At time of writing, the 100k milestone has been achieved.
The game has a system where you can play the song to completion just like a typical rhythm game, but if you and your team are capable enough, you can also “spellbreak” and defeat the boss to end the song right there and then. There will be five difficulty options, ranging from Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Lunatic. The “Mitama Cards” have both passive and active functions, the latter utilized in attacking bosses.
You’ll be rebuilding Gensokyo that has fallen to ruin in this game, where you’ll be able to rebuild various iconic locations of Gensokyo. You’ll also be able to have your own space to decorate. A stream revealing this information and more can be viewed below:

International Touhou fans are out of luck for now, but hopefully a publisher, even DeNa’s overseas offices, could localize the game globally.

Konami is Changing Its’ Name to Konami Group Corporation

Konami has decided to give itself a slight name change from ‘Konami’ to ‘Konami Group Holdings’. It’s not a big change, but there you go.

This will potentially be done on the 1st of July 2022 at a shareholder’s meeting. If the shareholders agree to the name change, Konami will put it in place. The will mark the 50th anniversary of Konami with the corporation aiming to “take on new challenges” and grow further.

This is Konami’s statement regarding the name change:
“Since its establishment, the Company has expanded its business as a pioneer in the Japanese entertainment industry and now operates in four business segments: Digital Entertainment, Amusement, Gaming & Systems, and Sports. In marking the Company’s 50th anniversary since its establishment, we will change the trade name so that we, along with its group companies, will continue to take on new challenges and strive for further growth as a sustainable company.”

Unfortunately, Konami’s idea of celebrating its 50th anniversary is selling Castlevania NFTs featuring screenshots of games that have been around for the last 30 years.
The company in general has been on thin ice with gamers since they stopped making larger console games following the departure of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima in 2015. It’s a real shame considering they were once the video game powerhouse behind Silent Hill, Contra, Castlevania, Metal Gear, and many more. Although Super Bomberman R for Switch was pretty good.

For the curious, the game takes place in a universe where a disaster has covered much of the land in water. In the struggle to adapt to the change, “dolls” with intelligence and equipped with armaments were created to obtain resources. Conflicts are fought with the use of these Dolls, naturally. Somehow, a mutation occurs in these Dolls, and they are then dismantled, but those who have escaped such a fate now seek revenge. You will need to take command and fight back against the Dolls.
Gameplay is closer to turn-based auto battler like Princess Connect! Re: Dive than Azur Lane, but if you’re into cute girls based off seafaring vehicles, might as well check it out. Apparently, they’ve made some changes – including lowering (!) gacha rates and removing certain rewards – from the Taiwanese release, so you would also want to exercise some caution.

All-M announces Dice of Legends for the mobile

South Korea-based game developer All-M has just announced its latest project which goes by the name Dice of Legends for the Android and iOS platforms. The game is being made for a casual audience, which is a change of direction for the company as it had made games slightly more on the hardcore spectrum, in the form of Kritika and Lunia. This is also to muscle in on the genre which only has a handful of titles, most notably Lord of Dice.

Dice of Legends places emphasis on one on one battles where players start with a hand of 10 cards. The objective is to reduce your opponent’s health points to zero through the strategic use of cards and roll of the dice.

If you are a fan of the genre, this is definitely worth checking out as the developer has behind them a lot of experience and dedication to the craft.

Ryza’s been popping up in a bunch of places including other games. Her costume will be appearing the Koei Tecmo’s upcoming Fatal Frame game as well as in a crossover with the navy RPG Blue Oath.

Huawei P50 Pro Review – A Camera Legend Reborn

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

The Huawei P50 Pro is out to do one thing, and that is photography. Following the legacy of its P series predecessors – P9, P20, P30 and P40 series – this is form and function in one exquisitely designed phone. That’s a lot of promises, so how does it really work?

DESIGN

At 195g and 8.5mm thickness, the Huawei P50 Pro’s weight feels right in the hand. When it comes to the “shape”, so to speak, you can feel its curves since it does carry a curved edge display, also applicable to the polished edge on the back of the phone. The glossy glass material makes it look extremely attractive, which unfortunately, is very easy to leave fingerprints on.

