The Sweet Black and Gold Suits are Unlocked With Max Friendship says Marvel’s Midnight Suns Creative Director

We interviewed Jake Solomon, Creative Director of Marvel’s Midnight Suns, who revealed that the suits above are unlocked with max Friendship. The black and gold suits are designed exclusively for Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and are said to be a culmination of Stark technology and Dr. Strange’s magic.

Besides that, Jake also elaborated more on certain details of the game, which is set to release on October 7, 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. A Switch version of the game will release later in the future.

Jake Solomon, Creative Director of Marvel’s Midnight Suns
GamerBraves: Since Lilith can convert even heroes to her side, how would does be reflected in terms of gameplay? Would it be possible to lose your party members to Lilith midway through the game, and could we get them back?
Jake Solomon: Lilith’s ability to turn heroes and villains with a single touch is definitely one of the things that is most dangerous about her. We don’t have it where you’re constantly losing heroes to Lilith and needing to convert them back throughout the game; instead, you’ll see this play out as part of the story and narrative in Marvel’s Midnight Suns.

GamerBraves: The Switch logo was notably missing from the trailer. Is the Switch release of the game affected?
Jake Solomon: Yeah, it was mentioned as part of all the news on Thursday. Our Switch launch is being pushed back – we’ll have more to share on this in the future.

GamerBraves: We know that building relationships with the heroes results in them getting stronger, but would there be any consequences if they were to dislike you?
Jake Solomon: Yes, in the sense that not building Friendship with heroes means you aren’t getting all of the amazing passive bonuses that you could unlock. Those sweet black and gold suits you’ve been seeing in our trailers is something that you can also only get if you reach max Friendship – and they come with that character’s Midnight Sun ability, which is their most powerful ability in the game.

GamerBraves: When it comes to party composition, could you share more on how heroes interact with each other in a battle? For example, would Spider-Man and Iron-Man have access to tag team attacks?
Jake Solomon: So we have individual Friendship between The Hunter and the heroes, and also something called Team Friendship that you increase as you become closer to all the heroes. Early on, you’ll unlock Combo abilities that have you teaming up with your fellow heroes for an awesome badass takedown, and part of the fun of Midnight Suns is finding the right combination of abilities and heroes that you can combine and synergize with to really take out as many opponents or deal as much damage as possible. Not to mention The Hunter has the most options at their feet, so if you wanted a dream squad of Spider-Man, Iron Man and The Hunter – there’s plenty of ways to make it work, whether it’s focusing on one individual hero and having the rest to support or spreading everything out so that everyone is dishing out equal damage.

GamerBraves: For a player insert, the Hunter has a lot of depth and backstory to them. How do you balance the character’s lore while giving enough room for players to project themselves towards the character?
Jake Solomon: If The Hunter is supposed to lead these legends like Iron Man, Captain America and Blade, they needed to be someone who the rest of the heroes can look up to for leadership and that also includes giving them a more defined personality than a completely blank slate. But it’s as you said, we needed to make sure that there was still room for player’s to make their Hunter feel completely unique to them – which is why customization for The Hunter is so vast and we make our dialogue systems result in things like Dark and Light alignment, or to build Friendship with individual heroes. That’s a long way of saying that we wanted to make sure The Hunter could stand on their own while still providing plenty for players to change and tweak as they pleased.

GamerBraves: One cool aspect that we really love about Marvel’s Midnight Suns is how the heroes chill and interact with each other in the Abbey, with a “Saturday Morning Cartoon” kind of feel to them. How is it like coming up with laidback, less serious dialogue that’s not seen that often in other Marvel games?
Jake Solomon: Being able to wake up, say hi to Captain Marvel, relax with Magik – essentially living among the heroes was an absolute priority for us and something we wanted in the game right from the start. And you’re right, the tone of our story is really inspired by the comics, which results in that “Saturday Morning Cartoon” feel. I’ve said this before, but we know have kind of an end times-type story which can feel pretty grim – and for us, the darker the story, the more light-hearted the jokes have to be. We deal with serious storylines and themes and we treat those with respect, but we aren’t trying to make the world’s most serious and dark game.

GamerBraves: What kind of DLCs can players expect once the game is out, if any? Would it purely be characters, like what we see in Civilization 6, or would there be new modes or campaigns like XCOM 2: War of the Chosen?
Jake Solomon: We’ve shared that we’ll have a Season Pass for Marvel’s Midnight Suns, which will bring four new characters, each with story DLC after launch.
GamerBraves: Given the recent focus on the more supernatural side of Marvel movies, can we expect to see even more supernaturally rooted characters, like Morbius?
Jake Solomon: I’m not giving any hints!

