For those unfamiliar with Rozen Maiden, it features Dolls who are seeking to become “Alice”, the perfect daughter to their “father”. These Dolls are assisted by humans who make contracts with them, providing the power they need to battle in spaces dubbed as “N-Fields”, which can cost the humans should the Dolls draw on too much from them. Dolls who lose will have to give up their Rosa Mystica, a power that animates them in the first place, and brings the winning Doll one step closer to becoming Alice.
The official Twitter has teased Laplace’s Demon, Kanaria and Hinaichigo as part of the countdown to the collaboration, though it’s not mentioned if the rest of the cast will be made playable.

Five new anniversary events
As an anniversary edition of the championship, WRC 10 already offers a large number of historical and key events of the championship since 1973. After the 3 historical events added in October, five new events are now available in WRC 10! Famous driver and co-driver duos will compete in their cars of the time:

Rally Argentina in 1994 with Didier Auriol and Bernard Occelli in their Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD
Rally Argentina in 2004 with Carlos Sainz and Marc Martí in their Citroen Xsara WRC
Rally Germany in 2002 with Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena in their Citroën Xsara WRC

Rally Mexico in 2016 with Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila in their Volkswagen Polo R WRC

“Club” mode gets more realistic
In “Club” Mode, which allows players to create their own online events and championships, a realistic mode is now available to add an extra layer of difficulty. This mode allows you to carry over the damage inflicted on the vehicle to the next stage, to place one or more service parks (and to impose a mandatory passage to a service park in order to equip the car with appropriate tyres when the road surface changes between two stages), and finally, the stages are played in one shot and cannot be replayed.
WRC 10 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. A Switch version will be released at a later date. Previously, WRC 10 also revealed cool details about its sound recording.

In The Call of Yara, players can experience the UNO game in an immersive environment with a vibrant Yara-inspired board and menu, exclusive themed cards, and an immersive audio soundtrack. After drawing seven cards and 300 Pesos at the beginning of each game, players collect 100 Pesos at the beginning of every turn they can spend to hire the services of Libertad legends.

Paradigm Paradox Details Revealed

After a brief wait since the game’s announcement in July, we finally know more details about the upcoming Otome game Paradigm Paradox.

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

The game will release for the Nintendo Switch in Japan next year in 2021, though no concrete date has been set. Instead, however, we know the game will retail for 6500 Yen (RM253.98), with a limited edition going for 8500 Yen (RM 332.11).
Paradigm Paradox is a visual novel-style Otome game, featuring gender-swapping, space colonies and the struggle of Heroes fighting off the villainous Vermin. In other words, it’s got plenty of the weird stuff that makes Visual Novels so popular.

The game’s summary doesn’t really go into the details of what being a hero has to do with the gender swapping, but that secret’s probably best saved for those who play the game.
This is the first of the game’s new details we’re seeing, as it was merely announced as part of a line-up of visual novels coming to the Nintendo Switch previously.

The game’s website also has art and profiles of all the characters, with the gender-shifting ones having their “second forms” still kept under wraps.
Visual Novels are quite popular on handheld consoles, due to their low hardware specs and many of them having minimal gameplay. The Switch has no shortage of the genre, with many even being available in the U.S store for the Nintendo Switch.

Night Elves: The night elves of Kalimdor emphasize mobility, ranged firepower, and spellcraft. Though they lack the brute strength of other races, their skills with bow and magic more than compensate.

Huawei is launching a foldable, gaming-focused smartphone by the second half of 2018!

Gaming smartphone is probably one of the hottest trends right now, as Huawei is joining the competition following the steps of Razer (Razer Phone), ROG (ROG Phone), XiaoMi (Xiaomi Black Shark) and more. The information is confirmed by Huawei Consumer Business President Jim Xu in a recent interview, and he is stating that the gaming-focused smartphone will launch before 2018 ends.

Huawei nova 2 lite
Huawei is currently rolling out their GPU Turbo update for a long list of devices such as P20, Mate 10, P10, honor 10 and honor 9, where the update will boost the GPU’s ability, allowing users run mobile games at a higher frame rate and better graphics. The upcoming Huawei gaming phone will take advantage of this new technology too.

