Design
Overall, the laptop features a pretty minimalistic design. The ZenBook 13 OLED UX325 review unit which I received from ASUS is in Pine Grey which looks perfect for the working professional. There is also the Lilac Mist colour option if you prefer that. The top of the laptop has a nice metallic finish, complete with a cool concentric design, emphasizing the ASUS logo.

Size-wise, the laptop is very compact, at 13.9 mm thin and weighing only 1.14 kg. You can fit in any backpack and there will still be space. Trying to carry it in one hand is also practically effortless. According to ASUS, this laptop is the world’s lightest laptop with OLED display, and I agree.
Like the ROG Zephyrus G14, the ZenBook 13 OLED also has the ErgoLift design. The back of the laptop is raised slightly, making it easier to type than a typical laptop. Furthermore, it helps with thermals a lot. In my entire time testing the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED for the review, it stayed cool even when I tried to make it run extremely demanding games.

Display
This is the number 1 feature of the ZenBook 13 OLED. The screen is seriously one of the best screens in any laptop, and the best screen you can get for a 13-inch laptop right now. In terms of visual quality, it is the closest thing to a Smart TV. The colours pop out very vibrantly and I can notice a big difference between watching a 1080p video and 4K video on YouTube. For other laptops, I can’t really tell the difference, but the ZenBook 13 OLED makes it really easy to tell the quality difference.
The MyAsus app makes tweaking the settings of the display very accessible. There is an option called TruLife, which is supposed to improve the visual quality and make things even more realistic, but when I turned it on, I couldn’t really tell the difference. The default settings are already too good, in my opinion.
In addition, there is an IR webcam on top of the display. The webcam lets you unlock the laptop with your face with facial recognition. The good thing about it is since it is IR (infrared), it can work even in the dark. I tried to use the laptop with all my lights off at night, and the webcam can still detect my face to unlock the laptop, which is very convenient.

Keyboard
Personally, the keyboard is rather decent. It has a backlight function with 3 different brightness levels. Note that there is no RGB, but that is fine considering that this is not a gaming laptop. The keys are soft and not the clicky type. It’s pretty comfortable to type, but probably because I’m not used to 13-inch laptops and my fingers are huge, I sometimes miclick the wrong keys. Like any keyboard, it’ll probably take some time to adjust to typing with it.
However, the trackpad of the laptop is really good. I like how it feels and it is pretty responsive. I didn’t encounter any issues when using it. It also has a cool calculator feature! Just tap on the top right corner of the trackpad, and a LED calculator will pop up that basically acts as a NumPad. I didn’t really use this feature much, but I can imagine users who do a lot of calculations will find it useful.

Connectivity
For the I/O ports that come with this laptop, the left side has a HDMI 2.0 port and two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports (both can be used to charge the laptop). The right side has a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port and a MicroSD card reader.
If there’s one thing that I dislike about the laptop is that it does not have an audio jack. The box comes with a headphone jack to Type-C adapter, but it still wastes a port when you want to use it.

Audio
I was shocked by how good the ZenBook 13 OLED’s audio is. It is really clear and the sound is really nice. There are speakers at the bottom, but because of the ErgoLift design, the sound can travel very easily.
For such a small laptop, the sound can also get pretty loud at maximum volume. Overall, whatever movie or video you are watching, the audio quality is pretty much perfect. The only thing that can make it better is good headphones/headset.

Battery
According to ASUS, the battery can last up to 13 hours. I browsed the internet and typed a few documents on the laptop, and it lasts over 10 hours for me, which is still pretty long. Playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive from max battery drained it to low battery in around 3 and a half hours of playing, which is a pretty solid result.
You can charge the laptop with the Type-C adapter that comes in the box. 1 hour of charging can get the battery from empty to just over 60%. Not the fastest charging laptop in the world, but still pretty good.
Gaming Performance
Breaking the boundaries of performance for thin and light laptops, the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® Iris® Xe graphics offer an unmatched speed and intelligence that makes your experience fast, smooth, and easy.
The ZenBook 13 OLED is NOT a gaming laptop. Our review unit only uses an 11th gen i5 core, has 8GB RAM and an Intel Iris Xe Graphics card. Do not expect to run DLSS and ray tracing any time soon.
Regardless, just to see how it performs when it comes to gaming, I tested Outlast, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Ghostrunner to see how the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED held up for this review.

At very high graphic settings, the laptop can run Outlast pretty consistently at 60 FPS. It will very rarely drop to 40 FPS, but overall, gaming experience is smooth.