That’s pretty much it for this interview. Thanks so much, Jake and Firaxis Games for the enlightening answers!
While waiting for Marvel’s Midnight Suns to release and unlock those sweet suits, you can check out our previous interview with Jake here.

IdolMaster Now Features Haruhi Songs

Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage has announced that it will be having a collaboration with popular light novel and anime series ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’ series.

The highlight of the collab is the covers of the iconic songs from the Haruhi anime. The most famous of these being the series’ season one ending ‘Hare Hare Yukai’. I remember when this song/dance became a cultural phenomenon in the anime community back in the late 2000s. Now I just feel old.

The lead singer is the fan favourite idol Riamu Yumemi (CV Seena Hoshiki). Riamu has become something of a meme character in the Idolmaster community for her strange otaku tendencies, perhaps making her a great fit to lead Hare Hare Yukai. Other singers include Yukimi Sajo (Mina Nakazawa) and Nana Abe (CV Marie Miyake). This song will also come with a 3D choreographed dance routine, recreating the iconic ending sequence.

The other song featured is ‘Bouken Desho Desho’ the opening to the first season of the Haruhi anime. It will be performed by Frederica Miyamoto (CV Takano Asami). This one does not have a song to accompany it however it should still sound great.
Bandai Namco has stated that they plan to release more Haruhi songs for the game in the near future. I’m just imagining a cover of ‘God Knows’ complete with a girl in a bunny suit and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You’ll also be able to purchase the ‘Prefectural North High School Uniform’ for your idols and items to customize your personal room based on the SOS Brigades many adventures.
Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage can be downloaded here for IOS and Android.

Re:Zero game reveals animated opening ahead of its release next week

The animated opening for Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of the Throne surfaced online through Spike Chunsoft’s YouTube channel.

Surprisingly, there seems to be two different versions of the same animated opening. Apparently, Mayu Maeshima sang the song, “Reline”, for the opening, both in English and Japanese. Here is the English version (which also has parts in Japanese):

Interestingly enough, for the animated opening with English vocals, the text in the opening is also in Traditional Chinese.

As compared to the fully Japanese animated opening:

This is just speculation, but there is likely a version of the animated opening with English text that will feature in Western releases of the game. It just seems that Spike Chunsoft only uploaded the animated opening that will play in Japanese and Chinese versions of the game.
Speculation aside, fans of the Re:Zero anime should instantly recognise Maeshima’s voice in the game’s animated opening. This is because Maeshima also sang Long Shot, the opening theme for the second part of Re:Zero Season 2. Currently, part 2 of Re:Zero‘s second season is ongoing.
The Prophecy of the Throne will release next week on 28th January 2021. It will be available on Steam, PS4 and Switch.

Aether Gazer redesigns Osiris twice due to “penis” resemblance

Osiris, a new character who was recently released in Chinese mobile game Aether Gazer, was redesigned due to her model containing a “penis”. To be exact, it has nothing to do with her gender or sex, but it was due to her outfit which bore the resemblance.

Netizens on Chinese social media platforms were even going as far as describing the character as “big black c**k”. Have a look at Osiris’s initial in-game model below:

Weirdly enough, her illustration in the game doesn’t possess such a defining feature.

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

To rectify this, the developers silently patched the character, making the “problematic” part of the cloth translucent. However, the opposite effect was achieved, as Aether Gazer players found out that rotating the in-game model for Osiris from side to side makes the penis resemblance even more striking.

Ultimately, Osiris was redesigned once more, this time with the cloth having flat edges.

While it’s obvious that such a resemblance to the male phallus is more than likely unintentional, it makes sense why the developers would want to redesign the character, given China’s stance on such matters. From effeminate imagery to oversexualised characters, developers have to be careful not to incite the wrath of the government.

Hello Kitty Kamen Rider Collab Date Announced

After its recent delay, the Hello Kitty Kamen Rider collab date has been announced, letting fans get merchandise of Sanrio’s iconic not-a-cat dressed like some of the equally-iconic Tokusatsu heroes.

The event will be held at Sanrio Puroland, featuring appearances by Masahiro Inoue and Hello Kitty herself. The collab date is March 6th, so fans can head over if they want to see the third collaboration between Hello Kitty and Kamen Rider.

