Malaysian Govt Pledges 20 Million Ringgit and Tax Exemption for Esports With Budget 2022

The Malaysian Government announced an allocation of 20 million ringgit in Budget 2022 for esports today, as part of measures to grow the industry in Malaysia.

Image credit: RTM
In the budget, Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Tengku Aziz said that they would be allocating 20 million towards esports, though it came with a catch: 5 of that 20 million would be in the form of an excellence center for Drone Sport, which apparently count as esports now.

As Lowyat.Net reported, if you deduct the drone racing allocation, the esports allocation is actually the same as last year. Given the circumstances, it’s good to know that they aren’t backing down on previous plans to improve esports in the country, though there’s also the problem of no increased budget meaning they have no plans to increase the investment.
It should be noted, that no specific plans were mentioned for the remaining 15 million- while having a budget allocation is good, some sort of plan would be even better, since you’d be able to gauge actual commitment to building the local esports scene.

That being said, there was one more directly effective measure introduced in Budget 2022 as well- a tax exemption for winnings from esports tournaments. This would be more directly beneficial for athletes, seeing as they’d be allowed to keep all their winnings instead of having to pay a tax on them.

While it won’t do much to get more people into esports, it will make getting into it a more rewarding venture, due to the tax exemptions.

Genshin Impact Dating Sim Quests Explained

miHoYo have elaborated more on the hangout system, their new dating sim type events coming in the next title update for Genshin Impact.

In a tweet, they explained some of the requirements you’d need for these quests, including the minimum level you’d need to date your favorite characters, as well as how the mechanic would work.

For starters, not every character will be dateable. For now, the only characters you can engage in dating sim shenanigans with in the Genshin Impact update are Noelle, Barbara, Bennet and and Chongyun.

To begin the quest you’d need to be at least Adventure Rank 26, and need at least 2 story keys to begin the Hangout events. As the story plays out, you’ll need to keep the heartbeat meter up, and failing to do so will end the hangout quest.
It’s not a binary fail-or-win, though. According to miHoYo your decisions will have different consequences, with different details of the story quests based on your decisions. The game will let you view these via a flowchart.

One of the biggest reveals is that these quests are replayable, and you can use the aforementioned flowchart to jump to different parts of the quest and decide where you want to go next. In the examples they showed, there were a total of five different endings, with rewards for unlocking all five. You’ll even get special Hangout Memories, showing art of your character interacting with the Hangout characters, with each one corresponding to a different ending.
The Hangout system is one of the new features coming to the 1.4 update for Genshin Impact, alongside the Windblume Festival and the return of Venti, the first limited banner in the game. The update drops on the 15th of March.
It’s not currently known if the Hangout System will be tied to the Windblume Festival, or if it would still be in the game after the event is over, leaving room for future dates with other characters.

However, as a Japanese mobile game fans can still expect Phantom Parade to adapt the Jujutsu Kaisen anime rather faithfully. You can also expect the original Japanese voice actors from the anime to reprise their roles in the game.
Also, there is still no mention of a release date. Furthermore, it will be rather unlikely for the game to have an English release right out of the bat. Be sure to follow Jujutsu Kaisen‘s official Twitter account for any new updates.

Post technical alpha review for Diablo 2: Resurrected, with Matthew Cederquist and Andre Abrahamian

The Diablo 2: Resurrected technical alpha has come and gone, giving everyone their first proper feel and look regarding the remaster of the oft revered entry in the series. The demons slumber once more, but that doesn’t mean the developers aren’t hard at work. Armed with new questions, we had Game Producer, Matthew Cederquist and Game Designer, Andre Abrahamian on the dock to answer them.

Presumably, many of you might be wondering, why now? Blizzard’s already announced Diablo 4, after all. Abrahamian does not think the timing is strange in any way, and putting it as such:

Diablo 2 is a really special game to Blizzard, defining its genre
Diablo 2 recently celebrated its 20th anniversary
Diablo Immortal covers events between 2 and 3
Diablo 4 harkens back to 2

With all those factors, it seemed right to get people to experience Diablo 2 all over again, or even for the first time. As such, there’s no plans for a “full remake” at present. Abrahamian talks about the “finding the fun” philosophy at Blizzard, to find the core mechanic that makes a game. Diablo 2 remains relevant, so they decided to keep that authentic gameplay without opting for a full remake with a Diablo 3-esque gameplay style.