I played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at the default high graphics settings. In the map, Dust 2, the laptop was able to run the game between 30 – 50 FPS. This is the best it can do. You can still play and have fun, but obviously playing competitive FPS on the ZenBook is not the best idea when there are other laptops that have 4 times better FPS with higher screen refresh rate.

The last game I played is Ghostrunner, and at high graphics settings, it cannot really run the game smoothly. FPS is between 15 – 30. Since this is a fast-paced action game, it is almost unplayable. You can still play it, but you will not have fun due to the choppy frame rate. Can’t really blame the laptop, though, since it only has i5 core and an Intel Graphics card, which is below the minimum specs.
Overall, the laptop stayed very cool, even when playing games that it was not strong enough to support. As long as you are playing games that meet the required specs, it should be fine.
Benchmarking
Besides gaming, I ran several benchmarking software on the ZenBook 13 OLED. Here are the results:

PCMark 10 gave the ZenBook a 4,565, which is pretty okay for a work laptop. You can expect to handle all of your work tasks properly, maybe except for heavy video editing.

For 3DMark Time Spy, it isn’t that good, which is to be expected. Being able to run Battlefield V at less than 20 FPS is pretty accurate.

For Cinebench, the Multi Core performance was ranked at number 10 while Single Core performance was ranked number 3. Overall, it is a solid work laptop.

Closing thoughts
The ZenBook 13 OLED is a really unique work laptop that has a lot of features you can’t get in other laptops. If you want a work laptop that is also great for watching movies and videos, I really recommend this laptop. Its special LED NumPad and IR webcam are very cool features to have.
My only complaint about this laptop is the lack of a headphone jack. If you can live with the audio jack dongle that comes in the box, then this is the perfect 13-inch laptop for you, especially if you want a good work laptop that can also watch movies.
The ZenBook 13 OLED is priced at RM 4,299. There is also a RM 4,799 model of the ZenBook 13 OLED that comes with 11th gen i7 core. Visit the product page on the ASUS website to learn more.

It goes without saying that these are most definitely placeholder dates—Bandai Namco has not provided a specific release date for the game. Also, note the lack of cover art for the game, as well as the ESRB rating. It was recently confirmed that Digimon Survive will have an ESRB rating of T for Teen.
As a result, we strongly advise those who wish to purchase or preorder Digimon Survive to be extra careful of where they plan to get the game from. Given the current lack of information surrounding the game, it’s best to wait for more details from Bandai Namco. Digimon Con will be happening next year on February 26, 2022 and chances are, any information or announcement regarding Digimon Survive will be made there.
While English-speaking fans have no choice but to wait for Digimon Survive, word of a new China-exclusive Digimon game, Digimon: Source Code has already been announced.

Dragon Quest Walk announced for Android and iOS

We mentioned last week that Square Enix planned to release a Dragon Quest mobile game. Well, here it is! Dragon Quest Walk has just been announced for Android and iOS. The launch date expected to be within this year.

Dragon Quest Walk is an AR RPG (Augmented Reality Role Playing Game) that turns the world around you into a Dragon Quest adventure. It’s similar to Pokemon Go in that it uses your phone’s GPS to build an in-game map for you. Basically, your surroundings will be displayed as a typical Dragon Quest environment on the screen.

In this map, you get to walk around to look for items and monster encounters. The combat is turn-based and the monsters are all from the Dragon Quest series. It is also worth noting that key landmarks in the real world may become story or quest markers in the game.

The home feature is another neat little mechanic. It lets you designate a location such as your house as a ‘home’, which then becomes an in-game home that you can upgrade and decorate as you like.

We still don’t know any exact launch details, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for any updates on the game. In the meantime, you can view the full post-stream video here.
Update: There’s now an official website where you can check out some of the game’s features. You can also apply for the closed beta test. However, the test is limited to people living in Japan’s Kanto region.

Mobile (in)hospitability – Frostpunk Rise of City dev interview

Depending on how you look at it, Frostpunk being made available for mobile devices is hardly surprising in the current “gaming climate”. The society survival game sees you manage the citizens and infrastructure of the last city on Earth, as you get thrust into situations where there may be no “right” answer. The PC version is considered “finished” now, most recently teasing a new title with news to come 12 August.

Here we are now, with the partnership of 11 bit studios and Netease Games developing Frostpunk Rise of City, the mobile version of Frostpunk, where we briefly catch up to the devs about the adaptation in this interview.

