Game Devs Are Roasting Mike Shinoda From Linkin Park For Not Knowing Anything About NFTs Or Game Design

Mike Shinoda, rapper from Linkin Park is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the NFT in gaming craze, having an inversely proportionate amount of confidence to actual game development knowledge.

In a tweet with almost as many retweets as there are replies, Mike Shinoda deals out a straight-up lie about NFTs in games- that by hypothetically owning an NFT item, you’d be allowed to carry it into any game you want.

“Imagine taking your favorite skin from Valorant, and using it Fortnite. And not paying extra, because you own it. Then using it in CoD, Minecraft, even Twitter, IG.“, one of his tweets reads.
It should be noted that his NFT thoughts are all over the place in a thread, with this particularly egregious one being a reply to someone else- now hilariously ratioed at over 2,000 quote retweets to 71 replies.

“This is extremely disappointing and absolutely not how game development works. :/“, says Jess, UI designer at Raven Software, one of the studios working on Call of Duty Warzone.
Tim Spencer, Lead Designer at TT Games was quick to remind the rapper that that’s just not how game design works:

“And whos paying the different dev teams in different companies who use different engines with different pipelines and different platforms to implement and maintain this? And why would they add your NFT skin when they can sell many skins themselves and make all the money? #gamedev “, he says.

It’s not just game developers either, as GamesIndustry.Biz News Editor Danielle Partis also took aim with a reference to Shinoda’s song Remember The Name.
“This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 80% concentrated digital shill“, Partis says.
Industry critic James-Stephanie Sterling also chimed in, calling out Shinoda’s justification as an after-the-fact one.
“They started selling these useless things and are now desperately trying to make up reasons to justify them existing”, they said.
The Nightmare Of Inter-Studio Communication
Even if you wanted the technical limitations aside, there’s also the issue of IP rights. Months ago, Smash Bros series producer Masahiro Sakurai talked at length about just how much of a logistic nightmare it was adding Sora from Kingdom Hearts to the game, due to the fact he was jointly owned by Disney and Square Enix.

“It’s fair to say that [Sora’s] addition required more coordination than other fighters”, Sakurai said.
While Sakurai never goes into the details, it’s almost universally understood that Disney’s licensing of its characters can be a nightmare- Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite wasn’t allowed to show Marvel characters losing to Capcom’s heroes, and Donald and Goofy are hilariously missing from Sora’s Smash Bros appearance.
Once you do get into the technical limitations, there’s a whole other can of worms- making assets work between games is a full-time job, and any game would have to sink in resources for something with no actual value back to their games, as Tim mentioned earlier. Pokemon has so much trouble with its assets that Sword and Shield couldn’t even launch with every single Pokemon in it, and that’s before having to accommodate the possibility of someone demanding other assets work in the game because they “own” it.
Reselling Digital Assets
Mike Shinoda also had one more nuclear take about the ability to resell items using NFTs:
“This is a key point. Reselling items you acquired in game. These things have value. If you got lucky and have 2 rare items, what if you could sell or gift the 2nd. For real money, not just in game cash? “.
In the interest of journalistic integrity, I should point out that this already happens. It’s a bannable offense, even. It’s not a new or revolutionary idea, it’s one so incredibly stale that every MMO already has it baked into their terms of service.

Even when it’s not banned, it’s still not new- Warframe has a thriving player economy where players trade rare mods for Platinum- the game’s premium currency.
Shinoda’s embrace of NFTs is just another in a line of people trying to pretend the format has anything new or valuable to it when the truth is it’s just people trying to make money off of attaching their own platform to an already-working system.

New Witcher game after Cyberpunk 2077 confirmed

Gamers can expect a new game within the Witcher universe from CD Projekt Red once Cyberpunk 2077 is complete. This was confirmed by company president and CEO Adam Kicinski during a meeting with journalists.

It seems that, at least according to Kicinski, there is already a “relatively clear concept” for its next single-player Witcher game. It will not be dubbed The Witcher 4, so maybe a small chance it will not be featuring Geralt as a main character? A small team is working on preparations for this Witcher title, while the two larger things will continue working on the network mode and various additions to Cyberpunk 2077. Development into the Witcher title will begin “immediately” once work on Cyberpunk 2077 comes to a close.