Keeping in mind that Diablo 2‘s death mechanics will see you running back to your corpse, they are working on accessibility while simultaneously not making the game “easier”. They’re collecting feedback from the community, so we’ll see if they’ll add in options pertaining to corpse runs or a manual save system, among others.
Part of the whole remaster meant moving the game to modern Battle.net, with rebuilding of UI behind the scenes. Abrahamian can’t go into detail about the exact modifications, but he does say some things that used to be harder to mod would be easier. Diablo 2 Classic will also still be available, so all its mods will remain in place. Mod support is encouraged for Resurrected, so we’ll see who gets on that. Their focus is on keeping true to the original experience for now.
There will be an update confirming the game’s release with full-cross progression support on currently announced platforms Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, but there’s nothing specific for Mac right now. Cederquist emphasizes their commitment to make the best experience no matter which platform you play it on, targeting 60FPS for consoles, if you’re concerned about the Switch version of the game.

Console users will have a level of auto aim utilizing their controllers, arguably making it easier to use. The PC controls will not be seeing any changes at present, though they are still continuing to take in feedback. Consensus says the controller experience is great, at the very least. They’ll continue improving and finding the sweet spot between aiming and balancing the range, as console users don’t have the luxury of an “unlimited” range of a mouse cursor. They’ve learnt a lot from the console release of Diablo 3.
While you’re able to port your original Diablo 2 save data to Resurrected to skip to the end if you so wish, the current plan doesn’t have new endgame content yet. The fresh experience will be from the online Battle.net ladder changes. Seasons wise, the original ladder system will remain, but they’re considering shortening the length from six months, with the exact period still yet to be determined. Co-op wise, they aren’t revealing precise details either – like not confirming instanced loot – but assures they’ve learnt plenty with regards to anti-cheating measures for online play.

While they’re committed to authenticity, some could argue that the strict classic approach could feel outdated for the newer generation. Quality of life features have been added while keeping the game mostly the same, for the original experience appealing to the pioneer generation, while still having the conveniences for the modern day. The availability of Resurrected on consoles itself already widens the audience the game can reach. Classic itself has gotten patches to make the experience better, so the Technical Alpha was primarily to gauge audience reaction, to see if they got the feel of the game right.
One of it was the positive feedback towards the Legacy toggle feature, where you can switch between the old and new graphics at will. It helps them ensure they’ve matched everything as close as they can, while players can enjoy the changes that’s occurred over 20 years. Cederquist points out this was a similar feature they had in Starcraft Remastered that players also enjoyed, so it was definitely something they wanted to add in. The assets for Resurrected have been recreated in 3D, for that modern touch. Cutscenes will be one-to-one recreations of the original cinematics, which we are told, “look amazing”.

The auction house will not be returning at this juncture, and as they work on maintaining every aspect of Diablo 2, there is definitely no Cow Level. Definitely.
Closing off, neither can provide a concrete date for the next beta phase. What’s coming up is a multiplayer test, but for now, they’ll just be working through all the feedback, making considerations regarding design and scope of the game, so once that’s done, in due time, they will surely announce anything else.

Diablo 2: Resurrected will be launching sometime in 2021 pending any delays, so stay tuned for the next testing period and see if you can get in!

Animal Crossing is still scheduled for mobile

When Super Mario Run made its debut on the smartphones in 2016, we were assured a number of titles including Animal Crossing would follow suit. Fast forward a year later and we are still waiting for the game.

President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime assured that the game is scheduled for release by saying “Animal Crossing development continues quite strongly, the teams are very excited about what they have. It’s an application that is going to launch this year, as we’ve committed. And we’ll be sharing more information in due course. We believe, just as we’ve seen with Pokémon Go, just as we’ve seen with Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, we believe that the application will help broaden the user base for Animal Crossing, and it’s going to end up having a positive impact on our dedicated video game business of Animal Crossing.”
No details were disclosed as to who will be developing the game, and with no screenshots whatsoever, chances are we are still going to be waiting for a quite a bit, with the likelihood being a winter launch the soonest.

