Forever Entertainment to release remakes of Square Enix IP

Poland-based publishing company Forever Entertainment will be releasing several remakes of an unspecified Square Enix IP.

According to a report from Polish news site Biznes, Forever Entertainment will be taking more than 50% of the revenue made from the remakes across all platforms. Thanks to this deal with Square Enix, Forever Entertainment’s share price increased more than 10%.

Currently, we can only speculate the Square Enix IP being worked on by Forever Entertainment. The report further also stated:
“The name of this IP will be made public in a separate report once the global marketing campaign begins. Remakes of all games will feature new visuals, but the gameplay and scenario will remain the same as the original version. Exact release dates for all games will be communicated in separate ongoing reports.”

As a giant in the world of console games, Square Enix has a huge library of games underneath its belt. Regardless, it is rather unlikely that the remake will be a Final Fantasy title.
Established back in 2010, Forever Entertainment is no stranger to video game remakes. Last year, the company published a remake of Panzer Dragoon on Steam and Switch. Panzer Dragoon is a rail shooter from SEGA which released back in the 1990s.

Report: We Asked Fans If The Nintendo Switch OLED Was Worth Buying

After the surprise reveal of the Nintendo Switch OLED, it’s safe to assume that a lot of fans would have opinions about upgrading their current Nintendo Switch models in favor of the new one.

However, contrary to the months of speculation, this new model wasn’t the Nintendo Switch Pro, instead not packing any kind of hardware upgrade outside of its OLED screen. On top of that it sports a heftier price tag, going to USD 349.99 up from the previous model’s USD 299.99. (We’re using the converted US prices rather than the regional prices, since that hasn’t been announced for the OLED model yet).

Related Posts

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

We asked 232 members of Malaysian-based communities on their thoughts on the new model, including whether or not they’d buy the new model. Thanks to the nature of the survey things like demographic information weren’t recorded, since we just wanted the general opinions on the new device.
To Upgrade Or Not To Upgrade?
Overwhelmingly, it looks like fans aren’t too hot on the Nintendo Switch OLED. In our marquee question an overwhelming number (53.4%) of respondents identified themselves as having already owned a Nintendo Switch, with no interest in getting a Switch OLED. While analysts like Danial Ahmad say the intent may have been to get outsiders into the ecosystem with the Switch OLED, our poll shows that may not work the way Nintendo had hoped since the second highest response was from people who didn’t own a Nintendo Switch (17.7%), but had no interest in getting the Nintendo Switch OLED.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Of course, there are gaps in this research- for one, our sample was largely taken from pro-Nintendo groups, ie people who would have more knowledge about the Nintendo Switch than the average consumer. Danial Ahmad’s comments seem to imply that the target market seems to lie closer to these people, rather than people who were already mentally in the Switch ecosystem, but hadn’t purchased one yet.

Similarly, we also asked Switch Lite Users specifically if they would be tempted to make the jump. After all, The Switch OLED is a marked step up from the Switch Lite, having dock access. The assumption here was that Switch Lite users would have bought in on the Switch Lite and partway through realized that they would rather a fuller-featured Nintendo Switch, complete with its namesake gimmick.
Unfortunately, at least among our readers, the answer was overwhelmingly negative (72.7%) , with Switch Lite owners very happy with their current purchase and having no desire to upgrade to the newer model. That’s not to say the prediction was overwhelmingly off, since the amount who said they would be happy to upgrade was still a significant amount (27.8%).
The Types Of People That Use The Nintendo Switch

Interestingly enough, asking for reasons as to why people would choose the OLED or the regular model paint an interesting picture of what the Nintendo Switch userbase is like.
Those who preferred the older model Nintendo Switch tend to display more technical knowledge, being able to describe specific reason for rejecting the new model. A common one for this was higher docked usage, meaning the OLED screen would be virtually useless since they’d be playing games on their monitor.
Similarly their reason for not getting the OLED model would cite the lack of any performance enhancements as a reason to not bother paying any attention to the new console. At least one respondent even went so far as to cite a specific distrust of OLED screens, saying they perform worse in the long run.
On the other hand, those who said they preferred the OLED model seemed to give more general reasons, most commonly “new is better”. The general assumption people who said they preferred the OLED model seems to be that because it was worth releasing a new model over, they would be willing to shell out the extra cash for it.
Surprisingly enough some respondents actually cited the reason they’d buy it as being the OLED screen, arguing that their games would look better in handheld mode vs the current Switch’s 720p screen.
The Dream Of A Nintendo Switch Pro
reportedly leaked image of the “Nintendo Switch Pro”, now debunked.
We also gave respondents room to describe what their ideal console announcement would have been, giving them free reign to describe their ideal features. A good number of respondents cited 4K output as being on their wishlist, with some wanting 4K output with 60fps.
Some respondents even mentioned less specifics, saying that they would simply be happy with any kind of performance upgrade on the handheld device.
Of course, many respondents also brought up the issue of Joy-Con Drift, which has been plaguing users since very early on in the Nintendo Switch’s life cycle. Outside of offering repairs Nintendo hasn’t released any kind of permanent fix for the issue.
Closing Thoughts

