Magic: The Gathering Will Be Getting Junji Ito Art For Cards in Phyrexia: All Will Be One Set

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

Wizards of the Coast will be launching Phyrexia: All Will Be One, the latest set in Magic: The Gathering which includes cards with artwork by Junji Ito.
The third installment to the four-part Phyrexian storyline, Phyrexia: All Will Be One will see players experience the beauty and horror of the Phyrexians, Magic’s oldest, most memorable villains, and pursue their plans to take over the multiverse. The set contains 271 cards and is available to play on the tabletop from 10 February onwards.

Return of The Phyrexians

“For thousands of years, Phyrexians have sought to dominate other worlds by propagating their viral gift and turning every living thing into a biomechanical horror. Magic’s heroic Planeswalkers have always succeeded in stopping these invasions… until now! Phyrexia’s leader, The Mother of Machines Elesh Norn has developed a way to infiltrate the entire Multiverse, including the corruption of some of Magic’s most iconic and heroic characters”.
Both the Jumpstart and Commander product lines return for Phyrexia: All Will Be One with two Commander decks (one Phyrexian-themed and one themed after the heroic resistance against Phyrexia) and 10 new Jumpstart booster themes being introduced.

Phyrexia: All Will Be One focuses heavily on showcasing the horror of the Phyrexians and the set’s mechanics reflect that. Two new Phyrexian-themed mechanics are Corrupted, which rewards players who have opponents with three or more poison counters, and Oil Counters which show the spread of Phyrexia throughout the planes of the Multiverse. Fan favorite mechanic Proliferate returns with heavy synergy with both sets’ new mechanics.

Lastly, Poison Counters also make their return via the Toxic mechanic as a way for players to kill their opponents even faster than usual as they turn them to the side of Phyrexia.
Junji Ito and Japanese Horror

To capture the horror of the Phyrexians, the set features several different showcase treatments, all inspired by Japanese body horror. To start with, The Phyrexian leader Elesh Norn will receive her own special art treatment with a new Magic the Gathering card illustrated by popular Japanese manga artist Junji-Ito.

Altogether, 40 hand-selected cards feature Ichor showcase art, while the 10 Planeswalkers of the set are given a borderless manga-art treatment. 10 full-art basic lands convey the horror of the Phyrexians too with five infected mana symbol full art lands and five panorama full art lands.
Events

Prerelease events will be held from 3 February onwards to celebrate the expansion set’s launch, at WPN stores. The first series to be held in 2023, Prerelease games are a fun way for players, including new ones, to get acquainted with the set. It is the very first chance for players to play with cards from the brand-new set and crack open some packs with their friends. Players can check directly with the WPN stores for more details.

The 30th-anniversary celebrations continue for Magic with four more unique promo cards released in WPN stores to celebrate alongside the launch of Phyrexia: All Will Be One.

In Nightmare Review: The Camera’s The Real Nightmare

In Nightmare is the latest horror game from publisher Maximum Games that combines the spooky genre with adventure and puzzle mechanics. Horror is a hard genre to get right as there are so many ways to scare a person, do you fight, do you run away, do you include jumpscares. In Nightmare attempts to scare players with a disturbing storyline and dark imagery.

Focusing on the adventures of a boy named Bill, this game takes him through his bad memories and traumatic experiences in order to wake him up from a long nightmare. Whether it’s because of a divided family, often being bullied at school, to experiencing mental attacks, this is a horror game that gives a deeper perspective on the bad experiences a young child can go through and how he can deal with them.

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

The premise is quite interesting and has the potential to provide a memorable experience, but unfortunately In Nightmare ended up lacking in a few areas that prevented it from being a truly horrifying experience.
Storyline
As we explained above, the story of In Nightmare will take you on intense adventures through the dreams of a boy named Bill who is trying his best to wake up and get out. The initial opening provides very little clarity on the plot which can be confusing, but as the game progresses you will start to get a clearer picture of the story through various notes and cutscenes in several places.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

This is the kind of game that wishes to tell its story less through cutscenes and more through imagery and collecting important documents. These collectibles can also give you access to different routes depending on the type of documents such as diaries, medical reports, or school reports.
Because it affects what ending you obtain, you will be forced to repeat various levels in order to get the necessary documents if you want a certain ending. This adds a bit of replayability to the game, seeking out different documents for different endings.
Playing as Two Characters