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

You’ll be able to select from two modes, Endurance Mode and Serenity Mode. Endurance Mode is likened to the PC version, tailored more for core players of the original game, or those looking for a challenge. Expect to face a harsh and disaster-prone environment, and to juggle difficult living conditions well enough to not get overthrown by unhappy citizens.
Serenity Mode on the other hand, leans closer to Endless Mode, with a more manageable city and inhabitants. The devs consider this mode to be more suited to a larger majority of players. You still won’t be able to completely avoid bad weather, but at least it’s relatively mild and easier to recover from as you build up your city. You’ll also be able to find more NPC-themed storylines, and “basically will not fail”.

As you might expect, the move to mobile means making the necessary changes. The devs express surprise that details regarding simulating snow ground texture, light reflection, melting snow and the like – things people would probably consider as fluff – wasn’t very demanding on mobile hardware, so that can be left in. For optimization purposes, a few things were listed among others:

Number of faces of building models
Number of building effects
Number of full-screen particle effects

As an example, some buildings have been reduced to 20,000 faces from 100,000, while having the effect more or less remain the same. Besides that, there will be dynamic adjustments to said effects, be it post-processing, light sources and such, made accordingly to the device it’s running on. While not going into specifics, the various gameplay changes introduced from the expansion releases for the original PC release will be referred to as the mobile version is developed. The UI will be tweaked for the platform, though examples weren’t given for this aspect either.
The devs say that almost all phones from 2015 onwards can run Frostpunk Rise of City. It’s a free to play title, with all resources available to be obtained through the game. Good for those who just want to give the game a try in either Endurance or Serenity mode, which you can freely switch between. As discussed through their FAQ, things such as social features will be put into consideration, but will not be made a core part of the game.

An alpha test is expected for later in the year, and pre-registrations for the game are open through the official website. That’s all the time the Frostpunk Rise of City devs had for our interview, so see you next time.

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time Review – A game for the fans of Little Witch Academia’s anime series

The localized version of Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is launched for PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam) recently! The side-scrolling action JRPG was available in Japan since last November, and now Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia is bringing it to the global market. We are pleased to be able to enjoy the game so here is our Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time review!

The story
The game features an original story based on the popular Little Witch Academia anime series, where you will follow Akko and her friends into the Luna Nova Witch Academy. It is the first day of the summer vacation, but Akko got herself into troubles again and is punished to clean up the school’s library. Akko, along with her friends, Sucy and Lotte accidentally discovered a hidden room that sits a mysterious clock.

Akko touched the clock which it leads to a strange phenomenon – the day starts repeating itself over and over. Together with her friends, players will need to help Akko to investigate and find a way to return the flux of time back to normal.

Gameplay
Fans of the anime series might be familiar with the characters already, and if you are new, the game does provide a brief introduction to the main characters so you won’t felt left behind. There are two distinct modes featured in the game – the adventurous 3D mode where Akko wanders around in the academy to solve quests or progress the storyline and the dungeon crawler 2.5D mode where Akko and her party consisting of 3 characters will battle monsters.

You will be given plenty of quests (storyline or side quests) in the 3D mode that most of them require you to find something or someone. Certain NPCs only appear at a specific time so you will have to take advantage of the infinite time loops to reach the right place at the right time with the right items (if you missed the chance, wait for tomorrow and try again!)
It might sound interesting but as you played it for few hours, it turns out to be tiring as there are tons of similar quests that repeatedly direct you to someone else. The map and radar system is confusing to use, yet some of the quests don’t give a clear instruction. For example, your quest is to find an item, but you have no idea where the item is so you have to search everywhere and ask everyone around.

On the dungeon crawler part, you will be able to take a party of 3 formed by characters of your choice (you can leave Akko out of the team, but noted that there will be no EXP for the characters who are not included in the party). Every character has their 3 basic attacks with different skill sets and customizable spells so you can adjust your team according to the condition. EXP points earned can be used to upgrade the characters as well as progress their abilities with the cool Horoscope-based skill trees.

A series of rooms are connected together in the dungeon, where you will meet a great amount of well-animated monsters, plenty of traps and boxes of loots in it. Battling through the dungeons are fun at the beginning, but again, you will feel exhausted as you progress through the game.
You are only allowed to control one of your characters in the party while the rest will be AI-controlled. Here comes the problem: the AI partners are so dumb, they will frequently wander off from where they are supposed to stand, wasting their skills by attacking thin air or even fail to heal themselves when they are in low health. Your journey in the dungeons just gets harder thanks to your AI companions.