Overall, it looks as though what we’re seeing among the readers is that those with more detailed technical knowledge are less impressed with the Nintendo Switch OLED, having a clearer idea of what a USD 50 bump in price should bring to their console experience. However we’re also seeing that the Switch’s target market is very much persisting- more casual users, who don’t necessarily care about specs.
Of course, this research isn’t really exhaustive. This is a relatively small sample size, responding to a poll that requires some level of internet literacy to access. By the very nature of how this poll worked, there’s always a possibility that the results were skewed towards more informed consumers who would have negative reactions to the Nintendo Switch OLED.
Still, the vocal comments about the new console paint at least one picture that quality-of-life upgrades like the Game Boy Advance SP are getting a lot harder to sell, if nothing else because customer expectations are increased. People already in the ecosystem don’t see quality of life as too important a change to make the upgrade, unless part of that quality of life includes playing games better.

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut Review – To New Heights

Even without the Director’s Cut, Ghost of Tsushima was a good game. The dramatic story of Jin Sakai fighting off the mongol invasion of Tsushima was a lot of fun, letting you play a game with Samurai that weren’t doing Judgement Cuts. But due to releasing closer to the end of the PS4’s life cycle, there’s always the question of “but what could it have done if it was next-gen?”

It would have been better, that’s the long and short of it. With Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, we get a look at Ghost of Tsushima with a few extra months in the oven- a golden-brown thrill alongside a new adventure with the Ikishima DLC.

The New Adventure
With the Iki Island DLC, there was always the question of its appropriateness. For what its worth Ghost of Tsushima is a pretty solid story centering around Jin, so suddenly throwing in a new segment in Act 2 seems a little weird if you followed most games’ DLC structure. While Iki has its own ongoing story- another group of Mongols, led by The Eagle, show up, the side adventure acts as a period of reflection for Jin, dealing with the loss of his father earlier in the game.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

These aren’t just introspective monologues either, as you do play through some of Jin’s younger memories when he and his father visited Iki. I really like how they’ve done this DLC, since I wouldn’t call it necessary for the Tsushima experience, but it certainly adds more depth and flavor to the main story. Despite not having been part of the game’s story at launch, it doesn’t change the overall tone and reflection, and is great if you’re at all attached to the story of Jin.
More Things To Do
Of course, the other way they’ve leveraged the new hardware is by giving Ghost of Tsushima an injection of fresh things to do. From new enemies to flute playing to befriend animals, there’s lots to do in the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut. More importantly though, I like how they’ve also gone back and added more depth to what was already there- the grappling hook can now be used to open up new paths, while your horse has woken up and chosen violence, letting you start your fights on horseback.
Admittedly, I’m not too big a fan of the Shaman enemies, whose mystic chanting buffs other enemies, though that comes down to more of personal taste. I feel like buff-type enemies are poorly received at the worst of times, and adding them as part of a re-release tends to leave the taste of “you just added this to have a new enemy even though the old roster was nice already” in the mouth.

That being said, I am a fan of the new archery challenge, which grants Jin a focus charm. This charm slows down time while you aim with your bow, and makes a lot of fights (particularly against shamans) more manageable since you can create breathing room by slowing down the fight.
Better On PS5
As someone who used to study in this field, seeing a screen full of leaves without a picture of a well-done GPU next to it nothins short of miraculous to me
Of course, you can’t talk about a PS5 re-release and not talk about, well, how great it is on PS5. Despite all the new content Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut loads like a dream on PS5, which lets you get to the much prettier visuals even faster than before.
Naturally, Ghost of Tsushima also makes great use of the DualSense controller, dialing back the Haptic Feedback so that it never feels too gimmicky, but is always there to compliment Jin’s every action. Things like jumping from ledge to ledge and riding your horse all feel different, with a good amount of weight to it thanks to the vibrations coming off the Dualsense and the adaptive triggers. .
One other really nice implementation in the Director’s Cut for Ghost of Tsushima is the new Japanese lip-syncing. In our interview with the developers, they confirmed that one of the reasons this was left out of the base game was hardware limitations of the PS4, so it’s great to see it fully realized here thanks to the PS5’s SSD.
Aside from the usual Dualsense stuff there’s also a neat feature with the animal taming from earlier, where you use the motion controls to tune your flute by moving it up and down. Since the animal stuff isn’t actually story-required it’s really fun to just mess around with it, befriending all sorts of animals as Jin Sakai, Friend of Nature and Killer of Invaders.
There’s also a bunch of other minor quality of life features, such as the ability to hide your quiver, as well as a left-handed mode for those of you who’d prefer your controls horizontally flipped.
Closing Thoughts

Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is one of my favorite types of re-releases, where it really just opens up everything you love about the original. Consdiering the first game had few real gripes, it’s unsurprising that the Director’s Cut would carry that forward with its content that feels like it opens up more of the existing game rather than trying to add more to it.
Admittedly, if you’ve already beaten the whole of Ghost of Tsushima, paying extra for what’s essentially side content might be a bit of a steep asking price. Sure, it’s available as an upgrade but I can imagine there are players who won’t come back to a game after they hit credits on it, so what’s essentially just a new level and a pettable cat might not seem entirely worth it.
That being said, if you’ve any interest in seeing Ghost of Tsushima at its peak, definitely pick up the Director’s Cut. Ghost of Tsushima definitely felt like it was just short of being a next gen release, and Director’s Cut proves that although the base game was great on its own, the extra features really crank it up to an amazing experience.
Buying The Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut

Of course with any kind of re-release, there’s bound to be some confusion. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is available on PS5 and PS4, but some of the features are limited to the PS5 version such as the Japanese lip sync.
If you already own Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll be able to upgrade to the Director’s Cut, so you won’t have to buy the full game again. That being said if for whatever reason you missed out on getting Ghost of Tsushima, you can still get the Director’s Cut as a standalone release when it launches on 20th October.

Burning Crusade Announced for WoW Classic

World of Warcraft Classic has announced its first expansion, letting players relive the Burning Crusade in one of the most iconic expansions for the long-running MMO.

They made the announcement as part of the opening ceremony for this year’s BlizzConline, the totally-online edition of Blizzcon for 2021.

The return to World of Warcraft’s first expansion is slated for 2021, though no precise dates have been given. Those who choose to experience the expansion will be able to enjoy new flying mounts, as well as all the new content that Burning Crusade first brought when it was introduced to Vanilla WoW.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a trailer for Burning Crusade without featuring Illidan, the iconic Demon Hunter with his famous tagline about players not being prepared.

Blizzard says there will be a Beta soon for Burning Crusade, and players will choose if they want their characters to be able to go to Burning Crusade or stay in the truly vanilla WoW experience. It’s unknown if players who opt to stay behind can opt in at a later date or not.
On top of that, they hinted that it would not be a 1:1 re-release of Burning Crusade, with some possible quality of life changes coming to help bring the classic expansion into the modern era. They didn’t elaborate more though, teasing that they’d talk about the upcoming expansion more later in the event.
Burning Crusade is one of the most iconic expansions for World of Warcraft, next to Wrath of the Lich King. It had a spiritual successor in the much later expansion Legion, which also featured the same ending stinger of Illlidan returning.

[TpGS 2018] An interview with the Lead Writer of Far Cry 5 – Andrew Holmes

Ubisoft’s upcoming action-adventure first-person shooter video game – Far Cry 5 will be released on 27 March for PC, PS4 and Xbox One! Ahead of its release, we are lucky to be able to have a short interview with the Lead Writer, Andrew Holmes for more details on the game. Let’s see what he has told us in the interview!

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

About the background of Far Cry 5’s story
The story of Far Cry 5 is set in Montana, where the main villain – a preacher named Joseph Seed has established a militaristic doomsday cult called Eden’s Gate and violently forces the residents of Montana to join the cult. Andrew told us that they have been wanted to find a place that is wild and far away from the city while giving out dangered feel, and Montana kicks in their list. After checking out the place, the team immediately decides to set the background in Montana.

The concept of the villain is also inspired by their days in Montana. Hoping to inherit the Far Cry style in creating an attractive villain, they talked to the citizens in Montana and come across the story of the cults. Thus the idea of Joseph Seed, the leader of a cult is created.

Compared to the predecessors, Joseph Seed is a multileveled villain that has his own faith – he believes that he is the only one that can save the world from an “inevitable collapse” that will lead to the end of the world. For that purpose (to save the humanity), he started a small organization but unfortunately, most of the people tried to stop him thus leading him to go extreme.

About the Far Cry 5 map and features
Talking about the game map, Andrew mentions that the map in Far Cry 5 will be the biggest ever in the Far Cry series, not just the size, but the missions and event included in it. Also, every region has its own story and backgrounds that gives out a really different experience to the players. You won’t feel alone at any moment and this is definitely something players can be looking forward to.
Far Cry 5 features “Fangs for Hire” system that allows players to tame wild animals. We were curious to know if there are other wild animals for tame, and Andrew replies us that aside from Boomer the Dog, there are another 2 – Peach the Panther and Cheeseburger the Bear that you can recruit and let them fight by your side.

This time, the Far Cry team has been putting extra effort on the vehicles as Montana is a place that loves big-sized vehicles. You can find some really interesting vehicles in the game, you can even drive a plane owned by Nick Rye that is equipped with machine guns and bombs.
About the Far Cry 5 progression, allies and enemies
When asked about the estimated time needed to complete Far Cry 5 (main quests), Andrew responds with just a sentence – a very long time. He further explained it by saying that Far Cry 5 is an open-world game where you could go anywhere and do anything you want, but everything you do ties to the main story. Therefore, depends on your play style, the time required to fully complete the game differs.

