It is likely that there will be a showcase at Tokyo Game Show as Hypergryph also had a booth there to showcase their alpha gameplay. Seeing that the game is still in early development at this stage, it’s unlikely the game will be coming out any time this year. As it is, we also have Arknights: Endfield to consider. Ex Astris is slated to be a paid title, while the Arknights spin-off will be free to start.
You can check out the English website for Ex Astris here, and see if there will be news about a more worldwide test whenever that will be.

[GSTAR 2018] A3: Still Alive Demo Hands-On Impression

First announced in October 2018, A3: Still Alive is a mobile game based on the classic PK MMORPG, A3. Netmarble recently reveals that the mobile game will feature 30-player battle-royale mode, and we are lucky to be able to try it out in G-Star 2018. So, check out our hands-on impression below if you want to know more about the new mode!

Check out our gameplay of its demo:

The battle-royale mode features a total of 30-players in the massive map, the last man standing wins the match. The demo we tried only includes solo mode (which means you can’t team up with others) with players separated into a few types of classes. Of course, different classes have their unique skills where you can learn by leveling up, there are maximum 4 skills that you can use in a battle.

To level up, you will have to kill monsters as well as eliminate other players. Judging from the demo, you can level up to level 18 or more in a match. You can also pick up items or equipment such as shoes and armor from defeated monsters and players. There will be potions for you to regenerate your health.

As you can see from the gameplay, a mini-map will appear at the top left indicating your position and the playable area. There are certain areas that you can unlock to enter. Interestingly, A3: Still Alive‘s battle royale mode also features a special type of tower that automatically heals a player (who unlocks the tower) whenever he/she stays in its effective area.
Unlike most of the battle-royale mobile games that allows you to view a far distance, your vision is limited to a small radius around you in A3: Still Alive. Apparently you can still enlarge the visible area with skills and unlocking healing towers though. Footstep icons will show up when another player is nearby, and you will only unleash your normal attack to the direction you are facing.

You can spectate other players until a winner is decided even though you were defeated early. Participating in a match earns you some ranking points and rewards such as experience according to your ranking too.

There is no release date for A3: Still Alive yet, but we heard that there is a plan to release it globally after its Korean launch. Stay tuned for more updates on the game!
Special thanks to Acer who gave us the chance to attend G-STAR 2018 live, you can visit their official site or Facebook for more updates and details about their product!

The Hunter and the Hunted – Predator: Hunting Grounds review

Predator: Hunting Grounds officially launched on 24 April for the Playstation 4 and PC via the Epic Games Store. We tried out IllFonic’s asymmetrical shooter, featuring a 4 v 1 of four Fireteam members and one Predator. Let’s just jump right into the jaws of the horror!

Striking Out in both modes
If you play the Predator, then you will need to defeat the four members of the Fireteam. For the Fireteam, you’ll have to complete operations escape to the helicopter before you’re found. For regular players of other asymmetrical games like Dead by Daylight, you will already know the basics of gameplay.

Certainly, being the Predator is extremely entertaining, having all that power in your hands as you work to collect heads as trophies. The mechanics for the Predator are extremely smooth, easy and is exhilarating without fail. Being so quick and a parkour system of sorts means moving around is just that much more satisfying as you get on the hunt. Of course, the Predator being controlled by only one person means you’re more likely to be on the Fireteam, so enjoy the power trip when you can.

You’ll be able to obtain goodies from “loot boxes” as you play, referred to as “Field Lockers” in this game. The rewards are random, and can be obtained from levelling up or through any Veritanium Fragments you’ve acquired. Using Veritanium will let you obtain your item of choice without the gambling. These rewards are solely cosmetic and are just for styling on whichever side you happen to be against. Depending on what ranks you achieve, you’ll be able to open more than one of these Field Lockers for that extra loot. Naturally, these items can be used to customize your Fireteam character or the Predator, including weapons.

Queuing will be faster if you choose to play as the Fireteam, as you might expect. You don’t need to worry too much about gaining the experience needed to level up though; it’s shared with both the roles you might play, so any unlockables you get will automatically be usable whenever you get to play either role.
Whatever your preferred playstyle in the Fireteam is, the whole conceit is to make you tense and on edge as you try to watch out for yourself and your teammates lest the Predator thinks you’ll be a good appetizer before you’re done with your objectives. For being called the Fireteam, you’re pretty low on the actual firepower, so the situation just gets that much harder. When you do get the guns, the gunplay is pretty serviceable, so not all is lost.

