Onyx swoops into Brawlhalla

The 49th Legend for Brawlhalla is here, in Onyx! Ubisoft reveals the first new Legend of 2020, ready to make her mark in the halls of Valhalla with Gauntlets and Cannon in tow.

Onyx’s backstory is provided as follows:

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

Onyx escaped from the Infernal Realm, finding herself in a mysterious castle when she finally emerged from the pit. Desperate to hide herself from would-be captors, she soon discovered the secret to her salvation: binding herself to the stone of the castle. Onyx then pledged service to the great fortress. For hundreds of years, Onyx acted as the Guardian and Protector of Castle Batavia until one fateful day when the castle finally fell.
In the midst of the legendary Siege of Lions, the commander of the assailants showed her the depravity of the mad king she defended. Onyx knew she had to let the castle fall even if it meant her own return to the Abyss. One of the many Valkyries above the battlefield, seeing her sacrifice, swooped in just ahead of the demons and offered her a place in Valhalla.

She packs six signature attacks:

Cannon Signatures

Side Signature – After a big forward swing of her tail, Onyx shoots a blast of energy forward.
Neutral Signature – Onyx grabs the cannon with her tail and shoots a huge blast of energy diagonally upwards.
Down Signature – Onyx quickly turns to stone, then explodes out of the stone armor with her wings, tail, and cannon.

Gauntlets Signatures

Side Signature – Onyx uses her wings to float about the ground, then swipe her claws into the ground to launch her opponents.
Neutral Signature – Onyx uses her wings to fly up diagonally and swipe with her big claw.
Down Signature – She slams the ground, making huge shards of rocks come up, then follows up with a big tail swipe.

Onyx releases alongside the Cannon update that brings changes to three attacks:

Side Light – This big swing had its movement and arc of the weapon swing both changed.
Neutral Light – Instead of thrusting the cannon forward, this attack now has a forward blast that is followed up with a spin and second blast on hit.
Down Air – This attack now shoots a blast instead of swinging the weapon. It shoots diagonally downward and splashes off of the ground.

ANYCOLOR has also stated that an excessive amount of spam comments which had contained Axia’s real life name were posted not only on Axia’s stream but also other NIJISANJI members. Axia Krone had asked to take a hiatus to his streaming activities in NIJISANJI to prioritise his mental and physical health.
ANYCOLOR has managed to identify the operator of the Internet site that was in charge of spreading the misinformation. “We have already begun specific legal action against the above-mentioned slanderous and libelous acts, malicious obstruction of our distribution business, and infringement of goodwill” as mentioned in the statement.

Niantic’s Latest Game Peridot Starts Soft Launch Exclusively in Malaysia

Niantic, the creators of Pokemon Go has soft-launched their latest AR pet simulator game Peridot exclusively in Malaysia. While the rest of the world will get the game eventually, for now, Malaysian gamers alone get an early look at it.

Like Pokemon Go, Peridot will see players interacting with a number of monsters that will be transported into the real world through the power of AR. What separates the game from Pokemon is that it will be more of a pet simulator as opposed to a light RPG with more in common with titles like Tamagotchi or Nintendogs.

Peridots are mysterious creatures that were thought to be extinct but have now been rediscovered. It is up to the player to breed and conserve these cute colorful critters by raising them to adulthood.
Features of the game include completing daily tasks for the Peridots such as walking them a certain distance, feeding them, petting them as well as completing a number of smaller tasks based on the furballs’ desires. To pet them, you simply pet them in real life and feeding similarly involves drawing a circle with your hand, which commands the peridot to forage. All of these will raise your Peridot’s experience and happiness.

When your Peridot gets enough experience, they will reach adulthood. You can choose to take it to a habitat, which is a location-based area like a PokeStop or you can breed it with another Peridot and then release it back into the wild. You can only have one at a time.
Breeding your Peridot can result in the child taking genetic aspects from its parent, making a different, one-of-a-kind animal with “infinite possibilities”.
Peridot is available for mobile devices in Malaysia as a soft launch. It will likely come to other regions throughout the rest of the year.

Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games VP and Head of Creative
MARVEL Realm of Champions is a bold, new imagining of the Marvel Universe that transports players to Battleworld, a mysterious, war-ravaged planet forged from many realities. The factions of Battleworld had been kept in isolation until Maestro marched over the land and forced the houses to unify into a single Realm, keeping a tenuous peace on the planet. The Maestro’s reign was cut short when he was mysteriously murdered, causing massive unrest and the threat of imminent war. In a last-ditch effort, a group of the House Leaders gathered and agreed to fight in a secret war to prevent an open war.
After selecting their Champion and equipping the best gear for the battle, players can team up with friends for epic multiplayer skirmishes in unique Marvel-inspired battle arenas and brawl in real-time cooperative battles for glory, triumph, and honor.