During the course of the game, you can perform actions like running, hiding, jumping, and climbing, like with many other horror games. From the outside, the game seems standard, but there is one mechanism that makes it quite unique, namely how you can play as two different characters at once. Besides the main character Bill, another one who will be his companion is a glowing butterfly named Bikti.
You control Bill with the left analog, while Bikti with the right analog. Bill has the most dominant role in carrying out various tasks, but Bikti is no less important since they can help you navigate. For example, it can allow you to see what’s behind faraway places to find hidden items and routes. If that’s not enough, Bikti has some sort of sonar ability to detect the presence of enemies.

This mechanism can sound quite difficult to master right away, but we immediately found it interesting. It takes an otherwise standard single-player more and makes it more. interesting, especially because you are required to do more action and take advantage of all the available skills. This is especially true during the game’s puzzles and exploration which can be a lot of fun and take heavy advantage of the two character mechanic.
Along the way, you’ll also find cigars and consumable items as well as a kind of deer statue that allows you to strengthen Bill and Bikti. Some of these state upgrades include increasing stamina or special actions allowing Bill to can carry more items.
To increase the intensity of a horror game, there are several closets or special places to hide from enemies. The game, however, already gives some kind of indicator of the enemy’s presence and their distance from your character, so these hiding places are pretty useless and don’t have much of a reason to be in the game.
The True Nightmare
While the gameplay and story are decent, In Nightmare has a number of issues that exacerbate the existing experience and make it more tedious than it needed to be.
First, the game has a poor User Experience. For example, with the UI display, there are three main indicators that you need to pay attention to, namely the Stamina, Dream Essence and Consciousness bars, only the game doesn’t always display these three bars actively so you don’t know about the character’s status. This is made more annoying by the inconvenient slider item because you can’t use it directly without opening the menu and sorting it with the D-Pad.
It doesn’t stop there, the way the game determines the autosave point can be frustrating. It often places your character before the latest story cutscene and does not allow you to skip them.

But of all its shortcomings, the most frustrating is the game’s fixed camera angle which is messy and spoils the comfort of playing.
There are many horror games with this perspective classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill are the most well-known but here’s it’s not executed properly. There are many moments where I couldn’t see the character because he was blocked by objects or too close to the wall. Especially annoying when the game expects you to find an item in this state as well.

The worst part of our experience was the outdoor areas such as forests. There are lots of thick and branching trees which really made it too difficult to see any of the characters or do any exploration at all. This is especially inconvenient when your character is being chased by enemies too. In addition, I played the game on the PlayStation 5 yet the frame rate was still incredibly inconsistent, occasionally dropping when things got too hectic.
In Nightmare

The concept of this horror adventure game is quite unique, unfortunately In Nightmare fails to execute it properly. Controlling Bikti and Bill at the same time is pretty cool, with each character having a specific role to help each other but it’s let down by all the smaller details that make the experience more tedious.
Whether it’s from the bad User Experience, annoying camera, or the performance on the PS5 which is still less than optimal, all of these flaws made our experience more bitter than sweet.
If you’re looking for a new horror experience, this could satisfy you but it’s best to lower your expectations for the nightmare that lies ahead.

Pros
Cons

The puzzles are legitimately fun and enjoyable
The camera obstructs too much from view

Controlling 2 separate entities at once is pretty good
UX needed more work

Random FPS drop for an unknown reason

In Nightmare is available for PS4 and PS5

Cytus II appears to hint at Arknights collaboration

A combination of distinctive design and helpful copyright lines appears to confirm a future Cytus and Arknights collaboration. The original tweet doesn’t have much fanfare to it, which you can find on the official Rayark account here.

The copyright also looks to indicate that the Arknights collab will be for Cytus II. Going by previous collaboration characters that were made available for the rhythm game, you can expect the companion character and related pack to cost around $9.99 or your regional equivalent, with potentially 10 tracks playable. The characters also have related story lore for extra flavour that you can unlock when playing songs.
If you didn’t already get the idea or are unfamiliar with what Cytus II is, it’s a rhythm game that despite its name, works as a “prequel” to Cytus, which itself is also a rhythm game. The base Cytus II game is purchasable at $1.99 or your regional equivalent, with more in-app purchases for more characters and associated songs, and stories. Arknights, in the mean time, is basically a tower defense game.

