Donut County Comes To Android

Physics-based chaos comes to your Android devices as the popular game Donut County heads to the platform. The game was previously available on iOS during its initial release in 2018.

In the game, you play as BK, a raccoon with control over a moving sinkhole. While you originally start off just using it to steal trash, the game has the hole grow bigger as you continue through the game.

The game is actually pretty story intensive too, as BK falls into one of his own holes and has to confront the residents of Donut County, who are all not pleased with being trapped underground.
As the hole gets bigger, you also get the ability to spit things out after swallowing them. You’ll use this as well as other environmental quirks to your advantage, as the game’s gameplay consists of using the hole’s toolset to solve puzzles.

The hole also starts off each level as small, and you’ll need to consume more to get it big enough depending on what you want it to interact with. What starts as a donut-sized hole will eventually grow big enough to eat even the giant donut statues in town.
You’ll also get the chance to explore the homes of Donut County, learning more about the game’s cast of characters.
Donut County is available on iOS and Android as a premium purchase. The game is available for USD 4.99. Additionally, it’s also available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Ex Astris: A story about a hero’s journey (and the friends they make along the way)

IGN Japan has released a short interview from the concluded Tokyo Game Show 2021 event, regarding Ex Astris. Since the game’s initial reveal, there hasn’t really been news on the title, understandable when the development team has been clear on it being only in the prototyping phase. Nonetheless, there can be some interesting things to learn. At TGS 2021 itself, there were no playable builds besides the demo showcase videos.

The price has yet to be decided, but Hypergryph had apparently decided on a paid title due to the belief of growing demand. From the demo videos, it can give the impression of the game isn’t just “meant” for mobile, with the sense of scale and its direction hardly unusual for a console or PC title. There’s no confirmation if it will be available on other platforms, though it seems that Hypergryph will prioritize mobile development.

At present, the turn-based combat has elements of real-time action games, in parries and counters. Exploration also seems to be a key component in the game. Only the basic combat system is in place at the current stage, with other systems such as levelling are being worked on, so the exact “variety” of gameplay can’t be confirmed. There are plans to include features such as cooking, alchemy and other subsystems, so we’ll have to wait how that turns out.
Calling it a “hero’s journey”, the protagonist is a researcher from Earth who will travel this alien planet with the friends they meet along the way. The clothing design is meant to express a certain measure of the setting, incorporating the character’s individuality while also having fashion to match. It seems that the alien language is based off our real world’s language – possibly even dead languages – in a fusion with geometric and fractal shapes for the murals you may find. Seamless transitions between battle and exploration is being looked at, besides also making combat smoother.

Of course, many people would associate likely associate Hypergryph with Arknights. Ex Astris is being developed by NOUS WAVE STUDIO, a newly established branch under the company and hence, a different team from the tower defense game.
In any case, stay tuned for more information on Ex Astris; it’ll be out when it’s out.

ROG Ally Designer Wong Ding Chuen Talks About What Makes the Upcoming Handheld Gaming PC Worth Your Attention in Interview

With the ROG Ally coming out sometime in July, we had the opportunity to speak with Wong Ding Chuen the designer of the ROG Ally, as well as Andrew Chan the Senior Manager, PR & Marketing (Systems Division) at ASUS in an interview.

Wong Ding Chuen – Lead Designer of the ROG Ally
Wong Ding Chuen has over 10 years of product design experience across several companies such as Singapore electric vehicle startup Skev Motors, and design agency Next of Kin Creatives, before eventually becoming a Senior Industrial Designer in ASUS. Meanwhile, Andrew Chan is a technology market specialist with experiences on different sides of communications, which led him to his current position at ASUS as a Senior Manager for Public Relations and Marketing for over 7 years.