A Commandant and their Constructs – Punishing Gray Raven Beta Impressions

I will confess I’m not an especially big fan of action games, because I’m not Very Good At Them haha classic games journalist etc. Still, knowing that my friends enjoy this game and the general hype surrounding it, I put in some time and got some help to fill in the blanks for Punishing Gray Raven. Android users would be in the last stages of the closed beta at the time of writing, with iOS users supposed to be able to join “soon”. Let’s get right into it.

PRESENTATION

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

Both the 3D models and use of 2D sprites here and there are great, which would come as no surprise to people who’ve been watching out for this game. With it being an action RPG, the flow of movement and attacks is incredibly smooth. Attacks have that certain weight to them, accompanied by appropriate sound effects. It can get a tad hectic, but enemy attacks will always be telegraphed by a warning red light to help you dodge: be it for their melee attacks, or for area of effect ones. When admiring your units, the clothes go swish, woo!
I feel that the stages can look on the flat side, but that’s probably better than garish backgrounds that distract you from noticing what’s important. The UI is mostly clean and easy to follow, if on the small side with regards to text size. The text log and scroll speed are also on the funky side in the beta, skipping over words or not scrolling correctly.

On screen, you have the usual virtual joystick, a dodge button, your auto attacks and colour-coded icons for your skills. It would be nice to have more options to adjust things like button size, as I’ve hit the dodge button instead of attacking more times than I care to count. I will admit this can be partially attributed to my Bad At Game skillset, but the options won’t hurt anyone.
GAMEPLAY

Basically, head into combat stage, pew pew and / or dodge where necessary, winner is you. As you fight, different coloured Pings will fire off different skills. The more of the same coloured Pings you’ve got chained together, the more powerful the skill is. There’s skill variety accordingly to the class of your unit, and what weapon they wield. With up to three characters to a team, swapping in someone else – on short cooldown – also can trigger on-swap effects. If you’re able to do frame perfect dodges, you enter this “Matrix” mode where things briefly slow down, so you can hammer down on your foes.
In your squad, you’ll have your leader in the middle, who has a leader skill to affect the team. You can make a team consisting of the same character, with their alternate versions. There are missions where the usual action takes a break, instead having like a stealth mission, for example. I find these a bit on the weaker side, as the game doesn’t feel made for it, even as it serves to add to the story.

Progression includes:

Base levels of units, also known as Constructs. They can gain EXP in battle, and are capped to your current Commandant level besides their own level cap
Promotion: Starting from Private level, you can promote your units up the ranks to give them more stats, dependent on hitting certainr equirements
Evolving: Shards from either the gacha (duplicates) or purchasable from the Phantom Pain Cage shop increases their ranks. Stats here are mostly minor flat or percentage based increments
Skills: Pretty self-explanatory. Level these up with Skill Points, which are shared across characters
Weapons: Weapons go up to 6-star in rarity, with varying passive effects. When they hit their base level cap, you can Overclock them that resets their level to 1. Weapons may also have Resonance skills with their respective units wielding them
Consciousness: Gear sets, which can only be equipped in their respective numbered slot. Equipping a certain number of the same Consciousness gives a set bonus. Like weapons, these can also be Overclocked at their level caps and resets to 1

Story progression is important, as features will gradually open up to you the more you play. On one hand, I understand why they do this, but on the other, it can feel really slow if you’re not a very active player for whatever reason. There’s the main story, then “hidden” mode for extra lore and stages, which also unlocks more story stages and so forth. In my convalescence, I haven’t even unlocked the Dorm, much less so many more things I’ve yet to fiddle around with. Co-op mode isn’t open at the time of writing either.
There is an auto-mode, but it’s limited to only the story stages, and you don’t get 100% of the drops. I understand why this is – heck, I play Genshin – but if you wanted a certain degree of automation for material stages, you’re out of luck here.
Standard mission completion and achievements are also available. Besides all the Stats TM for your units, you can give them stuff and raise affection with them, with stories and voice lines that gradually unlock. You can give them outfits too. Nothing too unusual.
GACHA
Here’s the important one.
When it comes to Constructs, you’re guaranteed an A-rank or above Construct every 10 attempts, while you’re guaranteed an S-rank Construct every 60 attempts. When you’re given 30 currency per first clear of a story stage, and you need 2500 for gacha, the guarantee is extremely welcome – though it won’t necessarily give you the unit you want. The rate-up character will be given a 70% rate for the S-rank chance, at the very least.

