One of the more welcome changes in Dragonflight, was the freedom to approach the game, in kind of play however you want on your main and then on your alts, from questing in game activities. Can we expect that sort of design philosophy to continue in upcoming patches?
Ion Hazzikostas: Absolutely. I think that’s something that we’ve been moving towards steadily over the last couple of years. I think there’s a pivot there in the middle of Shadowlands.
We realized you need to listen to much more clearly what our players were telling us about how they were looking to play the game, how they viewed their experiences as one character versus their collection of characters.

I think from the ground up when building Dragonflight systems, we’ve tried to keep things like all friendliness and catch up in mind, be very respectful of player’s time. Think about which activities are going to land themselves more naturally to being repeated on other characters and giving a satisfying progression and a fresh experience, versus which you should be able to opt out of. That’s something that we try to carry forward through everything we do.

We’ve noticed that in this season, you guys opt to go for the group looting system. Are there any thoughts on bringing back the personal loot system?
Ion Hazzikostas: That’s not something we’re planning on doing. I think the fact that for PUGs, personal loot had some upsides, which is not tremendously surprising. At the same time, group loot is something we wanted to return to, because of the unique nature of rating. We feel like personal loot is still the perfect fit for like the vast majority of the game, certainly everything you’re soloing, but even in a dungeon group where there’s a large pool of items.
When it comes to a raid group, it reflects a cooperative group effort over even in a PUG, some meaningful period of time as you progress through the raid together. And there are social decisions and interactions in how you assign that loot. Another effect of it is that it encourages diverse class compositions, which is another one of our goals in support of just helping the community and helping people be able to find groups.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
With personal loot, we often would see you’d have groups that wanted to stack all mail wearing classes or all leather wearing classes to have more opportunities for trading loot around. With group loot, you actually want a diverse composition. If you don’t have a hunter, get a hunter in case of bow drops, you’re just wasting an item without them.
I think that better reflects the player base as a whole and helps create more opportunities, for classes that may not be seen, or specs that may not be seen as the flavor of the month, to find their way into these PUG environments.
We definitely hear concerns about just potential RNG, the feeling of losing rolls to others, and that’s something we want to continue to improve and to look at addressing to make that experience feel better.
But I do think there’s something exciting about that moment when you kill a raid boss and a bunch of things pop up and you have a bunch of roll windows where like it’s an explosion of loot for the group to figure out how to allocate, versus before in personal, you have 20 people in a raid, you kill a boss, 15 of those people go up and click the boss and they get gold and that’s it. That’s just not as exciting an experience. Assuming we can continue to work out the kinks and that’s going to be an ongoing process, the beginning of which we’ve seen in Dragonflight.

Touching on the armour real quick, because I love the Onyx Annulate as a gear slot, it does kind of remind me a lot of other borrowed power items of old. In 10.1, is the gear slot going to be made obsolete, or will there be improvements made, like getting more stones?
Ion Hazzikostas: Neither, I would say. It’s not going to instantly be obsolete, but no, we don’t plan to keep adding new gemstones or upgrades to the gemstones. I think ultimately, borrowed power is a term which is used for parallel progression, tier or expansion spanning systems where it’s like, you’re done collecting experience, you’ve hit max level, you have this alternate advancement path where you’re going to get artifact XP, you’re going to level up your heart of Azeroth or anything else.
That was meant to be part of you for the expansion and then be left behind. In the most literal sense, all items are borrowed power. Like you get a trinket from season one from the raid, you use it for a while, you’re going to replace it, but that’s just the nature of items.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
At the end of the day, what we were trying to do with the amulet in 10.0.7, was make an interesting item that had its own little chase and progression as part of the Zskera Vault and the broader system of what forbidden reach was. It’s very, it’s tuned to be certainly for some specs very powerful, something people are going to carry into season 2 with them. They will use and have an advantage from having early on.
Some will replace it, others may not for a bit until later in the season. Eventually though there will be a better rings down the line for everyone and it’s just a fun reward that was tied to this late season content update.