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

A metal frame “bridges” the front and back, so that you can actually get a good grip on the phone. The curvature extends to this frame, with the side slightly curved. The dual ring design for the lens makes the phone stand out more, besides the gloss itself. Placement-wise, the Type-C port and SIM card slot is on the bottom, with speakers on both the top and bottom.
SCREEN

The 6.6-inch OLED dual-curved screen has a 2700 x 1228 resolution. Following the P40 Pro, the bezels are extremely narrow. To get more screen real estate, the front camera utilizes a punch hole design to further enable a larger screen-to-body ratio. When it comes to performance, it has up to 120Hz refresh rate, supporting 1.07 billion colours, so most definitely respectable when it comes to colours, colour accuracy, and details for reviewing your photos, or for a spot of gaming and videos.

PERFORMANCE
Packing a Snapdragon 888 processor and UFS3.1 super-fast flash memory, the Huawei P50 Pro will transfer those large photos and videos without breaking a sweat. 256G ROM and 8GB RAM also enables a smoother gaming experience. Numerically, the 609,836 score via AnTuTu is pretty good for a flagship phone. The 4360mAh battery has 66W super wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging support, though the phone itself only came with a wired charger for me. There isn’t much of a concern, when a full charge from 1% takes a mere 50 minutes.
That said, it’s time to test the Huawei P50 Pro’s actual gaming performance. At the highest possible settings:
MOBILE LEGENDS: BANG BANG

No problems here. The game runs buttery smooth, and has no issue with lag.
CALL OF DUTY MOBILE

For the most part, it’s quite smooth, but too many effects can cause the frames to drop.
GENSHIN IMPACT

The “true” test, shall we say? It can run at over 30 FPS smoothly enough, dropping when there are more enemies around, and falters even further once the particle effects come in.
After 30 minutes of gaming, the Huawei P50 Pro does start feeling warm. It’s not necessarily uncomfortable, but something to take note of.
CAMERA PERFORMANCE
After the build up over the camera, let’s talk about it.

Compared to other options in the market, the Huawei P50 Pro’s telephoto lens is relatively conservative, a mere 90mm 3.5x option. However, the resulting photos possess incredibly impressive quality, remaining sharp and clear even as you zoom in.
Technology has improved as such that the AIS Pro super-antishake allows the image to remain stable, whichever lens you decide to use. With the issue of shaky images resolved, there’s the consideration about colour accuracy. XD Fusion Pro takes care of that, making the necessary adjustments. This is further assisted by True-chroma shot, so you will always have the most colour accurate pictures be it indoors or outdoors.

One major change for the Huawei P50 Pro is in its wide angle lens. The 3:2 ratio offered quality, at the cost of angles. This phone can now offer you it all: 120 degree, 13mm super wide angle for those sweeping shots, with any edge distortion corrected through internal algorithms. For any further edits, such as removing fixtures or obstacles, the AI remove feature exists. Voila, all major problems solved!

CLOSING THOUGHTS
As 5G becomes more common, the Huawei P50 Pro only having 4G could be a disadvantage. For the Malaysian market, that future is a little further away, so may not be as big as a factor. If 5G is not a concern for you, then the Huawei P50 Pro must be considered when looking for the best camera phone.

“I don’t want to get too sentimental, but six years is a really long time, and I appreciate it so much that there are some people here since 2015, supporting, and still interested in the game, to this day. Thank you”, he said in a tweet.
The trailer itself showed off some very basic combat in the game, with your player character being able to both shoot as well as swing a melee weapon.

Outside of what was shown in the trailer, Stephan has said the game is a single-player experience, complete with stealth, combat as well as dialogue choices.
Aside from being shown off at the Guerrilla Collective livestream, Death Trash will also be having a playable demo, running from 16th of June. The game is also scheduled to release on Early Access some time this year, with console support coming at a later time.
The Guerrilla Collective livestream promotes various indie titles at various stages of their development. Considering the smaller size of many of the studios involved, it makes sense that games like Death Trash and Hunt The Night would not have more concrete release information.

DualSense Edge Controllers A Premium Experience For A Premium Console

“Pro” Controllers are an important part of any console’s lifespan, and the same is true of the DualSense Edge. Being an upgrade over the already great Dualsense controller, fans had long been waiting to see what it might bring, if only to tell what direction PlayStation is looking at in future.

