F1 23 Has Some Of The Best Handling In The Series, But It Comes At A Cost

It’s always a little hard to do sports game reviews. If you’re a casual fan, you should probably just be happy that a brand like F1 is continuing to make racing games, letting you pretend to be your favorite drivers of the season (admittedly, at a slightly lower skill level). If you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll demand every ounce of information as to why a cluster of pixels has a non-canon amount of handling, or acceleration, upset that maybe it’s more fun if the cars are just a little cartoony.

EA Sports F1 23 is a perfectly acceptable entry in the F1 series of racers. Just like the FIFA games, it provides a pretty comprehensive package of every possible way you might enjoy your race cars.

But it’s the details that make F1 23 such an enticing entry in the series- while many seasonal releases are often incremental in their changes, F1 23 has them where they count- creating a truly welcoming experience for anyone looking for the thrill of expensive machinery breaking speed limits.
Handle Like A Dream

The most important thing in any racing game is the handling, and F1 23 thankfully gets that. Your machines handle really well, allowing you to make tight terms simply not possible if you were grounded by things like a fear for your own life.

I especially like how they’ve applied inertia to the game- making too sharp a turn is absolutely a threat, and your car is absolutely prone to spinning out just like some of the best teams in F1. It’s cartoony in much the same way that F1 cars themselves feel cartoony, in that there’s way more power going through this machines than your standard street-legal vehicles.
It’s a lot of really nerdy details, and I think that’s probably its strongest recommendation point as a result- if you’re an F1 fan, there’s no reason for you to not want tiny things having an effect on your handling experience. There’s things like Tyre Grip and Aerodynamic Grip, as well as track conditions to worry about,  making it pretty close to a genuine experience.
That being said, it’s not like you can only enjoy this experience with an expensive steering rig. F1 23 also debuts the new Precision Drive technology, which really goes a long way to not having you feel like playing on pad is a lesser experience. As someone without a rig at home, it’s surprising how responsive the game feels on controller- you’re no longer stuck in the land of muddy stick inputs, and you actually feel like doing cool, technical maneuvers is possible.
True To TV Experience
There’s also quite a bit to commend on the presentation of the game as well. F1 23 has quite a bit of UI changes made to more closely resemble the F1 you’d see on Race Day. I especially like seeing the drivers’ tiny hands go from the cockpit view- it’s such a nice little touch that speaks to the realism of the visuals.
Image Credit: EA
Of course, the most realistic thing they added isn’t visual at all. Red Flags make their return to the EA Sports F1 series, allowing you to ruin entire races by driving too dangerously. It’s interesting because it basically forces you to play this game like a real F1 race. Vehicular combat isn’t tolerated, and making the race too unsafe will have you receive multiple warnings, running the risk of having the race invalidated.
Personally, I’m a pretty big fan of red flags. One of the most fun things of being reckless is watching squares react to it, so getting told off by the game for cutting too many corners in bad weather is a good way to live that fantasy. On a more critical level, it’s also a good way to enforce the game’s ruleset- you’re meant to play like you’re a millionaire strapped to a ground rocket, and that means having some degree of self-preservation.
Welcome To F1 World
Image Credit: EA
F1 23 also has a consolidated hub for its main modes now, titled F1 World. It’s the live-service center not unlike Gran Turismo 7, for better or worse. On one hand, this is where you can upgrade your main car for single and multiplayer modes, being able to improve its handling and acceleration to your heart’s content.
On the other, it’s also where the less savory part of the game lies. Upgrades can be earned for free, but you can have that grind negated with a little bit of that almighty dollar. In a sense it’s a little too realistic for F1- people willing to spend money can instantly get advantages over racers who don’t- but competitive yet frugal players are sure to dislike yet another racing game essentially paywalling early success.
More Ways To Play
Image Credit: EA
If you’re into the drama of F1, you’ll naturally want to check out Braking Point. Just like the career modes of the FIFA games, Braking Point is good for players who want that feeling of living their own racing legend. Interestingly, it takes place after the previous game’s story mode- seeing you now teamed up with your rival from the previous Braking Point.
It’s fun enough to be its own mode, but definitely only for people who enjoy the decision-making process. As someone who just likes hitting the track, Braking Point can be a bit of a bore, but it really comes down to personal taste.
There’s also of course the MyTeam mode, letting you play as your favorite drivers. Like any sports game their stats are based on their most recent performances, so anyone hoping for that Verstappen nerf would probably be better off waiting for another year.
Closing Thoughts
Image Credit: EA
If you like fast cars and good driving, it’s probably in your best interest to check out F1 23. It’s like a television experience that you can control, and really brings out the thrill of driving fast cars.
That being said, if you’re gonna commit to the game’s live service ask, it’s going to be a little frustrating. Considering how much this game pushes upgrading your car, it’s easy to burn yourself out knowing you’re never going to outperform someone with a generous credit card limit.
Still, if you ignore the online circuit, there’s plenty of fun to be had. F1 23 is still incredibly skill-based, relying on prep work, execution, and, unfortunately, budget. Which might make it the most realistic F1 game to date.