They’ve done a really good job in making the Predator really feel threatening when you play it with all the fun toys you have as the apex hunter: traversal, cloaking, heat/noise tracking and other fantastic features. It would be nice to have more time to really explore all of them, as games might feel too rushed as you prevent the Fireteam from completing their objectives.
Many of the Predator’s abilities and weapons require the use of energy, so you have to manage its use. The Cloaking skill will use up your energy as long as its active, while something like the Plasma Cannon will use up a chunk of energy with every shot. Not utilizing any of the tools will charge up your energy again quick.
Having a balanced loadout and team composition is key to success, if you want a fairer and more exciting fight!
Lifting off with a verdict
Predator: Hunting Grounds suffers from some performance and technical issues especially if you’ve played it at launch. The PS4 Pro can often freeze when the Predator attacks, or if there’s a lot of AI enemies. Textures can take a long time to load in, and the frame rate as a whole isn’t consistent.
The title isn’t the greatest in its current state, with the Predator feeling far too overwhelming compared to the Fireteam. Even the in-game tutorial only gives the briefest help for the Predator, while the Fireteam gets none. You’d have to decipher everything from the submenu texts and learn as you go.

There isn’t a solo mode either, and a game like this would live and die by patches and the community. The Field Lockers contain skins and alternate colour palettes, which aren’t obtrusive, but perhaps more variety of items would’ve been best before this implementation. The matchmaking otherwise takes quite a bit of time, so hang in there guys.

Pros
Cons

Fans of the Predator films would likely enjoy it
Shoddy optimization

Fireteam doesn’t feel as fun as the Predator

FINAL SCORE
5/10

Predator: Hunting Grounds is an immersive asymmetrical shooter set in remote areas, where the Predator stalks the most challenging prey.

Players will be able to upload and share their own creations, engaging with other players who might have an interest in things like custom gametypes.
Rather than be released separately, Battlefield Portal will release as part of Battlefield 2042, along with its multiplayer and Hazard Zone modes.

What Is Battlefield Portal
The developers confirmed that the game won’t come with a Level Editor, so you’ll be using pre-made level assets but mainly be dealing with the rulesets you want.
One of the features they introduced was logic switches, meaning while you won’t be able to make your own maps from scratch, you will be able to customize how players interact with the game itself.
These can even be used to make asymmetrical levels, with several examples shown on stage such as battles between 2042-era soldiers vs soldiers from Battlefield 1942, as well as a mode where a single tank pilot has to fight off players controlling a horde of robots instead.

Fairy Tail RPG introduces guest party members!

The Fairy Tail RPG game will be having several guest party members! They were revealed in the weekly Famitsu magazine, with Ultear Milkovich, Lyon Vastia, Flare Corona and Minerva Orland teaming up with the cast. Being part of other guilds instead of Fairy Tail, these guest party members will be performing actions automatically and will not be controllable by the player.

This is probably a tad disappointing for fans of these characters, but they’ll still be able to see them kick ass with the best of them, just not directly playable.

Putting the Gimbal system to the test: vivo X50 Pro review

Smartphones giving focus to its cameras has been an emerging trend over the years with companies trying out different configurations: in the notch, pop-up style, and tossing in up to four cameras for the rear. vivo intends to continuously stay innovating, with vivo Malaysia officially launching the gimbal camera system in the X50 series in the country. We got a vivo X50 Pro to try out, so let’s get to it.

Attractive design, great specs

The X50 Pro gives off a premium aura from the box itself: the dark blue printed box, then the wrapping for the phone contained inside… the Alpha Grey version gives it an elegant feel. After the vivo NEX 3, it’s yet another phone from vivo having a design in a class of its own. It has a curved screen design, with a matte finish on the glass back to reduce fingerprint marks. It weighs roughly 180g with a thickness of 8mm.

The quad camera setup on the back has a little unconventional arrangement. The upper left corner houses the cameras in like a double-story design, with the main camera, followed by the bokeh and wide-angle camera then the periscope lens. We’ll share the camera shots below.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The right side houses the volume and power button, while the bottom has the SIM slot and speakers, as well as the Type-C charging port.
As for the screen, the X50 Pro looks really wide thanks to its dual-curve design, giving it that premium look, enhanced with the slim bezels. To be more specific, the X50 Pro has a Super AMOLED 6.5 inch screen with 2376 x 1080 resolution and 92% screen to body ratio. The AMOLED panel is able to provide vibrant colours with accurate colours, so enjoy your videos from Youtube to Netflix! The screen also boasts a 90Hz refresh rate, something that’s slowly become the standard.