In a sense, that’s very much what the DualSense Edge is- more options compared to the DualSense, all geared to a more specific type of gaming experience. That being said, there’s always a trade off when it comes to upgrading consumer electronics, and the DualSense Edge is a clear example of that.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Just how does the DualSense Edge stack up? Read on and find out.
More Options
The biggest feature for the DualSense Edge is the extra buttons. As someone who loves games like Devil May Cry and Guilty Gear, the idea of any controller with additional buttons is a huge deal.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Visually, the Dualsense Edge fixes a lot of minor gripes with its predecessor- those buttons just look better in black.
To the Edge’s credit, it really is a game changer. I’m a huge fan of dividing my hands by function- having any buttons for Devil May Cry relegated to my left hand is a bit of a chore, so being able to do Nero’s charged shots, MAX-Acts and more all on my right hand is a veritable time saver.
That being said, the way the back buttons work is that they duplicate another input (so it will also be your triangle button, for example). It’s a good way to get universal compatibility going but that definitely means for genres like fighting games, it’s more about having a more comfortable setup than actually opening new control doors. In Guilty Gear Strive, for example, you could more reliably use the game’s R3 inputs for macros like dashing or Faultless Defense it just means you wouldn’t need to click in the thumbstick anymore.
These are customizable on the PlayStation’s software level, rather than having to worry about individual games supporting the Dualsense Edge. Considering how many of the games I’d use this for aren’t first-party titles, you can see why I’d have some anxiety about controls not being supported. Thankfully, that’s not the case, and you can basically use your new back paddles in any game from Horizon to Gungrave GORE.
These back pedals are great for people who like to organize things by which limbs they do them on. A small demographic, yet one eternally grateful
This does have some downsides, since that also means presently, there’s no way to just plug-and-play the controller and still have access to all the additional features if you wanted to use it on PC.
Even if you’re not a nutter who dreams at night of air combos and jump cancel loops, there’s still plenty of uses for the Dualsense Edge. The controller sports adjustable deadzones for the triggers, meaning FPS players can get shallower press buttons for those more intense matches. The PlayStation even advises having it at max input for fighting games, so you can better land those Behemoth Typhoons. I’m also a huge fan of the customizable sticks- letting you change out the concave thumbsticks and even adjusting their sensitivity curve independently of each other.

There’s a lot to work with in the Dualsense Edge- either you’re a combo fiend looking for ways to style on people with less awkward presses or even someone in need of better accessibility options. For that alone, the Edge deserves some praise. Until they add the remapping software to PC though, you’re only going to be using this on your PS5, however.
Premium Enjoyment

Unfortunately, it feels like for every thing the DualSense Edge gets right, it has a legally obligated setback, too. The most obvious is the battery, which lasts about 5 hours a day if you’re just using it for casual play. While it’s fine for the standard player the more hardcore players may get frustrated if they suddenly get low battery warnings, be it in the middle of a Ranked Grind or a stream.
There’s also the issue of the price- RM999 is a steep price for a single controller, even one as feature-loaded as the Edge. Combined with the price of a PS5 itself and the pricepoint of PS5 games, it really doesn’t do much to help with the PS5’s image of being extremely premium hardware.
Still, if you’re willing to accept gaming as a premium hobby, you’re sure to enjoy the Dualsense Edge. Like I said, it’s got plenty of great features going for it. Even additional air combo buttons aside, it’s got so much more like the ability to set controller profiles at any time so you can tune the regular controller functions to you or anyone else in your home’s preferences. It even includes a neat carrying case, that lets you charge the controller while protecting it from all the horrors of the outside world.
Personally, I’d also love to see add-ons for the Edge, such as new thumbstick options. The device already makes swapping out parts incredibly easy to use, I wouldn’t be surprised if those were on the drawing board at any point.

Smash World Tour Cancelled, Panda Global Accused Of Sabotaging Operations In “Protection Racket”

The Smash World Tour, an independently run Smash Bros tournament has been cancelled, and the organizers have accused rival tournament organizers Panda Global of being behind it.

In a statement, they announced that the Smash World Tour Championship 2022 as well as the 2023 circuit would be cancelled, citing influence from the Panda Global team.

“Without any warning, we received notice the night before Thanksgiving from Nintendo that we could no longer operate. This was especially shocking given our discourse with Nintendo the past twelve months. Since then, we have been working around the clock to take the proper steps logistically, as well as to prepare this statement with proper legal guidance”, the organizers say.
The discourse described paints a picture of how they were looking to get the Smash World Tour officially licensed with Nintendo, with the organizers saying Nintendo were keen for the event to co-exist alongside the officially partnered Panda Cup.

