A New Fatal Frame Movie Adaptation Get’s New Update

According to Fatal Frame producer Keisuke Kikuchi in an interview with 4Gamer, the previously announced movie adaptation of the survival horror series is currently progressing in development outside Japan.

Zero: The Movie (2014). Zero being the Japanese name of the Fatal Frame series.
This actually is not something new. There has already been a Japanese Fatal Frame movie, which was released in 2014. An English adaptation of Fatal Frame has also been in development since 2014 with this most recent development basically confirming that it is still on the way.

The new western made film is being produced by Samuel Hadida who also produced the Silent Hill movies and the later Resident Evil movies. It is being directed by French director Christophe Gans. Here’s what he had to say about the movie in a 2020 interview, alongside talks on a new Silent Hill movie:
“I am working on the adaptation of the video game Project Zero (Fatal Frame) The film will take place in Japan. I especially don’t want to uproot the game from its Japanese haunted house setting. And we’re also working on a new Silent Hill. The project will always be anchored in this atmosphere of a small American town, ravaged by Puritanism. I think it’s time to make a new one.”

It is interesting to know that the movie will still take place in Japan, within a Japanese haunted house, a setting that has been seen as integral to the series since conception.
Kikuchi has previously said that he would like for there to be future Fatal Frame sequels but it all depends partially on how the upcoming Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water performs.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, the fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame video game series will release on the 28th of October for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One,  Xbox Series X, and PC.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black WaterPublisher: Koei Tecmo GamesDeveloper: KOEI TECMORelease Date: 2021-10-28Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
Mt. Hikami was once worshiped as a sacred place where a unique religion was taught.

The water on this mountain is believed to house spirits, and there is a teaching from this region that “humans are born from water and return to it at the end of their lives.”

As a result, “people looking for death” come to this mountain and experience their last moments while they come in contact with the mountain’s water. They believe this is the proper way to end their lives.

Several peculiar rituals and customs still exist on this mountain, and many bizarre and unfortunate occurrences have supposedly taken place here.

This story takes place on Mt. Hikami, a mountain believed to be a sacred place, and revolves around Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo and Miu Hinasaki who act as the three protagonists whose stories are interwoven in this mysterious and dream-like tale.

As for the game itself, you can look forward to a rather unique and interesting synchronisation mechanic which will factor in real world time and weather to portray the in-game world of Midgard. How this will impact gameplay was not disclosed however. Plot-wise, players will experience a tale revolving around girls with special abilities, though the primary focus will be that on one Norne, who will be accompanying the player throughout the journey.
The official channel will be releasing a “report” following the results of the questionnaire post the game’s closed beta test that concluded in late January 2022. From the previews, it appears to work similarly to Princess Connect, with the added twist of the synchronisation mechanics that may influence how the skills work or even the battlefield. It’ll be curious to find out if it syncs with JST or your system time when it goes live.

Ark Royal META set to replace Hiryuu META in Azur Lane

A darker, alternate version of British aircraft carrier Ark Royal will appear in Ashes Showdown in Azur Lane as Ark Royal META. Check out her design.

As the last day to get Hiryuu META is 18th March 2021, players only have a few more days to get the Japanese carrier before Ark Royal META arrives. Recruiting a META character requires players to take on Operation Siren. Players can get Ashes Coordinates from the mode which gives players the opportunity to battle the META ship and eventually recruit them.
The original version of Ark Royal is notorious for her love of destroyer-class ships. For those who are wondering, the META version of Ark Royal retains this unhealthy obsession with Azur Lane‘s destroyers. However, her personality is a lot colder and aloof overall.

In terms of design, her steampunk-inspired rifle sports a more mechanical appearance. She also wields a sabre, a weapon that does not appear in her original design.

Besides that, the game is also getting a rerun for the Ashen Simulacrum event. Baltimore, Alabama and other Eagle Union ships will be obtainable, so players should grab them before the rerun ends.

Apex Legends Season 17 Brings in Changes to the Rank System

Season 17 of Apex Legends will be bringing some new changes to its rank matchmaking, marking a significant foundational shift.