GamerBraves Newsletter vol. 50 – No, Nintendo (or any other company) Can’t Make Sequels To Every Game You Want

Last week, a fan bought 40K USD worth of stock in Nintendo simply so he could attend a shareholder meeting and ask them why there hasn’t been a new F-Zero sequel, alongside new sequels to Baten Kaitos, Wario Land, The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls, Trade & Battle: Card Hero and Chōsōjū Mecha MG.

It’s a fair point. With all the Switch money Nintendo is accumulating, why don’t they take the opportunity to bring some old, more obscure IPs back?

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa however responded back with a pretty simple but poignant answer: “It is realistically difficult to develop new titles and remakes, including sequels, for every Nintendo game that people request, but we are very grateful and appreciate the expectations our fans have for our games,”.
It is a response that probably made many Nintendo fans sad, perhaps even angry, but given the question, it was the most honest, direct, and professional answer that he could have given and while I have a number of problems with Nintendo, I respect Mr. Furukawa for his response. The truth is that game companies can’t make sequels for every game, nor do they owe them to fans. If you’d like to know more about why that is, subscribe to our newsletter.

PC MMORPG Dark Eden To Have A Mobile Version Coming Soon!

Dark Eden is a PC MMORPG that was released on Steam back in 2016. The game by SoftOn Entertainment adopts a classic look of MMORPG that’s alike from the 2000s. With the recent popularity of MMORPGs on mobile, Dark Eden is also hopping onto the bandwagon, calling it Dark Eden M. However this time, the game developed by PlayWorks will be published by Entermate.

The game still follows the lore of the PC version but only two races were mentioned – the Vampires and Slayers. The Ousters race was not seen at the Cafe Naver site. Aside from that, the graphics have also been revamped. Instead of the 2000s look, the game will have high-definition graphics like most RPGs are with the Unity Engine. There’s not much info released yet  but the game should still be PvP-centric just like the PC version.

PGA TOUR 2K23 Preview – A Caper Around the Tutorial and Topgolf

PGA TOUR 2K23 is over that green horizon, arriving 14 October for all Standard owners. The non-golfer is once again preparing to tee off and attempt some semblance of competency with all the relevant assist options enabled where possible. You’ll need to wait on for the look at the MyCareer tracks, so for now, let’s take a little time off for something more relaxing.

TRIMMING THE GRASS
It’s off to the races, after I tweak the settings. On starting up, you get to pick the control schemes between Mouse and Keyboard, or 3 Click Controls. I opted for 3 Click, which is a slight misnomer as you still do use the keyboard for some menuing. It is a change from the previous time I tried a PGA game, though, wherein I had to actually physically pull back the mouse for more awkward control schemes.

For difficulty, there are the Beginner, Amateur and Pro options with Pro getting marked as the “expected matchmaking difficulty. This can be further tweaked through the settings menu which will affect the EXP multiplier.

TOUCHING THE GRASS
One thing that genuinely astonishes me – in a good way – is the soundtrack. I’m sure most people wouldn’t expect a “mere golf game” to have these tracks I feel like I would expect more of a dance club, or those royalty free playlists you have in-between streams. By all means, you should definitely give these bops a listen to.
The menus are quite clean, with them possibly even giving you way too much information – at least for a greenhorn. I’m pretty sure the more seasoned golfers will much appreciate the additional icons and indicators to help them line up that perfect shot. The equipment has been rendered in loving detail, though I can’t say I feel the same for the human models which, while fine, do come off as a little stiff.
PONDERING THE GRASS
I wonder if it’s because of the different control scheme that i prefer using, but the tutorials this time feel much easier to follow. John McCarthy reprises his role to provide the commentary, providing the encouraging word here and there as I mostly ace the tutorial. You can quit and revisit these basics at any time.