WIth Funtouch OS, there are certain changes compared to vanilla Android, with support for dark mode and theme customizations, but also font styles, modes for screen colours including that for eye care, and many more. As with many premium flagships, the X50 Pro also has an in-display fingerprint sensor which is closer to the bottom half of the phone, with face unlock available.
In brief, the X50 Pro carries a 765G Snapdragon processor, 256GB on-board storage and 8GB RAM. You can check the Antutu benchmark below for an idea of its performance:

For audio, it utilizes the AK4377A audio chip. The volume is quite low, but on turning it up makes the audio quality less than stellar, so you’d likely prefer to use earphones instead. You can get a pair of TWS Neo earphones that are designed to match with the X50 Pro, sold separately at RM359. It has a 14.2mm Moving-Coil Unit that can produce louder sound, and a bio-fiber composite diaphragm to improve the quality. The earphones come with noise cancelling to ensure clearer sound, along with a variety of smart controls to activate as needed.

Game on
While the camera is probably the X50 Pro’s main draw, it still handles games pretty well. It’s smooth and has no lag, which we put to the test with PUBG Mobile. At the highest settings, the phone performs well across 4 hours, heating up slightly over that period. The grip is somewhat uncomfortable, since there’s no jack for the headphones, so you’ll need a Type-C OTG connector.

The X50 Pro also comes with the standard Ultra Game Mode to restrict calls and notifications so that you can wholly focus on your game. There’s an Esports Mode as well for PUBG Mobile to further enhance graphics and touch sensitivity for your games.
Shot focus!
The vivo X50 Pro’s theme is “photography, redefined”. It boasts the first gimbal function in a smartphone, which stabilizes the camera up to three times better than conventional OIS stabilizers. The main camera is a special Sony IMX598 48MP with f/1.6, with a secondary 13MP f/2.46 portrait sensor, the third being the 8MP f/3.4 5X periscope zoom lens – with 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and 60x zoom – and the last one is an ultrawide angle 8MP f/2.2 sensor at 120 degree and supports macro photography up to 2.5cm to the lens. Indeed, these are some of the most comprehensive array of cameras you can get on a smartphone for this year.
Now, for an individual camera breakdown:
MAIN CAMERA
As befitting its main camera status, it’s a highly satisfactory camera, though it does have some issues with colour saturation when it’s set on auto. It’s recommended to manually adjust the settings for some great shots with the X50 Pro. When it comes to modes like close-ups, or portrait modes, the photos turn out really well, capturing the subject as intended. It also has 60x zoom for those really distant shots.

NIGHT MODE

As advertised, the night mode for the X50 Pro is amazing. Even when zoom is needed, the logos on the buildings are still clearly visible. The light trails look great, and every shot can handily capture moving vehicles too. Of course, regular capture of lights at night is no issue.

VIDEO
More so for content creators, the ability to capture video anywhere, anytime would be exceptional. The X50 Pro boasts up to 4K resolution, which works like a charm. You do have some heating issues if you record on 4K for too long, but you don’t lose out when recording on 1080P either.

GIMBAL
This is the main selling point for the vivo X50 Pro, to give you better stabilization technology. It’s still not perfect, but it’s nevertheless a robust system, working fine with light shakes and your video won’t be too wobbly, so congrats to vivo! It has room for improvement and polish, for the best stabilization yet.
OTHER CAMERA FEATURES

Pro Sports Mode Motion AF Tracking

Pick an object in frame and set your focus on it, keeping your subject perfectly centered at all times. It also has 3D Voice Tracking so it can follow your subject’s voice from whichever direction

Extreme Night Vision

On top of an already robust night mode camera, AI algorithms helps remove noise and automatically kicks in when there is minimal light, to help you capture anything in the depths of the dark

Astro Mode

Turn on Super Night Portrait to capture your best night time selfie, or Astro Mode for the stars in the sky

Wide Angle

For those clear, wide shots

Battery life
The 4315 mAh battery on the X50 Pro is pretty decent, and even has 33W FlashCharge 2.0 to ensure you don’t run out of battery. With just light use, like scrolling through Facebook or using the camera, the battery can last almost three days. If you’re an avid gamer, then it’ll be just about a day instead, so it depends on your usage. With fast charging, you can get a full battery in roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes, so you’ll always stay powered up.
Verdict
With 5G support, the base vivo X50 is priced at RM2399, while the X50 Pro is at RM3199, If you’re looking for a phone for gaming, you’re probably better off with a more dedicated smartphone since after all, the X50 series is geared towards photography in specific for the shutterbugs. For camera fiends and vloggers, the X50 Pro is a perfectly good investment, and it looks stylish to boot!