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

Grips and Accessibility
We started the interview off by asking Ding Chuen about the ergonomics for the grips on the ROG Ally, and he revealed that in the development process, ASUS conducted many rounds of having gamers test their various forms of habitual grips while handling any sort of handheld consoles.
“From the start of the project we explored various scenarios that people will use the Ally in: like sitting down, lying down on the sofa, etc. And, it was a very “iterative” process. Every time we created a draft model – either from foam or 3D printing – we would always get people to try them for comfort, and everybody was pretty excited with each new prototype.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

With each new iteration, the project team would come together: Product managers, engineers and software specialists – many of whom were “pro” gamers with others being more casual gamers. And all would provide their feedback about their grip preferences which we would then feed back into the refinement of the design.”
Ding Chuen also mentioned that there were many variables to take into account, such as how you rest your palms while handling the Ally, the placement of the joysticks, and such. So there was no easy way to go about catering for all scenarios; and that the team went through many testing sessions until everyone was satisfied.
In addition, most of the verbal feedback from the handheld games community mentioned that users tend to prefer a “docked” mode – with the device connected to power, with video output to a monitor and with a wireless controller; as compared to using it handheld.
The Battery Balance
“When it comes to the balance between the chassis size and weight versus the battery capacity, I think it really depends on the user scenario and what kind of habits or playing styles you have.” said Ding Chuen.
“I mean obviously you’re going to get a handheld device. Our battery is similar to the Steam Deck. That being said, a user will probably not play continuously for 8 hours to 10 hours on it. Many would play it while waiting during activities like commuting or at night. For example, a father I spoke to recently said he would play on his handheld console for 45 minutes to an hour, which is sufficient for the device to be charged in between such periods of use.” he concluded.
Ding Chuen also talked about the Armoury Crate program that allows users to control various options, such as frame rate limits, to extend playing time. He also brought up the fast charging time of the ROG Ally and the multiple modes such as Turbo and Performance modes, which ROG hopes to encourage people to play more on the go.
Convenient Software Settings – The Key to Battery Balance
The battery life is probably one of the biggest concerns people would have when it comes to handheld devices. We asked Ding Chuen how ROG found the balance between the battery life of a compact device and wanting people to play for long periods of time.
He mentioned: “Again, we have to evaluate the device as a whole. The size of it matters a lot for ergonomics and portability, but with this size comes some challenges for the grip size and also for the battery capacity. “
When we were designing these aspects, the most interesting behaviour that we noticed is that people kept looking at the settings. Like how the Steam Deck provides an optimal set of settings for a particular game to allow users to play it for a longer period within an acceptable performance range.
So we concluded that it was really all about the software and how easily one can control the settings to suit their playtime and playstyle. Let’s say you have a 2 hour journey; you can  tweak the settings to provide more battery life. But say you only have a one hour journey, you can then afford to turn on the turbo mode for better performance.”
Ding Chuen says that Ally allows users to quickly tweak their settings – which is unique to a handheld device, and that the key was to provide convenient access to quickly modify these settings.
Thermal Management
Another question we brought up was about heating, and how that was the number one concern for players when playing AAA titles, and if ROG made any special design considerations to make sure people would not feel too uncomfortable when it started heating up. “I think our thermal team did an excellent job. In fact, I think ASUS has one of the best thermal design teams in the world. We are very careful where we place our suction vents and the vents that expel heat. So for the Ally, we direct exhaust away from the vents and through the top in a diagonal airflow to make sure that the heat does not reach the handle area.
And I think we were quite successful. When I play the Ally, I don’t feel the heat until I touch the top. Although it is quite hot if you intentionally touch that area, I totally didn’t notice it when I was playing.
So in a way, you could say that the actual play experience is prioritised. You can’t stop the device from getting hot, but you can stop it from burning someone’s hands while playing.” said Ding Chuen.
Final Design of the ROG Ally
We asked Ding Chuen whether there were any ideas that the team wanted to incorporate but ended up missing from the final version, and were there any ideas that had to be cut at the last minute.
Ding Chuen said that there were many ideas but in the end, it still depended on what they felt users needed and how ROG prioritised the weight and overall experience. For example, the idea of incorporating a kickstand was dropped in favour of achieving the weight target which they felt was a bigger priority.
And with the second part of our question, Ding Chuen said that there weren’t any last minute cuts as the development process was really well planned and most of the evaluation process occurred during the early stages. He also mentioned something interesting about a “Version 2” of the ROG Ally.
“We are looking at market feedback now and definitely, the things people are saying about the Ally. We have to do our own homework to filter out real users rather than just everything on the web which is a free for all and often, you can’t understand their context and why they’re saying certain things. I think this is a start of something new for ASUS and definitely something we continue to pioneer.
On that note as well, I think because when you’re dealing with the PC community, there’s always the question of modability, like this community is something that loves to personalise their devices, so in future we can consider mods or replaceable parts on the ROG Ally.”
Andrew Chan chimed in by saying that modifying consoles with 3D printed parts or using third party controllers are commonplace among enthusiasts. But as a global product, the Ally has to appeal to all sorts of gamers. And as a company, ASUS can’t allow everyone to open up the device and start modifying the joysticks.
Andrew also mentions that modding the Ally will void the warranty as ROG officially doesn’t support 3rd party. But as the Ally gains popularity, there should be more people modding it.
Andrew also said that everything about the Ally has the fingerprints of ROG, from the cooling system to the cooperation with big partners like AMD and Microsoft. He says that it took a brand like ROG to work with such big partners to make this device become reality for the mass market.
Ding Chuen continued by saying from many perspectives, because of a brand like ROG they were able to have business partnerships with AMD, Microsoft and Best Buy that allowed them the confidence to do customisation and modding a PC into a handheld form.
VR Compatibility
VR Games are certainly gaining popularity within the gaming community, with titles such as Half-Life: Alyx and the more recent Horizon Call of the Mountain. With that in mind, we asked Andrew and Ding Chuen if the ROG Ally would be compatible with VR.
Ding Chuen said that given that the ROG Ally is a Windows device, the handheld would be compatible with VR. Andrew continued by mentioning that current immersive VR titles require very high processing power, and that it would strain the battery of the Ally if you attach a headset on it. He said that looking at the current state of technology,  they don’t expect the VR to be run as a totally wireless handheld gaming experience yet.
Go to top
We would like to thank both Wong Ding Chuen and Andrew Chan for taking the time to answer our questions about the ROG Ally. As of time of writing, there has been no exact release date for the ROG Ally, aside from a July release window.
Additionally, we also had the chance to try out the ROG Ally, and if you’re interested in our thoughts do check out our review here.