We’ve noticed some of the rare items are so rare that they barely drop, will there be potential changes to improve the drop rates for these rare items?
Ion Hazzikostas: I think the drop rates are something we definitely can adjust. By definition, we call them rare items. The intent is that they are rare, they do drop at a consistent rate. Obviously, people’s experiences will vary and one player may just never happen to see it. Another player may have experience of seeing 3 in a row in their different PUGs. That’s just how it goes.
Part of the goal here is to make sure there are some exciting chase rewards, things that you’re hoping to see when you click on the corpse. And that’s been part of WoW, going all the way back to Molten Core and hoping that you got a Ragnaros drop or a Binding of the Wind Seeker or whatever else.
So much of the loot these days, the vast majority, you have a clear path to getting. There are more ways than ever before to get, whether it’s through Mythic+, through raiding, crafting specific items of a certain item level.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
People who play regardless of playstyle, if they’re playing at comparable skill levels, will progress towards similar item levels in the long run, particularly when you’re on farm or when you’re reclearing the raid for the 6th, 7th time as you’re working on whether it was Raszageth last year or Sarkareth in Aberrus coming up. It’s, I think it’s a bit more interesting if there’s something you’re really hoping to see dropped from boss 3 or boss 4 along the way. So if we make that too consistent, that goes away.
Now the thing that we need to be careful of, is making sure that these rare drops aren’t too impactful. We want them to be better, but when it’s something like what the Raszageth Bow was in season one or the Evoker staff in some cases, like where it feels like if you don’t have this item, you are just so far behind all of your peers who do and you don’t have a direct way of controlling it, that starts to feel bad.
Now when it’s a smaller advantage, well at the end of the day that you probably have some things that they don’t have and that balances out in the long run. We do want to be careful to try to avoid repeats of the Raszageth Bow, which for BM hunters was basically above how it was scaling that we fixed halfway through the season.

Dragonflight has had some of the most enjoyable questing experience, instead of just asking us to go there and farm a certain amount of items. Are there any other sort of significantly different quest designs coming that you can talk about in 10.1?
Josh Augustine: Absolutely. It’s great to hear you loving those, those were my some of my personal favorites as well as a player in Dragonflight. And that was one of the things we tried in Dragonflight, right? Trying to help tell the story of the culture through a special game system for each of the culture. So like Centaurs had hunts, Tuskarr had the feast explorers like you mentioned at the rock climbing and the cataloging and we’ve seen players react really positively to those. So that’s definitely something we’re kind of doubling down on in 10.1.
So when we go down into 10.1, there’s kind of 2 kind of large friendly groups down there. One is the dragon scale expedition, who we know from up above. And so we have a public scenario with them called the researchers under fire. And that’s like a large scale public scenario where it’s like ”Hey, it’s active, the whole zone, get in here and help them try and get their research, survive and push deeper into the different areas and survive the Djaradin waves” and kind of accomplish that together.
And then the other big culture that we’re going to meet down there is a brand new group called the Niffen, which are kind of like mole people underground. They love to dig. They love to sniff things out. They love to trade and barter, find things. And so the special activity that we built for them that will be a weekly activity you get to do with them, is called Sniffin Seeking.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
So you meet Merritt who’s like a happy little Niffen, but he’s sad because when Niffen go digging, you have to go out in a buddy system, right? You need to be safe. You need someone out there to help you get out of a jam. But his buddy can’t go digging with him anymore, so he’s looking for a new buddy. And hey, you the player, look like a convenient new buddy, so why don’t you try going on a dig with him?
And it’s a brand new activity and something we’re trying out for the first time here, where it’s a, it’s kind of, it’s almost like a escape room, kind of. You go with Merritt and dig underground and you pop out in a cave together. And it’s a contained little cave in there. And there’ll be some puzzles you need to solve, like, oh, there’s a treasure chest over there, but it’s caught in a bubble and there’s this thing you have to get by and you have tools with Merritt where you can use him and help sniff out clues or dig underground with him to bypass hazards. And so it’s like solving the puzzle of how do I get the treasure in this cave with these clues.
Every week you can go on some dives with him, explore new areas and kind of learn more about the area,  the Niffen, and the secrets that are buried underground in the zone, all sorts of fun stuff.
The Niffen are so fun. That’s like that’s really what gets me excited when we’re working in new zones right? It’s like when you go to a new zone and you start thinking about okay who would live here? What would they do? What would they care about and it starts leading in fun new directions like this right? We’ve never had the Niffen before, so like yeah of course they’re gonna dig underground and go exploring and they’re gonna love smelly cheeses ’cause they love smells and all sorts of fun stuff to try.

Expanding on the Niffen quests, how did you guys decided to make that a puzzle series of quests and are they like randomized? Is there going to be a set amount of them already created?

