The design has been changed, and new custom components have been added to this stick compared to the previous Razer Panthera. What’s important is: is it satisfying to play with?

Here’s what Razer has to say about the Razer Panthera Evo’s tech specs at a glance:

Pushbuttons with Razer™ Mechanical Switches
Artwork and color customization
3.5 mm analog headset compatible for PS4
8-button Vewlix style layout & Sanwa lever
9.8 ft / 3 m hard wired cable

Before diving in to the goods, take a look at that crisp box design. Nothing especially loud, bringing with it a sense of class of its own. Inside the box will be a manual as well as instructions for setting up. You can just hook it up and it should be all ready to go! If you’re playing a game not from Steam, you can simply install the drivers off Razer.

The basic design of the Razer Panthera Evo is the same as the original, but with a few exceptions. The outer plastic and metal remains on the bottom, with a few strips of anti-slip rubber. The top part is where all the pertinent things are, all the buttons neatly lined to the right side of the box. The Panthera Evo utilizes the same glossy finish as its predecessor and comes with the same caveats: it can be easy to leave scratch or fingerprint marks.

The most major difference would be on the buttons and the joystick, now with more space to rest your palm, increased slant and with an indent for your wrist. The shape makes the Razer Panthera Evo much more comfortable than the original. The overall surface area is much larger too, even though the Evo is the same size as the original Panthera. For those who have the original Panthera, the Evo’s lighter and takes up more room on the legs. As noted though, it’s got grips on the bottom side, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

The design has a large blue Razer logo, with an acrylic plastic base for its cover. If you fancy your custom design, or just want something different, you can print out a template and start customizing! Razer’s even provided template designs you can utilize that you can readily swap out.
The Razer Panthera Evo also now has a headphone port! This includes two for your games, and one for microphone audio, so you’re definitely not going to be missing out on your tells.

The main buttons have been shifted to the top right and adjusted accordingly, with more room and comfort. You have the touch pad, PS button, L3 and R3 buttons, a lock/unlock slider and the speaker/microphone off/on buttons. There are two dedicated buttons to the side especially handy for PS4 players, as they’re the easily accessible Options and Share buttons!
The Razer Panthera Evo no longer primarily uses Sanwa buttons, and are instead replaced by Razer’s own Vewlix mechanical buttons, similar to the ones used on their keyboards. Sanwa fans may want to test it out for themselves to feel the difference, but besides that, if you’re not picky about the precise brand used, it’s as responsive as you need them to be, so in that way, there would be zero issue. It’s faster than its predecessor, just to sway you further into getting this.

After all that, it’s time to dive into games to actually give the Razer Panthera Evo a fair shake. Breaking it out on Street Fighter V Champion Edition, using the stick itself isn’t any issue. The control schemes only show the movement of the stick and button presses, so it might be more difficult for non-regular FGC players to parse which button corresponds to what. Granted, if you got the stick, then you’re more than likely already more familiar with the controls, which the stick will readily register with, if at all, minimal delay.

Time for practice then! For Ryu as an example, using the Hadouken requires you to flick the stick to the right and hit either triangle or square to launch it. At full bar, rotate that stick twice for a more powerful Hadouken! Utilizing the stick is easy and smooth with no hitches, and the button presses are registered equally swiftly.
Next on the deck is Mortal Kombat 11, for a nice time with Spawn. Unfortunately, the stick doesn’t seem to flow as well for MK11, with the DualShock feeling much more natural instead due to the prompts using the directional pad on the native controller instead of a fight stick. If you are a player who’s already used to playing with the stick, then there would be no problem, as the movements themselves are highly responsive. It’s probably just something to gradually get comfortable with.

Customizing the design is easy, especially if you’re using the templates provided by Razer. If it’s regarding changing out the stick or buttons, that’s not an issue either. It’s easy to swap them out, and there’s compartments on the Panthera Evo itself to tuck away cables to keep your setup looking neat. There’s a rubber tie too, so you can be sure that wire won’t be going everywhere.

For ease of customization, the original Razer Panthera is better in that regard as you can just pop it open, while the Evo variant requires a screwdriver. Still though, for overall improvements and actual mileage and use, the Razer Panthera Evo is great, especially with the additions of microphone and headphone ports for even more convenience. Check it out for yourselves if you’re interested in getting it!

ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 will be available for pre-order soon

ASUS has recently revealed their new generation of mid-range smartphone – Zenfone Max Pro M2, which it will be introduced officially in India on December 11. We are glad to get our hands on the device before its launch, but due to an agreement made with the official, we couldn’t share the photos of the actual device yet.

Zenfone Max Pro M2 comes in an attractive design with 6.3-inch FHD+ FullView display and 90% screen-to-body ratio. It is made of the durable Gorilla Glass 6 as well, so you can expect it to survive a few drops without any screen crack.

As a mid-range smartphone, its specifications are pretty decent. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor along with 4GB/6GB RAM and 64GB/128GB ROM. For the camera, the device features a 13MP camera on the front, while on the back it is having the dual 12MP + 5MP camera. It supports 4K video recording too. Thanks to Snapdragon 660 AI processor, the camera could recognize and optimize your shots automatically.

Moreover, it features the NXP Smart Amplifier technology that offers a clearer and louder audio experience. The massive 5000mAh battery allows up to 2 days of normal usage or over 7 hours of PUBG Mobile! Unfortunately its download speed is quite unsatisfied as it is using the 2.4GHz WiFi receiver.

ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 will be available in 2 colours – Blue and Silver, while the official price is not announced yet (probably under RM1000). We will be reviewing the device soon so stay tuned! You can check out the official ASUS website or Facebook for updates about the device too.

Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 Review – You’ll Never See It Coming

Whenever a long running RPG franchise announces that it will be getting a mobile adaptation, it usually is a sign of concern. Having spent some time playing Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 however, we can safely conclude that some of that worry has been alleviated as it is a well-made attempt for SMT fans that want something on the go.

To start off, the combat system will be familiar to fans of the console games, albeit slightly simpler in order to win over newcomers. It revolves around the Press Turn system which determines how many actions either side is able to take. If certain results occur such as an weakness being exploited or a critical hit is landed, you will be able to make another turn. Changes to MP system have been made, where you are only limited to 10 which refills once the enemy has had its turn. Certain abilities now also have limited uses per battle regardless, so you will have to take into consideration as to when the best time to use these skills are.

As always, you will be able to communicate with demons during the fight in order to win them over. Demons have their own personalities so you will have to approach them accordingly with the answers you provide to their questions. This time around, the conversations are no longer randomly generated, so if you got the answer wrong in a particular fight, you will be able to get things right the next time around. Other means of gaining demons include using premium currency and tickets. The fusion system here too, and you will be able to get a lot of the top tier demon through combining one or more of them.

Gameplay-wise, Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 is as good as it can be for the smartphone. Unfortunately however, the same cannot be said for the story. The plot here is bare bones and serve only to guide players along the various story chapters, and it provided very little motivation for us to advance through the campaign. That said, this can be improved upon by the developers should the game gain traction, as seen in games such as Fate/Grand Order and Star Ocean: Anamnesis where their respective stories got better over time.

Minor issues aside, Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 is very much worth playing especially if you’re a series fan, as it is quite fleshed out and in depth.  Newcomers will not be able to appreciate it as much, but if anything, it is more of a reason to play the other games first.

The Lost City Review – The City Isn’t The Only Thing That’s Missing

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum pair up as unlikely heroes in The Lost City and I’m here to tell you if it’s worth watching in this review. If you aren’t already aware, the film is a comedy/action movie and releases in Malaysia cinemas today.

With that out of the way, let’s get into this review of The Lost City.

Story and Writing
The Lost City tells the story of Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) a romance/adventure novelist who gets kidnapped by billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe) who forces her to lead him to an ancient treasure from her novel. Her novel’s cover model, Alan (Channing Tatum) goes on a rescue mission to save her, which only results in misadventure.

It’s best not to take The Lost City too seriously. It’s a rather simple, straightforward and predictable story about two unlikely main characters who overcome their weaknesses and personal struggles and end up saving the day. While Loretta and Alan do grow by the end of the movie, all the characters in the film—them included—are written to be very one-dimensional and basically behave the same from start to finish.

Since this is a comedy, I can forgive the film lacklustre story somewhat. What I find hard to forgive is the humour, which isn’t done very well. Of course, humour is subjective. Personally, I feel that the funny parts were too cringy and corny. Quite often, I found the punchlines to be a bit too crude and predictable. Throughout the movie, I was feeling awkward and cringed instead of laughing.
There were others in the cinema with me who were laughing, but I realised that the laughter mostly consisted of older cinemagoers. Maybe it’s the age gap, but as someone in his 20s, I do get the feeling that my parents might find The Lost City funnier than me.