Anonymous;Code Launches to PS4 and Switch in Fall 2021 For Japan

At that time, the 4,294,967,295 seconds limit of the digital standard clock engraved inside every computer in the world from the year 1900 overflowed, and led to a disastrous situation where every defense and attack system malfunctioned.
Like God’s hammer, the roar of the military satellites that rained down to the earth annihilated major cities around the world in the blink of an eye.
New York, London, Shanghai, Moscow, and then Shinjuku. The dawn after such a large-scale disaster was called the “Sad Morning.”
Is this really humanity’s judgment? If that’s the case, who is this person to judge?
Or is this no more than just a prelude to further disaster?
During this indication of unrest, the curtain is raised on the story of Anonymous Code. The setting is Nakano, Tokyo, the year 2037.
“—Hack God.”
Anonymous Code is set in 2037 and revolves around an “Earth Simulator” created by the supercomputer “Gaia.” After humanity successfully recreates humanity on “another Earth” generated within the computer, the computer-made humanity soon created its own Earth Simulator, leading humanity to question its own existence.
Since the game is being developed by the same guys who did the Steins;Gate video game series, it’s same to expect a visual novel game with some good written story plot as well as interesting characters and unique setting.

Customization has been a big part of Gundam’s appeal to more mainstream audiences, as a lot of the Gunpla marketing in the past 10 years has been centered around the idea of being able to freely customize your kits. This started with both the Gundam Breaker series as well as the Gunpla Builders manga, both of which were centered around the idea of purchasing Gunpla kits and building them to your own specifications.
Bandai took this a step further with the Gundam Build Fighters project, which has spawned multiple anime as well as a recently announced live action web series. Similarly, newer kits have been more welcoming to modification, as Bandai has even released optional upgrade packs.
The announcement was made at the inaugural Gundam Conference, where Chief Gundam Officer Koji Fujiwara announced the Gundam Universal Century Development Action.

Sony’s solution to PS5 shortage is to make more PS4s

The rare PS5 is hard to come by due to the global semiconductor shortage, but Sony revealed that they’re tackling this by making more PS4s.

Earlier today, Bloomberg confirmed that “increasing production orders by adding the cheaper-to-make PS4 would also give Sony more leeway when negotiating with manufacturing partners for a better deal.” By producing more PS4s, it will help to offset Sony’s PS5 shortage by adjusting the demand. The PS4 also uses less advanced chips, is easier to manufacture and is less costly compared to the PS5.