Hololive Members Fubuki and Matsuri Cameo In The Detective Is Already Dead

Hololive has made its first official anime appearance, with first gen members Fubuki and Matsuri appearing in the latest episode of the Detective Is Already Dead.

The scene in the 3rd episode of the anime has the two in their regular outfits, hosting a TV program about Idols and introducing the character Yui Saikawa as one of the top idols in the business.

Unlike the previous Hololive cameo in an anime, this one happened with full blessing by COVER Corporation, so we won’t have to worry about a messy fallout after the fact such as with the Pekora easter egg.

It’s a fun little easter egg to feature the Hololive talents in The Detective Is Already Dead- after all, the company has them labeled as idols, it makes sense they would be hosting a program about idols.
This is actually the second time Hololive has dipped their feet in anime. Previously, talents Minato Aqua, Oozora Subaru and Momosuzu Nene had performed the ending song for the anime The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!.
The Detective is Already Dead follows Kimizuka Kimihiko, a young boy with a penchant for getting in trouble who gets roped along by a detective with silver hair named Siesta. The anime is available to watch legally in Malaysia via the Muse Asia YouTube channel.

Azur Lane Inverted Orthant CM releases on the same day with behind the scenes of Enterprise CM

Yostar released two new videos for Azur Lane, one for the Inverted Orthant event and the other which shows behind the scenes footage of “Limit Break”.

The first video is an animated commercial which showcases the new recruitable shipgirls in the Inverted Orthant event. Inverted Orthant, which hit all versions of Azur Lane on 29th December, is the game’s last major event of 2020. Six new Iron Blood ships find their way into the Limited Construction Pool until 13th January. The event also adds 18 New Year skins for Commanders to obtain.

While the girls are definitely very attractive, they had major competition on the same day, when Yostar released a behind-the-scenes video of the recent Enterprise commercial. Azur Lane’s poster girl was played by male singer Takanori Nishikawa, who goes by the stage name TMRevolution.

The 15-second commercial, Limit Break, depicts a muscular Nishikawa “evolving” into Enterprise. In the behind-the-scenes video, we see his transformation process and how the production crew filmed under pandemic-era restrictions. Nishikawa also shares his thoughts in an interview towards the end of the video.

This is not the first time the singer-songwriter appeared in Azur Lane promotional content. In September earlier this year, Nishikawa also appeared as Enterprise in Azur Lane’s 3rd Anniversary Special Movie, “As A Route of Ray“.
As Azur Lane continues to grow in popularity, players will definitely have a lot of new shipgirls to collect and content to play with. Just over a week ago, Operation Siren brought an entirely new game mode to keep the three-year-old game fresh.

Diablo fans might also want to tune in to the Diablo: What’s Next panel, taking place at 7.00am on the Diablo channel. Blizzard haven’t made any promises on what’s going to be talked about at the panel, but it definitely sounds like that’s where you’d have the highest chance of hearing about upcoming Diablo projects.
The second day is much more community focused, with the Community Showcase being viewable via any of the channels. There’s also going to be a World of Warcraft Q&A, viewable on both the World of Warcraft and Blizzard channels.
It should be noted that while these schedules are posted in GMT+8, the Blizzconline Schedule readjusts itself to your native timezone, helping you plan your sessions better.

miHoYo Opens Jobs In Singapore

miHoYo has opened several new job openings in Singapore via their website, looking to better handle the Global Market for their many games.

Unfortunately, those who are hoping for a Genshin Impact support studio need to temper their expectations, as most of the miHoYo jobs listed for Singapore trend more towards business and operations.

Here are some of the positions listed via miHoYo’s website:

Global Customer Service
Localization Manager
Senior Product Manager
Senior Platform Operations Manager

The positions themselves require fluency in both Chinese and English, which makes sense when you remember miHoYo is a Chinese company. The senior positions also require a degree-level education at minimum, with some prior experience.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

As you can see, a lot of these are more to the business end of running miHoYo, which means the move to Singapore could very well be a sign that the China-based developers are putting more focus on the SEA region.

What This Could Mean For SEA Fans (Speculation)
Of course, it’s not like miHoYo’s interest in the SEA region was non-existent- Honkai Impact 3rd maintains a separate client for its SEA server, independent from the China server but also running parallel to the Global one.
However, expanding operations in the region is ultimately good for fans, because it could also bring more localized events. Genshin Impact has had real-world events before, such as with its KFC event in China. While we’re not at all saying they could bring the event over here, having more operation staff in the SEA region could definitely improve the odds of events for that region.
That being said the new positions will also be dealing with global issues, considering the listing of the customer service position.