Performance
This is easily the strongest aspect of the film. You have a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe and Brad Pitt. While I blame the writing, I respect the actors and actresses for delivering strong performances.
Even though everyone was written very one-dimensionally, I feel that the cast carried out their roles to the best of their abilities. The acting does feel very “in your face” and not subtle as a result, but everyone is very expressive and theatrical, so even though the jokes don’t land for me, I still enjoyed watching the actors perform.
The best example to highlight this is Daniel Radcliffe, who plays an eccentric billionaire. He looks and acts EXACTLY like the same billionaire he played in Now You See Me 2. He’s very over the top and is probably the most cliché character out of everyone else, but he’s still fun to watch since it’s Harry Potter acting like a stereotypical bad guy whose superpower is being rich.

Visuals and Sound
The Lost City mainly takes place in a jungle on some island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. For the majority of the film, the most eye-catching thing is Sandra Bullock’s purple sequin bodysuit. It exemplifies the “out of place” nature that is so prevalent throughout the film.
Overall the film is very bright and colourful, which does a good job of creating the lighthearted atmosphere needed for this kind of comedy. It’s just that the execution is poor.

In terms of sound, a lot of times in the movie, the jokes weren’t really working because it relies too much on the music. Many a time, humour will be set up in one scene, but then when it cuts to the next, awkward unfitting music will be played for comedic effect. Personally, I feel that this method is quite cheap, since the music is there to try and make up for the weak writing.
For example, when Alan rides in to Loretta, “The Final Countdown” would play. I get it—it makes the scene “feel funnier” (I say feel, because it’s not actually funny). As a result, the film feels like it’s trying too hard to be funny and just ends up turning me off.

Closing Thoughts
That’s all for this review of The Lost City. As a comedy-action movie, it’s very “hit or miss” with its humour. Thankfully, its star-studded cast helped to keep the film from being boring. Ultimately, even though it’s not a great movie, it’s still worth watching if you love Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt or the other cast members as they perform larger than life roles.

Pros
Cons

Actors deliver solid performances
Humour is flat, cringy and a bit too tryhard

Visually eye-catching
Very predictable and clichéd plot

Characters are one-dimensional

Pascals Wager: Annunciation Is A Mobile Game Like Bloodborne

Pascals Wager: Annunciation is a game by TipsWorks from China. The company who made this game has over 20 years of developing mobile games. Now with their latest masterpiece that’s coming to mobile, Pascals Wager, the game was also showcased during E3 2018!

The game as seen in the trailer, has pretty much given us the Bloodborne vibe as we were brought through the opening trailer. There were a couple of gameplay videos that showcased battles with a boss and it really does look like Bloodborne or Dark Souls. As you might notice, you will need to rely on your dodging skills, parry or counter attack against the boss. There’s a stamina bar as well which is crucial for your survival as you will not be able to perform any moves when you run out of stamina – just like in Bloodborne or Dark Souls.

Below are some gameplay videos:

For now we’re not sure if the game will be coming to both iOS and Android. If you are interested in the game, you can actually pre-register yourselves now for the upcoming Beta test on their official site.

The esports community has highlighted potential conflicts of interest over the Olympic Esports Series event, as developers of multiple Olympic Esports developers were also found to have connections to local Esports organizations.

Image Credit: World Taekwondo
First discovered on r/esports and reported via The Esports Advocate (TEA), the uproar revolves around two companies- Project 99 and Refract Technologies, with multiple staff from the latter also sporting connections to esports organizations in Singapore.

The main issue raised is as follows- two games developed by Refract Technologies (and one of them published by Project 99) were selected as part of the Olympic Esports Series 2023.
These titles are Virtual Taekwondo, a VR version of the martial arts competition as well as Tic Tac Bow, a mobile game meant to represent archery.