According to Sony, PS4 production is set to continue throughout the year and there are no plans to stop making the console. Initially, the company’s plan was to make a quick transition to the latest hardware. While the ongoing pandemic did help to make gaming more popular than ever, game development has slowed down and the demand for hardware components have skyrocketed, contributing to the elusiveness of the PS5.

On top of that slower-than-expected rate of production for the PS5, there is also the added issue that is scalpers, making it difficult for customers to get the console from authorised dealers and retailers. In Malaysia for example, PS5 scalping made national headlines when the authorities got involved to settle a dispute between two unauthorised dealers.

 The game looks fluid and easy  to cope with during the early levels as there are quests that gives a huge amount of exp and items. However I believe as you climb up the levels you will definitely need to party up with other players to dungeon grind for exp bonuses.

From the trailer, it seems that we can also expect to face off against familiar foes from the series like Petelgeuse, Elsa, and even the White Whale.

Pick A Card Any Card As Dragon Quest Rivals Is Here!

Dragon Quest Rivals (ドラゴンクエストライバルズ) is here! The new card game based on the popular Dragon Quest IP by Square Enix is now available for download on both iOS and Android! It was launched on the 2nd of November in Japan.

The game featuring Dragon Quest characters and monsters is a card game unlike its original IP. Though Square Enix is willing to try something new, it might just be a start to popularize mobile card games as the genre is dominated by Blizzard’s Hearthstone, Nexon’s Mabinogi Duels or even the Pokemon TCG.

Razer Blade 15 OLED Review – Packing Power in an Understated Design

The Razer Blade 15 OLED is one of the newest laptops from the ubiquitous brand, with an impressive array of hardware including a 12th Gen Intel i9-12900H (14 cores 20 threads, up to 5GHz clock speed), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 2560×1440 display that support 240Hz refresh rate and OLED panel. By their powers combined, it sure sounds like a good time for performance.

SLEEK AND SLIM
Razer’s laptops have always looked quite stylish, with the Razer Blade 15 OLED being no exception. It’s a super thin and light machine that can easily be mistaken for a regular working laptop for those of you closet gamers. It’s 16.99mm thick and weighs a mere 2kg, which makes it all the more impressive that they’ve managed to cram in all that hardware in such a compact chassis.

The laptop has a matte finish for its aluminum build, making it quite sturdy with minimal bending, which has certainly crossed my mind when it comes to something as slim as this. The screen barely flexes too, so you don’t need to worry about regular wear and tear warping the laptop out of shape.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

With minimal RGB lighting and only the Razer logo being the most obvious indicator that yes, this is indeed a gamer laptop, it’s basically an understated beauty in simplicity.
PLUGGING IN
When it comes to the array of ports, it comes with 3 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 1 Thunderbolt 4, 1 SD card reader, 1 3.5mm headphone jack, and 1 HDMI 2.1. The HDMI 2.1 port is arguably the biggest highlight here, since there are many laptops that have yet to make the transition despite it being available since 2017. Second monitor enthusiasts rejoice!

Of course, there’s also the option to utilize DisplayPort via the Thunderbolt 4 port which you’d want to look up its location, as it’s not labelled. The SD card reader is also a welcome sight.
The keyboard takes a little time to get used to, but once you do, it feels like one of the best typing experiences you can get for a laptop. Its layout is hardly any different from others of its type, with the spaces between keys not being too narrow, and half-sized arrow keys.
While there was no mention of the key travel distance, it’s a deceptively large one compared to how compact it looks. It’s a highly tactile experience with good feedback. Granted, I do understand if the idea of large key travel distance is unappealing to some.

I would expect most people getting this laptop to be using an external mouse instead of the touchpad, which in itself is quite smooth to use. It being in the center of the chassis does feel like it can disrupt typing if it’s not disabled, which can only be done through Razer Synapse.
YOUR EYES AND EARS AND SETTINGS
The 15.6″ 2K 240Hz OLED screen boasts a 1ms response time, with amazing colours. Seeing as it has 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut with an average brightness of 400 nits, it better. There’s a little hitch in that the screen seems really reflective.
Aside from that, the colours are so impressively life-like, and can seem even more “real” than the real thing. Rest assured that if you require any level of smooth visuals, you’ll get it right here. The experience is further complemented with THX Spatial Audio for incredibly accurate stereo sound effects for that immersive gaming experience.