Densha de GO available to play on mobile browsers

If you’re one of those die-hard train simulator enthusiasts, then Square Enix has made the original Densha de GO available via your mobile browser. The original Densha de GO was released on the Playstation in 1997, seeing you take on the role as a train operator. Requirements for this mobile release is iOS 12 or higher on iOS devices and Android 8 or higher on Android devices, and is compatible with Safari and Google Chrome browsers.

Operate trains in three sections of the JR Yamanote Line – “Shibuya to Ebisu,” “Ebisu to Meguro,” and “Meguro to Gotanda” – as you would have experienced it back in 1997. Smoothly stop the train at each station’s stopping point for a high score, and you can also share your results to Twitter.

This mobile release is to promote Densha de GO!! Hashirou Yamanote Sen which will be available for the Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch. At present, only the Playstation 4 version has been confirmed to launch 3 December in Japan at 7,800 yen, while the Switch version has neither pricing or date. The video below compares the original Densha de GO! with the upcoming Densha de GO!! Hashirou Yamanote Sen.

The series has thus far been Japan exclusive presumably due to the focus on Japan train lines, thus not seen as appealing to worldwide audiences. In any case, if the Train Simulator DLC has you quaking, then you can give Densha de GO a try on your mobile.

Gundam Evolution Has Secret Fake Out MVP Intros And The Internet Loves Them

Gundam Evolution apparently features secret MVP intros, complete with a fake out to draw maximum salt from players.

Fans have begun to discover these secret clips, which override your currently equipped MVP choice- not unlike Sombra’s Play of the Game intro from Overwatch.

“Honestly the MVP fakeouts are great and I love the references they put in the animations, hope it doesn’t get taken away“, writes Twitter user SayaDoesStuff.
“Even in the MVP screens, we ain’t safe from a Barbatos airdrop”, writes YouTube user animegx45, warning people about the likelihood of being jumped by the Barbatos Gundam.

While no official explanation has been given for them, the leading theory is that it requires two Gundam Evolution players to score extremely close to each other- earning you the fake out MVP intro.
Some speculate that they’re tied to specific pairings of mobile suits- but given the Turn A Gundam has nothing to do with the DOM Trooper, it’s less likely compared to just being about closely-tied scores.
We’ve reached out to Bandai Namco Entertainment about the conditions of the secret fake out MVPs in Gundam Evolution, and will update with their statement.

Many of these are also incredibly fun references to the Gundam series overall, too: the DOM Troopers perform a Jet Stream attack, complete with two additional DOMs to support you in taking down your opponent.
Some of the lesser mobile suits are sure to be satisfying for players too, such as the Guntank’s which features it running over its adversaries before pointing its main guns to their head.
Considering that Gundam Evolution is built around the idea of esports, the idea of having fake outs like this is sure to be great for the community- just the fact that so many people are discussing how hype they are is a good sign for the community.

It makes sense that they would be having the collaboration with D4DJ, given Bushiroad publishes both Groovy Mix and Vanguard ZERO.
Fans had been worried about potentially missing the EN version of this collab, due to the scattered nature of the events not following the Japanese release schedule.
The event had previously released on the Japanese server in August of this year.

Overwatch – Interview With The Dallas Fuel Team!

When we were invited by Blizzard for a visit at the Blizzard HQ in California, we were also given a ride around the Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles. There, we toured around the arena and had an interview with one of the most popular teams of the Overwatch League (OWL), Dallas Fuel. We were greeted with the main roster of the team namely from left Seagull (Brandon Larned), HarryHook (Jonathan Tejedor Rua), Mickie (Pongphop Rattanasangchod), aKm (Dylan Bignet), uNKOE (Benjamin Chevasson) and Effect (Hyeon Hwang).

Seagull had a rough start at the beginning when he was coming into the interview room with a nudge on his head due to his height but he was okay. Once the team had taken their seats, Mickie, as the comical one says “Welcome to my stream.” Of course everyone laughed but we moved on with the interview questions before the new season of OWL begins.