However, you can still find some really good aspects of the game – the cutscenes, characters, and their voice-acting are awesome. The game features exclusive and fully Japanese-voiced cutscenes by Studio Trigger, while the characters are lively and charming. The conversations between the characters are interesting (fits their personality) too!

The Review

                    Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time

6
Score

The story, characters and dungeons are beautifully presented, but unfortunately the repetitive gameplay and technical problems can't be ignored too. Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of the series, and if you are not, looking away might be a better choice.

PROS
 Charming characters Fully-voiced and interesting cutscenes A great variety of customization options

CONS
 Repetitive quests Confusing map and radar system Dumb AIs

S.H MonsterArts Zinogre Announced

Tamashii Nations, who produce all forms of action figures in Japan have announced the S.H MonsterArts Zinogre , a poseable action figure based on the popular Monster Hunter character.

The figure sits at an impressive 28cm length, making it almost a foot long so you’ll need to clear out some space to display it. It doesn’t come with an action stand, though it does come with a plastic base to make it look like it was roaming a familiar locale from the Monster Hunter series. It’s currently slated for a July 2021 release, although some stores have it scheduled for later.

Similar to their previously released Nargacuga and Rathalos, this figure features an impressively detailed sculpt, and will allow you to recreate various iconic poses from the game with it.

Like any good collectible figure, the S.H Monsterarts Zinogre comes with optional parts, letting you swap out the talons on its front and back legs with different options.
One interesting thing they’ve done with the figure is to use semi-translucent plastic for the fur. In theory this should make it look a lot better in photographs, even emulating real fur under certain conditions instead of having that weird plastic feel.

The figure isn’t available for pre-order officially yet, though sites like Big Bad Toy Store have opened up their own pre-orders, putting the figure’s price at USD 127.99.
Zinogre is one of the fan-favorite monsters, having been one of the most anticipated returning monsters in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.

Crafting is a major part of Crossout, to gain more powerful upgrade to weapons, armour and other parts. You can make or salvage them with different rarities attached. You’ll want to ride into missions to get the blueprints and materials for Legendary or Relic items to get the best stats for its class.

Once you’re built up, you can check your vehicle’s power score and Durability to determine your readiness for battle. Keep an eye on your Energy which you’ll need to power y our movement and weapons, and Tonnage for the number of parts your vehicle can safely carry. Exceeding Tonnage in weight will inflict a Speed and Acceleration penalty.

Dive into the missions to fight teams of eight players for resources, or go Raids for PvE to test run your machine on AI enemies. Raids have objectives that will require players to work together for victory. Brawls are PvP daily rotating events , from Races (guns are disabled), Free For All (first to 10 kills), and Storm Warning (a Free For All variant with a powerful environmental hazard). Guild vs Guild is where valuable Uranium can be earned, and a Battle Royale mode is where parts and weapons can be obtained as you out-ride and out-destroy other survivors.

Genshin hits $400 million revenue in first 2 months

With the arrival of Zhongli, Genshin Impact continues to rake in the profits, hitting close to $400 million in revenue in its mere two months of service. The numbers come from Sensor Tower, estimating $393 million in revenue within the time span. That averages to a staggering over $6 million earnings per day. In its first month, it managed to topple Honor of Kings, and while it has ceded the throne back to the original king – hah – it’s still no less an impressive feat in getting people to spend.

Bear in mind, this $400 million figure for Genshin is for mobile only, so who knows just how much PC and PS4 players have already cashed in too. As far as the breakdown goes:

China remains the largest market

Over $120 million / 30.5% of total revenue

Overseas spending accounts for ~$273 million / 69.5%

Japan makes up about $98 million / ~25% revenue
United States is at around $74 million / 18.8%

Including South Korea, Genshin makes to top 5 grossing mobile game in revenue since release
Apple transactions make up over $226 million / 57.5% of revenue, with Google Play purchases trailing at almost $167 million / 42.5%

In the coming months, we’ll see how miHoYo can maintain such a profitable venture, which itself is already astounding considering the brand new IP. With a new version update in the near future, that’ll be something to look out for.

MSI Stealth GS66 (12UGS) Review- Like A Sleek, Elegant Sports Car

Nowadays, portability is almost as important as the actual function of a laptop, yet the two always seem inversely proportionate: the more portable a computer, the less likely you’d be able to do advanced things with it.