Josh Augustine: We started early on with actually how a lot of our concepts start, like a designer is just really excited about an idea. So when we started seeing the art come in from the artists about what the Niffen are gonna look like right?
We’re looking at this art, we start thinking ideas, and one designer particularly just got really excited about this idea of like, oh they’d go burrowing, like can we go burrow with them? What would we want to find, right? And so it started with just that nugget, but then like everything else you look at like this cool idea, “Okay, what’s the best way to express that idea in gameplay that’s fun for players?”
We’re always doing like looking for new things because we don’t want the special new feature to be go kill 20 bears in a cave with a Niffen and that’s it, because that’s not exciting. We want to try new things all the time, find new ways to surprise players.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
When we’re looking at what does it mean to go exploring in a cave, usually it’s the challenges you’re overcoming, trying to be safe, or trying to find something. You could do just exploring, but that’s more Dragonscale Expedition. Niffen who are traders, love looking for things and bartering, so they’re probably going down there to find something to scavenge.
This feature in particular, it went through a lot of iteration.  A lot of times, special features like this go through more iteration than normal. We’re trying new things, seeing what’s fun, what’s not, getting players on the team to jump in and play test. And then it’s great now that we’re doing these PTR cycles to be much longer and earlier. We got a lot of time on the PTR for people to give us feedback so that we could get player feedback and start iterating on that.
It was a lot of iteration going through, trying to find the right balance, to be honest, on what’s a fun puzzle. Is this a fun puzzle or that style maybe wasn’t as fun, let’s try this other style. This one people are loving, and we should do more like that.
There’s lots of different caves you can go through. By default, you’re gonna be able to do 3 a week. You can go with Merritt for free and do a cave, and then you can earn 2 more maps by doing the weekly trading with the merchants in town. And so you can get up to 3 a week where you can go do them, and those will be 3 different ones every week.

When we see Raszegeth free the other 3 dragons, we thought we would be fighting more in the second raid but there isn’t. Does this means that we might get more than 3 raids in this expansion?
Ion Hazzikostas: The number of major updates, number of tiers and expansion is a reflection of the shape of the story we want to tell, the places we’re going to visit. I think there’s, as we’ve seen, there’s many different approaches to the sorts of content we can deliver and the ways we can tell stories. I think that one of things we’re trying to do with Dragonflight is get away from just these big monolithic patches and have more varied updates like the 10.0.5 and 10.0.7 that we’ve seen before, that are going to come on the heels of Embers of Neltharion. And so we want to tell our story in ways more than just raids and raid tiers.
We also want to think about how we’re growing the world and the number of villains out there and the number of powerful characters out there. If every character we introduce that’s a villain that ultimately we defeat immediately, we’re not actually setting up the future very well, are we? We’re not really growing the number of threats out there.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
We want to get to a place, something we think about a lot from world building perspective, 20 years ago when World of Warcraft launched, we had this amazing catalog of villains set up by the RTS games, and we knew we could work our way up that ladder, and eventually we’re gonna get to face Kil’jaeden, and then eventually we’re gonna get to face Arthas and Deathwing and whoever else. Over time you kind of tick those off, and there aren’t that many left out there. And I think it’s something that we definitely grappled with in Shadowlands where it’s like, let’s invent someone new.
But as we’ve seen, it takes time to build them up, and so I wouldn’t necessarily assume that just because a list of Incarnates has been released that we’re going to go down the list, ticking them off one at a time and killing them all being back to square one and having no one left to fight at the end of the expansion. We want to set up threats that can outlive individual expansions when it makes sense.

We were wondering if you guys have any plan to change how Mythic Lockouts work, because in the current iteration, if one of the 20 PUGs leave, it’s really hard to find a substitute PUG to join us, and it essentially means the end of our raid.
Ion Hazzikostas: I understand the feedback and from a PUG perspective, it makes sense. It’s feedback we’ve heard. It’s not something planning to change in the short term. Though, part of it is a signal like Mythic difficulty out of the range of options, it isn’t intended to be PUG.
Now that doesn’t mean that’s not possible. Players especially layer in the tier and especially on bigger servers or once cross server becomes available, will do it. But out of the range of options where you have raid finder that is just solo queue up and do it. Normal and heroic that are meant for friends and family groups or pick up groups. And then like Mythic really is at its core the bastion of guild organized groups. You’re wiping a lot. Hopefully you’re carrying that knowledge forward so that after you learn a boss, you can quickly repeat it next time as opposed to having to relearn it every time.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
All of those things land themselves to building social bonds, wanting to find a group that you can consistently run with, even if it is on a somewhat varied schedule. One of the things that the rigid lockouts for Mythic do, is they also do make it a bit more of a commitment and a bit more of a bond when you’re joining that group. Whereas another difficulties, PUG wipes a couple times you might see people just bailing. They’re like “nevermind you guys are no good I’m out”. Well, if you’re like this, this is your lockout for the week. That’s a powerful incentive if you want that loot to stick with the group and see through what you’ve started.
I worry that we would lose a lot of those social sticky elements if we remove that. Now, of course, it would come with more flexibility, but that’s so often the trade off, the flexibility that can turn something into an easy experience that you just drop into, drop out of, also comes at the expense of the experiences and the ongoing relationship that makes friends and makes social ties and makes you want to add people to your friends list or maybe join a guild down the line.