The event actually kicked off in 2020, where fellow Kamen Rider Decade actor Kimito Totani had also showed up for the event. However, due to safety concerns, the merchandise was never rolled out.

Now, fans who head over to Sanrio Puroland can purchase keychains of Hello Kitty, dressed as various iconic Riders like Kamen Rider Kuuga and Kamen Rider Ryuki that go for 660 yen each when the whole line of collab merchandise launches on March 10th.

On top of that, they can also get Hello Kitty plushies featuring the character dressed as either Kamen Rider Decade or Kamen Rider Diend (3080 yen) , as well as various merchandise like printed bags (2750 yen), sports towels (1980 yen) as well as various pins featuring the same designs as the keychains (275 yen).
Both Kamen Rider and Hello Kitty are huge icons of Japanese culture, with many people identifying by which Kamen Rider they grew up with. Unlike the rotating roster of Kamen Rider heroes though, Hello Kitty has been an immovable force of pop culture, never changing her iconic design through the decades.

Raiden Shogun Changes Up What We Thought We Knew About Visions in Genshin Impact

As a Souls fan, digging around for lore is basically bordering on crack for me. The idea that things aren’t always as they seem, and there’s usually something in-game (hiding lore in books or Fortnite collabs is the mark of a coward) that gives you just the nugget you need to change the tone of the story. Genshin Impact has done a pretty good job of following this rule, with anything you want to know about the game being locked behind character’s voicelines, including stories about their Visions – the source of their power.

Visions- Blessed By The Gods?
That much is the case for Visions in Genshin Impact, and the Vision-hunting Archon, the Raiden Shogun. For the longest time, the game’s been fairly straightforward about Visions- these objects give their users elemental powers, are bound to their users (I can’t trade my vision for 10 quid and give the hotdog man sick lightning powers) and most importantly, are seen as a blessing from that element’s Archon (If you’re new, think of them as the deity of that element).

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

For the most part, there’s been no evidence to the contrary. The two archons you meet in the game’s story, Barbatos and Rex Lapis, never say anything to the contrary. To be fair, their personal stories don’t have much to do with Visions, so it’s not like the Traveler has any reason to ask.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Naturally, this has been a huge boon for the fan community, with lots of fans on Twitter trying to speculate the big connection between Vision users of the same element. After all it wasn’t just Hogwarts rules- Pyro Vision users included characters like Xiangling, Yanfei, Amber and Diluc- with the latter ruining any idea that the common trait was cheerfulness.  Similarly you had extremely disparate cases like the rarer Geo Vision- you had to dig deep into fan theories to find what Noelle, Ningguang and Albedo had in common.
Raiden Shogun – A Character Obsessed With Visions

With the release of Raiden Shogun though, we had the perfect tool for expanding lore about visions- an Archon whose personality is based around Visions. One of her new voicelines even specifically talks about the process of acquiring a vision:

“Really? So in all this time new Electro Visions have appeared in the outside world? Well, what I can say on this topic is subject to certain constraints but… it is not by my will that certain visions are granted or denied. The key is people’s desire and.. well, there’s another side to it too”
Ignoring the “other side” mentions, the first thing we know here is that contrary to popular belief, Archons don’t get to choose who gets a Vision. Just like Yae Sakura mentions in the trailer for the 2.0 update, Visions are more dependent on the user, with users needing to have a strong enough will to get one at all.
But what determines the type? Raiden’s quote implies that even she doesn’t know, since any embargoed knowledge she did have would have told her about the existence of so many other Electro users.

Spoiler Discussion And Speculation
Of course, it’s also likely that “she doesn’t know” also has something to do as her status not being the original Electro Archon. It could be that the Archon’s presence is tied to the appearance of their Visions- Ei could be talking about how she didn’t expect Electro Visions to still exist in the world of Genshin Impact following the death of Baal.
Honestly, there’s a lot of boring ways that “Other Side” can go. It could just be hereditary- every family has a latent affinity for one element, and if they get a Vision it comes out that way. Mixed blood just means a 50-50 split, explaining characters like Barbara and Jean.
As for the reasons she can’t talk, I’m going to assume that all Archons just have some sort of unspoken agreement to never let any humans know the whole truth. Something about preserving the peace, after all. It would make sense, given the fact that Archons like Zhongli would want to retire as humans.
With all the mechanics of Genshin’s World only being tied to the appearance of more knowledgeable characters like the Archons, it’s likely going to be a while before we ever find out. But being able to drip-feed information like this is one of the benefits of a live service game like Genshin, so as long as that’s done at a nice pace I’m going to be along for the ride.