“As is the case with the Olympic Games, the local organizing committee was able to propose events on the programme for IOC consideration. The featured events put forward were Taekwondo and Archery. The games corresponding to these events were developed by a local collaborator, Refract Technologies, and approved by the IOC as they fully met the same criteria as other games included“, the statement reads.
The original report goes on to imply this has to do with the key members of Refract Technologies holding positions in various esports organizations across Singapore- where the Olympic Esports Week event is set to take place this June.
GamerBraves has verified information from TEA that multiple members of Refract Technologies leadership also sport positions in organizations ranging from Singapore Esports Association to the Global Esports Federation.
The members and their specific organizations are as follows:

                                        Name

                                        Position (Refract Technologies)

                                        Nominated Exco Member

GamerBraves has reached out to SCOGA, SGEA, and The Global Esports Federation for comment, and will update with their statements as they come in.
SCOGA has denied any involvement with the Olympic Esports Series, also saying that founding member Eugene Koh is not an active member in the organization.
“While it is true that Mr Koh is a founding member of SCOGA (2008). However, he has not been on the executive committee of SCOGA since 2016 and hence does not maintain any oversight or decision-making on SCOGA’s initiatives”, the organization told Gamerbraves.
“SCOGA is also not directly involved with the Olympic Esports Week”, they said.

UPDATE 1:
SGEA has also responded to request for comment, denying that they had any influence on the selected games.

“SGEA was not involved in the selection process of the game titles. For this year’s Olympic Esports Week, the sports federations were responsible for submitting the eligible virtual sports titles to the International Olympic Committee for consideration. The IOC deals directly with the sports federations on the selection of titles”, a representative tells us.

UPDATE 2:
Global Esports Federation has also denied any involvement with the “planning and operations of the Olympic Esports Series” in a statement to GamerBraves.
Suspicion From Fans
The original report’s suspicion comes from the opaque nature of how the Olympic Esports Series chooses its entries- while some categories sport well-established brands like Just Dance (Dance) and Gran Turismo (Motor Sport), the two titles instead appear to have been custom made for the event.

Tic Tac Bow, for example, was only released on the first of March- the same day it was announced as an Olympic Esports event.

Still, considering that the partnership with Refract Technologies was announced as far back as 2021, it would make sense if part of that deal was about finding a way to get specific sports translated into Esports, rather than working with pre-existing games.

Whilst respecting the heritage and retaining the DNA of the franchise, DIRT 5 writes a new chapter in the legacy of DIRT – bolder and braver than ever before.
DIRT 5 is more than relentless rallying, more than suspension-shaking jumps, more than hairpins and handbrakes. Join an energised world of off-road racing, and be part of a vibe that delivers big on epic action, pure expression, and unbridled style.
Bursting with modes, ways to play, and concepts never before seen in the series, DIRT 5 is an overload of amplified entertainment.
Dive into the ambitious Career mode, which lets you choose your path to glory as you progress through an immersive journey. The narrative features a voice cast led by the legendary Troy Baker and Nolan North, partnered by the car culture heroes at Donut Media and more famous names from the automotive world. Make your unique mark and overcome all obstacles to ensure nobody ever forgets your name.
Play together in Career and offline modes with split-screen for up to four players, making DIRT 5 the ultimate playground for you to throw down, trade paint and get really sideways with your friends, either online or on the couch.
Looking for a fresh way to be playful on four wheels? Take the fun to a global scene, with traditional race events and innovative modes that’ll have you hooning for miles and grinning from ear to ear. But that’s far from all it when it comes to ways to play DIRT 5. Look out for the reveal of a new mode later this year – something you have never seen before from the DIRT franchise.
Travel the world to conquer over 70 routes from locations spanning the entire globe, that turn real landmarks into racetracks – from the frozen East River in New York, to the marble mines of Italy, to the Favelas of Brazil. Defy dynamic weather conditions, intimidating terrain and unpredictable elements in eight different race types, covering gravel, snow, mud, ice and more surfaces in between.
Your ride of choice? Choose from a ferocious car roster that includes machines purpose-built for off-road dominance – and a few you’ll be less used to seeing off the beaten track. Our first trailer gives you a first glimpse at what you’ll take the wheel of, from extreme machines like the Ariel Nomad, to racing icons like the Lancia Stratos and modern off-road masters like the Citroen C3 R5.
Oh, and each car will be visually customisable through DIRT 5’s nuanced livery editor, with more editing options than any previous DIRT game. Once you’re done designing, snap your greatest moments with a dedicated Photo Mode, capturing ever jump, scrape and slide.
It’s all set in that amplified off-road world, dripping in style and giving license for you to express yourself, on and off the track. With a backdrop of infectious atmosphere and an unforgettable soundtrack, everything you do in DIRT 5 adds to the vibe. So, what will you bring to the table?