There will be a resistance meter that acts as a progress bar, every mission you completed will fill the bar according to its difficulty level. When the bar fills up, you will finally be able to face the regional boss and once you defeated the boss, the region will be under your control. Then, a new resistance meter will set up when you reach the next region.
Your allies and enemies will also react differently according to your resistance meter. For example, more people will look out for you and offers to join your side as your resistance meter grows. While on the other side, your enemies will be more aggressive in hunting and attacking you. You will have to build up your relationship with the citizens (by helping with their quest or talk to them) in order to earn their trust before asking them to join your side.

In addition, Andrew confirms that Far Cry 5 will be having different ending based on your decisions and a multiplayer co-op mode too! Aren’t these excite you? These are all of our interview with Andrew Holmes, Far Cry 5 will be releasing in a few months time so get yourself pre-ordered if you are interested!

Modders had also reportedly talked to sadfutago, confirming that the user was playing a 1.0 version of the game (accessible only via an unpatched disc) and casting doubt on theories that this was an elaborate mod.

Yesterday, they’d posted an extended clip of going into the church, featuring a locked chest, as well as what appears to be a reference to Drakengard with a character with a flower blooming out of their chest.
Some have speculated the black figure that appears in the church to be the Shadowlord, and noting that the corpse on the altar has the same wrist ribbon as Yonah in the remake.
a corpse with a Lunar Tear blooming from it, with the only detail being the wrist tie that Yonah wears in the NieR Replicant remake
A black entity that sadfutago claims cannot be killed
A Possible Yoko Taro Announcement?
Given the cryptic nature of this discovery, some fans have taken to speculating the secret room in NieR Automata was a form of viral marketing for an upcoming announcement.
“This feels closer and closer to be some form of elaborate marketing , The Switch version is coming out soon , and they have 2P as a costume”, writes reddit user Flare3500x.

Eternal mystery… https://t.co/crCyL0hZQ3
— 齊藤陽介　Yosuke Saito (@SaitoYosuke_Z) July 26, 2022

It’s not helped by the fact that Yosuke Saito, producer of the NieR Replicant remake, also quote-retweeted the clip of the find, calling it an “Eternal Mystery”. He also commented on a news story of the door, saying it very much sounds like something NieR series producer Yoko Taro would do.
The case for the secret door being a form of viral marketing is a strong one- sadfutago translates to Sad Twins (imagery constantly invoked in Taro’s games), and the user’s reddit account has only been active for the past month and only posting in the NieR Automata subreddit.
Considering the NieR series love for messing with its fanbase, it’s completely in-form for this to be the leadup to a new announcement.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

In the long, long ago of 1992, Square Enix released the fantastic Romancing SaGa on the Super Famicon in Japan. The fourth ‘SaGa’ game, it revolutionized the series with its non-linear structure and innovative mechanics.
It was, as they say, a hit, and its influence is still felt on the series to this day.
13 years later, a remake was released for the PlayStation 2 in Japan as “Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song”and later in North America as “Romancing Saga”. This new version of the game was faithful to the original but featured impressive 3D visuals and some welcome features that made the adventure more approachable for new players.
Now, 17 years after that, it’s back again – and it’s bigger and better than ever.
What is Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered?
Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered retains everything that made the original game great. For example, it features the unique ‘Glimmer’ and ‘Combo’ systems, where characters can learn awesome new abilities in the heat of battle, the beautiful illustrations, and the wonderful soundtrack by Composer Kenji Ito.
It also features the series’ Free-form Scenario System, which lets you experience the story differently depending on how you play. You choose one of eight main characters, and as you explore the vast world, your actions and decisions will weave a story that is uniquely yours.
All that already makes the game a must-play for fans of classic turn-based RPGs, but this release adds even more.
The game now features remastered HD graphics, new quality of life features that make it easier and more convenient to play, and you can even expect some new elements too!
What platforms can you play the game on?
Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered will release for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, iOS, and Android this Winter.

The plot of Shattering Spectreglass begins in Dreamveil Overlook, where players will face another of Vesper’s personal Mirror of Mysteries. Shattering Spectreglass offers a window into Vesper’s memories, which are plagued by visions of Redmourne the Trivern, a mighty beast that can grow multiple heads and feeds on fear, siphoning his power from lost souls. Bringing down this winged behemoth once and for all is the only way to help Vesper escape her past.