With only one tweet to go off right now, we can’t tell when the collab will be made available. Considering the prolific discography of Arknights, you can wonder all you want about what songs will make the cut.

Microsoft’s Game Pass has come to Southeast Asia (SEA), bringing the region what is basically ‘Netflix for games.
For only RM15 a month (and 0.5RM for the preview), Malaysians will have access to over 100+ games from the Xbox Libary including brand new first-party games from day one.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Many local gamers are already singing the praises of the service. More games for less pay. However it does make one wonder, how will this affect gaming in the region, especially against the long-dominant rival of Xbox, Playstation.
It should be noted that this release is specifically for PC game pass, not Xbox. The Xbox brand has traditionally not done well in Southeast Asia, seeing sales far below Playstation, Nintendo, and especially PC and mobile.
Reasons for this are that Xbox consoles have not been officially released in the region (with the exception of Singapore) and the cultural dominance of Playstation and Nintendo. Japanese products and media are popular here, and as such, the two Japanese companies tend to be more popular the the ‘Halo Machine’.
Game Pass coming to SEA, however, has a chance to change this. The Netflix subscription service-style of media distribution has changed how people consume media. More people don’t want to spend money on multiple individual products. The idea of an all-in-one platform for all your media needs is incredibly attractive due to its practicality.

The business model has practically made Netflix a household name to the point where many of my own relatives can bring themselves to go through the “hassle” of driving to the cinema when they can watch the latest K-drama with the click of the button.
This is even more important when you consider that not everyone in Southeast Asia, has the same amount of spending revenue that those in say, the western world do. Not everyone can afford a $60-$70 PS5 game, especially if they can’t even find a PS5. Selling games at RM15 is likely a serious loss on Microsoft’s part however, what they lose then in cash, they gain in soft power.
It may just be PC but Game Pass could cause similar waves to Netflix in Southeast Asia. It opens up the region to the Xbox “ecosystem” allowing games first-party games to be easily accessed by a number of young impressionable gamers for an affordable price. If brands like Halo, Gears and, I suppose now, Elder Scrolls and Doom soar further in popularity, the way Squid Game and Stranger Things did, then Microsoft and by extension, Xbox take a larger part of the market.

Playstation has responded to game pass by announcing its own subscription plan, attempting to remodel Playstation Plus into a more Game Pass style model with multiple tiers including a top tier that will have classic PS1 and PS2 games. This will cost more than Game Pass with the highest tier going for RM309 a year.
Gamers have been skeptical though. PS Plus won’t include day-one games, it is more expensive, and SEA won’t even get all the features since streaming games (including the streaming exclusive PS3 games) won’t be available, although the price is less than in other regions to compensate.
That being said, PlayStation is still a more dominant gaming force in the region. Playstation first-party brands are popular and if a wide selection of Playstation titles are available on the PS Plus service, it could be a lot more meaningful for users who grew up with or wish to experience these older titles. It is important to remember that Game Pass may have a lot, but it doesn’t have everything. If you want God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, or a number of JRPGs, PlayStation is likely gonna serve you better.
Playstation CEO Jim Ryan has pointed out that those buying a subscription service likely to still buy external games. This means that perhaps not having day one new game won’t be too much of a detriment especially since, as of right now, PS5 first-party titles are far more popular than Xbox’s (we’re not gonna see those Bethesda, Activision investments for a while).
There is also the fact that the two are technically not even competing for the same market. Playstation wants to sell consoles, and Microsoft wants to sell a subscription service for PC (they’re not even using the word “Xbox” in the marketing).
Analyst Daniel Ahmad likewise says that the PS Plus remodel may be more about getting more money out of their existing user base than competing with Gamepass. They can very much coexist in their own corners of the industry despite what their fanboys think.

Ultimately though, the two are still competing in terms of what matters most across all media nowadays: content.
The way we consume video Games is changing. Whether console or PC, the hardware is becoming less important than the actual content and how it is delivered to the consumer. Some people prefer choosing and buying each game, but others may like paying a bit every month for a wide selection. Which one will become more popular will be seen in the coming years.
At the end of the day, it’s more competition which in turn means they’ll work harder to one-up each other, which will be good for everyone who wants more games and better platforms in general.

