almost half a century later, the same substance resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe.
Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds themself in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.”

In addition, the revised edition will increase the size of the book from B5 to A4. The increased size will be able to better accommodate the concept art and illustrations in the book. Furthermore, the book will have a total of 272 pages, which is a fair amount of content.
Unfortunately, the revised edition will only be available in Japanese. Just like the original book, it seems unlikely there will be an English version. Thankfully, a fan translation of the original Grimoire NieR exists, and you can read it here.
Those who are interested can pre-order the book on Amazon Japan for 2,970 yen (about 27 USD).