 “MARVEL Realm of Champions is a game that could only be possible thanks to Kabam’s team of incredibly talented and knowledgeable creators and the level of trust and confidence we have built with Marvel Games. Marvel is an amazing partner, allowing us the opportunity to transform their properties into something that no Marvel fan has witnessed before.”
“This is only the beginning for Realm, we are creating a world as deep and rich as MARVEL Contest of Champions. We are looking forward to seeing how the world and stories of Battleworld unfold as players dive deep into what makes Realm special.”
Gabriel Frizzera, Creative Director of MARVEL Realm of Champions
Here are all the features you can get expect from the game:

CUSTOMIZABLE MARVEL CHAMPIONS: For the first time in a Marvel game, players take control of their Marvel Champion and customize them to showcase their personal strengths and style. Players can strategically personalize their own Champion through a large variety of gear, abilities, and weapon upgrades. They can build a well-rounded team of Marvel Champions with unique roles and abilities that cater to personal playstyles, or focus on progressing one ultimate Champion to play their part in leading teams to victory.
NEW, IMMERSIVE MARVEL-INSPIRED WORLD: Players can fully immerse themselves in a new world of Marvel lore and intrigue primed for multiplayer battle and mayhem. From barbarian wastelands populated with Hulks, to high-tech cityscapes built on Iron Man’s Stark Tech, players will experience action, adventure, and the thrill of victory by competing and conquering these arenas with a team of like-minded Champions.
EPIC MULTIPLAYER BRAWLS: Players connect with their network of friends and challenge others from around the world to decide who will conquer Battleworld in action-packed team battles. Players strategize with a cooperative team to determine the best playstyle and Champion mix, and then lead their team to victory in Arena Conquest (3v3) and Arena Deathmatch (2v2v2). Players can also team up and battle waves of enemies in Stronghold and Onslaught.
A VISUALLY STUNNING MARVEL CHAMPIONS EXPERIENCE: Players will witness awe-inspiring graphics and beautifully sculpted representations of Marvel characters, battle arenas, and spectacular special moves across a suite of rich environments themed after iconic Marvel Super Heroes, Super Villains and settings. MARVEL Realm of Champions features accessible and intuitive touch controls with thrilling, action-oriented combat, offering moments of pure joy and amazement within a real-time combat system.
ALWAYS ON & EVOLVING: Players will always have something to do when logging into MARVEL Realm of Champions, whether it’s personalizing Champions, upgrading gear sets, or fighting against enemy teams. New content, including gear sets, weapons, special limited-time events and additional Champions inspired by over 80 years of Marvel history, will be added throughout the game’s life, ensuring there is always something new to achieve in-game.

Neco Arc Release Causes 800% Increase In Melty Blood Type Lumina Playerbase

It’s been a good week to be a Melty Blood Type Lumina player- a huge update dropped on Friday, bringing with it huge quality of life improvements, balance changes as well as free DLC for Neco Arc and Mash Kyrielight.

Fan reaction to Neco Arc coming to the game
Neco Arc in particular has been a huge pull- the character was heavily requested due to her overwhelming popularity, and members of the community are even holding Neco Arc-only tournaments.

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

The result has been a huge uptick in players for Melty Blood Type Lumina, with the launch of the big update seeing a peak of over 4000 players checking out the game- 8 times the 500 it was the day prior.
There has also been a huge uptick in content about Neco Arc going around the internet, with many fans praising the character for being wacky and fun, thanks in part to her random moveset and bizarre animations.

Of course, it’d be foolish to say that the surge in Type Lumina players was entirely because of Neco Arc- as mentioned earlier, the update also brought a perfect storm of things to drive more players into the game.
The balance update was a huge draw for players who’d dropped off the game prior- nerfing Shields and updating character moves was a huge reason to jump back in.
Still, Neco Arc is the face of almost every community meme- just like how the Jack O Pose drew more people into Guilty Gear, it’s just as easy to say Neco Arc did the same for Melty Blood Type Lumina by bringing more mass attention to the funny cat character.