A rather unexpected release, Maruzensky’s offspring joins the cast as one of the newer characters who were released only after the game’s launch. Unlike her parent however, Sakura Chiyono O adopts the leader strategy, although a B aptitude in runner means you can easily take that route too.

That being said however, Sakura Chiyono O’s skillset heavily favours her to stick to her default strategy. Distances wise, you have a choice of running her in either mile or medium length tracks, although it is also possible to tweak her to run in short or long with some gene manipulation. The training bonus distribution does favour Sakura Chiyono O to be run on mile however, with the nice 10% boost for speed and wisdom, respectively. All in all, Sakura Chiyono O’s release does little to shake up the meta, but from a design perspective, she is right up there with the better looking girls. So if you play solely to fill your stable with cute horses, rolling for her is a no-brainer.

Minor spoilers for Mortal Kombat (2021): Despite the main plot of Mortal Komabt revolving around the titular Mortal Kopmbat tournament, the first film never actually saw the heroes attend it. Rather the film acted as sort of a prologue building up to it.
The sequel could see the actual Mortal Kombat tournament begin. The first movie also teased that the sequel would include Johnny Cage, one of the main characters of the series who was conspicuously absent from the first movie.
Mortal Kombat (2021) is available to watch on various streaming platforms including Apple TV, Youtube, and Google Play.
The latest game in the Mortal Kombat video game series, Mortal Kombat 11 is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Google Stadia.

Reference To A ‘PlayStation PC Launcher’ Have Been Discovered In Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC

References to a ‘Playstation PC launcher’ were found in the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man that launched last week on Steam (thanks VGC).

The Spider-Man files contain references to the phrases ‘PSNAccountLinked’ and ‘PSNLinkingEntitlements’. The suggests that perhaps Playstation is planning to set up its own game launcher similar to how Ubisoft, Rockstar, and Acitivsion-Blizzard have done.

As of this article PlayStation and Sony Computer Entertainment have not commented or confirmed anything about the files or the existence of a launcher.
In recent years many of PlayStation’s first-party exclusives have received ports to PC including Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War (2018), and Horizon Zero Dawn. All of these games have been released on both Steam and The Epic Game Store.

If PlayStation is making a PC launcher it does beg the question of if PlayStation’s PC games will be exclusive to the launcher. It would be unlikely considering the popularity of their games on Steam, not to mention, that even Microsoft releases Xbox games on Valve’s platform in addition to their own store.
It’s also possible that future PlayStation games will require users to log into their PlayStation Network accounts to start the game even if it’s bought on Steam.
Whether the PlayStation PC Launcher becomes reality or not, PlayStation does seem to have a vested interest in reaching out to PC gamers if their high-quality ports to Steam are anything to go by. Hopefully, we’ll see more of their games come to the platform in the future.
PlayStation Studious currently has eight games available via Steam for PC.

Yaoyorozu Quest releases first PV

Japan-based game developer Toylogic has just released the first PV for its upcoming location-based RPG Yaoyorozu Quest for the Android and iOS platforms.

Given the nature of the location-based setting of the game, players will have to physically move about in order to fully experience the game. According to the developer, the game can be played in any part of Japan that has a street. That aside, Yaoyorozu Quest features traditional RPG gameplay elements such as recruiting allies, traversing worlds and fighting enemies.

Yaoyorozu Quest is set in a world where the barrier between the living and the dead has been broken.  Humanity must band together in order to ward off the dark forces to save the world from eternal damnation. The concept sounds interesting for sure, although due to the nature of the game, the game is unlikely to make its way out of Japan.

The Chronological Timeline of The Metal Gear Games

The Metal Gear series seems to be making a comeback with a remake of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. Despite being the third game in the series, the developer has said the decided to remake it as it’s the first game chronologically in the Metal Gear Timeline.

The Metal Gear timeline, in general, is a confusing web of military politics, social commentary, and straight-up silly stuff, so we figured we’d take a look at how each main series game sits into the timeline.