Also, according to Jim Xu, the upcoming smartphone will not feature moving mechanical parts (like the pop-out camera on OPPO Find X), instead they are making it foldable.
FYI, Samsung is working on a foldable smartphone too
We can expect more from Huawei since they always bring us surprises and of course, there must be something new and powerful enough to rival the existing gaming smartphones. Maybe a new chipset that is faster than Kirin 970 or multiple displays that could run different apps at the same time? More details will be revealed as 2018 plays out, so stay tuned!

Dysterra Playtest Impressions – Construct additional pylons

Dysterra is, as it describes itself, a “Sci-Fi based FPS survival game where the players cooperate with/compete against each other on a destroyed Earth”. A number of you may have already gotten in to a playtest build, which as you might expect, has Jank due to it being an early build. Keep that in mind moving forward, for this early impressions.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

At its core, it plays much like other survival FPS games where you get dropped in some random starting location from which you venture out to find crafting materials, and also gun fights.

DO WE ALL LOOK THE SAME?
Dysterra leans into that futuristic look to keep to its sci-fi theme. It can stand to look more varied, as many of the buildings have similar appearances and layout. The sound effects need more polish too, as the cues don’t quite seem to match and can be confusing. Character customization is presently very limited, offering only a few face presets and different colours for your Machine Arms.

IT’S A-ME, PERCENTAGES
For now, there are only three different stats to take note of: Health, Satiety (Hunger) and Battery, so there’s less micro-managing. When your Health falls to 0, you die. Satiety is roughly a stamina bar, with every action consuming a variable amount. The Battery is related to use of the Machine Arm.
Then, you have the skill trees. Skill points can be obtained simply by playing the game, gathering or killing enemies. The two currently available major skill trees divide further into a total of five sub-branches:

Survival: Breaks into Recovery, Exploring and Special Ability branches. These skills are related to map exploration and combat.
Resources: Breaks into Gathering and Construction. As the names suggest, these are for your resource gathering and structure building.

Much like its aesthetics and sound effects, Dysterra‘s skill system needs more work when all they do is Make Number Change by Percentages. The Special Ability sub-branch unlocks Three extra things, and it’s back to the numbers game.

Since this is a survival multiplayer game, sooner or later you’d probably end up dying. You will lose everything except the three items you have in specific Secured slots, so be sure to put the things you really want in there.
Bleeding, Radiation and Fracture are status effects that can afflict you. It’s hard to tell if they scale differently if you’re in an early game area, but at least Bleeding seems to barely do anything.
IT’S NO RUST
Just pick up everything you can since they all have their own use. It’ll suck if you’re missing that one thing, after all. Terrasite and Metals are especially required.
Terrasite is for crafting batteries, recovery items, cooking, fuel, electricity, the list practically goes on. Metals are mainly for weaponry, and you’d want to be armed when you’re out in the open. That said, resources are also quite abundant, as everything will respawn after some time in your immediate vicinity. Hoarding until you are 2000% prepared is an option if not particularly practical.

Exploration is certainly a gameplay loop, but it can feel tedious due to how repetitive its design is. Enemy variety is minimal until you get further into the game. For food, only elk and bear can be hunted down, with two variations each. Certain areas have level recommendations, which don’t seem very impactful at this stage. The Machine Arm is meant to help you find and gather things, which is where the Battery comes in. Vision Scan is a function to help you locate materials, depleting the bar as you proceed.
BOB THE FUTURE BUILDER
Craft things either impromptu or getting to your workbench for all the other options. All your exploration supplies can be done extremely conveniently without needing the workbench, and the game allowing you to select your chosen item, its quantity and you can leave the crafting menu as it hums along in the background. The completed products will be automatically deposited in your inventory and where relevant – like weapons or consumables – will enter an empty Quick Slot.

F2 lets you start the building process through a wheel menu. You will need a foundation first before everything else, raising it if you need to before you proceed with having an actual construction. Your humble hut will need a Building Core stuffed with Terrasite to ensure it doesn’t degrade, and a Power Board to get the electricity running. Building Cores cannot be placed too near each other, even if they happen to be your own.

SHOOTY?
A server is supposed to have 100 players but perhaps the size of the map even in a populated server meant I couldn’t get a PVP taste going. The systems are functional and do what they should, that there’s plenty yet they can improve on.