ROG Strix GL12CX Review – A gaming beast offering unrivalled gaming experience

ROG STRIX GL12CX is a new gaming desktop with the latest 9th Generation Intel Core i9-9900K processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics. It is announced last November and we are now getting the gaming beast in Malaysia! For those who are curious about its gaming performance, we got the chance to try out the desktop beforehand so here is our ROG Strix GL12CX review.

The Design
It comes in an all-black chassis with sharp angles on the front and top of the case resembling the strikes of a katana on armor. As you might have noticed, the design draws inspiration from stealthy ninjas. Some of these angles are actually intake or exhaust vents, some feature gorgeous Aura Sync LEDs. Strix GL12CX is not too big or too heavy so an adult can pick it up effortlessly.

A hot-swap SSD bay is hidden behind the front cover allowing you to quickly swap profiles and games without having the need to shut down the system. Other than this, the front panel also features a 2-in-1 card reader, 2 USB 3.1 and 2 USB 2.0 ports. While on the back, it offers 8 USB ports along with 5 audio jacks and a digital S/PDIF connector. You can view its internal layout (with RGB lights) easily thanks to the tempered glass side panel.

A good cooling system is extremely important for a gaming desktop. ROG Strix GL12CX features the innovative interwoven HyperStream design, which allows maximum heat removal and airflow into the chassis. It has a total of 3 fans located on the top and bottom of the chassis, as well as two dedicated isolated air chambers to keep the internal components cool.

The Strix GL12CX package comes along with a ROG Strix Flare keyboard and ROG Gladius II mouse. Both features Aura Sync RGB lighting. The keyboard is using Cherry MX mechanical key switches that deliver a satisfying mechanical feel, while the mouse is having a DPI button to toggle sensitivity and a DPI target thumb button that lowers the DPI for a short instance of more accurate sniping.

The Specs
The model we get is powered by Intel Core i9-9900K CPU (can be overclocked up to 5.1 GHz) with the latest Intel Z390 chipset. It also comes with a total of 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD and 1TB HDD, along with an NVIDIA RTX 2080 graphics card. With all these powerful components, ROG GL12CX is absolutely capable of delivering high-frame-rate gaming while multitasking. We will explain more about its gaming performance later, now let’s look at its benchmark results.

PCMark 10

As we expected, Strix GL12CX got an extremely good score of 6,827 for PCMark 10 test. It gets 9,494 for App Start-up Score and 10,740 for Digital Content Creation score. This shows that it doesn’t just start-up apps rapidly, it is powerful on handling multitasking and providing great gaming performance too.

User Benchmark

One of the best results we ever get on User Benchmark test. The test gives out 139% on the gaming section, which is an outstanding score indicating that it is capable to handle almost all 3D games at the best resolution and details levels possible. Strix GL12CX gets an exceptional SSD score at 291% too.

3D Mark

Strix GL12CX got a very impressive result – 10,310 for Graphics score and 8,435 for CPU score. On both graphics test, it manages to get about 60 or over 60 FPS which is especially great for FPS or MOBA games. Meanwhile, on the CPU test, it got a result of about 28 FPS. The title of “gaming beast” fits ROG Strix GL12CX so well!
The Gaming Performance
We tried out ROG Strix GL12CX with some of the latest hit titles such as Battlefield 5, Devil May Cry 5, Apex Legends using a 1080P, 144Hz display. Playing Apex Legends on it is an enjoyable experience as the FPS can be pushed to 144 even under the highest graphics settings, while on the most situations the FPS is able to maintain at 135 or above.
Apex Legends
Although Devil May Cry 5 used up RTX 2080’s 8GB VRAM, ROG Strix GL12CX still runs the game at a stable FPS over 100.

The Maehwa is aimed at crowd control, with a powerful sword to be used in melee. Ascending her also gets players access to her moveset with the Kerispear.
Meanwhile, the Musa is a character with powerful options for counterattacks. He uses his sword to create powerful whirlwinds capable of knocking enemies up into the air. Unlike the Maehwa, he does not gain the Kerispear upon ascension. Rather, he gets a powerful curved blade instead.

Developers Innersloth Game’s hit game about finding a traitor hiding amidst crew mates – Among Us had its popularity grown as one of the go to party games to play with friends and family.

Dragon Ball FighterZ Review – One Of The Best Fighter Games!

Introduction
Dragon Ball has been around since the 90’s and they are recognized around the world even in the West. The popular manga and animated series of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and the latest Dragon Ball Super series (just to name a few) has been adapted into fighter games or role playing games many a times. Now with the latest console game by Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball FighterZ is just one of a kind that fans around the world would find it hard to pass on.