Including your guaranteed drop, your chances for an S-rank Construct is 1.90%, while the base drop is 0.5%. These odds are not very appealing. A 6-star weapon has a base rate of 5%, though for focus weapons it’s at 4%. A 6-star weapon is guaranteed for every 30 attempts, with 80% chance in a focus gacha. These odds are not the most appealing.
It’s not all doom and gloom when it comes to the gacha. Should nothing change, a completely F2P player has the potential to obtain every S-rank Construct as the current release schedule is set for 3 months for every new one, even if you don’t grab their signature weapon with. This economy is pretty reassuring, all things considered, though the base rate is still something to keep in mind.
VERDICT?
The story, much like the game, will start out slow. I do wonder a lot of stuff, though right now, nothing has especially gotten my attention. I definitely like its aesthetics because who doesn’t like Lee’s cool coat and double pistols? It’s not something I see myself playing a lot, but you guys can hopefully get that global release soon and go enjoy yourselves.

[ Guide ] Cookie Run Kingdom – Should You Use Eclair Cookie

The Skills of Eclair Cookie

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Eclair is a support-type cookie that primarily occupies the middle row. A bit unusual as support cookies are usually at home in the back row but it doesn’t seem to make too much of a difference.
His skill is called Book of History. Eclair summons a great book that casts ‘weaknesses’ which debuffs the three strongest enemies on screen (with cookies taking priority). This means that your enemies will take more damage and if you knock them out while they are debuffed, your allies will gain an HP shield. It also does a bit of damage to the enemy.
His stats are:

16-sec Cooldown
Single hit DMG: 480.6% (+6.54% DMG per level)
Weakness: receive +25.0% DMG for 40.0 sec, the effect stacks up to x4
HP Shield: +25.0% of Max HP for 3.0 sec
Weakness debuff is refreshed by its further stacks: one stack’s duration is 10 sec, two stacks will extend it by 8 sec.

The Best Use of Eclair Cookie?

The biggest issue that any support cookie is going to have is ultimately that Parfait and Cotton Cookie exist. These two remain the top support cookies, with great buffing abilities, as well as being able to double as healers (and in Cotton’s case, also a summoner).
It’s a bit too early to say just how high Eclair will rank on the support tier list (we’ll update as we learn more) however from first impressions he manages to carve out his own niche, and can be pretty powerful in his own right.
His healing is decent at best but his debuff skills do make tougher enemies a lot easier to handle. The blast from his book can take out a decent chunk of hp, and his ability to cause extra damage meant that I was steamrolling through some tougher enemies noticeably faster. This could also make him helpful for PvP, helping to take out a few of the opponent’s heavy hitters earlier.
As a result of this, his HP shield effect also came on much more frequently than I thought it would which in turn helped when confronting the next batch of enemies. It would be best to have him work alongside a healer cookie (cotton or Parfait would both work great here) but otherwise, he can really cripple enemies with enough investment.
Best Toppings

I found the best toppings for Eclair were all swift chocolate (cooldown reduction). To put it simply, you want to be able to use his skill again as soon as possible. A couple of raspberries would boost his damage output but I think it’s more important to have his skill at the ready as the effects are already decently strong.
Who is Eclair Cookie
Eclair is a museum curator who is playing quite a big part in the new Cookie Alliance event, helping to prevent the end of the EarthBread. He also acts as your guide in the Guild Museum. Here’s his bio:

“When you’re looking around the museum, taking a look at the ancient relics that hold mysteries and stories untold, it feels as if the whole world has grown peaceful and silent. That’s usually when the curator of this museum will approach you with a gentle and kind greeting. Eclair Cookie, at your service! With an entire dessert covered in premium fondant icing adorning his hat, he’ll greet guests of the museum with elegance and grace, all while making sure there’s no trace of dust to be found. But it must be said that he tends to go overboard with his explanations whenever a guest shows interest in his favorite topic: dragon-fighter Cookies! This is precisely why he’s mostly seen in his office, writing reports on these brave and heroic dragon-fighter Cookies. He may be sitting in front of his desk, but do not underestimate his scholarly heart—for his passion for history burns bright as any other adventurer exploring this world.”