Screengrab of Cyberpunk 2077.
Regarding the two titles mentioned, now that they have the Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, the company now has two worlds in which it wants to create games in. This means that titles planned for the future will either be in the Witcher or Cyberpunk universe.
Wouldn’t it be curious to see a crossover of two completely different worlds? It’s certainly an incredibly sharp contrast between medieval times and future tech, but think of the possibilities that could arise. We’ll keep an eye out for more news. In any case, we’d expect the new Witcher title to be available for the next-gen consoles, at the very least.

Ragnarok X: Next Generation SEA Could Come Out Very Soon

Waiting for regional versions of games is always a a gamble, as is the case with Ragnarok X: Next Generation SEA, which might be coming sooner than you think.

Currently, the game has launched in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, where it was reportedly the top earning game for Q4 2020. Gravity, the owners of the Ragnarok IP, had disclosed in December that they were planning to debut the SEA release in “The first half of 2021”.

To add to the excitement an official Thai Facebook page for the game has launched, announcing Ragnarok X: Next Generation SEA. It makes no other mention of any details outside of that, only promoting the game’s feature. The page is verified, meaning we can probably expect more news from this source in future.
Gravity Games Tech are the IP holders for Ragnarok, which had its heyday in the early 2000s with the widely popular Ragnarok Online, even getting its own anime.
Since then, they’ve been delving into the mobile market by expanding the IP with Ragnarok M: Eternal Love and most recently Ragnarok X: Next Generation.
Next Generation is a 3D RPG , with many of the same elements that made Ragnarok so popular such as a robust job system and cooperative fun with friends. Its main draw is the fully 3D world, allowing it to look like more contemporary mobile MMOs.

Soul Hackers 2 has a very different aesthetic from the cyberpunk original although that may just be due to the original being inspired by 90s anime while this takes more from the sleeker, cleaner look of modern anime.
Within the trailer, we can already see many references to the original Soul Hackers most notably an updated version of the GUMP or Gun COMP that is used to summon demons. References to the name ‘Phantom Society’, a villainous group in the original game can also be heard.

This will be the first new entry in the Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner subseries since Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha 2 back in 2009. The Devil Summoner series differs from the mainline Shin Megami Tensei series in that it doesn’t take place in a post-apocalyptic setting. Instead, the games tend to be occult thrillers, playing as a detective or hacker solving supernatural mysteries involving demons.
The game will have a limited edition version that will come with a cosplay Jack Frost figurine and a CD collection of music from the game. It’s also confirmed that there will be Persona 5 costumes as a pre-order bonus.

The game will be released in Japan on August 25th and outside Japan on August 26th for International markets.
The game will be available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. This will be the first Shin Megami Tensei game released for Xbox systems since Shin Megami Tensei Nine in 2002 on the original Xbox.

After delaying its initially planned 23 January 2020 release, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered will be launching 27 August 2020! The game will be available on iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, and the Playstation 4 as well in digital format. The official Twitter account notes the mobile release is subject to change. You can read more about the release on Playstation Blog too which writes the following:

We’re excited to announce the release date for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition. The beloved RPG will arrive on PS4 on (dramatic pause)…

…August 27, 2020!
As the name implies, this is a remaster of the classic Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, which originally released in the West back in 2003.

That means this is the first time the game will be available on PlayStation — and believe me, it’s been well worth the wait because this is far from a simple re-release.
The team has refined and improved the adventure, enhancing numerous elements and even adding entirely new features. We’ll talk about them here, but you can see some of them in action in the new trailer above.
Before we dig into the laundry list of enhancements though, we should probably introduce the game for any of you who aren’t already familiar with it.
What is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles?
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a 1-4 player RPG that focuses on a young group known as the Crystal Caravans, as they embark on an epic journey to search for myrrh. This precious and rare liquid is desperately needed to cleanse and maintain a crystal that protects them, and their world, from a poisonous gas.
You – either on your own or with up to four friends – will embark on perilous quests, explore beautiful lands full of secrets and face the dangerous monsters that lurk within.

What’s been added to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition?