While some of the addons for WoW can be helpful in making the visibility better, there are also some addons that feel a little bit out of the time. Where would you draw the line and say this isn’t allowed, and how do you combat it?
Ion Hazzikostas: There’s a few different angles to approach that form. We’re aware of all the addons such as WeakAuras and everything that players are going to use and make. We never designed assuming or requiring them, in fact it’s quite the contrary. We know players are going to use them, and we want to make sure that as many people’s possible can have a fun, accessible experience without them at all.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
We’ve made so many changes over the years to our in game interface, to have both visual telegraphs, but also things like big warnings on the middle of your screen or using energy bars on bosses to signal when the energy bar hits 100, they’re going to use their ultimate ability that you need to be ready for; so that you don’t need a DBM timer counting down exactly how long it’s going to be. We hear the feedback and we understand you shouldn’t require to use 3rd party tools or addons to succeed.
In terms of the player culture, if these things give any advantage, guilds and groups will require them. That’s something that we’re very mindful of, and so there are definitely places where we have drawn lines in the past.
We’ve changed our addon API to prevent things like attaching in world images to nameplates or knowing your exact position to make complex addons. There’s a difference between informational addons that are simply displaying information that’s already there in your client in just clearer way, so you can better understand how long your ability has left on cooldown or what is going on moment to moment.
Then there are addons that are actually computational, they’re trying to solve problems for you or your raid group. If something is designed to require coordination, but an addon can instantly look at these 3 people have this debuff, assign them these markers, star runs to star, circle runs to circle, no one has to talk, no one has to do anything, the addon has solved the problem for you. Thos are a real challenge, and that’s something that we have been trying to either both build things in to make them less impactful, but also look at changing what addons can do.
Image Credit: Activision Blizzard
In Embers of Neltharion, we have for the first time the ability to make certain boss mechanics invisible to addons. Which means that we’re using it very sparingly.  If there’s something we can do that we think would be a fun challenge, a fun puzzle for players to solve, but an addon is going to make trivial, we can use this tool to require players to work it out themselves, but also tune it accordingly. Even on Mythic difficulty, we can give you more time to react, more time to respond and help level the playing field there.
The last piece about visual clarity, there’s something we’ve really tried to stress and both our encounter team and our visual effects team have collaborated on this a lot. I think in the past, we want the fantasy of abilities to reflect what they are. That’s why if something is fire, well, we want that to not just be a hard red circle, but rather to look fiery, to look like it has the flavor of what that ability is.
If you’re fighting a fire elemental in a fiery space who’s using fiery abilities, by default, a lot of muddiness and lacking clarity and recognizing, yes, that’s a good starting point for us. But for raid encounters, where if you don’t see that thing and you stand in it, it’s going to kill you. Well, gameplay first is one of the values that our company lives by.
We need to make sure that we’re doing the right thing in terms of clarity. So whether that’s shifting the colour, having a harder outline to create more contrast, we always want to make sure that, if you make a mistake or something is going to threaten your character, it feels fair. It feels like you have the information to respond. That’s an ongoing thing that we focus on.

We would like to thank Ion Hazzikostas and Josh Augustine for taking their time in answering our questions in regards to patch 10.1 of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.

Hunt The Night, A Gothic Zelda-Like, Announced

Hunt The Night is an upcoming new zelda-like, featuring a gothic setting, cool abilities and large bossfights.

You’ll play as The Stalker, and you’ll have to use your dodge, as well as a gun and melee weapons to fight off hordes of monsters. The gameplay looks really similar to Hyper Light Drifter, in which you’ll use your dash to go from platform to platform in place of a jump.

The game is coming to both PC and consoles, although developers Moonlight Games and Dangen Entertainment haven’t clarified on a release date for the tile.
One of the big appeals in the trailer they put out was the pattern-based bossfights in Hunt The Night, being not afraid to mess with your sense of scale. The trailer ends with a really well-animated snake, and your character has to dodge through the boss’ beam attacks to target the person summoning it to weaken the boss.