Blightcallers are adept at dealing elemental damage, particularly Poison, and get further boosts to their elemental damage whenever they apply a Status Effect thanks to their Class Feat, Whisper of Rot. With this new class, players will have even more Multiclass builds to explore.
Additionally, new character creation options for your Fatemaker include a new Grim voice personality that provides a delightful doom-and-gloom demeanor. You also get the ability to further tweak starting stats thanks to four fresh backstories to choose from Nerfed by the Bunkermaster, Clownblood, Apprentice Barnacle Scraper, and Street Urchin Success Story.
New boss, four weeks of battles, and new loot

In the weeks following the launch of Shattering Spectreglass, the new big bad, Redmourne the Trivern, will recoup and regenerate his element-spewing heads, ready to terrorize with a swath of new attacks. With each progressively tougher version of this battle, new Legendary gear will be added to the loot table, giving players a good reason to return for rematches.
New legendary loot, including a wide array of fresh cosmetic items, can be rewarded from Vesper’s Wheel of Fate after players defeat Redmourne at least once, as well as random drops.
Expanding the endgame experience
Completing Shattering Spectreglass will add four unique level layouts and the Redmourne boss fight to the pool of Chaos Chamber, the endlessly replayable endgame of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. This will expand the myriad of combinations for your randomized dungeon, making each run that much more unpredictable.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Epic Games Store, and Steam.

Gravity showcases Ragnarok: Lost Memories, Project T at G-STAR 2021

Gravity has given closer looks at their other Ragnarok Online IP projects at G-STAR 2021, two of them being Ragnarok: Lost Memories and Project T.

RAGNAROK: LOST MEMORIES
via inven
Ragnarok: Lost Memories retains a look much like the original Ragnarok, but instead plays like a real time action card battler. The battles themselves are automatic, with you being able to influence things via your cards’ effects. The characters in your party likewise also have their own skills. As you might expect, it will require resources to play your cards, and you will also need to be wary of particular elemental weaknesses or advantages.

PROJECT T

Project T adopts a slightly different art style, and looks to work similarly to other 2D side-scrolling battlers like Cookie Run: Kingdom, Princess Connect! Re: Dive, Slime ISEKAI Memories and others. You can set your formation before the battle starts, after which combat will be done automatically. The elemental strengths and weaknesses will also be employed here, with 6 in this demo build. Additional strategy – besides unit positioning – is a “skill combo” system, boosting the effects of skills the higher your combo (from consecutive skill use) goes.
Neither of these titles appear to have an official website at time of writing. If you wondered what else the Ragnarok IP could be used for, well, here you go.

Mecha Anime AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline Taken Down From Bilibili For Allegedly Insulting China

The currently airing mecha anime AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline has seen controversy in China and has been taken down from the Chinese video and streaming website Bilibili. While there is no official reason as to why, according to 4Gamers, it is allegedly due to the series insulting China.

The anime was taken down shortly after the fifth episode aired this week.

AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline or Kyoukai Senki is a mecha anime taking place in a future where Japan has lost its sovereignty and is controlled and pressed by four major trade factions. The protagonist, Amou Shiiba, must now pilot a mecha called an AMAIM to reclaim and free Japan.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The reason for AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline getting taken down in China is due to episode five where the main characters go up against one of the factions named the “Asian Army”.
The Asian Army is shown oppressing the Japanese people with human trafficking and making citizens disappear. In this episode, they attempt to execute a group of Japanese protestors via firing squad, more or less for the sadistic fun of it before the protestors are saved by the Japanese protagonist.
From what I’ve seen the group is admittedly framed as cartoonishly evil with one of them even having pointy ears like he’s some kind of goblin.

The Asian Army’s uniforms and vehicles are colored Red, molded after traditional Chinese clothing, and use simplified Chinese characters. As a result, some Chinese netizens believe that the series allegedly insults the Chinese through these villain characters. Many netizens especially take ire with the fact that many of the crimes that the Asian army is depicted as committing were inflicted on Chinese citizens by the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.
Comments from Chinese Netizens regarding the series
AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline is a collaboration being Bandai Namco and animation studio Sunrise, known for making Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, and Love Live.

There will also be ‘Ravens’ in the game, a special race that can be attached to your character to improve certain stats.

It’ll only be available in Japanese for now, though judging by the opening of an official English Twitter account it’s safe to assume that an English beta is also in the works for a later date.
Don’t expect to do too much during the HoloEarth beta, however- Cover says that the test is strictly for server load, and you won’t be able to do much more outside of interacting in the game’s main lobby.

“On March 14th (Monday), we will conduct a functional verification test that also verifies the server load using the prototype version of the “Communication Lobby”, which is the gateway to “HoloEarth”. In this test version application, it is possible to operate the test avatar, move in the lobby, and communicate with other players using emotes and text chat”, the statement reads.
“Through this test play, various operation tests, load tests with a large number of people, system checks, etc. will be performed.
The operation results of this function verification test will be used as a reference for upcoming events in the lobby and various function development”, they add.

HoloEarth is a sandbox MMO built around the Hololive IP, featuring crafting, building and more.
It was previously shown off in a livestream, where players could use models based off of their favorite Hololive characters from big names like Shirakami Fubuki to even Hololive Producer A-Chan.

Rainbow Six Siege is Adding a Singaporean Operator In Its Year 7 Season 3 Update

Ubisoft announced that Operation Brutal Swarm, the third season of Rainbow Six Siege Year 7, will arrive on September 6th, 2022, and introduces Grim, a new Singaporean Operator.

Other additions include a new map, and Phase 2 of the new Reputation System bringing chat sanctions, match replay reporting, and more gameplay improvements.