As mentioned, a host of enhancements and features have been added to this new game — so much so we should probably call it Remastered Addition. I mean, yes, that’s a terrible pun that barely makes sense, but the overall point stands.
Here’s just a sample of what’s in this new and improved edition:
Improved visuals and audio: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles’ always had a unique sense of style, and on PS4 it’s never looked — or sounded — better. You’ll be able to explore this expansive world with updated HD visuals and even enhanced audio.
Character voiceovers: the inhabitants of the game have been brought to life with new voice acting.
Online multiplayer — with crossplay! Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is an amazing co-operative multiplayer experience, and Remastered Edition makes it easier than ever before to join people to play with. You’ll be able to travel with up to three other players (four players total) — and crossplay support means anyone who owns the game will be able to join!
New challenging dungeons: This updated version of the game also features new dungeons for you and your friends to battle through. We could say more, but we’d rather let you discover them for yourselves.
An entirely new ‘Mimic’ feature: By collecting stamps, visiting Moogle Houses or completing difficult dungeons, you’ll get Memory Crystals which you can use to change your characters’ appearance to that of various characters you’ll meet on your adventure. If you want to add a bit more pizazz to your party, now you can!

Play like a girl: engage one of Asia’s fastest growing gaming audiences

A demographic released by Google showcases something clear: the profile “typical gamer” in Asia has totally transformed in the past five years. With an increasing number of genres and more inclusive storylines, more female gamers are finding the joys in games too. In partnership with Niko Partners, this is an insight into Asia’s gaming market, to understand the evolving landscape and uncover new ways to engage the growing audience of female gamers.

Asia on its own has been a leader in regards to video game fandom, driving almost half (48%) of the world’s total gaming revenue in 2019: $69 billion of an overall total of $145B. Total number of gamers have also grown by 18% (1.13B in 2017 to 1.33B in 2019) with female gamers increasing from 32% to 38%. Gaming technology, internet access have been improving, and more immersive and accessible games means even more potential players. The number of female gamers have been growing faster than their male counterparts in Asia.

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

By region, the percentage of female gamers in Asia:

India: 18% (54M)

Numbers are expected to rise significantly with smartphone penetration and internet access

China: 45% (308M)
South Korea: 40% (13.6M)
Japan: 40% (18.4M)
Southeast Asia: 40% (100M)

With more widespread mobile access, more gamers can play whenever and wherever they want, and itself has become the most popular platform for female gamers by far. From 500M – numbers do also overlap with users gaming on multiple platforms – 473M play on mobile, a whopping 95%, followed by 201M (40%) on PC and 8.5M (2%) on consoles. As such, females account for 35% of mobile game revenue, forecasted to rise to 39% in 2020.

In China alone,

$4.4B was spent on PC games
$6.6B on mobile
with 60% of female gamers spending on mobile

60% of female gamers spend up to seven hours a week playing, while more than half of all male gamers play more than eight hours a week. Female gamers also tend to prefer intense, hardcore titles with strategic gameplay and diverse character options, which will include genres such as MMORPGs, Anime, Comics and Games, MOBAs and shooters.

Keeping up with their male counterparts, females are also getting increasingly more involved in esports, with teams and leagues of female gamers taking the stage. China specifically sees these female esports fans levelling the playing field.

COVID-19 has impacted the industry as a whole, and has left some effect on gamers overall. The required social distancing meant both male and female gamers have increased game time due to needing to stay isolated. China, being Asia’s biggest gaming market, saw in an April 2020 survey that mosts females did end up gaming at home. With more time spent gaming, the ladies also spent more on their favourite games.
Time spent on platforms:

97.9% more on console
96.8% on mobile
89.9% on PC

Spending:

78% on mobile
69.2% console
63.8% PC

Clearly, mobile looks to be the way to go if developers and publishers wish to engage in their female demographic. It’s likely easy to want to come up with a free to play title, with gacha elements to encourage spending which can work for both male and female gamers. Of course, it isn’t enough to just put together a free title: the storylines, character options and other unique elements are important as well, and an improved overall product won’t simply attract only female gamers, after all. A quality product will be able to attract all demographics.
Esports is still a growing market, and there’s plenty of space for female teams and leagues to grow. The possibilities of mixed leagues may be of interest to organizers, if not female-only leagues. Last but not least is needing a diverse team of developers and designers to know what appeals to female gamers if they wish to solely focus on them.