The Big Boss Games
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004). Image Credit: Konami.
So the first thing to note about Metal Gear is that series mainly follows two central protagonists: Big Boss (originally called Naked Snake) and his clone son Solid Snake. While Solid Snake is the protagonist of the original Metal Gear games and Big Boss was actually the villain of the first two titles, several games have revisited Big Boss as prequels showing how he turned to villainy. In chronological order, these games consist of:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

The story of Metal Gear Solid 3 starts in 1964 during the cold war as CIA operative Naked Snake under the US military unit known as FOX, is sent into Russia to uncover a secret new weapon being built called the Shagohod. It’s a mobile tank that can shoot nukes, a weapon powerful enough to end the Cold War if completed. The machine is being protected by the Electrifying Colonel Volgen, a young sharpshooter named Ocelot, and The Boss, Snake’s old mentor and something of a surrogate mother figure.

The game ends with Snake killing The Boss, however, it’s revealed that the Philospher’s Legacy was essentially a large wad of bills. While her death does also prevent World War III, seeing his mentor sacrifice her life essentially so the government can get a payday disillusions Big Boss, leading him to wish to create a country for soldiers where they won’t be exploited or die meaningless deaths.
Creating Outer Heaven
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015). Image Credit: Konami.
While Portable Ops for the PSP can be considered something of a filler title seeing Big Boss undergo a new mission, the following games: Peace Walker and the Metal Gear Solid 5 duology are direct sequels to one another, showing Big Boss as he gradually builds his nation of soldiers, beats back terrorists and slowly founds a group called The Patriots that a secretly controlling the USA.
The important thing to note here is the twist in MGSV: The Phantom Pain that connects the Big Boss games and The Solid Snake titles. At the end of Ground Zeroes, Big Boss, and a medic are caught in a bomb blast attempting to rescue agent Paz Ortega from a military prison. After spending time hospitalized in a coma Big Boss wakes up and takes the name Venom Snake.
By the end of the game, however, it’s revealed that Venom Snake is actually not Big Boss but rather the medic that was caught in the bomb blast acting as a body double while the real Boss builds up his military nation.
The Classic Metal Gear Games
Metal Gear (1987). Image Credit: Konami.
And here we are at the first two games in the series that most fans probably haven’t played. These consist of the following:

Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

We should note that only the MSX pre-solid games are canon to the timeline. The faulty NES version of Metal Gear 1 and its sequel Snake’s Revenge are not.
The plot is fairly simple for the first outings. It’s discovered that a top-secret weapon is being made in a military fortress called “Outer Heaven” in South Africa, led by a “Legendary Soldier”. The Special Forces Unit Foxhound led by Big Boss sends their top agent Grey Fox but loses contact with him. With no choice, they then send rookie agent Solid Snake who finds Grey Fox and stop the machine from being made.
Of course, that top-secret weapon is really a Metal Gear and Outer Heaven’s leader is really Big Boss himself. Snake manages to destroy the former and kill the latter, blowing Outer Heaven up in the process. At the end of the game, however, he receives a message from Big Boss saying they’ll meet again. Of course, thanks to MGSV, we know that the Big Boss we kill in Metal Gear 1 isn’t the real Big Boss but rather Venom Snake, the last entry in the series bringing it back to the first.
Metal Gear 2
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990). Image Credit: Konami.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake shares a familiar similar plot to the first. A new military fortress has been set up called Zanzibarland complete with another Metal Gear. Snake is brought out of retirement by FOXHOUND’s new leader Roy Campbell to take care of it. Snake confronts the base leader, who this time is the real Big Boss, and manages to actually kill him.
It’s kinda amazing to think Big Boss is meant to be one of the big villains of the series but you barely notice because all the games with him that were released internationally have him as the main character.
The Solid Snake Games
Metal Gear Solid (1998). Image Credit: Konami.
Oh look, it’s the first few Metal Gear games people actually played. This brings us to the modern era of the Metal Gear timeline which starts with Solid Snake in the 3D, cinematic stealth games we expect from the franchise. The final games in the timeline are:

Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots

The first Metal Gear Solid which launched the series into critical acclaim intentionally follows a similar plot structure to the last two games. A group of terrorists has put a base, this time Shadow Moses Island, on lockdown and have acquired the use of Metal Gear Rex, the most powerful one yet. Snake is called out of retirement by Colonel Campbell to sort everything out.
The key difference is here Snake learns that he and the main antagonist Liquid Snake are both clones of Big Boss. This is also where we meet several important Metal Gear characters like Otacon, and Mei Ling, as well as antagonists like Ocelot, and Psycho Mantis.
MGS2 is a direct sequel to MGS1. It’s also the controversial game that tricked you into believing you’d be playing as Snake when you really spend most of the game playing as Raiden, a rookie operative who’s played through VR video game versions of the Shadow Moses Incident to be more like Snake and prepare him to infiltrate the Big Shell, that’s been taken over by more wacky terrorists including the recurring villain Ocelot who has now been possessed by MGS1’s villain Liquid Snake as grafting Liquid’s severed hand to his arm.
MGS2 is known for its complex meta-commentary, centering on the role players take in video games and Data collection in the internet age.
The Guns of The Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots (2008). Image Credit: Konami.
The final chapter of the Solid Snake titles and the Metal Gear Saga overall is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots originally launched and still trapped on the PS3.
Taking place five years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 2, the world economy is being fueled by endless civil wars fought by private military companies (PMCs) with soldiers injected with nanomachines that enhance their strength.
Snake is still fighting when he is hired by Roy Campbell to assassinate Liquid Ocelot, who now leads a new organization named Outer Heaven which is in charge of 5 of the biggest PMCs rivaling the entire US military in their power. Without spoiling anything, the game wraps up the remaining plotlines with The Patriots, the remaining characters, Raiden (who was transformed into a ninja cyborg between games), Ocelot, Big Boss, and of course Solid Snake himself due to his clone DNA and aged rapidly since the previous game and does not long to live.
Metal Gear
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots (2008). Image Credit: Konami.
The final game chronologically in the Metal Gear timeline is the spin-off game Metal Gear Rising Reveangance, a hack ‘n slash game where you play as MGS2 protagonist Raiden. It’s a fantastic game in its own right but for this article, we wanted to focus just on the main series titles.
The Metal Gear timeline and story are key examples of how intricate and detailed stories in video games can be. This article has barely scratched to surface of everything these games have to offer partially because there’d be way too much to cover for one article and also because you should really experience these games for yourself.
With the news of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection coming to all consoles later this year, now’s a better time than ever to get into the mad world of political intrigue, nanomachines, and tactical espionage that Metal Gear has to offer.

This February 2022 edition of the pre-order remains largely unchanged from the last two months, with Sony Malaysia opening a “registration of interest” form for those who’d like to have a chance of getting a PS5.

The announcement was made on Sony Centre Mid Valley Megamall Facebook page. It reads:

Like always, filling up the form doesn’t mean you’ll be guaranteed to get a PS5. Sony Malaysia is the one who’ll decide who’ll be walking away with the elusive console. At the very least, this method alleviates the issue of bots and scalpers buying out all the PS5s immediately.

Besides the consoles themselves, you can also select add-ons to your pre-order. These include peripherals, warranty and even video games just like what was offered last month. All the best for your pre-orders!

Niantic teases possible Legendary Pokemon for Pokemon GO

In its speech given at the Webby awards, where Pokemon GO won numerous awards including Best Mobile Game, Niantic may have teased something fairly important which people have been waiting for ages.

The interesting thing about the Webbys is that winners are only allowed five word speeches, to which Global Marketing Product Lead for Niantic Archit Bhargava said only the following at around the 19:09 mark:

This article on ‘How Studio Trigger Carries On The Legacy Of Gainax’ was available a week earlier through the Gamerbraves Newsletter. Sign up for free to gain access to more articles about news and trends in the gaming industry and community.

Original Article
Anime Studio Trigger recently launched their latest anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to rave reviews, including our own. The anime showed the full strengths of Trigger’s traits and talents: colorful stylized animation, bombastic action scenes, and surprisingly poignant character moments.

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

The Studio truly feels one of a kind and part of that comes from its roots in being the successor of one of the most important Anime studios in the industry: Gainax. Before Trigger was making Kill La Kill, BNA, and Little Witch Academia, Gainax was pumping out Neon Genesis Evangelion, Diebuster, and FLCL. All of these anime are known for their experimental ideas that play with audience expectations while also being filled with over-the-top action and fanservice.
Gainax unfortunately hasn’t made any new anime in quite some time with Trigger taking up the torch of eccentricity and strangeness. Here’s how Studio Trigger maintained that Gainax spirit that has its routes in the anime fandom itself.