Operation Brutal Swarm

In Rainbow Six Siege Operation Brutal Swarm, players will comb the site for intel with a new Singaporean Attacker called Grim, a master of survival and reconnaissance with military experience in stealth, security, and intelligence.
Grim
 His Kawan Hive Launcher fires a projectile that deploys a canister on the floor and releases a swarm of bee bots into the air. Defenders that pass through the swarm area reveal their location by a ping. Even after leaving the swarm area, Defenders will continue to be pinged until the bee bots run out of battery. Grim is a high-speed, low-health Operator, equipped with a 552 Commando or SG-CQB as a primary weapon and a P229 as a secondary weapon.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Alongside Grim, Stadium, a fan-favorite map, arrives at season launch as a permanent map. Featured during the Road to S.I. event, the map returns under a new name, Stadium Bravo, and gets added to the map pool in Y7S3. Utilizing elements from other maps and indestructible bulletproof glass, this map challenges both teams to develop new strategies due to the map’s unique layout.
Balancing and Updates

Major balancing changes have also been announced, including tweaks to Finka and LMGs. Players can also look forward to changes like the addition of impact EMP grenades to some Operators’ loadouts. Other changes include more weapon attachment options for players to choose from. Additionally, the recoil system has been overhauled with each weapon’s recoil adjusted, and recoil intensity increasing during sustained bursts. The recoil overhaul is exclusive to PC, with console players now having dedicated recoil updated for controllers.
Further balance updates for Dokkaebi and Rook are slated for midseason. Dokkaebi’s Logic Bomb now affects eliminated players, and Rook’s armor plates now grant Operators the Withstand ability if they are wearing them. Withstand allows Operators to self-revive with 20 health if they fall into the Down But Not Out state.

Gameplay updates for this season include changes to the Map Ban phase to display five maps instead of three, increasing map diversity while maintaining player agency for removing maps from the pool. The Tactical Map has also been updated to provide Attackers with more information to help them during the preparation phase. Attackers can now see a list of available Defender objective locations, with the floor map and objective locations displayed when discovered by the Attacking team.
In addition, the ability for players to report suspected cheaters is coming to the Match Replay viewer. Players can review footage from their latest games and report suspected cheaters while viewing their gameplay. This feature continues Ubisoft’s continual commitment to detecting and banning cheaters to create a fair environment for all players.
The Reputation System Phase 2
Phase 2 of the Reputation System launches later in the season to continue addressing player behavior improvements. This update introduces a new penalty for abusive text chat. While active, this penalty mutes repeat offenders by default to prevent hateful and abusive content in text chat. Muted players can still send and receive messages, but their messages will only be seen by players who choose to unmute them.
There will be a short grace period after launch for players to adapt to the new system. After the grace period, players who are found to have sent too many hateful or abusive messages will get an active penalty for 30 matches.
Nighthaven
Building on the introduction of Wolfguard in Year 7 Season 2, Operation Brutal Swarm gives the spotlight to another faction: Nighthaven. Career soldiers might view the Private Military Company as opportunistic and hostile, but that’s because its agents are very protective of it. Their services have a price tag, so Nighthaven often works for the highest bidder. This lets the company afford the finest military technology and weaponry, which can be an attractive proposition for Rainbow Six operatives. Finka, Pulse, Ela, IQ, and Smoke made a choice to leave Rainbow for Nighthaven, joining Kali, Wamai, Aruni, Ace, Osa, and their chief of security, Grim.
Finally, players who own a current Battle Pass will receive a 10% discount on all items in the shop. This perk is available for future Battle Passes as well. With the new Buy For A Friend Battle Pass Program, players will be able to purchase premium Battle Passes for others who don’t own one.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is now available to play on PS4, PS5, the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC which includes Ubisoft+.

Airborne Kingdom: The Lost Tundra Review – When The North Wind Blows

Developed by The Wandering Band LLC comes their latest free update for the Airborne Kingdom titled the The Lost Tundra which adds in a challenging new biome to the game.

We’ve previously covered the base game before and if you’re interested in checking that out, you can do so over here.

To those who are unfamiliar, Airborne Kingdom is a sky city builder where you have to manage and build up your airborne kingdom, all while you set out to collect resources and recruit workers to keep your kingdom in the skies. The overarching plot for Airborne Kingdom is that you are set off to unify the twelve ground kingdoms and bring peace to the world once more.
Airborne Kingdom: The Lost Tundra
The Lost Tundra is a free new update for Airborne Kingdom which adds in a new biome, new buildings and new story to the game as well as other Quality of Life features. Returning players will need to reconsider everything that they’ve learned thus far in order to stay afloat.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