Super Mario Run Adds On Friendly Run Mode!

Recently in this Christmas season, Super Mario Run has decorated the game with the Christmas theme. Now they have released an add on mode, Friendly Run, to race against your friends! However the number of times you can play it is limited of up to 5 times per day. Since Toad Rally requires you to pay Rally Tickets, this mode does not! You can pick anyone that is in your friends list and race against them!

Friendly Run is a new mode that allows players to race against their friends. The mode does not cost any tickets and will not earn nor lose you any toads. It will also not increase the number of enemies you have defeated in the mode. Since Super Mario Run’s Toad Rally is one of the aspects of the game for you to earn toads and build your Mushroom Kingdom, this mode will allow players to practice with their friends to get good in Toad Rally.
The Friendly Run mode will require you to complete the Kingdom Builder tutorial to unlock the mode. If you have not completed World 1, you will only be able to play Friendly Run once per day. Completed World 1 will enable you to play up to 3 times. However if you have completed World 2 and beyond, you will be able to play the mode up to 5 times per day. Of course, you’ll need to add friends into your list to be able to play that mode.

To add a friend, go to your friend list, tap on Link, Invite or Add. Once the person accepts your invitation, he/she will appear in your in game friends list! Choose anyone of them in your list and challenge them to a Friendly Run. Just tap on the Run button to start and get your thumbs working.
Personally, I think the limit is redundant. Since this is a paid app with limited number of levels along with Toad Rally that requires tickets to play, the limit to play daily on Friendly Run will just increase the frustration of the people who paid for the app. There are no options to pay in-game as well to circumvent the limits. So with that in mind, the game may be fun and all but the limits will only fuel player’s frustration over their limited experience.

Total War: Warhammer 3 announced for 2021

Creative Assembly dropped an epic new trailer for Total War: Warhammer 3, announcing the game for later this year.

For the first time in the series, players will be able to play as Kislev and Cathay factions from the start. These minor factions in Games Workshop finally have a bigger role to play. Apparently, players can also play and lead armies as the Chaos Gods themselves—Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch and Khorne.
Far beyond the world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The Realm of Chaos. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind. It whispers promises of power, but to behold it is to be seduced by it. To relinquish your soul to it. To become it.

The four Ruinous Powers rule over this place, ever seeking to slip their bonds and engulf the world in a tide of daemonic corruption. Nurgle, the plague god; Slaanesh, the lord of excess; Tzeentch, the changer of ways; and Khorne, the god of blood and slaughter.
On the border between the worlds, two mighty kingdoms stand sentinel: the stern warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay. But each is beset by its own trials, and now both have cause to cross the threshold and send their armies into the Realm of Chaos.
The world stands on a precipice. A single push will plunge it into cataclysm.
And there is one who schemes to achieve just that, an ancient figure who desires nothing less than to wield supreme power. But to succeed, he will need a champion…
The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command them?

OlliOlli World: The VOID Riders DLC Review – In Space, No One Can Hear You Grind

Perspective about what DLC “should be” is a little all over the place. While some people expect a DLC to provide a brand new experience, others might just want another hit of their favorite game without having to buy a whole sequel.

OlliOlli World: The VOID Riders squarely falls in the latter category- it’s not much more than just another hit of OlliOlli World, for the skate junkie eager for even more challenging speed-platforming set against the gorgeous cartoony vistas of Radlandia.

Related Posts

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

Here’s the catch though- that’s all what made the base OlliOlli World so amazing to start with, and VOID Riders does just enough different to add it to the hall of fame for great DLC.
Encounters Of The Pro Skater Kind
The plot of VOID Riders starts after you clear the base game’s third zone (which is conveniently themed after Area 51). Your skater ( who may or may not be the chosen one of the Skate Godz by now) meets three aliens, heralds of the rad Nebulon (who, I am told, rules).

Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

After meeting them, they create three challenge areas, all across the game’s different maps which you’ll have to skate through, similar to the sections of the other levels where you get to choose one level to skip before you head to the VOID and meet Nebulon himself.
I think my one gripe with VOID Riders is here: VOID Riders actually has some semblance of a linear plot, with characters referring to events happening in a sequence (meeting the VOID Riders, doing their challenges then meeting Nebulon). The level structure is such you can do the levels in any order, so it does feel weird when you’ve already wandered into the VOID and the next level only just decides to mention that if you do extra good at this next challenge, they’ll take you to meet Nebulon.
I can kind of guess what the logic was: it feels like the developers wanted you to revisit the older maps, rather than spend the whole DLC on one newly added stage. But I think maybe actually locking off the areas would have made more sense, at least from a narrative standpoint.
Enough Talk, Let’s Skate
But no one plays OlliOlli for the plot, right? You’re here for the excellent skate gameplay, which I’ve already praised to no end in the base game.
VOID Riders takes this up to 11 with some of the best additions to the base game I’ve seen since The Old Hunters released for Bloodborne. There’s only one real new mechanic, which is the Tractor Beams- these require you to grab to cause your character to accelerate upwards, preserving whatever momentum they had before going in.
It’s a really fun addition to OlliOlli World’s toybox- and the game really wastes no time in making clever use of it, with strict requirements like needing to grab as early as possible if you want to come out of the tractor beam with maximum air.

This pairs up with another design choice that VOID Riders brings to OlliOlli World: levels that construct as you ride through them. This isn’t procedurally generated, it’s just a visual flair- what you might see as a giant leap will suddenly have spaceships putting together new ramps seemingly just before you land, testing just how much panic your body can take in one sitting.
Despite it not being a new “mechanic” per se, it really does give you a new flavor of the game. You basically have two options to approach the level- either have a fast enough reaction speed to respond to what the game’s going to throw at you next, or be ok with wiping out and restarting enough time to memorize which platforms are going to appear next.
That being said, for every good addition there’s bound to be a few kinks in the plan. Each of the VOID Rider’s areas has a finale level, that unfortunately taps into OlliOlli World’s sidequests to use the alternate objectives for winning. Rather than get to the end, it can be something like racing a creature to the end of the track or collecting all the pinatas without crashing.
One of these finales is basically flappy bird but rad.
On one hand I can kinda see why they’d do it- variety is the spice of life. But as a Lemon & Herb kind of guy I was perfectly happy to just do another elaborate track since I’m not exactly a perfectionist- failure is part of my method, and the pressure of completing things perfectly just makes these finales more often than not feel the un-fun kind of stress.
That being said, the game does reward you for your troubles- Nebulord’s finale, much like Nebulord, rules. It uses the structure of most of the other finales- a sort of left-to-right loop to create a sick track that he then builds new obstacles on each time you pass through. To me, it’s the build-a-track portion of VOID Riders at its best, since you will have to remember which configuration he does next.
It Feels Great To Be Back In Radlandia, Actually

All in all, I really enjoyed my time with OlliOlli World: The VOID Riders. Due to how it’s set up, it’s only as good as the base game itself, and thankfully that game’s excellent.
Just like the game preceding it, VOID Riders has a sincerity and charm to it that you can’t help but smile at, even as you faceplant into the pavement again and again. While a lot of DLC can feel like content that was cut out and repackaged to be sold again for the double dip, VOID Riders very much feels like your DM bursting into your session with “oh my god look what I just figured out you can do”.
It’s a shame about the non-linear story- I kind of like the idea of seeing Nebulord just kind of get more obsessed with your rad tricks over time. But everything else is so good it just becomes a tiny blip on the radar compared to how good the rest of it is.

Postknight: An interview with Kurechii

Postknight has launched for a couple of days and it has archived a million of downloads. Few days ago, we are honored to have an interview with the founder of Kurechii (Postknight‘s developer), Yiwei P’ng.

About Kurechii and Postknight
When asked about how the name “Kurechii” came from, P’ng says it is derived from the words “creative” and “crazy“. The Kurechii team started to form back in 2009, brought together by some making of web browser based games. They joined the Malaysia Intellectual Property Creators Challenge (MIPCC) which came out their first ever game named Reachin’ Pichin. After that, their interest into game industry develops and continue to produce games.

Kurechii would try to make games that even looking at it will bring you joy rather than following the market’s trend blindly. They would make games by matching every team member’s skill set and strength, knowing what they can do and what they want to do.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

He mentioned that Postknight was initially an experimental project, inspired by the on-the-go lifestyle he experienced during his trip to Tokyo. The game is designed in portrait mode with only short sessions for people to be able to play with only one hand while be able to put down the game and continue anytime.