That’s not so much the case with this year’s MSI Stealth GS66, however, which brings a lightweight frame as well as the cutting edge of gaming technology for a package that will let you game anywhere, be it your personal gaming crib or even out and about.

At RM12,999 though, is this laptop worth its asking price? Read on and find out:
A Well Made Suit

Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

I gotta say, it’s hard to not be in love with the look of the MSI Stealth GS66. Unlike the more showy lines like the GE Raider series, the Stealth’s lack of bright LED strips betrays a certain elegance about it. There’s a reason why black suits are so popular, and this laptop gets it. It just looks slick and clean, enough that your coursemates might not even realize this was the same machine you were using to dominate at Apex Legends.

It’s more than just a visual thing, too- this totally plays into the portability of the laptop. At 2.2kg, even I, in my gym deprived state, could carry this around without getting winded. If you’re the type that feels both the need to do high-end gaming and also be outdoors, the MSI Stealth GS66 has you covered. Heck, it’s easy enough on the hands that you could easily even open the lid with one hand- if you’re in the business of suddenly being asked to look something up on your laptop with a shortage of tables in the vicinity, the GS66 Stealth will totally be perfect for your lifestyle.
And while the laptop is free of any giant lighting effects on the outside, the same isn’t true on the inside- its keyboard sports per-key RGB lighting which you can customize, a nice touch for anyone who wants to show off their uniqueness. I gotta say, one other nice detail with the keyboard is the actual feeling of hitting the keys. While it feels tactile, it’s not too loud- you don’t have to worry about unnecessarily drawing attention to yourself with loud clacking, be it from writing important emails or practicing elite Street Fighter combos.
As for the display, there’s not much you can really say about it that you wouldn’t expect from MSI- 15.6 inches and 1440p display make this excellent for gaming, and the 240hz refresh rate means you’ll really want to enjoy games with uncapped framerates like Monster Hunter Rise.

One thing I should commend MSI for is the fact that all the ports are on either side of the laptop, rather than the back. While it’s definitely because of the smaller size of the Stealth, I do prefer having my ports on the side- since that means not having to stand up and do the jiggle of shame when you need to unplug HDMI cables and the sort.
Game In HD… And Silence

Of course, what good would a gaming laptop be if it didn’t run games? Most portability-aligned laptops tend to stumble here, often prompting you to sacrifice quality for the ability to lug your machine around without having to do stretches first.
That’s not so much the case with the GS66- sporting the RTX 3070 Ti, 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, the laptop’s more than prepared to handle even the most demanding of games, and play them in more than just powerpoint formats.

Even more visually demanding games like Days Gone or Horizon Zero Dawn run flawlessly here, outputting well above 60fps without compromising on the visuals. Heck, we ran Horizon on Ultimate settings and 1440p resolution at 72fps- all on a laptop that requires less hands to hold than my pet.
I’m especially fond of how it runs Apex Legends- 90fps is a great framerate for a fast-paced FPS, and it does all this without sounding like you were on the runway of a busy airport.
On the benchmarking end the MSI GS66 Stealth ranks pretty well with its contemporaries, which you can see below:

Closing Thoughts

The MSI GS66 might very well be one of my favorite laptops releasing this year. Even though I’m more of an all-day-plug kinda guy, the laptop’s huge 99.9Whr battery makes it so cafe hoppers can go extra long even without access to a power outlet, and the laptop’s overall slick design just screams cool.
At RM12,999, you’re absolutely getting your money worth- all the strength of a top-tier laptop combined with the portability of a tinier one is a tempting deal, and if you’re in a field that has you opening up your laptop on the go I couldn’t think of a better machine for someone upgrading their setup this year. As someone going to more fighting game events, it’s definitely a tempting deal, since a portable laptop like this would be great for your setup, letting you practice or challenge anyone, anywhere.

Chris Hemsworth Says He Was Lit On Fire “Seven to Eight” Times On The Set Of Extraction 2

Chris Hemsworth was definitely the hottest man on the set of Extraction 2, at least physically, in an interview with him and the director of the Netflix movie.

While talking about highlights during their process, Chris Hemsworth joked that being lit on fire for the prison scene in Extraction 2 was a clever way of keeping warm in the snow.

“I enjoyed lighting Chris Hemsworth on fire”, said Sam Hargrave, director on Extraction 2.
“[I] Enjoyed it because it was snowing, so I was like, light me up, it is freezing”, Chris added on.