Razer Synapse will be the central hub to tweak a variety of settings, such as your keyboard’s RGB lighting. The Performance setting doesn’t have too many bells and whistles, but it does make it more straightforward to adjust. You can’t adjust your power settings if you’re running on battery – fixed to Balanced mode – with Silent and Custom opening up once plugged in. The fan speed can be customized or left to the system (provided you’re plugged in) in Balanced mode. Silent is the self-explanatory hush hush option with no customization available, while Custom is where the CPU, GPU and fan speed tweaking can be done.

Last but not least is the GPU mode section, giving you the options between NVIDIA Optimus or Dedicated GPU Only. NVIDIA Optimus uses the integrated GPU which is definitely not recommended when you’re gaming. Just stick to Dedicated GPU, adjust your screen refresh rate if need be, and turn on gaming mode to disable things like your Windows key when you really get into the zone.
SHOWING UP THE NUMBERS
To recap, the Razer Blade 15 OLED carries a a 12th Gen Intel i9-12900H CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. In summary:
3DMARK: 10317

PCMARK 10: 7223

That’s just some raw tests. How does it run games? At 2560 x 1440 (2K) resolution, expect:
MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN: MILES MORALES

Very High Setting (Highest) without DLSS and Ray Trace Off: 70FPS average

Very High Setting without DLSS and Ray Trace Lowest: 50FPS average

Very High Setting with DLSS Ultra Performance and Ray Trace Lowest: 60FPS average

FORZA HORIZON 5

Extreme Setting (Highest) without DLSS and Ray Trace Off: 68FPS average, depending on location can reach 75 or even 80FPS

Extreme Setting without DLSS and Ray Trace Extreme: 60FPS average

Extreme Setting with DLSS Ultra Performance and Ray Trace Extreme: 70FPS average

OVERWATCH 2

Epic Setting: 100 FPS average

Medium Setting: 220FPS average

With things running so smooth, what else is there to say? It’s got the OLED screen, THX Spatial Audio and 240Hz refresh rate for some of the most satisfying laptop gaming possible.
Well, maybe it does lack a bit in the cooling, to be more critical about it. The i9-12900H CPU, with all its computing power, can be quite prone to heating up. During testing, the GPU managed to hover under 83 degrees Celsius while the CPU maintained a toasty 90 Celsius. However, considering the laptop’s form factor and no signs of performance throttling, it is at least acceptable, if not understandable.
Thankfully, the fan isn’t overly loud either that makes a headset mandatory. Your palms will always feel a little warm, but not uncomfortable. In a cooler environment, it might actually keep you from feeling chilly.

Last but not least, the battery life for a 80Whr battery accompanied by a 230W power brick. Without gaming, a screen at 100 brightness, speaker volume at 20 with no music playing and Dedicated GPU Only, tanked a 95% charge to 20% in around 1 1/2 hours. Battery saver kicks in automatically, but another 5 minutes is enough to make it dip to 15%. Lowering the brightness and swapping to NVIDIA Optimus will help with conserving battery, though switching the GPU mode requires a restart which you could be too lazy for. I know I am.
Charging it back up from 15% to 79% took 1 hour 44 minutes which is fair enough.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
It bears reiterating about just how powerful the Razer Blade 15 OLED is. Remember, it’s got a 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and 16GB DDR5 RAM. At this point, it’s unlikely it wouldn’t be able to run a game, unless it’s somehow poorly optimized. Even without DLSS, it’s not lagging far behind the hallowed 60 FPS minimum for a AAA game. Throw in the 2K OLED panel with up to 240Hz refresh rate, and you have some really immersive gaming possible.
If you have the opportunity to get this laptop, then by all means, do.

Disney Mirrorverse Review – Disney/Magic Kingdom

Disney Mirrorverse reminds me of early 2010s BuzzFeed- where almost every content was “look at this artist draw Disney Characters as X”. It’s not a bad thing- those articles did well for a reason, and it’s a cool concept. Combined with gacha game mechanics and Kabam’s expertise at making child-friendly action games, it’s a potential recipe for a smashing success.

That being said, it’s a dangerous line to tread- gacha games have their own pits to fall into, and redesigning characters always brings up a horrible chance of people not liking designs. Is Snow White with a 7-shooter revolver technically true to the character? You may find audiences split down the middle. (For the curious, Disney Mirrorverse does not, in fact feature Snow White with a 7-bullet revolver. Instead she has a giant pickaxe that looks like a scythe).