Sonic Origins Review – Gotta Go Back

Celebrating 30 years of Sonic, Sonic Origins is a remaster of some of the earliest Sonic games for fans new and old, and for us to review. Sonic Origins is a collection and remaster of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Because Sonic Origins is a 4-in-1 game consisting of titles that are nearly 30 years old at this point, this review will not cover much on the story or gameplay like our other reviews, but more on its features. Also, while Sonic Origins is available on Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PS4, PS5 and Steam via PC, this review is based on the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition of the game.

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

Features
This remaster isn’t just a 1:1 version of the original ported to modern consoles, there are also neat quality of life changes. Each of the 4 games in Sonic Origins can be played in either Anniversary Mode or Classic Mode. Anniversary Mode gives you infinite lives and lets you play in an updated 16:9 aspect ratio. Classic Mode lets you play the game in 4:3 aspect ratio like the originals, but you can get a gameover if you run out of lives. Each of these modes is separate with its own save files.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Because Anniversary Mode lets you keep going no matter how many times you die, I find it a lot more accessible to new players. It’s also a great way to get better, especially if you’re into speedrunning, since you can keep retrying the stage with different strats to get a better time. In my case, since I’m pretty impatient and prone to dying, it’s a welcome option.
Beating the game also unlocks Mirror Mode, which flips the game horizontally. So if in normal gameplay you move from left to right, Mirror Mode has you move from right to left. It’s basically the same experience, just a little bit more challenging since it’s tripping up your sense of direction. Veteran Sonic fans should find this a fun change of pace.

Besides these modes, each of the 4 games also has their own Boss Rush mode. As the name implies, Boss Rush mode lets you fight each boss from their respective game in order. Like Mirror Mode, this is also a nice change of pace from running around the whole stage.
Specifically to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, there is also the option to “Play Blue Spheres”, the minigame that you can find in the game.
Besides the 4 main games, there’s also Story Mode which lets you play all the games in order continuously with your save file carrying forward from one game to the next. Then there’s Mission Mode, which are smaller preset stages where you try to complete a specific task, like defeating x enemies within y time and try to get the best score.
Each of the 4 games also have their specific enhancements and changes. For example, there is the option to play Knuckles in the first Sonic game. Most of these additions are great and basically improve the gameplay experience as a whole.

Museum
Besides the 4 games + Story/Mission Mode, Museum is the other main feature that can be accessed on the main menu. It’s basically a big gallery for Sonic art, music, and other content which longtime Sonic fans and those new to Sonic would greatly appreciate.
For me, as someone who’s new to Sonic, one of the things that really caught my attention is being able to view the old Sonic games’ box art for the Sonic Mega Drive console they originally released. We can even compare the differences between the box art for each game in all 3 regions (US, UK and JP). Call it a history lesson if you may, but I truly felt enlightened from being able to learn more about a significant part of gaming history.
The Museum in Sonic Origins contains a lot of these kinds of content, from character designs to even the super cute Sonic Mania Adventures animated shorts. A lot of the content can be unlocked by playing the game normally or through spending Coins, which is the currency players can collect from each stage, or in Missions and Boss Rush Mode.

Presentation
Obviously, the gameplay and graphics of Sonic Origins are pretty retro. However, one thing that looks super good and polished is the animated cutscenes. These are animated very well, like modern Tom and Jerry cartoons, and end up being very fun to watch.
The music that plays on each stage is also quite pleasant and fitting. Apparently, many older fans don’t like Sonic 3 & Knuckles music, because the original had copyrighted music from Michael Jackson, so SEGA had to change it for Sonic Origins. While some have criticised the quality of the new music itself, to me, the new music sounded fine.