On top of that it looks like the game will feature more focused levels, wherein you accept quests with a definitive end boss, almost like the setup for Monster Hunter. This is all speculation on our part though, as the developers didn’t elaborate more on the game outside of what was shown in the trailer.

If you prefer something more familiar, you’d likely find it in Item Mode, with power ups for yourself or debuffs galore against your opponents. You can play both these multiplayer modes solo, but you can also play with your friends as a Duo (two players) or as a Squad (four players).

Digimon Adventure 2020 Reboot Omegamon has an evolution sequence, and it’s great

Omegamon, otherwise known as Omnimon in the West, has received a full-blown evolution sequence of its own in Digimon Adventure 2020 Reboot. This occurred in the second-last episode of the series, titled “The Last Miracle, The Last Power”.

For the uninitiated, Omegamon is a fusion between WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, two Ultimate (Mega in the West) Digimon, partnered by the DigiDestined, Tai and Matt respectively. Omegamon debuted in Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! but didn’t have a proper evolution sequence. It merely showed both WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon forming the arms, before the body of Omegamon magically appeared.

In Digimon Adventure 2020 Reboot, Omegamon had a more elaborate evolution sequence, complete with a remix of the reboot’s theme song Break the Chain playing, further hyping up the scene. Fans could see everything from Omegamon’s toes and even its cape being formed as it makes its epic appearance. Surprisingly, this is not the first time Omegamon appeared in the anime, having first appeared as early as episode 2.
Digimon Adventure 2020 Reboot has one more episode before it concludes. You can catch the season finale next week on Crunchyroll. Next month, a new Digimon anime featuring all-new characters and Digimon, Digimon Ghost Game, will premiere on October 3, 2021.

YuGiOh Master Duel Players Are Killing Themselves To Farm For Medals In The Xyz Festival

The YuGiOh Master Duel Xyz Festival has started, letting fans compete with Xyz-themed decks for in-game rewards such as gems and tickets.

Rather than risk the ire of angry fans if rewards were only given to winners though, the event is nice enough to make it so you collect more medals for winning but still get them if you lose, as long as you don’t surrender.

YuGiOh fans, ever the crafty type, found a way to maximize their Xyz Festival farming in Master Duel- by killing themselves, with decks specifically tailored to knock their own lifepoints to zero on the first turn.
Equally reckless players won’t have to work too hard to burn out their own lifepoints, considering how many decks will incur lifepoints as a cost for activating their effects such as Solemn Judgment, who straight up cuts your LP in half or Toon World, that incurs a 1000 LP penalty to activate.

Yes, they even included The Fray
Of course, the community has found a way to have fun with this, even if this means they won’t get their Xyz duels. Some users have made what’s called “Emergency medic” decks, designed to constantly heal their opponents before they get the chance to finish themselves off.
It’s no surprise the community would react this way for any event that was built around number of games played to completion- YuGiOh is notoriously famous for players taking long turns, as each player wants to show off the full might of their deck through laughably extravagant combos.
Still, the existence of the medic counter-meta shows that the game’s community remembers what the game’s about- having fun, even if it causes you to deck out doing so.

Neopets Independent Again, Says They’re Transitioning Away From NFTs

The browser-based virtual pet game Neopets has announced that the IP and its development team, The Neopets Team (TNT) is now an independent studio once again.

This comes following the shutdown of their previous parent company Jumpstart Games, who themselves were owned by the Chinese developer NetDragon.

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

This was announced by the official Neopets Blog on Medium which says that the development team is now part of a new company called “World of Neopia” under new CEO Dominic Law. Law had previously led of NetDragon’s Neopets Metaverse NFT project while working at Jumpstart.
According to the blog post, Law pushed Netdragon to save Neopets after the decision to shut down Jumpstart Games and a management buyout deal was struct, allowing Neopets to act as an independent company once again. The team now wishes to revitalize the brand after it had been operating at a loss for over a decade.