The seamless game you play is a composition of many layers of art and visualization, from lighting, to environments, to props and interactives. Today we have artists from many of these layers here to talk about their craft and everything that goes into building the world of Sanctuary.”
Art director Chris Ryder also spoke further about the environments of the game. There will be five main regions in Diablo IV along with hundreds of dungeons for players to crawl through. The game will also have a darker tone compared to previous games.

“We approach creating the environments of Diablo IV through a darker and more grounded interpretation than earlier installments. The aim is for believability, not realism. Believability comes through our use of materials and deliberate construction of architecture and artifacts you will come across as you play through dungeons and the open world. In addition, regional weather conditions, varied local biomes, and a sense of history set the foundation of how an object or place should look visually in a medieval world like Sanctuary (the main setting of Diablo IV).”
This is only a snippet of the developer insight presented in the Diablo IV March update. If you’re interested in Diablo or just learning about video game art and graphics in genreal, it’s worth a read.
Diablo IV will release for PS4, Xbox One and PC. A release date has not been specific.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn Review – The Definitive Version of A Strategy RPG Classic

There’s nothing quite like the classics. Tactics Ogre: Reborn is the latest iteration of what is often considered one of the most important tactical RPGs in the genre, a game that would go on to inspire Final Fantasy Tactics, and Triangle Strategy. A story of political warfare, complex chess-like gameplay, and highly detailed customization.

If you’re into RPGs or Strategy games, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Tactics Ogre somewhere through the grapevine but you should also know that this latest version, a remaster of the PSP version of the game maybe it’s the best iteration yet. Reborn keeps to the spirits of previous Tactics Ogre’s while a number of quality of life improvements. It’s still a little by dated modern standards but for a game from the Golden Age of JRPGs, Tactics Ogre remains brilliant even 20 years later.

Story

Tactics Ogre takes place on the Island of Valeria, where three factions: Bacrum, Galgastan, and Walister are vying for power. Three young fighters: Denam, Catiua, and Vyce are plotting to fight back against Galgastani influence but soon find themselves recruited by the Walister Resistance. From here they find themselves tangled in a web of history, politics, and betrayal.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

This may sound similar to the Medival thriller plots of FF Tactics or Fire Emblem but remember, Tactics Ogre was one of the first to attempt weaving dark high fantasy into a strong narrative. While the game can be hard to follow at times with all the different groups, agendas, and hidden agendas thrown around, it’s humanized through the main characters. Denam and Catiua lost their village to war, and you can see how the different choices weigh down on their minds. The game never shies away from the horrors of war with the player themselves being forced to choose and partake in some truly heinous actions.
Reborn has also added full voice acting to the game and each character sounds fantastic. The cast gives a great sense of weight to the game, clearly expressing the anxiety and desperation of war while fitting the setting perfectly. The standouts for me are the intentionally obnoxious Vyce and the stern but noble Ravness. It shows how much voice acting can add to the game and make it feel more alive.
Alignment and Routes

Tactics Ogre has multiple routes and endings which can be divided into law, chaos, and neutral. Depending on your choices, units of opposing alignment may leave, different characters may live or die and some may become your enemies. It allows for an interesting tale where your choices feel like they matter. It also gives the title a lot of replay value as you’re encouraged to go back to see what happens in the other routes.

I should also note that if the story is getting too confusing, the game also includes a section called The Warren Report. This in-depth lore guide explains the history and backstory of each character and the events of the game. Not only does it help, but it’s a fascinating read on its own, telling you so much about the world to the point it feels like you reading about a real place. It can also help with the alignments, allowing you to track where different routes split off and plan accordingly for your next play-through.
The Tactics