Genshin Impact earns $60 million in first week

Genshin Impact has been pretty inescapable in the past couple of weeks since the game’s launch on 28 September. According to Sensor Tower, miHoYo‘s title generated approximately $60 million in player spending on the App Store and Google Play during the week following its official launch. It was the no. 2 grossing mobile game world wide, behind Honor of Kings and above PUBG Mobile. Genshin was no. 1 earning mobile RPG in the same week, beating out Monster Strike and Fate/Grand Order.

The China server generated close to $25 million on the Apple App Store, figure not counting third-party Android stores, and already making close to 42% of total revenue. The rest of the world contributed the remaining approximate $35 million: Japan came in second at $17 million of the worldwide contribution, with $8 million from the United States at third place.
Genshin was No. 3 top grossing title in the country during the official launch week, also securing No. 3 in Japan while comfortably No. 5 for the United States. Most spending players have been from the Apple App Store at $42 million, with the approximate remainder of $17.7 million being from Google Play.

If those figures already seem staggering enough, they only count the official launch week. Considering China had some time in an “open beta” where microtransactions were already available, imagine just how much more the game as earned.
As it stands, Genshin‘s launch was also the biggest international one to emerge from China. We’ll see how much further its reach will get.

Tears of Themis invites you to think back to a much more romantic high school time with the upcoming Revisiting Youth event.

Looking back upon the days of adolescence, it feels like time has slipped out of our hands like water. Take a stroll around the high school campus with him, and reminisce over sweet memories together.

Years ago, the stubborn youth chose to hide his fears and loneliness behind a tough shell. But with you by his side, he now has someone with whom he can share all his joys and sorrows.

Diablo Immortal Technical Alpha Endgame Class Overview

It’s no secret that we’ve really been into Diablo Immortal. Almost obsessively so, some might say. Of course, those long hours weren’t for naught, it was to make sure you, dear reader, could know as much about the Diablo Immortal Endgame as possible.

With that in mind, we’re looking at the Diablo Immortal Endgame Classes. Any mook can tell you that the Demon Hunter shouldn’t get into melee. But what if that changes after equipping several Legendaries? Can the Monk turn into a Punch Wizard? We’re about to find out.

Just so you know this isn’t some “we tried 5 minutes of each class” gig, here’s all our capped out characters
Before we get into that though, there’s some disclaimers to be had. These notes are based off of the game’s Technical Alpha, so there’s very much a non-zero chance that things could change before the game’s final release. They also lowered the cap for the sake of the alpha to 45, whereas the final build of the game will have cap at 60.
Also, these experiences are entirely from solo play, so we don’t really have much to say about things like class synergy. Instead, think of this as more of a primer to what to expect if you just want to grind out some Elder Rifts real quick”.

Barbarian
The Barbarian is one of Diablo’s most iconic classes, ever since they burst onto the scene in Diablo 2. Every game has attempted to capture the character of the Barbarian, one of power and offense and creating a powerful berserker.
In Diablo Immortal, the Barbarian shares a lot with its Diablo 3 counterpart. Unlike some of the other classes, Barbarians haven’t gotten any new skills per se, though several of their skills have been renamed after their runes from Diablo 3.
Still, playing the Barbarian means access to a powerful self sustaining engine as their main skill- Lacerate – heals the Barbarian on every third hit. Currently no other class has access to built-in self healing, meaning the Barbarian can go that much farther without having to use up their potion supply.