DLC and Pricing
This is the main issue that a lot of players have brought up. For the DLC, the overarching complaint is that it’s confusing, unnecessary and predatory, which I can see why. The image above shows what kind of content players can get from purchasing a specific edition or DLC of the game, and you can see that character animation in the main menu and camera controls over the main menu islands are locked behind the Premium Fun Pack or Digital Deluxe Edition, for example.
As mentioned previously, this review of Sonic Origins is based on the Digital Deluxe Edition on PS5, and honestly, the additional content that we get on the main menu isn’t worth it. Each game (Sonic, Sonic 2, etc) on the main menu has its own island, where you can see Sonic, Dr. Robotnik and other NPCs hanging around. With the DLC/Digital Deluxe Edition, you get to control the camera and look around them. That’s all. It’s so underwhelming that I don’t understand why this wasn’t included in the base game in the first place.

Also, the pricing—the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes the Premium Fun Pack and Classic Music Pack, is just 5 USD more expensive than Standard Edition (On Steam, it’s RM 20 more expensive). With the additional content being worth only that much, I’m confused as to why the DLC is sold separately in the first place when it’s basically always better to get the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Then there’s the issue of the game’s price itself. On Steam, the Standard Edition is RM 149, while the Digital Deluxe Edition is RM 169. Even though we’re essentially purchasing 4 games in 1, but to pay that price for 4 games that are about 30 years old is way overpriced, even with the new features. The worst thing is that SEGA delisted the individual games from Steam, so the only way to play them legitimately on PC for example is by buying Sonic Origins, which is annoying especially if you want to only buy and play just 1 game.

Closing Thoughts
Sonic Origins is a solid remaster overall. The new features are nice and even though there are bugs here and there, there’s nothing game-breaking or too frustrating. The biggest issue with the game is not the content itself, but how SEGA tries to sell it.
Thus, for people who want to play the original Sonic games, is it worth it? I would say no. Even though it’s a great way for new people to get into the Sonic games, just save yourself the RM 149/169 and download the original Sonic games on mobile, which are free to play. Sure, complain all you want about the ads or mobile being an inferior platform (Bluestacks/emulator is still a legit option to play on PC, by the way), but between playing the games for free and spending over a hundred ringgit, it’s clear which is the better option.

Pros
Cons

Great way for Sonic fans and newcomers to get into classic Sonic
WAAAAY overpriced

The new features and changes are good overall
Confusing and unnecessary DLC

Museum is a fantastic way to look back at Sonic history

Refreshing the Acer Predator Triton 300 with the PT315-51

The Acer Predator Triton 300 PT315-51 is still a decent machine with its premium aluminium design and great display, though it lacks in the GPU department, with only a GTX 1650 that doesn’t quite match its looks. With its refresh in the PT315-52, it’s now packing a better GPU that can be paired with the Intel Core i7-10750H. There’s tweaks to its design, performance and display, but the rest remains. So, what’s new?

A THINNER PROFILE

Related Posts

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

The PT315-52 Predator Triton 300 is almost the same as its predecessor, instead ditching the Predator words on the back logo and redesigning the rear vents. As with the Helios 300, the removal of the name is due to the brand already being recognizable, so they’re able to streamline the design. The size has also been shrunk to 19.9mm for a really compact machine. The keyboard has not changed at all, retaining its durability for work and play and four RGB light zones.
AN UPGRADED DISPLAY

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

One big improvement for the latest iteration of the Predator Triton 300 is in the display, jumping from 144 Hz to 240 Hz, certainly a welcome upgrade for gamers as a whole. With a 91% sRGB coverage and comfortable viewing angle, the 1920 x 1080 resolution screen is capable of a 300+ nits maximum brightness and good contrast.
HARDWARE NOT LAGGING BEHIND
You’ll have a better choice of CPU and GPU with the PT315-52, with an Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q design, 16GB RAM and storage up to [ fill in ], it’s now far better equipped for heavy gaming sessions and multitasking. The high refresh rate certainly positions it as a better gaming machine when matched with this hardware, with Shadow of the Tomb Raider being tested below:

The internal benchmarking for the game reports up to 55 frames per second at high settings, and playing it for ourselves demonstrates the good and consistent frame rate. With V-Sync on, there’s no screen-tearing to be seen either. To further boost your gaming experience, the Triton 300 comes with PredatorSense for you to adjust the fan speeds and overclock the GPU. We have to warn you that the fans do get quite noisy, however.
While these specs are a step up, don’t start going too crazy with it, but it will be able to give most machines a run for their money.
CONNECTIVITY AND BATTERY
The battery capacity is still on the low side, but it’s better than the 2019 Predator Triton 300, giving improved performance away from the charger. It’s still prudent to keep in mind that it’s still a gaming laptop, and isn’t suited for long hours apart from the charger.