The devs will be overhauling the scoring system and how players climb the rank ladder; changing the matchmaking out of the hood to provide more consistent competitive matches over matches. Thus marking the first such of many changes that’s coming this year for ranks.

Matchmaking
A strong focus on matchmaking and creating competitive matches is the number one goal said the dev team. A brand new matchmaking system done with a hidden skill rating called MMR will be implemented in Season 17. Premade squads are taken into account to balance the competitive scene, along with the advantages premade is to have versus solos.
A new scoring system will be set which aims to put emphasis on winning the battle royale versus just racking up kills every match. The dev team retired the term rank points and are now calling them Ladder Points (LP).
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The entry cost is now static no matter what player’s rank level is, and the scoring for placement reins consistent at each rank level. Bonuses are applied to a player’s score based on a number of factors covering kills, assists, MMR performance and relation to the player’s ladder level and how challenging of a match that the player is in.
There won’t be any more splits in the season of Apex Legend either, as the rank climb resets on the seasonal reset. The main reason for this change is that provisional matches will be added to help better gauge player’s placement at the start of their rank journey for the season.

Competitive Integrity
The rank level requirement has been increased from 20 to 50, which helps slow down some smurfs and help give the dev team a little bit more time to detect cheaters that are trying to quickly get into high level rank matches.
Next, the dev team will be decoupling the matchmaking from separating MMR and ladder points. This means that the matchmaker will be able to build games based on skill, not purely on ladder placement. So if players were to cheat their way up to a lot of ladder points, they’ll still only play against people of their own skill regardless.
Adding the provisional match system will help reduce the negative effects of cheaters by keeping them from stomping their way up the ladder. But it’ll also slow them down a little bit and make them a little easier to catch.
As with botting accounts, factors such as the increased level requirement and rolling out new detection methods and bandwidth being, players should see improvements there.
A new scoring change called collusion will allow players to receive LP for unique kills and assists, which means players can no longer farm points with respawn beacons. There will also be new detection methods that will be rolled out.

Elden Ring Gets Ray Tracing In Newest Update

Elden Ring is finally getting ray tracing in its newest patch, according to Bandai Namco Entertainment.

While considered one of the hallmarks of next gen gaming, Elden Ring had previously traded out ray tracing for more processing power- with near seamless loading across the game’s huge maps.

This feature naturally bumps up the minimum specs for Elden Ring, requiring an RTX-enabled GPU to activate the feature.
Here’s the new recommended specs as of this update:

Recommended Setting: 1080p – High quality – High Ray Tracing

That’s not all that’s coming in the 1.09 update for Elden Ring, however- various balance changes are also being applied, such as a buff to grab abilities like Inescapable Frenzy in PvP.
It also speeds up the startup of several moves, like I Command Thee, Kneel while adding roll canceling to the Spinning Wheel weapon art.
This update comes about a year later after the launch of Elden Ring, and follows a series of semi regular balance patches for the game.
In the past year we’ve seen builds that focus on Bleed or Scarlet Rot made less relevant, while slower weapons have also gotten improvements.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Story Trailer Introduces Rage Rays And Genetics In New Trailer

 Monster Hunter Stories 2 : Wings of Ruin has released a new trailer giving more information about the game’s story, as well as more insight into some of the systems present in the game.

In the new trailer, we see that a large part of the Monster Hunter Stories 2 story will revolve around mysterious pits, which cause nearby monsters to become aggressive. Dubbed rage rays, it looks like a good chunk of the game’s story will revolve around this, as well as keeping your Rathalos out of trouble as the rest of the villagers scorn it for being a bad omen.

During the livestream, the developers also talked over some of the new features in the game, such as Genes and the Rite of Channeling. Genes are like the skills for your Monstie companion, with elements as well as attack types tied to them. Having matching Gene icons on the game’s grid will trigger a bingo effect, allowing you to get extra bonuses.
You’ll also be able to transfer genes between monsters via the new Rite of Channeling, giving monsters access to skills they couldn’t have had before. These include moves like the Fated Four from Monster Hunter Generations’ own signature moves, and can seemingly be passed to monsters with limited to no restrictions, as the developers showed an Arzuros loaded with all these moves.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones Review: Just You and Your Music

The Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones are the latest headwear from Sony which prioritize, well, canceling out noise.