On top of that, the Barbarian can further buff itself with a plethora of skills to make them even deadlier on the field. Wrath of the Berserker gives the Barbarian a boost to speeds both attack and movement, with 50% for weapons and a 20% for their feet.
On top of that, there’s their Sprint ability, giving a whole 50% directly into their movement speed.
This is great for the Barbarian since you’re essentially able to adjust their stats to suit the current situation, either dishing out a flurry of hits to keep your health topped up, or Sprinting towards the next big fight.
On top of that, the Barbarian has some world-class Crowd Control, turning enemies into little more than fancy damage-number-dispensers. This is especially true of their ground stomp, which can stun enemies over a large area. If enemies are being too observant of social distancing, you can also use Chained Spear to pull them towards you, or Leap to slow them before they can get away.
If you like Diablo for the power fantasy, the Barbarian is a must-pick. Watch as some cool demons and monsters get reduced to helpless dummies, then wail on them with Whirlrwind, one of the best channeling abilities in the game. It’s a tried-and-true tactic with Barbarian, and it definitely still works here.

Monk
If you like sick combos and big damage, the monk is a great choice. This class offers good burst damage, though at the cost of less-than-desirable AoE and crowd control. While many of its skills will be familiar to Monk mains from Diablo 3, the Monk has several new skills too to change things up.
One of these is the wave strike, a hadoken-like projectile that gives the Monk a bit of range. It’s a cool skill for sure, but it’s got a charge time to it making it quite situational.. There’s also Flying Kick, which gives the Monk a forward dash that also rewards positioning, by allowing you to rebound off of walls for more damage.
Imprisoned Fist is one of the Monk’s crowd control abilities, allowing you to stun enemies in a radius. With legendaries this can even be upgraded into a forward dash, basically giving it all the best parts of Flying Kick while also adding in its own crowd control.

Finally you have Shield of Zen, which dramatically increases the Monk’s survivability by giving a shield to absorb damage. It’s still not as good as the Barbarian’s survivability with Lacerate, but it’s more like a good way to buy yourself just that much more time as you rack up some sick DPS.
Since there’s no sign of the Witch Doctor in Diablo Immortal so far, the Monk now has the title of best summoning class with its ability, Mystic Ally. Summoning your own doppelgangers, these can access their own monk skills, meaning you can increase the amount of high DPS characters in your group drastically.
The Monk is definitely a great pick for those who want to be rewarded for high skill, with moves like flying kick relying on positioning, while moves like Imprisoned Fist have invincibility on start up. What this means is that rather than readjusting your strategy to play defensively, masterful use of the Monk’s offensive skills can be their own defense.
While they’re great for taking on bosses, they’re a bit more Legendary-dependent than most classes as they need to fill in many of the skill gaps they lack due to being so damage focused. After all, the monk’s raw kit (unaugmented by Legendaries) makes using AoE moves quite situational. Moves like Exploding Palm need to be triggered first, meaning won’t get the “hit button get effect” satisfaction many other classes’ skills have. Of course, you could also fill this out by partying up with other players who might have better AoE moves.

Demon Hunter
While the Monk excels at single-target damage, the Demon Hunter is a variable element, with plenty of skills to suit plenty of situations. In general the class is way more suited to offense, but the exact nature of that offense is entirely dependent on how you want to play them.

The star of the Demon Hunter’s kit is their new skill, Crossbow shot. Unlike other Diablo characters who have to stay still to use their skills, Crossbow Shot allows the Demon Hunter to run-and-gun, keeping them mobile.
There’s also several other new additions to their kit in Immortal, like an Explosive Arrow for AoE damage, as well as a Knockback Shot to keep the pressure off of you. While not ideal, they also have a close-range attack, too.

Daring Swing swipes in front of you, and also gives the Demon Hunter some invulnerability on start up. Personally I’d keep this skill for the invulnerability moreso than the damage, especially since the Wide Shot is also a great single-target burst when used point-blank.
On top of that, you have skills like Vengeance and Strafe returning from Diablo 3, giving the Demon Hunter way more damage options. I’m particularly fond of strafe, since it’s basically “Whirlwind, but with guns” and is great for when you’re really in a pinch.
Overall, it’s a great offensive class, with enough skills to be either a great AoE or single-target damage dealer. Combine that with your run-and-gun skills and most bosses should be dealt with with ease.