Sam also clarified that it roasting the actor wasn’t a one-and-done deal, with them doing it multiple times for different takes.
“I think we [lit Chris on fire] seven or eight times. I think it was, yeah, eight, I think”, he says.
Chris even explained the methodology for treating one of Hollywood’s biggest stars like a Wicker Man:
“We’d have this flammable liquid over my jacket. Everyone had to be very quiet set. They’d light me and a few people on fire and in action and by the end of the sequence I think I punched throat kick. If you guys, the instruction was if the fire is not out because it should burn off by then, just put it out yourself”, he says.
While it may have been laughs during the press conference, Chris had earlier acknowledged that the whole stunt was a risky process, owing the spectacle to the risk.

“I’m over it now, but it was terrifying. But I think we all knew. You know, the elevated risk was going to give us an elevated performance and elevated effect I think for an audience”, he said.
Sam also expressed his gratitude to the team for their trust in his vision, saying Chris Hemsworth and his willingness to immolate for art were necessary for the vision of Extraction 2.
“I think watching Chris put himself on the line day after day, like lighting yourself on fire for for all of you, it wasn’t just because he was cold out, it was for all of you. I think that deserves a round of applause”, he says.
Image Credit: Netflix
That wasn’t the only highlight of their production, though- Sam and Chris were very particular that the “wonder” of the movie was its biggest selling point- highlighting another setpiece on top of an actual train.
“I feel like I answered that the same way in the first film because that was probably what we were most proud of. This is even bigger and larger and more exciting and and there were more variables and larger component of risks as well. When we’re, you know, I was on top of the train, the train was moving it, on what speed?”, Chris asks.
“We’re 40, 50 miles an hour, like it’s moving”, Sam continues, before elaborating that the train was, in fact, a real object and not a stage setup.
“It’s snowing. We’re in the Czech Republic and there’s a helicopter about 20 feet in front of me flying backwards”, he adds.
He even elaborated on the whole herculean task, showing it was just as hectic behind the camera as it was doing the stunts on the train.
“Probably one of the craziest things we did on Extraction 2 was land a helicopter on a moving train”, Sam said.
“That was probably the most difficult shot for me because I was operating the camera and I don’t know if you have been under a helicopter trying to keep itself off the ground.”, he explains. “There’s a lot of force that allows that bird to fly and walking under that’s like walking into a hurricane. So to to walk along beside it, we’re close enough where I could reach out and touch the pilot. We could have high-fived if we wanted to. That was difficult. That was a difficult shot to, you know, not get blown off the train”
Chris even chimed in to elaborate that the helicopter was in on the stunt too, with six guys having to disembark from the vehicle before the Helicopter takes off.
Image Credit: Netflix
“For Chris though, like he he also, you know, that was a difficult shot, but he and I did this kind of interesting little dance and it seems simple, like the shot doesn’t seem as complicated when you see it in the movie”, Sam continues.
“But after that when he shoots down a helicopter, we had to do this little dosey dough on the top of moving train and it was so cold”, he explains. “It’s below 0, just the temperature, air temperature. But then you’re moving at 50 miles an hour and the winds blowing and you feel your about the face is about to fall off”.
“We had to do this little dance and he had to act up there like a, you know, stone cold killer. And I know all they wanted to do was like get something around my face. I’m freezing. But I think that was one of the hardest things. I mean, I know that we did together because the chopper was right in front of him. We had to dance around on a moving train. It was wild”, Sam closes.
The comments come from a press event for Extraction 2, the follow up to the original action blockbuster starring Chris Hemsworth based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Andre Parks.
Extraction 2 releases on Netflix on June 16th,.

Exclusive Review – We played the demo for King’s League 2 by Kurechii Games!

Kurechii Games’ recent games such as Postknight and Tiny Guardians has been well-received among the mobile gaming community, and now they are bringing us a new mobile game called King’s League 2! It is a sequel to King’s League: Odyssey, a flash strategy game launched back in 2013. We got the chance to have a small talk with the producer, YiWei as well as trying out the new game’s demo on LEVEL UP KL 2018, so check out the details below!

Different from King’s League: Odyssey, King’s League 2 has put its focus more on the storyline, making it a single player experience with a full written story. The game tells the story of young Maxwell who left his hometown to join the league. Players will be able to follow his adventure while making new friends throughout the story. This time around, there will be a pretty female character to guide the players through the tutorial too.

The game still uses a real-time battle system, a few in-game “days” will be used up when you perform a recruit or training. After recruiting some units, you can start to battle against all kinds of different opponents to reveal more area on the map. We noticed that there are plenty of interesting details added to the game, for example, some units might respond you with “Why?” when you assign them to read (one of the training options).