However, according to the statement, Nintendo’s official partner, Panda Global, began telling organizers of participating events that the World Tour’s days were numbered, as well as threatening broadcasters like Beyond The Summit with shutdowns if they did not comply with their demands.
This has been corroborated by Beyond The Summit founder David Gorman, who described the situation as being akin to a protection racket.
“[Panda CEO] Alan spent several months basically running a protection racket telling TOs including BTS “It’d be a shame if your event got shutdown for being unlicensed” in an effort to scare them into signing onto the Cup. BTS will absolutely never participate in a circuit led by Alan”, he said on Twitter.
We’ve reached out to Panda Global for comment regarding the accusations, and will update when they respond.
Several notable figures of the FGC have chimed in with distaste for the current state of the Smash Bros scene, such as Lasengle’s Yoshinori Ono.
“Since this is coming from the SWT side, I can’t make an equal judgment,but it’s my personal opinion that it’s not right to put restrictions on grassroots activities at this point. I think there were many ways to do this,such as treating it as sub-tournament of official tournament”, he says.
The competitive Smash Bros scene has been through a lot over the past year- the Smash series was absent from this year’s EVO, with the decision being announced around the time Nintendo revealed their partnership with Panda Global.

INTRODUCTION

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, nature’s masters,
The Crystals’ power exceeds the hand of man,
And if unleashed, would bring down death, disaster,
Calamity and blight upon the land.
―― Ancient quatrain of Kingdom Musa

Guided by fate, it’s up to you to stop the forces that threaten these heroes and all of Excillant.

CHARACTERS

Seth
A young sailor who drifts to the continent of Excillant and is the main character of this story. Meet Gloria, an exiled princess whose kingdom was robbed of its Crystals, and set out on a journey to recover them with her.
Gloria
The princess of Musa, a kingdom that once watched over the harmony of the world – but the loss of the kingdom’s Crystals led Musa to destruction. Having fallen into despair and gone into hiding, she decides to embark on a journey to retrieve the Crystals.
Adelle
A mercenary for hire. She travels with Elvis as his bodyguard in his search for an asterisk.
Elvis
A scholar who travels the world. Embark on a journey in search of a particular asterisk needed to unravel the last spellbook left by his master.

SYSTEMS
In addition to a traditional, turn-based battle system that combines jobs and abilities, you can enjoy innovative and strategic battles unique to the Bravely series by taking control of your turns via the Brave and Default system.
Brave and Default
Brave Points (BP) dictate how many actions a character can use in a single turn. Players can have characters ‘Default’ to stock up to three additional BP to use in a turn, or characters can ‘Brave’, to use more than one BP to perform multiple actions. Balancing stockpiling and using BP is a key component in battle strategy.
Jobs and Abilities
Each character can exhibit both a primary and secondary job class, with each job specializing in different abilities. Combining jobs allow you to handle two abilities simultaneously. You can create an all-rounder balanced in offense and defense, or perhaps a character that specializes in magic. Your tactics and how you develop each character are up to you.
Acquire New Jobs
“Asterisk bearers” will often block your path forward. By defeating them, you will obtain an Asterisk that enables you to change jobs.

Explore a new world as you fight for survival with your customized team of heroes in the Bravely Default II game, a strikingly beautiful RPG adventure. Balance risk and reward in turn-based battles with the Brave and Default commands.

Uma Musume adds Manhattan Cafe to the stable

For once, her arrival was not one that is unexpected, since the game threw hints of Manhattan Cafe’s inclusion by the mere facts that the upcoming Champion’s Meeting would be a long track and CV Ogura Yui to the livestream. Best of all, her abilities are in line with what has been expected of her, though with some minor changes.

As one would be able to infer from the image above, Manhattan Cafe will function as your long distance betweener, although she can be tweaked somewhat to become a chaser or run in the middle distance tracks. Unlike the past couple of additions with odd training bonuses, Manhattan Cafe comes with a whooping 30% bonus in stamina, so getting her numbers to SS should not be difficult. Conveniently enough, she comes with a gold heal although you might wish to opt for ones that are more reliable such as cooldown and arc maestro. Her marquee ability however is that she comes built in with stamina greed, which doubles as both a healing skill and a debuffing skill, making her fearsome on long tracks. That said, it has been somewhat nerfed for that reason alone, so we will have to see what the numbers translate to in practical usage.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is currently available on Android and iOS for mobile, and DMM Games for the PC.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a sequel to Dragon Ball Super: Broly. This means that the movie will be canon to the Dragon Ball Super anime and manga as well as the greater Dragon Ball timeline as a whole.
The movie seems to have been animated in 3D CGI as opposed to the series’ usual 2D animation. This will be a first for the series so it’ll be interesting to see how it makes use of the new style. Many anime fans look down on CG animation however shows like Beastars and Land of The Lustrous have shown that it can be done well.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be arriving in cinemas around Malaysia on the 30th of August.