Yes, the genre of fighting games has been dull as the repetitive button mashing could not keep a player entertained for a very long time. Though old Dragon Ball fighting games have tried to keep players spending more time on the game by including a story or campaign mode which is based on the Dragon Ball Z lore, it always seemed lackluster during cut scenes and gameplays. But not for long, with the release of Dragon Ball FighterZ, the game has improved significantly compared to its other titles.

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

Gameplay
Dragon Ball FighterZ was released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows (via Steam) on the 26th January 2018. At first sight, the game looked like any fighter game and one may even compare it with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with the control scheme and team mechanics which are interchangeable during mid-fights. Though the game has many attack combos that are easy to execute, but its still hard to master the game. Just like how Dragon Ball Z fights are, they are fast; teleporting around enemies beating them up. You’d experience the same thing as well in the game as every character in the game can pull of those same moves (except for certain abilities and supers).

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Paired with a fast-paced gameplay, you’re punching the enemy around (or being punched around) if they failed to block and unleash your full combo on them. With the “Assist” move where players call one of their characters in, the combo just never stops. Simultaneous attacks and combos can be pulled off if coordinated right. That may sound easy to pull off but there are three characters for each player and you must defeat all three of a team to win.

While the action is incredibly entertaining, there are finisher moves that could be activated after you’ve beaten an opponent which could end up in two ways; one which is a Destructive Finish where you send your opponent flying off destroying pixel debris along the way and the other is a Dramatic Finish where the characters re-enact the iconic death scenes from the Dragon Ball Z series. However Dramatic Finishers require specific set of characters and stage to pull it off.
Here’s a list of Dramatic Finishers if you’d like:
Teen Gohan: You must choose Cell for your opponent and use the Cell Games Arena. You can’t have Goku on either team, and the stage must end up being destroyed.
Beerus: You must choose Goku for your opponent and use the Space stage. Alternatively, you can use Goku Black as your opponent with any stage, but Goku Black has to be below 10% health when Beerus’s super attack is used.
Goku: You must use Frieza for your opponent and use the Planet Namek stage. Make sure you destroy the stage.
Trunks: You must use Frieze for your opponent and use the Rocky Field (Noon) stage.
Nappa: You must use Yamcha as your opponent and use the Rocky Field (Noon) stage.
Goku: You must use Kid Buu as your opponent and use the Land of the Kais stage.
Yamcha: You must use Nappa as your opponent and use the Rocky Field (Noon) stage.

If I had a nickel for every time Genshin Impact is advertised in Malaysia and in Malay language, I would have two nickels – which is not a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice, this time on a newspaper.

PUBG Mobile is the highest earning mobile game of 2020

In an infographic from Sensor Tower, PUBG Mobile leads the pack of top revenue-generating mobile games throughout this year. Raking in $2.6 billion worldwide, the battle royale shooting game achieved record-breaking numbers, despite its ban in India.

PUBG Mobile inched past second-placed Honor of Kings, with the former sitting at $2.5 billion. Both games are owned by Tencent, which is no surprise considering that the tech giant is currently the world’s largest video game publisher.

In third place is Niantic’s Pokemon GO, making $1.2 billion this year. It may seem strange that it would rank this high for a game that requires movement and travel during this pandemic-filled year, but the game performed well despite these restrictions. With repeated updates and a constant stream of new content, Niantic adapted to lockdown rules imposed in most nations worldwide and successfully passed the one billion mark in revenue from Pokemon GO.
Moon Active’s Coin Master placed fourth on the list, with $1.1 billion. The game teamed up with big-name celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner for commercials this year. Judging from Coin Master‘s performance, this move seems to be paying off for Moon Active.
At fifth place is Roblox which also made $1.1 billion, coming slightly behind Coin Master. The IP, which is already 15 years old since its debut on PC, made tremendous revenue thanks to its dedicated community of players. This title, which allows users to design their own games with the Roblox Studio, made its way to mobile, with its iOS release in 2012 and Android release in 2014.
The last entry on the list is Mixi’s Monster Strike at $958 million. With a week to go before 2021 rolls around, the role-playing physics game might possibly be the sixth game to break the $1 billion mark.
Overall, 2020 might have been a terrible year for everyone, but it is undeniable that it has been a good year for gaming. Mobile games continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. Hopefully, next year will be an even better year for the industry and the rest of the world, too.

[ CES 2022 ] Reduce, Reuse, Recycle with the Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition

Acer teamed up with National Geographic to release the Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition (AV15-51R), a unique nature-themed laptop. Each purchase of this sustainably-minded laptop helps support the US-based global nonprofit National Geographic Society in its work to protect our world through exploration, research, and education.