You can encounter robots which are sitting down and can be attacked. Thing is, they are only vulnerable once they fully stand up, which on one hand, seems fair, but on the other, this is a survival game and staying too long in one spot could be detrimental.
NOT YET LIKE DYS
On the MSI Crosshair 15, there were some dropped frames. For reference, the minimum requirements list a 6-core CPU. Needless to say, optimization has to be on their to-do.
Dysterra has some things going for it: convenient crafting, easy building, and a pretty okay survival game as a base. Things requiring polish almost run the whole gamut: audio, environmental design, more meaningful skills, and the like, which they can hopefully figure out following this playtest.
Here’s to hoping they’ll be able to implement the changes to make it even better.

South Korea Says Blue Archive And FGO Are 18 Games In New Decision

The government of South Korea has decided to reclassify Blue Archive and Fate/Grand Order to the 18 rating, barring teenagers from playing the titles.

According to EBN, the South Korea Game Management Committee reclassified Blue Archive and Fate/Grand Order, though no specific reason was given.

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

The games previously enjoyed a 15 rating- allowing them to be advertised and, more importantly, played by younger players.
Here is the description of an 18-rated game, according to the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) website:
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The content and motif of the game have representations of obscenity, violence, speculation, etc. that would be harmful to children under 18 (direct and concrete graphical representation of sexuality, violence, improper language(expletives), reproduction of gambling spirit (existence of arousing of passion of excessive use of gaming money, or dependence on one’s luck, but no real gaining or loss of one’s asset).
While it’s easy to see how gacha games like FGO and Blue Archive might run afoul of these descriptions, it’s important to note that there’s nothing unique about them to be distinctly rated.
The website itself implies that rating changes are typically done with new updates, but neither game has gotten an update too different from its standard business.
Blue Archive is a game at this point almost identified by its sexual content- the game drew criticism at launch over censorship in its later release, and the game recently announced a second client for fans to choose just how sexual their experience would be.

Say cheese! Razer Kiyo Pro webcam review

In this time of physical distancing, when you want to see someone’s face, you’d do video conferencing, and that needs a camera or webcam. Laptops often come with one, but they aren’t necessarily going to show your prettiest face. That preamble is to sell you the Razer Kiyo Pro, of course (mostly joking). This fancy new camera is a simple plug-in-and-play add on, with most of the customization to be done in Razer Synapse, available in Malaysia at RM1,149. Without further ado, let’s get into the review.

THE BUILD
Out of the box, the webcam is noticeably solid and quite heavy. Despite being made of hard plastic, it still looks premium, and it’s void of especially awkward logo placements. You’ll connect the Kiyo Pro to a monitor mount using a screw, so it’s easy for you to unscrew it and move it around on other mounts to suit your needs.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

There’s little issue to position the camera as well, as the included 59-inch braided USB-C cable is generous to snake around things. To keep it relatively dust free, the webcam also comes with a cover you can place over it once it’s not in use. When it is being used, the LED on the top of the camera will turn on. If you’re wondering if you need to tack on a microphone as well, the webcam has a built-in omnidirectional microphone. It works roughly as well as regular gaming headsets, but if you don’t mind that, that will be an option open to you.
PICTURE PERFECT
When it comes to camera, naturally the first thing you’ll be looking for is clarity of images. Compared to many webcams out there, you can expect to get some of the most true to life shots of yourself, with plenty of details, warts and all (quite literally). With its wide-angle capture, you’ll be able to see half of your background. In a perfectly lit room, your pictures will not have grain, and in a dark room with hardly any light sources, it’ll still be able to capture your face, though as expected, it’ll be grainy.

                    Natural lightning.

                    Minimal lighting (monitor screen).

                    Dark (no lighting).

In the case of webcams, you might have found your images overexposed. As befitting its name, the Razer Kiyo Pro is able to smartly optimize the colours and saturation of your image. For use in darkened situations, the webcam will still be able to perform, but regardless, it should work better still with a ring light. Despite its good work, the auto focus can still fall short on occasion, so get some extra shots in to be safe.
SETTINGS
As with all Razer products, the Kiyo Pro is fully compatible with Razer Synapse. With the software, you’ll be able to fiddle with a whole bunch of settings, from brightness to contrast, saturation and white balance. There’s also swapping between HDR and SDR capture, or from autofocus to digital manual focus, and can even select from 3 different fields of view: (80 degrees (Linear), 90 degrees (Medium) and 103 degrees (Wide).

                    Wide shot.

                    Medium shot.

                    Linear shot.