The Origins in Otaku

Daicon IV Opening Animation

Part of what makes Gainax’s so interesting is their origins. Nowadays for global fans the term ‘Otaku’ just means “anime fan” or “Japanese media fan” but Otaku in Japanese specifically refers to the overly obsessed fans that dedicated their lives to idolizing the craft of their subject of interest. I mention this because these were the people who founded Gainax.
Gainax was founded as Daicon Film in the 80s by a group of Anime/Tokusatsu Otaku at university. The group included names like Hideaki Anno, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Hiroyuki Yamaga, and Shinji Higuchi. Their first works were the Daicon III and IV openings, animated shorts for the Daicon Otaku Conventions. They featured numerous references to Godzilla, Ultraman, Star Wars, and many other objects of nerd fascination.
It made it clear from the start that these guys were otaku who wanted to make anime for like-minded people. What did that mean? It meant explosions, guns, cute girls, big boobs, and lots of in-jokes and references which can be seen in a number of their works like Diebuster, and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

Otaku No Video

I’d personally recommend watching their two-episode OVA ‘Otaku No Video’ which is about a group of university Otaku starting an animation studio, heavily inspired by Gainax’s real-life founding cut between live-action interviews with real-life different Otaku, including an American who used all his savings to move to Japan and indulge in Otaku culture. This was clearly a culture that Gainax was a part of and wished to appeal to.
The Understanding of Otaku

Neon Genesis Evangelion

These origins in Otaku culture also meant they understood the struggles of being an Otaku like loneliness and simply feeling like you can’t connect with other people.
Staff member Hideaki Anno was clinically depressed during the creation of his most well-known work: Neon Genesis Evangelion. Anno is often been accused of hating Otaku, but in reality, it’s the opposite. As an otaku himself, Anno says he wanted EVA to reach out to Otaku and show them that while anime is great, the world has a lot of other great things:
“I feel that otaku have already become common to all countries. In Europe, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, in America, otaku really do not change. I think that this is amazing. Sometimes, I say critical things about otaku, but I don’t reject them. I only say that we should take a step back and be self-conscious about these things. I think it’s perfectly fine so long as you act with an awareness of what you are doing, self-conscious and cognizant of the current situation.” says Anno in a 2003 interview with Kodansha.
“I’m just not sure it’s a good thing to reach the point where you cut yourself off from society. I don’t understand the greatness of society, either. So I have no intention of going so far as to call for people to give up otaku-like things and become more suited to society. Only, I think there are many other interesting things in the world, and we don’t have to reject them.”
While a lot of anime studios likely have staff that are anime fans, none were as proud of their Otaku identity as Gainax. Uforntualy it wasn’t to last.
The Rise of Trigger

Kill La Kill

Unfortunately, many of Gainax’s key staff would leave the company. Their last project was an OVA of Masamune Datenicle which ended in 2018. They’re still around but haven’t made any new anime since.
Meanwhile, Studio Trigger was formed in 2011 by Hiroyuki Imaishi and Masahiko Ōtsuka, ex-Gainax staff the former of whom directed two of their biggest hits: Gurren Lagann and Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt.
The studio first made an OVA called Little Witch Academia showing their wide arrange of magical animation techniques. However, Trigger really started making deep cuts into the anime industry in 2013 with Kill La Kill, an anime that was very much alive with the old Gainax charm: swords, explosions, over-the-top characters, and anime boobs. It was one of the biggest hits of the year, with many memes calling it the “savior of anime”.
From there Trigger just kept on rolling with the same punk attitude running through their projects: Kiznaiver, Little Witch Academia, Darling In The Franxx, and SSSS. Gridman. While not all perfect they maintained that otaku spirit: balancing out the fun of anime with more meaningful topics of growing up, connecting with others, and finding acceptance in society: things that otaku need to hear.