Wizard
At first glance, the Wizard has one of the more underwhelming kits in the game. From a raw damage perspective, the Wizard needs a lot more work to be doing boss-melting numbers.
But that’s not to say it’s entirely weak, rather, the Wizard is built on a more interesting playstyle based on synergizing all their skills. Here’s some of the Wizard’s new skills in the game:

Arcane Wind
Ice Crystal
Scorch
Lightning Nova

You might notice that all of these skills have an elemental ring to them, and that’s the lynchpin of how the Wizard plays. Many of these skills have bonus effects interacting with enemies who are already affected by certain elemental effects.
For example, Scorch can inflict enemies with a burning status effect, which Arcane Wind can then boost its own damage off of.
On top of that, one of the cooler interactions you can get is using the Ice Crystal. By firing the Wizard’s beam based Ray of Frost or Disintegrate skills, the crystal will refract it, spreading the beam’s effect over a large group of enemies.
It’s a cool gimmick, though personally I wish it didn’t also lower the damage of the individual beams. It bleads into the Wizard’s main problem, which is that while it’s a class of cool ideas, it doesn’t have the raw damage to back it up, leading it to be less interesting to those who want to also do big damage.
There’s also the case of the Wizard’s kit causing it to tripping over itself. Since skills have specific elemental interactions, you’ll obviously need to pick your skills based on what interacts with each other best. Ultimately, this leads to a lot less build diversity for the Wizards if you want decent damage. There’s a decent amount of builds, but I can easily see many comments complaining about them only having one or two ones that are actually useful.

Finally, the Wizard’s Legendaries are less interesting, and feel more like lateral upgrades instead of big spikes in power. Many of these mess with the elements of the Wizard’s spells, allowing for soft crowd control options. However, due to their weak AoE, they don’t really have many ways to capitalize off of their own abilities.
There’s also the Wizard’s channeling abilities, which are a lot of fun. Like everything else related to the Wizard, they come with a bit of an asterisk as you’re a sitting duck the entire time you do these.
That’s kind of the problem with Wizard in macrocosm- the class has some of the most fun gameplay mechanics out of all of those in the Technical Alpha so far. However, for whatever reason, it feels over-balanced to the point that it almost feels like the game thinks if its both fun AND good it’ll somehow break the game.

With the Diablo Immortal Technical Alpha coming to a close soon, there’s no telling how relevant this information will be when the game launches. After all, there’s been quite a bit of fan feedback on the game, and Blizzard can be quite receptive to these things.
Still, it’s cool to see how diverse they’ve made the classes play out in the Diablo Immortal Endgame, with a distinct playstyle for each of them. It’s really cool how many Legendary items are built around affecting specific skills, changing them enough to make some interesting subclasses.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to get in some more time before the Alpha closes.

One Piece Project: Fighter announced by Tencent

Bearing the tentative name, Project: Fighter, Tencent Games announced this One Piece mobile fighting game at their annual games conference. With an official website already established – here – the game is under development by More Fun Studios and is authorized by Bandai Namco Entertainment. You can check out the announcement trailer below:

Project: Fighter features a variety of One Piece characters in a side-scrolling beat-em-up, with the typical controls of virtual joystick, an attack button, what looks to be three other skill slots and one additional skill. It’s probably a dodge button, but considering it doesn’t always show up on the preview trailer, it could be something else instead. The flashy super moves will be present as you might expect.

Going by genre conventions, the game will probably see you move from instance to instance, culminating in a boss fight at the end. The game will probably have PVP in some form, though we’ll have to wait for confirmation on that, as well as info on whether the game is adapting any particular arc or will feature a mostly original story, and what its eventual name will be. The game is presently only confirmed for release in China, once again, but do keep an eye out for it regardless.

Here’s what we know about the gameplay of Wuthering Waves

Kuro Games has just announced the technical test for their upcoming open-world RPG game, Wuthering Waves, and while the details aren’t finalised, here’s what we know about the gameplay

Riding the Waves
While there is already a 1 minute gameplay trailer that was shown by the official Wuthering Waves twitter account, there are some additional information that we can garner up from various sources available in regards to the gameplay.

Considering Wunthering Waves is developed by the same people who did Punishing Gray Raven, it’s safe to say that the combat system will be smooth and fluid.
According to Cha0tik’s video, along with the usual chain attack combo, the dodging and parrying mechanic in the game will play a vital part in the combat system.