Their primary purpose is to enhance your music listening however they can make for decent gaming headphones as well. They’re simply good at providing you with some quiet time and to that end, they succeed. Comfort is the key word here as The WH-1000XM5 is incredibly comfortable with a smooth sound quality perfect for listening to some tunes after a long day.

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

Design
The Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones come in two different colors: black and silver. We were able to get the silver model. The headphones have a sleek high-class feel, even the carrying case that comes with the headphones feels really classy. They are pretty big though, meaning that if you were to go out with the headphones, you will probably need a backpack if you don’t want to have them dangling off your neck.
They’re a lot lighter than a lot of gaming headsets and can get pretty comfortable with long-term usage since they don’t put too much pressure on your head with their super cushy earcups. Unfortunately, the headband can also feel thin and flimsy, which makes me concerned with the long-term usage of the set.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

On the left earcup, there are two buttons and a 3.5mm headphone jack, one of the buttons is the power/BlueTooth pairing button, and the other one is the switch between Ambient Noise Mode (AMB) and Noise Cancelling Mode (NC).

On the right earcup, from what’s visible, there is a USB Type-C charging port. But the earcup itself has a touch control in it, so you can just tap using one finger or do whatever you want to it to control your phone, make actions like play/pause or pick up a call. If you tap the right earcup with 3 fingers or more in NC mode, you can temporarily switch to AMB which allows you to hear others with ease.
While this is helpful it can also be a little annoying since when lying down or adjusting the headphones I often found myself hitting the touch controls by accident and turning off my music when I didn’t mean to.
The earcup can rotate for approximately 100 degrees, with 90 degrees facing outward and 10 degrees facing inward. I’m not sure if this is the market standard design as Razer also makes them like this, but it doesn’t make sense to me. If the headphones are dangling from your neck, the earcup faces outward which feels weird. You’d think people would want them to face inwards so that the insides aren’t exposed and are less likely to get damaged.

The box also comes with a 3.5mm jack cable for those who prefer a wired connection, and a far too short charging cable, barely longer than a 15cm ruler, making it barely usable since you likely won’t be able to reach your phone while it’s charging.
Functionality

A great feature of the Sony WH-1000XM5 is that they provide a 3.5mm headphone jack, in addition to the Bluetooth connection. It gives users options in whether they’d prefer wired or wireless headphones.
The Bluetooth took a little while to pair up with my phone. I had to hold onto the power button for an excessive amount of time before my phone would connect to them, but after the initial setup, it was mostly smooth sailing.
When you first pair the headphones up, they will ask you to install their special software which has a lot of different features you can play around with. There’s an Adaptive Sound Control that detects your location and automatically changes your headphone settings from afar. The settings also let you customize the function of buttons on the headphones, a really good thing to have on a device with minimal button design.
Audio Quality

Speaking from a guy who only used cheap in-ear headphones and the occasional Razer headset, this is a HUGE step upward in terms of the audio quality. The headphones provide a good range of sound, and the fact that the headphones completely cover your ear creates an almost surround sound feeling, keeping you more immersed in whatever you’re listening to.
For songs, in particular, the headphones really give the song quality some punch. You can more clearly hear each individual sound component making up the song. I used the headphones to listen to some Gorillaz and the Guilty Gear Strive soundtrack and I could practically feel the percussions softly patting on my ear drums. It was really relaxing and helped me get into the song more.
As for the noise canceling part, it’s great. If you turn on the NC mode, you will hear nothing other than human speaking frequency. It works extremely well, even with a lot of cars passing making loud noises, and with music playing in the back, you will hear nothing.
The microphone on the Sony WH-1000XM5 is really good as well. As previously stated, you will hear nothing but people speaking, and vice versa for the people you’re speaking with.
Battery Life
The headphone can last approximately 30 hours according to the official website. I’ve only charged them once since I’ve gotten them, and despite using the headphones on several occasions, the headphones are still sitting at 80% battery. As long as you don’t have them on for an entire day, they’ll last you for a really long time.
Verdict

The Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones do a really good job at playing sweet melodies while leaving the rest of the world in silence. Once you have them on and turn on the NC, you’ll hear nothing except the very faint volume of people speaking on a slightly loud volume. With music on? You’re not going to be able to hear anything other than the music coming out of your headphones.
The audio quality of the headphones is also really good, as it manages to make each part of the music ring out and the different range of sounds do well to complement each other.
They’re not exactly gaming headphones but if you’re looking for a comfy pair of noise-canceling headphones that can immerse you in whatever you’re watching/playing, the Sony WH-1000XM5 will do the job.

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa To Target Mobile Games AND Possible 3DS Successor!

On a recent interview with the new Nintendo president, Shuntaro Furukawa, with Kyoto Shimbun, he has revealed the company’s current target market and what they are looking forward to for the future of the company. With the rising of the mobile gaming industry, Nintendo will be following suit to focus on the blooming mobile market. Since then, Nintendo has already released a couple of games for the mobile market like Fire Emblem Heroes, Super Mario Run and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

For Nintendo to really make it a primary source of revenue, Nintendo’s mobile games will have to make at least 100 billion yet in sales. Though it may seem difficult to reach such a high target, Furukawa believes that such a challenge is needed for Nintendo’s mobile game business with the rise of market of mobile gaming.

With Nintendo known for their portable devices, it has been 6 years since the release of Nintendo 3DS (2011) and Nintendo 3DS XL (2012) and we have yet to see a new Nintendo portable (the Nintendo Switch doesn’t really count as a portable console, it’s a solid console with portable capability). However, Furukawa did mention that there might be a direct successor to the Nintendo 3DS – ‘considering every possibility’.

SINoALICE Double Trouble banner adds two hot new characters

With the Slime crossover event still ongoing, Square Enix is turning up the heat with the new Double Trouble banner in SINoALICE. This new banner will go live after the maintenance later today.

The Double Trouble grimoire adds the scantily clad Dorothy/Minstrel and Little Mermaid/Crusher to SINoALICE. Obtaining the SR instrument Ukelele of Curiosity for the first time unlocks Dorothy/Minstrel. Likewise, players can get Little Mermaid/Crusher by pulling the SR heavy weapon Iron Ball of Misery. Since the Slime collab did not introduce characters of these two classes, this is great news to Minstrel and Crusher mains.

Sen Sen Sen Ki – SEGA’s Upcoming Mobile TCG!

Just a couple of days ago, Sega launched a new teaser site with a countdown on it. The countdown eventually ended and it revealed a new mobile TCG called Sen Sen Sen Ki! This is a brand new IP by SEGA and it looks like a pretty interesting take by them.

Check out their gameplay/guide video teaser below:

As seen in the trailer, the game is a TCG with 3D character models on a battleground. This might be a reminder of games like Hearthstone or Yu-Gi-Oh card battles but not as much. Once you’ve laid a character on the field, players need to make their strategic moves carefully as it uses the limited number of SP given. Players will need to get the characters to cross the “bridge” and deal damage to the castle. Each player has a health of 24 points and whoever that drops to 0 will lose.

SInce we haven’t had an official announcement from Razer, we don’t have any details on pricing or availability of this or other Razer X BAPE apparel.
This is the second time JJ Lin has been in the public eye this week, after he was also featured in the PS5 Asia Launch Celebration last week. During the livestream, he unboxed the PS5, with images from the stream being used in a lot of the PS5’s marketing.
BAPE produces all kinds of apparel, from T-Shirts, Jeans to even Backpacks and scarves. There’s not much point in speculating since Razer will probably announce the lineup and availability soon.

Gabriel Lan was formerly a member of the Nova Corps, before eagerly accepting an offer from the cosmic entity, Galactus, to become his herald. Wielding the immense power of the Power Cosmic and the Bow of Gabriel, Air-Walker dutifully serves Galactus, terraforming worlds for his master, and crushing all who oppose him.