According to James Lin, General Manager, Notebooks, IT Products Business, Acer Inc:

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

“Acer has been taking steps over the past several years to reduce its ecological footprint. The Vero product lineup, born from our Earthion platform, represents the latest of these efforts. We’re pleased with the reception the Aspire Vero has received from users and media alike, and we hope our efforts will encourage partners and industry colleagues to take similar steps in their own capacity.”

Reduce — Minimal Footprint Design
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The original Aspire Vero’s look is defined by the material blend used in its chassis, which consists of 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and was carefully selected for its balance of durability, rigidity and aesthetics. Yellow pigment dots contrast with this textured grey surface to give the laptop character, all without the need for any paint. The Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition builds on this design and tells a story in a way that catches the eye.

Users will first notice several diagonal lines running across approximately half of the top cover. A small extract from a topographic map, these lines divide the laptop’s surface into land and sea and allude to the impact of global warming on rising sea levels. Opening the laptop reveals the iconic National Geographic yellow border, which has been printed directly onto the bottom right corner of the keyboard. In yellow print on the spacebar lies the message, “For Planet Earth.”

Reuse — Packaging with a Purpose
As its first impression, the Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition shows that the lifespan of computer packaging doesn’t need to end at delivery. The laptop’s inner packaging has been designed to be a multipurpose box, and it can be repurposed in its entirety after users get their device set up. The box itself has enough character to fit right into the user’s room—perhaps on top of a dresser or the corner of a desk—and its inner partition can be folded into a triangular laptop stand.
Acer’s innovative packaging design protects the device without the need for anything but 85% recycled paper, plus a 100% industrial recycled plastic (PIR) laptop sleeve and an additional sheet of 100% PIR plastic that sits between the laptop’s display and keys.

Recycle — Easily Upgradeable Laptop
The Acer Aspire National Geographic Edition utilizes 30% PCR plastic throughout its chassis, saving 21% in carbon emissions for the production of that part. 30% PCR plastic is also utilized in the laptop’s screen bezel and 50% in its keycaps, further reducing the computer’s footprint. Looking towards the other end of the laptop’s lifespan, special effort has been paid to simplify the process of making repairs and upgrades. The bottom cover comes off with eleven standard Phillips-head screws, revealing a well-organized set of internals that allows users to easily replace the RAM and SSD.
Powered by an 11th Gen Intel® CoreTM processor with Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, the laptop’s lighter ecological footprint does not mean that it’s light on performance: It comfortably allows users to create, connect and collaborate. Users can enjoy Windows 11 right out of the box, while Wi-Fi 6 offers ultra-reliable connectivity. The user-experience is rounded out by a generous selection of ports, including USB Type-C and two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, one of which can be used to charge mobile devices even when the computer is turned off.

Acer Earthion
The Vero lineup of products was born under Earthion, an Acer platform that combines the strengths of the company, its supply chain partners, customers, and employees in order to help tackle environmental challenges with innovative solutions. Earthion’s primary topics of focus include Acer’s RE100 commitment to reach 100% renewable energy usage by 2035, the pursuit of greener product design, and efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of Acer’s supply chain.
Pricing and Availability
The Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition (AV15-51R) will be available in France in March, starting at EUR 899; and in China in January, starting at RMB 5,499. The laptop will also be available in multiple countries across the Asia Pacific.

Exact specifications, prices, and availability will vary by region. Stay tuned for more details on Acer’s website.

What Makes a Genshin Impact Killer?

This article on ‘What Makes a Genshin Impact Killer?’ was available a week earlier through the Gamerbraves Newsletter. Sign up for free to gain access to more articles about news and trends in the gaming industry and community.

Genshin Impact is a property that anyone with an internet connection will likely have heard of, even if they have no interest in it. If you’re unfamiliar with it, it’s an anime-styled, free-to-start, always online, open-world, single-player game with online elements from miHoYo, a China-based company. Since its worldwide simultaneous release in September 2021, it has enjoyed explosive popularity and corresponding financial success. Such widespread reach was – and arguably still is – an anomaly, more so for a China-made game.