“Until this point, Neopets has been running at a loss for over a decade, making it hard to enact any major overhaul; however, in early 2023 Neopets raised $4M in funding from various investors with plans to nurture a shared dream of an immersive, community-driven gaming experience. In tandem with additional funding from the management buyout, TNT has been primed to enact real, actionable change for Neopets. We truly want more for Neopians”!
“This magical community deserves to thrive, not just survive. Thanks to our new leadership direction and the fresh source of funding, it finally can. The Neopets Team is, for the first time in over a decade, equipped to make meaningful changes in pursuit of a Neopian renaissance”.
Despite Law being the head of the in-development Neopets NFT games and the brand receiving $4 million USD in funding from crypto companies, the developers (via PC Gamer) state that they will also be “transitioning away from” NFTs.
Instead, the company says that it will take the assets from the Neopets NFT Project and use them to create a new mobile game called “World of Neopets” which they say will not include any NFTs or Cryptocurrency.
“The Neopets Team has taken a close look at every nook and cranny of Neopets, and after doing so, the decision has been made to transition away from the Neopets Metaverse game and redistribute those resources to the development of a game that we feel can better reflect our values and vision”.
Aside from the new mobile game, they have announced that they will revamp the existing Neopets website by fixing bugs and restoring games that were taken down by the shutdown of Adobe Flash which the site previously ran on.
On July 20th a new homepage will launch for the Neopets website which includes a roadmap with more details on what content updates will be in store for the brand in the new future.

Tencent giving up on Arena of Valor in the West

Tencent has reportedly given up on Arena of Valor in the west. The game will still run but the company will no longer spend any effort or marketing dollars in Europe and the United States.

According to Reuters, a source in Tencent has said that the company will be “letting it live or die on its own course” when it comes to the two Western markets. The marketing teams in those regions were supposedly disbanded due to this decision.

Update: According to National Business Daily, Tencent has denied that the disbanding of the marketing teams for Arena of Valor in Europe and North America.
Arena of Valor has not been doing well in the West, as far as MOBA titles go. On average, there are only about 100,000 and 150,000 active users daily in Europe and respectively. The source within cited tensions with US-based Riot Games (which is now a Tencent Games subsidiary) and failure to understand the Western market.

Not everything is bad news for the west, however. Just last week, it was announced that Tencent and Riot Games is developing a mobile version of League of Legends. This will be able to replace Arena of Valor in the west, which may explain Tencent’s decision in regards to the game.
Arena of Valor first made its western debut in North America in 2017, while a Nintendo Switch version arrived in September 2018. If you want to try the game, you can download it here.

ASUS ROG Gaming Smartphone May Be Coming Soon

With the revolutionary smartphone for gaming by Razer, Xiaomi had also brought their technology with Black Shark to bring us another gaming smartphone into the market. However there has also been rumors of another contender that’s coming into the market back in March of an ASUS ROG gaming smartphone that could be revealed during the MWC 2018. Though ASUS revealed their ZenFone 5 instead, a smartphone dedicated for gaming by ASUS may not be just a rumor or be branded under ROG.

ASUS has been manufacturing smartphones of all tiers that some of them could just rival the specifications of a gaming phone. Take for example the ZenFone 5z that was introduced earlier during the MWC 2018. It has specs that rival both the Razer Phone and the Xiaomi Black Shark with Qualcomm SDM845 Snapdragon 845, Octa-core (4×2.7 GHz Kryo 385 Gold & 4×1.7 GHz Kryo 385 Silver), 8GB RAM/ 256GB ROM and Adreno 630. So even if ASUS decided not to make a dedicated smartphone for gaming branded under ROG, the ZenFone 5z could easily be categorized as a gaming smartphone along those that are already in the market.

Xiaomi Black Shark
Razer Phone
Asus ZenFone 5z
Though these are just speculations, there has been information regarding ASUS’s plans on making a smartphone dedicated for gaming. It may not necessarily be branded under ROG as interviews with Jerry Shen did confirm that a gaming phone can be “expected”. With their recent release of the ZenFone 5 series, they are already in the works of coming up with a new ZenFone line in the second quarter of 2018. Looking at the common specifications in a gaming phone, if you loved the ASUS ZenFone lineups, then the ZenFone 5z is one that can satisfy your photography and gaming needs.

According to the website, the new game is themed around “desire”, and “tells a new story of teenagers who have awakened the ability of “Persona Masks” who meet and get acquainted, face difficulties side by side, and grow under the background of “low desire”. The mysterious old man with a long nose, the strange underwater room, an owl that can speak human language, a world completely different from reality, these seemingly unrelated things are connected together because of a certain opportunity…”

Gameplay-wise it’s confirmed that like the original Persona 5, the main characters will live a double life, acting as high school students during the day and phantom thieves at night, summoning personas into turn-based battles with all-out attacks.
The Characters
Alongside the original phantom thieves, a few new characters have been revealed so far. Keep in mind these character names are rough translations and may not be the official English localized names (thank you for the translations Wanuxi).