If you’re not one to fiddle too much over settings, it does come with four built in presets ranging from Default, Cool, Vibrant and Warm. Otherwise, you can dive into the custom mode and the advanced settings tab to play around with the array of settings they’ve given you. The Vibrant present looks to give some of the best results with a good balance of colours, but of course, it’s down to personal preference.

The camera’s maximum output is 1080p at 60FPS, and you’ll need to activate the feature in your recording software. You’d think with the price, a higher resolution – 4K to start – would have been the baseline. Speaking of software, the Kiyo Pro is only customizable through Razer Synapse, forcing you to download the program. This can potentially be a turn off for some people. It would have been nice to switch between HDR and cycle through FOVs without the add on.
VERDICT
The Razer Kiyo Pro is definitely an advanced webcam, and its complexity can be too much for casual users. It’s also pretty expensive, but can only has HDR and 1080P / 60FPS. While the light sensor technology it comes with is very impressive and will be able to function in dimmer environments, you’d definitely prefer to still put the footage through some post-processing for the best possible results.
The biggest improvement the Pro version has over its non-Pro counterpart is the light sensor tech and the 1080P / 60 FPS recording, which on its own, isn’t worth the asking price to really recommend this over the non-Pro version that still can provide good image quality.

New Pokemon Snap Release Date Announced

After a long wait, fans finally have new information about the latest Pokemon Snap game, including the New Pokemon Snap release date.

From a gameplay perspective, it looks like the game will be sticking to the tried and true mechanics of Pokemon Snap. It’s essentially a rail shooter, where you take photos of Pokemon enjoying their natural habitat. You can throw fruits to draw their attention, getting special interactions that will make your photos more valuable.
It looks like there will be special variants of Pokemon too, as the trailer closes off with a larger-than-average Meganium. It doesn’t have Sword And Shield’s Gigantamax effects around it and it’s not massively large, but it’s a lot bigger than the Pokemon’s regular height.

The Pokemon Company haven’t explained in greater detail if there would be any new mechanics coming to the game, or if they’d bring back the sticker printer that was so fondly remembered by fans of the original. However, now that we know the New Pokemon Snap release date, its only a matter of time until more details emerge one way or another.

Monster Hunter Rise : What’s New, What’s Gone

Capcom has been making the media rounds, with lots of new information regarding the upcoming Monster Hunter Rise. They’ve discussed broad stroke ideas of the game, as well as some of its more technical aspects.

Related Posts

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

World Vs Rise
One of the most important pieces of information was where exactly Rise fits in the grand scheme of Monster Hunter. For example, Monster Hunter World, despite lacking a big number, was essentially Monster Hunter 5. This marked the 5th generation of the game, and you’ll find many references to it in the game itself.
With Rise however, it’s not exactly Monster Hunter 6. Instead, the game fills a role much more similar to the 3DS’ Monster Hunter Generations. It acts as more of an in-between of the generations, so it would fit the general themes of the 5th generation (ie mobility and openness) without introducing too many radical new ideas.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

One thing you might have noticed is that the Hunter now has voicelines. These, thankfully, can be turned off in the options settings, so you can decide how vocal your hunter is going to be.
Unlike other games, you may also notice that Rise has a much more traditional Japanese aesthetic. This aesthetic permeates everywhere, from the main village to even the starting armor set. Even the monsters shown so far take their influences from various Yokai in Japanese mythology.