While The Lost Tundra is accessible to players early on into the base game, but the developers have recommended that players should complete the campaign beforehand because I can tell you this that it’s pretty challenging if you don’t take the necessary preparations before setting off to the new biome.
As the name suggests, the new biome that the developers added into the game is a snowy Tundra region where the cold weather is harsh and unforgiving for those who lack preparation in terms of resources because one of the main challenges for this update is the weather and how it’s able to affect your buildings.
To get to the new region, players with a previous save file will get a message prompt indicating that the update is loaded in for you.
The Indicator gives players a brief description of the lore and also some hints of the things that you need to keep in mind if you’re planning on traveling to the new region. The things you have the keep in mind are that a lot of your buildings will be affected by the weather, so you need to maintain your kingdom’s Lift, Propulsion and Resource production buildings so that it won’t hinder your progress.
On top of the weather, players will need to stock up on Coal, Water and Food before heading off to The Lost Tundra as there won’t be any of those deposits available. So like a squirrel storing nuts in its mouth for the winter, you’ll need to stock up on those resources before it runs completely dry during your travels in the new region.
Once you’ve made sure that you’re all stocked up on the resources that aren’t available in the new region, you can head up to the far North part of the map where you should be able to see an entire region covered in white. While you’re still able to travel back to the previous regions if you need more resources, I wouldn’t really recommend it because the trip back can be very long and tedious.
From first glance, the new area is pretty big so there’s tons of stuff for players to explore and enjoy from this free update.
Entering The Lost Tundra
Once you head far North and see a desolate plain covered with ice, you’ve reached the Lost Tundra. The moment you step foot (or fly past considering you’re up in the air) in the new region, the game will once again notify you about the harsh conditions of The Lost Tundra and how it’ll affect your buildings.
At the same time, if you look around, you should be able to find a small campsite where it turns out to be a Frozen Encampment where they’ll give you a quest to find the lost explorers who went out to hunt for treasures but have not made their way back home.
This is how players will be able to start off The Lost Tundra questline and get access to one of the most important buildings for this update – The Furnace.

The Dropping Temperature
The cold weather will be a mechanic that is present only in the Lost Tundra where it will affect the overall efficiency for most of your buildings. The game will show if the player is under the effect of the cold weather from a visual indicator where the icons at the top of your game UI will turn light blue and have a snowflake icon over them.
There’s also a meter below your coal reserve that shows the different levels of coldness. The deeper you travel into the Lost Tundra, the colder the temperature will be and thus decreasing the efficiency of your buildings even further.

Bring Back the Warmth
To combat the challenges in The Lost Tundra, players will need the help of the Furnace. With the cold weather making your buildings less effective, the furnace is there to go against the laws of Mother Nature by making the buildings be back at maximum efficiency.
The blueprint for the Furnace can be purchased from the Frozen Encampment for 5 Relics and after researching it through the Academy, you’ll need a total of 10 Wood, 5 Glass, 5 Adobe, 5 Iron and 4 Active Workers for each Furnace. The Furnace will provide heat in a circular area and will affect the buildings surrounding it.
But with how the furnace will only affect the buildings surrounding it, you’ll need to plan beforehand on the placement of each of the production buildings in order to fully maximise its effect as well as avoiding spending more resources for any unnecessary placements as it does take up quite a bit of resources and the lack of Wood in the new region will make things harder than usual.
Since I was reusing an old save file to play through The Lost Tundra, the placements of my buildings weren’t taken into account of that so I had to spend a lot of time just to rearrange the placements by moving buildings and destroying pathways so that the important buildings are clumped up and be in effect of the Furnace.
Once you place a furnace down, there will be a visual icon of a thermostat where the buildings affected by the Furnace will show an orange colour while buildings that aren’t affect by it will stay light blue.
Quality of Life Features
Customisation
Along with the new update comes a handful of Quality of Life improvements to Airborne Kingdom, first of which is more customisability for your flying kingdom, where you’re able to change the overall theme, the metals, the lights, the walls and also the floor tiles of your kingdom.
And while the customisation is limited to the presets within the game, there’s still a hefty amount of them to look through. This doesn’t affect the gameplay whatsoever but it definitely doesn’t kill you to be stylish and it also allows players to give their own personal flair in the game.
There’s also four new buildings under the “Wonders” tab, those being the Sapphire Crane, Ruby Hawk, Topaz Owl and Emerald Dove. Having these will only unlock new customisation options.

New Modes
One of the feedback that was given for the base review of the game was the game wasn’t as difficult compared to other sim / strategy games. But on top of the new region, Airborne Kingdom also adds in a new Hard Difficulty of the game.
Another mode that was also added into the game from the free update is the Creative mode. As the name suggests, it give players a sandbox feature for them to check out all the buildings and customisation options since they’re all unlocked and you don’t have to worry about the inhabitants and their needs.
Verdict
All in all, the new Lost Tundra update for Airborne Kingdom is perfect for those who seek a challenge when playing through the game. The overall environment of the Lost Tundra perfectly encapsulates the barren and desolate lands as well as giving the game a lot more depth in terms of gameplay with the addition of the weather mechanics as well as the addition of the Furnace.