Producing games for other genre or platforms and future plans
Kurechii did not really focus on any genre and will not limit themselves on a specific platforms. He shared that they will be focusing more on improving previous game titles in the following two years. Besides, they are now working on a series of game which could all share the same universe, and in multi-platform. They set their views on cross-platform multiplayer too, looking forward to it!
Challenges faced while creating a game
The team mainly struggle in performance optimizing as they do not want to overly downgrade any other aspect for presentation. They do spent lots of time to optimize graphics for better presentation.
Thoughts of game industry in Malaysia
They are happy to see the government supporting the industry and having MDEC to help those newbies who just stepped in the game industry. More events are held these few years, more game hub and game development studio is here which brings more job opportunity to the industry. The game industry is growing that people starts to see more potential thus being more likely to get into education. But sustaining and surviving in game industry is still a major challenge, Kurechii would like to make sure that their team can stay long enough to learn and grow.
Local game industry event vs events overseas
There is not much difference in both local and overseas events’ content, however our local player are not really aware of local made game. People often think them as a publisher who just bringing the game in instead of making games. Kurechii hopes that more people can be aware of local made game through those events held, which gives more motivation for people to join the industry.
Advice for those who would like to join game industry
P’ng shared with us that a right mindset is very important to join the industry. Don’t just simply make a game and hope for luck in local market. Instead, set your mind for the game to be push out into global market. Do not think too much on how to sell a game too, as people will come to look for it when your game is good enough. Lastly, finish up the game and put it on stores for people to play is the most important thing to do. You don’t learn only by applying your skill in making the game but you learn by completing it and getting feedback from players to improve.

Fan-made Digimon World Remake in the works

A fan-made Digimon World Remake is currently in development. Based on the 1999 Playstation hit Digimon World, the fan remake runs on Unreal Engine 4.

Digimon World launched on the Playstation in 1999. The game revolves around the player raising a Digimon from an egg and fighting other Digimon. The player’s Digimon “fades away” with age and they will have to start the process again from egg level. Despite not faring well with reviews and criticism, it went on to spawn more sequels and spin-offs since then.

Youtube’s Digicore handles the development of the remake. At the moment, Digicore has managed to create a world large enough to travel around. Players can have a Digimon and interact with other Digimon as well. This includes fighting other Digimons. In a manner of speaking, the game is in a playable state but improvements still need to be made. Currently, the combat feels sluggish and slow. The hit reactions and attack animation still require a lot of work.

Despite its flaws, Digicore deserves some credit. As with most fan remakes, the development tends to be handled by one person or a very small group. Furthermore, fan remakes normally do not get finished or released. Remaking a game as a fan is no simple task and Digicore should be applauded for the amount of effort that was put into the current game.

For more updates on the progress of Digimon World Remake, you can check out Digicore’s Youtube channel.

Red-haired adventurer extraordinaire Adol Christin has finally reunited with his best pal, Dogi, and is eager to set sail for new adventures in Afroca. It seems fate has other plans for him, however, as a pirate captain named Ladoc makes him an offer he simply can’t refuse: a chance to explore a dangerous, uncharted archipelago in the Atlas Ocean that may hold treasures of heretofore unseen value.
Never ones to back away from a good mystery, Adol and Dogi both agree to join Ladoc on this expedition aboard his ship, the “Tres Mares” — but no sooner does it weigh anchor than the Romuns, their sights set on the same curious islands of Canaan, attack the wayward pirates and ultimately knock Adol overboard, leaving him for dead.

Some time later, he washes ashore in Canaan itself, alive but weakened, rescued and resuscitated by two young girls named Isha and Olha who sport long ears and bushy tails. They are of the native “Rehda” tribe, and it seems Adol is not the first human to arrive here — nor are humans particularly welcome…
Come experience the very first 3D Ys game as you’ve never experienced it before! Already the foundation upon which Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin would later be built, this version of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim comes equipped with an original translation and brand new, entirely unique gameplay features such as the addition of a super hardcore “Catastrophe Mode” for fans of the later titles, full widescreen support, map warping, Steam achievements and leaderboards, and even a full digital art book packed with concept sketches, hi-res character portraits and original production PSDs.
See what you’ve been missing with this definitive version of the game that brought Ys into the modern era!
Key Features:

Fast, real-time combat centered around elemental swords with unique magical abilities
Enormous screen-filling bosses set to quintessentially Ys rock music composed by the legendary Falcom Sound Team jdk

Smaller but no less powerful – Acer AOpen 22CV1Q review

Acer’s AOpen sub-brand released three new monitors, two of which we have already reviewed – the 27HC5RP and 24CL1Y – and last but not least, the 22CV1Q we’re going through here. As its name implies, it’s a 22-inch screen, a more standard option closer to the 24-inch offering than the 27-inch’s curved design. While it may be smaller, the 22CV1Q still can provide up to 75 Hz refresh rate! This 1920 x 1080 FHD display comes with Blue Light Shield and Flickerless technology, so even if it is smaller, it’s not “inferior” choice.