There is the new protagonist, a second-year high school student at Kiba High who lives alone at home. His codename is Wonder and his persona is Janosik.

Arai Suwa is a second-year high school girl at Kiba High. She is a popular student who’s heavily into sports. Her codename is Closer and her persona is Awilda.

Luffy is a mysterious owl-like creature that can turn into a van. He possesses a calm and steady personality (they already sound ten times better than Morgana). His codename is Cattle and his persona is Rob Roy.

Update 17/03/23 – The new attendant’s name is Merope (again, this is a rough translation).
They have also revealed the design for the new velvet room attendant however they haven’t revealed her name. The Velvet Room in this game seems to take the form of an aquarium of some sort.
The game is being developed by Perfect World Games’ Black Feather Studio in partnership with Atlus and Sega. The character designs are being done by the primary Persona artist Shigenori Soejima.

We’ve compiled all the information we’ve found about the game into a Twitter thread if you’d like to learn more about it.

Celebrate Kiryu Coco 2nd Anniversary Draws Celebration From Fans And Even Other Hololive Vtubers

Despite having graduated in July, fans are still celebrating the 2nd anniversary since the debut of Kiryu Coco – arguably one of the most prolific Vtubers in the industry.

Coco debuted exactly two years ago today. with her laughably outrageous backstory about her being an idol to pay for accidentally crashing into Hololive HQ.

To celebrate the occasion, some fans have begun to dig out her first tweet- which was posted days ahead of her debut and way before anyone knew what they were getting into with Hololive’s foul-mouthed dragon Yakuza.
“Hey guys and girls and all human beings !!  nice to meet you! This is Kiryu Coco”, her first tweet reads. “This is an introduction to Holo Live friends! I’m studying human language and Japanese now, so please help me with this overflowing feeling. My main job is Dragon  Katagi Thank you”

Hey guys and girls and all human beings!!🐉はじめまして！桐生ココです。ホロライブ仲間に入門です！人間の言葉と、日本語、今は勉強をしていますから、あふれるこの気持ちを助けてくださいね。本職はドラゴン🐉カタギよろしくお願いしました🤲#桐生ココ#ホロライブ#Vtuber#拡散希望 pic.twitter.com/6mNes317aF
— 桐生ココ🐉ホロライブ卒業生 (@kiryucoco) December 25, 2019

Some fans are even writing heartfelt tributes to the Vtuber:
Haachama Talks About Kiryu Coco

Of course the most stunning tribute comes from within Hololive itself, as Vtuber Akai Haato aka Haachama had a surprise stream honoring Kiryu Coco.
During the stream, Haachama broke into tears listening to Coco’s original song Weather Hackers, blaming herself for the pro-China harassment that would go on to define the latter end of Coco’s career.
“If Haachama didn’t show the analytic accidentally, none of this would have happened”, she said in her stream last night. “Yet everyone in the Kiryu-kai (Coco’s fandom) didn’t blame Haachama and was able to accept her graduation and move forward”, she continued.
She’s referring to an incident on her own stream, wherein Haachama had opened her Google Analytics to view her viewers by country, and had Taiwan listed as a country. Coco shortly did the same during her own stream, which many pro-China zealots saw as intentionally provoking them leading to months of harassment and threats., often spilling over to any Vtuber that shared a screen with Kiryu Coco.
Kiryu Coco’s Legacy
It’s hard to understate just how important Kiryu Coco was for the Vtubing scene. Due to her bilingual nature (she speaks both English and Japanese), she was considered one of the first and biggest Vtubers to cross the gap and make it big in overseas communities.
She was also a prominent figure of the Hololive subreddit, fostering the community there by reviewing their memes on her weekly Meme review segment.
Just like Haachama, she was also challenged the idea of how far you could push content as a Vtuber- she famously had her morning show Asacoco, which parodied Japanese morning shows to the point of even airing at 6am local time.
While most idols tried to maintain some sort of pure image she did a hard swerve out of it, with one of her most iconic pieces of merchandise being a giant plushie meant to look like her tail with a butt plug on the end of it based on her Asacoco skit, which was supposed to dispense the Asacoco drug.
It’s not like her ideas weren’t rewarded, either. To this day, Kiryu Coco remains the number two most-superchatted YouTuber, second only to the still active Uruha Rushia from Hololive’s 3rd Generation.