Still, with a massive library of characters and years of established gacha game tropes, Disney Mirrorverse has the legs to be Disney’s premier free-to-play experience. How does it all hold up? Read on and find out.
An Action Game Worth Writing Home About
Admittedly, it feels like there was some kind of disconnect in what kind of game Kabam wanted Disney Mirrorverse to be. It’s a pretty decent action game- the dodge feels good, and each character’s split between ranged, tank, DPS and support ensures that you know what kind of playstyle you want. Better yet, each character’s skill can be activated even if you’re not currently controlling them- allowing for some cool setups.
Follow us on Twitter

But where it tends to fall apart for gameplay lies in its simplicity. Those active skills I mentioned will auto target the nearest enemy, so you rarely want to actually use these skills until you’re down to your last enemy. In fact, just having your AI teammates running around the field itself is a bother- I’d much rather a Honkai-styled swapping out of each character, but I guess that would throw the class system out the window.
Ranged characters tend to feel the best to play, admittedly
There’s also the problem of the game’s perspective. Having this isometric view with hack-n-slash controls just feels, well, weird. Your characters are fighting from left to right, which, while I applaud the inventiveness, doesn’t really feel natural for an action game.
Still, in short bursts, it’s pretty fun. As someone medically incapable of not trying to inject fighting games into everything, I found out it’s actually possible to do oki setups with Merida and Hercules- simply have Herc knock targets down and Merida’s skill can hit them while they’re getting back up. Does this affect anything? No. Is it fun to do? Yes.
Plenty Of Reasons For Tron To Beat Up Jack Sparrow
The game’s action is set against a pretty just-there kind of story. The game has no ties to actual Disney movies, instead being an alternate universe where Mickey Mouse guards the Stellar Mirror- and employs other characters as Guardians of it. Maleficent, contractually obliged to always be the villain in crossover games, has her own “fractured” evil versions of characters, and you run the game’s story trying to stop her machinations.
The story’s nothing to write home about, but at this point it’s to be expected.

From there it’s pretty much your standard wave-based fights. Between waves you’ll sometimes get power-ups courtesy of everyone’s favorite mouse, which does help shake away some of the tedium. There’s also additional non-story modes as well, such as a dungeon-crawling mode featuring random rewards which can be a good way to pass the time if you’re looking for something to pass the time.
Honestly, it’s not like there’s anything particularly pressing in any of the game’s content- you’ll need it to upgrade your characters, yes, but on the casual level it’s just more ways to interact with your toybox of characters. That’s not necessarily bad, but there’s not anything particularly standards-defying here.
Just Me, The Rock, And The Rock
One thing you’d actually have to praise Disney Mirrorverse for is its authentically Disney yet also expansive roster of playable characters. Call me a cynic but I’m actually glad Disney isn’t shoving Marvel and Star Wars into every single cross-IP product they have with this. The roster is purely Disney characters- from classics like Donald Duck to Pixar pulls like Sulley from Monsters Inc to even the live action based-on-rides characters like Jack Sparrow.
One point of contention I have with these, though, is their designs. I suspect I’m in the minority but while I’m generally cool with the idea of redesigning classic characters, a lot of the new designs for Disney Mirrorverse just feel boring. It’s not that they dared to change Belle, it’s that their idea of changing her seems to make her look just like Jaina Proudmoore.
It’s not like Disney are afraid of drastic changes to their characters- just look at Twisted Wonderland. Sure, Hades looks nothing like his cartoon counterpart but people praise it for exactly how wild it can get. With Disney Mirrorverse, it feels more like every character was assigned a MOBA archetype and redesigned to fit it. And it’s a shame because so many of Disney’s more iconic characters are that way because of their looks.
That being said, there are some absolute winners in the designs. Donald Duck is literally a Final Fantasy Dragoon for some reason, Gaston has a bone crossbow so sick you’d swear Visceral Games was behind it, and Tron is largely unchanged from his design in Tron: Legacy. Which is great because that design rules.
Zurg being basically a giant armored core shouldn’t be as cool as it is in practice
There’s also something to be said about the polish in the game’s animations. Look, one thing Japanese games get right is knowing where the money shots of their games are. Love Live sports extremely polished music videos, while D4DJ’s card art is always immaculate. Yet with Disney Mirrorverse, the ultimate abilities so often just feel short of that extra coat of polish to make them feel great. It goes doubly bad if the character has a face- you really start to notice the dead eyes and pantomimed acting in all of them.
It sounds nitpicky but when it’s a series as identifiable as Disney, it’s hard to not be. Just like how Star Wars fans are weirdly sensitive about how lightsabers look in every spinoff series, Disney fans would be sensitive to things like animation quality, even in a mobile game. Heck, the game doesn’t have any voice lines either, which only adds on to the uncanny feeling of everything.
An Inspired Gacha Mechanic
From a gacha perspective, I’m kind of in two minds over Disney Mirrorverse. On one hand, the rates are pretty bad- 1% for a featured character and 1.5% for any 5-star. Worse still, it’s commited something I mainly see in western gacha games in having multiple versions of the same character. 5-stars can come in 3-star flavors as well, so it definitely feels like optimal players are being squeezed a little tightly.