Gameplay
In several interviews, Capcom has answered questions regarding the game’s performance and mechanics. This includes discussing mechanics from previous games, as well as the standout new feature for Rise, the Wirebug.
First things first, Capcom has confirmed that Mounting would not be returning as we currently know it. In previous games, players could do jump attacks to mount a monster, where they could score knockdowns for completing a minigame. With the increased aerial mobility in Rise, this mechanic would not be returning.
The game will also be running on the RE Engine, as previously speculated by fans. According to Eurogamer, the game will be running at 30fps on the Switch. While its always disappointing the game won’t be running 60, it’s the same as World’s frame rate on PS4 and Xbox One.
Additionally, you won’t have to worry about playing with your friends in Rise, as the game’s return to handheld also means the return of local wireless multiplayer. This is great for yelling at your friends who wake up a sleeping monster, since the game will not support built-in voice chat.
One of the big innovations in World was the seamless integration of story and multiplayer quests. For Rise, they’re going back to the old format. IGN reports that they’ll be using the old-school method, with separate “Village” quests acting as single-player only quests, and “Gathering quests” acting as the game’s multiplayer content. There hasn’t been any confirmation on if that means dynamic health scaling is gone too, however.
Alas, all we know about the Palamute plush is that unless you’re in Japan, you’re probably not getting it.
Bugs And Dogs, Oh My
It’s not all just return-to-old-stuff, though. Rise is adding many new features as well, from new companions to the new wirebug.
The Wirebug is by-and-large the biggest new feature in World. From the gameplay demos, we know that they allow hunters to grapple on to even thin air. This means you can basically do jump attacks from anywhere, which explains them cutting mounting.
You have two wirebugs, which are on a cooldown. You can also pick up additional wirebugs in the environment. Each weapon also gets special Wirebug moves, with different ones causing different cooldowns on the wirebug. This is a pretty large change from the Slinger in World, which had no cooldown and was reliant on ammo and grapple points.
Similarly, don’t expect to get any more wall slams in Rise. Since the Wirebug is purely a grappling hook, you’re not likely to be launching projectiles with it.
Wirebugs also work in tandem with another great new addition to the game, wall running. Now you can seamlessly run up vertical surfaces, which can be comboed with the wirebug to get you some good airtime. It’s no Glider mantle, but in my opinion it’s a linear improvement to it since you get to keep your momentum on the way down.
Wirebugs aren’t the only new thing coming in Rise, though, You may have seen the latest companion, the Palamute. In Rise, you’ll have two ‘companion’ slots. You can fill these with either the support-focuse Felynes, or the offense-focused Palamutes. Additionally, these dog-like companions can also be ridden to get across the large, seamless maps.
In multiplayer, you’ll only be able to take one companion with you. However, unlike previous games, you’ll be able to take these companions even if your hunt is at max capacity. What this means is that the Switch will be processing 8 moving entities in a hunt at any given time, not including the monster you’re hunting.

Rising Star
It certainly seems like Monster Hunter Rise is going to be an interesting mix of both old Monster Hunter elements and new ones. As someone who really enjoyed World, it’s a little disheartening to see some of the more obtuse mechanics like the Quest separation come back. However, the inventive new mechanics like the Wirebugs definitely seem like something to look out for.
What we do know, though, is that Capcom are clearly not content to rest on their laurels and are working hard to make a new iteration of the beloved hunting franchise. Happy hunting!

Gran Turismo 7 Review – A Love Letter to Car Lovers

7 may be a lucky number, but for the Gran Turismo series, it’s not just luck, but dedication and love from the developers that I’ll go into detail in this review. With the series turning 25 this year, Gran Turismo has an immense history of car simulation and appreciation.

Gran Turismo 7 releases on PS5 and PS4 on 4 March 2022. Note that this review of Gran Turismo 7 is based on my experience playing the game on the PS5.

With that out of the way, let’s dive into this review of Gran Turismo 7!

Graphics and Audio
Gran Turismo games offer some of the most realistic-looking graphics, more than any other competitor out there. Considering that Gran Turismo is equal parts racing and vehicle simulation, it’s easy to see how the game looks so breathtaking compared to other racing games. It’s not just the cars—it’s how they belong so naturally in their surroundings and how light behaves in this game that exemplifies the visual goodness.

Specifically for the PS5 version of the game, players can chose between Frame Rate Mode and Ray Tracing Mode. Obviously, Ray Tracing makes the game look slightly better in exchange for keeping frame rate at 30 FPS. Note that the game actually suggests using Ray Tracing for modes where “quick response time is not really required”, such as race replays and photo mode.

Personally, I can barely notice the difference in graphics when using Ray Tracing mode. Lighting looks a teeny bit better with Ray Tracing on in photo mode, but I cannot tell the difference when viewing replays. For the most part, you’ll ought to be sticking to Frame Rate Mode, where the game run at a consistent 60 FPS.
As for the audio, Gran Turismo 7 uses 3D Spatial Audio. The audio quality is top notch—I could easily differentiate things like the details when driving, such as the sound made when moving from a wide road to a narrow one. Weather effects like rain hitting the roof your car feels natural and just right. Above all else, the sound that each car engine makes is distinct and divine.