Most recently, we have Tower of Fantasy from Hotta Studio, another China-based developer. It’s an open-world MMORPG that first launched in China, before finally arriving on global shores on the 11th of August 2022. While Tower of Fantasy isn’t the first to take on the juggernaut that is Genshin, it seems to be the one that is getting the most buzz about being “the Genshin killer”.
Whether Tower of Fantasy is really the “Genshin Impact Killer“ will have to be seen. There’s no doubt that Genshin is by far the most successful of its kind, so if any other game were to truly compete and triumph, it will need to both match what it does well, and improve where it lacks.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

WHAT GENSHIN DOES RIGHT
CHARACTER DESIGNS
First impressions are important, and this can’t be reflected any better than in Genshin’s character designs. When you first set your eyes on them, you can probably already tell if you’d like this character. Being able to sell these characters to people on looks alone is a science that other games need to equal, if not surpass. It doesn’t have to appeal to you, specifically, of course. As long as you can get a character’s name trending on social media on basically nothing but a single image, you’ve got a winner.

Just consider the preview art here, removed from any context. They’re full-body pieces, with a simple background that allows many of the details to pop. There are bright spots or features that your eyes can be easily drawn to. From here, you can probably make some educated guesses on what this character might do, or what theme is being leaned on.
SIMULTANEOUS GLOBAL RELEASE, ON MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
The phrase “you must spend money to make money” can be applied in this case. This is undeniably a large undertaking especially if you’re a smaller developer. However, when there is no foresight to release, you can imagine the conversation can flow continuously as everyone learns from each other. Such ideals aside, an investment in a worldwide release means you also have access to the global financial streams off the bat.
Everyone gets to get excited and surprised together and there’ll be fewer potential lulls of activity. Take for example miHoYo’s own Honkai Impact 3rd, where the Chinese version is about 3 weeks ahead of the rest of the world. People will be able to plan ahead and consider skipping certain updates for something they want more.

List via Gamepress.

Tying in with the simultaneous global release, if you’re going to be multi-platform, have seamless account linking across the supported platforms. Your players will appreciate the convenience to play the game however they like at any given point. From there, let them be able to play with their friends – or anyone else for that matter – on those other platforms. This is especially important if your game has social aspects, for either cooperative or competitive play.
WHAT GENSHIN STANDS TO LEARN
You can by all means consider Genshin a pioneer of its genre. Its popularity is unlikely to fall drastically anytime soon, but if Hoyoverse is complacent about its market share, it stands to lose to the shinier game on the horizon. It’s time to see how Tower of Fantasy tries to improve on a winning formula.
BETTER COMBAT SYSTEM
Despite the different weapon types in Genshin, if it weren’t for the characters, there’s basically not much variety in how they’re used. This can make combat feel stale and uninteresting once you’ve optimized a team formation.
Tower of Fantasy only has you control one character, with 3 weapon slots and 2 relic slots. Weapons come with a Discharge effect, as well as an active skill effect. When you hit an enemy enough times with one weapon, swapping to another one can unleash additional effects. You might opt to use a lower rarity weapon not just because they’re easier to upgrade, but because of their other properties and their moveset.

Spin to KING.

The different weapons do actually feel distinct and their combo chain is appropriately weighty. It has air combos you could potentially use to reposition yourself, with certain weapons having air combos that can pull you towards enemies. Since you unlock the character with the weapon, it’s like an added bonus where you have a character’s signature weapon with them, too.
You can find glimpses of this combat potential in Genshin where someone like Rosaria has a repositioning skill to strike opponent’s backs which increases her Crit Rate, Klee’s “optimal” combo chain includes jumps to cancel animations, Jean is able to send opponents skywards but can’t otherwise do any follow-ups… the combat can remain simple so as to accommodate mobile players. However, giving players the option to perform more complex moves, even if not necessarily to kill enemies, is hardly a bad thing. Think about it: being able to show off the cool moves your favorite character can do could be the driving reason to get you to stay for a game.

Just watch it fall.

CONVENIENT TRAVERSAL
There’s no denying exploration in Genshin can feel quite slow and cumbersome. You consume stamina when you sprint, so new players will be finding themselves trudging along trying to upgrade their stamina so that they can explore more. The party Anemo Resonance is only a stop-gap measure: only the Traveler has Anemo for free, so you’re out of luck if you don’t get another one.
Tower of Fantasy alleviates this by allowing you to sprint automatically. Dodges are separate charges, so you can use those to cover more ground. It also has a double jump and a jetpack that lets you gain more vertical height. On top of all that, it has a mount and relic system for even faster travel across the world. When exploration of an open world is one of your key selling points, make it fun and less tedious to get to the destination.