Also, Yiwei tells us that this time they are adding active skills to the units, where players can release the skills for good use during battle. However, the skills are only available once in a battle so you will need to use it wisely.

The team has put a lot of effort on King’s League 2‘s music as well. The game is having a richer variety of soundtrack than its predecessor, the music change according to the situation offers a more immersive gameplay experience too. Although we couldn’t showcase its music in our gameplay video above, we do love the game’s fascinating soundtracks while we are trying out the demo.

In short, King’s League 2 is a game that you can look forward to, as it features a really interesting gameplay that is even better than its predecessor. Yiwei mentioned that they haven’t decided on whether it will be a premium or free-to-play game yet, but it will probably be a premium game following the footsteps of King’s League: Odyssey.

The Great Ace Attorney 2 is now out for Android and iOS

Capcom has just released The Great Ace Attorney 2: Ryuunosuke Naruhodou’s Resolve for the Android and iOS platforms in Japan.

As with previous games in the series, the first episode is free-to-play, with additional episodes costing JPY 720 yen, with a total of five episodes in total. You can also get your hands on a costume pack which will set you back JPY 120.

As you may already be aware, The Great Ace Attorney 2 was first launched for the 3DS in August 2017 in Japan. The two games in this spinoff series have never made it to the west, and as such it is unlikely that we will be seeing the mobile versions being translated either.

[PMCO SEA FINAL 2019] An interview with Team Secret after they qualified for PMCO Global Final Prelims

The PUBG MOBILE Club Open (PMCO) SEA Finals are successfully held in Jakarta last weekend, which we saw RRQ Athena from Thailand crowned as the champion, bringing home a total of USD 30,000 prize money. One of Malaysia’s representatives – Team Secret also managed to secure their place in top 4 and be granted a slot to the PMCO Global Final Prelims in Berlin. After the event, we are lucky to have another chance to interview Team Secret for their thoughts on their achievements.

According to BiuBiu, they get more nervous on the second day and this somehow affected their performance (compared to the first day’s). Moreover, their “play safe” strategy doesn’t work that well so they feel fortunate to secure their slot to Berlin.

Talking about their plan in the future, they will be training more in order to understand the game even better. The team also expressed their appreciation to their fans for the continuous support and promised to never let the fans down.

“Panda has heard the concerns of the Smash Committee and is taking immediate action. Alan is no longer CEO, effective immediately”, the statement reads.
They also announced that the upcoming Panda Cup Finale would be postponed, and the organization would be issuing refunds to affected participants.
This follows an explosive row where the organizers of the Smash World Tour said their event would have to be cancelled, as the Smash Bros tournament circuit was unable to get approval from Nintendo, who are officially partnered with Panda Global.
According to them and corroborated by other sources, Dr Bunney was personally going around getting tournament organizers to withdraw support for the Smash World Tour, including broadcasters like Beyond the Summit.
“[Panda CEO] Alan spent several months basically running a protection racket telling TOs including BTS “It’d be a shame if your event got shutdown for being unlicensed” in an effort to scare them into signing onto the Cup. BTS will absolutely never participate in a circuit led by Alan”, says Beyond the Summit founder David Gorman.
Following the allegations Panda Global issued an earlier statement, which fans criticized as not really saying anything meaningful despite being a solid wall of text.

What soon followed was an exodus of talent from the brand, as players sponsored by Panda Global publicly denounced the organization and quit, while non-sponsored players also announced they would no longer be attending the Panda Cup Finale.
In the updated statement, Panda Global has said they intend to support players who are resigning, including releasing them from any contractual obligations.

Blade & Soul: Revolution

Blade & Soul: Revolution was first announced on November 2017. The game developed with Unreal Engine 4 will be a mobile MMORPG that was made based off the PC version. So players can expect to find familiar gameplays on mobile from the PC with a new feature, a territory war. Since then, not much details were revealed yet but it was stated that the game is still in-development and should be released this year.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

The Harry Potter franchise has been huge where there’s even a Harry Potter fun-land, a place you can spout magical incantations and not be looked weird. But besides that, we all know that Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery was developed by Jam City which has already soft-launched in selected countries. However in the 4th NTP event, it was announced that Netmarble will be publishing the game in South Korea with license rights from Warner Bros.

Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments RPG

You heard that right! The Seven Deadly Sins is getting a mobile RPG based off their latest season of the animated series. The game will put players playing the main protagonist, Meliodas, taking on tasks as seen in the anime. Of course there will be other side quests as well since it is going to be made as an RPG. However there’s not much info released upon how the actual gameplay would be like.
King of Fighters: All Star

The King of Fighters: All Star is a game by SNK but it was never published though it was revealed back in early 2017. Sadly it was announced along with another KoF game for the mobile, King of Fighters: World back then. Which unfortunately drowned King of Fighters: All Star to the point where no one had actually talked about it even though it was revealed in an SNK event in South Korea. However now Netmarble has revealed it as part of their games line-ups to be published this year in 2018.
StoneAge MMORPG

You might have heard of StoneAge Begins that was also released by Netmarble. The dinosaur catching, training and battle game was released since 2016 and it is still in the market. Now with another title based on the IP, StoneAge MMORPG, will be more than that. Although there was no info on the game, the game is meant to bring nostalgia to old players of the title in a massive world of dinosaurs.
Seven Knights II For Nintendo Switch

Seven Knights is one of the popular RPG for the mobile by Netmarble and they had revealed the making of Seven Knights II for the mobile back in October 2017. This time instead of a normal mobile RPG where you tap your heroes to unleash their ultimate skills, it will be a mobile MMORPG where players get to play characters from the original Seven Knights lore. However Netmarble wishes to extend the game onto the console platform as well starting with the Nintendo Switch.
Icarus M

Another mobile MMORPG that was revealed back in Netmarble’s G-Star 2017 event, Icarus M, will be slated for 2018. Based off the PC version, Riders of Icarus, the game will feature all the beautiful action and animal riding (if you’re into that). Developed with Unreal Engine 4, it looks really beautiful for the mobile as seen in the demo during the G-Star convention. Like most MMORPGs, there will be multiplayer boss raiding and PvP. While the game has already shown us gameplays since 2017, we are still expecting for an official release date of the game.
BTS World: Cinematic Game

For those K-fans out there, here’s an eye-candy for you! Netmarble may have answered some of your prayers over the months and they had finally initiated it with BTS (also known as Bangtan Boys) to collaborate for a mobile game. The game will feature the band (of course) in a cinematic world. Players will be raising the BTS boys (probably as their manager) which is accompanied with over 10,000 photos and 100 video clips only available in the game. BTS actually took the photos, acted in videos and recorded the OST just for the game. So clench those cheeks girls and be patient. *wink

Now here’s the kicker – all these games are slated to be released this year, though no mentions of dates and months. As mobile games releases are usually announced within the week of its release, it may even be delayed if the company stumbled upon unforeseen issues. So let’s hope that there will be no issues during development that could hinder the release and wait for more updates!

Nagoshi Studio Inc. Unveiled as Yakuza Director’s New Studio

Nagoshi Studio Inc., a new subsidiary of Netease has been established in Tokyo, Japan. Toshihiro Nagoshi, the former producer of the Yakuza and Super Monkey Ball franchises, has taken up the post of Representative Director and CEO of the studio, alongside many experienced developers.

The studio will focus on developing “high-end titles for worldwide release, with a primary focus on the console software business”.

At the end of last year, Toshihiro Nagoshi announced that he would be leaving Sega and the Yakuza development team Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to join Netease and lead his own studio. Nagoshi Studio is the result of this transition.
Nagoshi Studio Inc. will enjoy the “full authority” to manage and create the kinds of games that they are passionate about, with support from Netease. Based on Nagoshi’s message on the studio’s website, it seems he’ll be sticking to his roots in developing triple-A high-quality console software.

“There have been sweeping changes made to how content is produced in the entertainment industry, in terms of how it’s made and the business model that supports it. These changes are happening at a greater speed, thanks to the advances in technology and infrastructure.
However, NetEase Games and Nagoshi Studio both believe that what people want from entertainment hasn’t changed one bit. People see their dreams in entertainment; they look to it to give them hope in their everyday life, to soothe them in difficult times, and to add excitement in happy times. People look to entertainment to provide the spark for all kinds of events in their life.”
NetEase Games says that they and Nagoshi studios share the same goal, to “Unleash the Potential of Creators” in an open and inclusive environment.
International audiences have been warry of Nagoshi joining Netease due to the stigma of Chinese studios only publishing low-quality mobile games.
Netease and Nagoshi Studio Inc.’s statements however seem to have been made in response to this, promising that the veteran director’s new studio will deliver the same high-end console titles that he has always been known for.
I personally look forward to what Nagoshi and his new team are going to make and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