His mechanics are given as follows:

Air-Walker’s core focus is building up his unique Dark Tide Debuffs on the Opponent. These Debuffs hamper the Opponent’s Block Proficiency, and cause them to take damage while they’re affected by an Armor Break. Air-Walker applies both Dark Tide and Armor Breaks through his Special Attacks, and applies even more for each Buff on him. Once enough Dark Tide is applied to the Opponent, they are converted into a permanent Passive, which also powers up Air-Walker’s other abilities. To aid Air-Walker in all of this, he has a Power Cosmic Buff, which grants him Attack and Power, and he gains additional Power Cosmic every time he wins a fight.
Learn more about him through his champion spotlight on the official website.

Who you’re gonna call? The XCOM: Chimera Squad Review

In the aftermath of XCOM 2, comes XCOM: Chimera Squad. The humans have won the war, the Elders have fled, and their alien subordinates are left behind. These two will have to learn to coexist, to maintain this tenuous peace. In City 31, a XCOM Reclamation Agency has been sent to support the city. Your eclectic crew will have their own backstories for you to learn, while they slowly and awkwardly learn to communicate with each other while under your command.

Welcome back, Commander

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

While in previous XCOM games, you could recruit a lot of randoms whom you slowly grow, Chimera Squad gives you 11 unique agents, with the customization coming from their builds. “Breach” is new to this game, where you can choose where to place your units and possibly even take out the enemy before the round starts proper. It’s not strictly turn-based now either, where instead of you and the opponent taking turns, all units will be on a timeline where multiple of your or the enemy’s units can move one after the other.
Chimera Squad is more localized, where you only take care of City 31 with its 9 districts. You’ll need to manage their “unrest” levels, which you can reduce by running various missions. Should district unrest reach level 5, City 31 will gain a rank in anarchy. At maximum anarchy, that’s a game over.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You can choose to conduct Investigations, which may then trigger “Dark Events” later in the game. These events are pretty varied, with some that might increase enemy count in missions, or provide buffs to them. As you clear more investigations, it will become easier for Unrest and Anarchy to rise.

You’ll have to manage three resources: Elerium, Intel and Credits. Every in-game Friday, the XCOM Reclamation Agency will receive their salary, affected by the types of field teams you have in each district. Elerium is your main material for research, Intel is for recruiting and upgrading field teams as well as for Scavenger Market spending, while Credits is for utility gear and other upgrades.
Getting down to the logistics
There are 11 Agents that you can choose from, including the first 4 you get. You’ll be able to recruit 4 more from this pool, making it a total of 8 Agents in the agency – namely, there will be 3 you cannot pick. Recruited Agents cannot be swapped or fired, so you’ll need to be sure you want them. As mentioned, all of them will have their unique skill sets, with more skills unlocking on levelling up. Promotion can open up a choice of skill for these Agents, which once picked, cannot be changed.

Agent levels go as follows:

Deputy Agent
Field Agent (2 skills, pick one)
Special Agent  (unlocks training)
Senior Agent (2 skills, pick one)
Principal Agent (unlocks training)

Additional training can be provided to Agents, giving them stat bonuses for the first 2 sessions and a passive skill on the third and final one.

Research will be done in the Assembly, to unlock more stuff to buy or for squad wide upgrades. Most research don’t require an Agent, but if you do assign one, the process goes by faster.

Agents may also be dispatched to Spec Ops, which may take days to finish. A higher level agent will be able to take on harder tasks, from getting a free field team or reducing unrest for the entire city.
Guns out for the squad
Each mission will have 1 to 3 encounters, and each encounter will have a Breach phase. There will be both normal breach points – accessible by any Agent – and special breach points that will require special breaching items. There will be some agents who can access the latter without items.
Every breach point will show the aggressiveness level of enemies. Different agents at different entry points may also provide buffs or inflict debuffs onto them. Naturally, some buffs work better with some Agents, opening up some creative combos. Watchtower can gain a Guardian passive where Overwatch will always trigger so long she has ammo, so find a good spot and fire away! An Agent like Zephyr uses her fists as her weapon, thus not requiring reloads and she packs debuffs like Quick Disable – removes all bullets – and Delayed Snare – roots a unit – for you to play around.