While we have no official clarification, it looks like an invincible dodge, and the fact there is a visual indicator when you perfectly dodge an enemy’s attack, we might be able to gain benefits from perfect dodging. Since there is a similar mechanic in Punishing Gray Raven.
It is interesting to note how Wuthering Waves will focus on the dodging and parrying mechanics, despite being a mobile game, as these mechanics tend to be challenging due to button layout.
But given their track record with developing Punishing Gray Raven and how they are able to smoothly incorporate the dodging mechanic, it is safe to say that we won’t need to be worried about that aspect.
Characters
As of time of writing this article, there are also videos that features some of the characters and their skills during the technical test.
There are also a list of characters name that appeared in the technical test:

Micai
Shanhua
Bailian
Jueyuan
Taohua
Maxiaofang
Yanyan
Rover

In the character showcase video, from characters who wield swords, focusing on close quarter combat, to gunslingers who like to poke and prod enemies from a distance , to even summoners who rely on their summons to deal damage, each of the characters in Wuthering Waves play differently from one another.
At a certain part of the story shown in this 30 minute gameplay showcase, it also seems that Wuthering Waves will have a pretty complex character system where players can play around with their character’s skills and abilities.
From the screenshot above, players are able to combine different elements for skills that relate to the specific element that was used in the skill combination.
The first skill describes the ability of an AOE attack that reduces the enemy’s fire element resistance by 40% by 3 seconds, the skill uses the Light and Fire element.
The second skill describes the ability to reduce the enemy’s light element resistance by 30% by 10 seconds, the skill uses the Dark and Light element.
The third skill describes the ability to reduce the enemy’s wind element resistance by 30% by 10 seconds, the skill uses Dark and Wind element.
In the overworld, players can also acquire memories, and weapon crafting materials that can be used to strengthen up their favourite characters.

As of date of writing this article, there is no concrete release date for Wuthering Waves, but you can check out their official website along with their official twitter account for more news and updates.

Secretlab Announces New Naruto Shippuden Gaming Chairs

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

Secretlab has announced a collaboration with Naruto Shippuden with two new chairs based on the Akatsuki clan and Naruto himself.

With this premium collection, Secretlab brings world-class ergonomics to anime fans around the world. The chairs are available in sizes S, R, and XL. The Naruto Shippuden Collection combines the award-winning features of the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 upholstered in Secretlab SoftWeave Plus fabric with the distinct art style and instantly recognizable elements from the Naruto franchise.

Inspired by the orange ninja himself, the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Naruto Edition is anchored by the Eight Sign Sealing Formula on the back of the chair, which sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto. This is an homage to his identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Magatamas on the chair’s side wings represent Naruto in Nine-Tails Mode where he draws on the beast’s power, making him the strongest human to ever live. The emblematic headband worn by all shinobi is also embedded into the chair, giving fans a special piece of the ninja identity.

The same forehead protector is featured on the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Akatsuki Edition but with a crossed-out logo, a nod to the Akatsuki custom of crossing out the symbol on their headbands to represent the members’ severed ties with their former villages. The iconic red Akatsuki symbol is embroidered on the front and back of the chair, as well as on the side wings in a quilted pattern.

“Naruto has never just been an anime,” says Alaric Choo, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Secretlab “it’s a timeless classic that has defined the teenage years of many, most of our team included. It’s incredible for us to now be able to put an authentic Naruto spin on our award-winning chairs with symbolic elements from the anime. Fans will be proud to add them to their Naruto collection.”
Laura Takaragawa, Vice President of Consumer Products at VIZ Media likewise says “Secretlab has a knack for capturing the most iconic elements of each partner they collaborate with and translating it into a one-of-a-kind feature in their chairs. They’ve once again successfully created something really true to Naruto Shippuden with this collaboration, especially with the signature shinobi headband incorporated into the chairs — it’s definitely a must-have for all fans.”
The Naruto gaming chairs are currently only available on the US, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia but will hopefully come to Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia in the near future.

Based on the thumbnail for the live stream, it appears that Midari Ikishima from Kakegurui will be appearing as a Gunner (a no brainer, considering that the series barely has any characters who wield weapons anyways). You can watch the live stream here.