To break the ice, a simple question was posed to them, “How are you guys doing?”. After the team had an 8 losing streak, HarryHook brushed it off stating that despite their lost streak, they are still feeling good. With uNKOE that recently joined their team, they had a great start during the Stage 3 as they nabbed their first win of the series against Shanghai Dragons.
This was due to the shot-calling by uNKOE as the support player for the team. Being in the backline and keeping watch on the opponent’s ultimates, he was able to provide information and reminding the team to beware of. Of course, uNKOE does it along side with HarryHook and it is highly dependent on the composition of the team as well. Seagull gave an example of a dive comp or when a Sombra is in the team, the team needs to communicate with each other before initiating a fight with ultimates and also the positioning of supports. So the whole team communicates and talks a lot dependent on the situation.
Micke: I can’t because I don’t understand
Seagull: He likes to pretend his English is bad when he gets tough questions
aKm known for his signature Soldier76 picks in matches was asked if he’s comfortable with his role to flex between different roles and heroes during the coming matches. Given that most of the matches require him to play DPS, there were instances where he would switch roles as an off-tank like Roadhog or Sombra since she’s pretty strong in the current meta now. He also said that he felt good to be able to perform on something else other than Soldier76 or Genji.

With Dallas Fuel still experimenting and looking for the best composition for the team, Mickie who was usually seen taking up the off-tank role with his signature hero, Dva, was switched to play as the main tank for the team. He was seen playing Orisa, Reinhardt and even Winston because he does not mind swapping roles to improve the team’s composition. By coordinating with Seagull, Mickie is also comfortable to play as a main tank with this team.
Seagull giving the smolder
During the OWL Stage 2 event, Seagull was benched for a while but now that he’s back in the main roster, we had to ask about his break in Stage 2. It was due to the number of DPS players in the team which gave him the idea to pick up on another role for the benefit of the team. He was training to play Dva during his break to get ready for Stage 3. With his signature heroes like Genji, Junkrat and even Hanzo, he’s now changing his role from a DPS to an off-tank to help the team cope with other heroes as seen during the beginning of Stage 3.

Dallas Fuel has come a long way since Stage 1 of OWL. With new members and players stepping out from their comfort zone like Seagull and Mickie, they recognize the need to be flexible in their hero pool to improve the team’s composition. Because most of the players in Dallas Fuel are DPS players like Taimou, Effect, Seagull, HarryHook and aKm, the need to be flexible and communicate with the team is needed to bring the team higher in the OWL ladder.

[TpGS 2018] An interview with the producer of Code Vein – Yosuke Tomizawa and Keita Iizuka

Planned for a release in 2018, Code Vein is an upcoming action role-playing video game for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. During the recent Taipei Game Show 2018, we (along with other press) are lucky to be able to interview the 2 producers of Code Vein – Yosuke Tomizawa and Keita Iizuka. Check out what they have told us in the interview below!

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

About the gameplay of Code Vein
The producers explained to us that at the beginning of Code Vein, the characters (aka Revenant) have all lost their memory and will need to find the memory crystal called “Blood Vein” in order to retrieve their past memory (when they still lived as a human). Although Revenant doesn’t really need to eat in order to survive, they still eat to maintain humanity in them.
While in the game, there is a Buddy system where you can build up your relationship with other characters by adventuring together. As you get closer to a character, you will be able to experience more of his/her story thus develop a richer storyline for your game as well as getting more items or Blood Code.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Every character has their favourites and by giving them the things they like, you will be able to increase your relationship level with them. There will be only 5 buddies available in the game, therefore the producers hope that players would pay more attention in developing their relationship with the buddies to discover more of the vast content.
Someone noticed that the actions in the latest demo are more straightforward compared to the previous demos, the producers respond by saying that they have listened to the players’ opinions after showcasing a demo during TGS (Tokyo Game Show), and have made some adjustment on the game to be more fast-paced. Since different outfits come with different weapons, the actions and speed will be different as well, you can choose your outfit according to your preference.

About the game world in Code Vein
On TpGS 18, the official has revealed a new location – “Firefall Street” with scene damage. In response to the concern about whether the novices would be pressured (to the difficulty of new location), the producers reassured us by saying that “Firefall Street” only appears in the latter half of game map. Players will be able to get prepared with useful items and equipment obtainable from the easier missions before challenging the harder missions.
We talked about the characters having their favourites earlier, one of the character’s favourite is Pizza and this is why we will see Domino Pizza’s logo in the game. When asked about the possibility of collaborating with Domino Pizza, the producers smiled and tell us that there is no plan for a collaboration yet, but players may take on the challenge to eat pizza while playing the game. As an addition, Code Vein is having a similar world with us and one of the similar element is pizza.