The addition of Wi-Fi 6 will give the machine the best possible connection without needing a wired connection, with the system analyzing and identifying the most important processes to give it more bandwidth. As game updates get larger, a good Wi-Fi connection will be extremely useful. In regards to connectivity, you’ll find 3 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, HDMI port, dual audio ports and RJ-45 port.
IN CLOSING
What else is there to say about the Triton 300? It’s got upgraded specs, in a cooler looking aluminium chassis. The keyboard can light it up with 4-zone RGB lights and is comfortable to use, with a large touchpad to bot. The machine is about on par with others carrying the  i7-10750H/ RTX 2070 combo. It’s yet another gaming laptop that is value for money, with pretty powerful hardware at a more modest price point.

Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp Has Been Delayed Due to The Ukraine Invasion

Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp for the Nintendo Switch has been delayed from its April 8th release date.

A new release date for the game will be revealed at some point in the near future.

This was revealed in a post by Nintendo of America’s Twitter account which states the decision for the delay was made “In light of recent world events”:

This will be the second time that the strategy RPG has been delayed as it was originally supposed to launch in December of 2021. While not specifically stated, it is clear that the reason Advance Wars has been delayed again is due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Users have pointed out that this isn’t simply because Advance Wars has a more tongue-in-cheek portrayal of war, but also because the first game begins with a fictional country called Blue Moon, which is heavily inspired by Russia, invading neighboring countries.
Strangely enough, this isn’t the first time that Advance Wars has had an unfortunate clash with real-world events. The original title which this game is a remake of was released in North America on the 10th of September 2001, one day before 9/11. This caused the game to be delayed in Japan and Europe.
While it didn’t halt the game’s sales in any way, to say that the Advance Wars series has been subject to some unlucky timing is an understatement.
There is currently no word on when Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp will be released however I personally predict that the game will be out sometime in late 2022. The game is likely already finished and will probably release when the heat of real-life war has hopefully cooled off.

Nintendo has also promised the story of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will tie together the “futures of the worlds depicted in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2”. Considering the high sci-fi settings of both previous games, it’s bound to be quite the adventure.
From the trailer, the graphics and character models seem to be more polished, even compared to Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Whether it will actually look this good running on the Switch is yet to be seen but considering the series’ track record, it’s likely in safe hands.
Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 as well as the spin-off game Xenoblade Chronicles X (which really should have been ported to Switch by now) have become some of the most highly acclaimed RPGs on Nintendo’s recent consoles.
This has led to developers Monolithsoft working on other important Nintendo projects including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. A game that much like Xenoblade is known for its vast open-world with numerous enemies on screen at once.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will release for the Nintendo Switch in September. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 1: Definitive Edition are currently available for the Nintendo Switch.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 announced for 8th April 2022, teases Tails

The sequel to last year’s Sonic the Hedgehog movie is officially titled as Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which will likely feature Tails.

The animated title of Sonic The Hedgehog 2, as seen in the tweet above, strongly hints on the appearance of Tails. The trusty sidekick of the blue hedgehog actually appeared in the first movie if you stayed for the post-credits scene. He even demonstrated his signature twin-tailed helicopter flying style.
Besides Tails appearing at the end of the movie, another loose end is Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik. Despite his defeat to sonic, the villain is still alive and kicking in an alien mushroom-infested planet. Regardless, with Tails travelling to Earth and Dr. Robotnik transported to god knows where, space or dimensional travel definitely seems to be a thing in the sequel.
To those who need a refresher, Miles Prower, better known as Tails, is one of the earliest characters who appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. As Sonic’s sidekick, Tails appeared in many of the Sonic games, even being the main character of a few spin-offs.