Of course, the whole idea about this game involves you building rollercoasters from scratch, but if that is not your cup of tea (why would you even play this then?), you can use preset designs to speed things along. There are limitations given that this is a free to play title, but if you want the full RollerCoaster Tycoon experience minus the IAPs, you can consider getting RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 instead.

Google Stadia Shutting Down First Party Studios

Google Stadia is shutting down its first party studios, according to a statement by Google. Instead, the platform will focus on being a service to stream third-party games and Google will no longer develop exclusives internally.

The service, which originally debuted as a hardware-free way to play console games, was also set to have its own roster of first-party exclusives for the platform.

However, according to their blog post, they’ve had to since drop the idea of first party exclusives, citing growing costs as a reason.
“Creating best-in-class games from the ground up takes many years and significant investment, and the cost is going up exponentially. Given our focus on building on the proven technology of Stadia as well as deepening our business partnerships, we’ve decided that we will not be investing further in bringing exclusive content from our internal development team SG&E (Stadia Games and Entertainment), beyond any near-term planned games”, the post reads.

Jade Raymond, Motive Studios founder and head of SG&E,  has also since left Google, with no announced plans as of yet. Prior to working on the Stadia, she had an illustrious career at both EA and Ubisoft.
Those who think this is Google Stadia shutting down shouldn’t quite pop out the champagne just yet, since they’ve every inclination to keep Stadia going as a platform. As it stands, Stadia had its big moment where it was the only console reportedly running Cyberpunk 2077 with no issues.
According to the blogpost, Stadia and its premium service, Stadia Pro will continue to operate as a cloud gaming service. The only difference being that unlike the major consoles, this will be a platform without exclusives outside of the ones already slated for release.

Digimon Con will Be Streaming in February 2022

Digimon is holding a new event called Digimon Con. This is a brand new online event for Digimon fans that will see new content featuring toys, games, trading cards, live performances, and more.

The event will take place on the 26th of February 2022 at 17:00 PST (9:00 MYT). It will be streaming live from the Namco Bandai youtube channel.
Being a live event on Youtube, Digimon Con will be free of charge to watch. The event will have both live and prerecorded segments.

According to the official website here is roughly what is scheduled to be shown:

Digimon anime special planning segment
Digimon series game info segment
Digimon Vital Bracelet Series new info and special app-related planning segment
Announcement of the initial selection results of the Digimon Illustration Competition
Special live performance by singer Ayumi Miyazaki (singer of Brave Heart)
And more…

It should be noted that there will be both an English and Japanese version of the event, however, Bandai Namco has also stated that the “one portion” of the event will differ slightly between the two versions.
Now, this is personal speculation with no evidence of it being accurate but I think there’s a good chance that we could finally get some news on Digimon Survive at this event.
With all the rating boards appearances of the game including one from the ESRB, it seems that they are setting the game up to be released next year and a big Digimon-centric event like this would be a good place to show it off to fans. The event is set to have a “game info segment” as well. I have no evidence this will be the case but I think it is a strong possibility.
Digimon Con will go live on the 26th of February 2022.

Here’s All The Pokemon Currently In Pokemon Unite

We’ve compiled a list of all the Pokemon currently in Pokemon Unite, the elusive new MOBA featuring Pokemon characters. These are from the Canadian beta, whereby the APK of it was leaked to third party site TapTap.

As a beta Pokemon Unite has a pretty impressive roster of Pokemon, and it’s pretty clear that this isn’t meant to be all of them. During the first gameplay shown back in 2020, many more were shown that aren’t here, such as Clefable. We did also get to see some previously-unseen Pokemon, such as Cramorant.

Rather than have roles such as DPS or Tank, Pokemon Unite presents these more as specializations. These are like Speedster, for more mobility-based Pokemon, all-rounders for more balance and Support for Pokemon whose movesets well, support other characters. Characters are also split up into melee and ranged types, so you’ll want to pick the one whose playstyle best suits you.
Each Pokemon also has different attacks, which level up as your Pokemon progresses through the game. These are all built around the Pokemons playstyle, along with their Unite Moves which act as the game’s equivalent of Ults. They also have auto attacks, letting them blend into the MOBA style more.

It should be noted that not every generation has been represented in this roster, with Generation 2 (Johto) notably missing. While not a confirmation, it certainly leaves the door open for future units either at launch or in future updates.
Still, it’s nice to see that the game does incorporate more than just the usual familiar faces, having various B-tier Pokemon like Cramorant, Edelgoss and Mr. Mime. Even Crustle isn’t exactly the face of Black and White, so it’s cool to see these Pokemon that would have other appearances besides games like Pokemon GO.