LESS DAILY ROUTINE PRESSURE
When you don’t log in for a day in Genshin Impact, you miss out on the commissions and their rewards. The daily check-in is on an external website, so if you’ve forgotten that, you miss that too. Personally speaking, they become chores that I don’t enjoy, so I disregard the game entirely so that I can play something else that I actually like.
Make no mistake: there are definitely still daily grinds in Tower of Fantasy. However, you can log in after an extended period to redeem items you have missed. You will at least get to have a little bit of breathing room and not need to worry about your video game chores and potentially prevent burnout with one less thing to think about. Not getting punished when you want a little break could make you more willing to return, over the unnecessary stress of feeling like you’re falling behind.

SO, ARE “GENSHIN KILLERS” A NET GOOD?
Making a “Genshin killer” isn’t as easy as sticking to a list of bullet points and expecting to succeed. There are definitely many other factors to consider to create financial success and have a deep pop culture impact. However, innovation is needed to make you stand out. It’s also what’s needed to keep you relevant. Think of the chain from Honkai Impact 3rd’s action gameplay, to KUROGAME’s Punishing: Gray Raven iterating on those systems, and other mobile action games of its kind enjoying their own success.
In such a highly competitive market, developers and publishers will need to figure out their strategy should they want to even be considered by the general public. For players, having different options can only be a net good so that they can broaden their horizons, and have more choices. Developers and publishers alike will have the incentive to make the user experience better to keep their player base and cash flow, lest they move on.
I certainly do believe that Genshin has much room to improve. With competition as the primary impetus, I want to see the game become even better and work to keep deserving its fanbase. I’ll look forward to seeing how far it’s come in the future.

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

ASUS Malaysia announced the local availability and pricing of the Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (UP3404) at the 2023 ASUS Zenbook Launch Event which happened at Starbucks Reserve, Tropicana Gardens today.

The laptop is the latest and most powerful 14-inch model in the thin-and-light convertible Zenbook Flip series. According to Asus, it’s designed to be the perfect OLED convertible laptop for proactive professionals. The versatile design of the laptop offers greater performance through its 13th Gen Intel Core processors, Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, 512GB PCIe SSD, and 16 GB of RAM.

Performance
Powering Zenbook 14 Flip OLED is the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1340P processor, teamed with Intel Iris Xe graphics and up to 16 GB of fast RAM. A 512GB PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD ensures plenty of ultrafast storage. With Zenbook 14 Flip OLED, users can tackle any task, wherever they are, in the office, at home, or on the road, and enjoy all the performance they need for any situation.

The long-lasting 75 Wh battery features ASUS USB-C Easy Charge for convenient easy charging, and fast-charge technology allows it to be topped up to 60% in as little as 49 minutes. For connecting the latest devices and peripherals, there are two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports as well as a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port. The HDMI 2.1 port supports external displays, and there’s a convenient 3.5 mm audio combo jack.
The WiFi 6E in Zenbook 14 Flip OLED is enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, including the WiFi SmartConnect feature in the MyASUS app that automatically selects the best WiFi source, so Zenbook 14 Flip OLED connects seamlessly to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots. Additionally, Task First allows users to easily prioritize tasks or distribute bandwidth evenly between tasks.

Visuals

The 14-inch 2.8K 90 Hz OLED slim-bezel NanoEdge touchscreen on Zenbook 14 Flip OLED has an expansive 16:10 aspect ratio that enlarges the visual workspace, and provides an 87% screen-to-body ratio. Users can enjoy vivid and detailed visuals, with DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification for the deepest blacks, industry-standard Pantone Validated color fidelity, and a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut for ultra-vivid colors. It’s also TÜV Rheinland-certified for eye care, so the user’s eyes won’t get as tired, even during marathon viewing sessions.
For natural and intuitive creative input, the display also supports the included ASUS Pen 2.0 stylus, which offers 4096 pressure levels and comes with four interchangeable tips that mimic different pencil hardnesses. It supports USB-C charging and Bluetooth shortcuts via a dedicated button.
More versatile
The Zenbook 14 Flip OLED is incredibly versatile, with a 15.9 mm-thin profile, a weight of just 1.5 kg, and a robust precision-engineered 360° any-position hinge. This elegant new convertible comes in a sophisticated sandblasted Foggy Silver finish, with the ASUS monogram design incorporated on the lid.
Thoughtful user-centric design is a key feature of ASUS laptops, and Zenbook 14 Flip OLED offers an outstanding user experience. For unrivaled typing comfort, the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard is engineered to perfection, with a full-size 19.05 mm key pitch, 1.4 mm key travel, and 0.1 mm keycap relief. An anti-fingerprint and hydrophobic coating makes the ASUS ErgoSense touchpad comfortable and easy to clean.
An ambient light color sensor gives the laptop the ability to automatically adjust the brightness and color temperature of the display to provide the best images in any lighting conditions. The ASUS AiSense IR FHD camera has presence-detection features that enable adaptive dimming, a feature that dims the screen if the user moves away or looks away from the screen. This forms part of the ASUS OLED Care features that maximize the longevity of the OLED display.
The AI-powered camera also supports ASUS 3D Noise Reduction technology to ensure that video noise is always minimized in video calls. Additionally, AI noise-canceling technology ensures that conference audio is always crystal clear, regardless of how many people are present. An immersive, multi-dimensional audio experience is provided by the Harman Kardon-certified Dolby Atmos sound system.
Sustainable and durable
The ASUS environmental commitment to protecting the earth is also reflected in the design of Zenbook 14 Flip OLED. The device uses 30% PCR plastics, and the packaging is now 100 percent recyclable. The energy consumption has been reduced to outperform the ENERGY STAR power-efficiency standard by up to 30 percent.