The difference between Code Vein and other works
Those who have seen Code Vein would think that it is sharing some similarities with the Dark Souls series. Comparing the difficulty of Code Vein to Dark Souls‘, the producers responded by saying that although both the game is having the same genre and high difficulty level, Code Vein is different as it is having a Buddy system so players will never fight alone. The development of Code Vein is almost finished and they have adjusted the difficulty too, they guaranteed to make players satisfied with the final product.
We all know that Code Vein and God Eater are from the same development team, but will the players enjoy Code Vein like how they enjoyed God Eater? The producers tell us that both the game are different, one focuses on Boss Raid while the another focuses on exploring. However since the difficulty will be 2 stars (at most) and you will be having a Buddy for help, the game won’t be too difficult to complete. Besides, as both the game are from the same development team, there is a possibility for a collaboration between Code Vein and God Eater!
GOD EATER 2 Rage Burst
If the missions are too difficult for you, you can also level up to smoothen your mission progress. Compared to the usual hardcore video games, Code Vein would prefer to attract players with its storyline. There will be different ending according to the choices you made too.
Graphics Quality of Code Vein
Using the normal consoles, Code Vein will be having a graphics quality up to 1080p/30FPS while PS4 Pro, Xbox One X or high-end computers can run up to 1080/60FPS. There is no plan for an optimization up to 4K for now.

These are all of our interview with Yosuke Tomizawa and Keita Iizuka! Code Vein will be available for PS4, Xbox One and PC within this year, you can visit their official website for more information. Special thanks to Plextor who gave us the chance to attend TpGS 2018 live!

Digimon Survive Has Some Parallels To Lord of The Flies Says Producer Kazumasa Habu In Interview

Digimon Survive will finally be launching at the end of this month and we were lucky enough to have an email interview with Digimon Survive’s producer Kazumasa Habu. He told us more about the game’s evolution mechanics and its inspiration from Digimon Adventure including that the story will have some parallels to novels like Lord of The Flies.

Habu has acted as the producer for a number of Digimon video games including Digimon World Re: Digitize and the Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth games. His answers in the interview emphasized that Digimon Survive will be a darker game where the player’s choices can have dire consequences.

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

How Survive Differs from Adventure

From the trailer, it’s clear that the team has a lot of love for Digimon Adventure so for our first question of the interview, we asked Habu about the inspiration the anime had for Digimon Survive.
He explained that while the team was influenced by Adventure, they also aimed to take Survive in a different direction, one that seems far darker in tone, ending with a direct comparison to William Golding’s Lord of The Flies.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Habu: “In terms of its story and setting, this title does not share any elements with Digimon Adventure. That being said, however, the influence of the Digimon Adventure series’ director, Hiroyuki Kakudo’s conceptions of the various Digimon visual identities is quite strong. In that respect, Digimon Survive concentrates less on the digital elements of the Digimon and treats them as mysterious and mystical beings from an alternate universe.
Although the story begins in a similar situation to that seen in Digimon Adventure, one major difference is that the heroes of Digimon Adventure are seen as the “chosen ones”, while the protagonists of our title are ordinary children caught up in events beyond their control. As a result, they each have their own responses to the situation — some accept their monsters while others reject them, some learn to overcome their problems and grow, and others are crushed beneath the pressure.
As our adolescent protagonists undergo trials that do not necessarily always lead to positive results, the story has some parallels to novels like Lord of the Flies.”
For those who don’t know, Lord of The Flies is a 1954 novel about a group of schoolboys that get stranded on a desert island. While at first, the boys attempt to keep order amongst their group, without larger societal structures in place, fear and anger soon cause them to become more tribal and violent, culminating in some of the boys attempting to fight and kill each other.
From the previous trailers, we can already see similarities between Lord of The Flies and Digimon Survive as the game also features children stranded in the digital world without any adult authority. With the confirmation that the characters, who are still teenagers, can die in this game, we’re beginning to see a clear picture of the heavier tone that Habu has emphasized.
Do The Digimon Permenantly Die in battle?