You don’t “really” need the tutorial for Topgolf, which is akin to a party game. You can play locally with up to 3 other players, or fill the slots by inviting in friends or matchmaking online. Each person has 10 shots to try score as many points as possible.
You need to land the ball into the targets you see on the field. The further the target is, and the closer to its center you get, the more points you can earn. A highlighted target nets you 2x points, and doing so will grant you a 3x multiplier for the next shot. I didn’t play it online or with other friends, just taking my own sweet time solo.

There aren’t many settings to tweak prior to a Topgolf game at this point, with options only to adjust the turn order, or messing with the wind speed and direction. Though I did have the main game set to Beginner difficulty, it doesn’t apply here. You will need to switch clubs and adjust the power for yourself to actually try scoring successfully.
Handily enough, you can earn some EXP towards your overall progression so long you’re online.
LYING ON THE GRASS
Topgolf is no mini golf, of course. I do like it as an option for some more simple golf-related mini game since it still works in some of the deeper mechanics you get from the full game itself. It’s definitely got a much, much lower barrier of entry to get non-golfers to try out something tangentially related to golf.
I’ll be working through the meat of the myCareer stuff in the mean time, so see you next time!

Dubbed Fire Force: Battle for the Flame Road, it’s a side-scrolling action game that recreates the aesthetics of the ending animation of the second season of the anime. Players will be able to manipulate Shinra Kusakabe or Arthur Boyle to battle against the Infernals under the assistance of the Special Fire Force Company 8. As the game progresses, you can pick up different items to attack the enemies or recover your HP. The final score is based on the numbers of Infernals you defeat and the quest-clearing time. While it does not appear defunct as yet, its ratings on the Apple App Store does not bode well for it.

Ni No Kuni: Cross World was released on May 25th, 2022, soon after launch though, it was found that publisher Netmarble was implementing crypto currency and NFTs into the game.

And now the world of Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds is currently infested with bots flooding the game. It’s quite the sight to see, that is if you can actually get into the game which is now plagued with log-in queues making it near impossible to connect to the server.

As you can imagine neither of these factors is particularly popular among the game’s player base, which can be seen when looking at all the 1-2 star reviews on the Cross World Google Play Store Page: “Beautiful, UNPLAYABLE game!” says Shannon Marberry. “I love the storyline and the graphics but the game has quickly become impossible to access due to the number of bots on the server. Takes 10+ minutes in a queue just to open the game and I have seen zero communication from Netmarble on what they are doing about this. Also, the territe/crypto aspects which are not available in other versions are predatory and annoying but I could overlook that and enjoy the game if not for all the bots! It’s such a shame.”

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Review – Reuniting With Zack

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is an HD remaster of the original Crisis Core for the PSP. The game acts as a prequel to both the original Final Fantasy VII (FFVII) and Final Fantasy VII Remake, presenting the story of Zack, a minor but important character from the original title, as well as depicts the tragic events that would lead to the former title, including the downfall of the once celebrated soldier Sephiroth.

Crisis Core Reunion is more or less the same game as the original and that means that it comes with a few of the same shortcomings of the original, like a couple of odd story beats and the rather hit-or-miss DMW wave. That being said, Crisis Core makes up for these shortcomings with a fun story, a loveable main character, and a great attempt at action RPG gameplay. If you enjoyed Final Fantasy VII Remake, then Reunion should be your next stop.

Crisis on Midgard

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion stars Zack Fair, a member of the Shinra military group SOLDIER who dreams of gaining a first-class rank like his mentor Angeal. When another SOLDIER named Genesis leads a rebellion against the company, Zack will have to work alongside the greatest member of the division, Sephiroth to put a stop to them. However, in doing so they learn more than a few things about the dark past of Shinra that will change the course of history for all involved.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The game is split into ten chapters, totaling around 10-15 hours of playtime. While you don’t have to play FFVII or Remake to understand Crisis Core, I would highly recommend it. The game is clearly made with the previous title in mind and spoils many of the larger twists of VII’s world. Certain events and foreshadowing later in the game just won’t hit as hard if you don’t know what happens in FFVII.
The most noticeable aspect of the remaster in particular is the new visuals. All of the assets in Reunion were remade from the ground up to look more in line with FFVII Remake and their heroes. Zack and Cloud are prettier than ever with more detailed models that really bring them to life right down to the pores on their cheeks. The settings and areas have likewise received quite the glow-up, from the decrepit slums of Sector Five to the sinister halls of the Shinra labs.
Reuniting With Zack