During a Breach, Agents will be able to fire at the enemy, or activate character specific actions. The latter are typically one time use per mission, so you’ll need to plan for their use. Aggressive enemies (in red) will shoot back during a breach, alerted enemies (in orange) will take defensive positions or actions, while surprised enemies (in green) usually do nothing.

All remaining HP will be carried over to the next encounter. Depending on your choices before starting the game, you may be able to heal to full, half HP or none at all when an encounter ends with a low health Agent. The order of Agents picked during a Breach will also determine their starting position in the timeline, so more consideration will also be required here.
Utility items, such as frag grenades, do not use up your action unlike the regular XCOM games, but it does remove it for the remainder of the mission. Other utility items may be able to ignore the timeline, granting extra action points to allies. Some abilities will also be capable of such a feat.
There are some variety of mission types:

Clear the area (kill or subdue all enemies)
Specific item objectives – destroy, steal, etc.
Escort or rescue missions

These tend to happen more frequently, and can get really annoying for those who dislike this mission type

Depending on difficulty level, the rescue missions could get frantic with each unit having different turn orders on the timeline.
Mission accomplished
Story-wise, Chimera Squad is fairly short, with 4 acts that could take you an average of 10 to 15 hours playtime. With the $10 USD launch price and $20 USD price from 1 May onwards, it’s not too bad a deal. Early game hell is a staple, but it’ll start easing up once you have your upgrades, training and items in place.
These guys will replace a team member who falls unconscious in a battle (not those Killed In Action).
If you’ve wanted to have a Muton or Viper as your ally from the original games, you get to play around with them here, also retaining some of the abilities of their race you’ve come to expect in Chimera Squad. The Breach and Timeline systems add that extra spice and difficulty to missions, since you can no longer guarantee your turn to come. That new recruit is going to be a gamble to train to start. The maps feel a little small, and with everyone carrying weapons, even cover isn’t going to be safe for the little guy.
As a flavour point, your “alien” recruits like Torge, Axion and Verge are able to speak perfect English, while Zephyr has a British accent, as Advents – new humanoids – created by the Elders. Meanwhile, alien enemies like Archon, Andromedon or Muton Berserker retain their XCOM 2 traits, speaking in their alien language. It shouldn’t be a dealbreaker, but maybe requires a bit more suspension of disbelief. At any rate, the trivia you can find in the game in regards to our new roommates can be quite enlightening or funny – did you know sectoids can’t eat things like chicken eggs, hotdogs or burgers? – so maybe something for the lore enthusiast.
Find our tips to Breach here, and our interview with lead designer Mark Nauta here.

Demon Slayer and Granblue Fantasy collaboration announced

Dropping the news seemingly out of nowhere, Granblue Fantasy announced that its December collaboration event will be with Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba. The teaser can be seen via their official Twitter:

Art for Tanjiro Kamada, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira have been revealed, though it’s not known if they will be a trio unit or they will be separate available characters. Collaboration characters have lately all been SSR rarity since the Touken Ranbu collaboration back in 2017, with SR rarity collaboration characters becoming uncommon or phased out. Besides the trio, another character has also been teased:

Going by the silhouette, it should be none other than Kyojuro Rengoku. Considering the release of the Mugen Train movie in Japan in October, the storyline may be spun off that and explains the featured characters as well. For the Granblue side of things, Medusa and Nezha appear to be part of the collab as well, though of course we won’t know in what capacity yet.
Going by previous trends, it’s likely Nezuko will be included as a summon rather than a playable character. In any case, the Granblue Fantasy Fes livestream will also be in December when the Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba collab begins, so expect more news on that 11 to 13 December.

Meet Tinker, the FGC Grandma Who Stole Everyone’s Hearts In UMvC3

This week’s CEO fighting game tournament kicked off, being the first in-person tournament open to the public and introducing a new star of the FGC – Tinker, also referred to as the FGC Grandma.

(Tinker’s match starts at around the 31-minute mark).