Star Wars Visions

All the while the company also remains open-minded to new ideas that keep the industry interesting. Like Gainax, they primarily work on original productions, always keeping fans guessing what they’re gonna do next.
They’ve also been keeping an eye out on otaku culture not only in Japan but around the world. Their collaborations with Disney’s Star Wars Visions and CD Project Red’s Cyberpunk Edgerunnners are a great example of this. The studio uniquely also has a Patreon where they hold sketch streams and connect with their fanbase even further.
Don’t Lose Your Way

BNA

Studio Trigger’s next project will be Gridman Universe, the third entry in the Gridman series. They haven’t revealed a lot about the plot but if it’s like previous entries we’ll see giant mecha, imposing kaiju, and a group of regular people trying to make their way through the world. The staples of Studio Trigger that were inherited from Gainax.
Studio Trigger remains an important part of the anime industry, partly because of how well they know their target audience and their willingness to both indulge them and speak to them. They fully embrace the good and bad of otaku culture both within their work and how they hold themselves on the outside.
To sum it up: Trigger is great because their animation is slick and bombastic, their stories are creative, and their characters are larger than life yet relatably human. Cyberpunk Edgerunners was one of the best anime I’ve seen all year and I’m excited to see what they come up with next.

With pre-registration numbers surpassing the 300,000 mark, all players will be getting a slow of goodies including Hera’s avatar “Vivid Colour.” The developer also teased the inclusion of a hero from a well-known game franchise, although who that is is anyone’s guess at this point.

Marvel, Square Enix form partnership to develop The Avengers game

Square Enix and Marvel have just announced their partnership to work on the games under  The Avengers. The project will be overseen by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal.

We will only be hearing more about the game and projects related to the franchise in 2018, however. We can only speculate what kind of genre the game will be, although given the pedigree of the development studios mentioned, we are going to hazard a guess and say that it could be a third person action game, perhaps set in a semi-open world environment.

DOTA: Dragon’s Blood is produced by Ashley Edward Miller, and animated by Studio MIR. The series will run for eight episodes, with no episode length stated at this point. Presumably it’ll be a series more geared to getting new fans into the DOTA universe, but we’ll see when it actually does come out to pass judgment, which is soon enough.
Considering Mirana’s and Luna’s in-game lore, we might be seeing Luna be a primary antagonist… let’s look forward to it, shall we?

Have March 7th From Honkai Star Rail Guide You Through Your Journey With Waze

While not qualified just yet to charter the journey of the Astral Express, March 7th from Honkai Star Rail is coming to Waze to assist you in your many other adventures while driving.

This is part of a special collaboration between Honkai Star Rail and Waze which sees the Ice Type Trailblazer as a voice pack option available to select from 25th of April to 24th of June.

To change the voice-pack simply head on over to your waze application and follow the following steps:

Android – Click the speaker icon located on the bottom menu > Click Waze Voice > Scroll through until you see English (US) – Honkai Star Rail
iOS – Tap Voice & Sound > Under Voice directions, tap the sound icon > scroll until you find English (US) – Honkai Star Rail

Hopefully this will not be the only voice pack they release with Waze as I personally would trust Himeko more to guide me through traffic as she is more dependable and less impulsive when compared to March 7th.
This is not the first time however that we see a character from a video game lending their voice to help folks navigate traffic and avoid paying toll fees. Master Chief from the Halo series, is one such character, which has him saying his iconic line, “Wake Me. When You Need Me.” whenever you reach your destination.
To see how March 7th fairs in battle as opposed to a navigator, you may check out our tier list. For further information regarding Honkai Star Rail and this collaboration you may visit their official website.

Guns Royale – A Mobile PUBG Playable In Augmented Reality!

Guns Royale is a mobile PUBG game by Wizard Games. We first covered this game back in June 2017 and it was showing potential of being the next battle royale game for mobile. This time, Wizard Games has shown us a really interesting video which showcases the game’s capability to be played in Augmented Reality.

Check out the gameplay in AR:

As you can see in AR, players will have a bird’s eye view of the field that you’re playing in. This may give an advantage over your enemies but this is a mobile game. It’s not as bad the third person view advantage in PUBG; you still need to aim and shoot down your enemies. This just means that the game will never be the same as Bluehole’s and it will never provide the same PC experiences for players, however it is still fun to play as a mobile battle royale game.

While the game’s nature is the same as PUBG, the AR feature will be a great investment as the future phones like iPhone 8 with Apple’s AR kit. As not many mobile games are capable to be played in AR such as this currently, we can already see how future games would be like with mobile phones integrated with the AR feature.