A longer laptop lifespan also reduces long-term waste, so Zenbook 14 Flip OLED is strictly tested to ensure its durability, using the latest MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard, with up to 12 test methods and 26 individual tests — the industry’s most stringent testing regime.

Pricing
The Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (UP5404) will be available in Malaysia from late March onwards, priced at RM5,499. This latest addition to the Zenbook family joins the Zenbook 14X OLED, which is already available for RM4,999.

Activision sends actual war journalists into Call of Duty: Vanguard to capture photos

“Call of Duty: Vanguard captures the epic intimacy of World War II in an incredibly immersive manner.

Indie game “Darq” turns down Epic Store deal to maintain studio credibility

Indie developer Unfold Games just released Darq, an ambitious, dreamy, horror-adventure game. Epic Games approached the developer before the release to offer an exclusivity deal, which it turned down. Unfold provided several reasons for the decision.

The developer, through a Medium post, confirmed Epic’s offer arriving days after announcing the game’s release date for Steam and GOG. The indie dev is almost entirely run by Wlad Marhulets, who turned down the offer even before talking numbers with Epic.

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

Since announcing Darq‘s release for Steam, he said pulling the game off the platform just after the fact would “ruin the credibility” of the studio, despite the appeal of the money. Marhulets had this to say:
I would like for my customers to have confidence that my word means something, especially when making [an] announcement as crucial as [a] release date/platform. Turning down the Epic exclusivity offer might have been a foolish decision in the short term, considering the amount of money that might have been involved. When thinking long term, however, this was an easy & obvious decision to make (in my case).

Darq has been listed on Steam since 2018, with GOG approval later. GOG was to provide more options to people, according to Marhulets, mentioning requests for the game to be available there. He wishes indies could be sold non-exclusively on the Epic Store, like larger, unreleased games like Cyberpunk 2077 for player choice.

Eternal City to officially launch on May 9, pre-registration now available for SEA countries

X.D. Global has officially announced the pre-registration of Eternal City for SEA countries and even better news as the game is set to launch on May 9. There’s also an ongoing pre-registration event.

Update: It is out now!

Eternal City is a real-time action mobile RPG that features a group of heroes called the “Wielders” and the story takes place in a modern city. One day, a dimensional portal called the “Black Gate” suddenly appeared in the city, summoning dangerous monsters onto the busy streets.

The Wielders were finally called into action as it’s the first time that humans who possess special abilities were discovered. They possess immense destructive powers capable of beating those monsters to a pulp and can even wield mythological weapons.

It’s up to them to seal off the Black Gate to prevent further catastrophe. Even after saving the city, the war didn’t stop there as the Wielders of the Central Department continued their long dragged-out battle against the Xenos World.

Players as the protagonist will first enter the city to save the day. As you progress, you’ll learn and discover more about the world. Remember, the Black Gate is not the only thing you should be worried about.

Many popular artists were invited to participate in the game’s production. Furthermore, the expert Japanese musician, Kawai Kenji, was behind the game’s music. Also, the game features a few well-known voice actors such as Hanazawa Kana, Uchida Maaya, and Kugimiya Rie.

Again, there’s an ongoing pre-registration event and the number has already reached a total of 424,584 as of now. Reaching the 500,000 mark will grant all those who have pre-registered with the ultimate set of rewards and also a free Wielder chosen by the players themselves so what are you waiting for?