The game’s also quite stingy with its premium currency- one pull costs 280 gems, and at no point in my gameplay did I earn enough gems to do any single pulls despite clearing two chapters of the game’s story.
That being said, I do like that you’re only pulling for characters. Things like upgrade materials are simply farmed via the game’s Supply Run missions, so it’s a nice break from other titles that want to see just how many different banners you’re willing to put up with for your character.
RM100 is way too much to pay for a character, but the concept of paying for just the character is something more gacha games should do
On the other hand, it also handles monetization in an interesting way. You can actually buy some characters- though they won’t be their maxed out selves, it’s a nice way to cap out spending for people who just want the cool looking character and don’t care about being optimal. I kind of wish this was extended to more characters, but the fact featured 5-stars like the current limited time Zurg banner are on it is a good sign for the future.
It does come with its own caveats though- 5-star characters, even though they’re not maxed out *to* 5 stars, are over RM100. That’s way too much, especially considering the people most likely to buy this package are children who just want their favorite characters.
Closing Thoughts
It feels sad when some of the best designs are the ones that just don’t really change anything
Ultimately, Disney Mirrorverse is a game I would describe as just fine. Considering the push for this game I’d kind of hoped for more, at least from a polish standpoint. But the good controls and surprisingly reasonable gacha is nice enough to earn it a notable spot, though we’d have to see how well the game handles its future characters as well.
Still, I have a sneaking suspicion that the general Disney-loving crowd might have more love for the artstyle than I have- there’s a reason the Blizzard design language has stuck around as long as it has, and like I said, some of those designs are genuinely sick enough to make you forget the less impressive ones.
If you’re keen on trying out the game, why not give our tier list a read?
Disney Mirrorverse Review

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Gameplay can be pretty fun

                                        Animations could definitely use some polish

                                        Getting to buy characters is neat...

                                        ...But goodness does the pricing need to be looked at

                                        Lack of voicelines just make the game feel like it needs more flavor

Attack on Titan: Brave Order does not have any projected release window either, with the website simply stating “Coming Soon”. With Part 2 of the anime’s final season airing in January 2022, it’s possible that we might get news closer to then to commemorate the occasion. In the meantime, fans will need to stay tuned for further announcements regarding the next news drop.
The series has seen many crossovers over time with other properties as well as their own mobile games, though the latter’s success seems to be mixed at best. Attack on Titan TACTICS was available in English, but did not last long.

Chinese-made Reverse: 1999 may be available in English at launch

Blue Poch‘s Reverse: 1999 is supposedly fully translated in English, as well as having English voiceovers, according to an official developer interview. If you haven’t heard of it before, Reverse: 1999 is a mobile RPG that utilizes cards to battle, in essence.

The game recently concluded a closed beta, with another one to follow. This first closed beta only had Chinese text as there apparently issues in implementing the English text, but as it stands, all the other characters are fully dubbed in English. The original plan for the game does include releasing with English text and voice.

As exciting as that sounds, it’s not a confirmation of it launching simultaneously for worldwide audiences. It will at least be more easily accessible for those who are able to access the game. We’ll have to see if there are more concrete plans for a global release, either at the same time or following shortly after its China one. English language dubbing is quite unusual for a non-Western release, so if you’re interested in it, its pre-registration campaign is running, so go right ahead.

Playstation 5 event rescheduled for 11 June

The Playstation 5 event, originally set for 4 June, has been confirmed for 11 June, after being postponed in support of the Black Lives Matters protests. The update was given via the Playstation Blog by Sid Shuman, Senior Director, SIE Content Communications.