Tactics Ogre is your traditional tactics game. Units stand on an isometric grid where they can move, attack, perform special skills, and use items. Let’s just start by saying that this game is hard. Tactics Ogre is a rather selfish game that demands hours of patience and investment from the player. Each enemy takes multiple hits to take out and can hit fairly hard back meaning even before you step onto the battlefield you’ll want to be planning which kinds of units you need and what moves they’re going to make. If the army is mostly soldiers, bring some melee fighters. If they’re mostly mages, then some archers will be better.
Much like Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre also has permadeath. If your unit loses all its health, you have three turn cycles to revive them or they’re gone for good. Unlike Fire Emblem where you gotta use who you have, Tactics Ogre does let you recruit new units from the shops littered throughout the game. The downside to this is that new units start from level 1 with no armor or weapons. This forces you to consume a lot of time and money to get them up to speed.
Basically, you want to keep your army alive, something that’s easier said than done. Features like this should probably tell you how much you’ll like this game. If losing an hour or so of progress because one of your best dudes bled out sounds frustrating and you need to reset, you probably won’t like this game. However, if the thrill of intense battles sounds like your calling, you’ll have a lot of fun gritting your teeth through the hard-as-nails gameplay and the satisfying call of victory. Personally, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to put the game down a couple of times after having three of my guys slaughtered but the game is still pretty addicting. There’s something fun about thinking about where to next place your soldiers and seeing them slowly little down an enemy.
The Camera

This does bring me to one place the game hasn’t aged the best. The isometric camera angle and cramped maps can make it pretty difficult to see where your units are hitting and moving. It doesn’t help that in the story missions, there is nothing to distinguish enemy soldiers from your own, leading me to hit my own guys by mistake for than once.
The game does give you multiple camera angles including a bird’s eye view of the map but it doesn’t help much. I really wish you could manually move the camera around the map but I can see that being too difficult for a simple remaster.
I’m also not a fan of the new art style which smooths out the game’s original pixel art. It’s not the worst overhaul but it looks a little plastic-like. I would have vastly preferred the sprites of the previous versions, at least as an option.
Quality of Life
Training Battle
Reborn does innovate in a number of other ways though. The game now allows you to scout the battlefield before the start of missions. This means you can see each enemy in advance and plan accordingly. Battles can also be made faster with an x3 fast forward button, something that you’ll probably keep on at all times as the game is pretty slow without it.
Reborn also has the Chariot System from the PSP version. This allows you to turn back time 50 places, meaning you can save fallen units and redo parts of the battle. It’s a great feature that negates a lot of the frustration from battles while still being balanced. 50 turns isn’t a lot of time in the grand scheme of the often 45-minute-long missions but it can help with fixing smaller mistakes and prevent a few careless deaths.
Finally unlike the PSP version which had random battles on the overworld, here you instead have training battles. These allow you to grind up new units without the fear of permadeath. Even if they’re knocked out, they still get EXP making it ideal for leveling up your new units. Once again though, the game balances this out by giving your team a soft-level cap. Each unit can only reach a certain level which can only be raised by completing the next story mission. This keeps your troops from getting to OP, which may disappoint some but does keep you focused on the strategy, which is the main point of the game.
Customization

This brings us to the other big selling point of Tactics Ogre, the in-depth unit customization. As previously mentioned, you can buy new units from the store which in turn can be molded how you please.
Your troops can be equipped with weapons, armor, and spells (for magic units). They also have specific skills some of which are exclusive to their class and finishing moves: special attacks that can do loads of damage. Reborn also introduces new items called charms that allow more fundamental upgrades to the character like giving them EXP or changing their elemental affinity.
This all comes together with class changing. Every character can change classes using class marks dropped by enemies or sold at stores. From here units can further be shaped into new classes with better abilities that either suit their stats or the battlefield you’re about the enter. I noticed Denam was really good with melee weapons so I turned him into a knight, which allowed him to tank opponents with great offense and defense. If you’re the kind of player that likes to get their nose stuck in the menus, endlessly buying new selling equipment to make the perfect units, you’ll love Tactics Ogre.
Closing Thoughts

Tactics Ogre is a classic, one of the best in its genre, and beloved for a good reason. It’s not a game for everyone with its high difficulty, and awkward camera but for the hardest of the hardcode among SRPG fans, it’s more than worth your time.
Tactics Ogre Reborn, in particular, is a great remaster that boldly states “that time is now.” This latest version adds a number of quality-of-life changes that make the combat more accessible and engaging without watering down the gameplay. Training mode is a welcomed addition and the simple act of speeding up battles does a lot to lessen the frustration of battle. The candle of Tactics Ogre continues to burn strong.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        News voice acting makes the characters feel more alive

                                        Camera makes it hard to see the battle properly

                                        Quality of life features make the game more accessible

                                        Smooth art style doesn't look as good as the pixelated sprites.

                                        Gameplay overall is still fun and addicting, even after all these years