While characters may die, Habu also confirmed that these deaths would only be caused through choices in the visual novel story. Gameplay-wise, if a Digimon dies in battle, they’re only out for that level and can be used again afterward.
Habu: “The effects of battle performance are restricted to that battle, meaning that units which are forced to retreat in battle are not treated as if they have died.”
Evolution in Digimon Survive

He next told us more about the requirements for Digimon to evolve, specifically how partner Digimon will evolve in the super and how wild Digimon can evolve in battle.
Habu: “The main character’s partner Digimon will evolve as the story proceeds. How each Digimon evolves will depend on the “Karma” points accrued by the player through the decisions made over the course of the story. As a result, it will not be possible to unlock every Digivolution during a single playthrough of the game.
The Digimon of your companion characters will have their Digivolution events unlocked by accessing certain story branches or by developing strong bonds with the player character. Meanwhile, wild monsters can be evolved by using special items that can be obtained by searching or through other means.”
The idea of the Digimon evolving based on their partner’s mood and choices is similar to the idea of ‘dark digivolution’ that appears throughout the different Digimon anime.
Balancing Spectacle With Combat

An essential part of any Digimon game is to make the Digimon feel powerful. This however can be a little difficult in a strategy game where that spectacle will have to be balanced with things like positioning and grouping. We asked Habu how he and his team were able to achieve this balance.
Habu: “Battles use a classical tactical battle format. Incorporated within this framework are the elements of Digimon evolution and a triangular elemental system. While evolution does essentially result in a large-scale upgrade of the Digimon’s abilities, the use of levels to boost stats as well as advantages received by topographical features or elements do make it possible for less-evolved Digimon to defeat more evolved ones.
At the start of each battle, a maximum of 10 units will be selected to participate — the actual maximum may be lesser than that, depending on the battle. The units then take turns moving, based on their Speed scores. When it is the turn of a player’s unit, the player selects a command — for example, the Move Command makes the unit move along the squares on the battlefield.
Each monster possesses different abilities in terms of how far they can move and whether or not they are capable of climbing to a higher elevation. If an enemy is within the attacking range, the player can select the Attack Command, in which the attack range differs by the attack type.
Damage inflicted depends on a range of variables, including directional elements (attacking from the side or from behind), height elements (attacking from above), monster attributes (Data, Virus, Vaccine), and attack elements (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark).
Monsters can also use SP to execute attacks or evolve units. Although evolving a unit to a Digivolution state that has already been unlocked will dramatically increase its abilities, SP will be continuously consumed while in the evolved state. When the evolution is undone, and the unit returns to its less-evolved state, SP will be gradually restored every turn.
Additionally, SP can be restored by receiving support from allies by engaging in certain conversations with partners, or by using certain items. SP is the key energy resource in battle and must therefore be managed with extreme care.”
We got a lot of new information about how combat will work in Survive however the most interesting mechanic for me is how evolving will drain the Digimon’s SP. It reminds me a lot of how in Adventure where the Digimon wouldn’t be able to evolve if they were hungry due to lacking energy. It was a good way of balancing the Digimon and explaining why they didn’t just stay evolved for more extended periods of time. It’s cool to see something similar adapted into a game.
Giving minor Digimon the spotlight

The final question of the Digimon Survive interview we asked was about the choice of partner Digimon in the game. For the first time in the franchise, a lot of Digimon like Floramon, Labramon, Kunemon, and Shakomon, often relegated to minor roles in anime and games would be main characters. We asked Habo if he could tell us more about this decision.
Habu: “We felt that there are a lot of Digimon who haven’t really been given an opportunity to shine much in the franchise so far. Personally, I wanted to use this game as an opportunity to find a place for existing Digimon to have their day in the spotlight, and to showcase their unique charms and abilities to the fanbase as a whole.”
Considering Floramon and Shakomon are among my favorite Digimon, I’m certainly not complaining. There are a lot of creative designs among the older Digimon that just could certainly use more love, and I’m incredibly excited to see how the main Digimon art is portrayed in the game.
Let’s Survive

We’re very thankful to Mr. Kazumasa Habu for answering our questions about Digimon Survive for this interview. Digimon Survive is certainly shaping up to be a very different Digimon game. From the way it’s described, it sounds more or less like an interactive Digimon anime, converting plot aspects from across the TV series into a video game/visual novel format.
It also definitely sounds like Survive will focus on the darker aspects of the series. With Digimon’s history of approaching more mature topics, it’ll be interesting to see just how much more intense Survive could get. I suppose we’ll finally see for ourselves when the game finally releases at the end of the month.
Digimon Survive will launch on the 29th of July 2022 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Digimon SurvivePublisher: Bandai Namco EntertainmentDeveloper: HYDERelease Date: 2022-07-29Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam, Xbox One
Digimon Survive sees a brand-new group of teenagers, led by Takuma Momozuka, get lost on a school camping trip, finding them transported to a strange new world of monsters and danger.

As they fight their way back home through an animated world of difficult decisions and deadly battles, players’ choices throughout the game will impact the evolution of their monster allies, and the final ending. Battles in the game are fought in 2D, in a more classic SRPG style.