Hi all – thanks for being patient and understanding while we rescheduled this PS5 event for Thursday, June 11 at 1pm Pacific Time / 9pm BST. We needed to step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic and important time.

Now that the event is confirmed for June 11, I wanted to add that this pre-taped program will be broadcast at 1080p and 30 frames per second. This eased the show’s production process during a time when many of our team and developers are working from home. The games you’ll see on Thursday will look even better when you play them on PS5 with a 4K TV, as you’d expect.
It’s also best if you watch while wearing headphones, if you can — there’s some cool audio work in the show, and it might be harder to appreciate if it’s pumped through your phone or laptop speakers.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us

The event, set to run for “just over an hour”, will be available to watch on YouTube, Twitch and the Playstation site itself.

ASUS ROG introduces latest gaming laptops with new NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics

During the recent CES 2019, ASUS ROG has introduced its latest lineup of gaming laptops equipping the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics. The list includes the ROG G703, ROG Zephyrus S GX531, ROG Strix SCAR II, and ROG Strix Hero II. Read the details below!

ROG G703
The ROG G703 is powered by 8th Generation Intel Core processors with an optional factory-overclocked Intel Core i9-8950HK processor for speeds of up to 4.8GHz. Sticking to a traditional 17” laptop form factor requires beefier cooling and a thicker chassis to achieve the same performance as its deep-breathing sibling. The larger heatsinks and fans allows G703 to keep up despite having much less room to breathe.
It features an IPS-level display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 3ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, and NVIDIA G-SYNC, allowing for super smooth gameplay even on Ultra graphics settings. G703 also features HyperDrive Extreme storage, which uses exclusive technology to combine three NVMe PCI Express (PCIe) SSDs in RAID 0 configuration for reading speeds of up to 8700MB/s – the fastest ever on a laptop.

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Sticking to a familiar design imparts a different sort of versatility. The ROG G703 can sit on your lap in a pinch, which for some will mean the difference between making and missing a deadline, especially when on location or on the road. Despite being rooted in tradition, the G703 still incorporates the latest technology and features to ride the cutting edge.

ROG Zephyrus S GX531
Putting high-end gaming components into an ultra-slim laptop is exceedingly difficult, especially when targeting a thinner chassis than ever before, but the Zephyrus S GX531 delivers with a remarkably compact body. The slender exterior measures about 15mm thin and leverage a 15.6” display with super-narrow bezels, so you can easily stuff the system into laptop bags with much less power.
The ROG Zephyrus S GX531 comes with cutting-edge parts like the latest Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, a premium 144Hz refresh rate display plus all the ROG essentials. They are just squeezed into a slimmer package. The smaller Zephyrus S is a good alternative for people who prioritize portability above everything else.

ROG Strix SCAR II
Built for the FPS side of the esports arena, the ROG Strix SCAR II comes in 15.6” and 17.3” variants available with the same 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. Both versions are draped in a shooter-inspired motif that uses splashes of camouflage to create a unique aesthetic fit for the battlefield. Highlighted WASD keys further reinforce the SCAR’s roots and ensure that you can easily find the home row for FPS gaming.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics give the 15” SCAR II GL504GV and 17” SCAR II GL704GV enough horsepower to drive triple-digit frame rates in popular shooters. While the SCAR II GL504GW and GL704GW offer more powerful graphics with both screen sizes, providing additional performance headroom for competitive gaming, demanding AAA titles, and cutting-edge VR experiences.

ROG Strix Hero II
The ROG Strix Hero II is optimized for MOBAs and ideal for gamers who want subtler styling. Its contrasting textures and cyber-text patterns are more restrained than the aggressive aesthetic of the SCAR II, making the Hero II more approachable for wider audiences.
Instead of highlighting the WASD cluster, translucent keycaps impart an extra glow to the QWER row. It is available exclusively with GeForce RTX 2060 graphics that are more than up to the task of pushing high frame rates in MOBAs and other popular games. Like with the SCAR II, NVIDIA Optimus technology conserves power by only activating the discrete GPU when needed, so you get longer battery life day to day and better gaming performance on demand.

The new gaming laptops with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics will be available sometime in Q1 2019. Stay tuned to ASUS ROG‘s official site and Facebook for more updates!