FHD + 75 Hz Refresh Rate
As mentioned, the Acer AOpen 22CV1Q is a 22-inch display with thin bezels all round to maximise the Full HD visuals for better detail and more accurate colours on screen. With both films and games, the visual quality is satisfactory for its size, so you can play your high definition games be it console or PC without a problem.

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

The display possesses up to 72% NTSC colour gamut to ensure bright, clear colours. It’s also a speedy one with no tearing, thanks to its 5ms response time and 75Hz refresh rate. It’s not the fastest, but if you’re not playing highly competitive games, it’ll function just fine for your viewing parties.

If you happen to have limited space even for this 22-inch monitor, it still keeps great image quality and colours from any angle up to 178 degrees, so you can adjust it as necessary and the images on screen will be just fine even from the side.
Eye care technology
The 22-inch AOpen offering isn’t an IPS panel, but it does instead offer Blue Light Shield to lessen the strain on the eyes, and Flickerless technology to reduce instances of screen flicker for a much smoother viewing experience. Thanks to the combination of these two technologies, utilizing the screen for long stretches at a time will not be as tiring as you might assume. The lack of IPS helps reduce the price of the monitor, a price to pay to be on a budget.
Limited connectivity

The lower price means the connectivity options on this monitor is limited as well, possessing one HDMI and VGA port each. It’s pretty much the bare essentials that you can get for this price wherever you’d want to use this monitor at. A VESA Mount is also provided so that users can adjust their viewing angle as they want.

Genshin Impact 3.1 brings new features to reduce file size for Mobile

The 3.1 Update for Genshin Impact is now live with a lot of updates including the new feature that allows players to delete past quest files to reduce the size of the game.

The HoyoLab post reads as follows:

“On the Asia, Europe, America, and TW, HK, and MO servers, testing of the “Past Quest Resource Management” function has begun: Travelers can delete the audio and video resources corresponding to the completed Archon Quests and Story Quests on mobile, thus reducing the size of the game. The deleted audio resources can be re-downloaded after deletion. Travelers can do so in the “Settings > Resources > Quest Resources” interface. The function is now being tested in the Irminsul Server. Function testing will commence on the Celestia Server in Version 3.2.”
This feature is actually a life saver for those on mobile, more so when this feature is available only on mobile, as it is pretty much apparent that those on the mobile, especially on the older models are suffering from the titanic size of Genshin Impact’s game file.

As of the present 3.1 update, the size for Genshin Impact for mobile takes up over 20+ GB with the PC version having a total of 60+ GB.
There has been no news on this feature of deleting past quests data to come to the version PC as of yet and the only means of reducing the game size on that platform is to delete the audio files for languages that you do not use.

Youtuber Uncovers Lost Episode of Saban Sailor Moon

Youtuber Ray Mona had managed to uncover the lost first episode of the Saban and Toon Makers’ produced Sailor Moon project which is the americanised version based on the Sailor Moon series by Naoko Takeuchi named Saban Moon.

About Saban Moon
Based on the Sailor Moon wiki, the North American Live Action Adaptation of the Sailor Moon series Saban Moon which was made by NA animation company Toon Makers and Haim Saban’s representative company – Renaissance Atlantic, was initially intended to air back in the 1990’s where the plot of the series was focused on a Teen Drama half live action half animation story. In series, the girls had to deal with real-life problems showing the real-life actresses as well as having animated sequences of the girls in space.

The series ultimately never got the green light to air and with how the series was kept in secrecy where the only know footage of Saban Moon was shown through a fan’s recording of a promotional video that was shown during a convention that had happened long ago.

It was until recently that Youtuber Ray Mona made a two part documentary of her digging through and uncovering the lost footage of the first episode of Saban Moon. In the second part of the documentary, it is at the 1:44:01 mark where we got to see the pilot episode of the series that never made it out of production.