Brightening up those sinister labs is our hero Zack, perhaps one of the most fun protagonists in the series. He’s upbeat, approachable, and raring for adventure. The dude’s constant energy is infectious, making him the kind of guy anyone would want to be friends with and you can see why Cloud and other characters take to him so quickly. It also makes it all the sadder when the game continues on and Zack’s idealism is put to the test. He’s a guy you want to see succeed even when the odds are stacked against him.
I also really liked what they did with Sephiroth. This is the game that depicts his fall from grace but at the start of the game, he’s actually pretty reasonable and even sympathetic. He’s aloof but it’s clear that he takes his role as a soldier seriously and cares for his allies. His actual transition into an evil mama’s boy is a little too abrupt but it’s still interesting seeing him change and slide into insanity.
An Awkward Genesis

This however takes us to our main villain Genesis, voiced by and modeled after Japanese 2000s musical sensation Gackt. I’m convinced anytime people accuse Final Fantasy characters of being “emo”, mellow dramatic pretty boys, they’re referring to this guy. Not only does most of his screentime consist of self-indulgent whining but he’s obsessed with this poem called Loveless and projects it onto his own life and other characters. Half of his lines are actual bad poetry and it’s just as cringe-inducing as it sounds.
He didn’t ruin the story by any means but every time Genesis popped up on the screen, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and wish he’d just hurry up his 7th-grade diary entries so we could get back to the cooler characters.
Slot Machine Combat

When it comes to gameplay, Crisis Core is a pretty standard action RPG. You have an attack button, a dodge button, and an item button. It’s a pretty easy system to manage and once you get good at dodging, even the largest mechs and bad-tempered ostriches won’t be able to touch you.
In order to use magic, you hold down the L1 shoulder button which brings up different spells to perform. These range from elemental attacks, to healing to physical moves that use up your AP bar. If you’ve ever played Kingdom Hearts, the magic system is a lot like that and does a good job of making combat more engaging, although certain spells may make the game a little too easy to cheese. Seriously if you’re ever in trouble, keeping your distance and spamming Blizzard on enemies’ heads will solve all your problems.
New magic moves are gained by equipping Materia orbs and you can get more of them by doing side missions. These can be accepted from save points and they usually take a few minutes at most making them a great way to grind for levels and items. As someone who’s never been much into sidequests, I enjoyed how quick and efficient they were which in turn made me want to do more of them to see what I’d get. Later on, you’re given the ability to fuse the Materia together to make stronger spells which just fueled my inner collector even further. By the end of the game, my Blizzard concussions could not be stopped.
The Digital Mind Wave

This is all spiced up by the more unique feature of the battle system, the Digital Mind Wave (DMW), aka a slot machine. Every time you attack, a slot machine will roll in the right-hand corner of the screen. Depending on the character it lands on, you can game access to different limit breaks, summons, and other buffs and power-ups.
It’s a divisive system as even your level-ups are tied to the DMW. Those looking for more strategy in your RPG may not appreciate having so many core mechanics be randomized as it leaves a lot of the battles to chance. There were definitely moments where I wished I could manually use a limit break and take out an enemy faster.

That being said, it’s not that much of a detriment. You still level up regularly enough and the various powerups were often a nice surprise that keeps battles feeling fun. Being able to suddenly someone Odin at the press of a button was very satisfying even if I didn’t when he’d show up next.
If anything the DMW skills are neat bonuses on top of the usual attack and dodge mechanics. Even if you are a couple of levels down, as long as you have a steady stock of potions and the dodge buttons you’ll do fine, even if it’d be nice to get the limit breaks more readily.
Crisis Core Reunion

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is a fantastic addition to the Final Fantasy VII Universe. It gives us greater insight into the journey of Zack, Sephiroth, Cloud, and many others leading up to the events of the beloved original and its praised remake.
While DMW may be a little hit or miss and Genesis could have done with some sharper prose, these don’t detract that much from the fun of hacking down Wutai troops and dropping the occasional limit break to sweeten the battle. It’s been great Zack, I’m glad we could reunite, even if only for a little while.

New Royal Blood trailer and details up

Royal Blood is by no means a new game, as it was first announced in November 2016 by Gamevil. After the lack of news for almost half a year, we are treated to a new trailer for the game in question.

Developed using the Unity enginer, Royal Blood is an MMORPG for Android and iOS.  According to its makers, the gameplay will be entirely event-driven as players will be able to experience a fully fleshed out campaign mode, a feature which is fairly rare for this genre.  Co-op gameplay will be procedurally-generated as players will traverse through an open world where they will be able to seamlessly transition from solo missions to multi-party raids.