Nightveil Higanbana is a spirit who lives in the Sanzu River, disguised as a ferryman. The prayers and obsessions of the souls who crossed the river constructed her form and soul, and the lost souls became her flower foam. With this, a sea of flowers as bright as fire paves a Path of Flames. However, Enma, the Lady of the Underworld, could not allow this mere bonsai to continue to grow widely, so she set fire to the sea of flowers. Although the blazing fire burned up Higanbana’s flowers and leaves, it could not cut off the souls’ obsessions. The slumbering Higanbana still carries away the souls away by fulfilling their wishes, and is blooming again on their dry bones. Her original and most loyal servant, Odokuro, will surely watch over Higanbana and continue to listen to the souls’ obsessions.

This shikigami possesses three basic skills:
[Fallen Flower] Casts a red spider lily at the target, dealing damage equal to 100% of her ATK.
[Withering Blooms] Loses 40% of her current HP to cast 6 Nether Seeds at all enemies, prioritizing targets with fewer Nether Seeds, then she becomes Dormant. At the start of her turn, if she’s Dormant, she collects all the Nether Seeds (maxed at 3 stacks collected) and gains an equal amount of Nether Flowers. Then she leaves Dormant.
[Doom to Underworld] Orders Odokuro to wield his blade and attack all enemies.

Nintendo Considering In Coming Out With A “Nintendo Phone”

So, there’s an exciting news surfacing on to the Internet right now and that’s the “Nintendo Phone“. Nintendo is considering to take part in the smartphone market by coming out with its own smartphone. There’s no actual name for it yet so calling it “Nintendo Phone” seems reasonable.

According to some sources from Taiwanese electronic component suppliers, the gaming giant is currently in a debate whether to enter the smartphone market after all. Currently there’s no lead on their next move yet and news regarding to this matter is scarce. If they really do come out with one, the phone will mostly resemble the Nintendo Switch which will allow users to share game data between devices.

Looking at the current Nintendo games in the mobile stores, Nintendo might not develop a very high end phone. They might just develop a middle-range phone that will just run their Nintendo mobile games smoothly. But, imagine people playing some iconic Nintendo games on the phone itself would be really cool.
What do you think of it? Personally, I would love to see this happen and then maybe we’ll get to play an actual Pokemon game on the “Nintendo Phone”.

Initially, the anime’s official website confirmed that Attack on Titan‘s fourth season will only have 16 episodes. As viewers continued watching the episodes this season, it was becoming more and more apparent that Studio MAPPA will not be covering the remainder of the manga in the remaining episodes.
In 16 episodes, Studio MAPPA was able to adapt 26 chapters of the manga. With 23 chapters of the manga left to adapt, part 2 of Attack on Titan Final Season will likely take a similar number of episodes.

Tighnari VA Causes Genshin Impact And Greg Heffley Crossover

Following unsavory allegations, Genshin Impact have announced a replacement for Tighnari’s voice actor- Zachary Gordon, better known for his role as Greg Heffley from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie.

Gordon’s voicelines will be coming to the game as part of the 3.6 update, for the English dub.

Since the announcement, Twitter has been abuzz in celebration- partially because they’d removed the old problematic VA, but even more importantly because the meme train has no brakes.
“Proud to be born in the same timeline that lets me play as Greg Heffley’s fursona in Genshin Impact”, writes Twitter user Bwaap.

Some fans have even reported seeing the all-caps phrase GREG HEFFLEY trending on Twitter, largely in reaction to the Genshin Impact announcement.
While Zachary Gordon has obviously grown quite a bit since his Wimpy Kid days, that doesn’t mean those promo photos won’t still be used against him, such as in this one fan edit:

im still in denial. zachary gordon, GREG HEFFLEY as tighnari oml 😭 pic.twitter.com/brM9OGzk0z
— 🌿 mint (@mintflowerss) April 10, 2023

Of course, one of the most striking parts of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid is its cartoony illustrations, fully embodying the spirit of a loser in middle school, and fans made sure Tighnari got that same treatment, too:

what do you mean tighnari's new va is greg heffley himself. pic.twitter.com/xzfEYzQnyP
— NYX !! (ATSV 2X) (@rexlockley) April 10, 2023

‘But why stop there?’ some fans ask, expanding the gifts of the book’s visuals to other cast members of Genshin Impact.

— mach (@_maidoftrash) April 10, 2023

It’s always nice to see a community welcome a new voice actor- none of the jokes seem to come from any kind of malice, and both Tighnari and Greg are beloved characters by the Internet (even if one of them’s a bit of a sociopath).

Here’s an overview of the game:
Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the ancient land of Athia. Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched.
The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses. Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope.
Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

Other featured SR weapons in the banner include Scherzo (instrument), Toxic Snake Spear (polearm) and Shatterer (heavy weapon).

A new promotion also makes its way to the shop. Purchasing this promotion gives players the SR Nightmare, Rikone, Nine-tailed Rejection and 354 Twilight Crystals.
Recently, the game added the world chat feature as promised during the previous SINoALICE TIMES live stream. In addition, players can expect another crossover event to drop either this month or the next, based on the game’s roadmap.