Difficulty
The Gran Turismo series has always been a daunting series for racing game newbies to get into. This isn’t your Need For Speed where you just press X and steer—Gran Turismo‘s gameplay hinges more on physics and realism, making control of your vehicle a skill to master.
Thankfully, I feel that Gran Turismo 7 is the most accessible entry in the franchise yet for newcomers. The Assist Preset Selection is divided into three difficulties—Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. Depending on the difficulty, the game will provide assistance in the form of features like Driving Markers, Lines and even how much of the vehicle’s controls are taken care of by the AI. It really helps you get into the groove of things instead of throwing you into the deep end like early Gran Turismo games.
Player assistance aside, you can also choose the difficulty for the AI ranging between Easy, Normal and Hard. The difficulty of the AI in this game feel a lot more appropriate and balanced. Make no mistake—Hard is still an immense challenge.

Gameplay
Instead of open world where you can free roam around like in Forza, the World Map from Gran Turismo 4 makes a return in Gran Turismo 7, letting you choose where you want to explore. The game offers 34 locations and over 90 layouts available for its circuits divided into Americas, Europe, Asia-Oceania. There is a fair share of real life tracks and fantasy tracks to drive around in.
Gran Turismo 7 has over 400 cars for you to drive around in. You can tune them and change them to a terrifyingly in-depth degree. From changing tires to adjusting susnepnsion and transmission there is a lot of different ways to bring the most out of your car. Fine-tuning aside, you can also customise stuff like bumpers, wheels, decals and all sorts of modifications for your ride. Car maintenance is also a thing, so servicing and going for a car wash are important to ensure your car runs at its best.
Players progress in Gran Turismo 7 through the GT Café. The GT Café is essentially a menu that provides quests and missions to complete, giving players a sense of direction and what to do. However, the way Polyphony Digital presents this menu of quests is through a relaxing cafe. You’re not just hopping around quests like the typical menu, you can actually chill in the cafe while learning about the history of cars. If you love cars, you’ll absolute love how GT Café is presented. It took me about 20 hours to clear all the quests, so you can expect a fair bit of things to do.

As for the actual driving, you have many different ways to go about it. Getting a license will probably one of the priorities for many players. There are 5 licenses, ranging from National “B” to Super license. You will need a higher class of license for more prestigious tournaments, so be sure to clear the lessons. Thankfully, the lessons aren’t too hard to complete, especially when compared to older Gran Turismo games.
Licenses aren’t the only restrictions for races. Some races are restricted to specific vehicles. For example, you may be restricted to using a Japanese car with a maximum PP (Performance Point) of up to 600 only. You’ll naturally want to be collecting all sorts of vehicles, so the restrictions are a great way to get you to explore cars that you haven’t fall in love with yet.

Music Rally is a new mode in Gran Turismo 7 that I truly love. Depending on how fast you’re going, the game will set appropriate music with matching BPM to go along with your speed. It’s a cool change of pace that blends racing and rhythm games.
Outside of driving, you can express your love for cars through taking photos of them in Scapes. You can take photos in over 2,500 spots from all around the world for a picturesque memory. Beyond that, there is a huge collection of creative tools that lets you edit photos, replays and even stickers, which can be shared with other players.

Multiplayer
A pleasant surprise is the addition of local co-op in Gran Turismo 7. This is something that I feel is missing in quite a lot of modern racing games nowadays, so it’s awesome that Gran Turismo 7 lets you race with a friend next to you in splitscreen. One thing that I find a bit awkward is how the screen is divided. The screen is split vertically into right and left, instead of up and down like many other games.
Online, you can also race with friends through Rooms or take part in daily Races, Sport Mode and Championships. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to test the online multiplayer in Gran Turismo 7 for this review as the servers were offline.

DualSense Features
Gran Turismo 7 really makes good use of the DualSense features for the PS5. The adaptive trigger makes you feel the difference in weight between cars. A lighter car is easier to accelerate with R2 compared to a heavier one. Depending on how hard you press the R2 or L2 button, you can adjust how fast you want your car to accelerate or break.
Haptic Feedback in Gran Turismo 7 really amps up the immersion. You can clearly feel the specific parts of the controller vibrating when you’re steering.

Closing Thoughts
Gran Turismo 7 is the gold standard of how game franchises should make a new entry. It brings back the features in old games that people love and add new features that are innovative and fun. It’s the most accessible entry in the series to date, with better AI and just about better everything.