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

Tinker, real name Kimberley Cutchins, and her husband both showed up for the tournament, with one of Tinker’s matches in pools making it to the livestream, where the FGC crowd fell in love with the wholesomeness of someone old enough to be their grandma competing in one of the most beloved fighting games of all time, possibly only behind Marvel Vs Capcom 2.
Tinker debuted on the scene with a team makeup of Sentinel, MODOK and Spider-Man, with Spider-Man acting as her anchor. At the end of the tournament, she was ranked 97th thanks to her 1-2 record (her first opponent DQ-ed).

While she never made it out of pools, there’s no doubt the FGC loves a good underdog story. During the live event, you could hear the crowd cheering for Tinker, even jokingly booing her opponent, RamBam.
You could even hear the loud screams of the cloud proclaiming “No!!” every time she got hit, as RamBam played some great Marvel even in the face of laughably stiff opposition from the crowd.
“The worst part is [RamBam] is one of the nicest guys on the planet”, says one of the commentators as the camera cuts to him looking awfully distraught for someone who just won their first game.
Image credit: Tong Lee’s twitter
Even Tong Lee, the Chief of Staff and Tournament Organizer at CEO took a photo with Tinker, congratulating her on coming out to the tournament and competing.
“Getting to watch her play made me so happy that it brought me to tears. Our community is so great. I love Marvel so much. I hope we never have to stop playing”, he said in a tweet.
A Good Underdog
Part of the reason the fighting game community allows for moments like these is its focus on open tournaments. Unlike other esports which are per-invitation basis, the biggest fighting game tournaments in the world encourage anyone to join- and they mean anyone.
That combined with the streaming of Pools means everyone gets their 5 minutes of fame- allowing for even more heartwarming stories like this one to be told.
Of course, credit needs to be given to RamBam too- despite pressure from the crowd, he respected his opponent enough to play at full force. He even finishes the final game with a perfect, playing an excellent Zero.

Not too sure what to make about this, but if I think I have enough Pidgeys for now. I think many players would still prefer a proper tracking app rather than this, though.

Even so, Pokémon GO seems to be doing quite fine, as analytic data from Newzoo shows that the app still earns roughly $2 million dollars a day.

We expect to see a spike once the game releases in South Korea and China, and if they include a functional tracking app, I’m sure the numbers will shoot up again.

Knights in the Nightmare is getting a remaster for Switch, iOS and Android

Knights in the Nightmare, a DS and PSP title which released back in the late 2000s, is getting revived thanks to a new remaster. This time around, the remaster will be for the Switch and even iOS and Android for mobile devices.

Here is the English trailer of the game back in 2009:

Besides the platforms and the 2021 release window, not much is known about the remaster. An English version, while still unconfirmed, is also very likely to happen. Atlus, famous for its Persona and Shin Megami Tensei titles, published the game in the west.
Knights in the Nightmare originally released in Japan back on September 25, 2008 for the DS, followed by a North American release a year later on June 3, 2009. The PSP version launched on April 22, 2010 in Japan. The North American PSP release came out on November 9, 2010.
Knights in the Nightmare is a strategy bullet hell game that puts players in the role of a wisp who summons the souls of fallen knights to do battle against monsters.
While a mobile release would mean a greater audience, the big question remains—would Knights in the Nightmare Remaster be a free-to-play or pay-to-play app? Follow Sting Entertainment’s Twitter account to follow the game’s development.

Konosuba Fantastic Days pre-registration date for global teased

The pre-registration for the global release of Konosuba Fantastic Days has apparently been teased for 6 July. The pre-registration date is noted in the description on the TapTap page of Konosuba Fantastic Days global version. The official Twitter has also teased something coming up during the weekend, so fans might want to keep their eyes peeled about further developments. Nexon is publishing the global version of the game, with a release supposed to come sometime in 2021, which they have assured as such through their Twitter.

The original Japanese requires a VPN to access, so the global version is much welcome for the general public, besides the language barrier. You can read about our initial impressions of the Japanese release here. The Japanese side also acknowledged the fact that many people outside of the country wished to play the game, and hopefully that day will come sooner rather than later. In any case, stay tuned and watch out on the official channels for all the milestone rewards that will inevitably be announced.
