Mentioning so much about gaming, the chipset used for Vivo S1 Pro is the Qualcomm SDM665 Snapdragon 665 Octa-core with an Adreno 610 GPU for very comfortable gaming performance. In terms of storage, the phone comes with a decent 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM with expandable storage up to 256 GB microSD shared with the SIM slot.

Camera
Vivo step up with their game on the standard of an expensive high grade phone. From the front, Vivo S1 Pro has a outstanding 32MP Front Camera which will bring you the details even when you zoom in. A new Pose Master also install for S1 Pro to help you with the utmost pose to show off your elegant or cute face. There’s also an AI Face Beauty function to help you quickly edit your photos with just a click.

The main camera features a 48 MP Quad Camera that can cover wide angles with their 8MP Ultrawide camera and 2MP for both macro and depth sensor. The super macro camera helps to capture with the frame-merging algorithm

Security
With the latest technology, Vivo S1 Pro also build a In-Display Fingerprint Scanning for quick and secure way to keep your phone discretely towards yourself.

Battery
Vivo S1 Pro houses a 4500 mAh (TYP) battery that makes sure that your phone has enough power to sustain gaming and all needs. Oh? The battery is getting low? No worries, the phone comes with a Type-C interface and feautres Vivo’s exclusive Dual-Engine Fast Charging technology to quickly boost up the battery level for another go!

Gameplay performances
I tried out two games that is now popular in the mobile gaming industry, Call of Duty Mobile (Garena) and PUBG Mobile. I would proudly say that Vivo S1 Pro does not disappoint. I admit that I’m using another flagship phone but Vivo S1 Pro sure do make a chance and with the lower Hz on screen, my performance did not drop.

S1 Pro’s improve cooling system is a huge impact on the phone’s overall temperature. Usually phones with high specs may tend to heat up super fast but Vivo S1 Pro did not had this problem. Given a 60Hz screen, the GPU manage to maintain at 60 FPS or higher throughout the gameplay. Not forgetting Vivo S1 Pro also features a Vivo Multi-Turbo which maximizes performance with the compensation of the overall temperature. Like the previous phones, S1 Pro also comes with a cheeky voice changer that helps you trick or toy with your teammates to either encourage them or just to make a laugh.
Overall, the phone is at a good spot for being a mid-ranged phone that actually challenges some of the top tier mobile flagships. From gaming to mobilegraphy, I was pretty impressed by how it worked out.

Interested? You can get this phone for RM1199, what a bargain! Check out a nearby Vivo official store or through online platforms like Lazada or Shopee. If you want to know more detailed information on their store or where to get them, check out their Facebook or their official website.
Both Vivo S1 Pro in Knight Black or Fancy Sky will be available in Malaysia starting on 7 December 2019. BUT! There will be a S1 Pro Superday sales event at Central I-City on 7 December with Lucky Draw and exclusive limited rebate promotion on the spot.

Acer Swift 3X Review – Creativity and Portability

Acer is gunning for the creative on the go with the Acer Swift 3X, one of the laptops in their newest lineup. While the laptop looks unassuming, it has a surprising amount of power under the hood, putting many utility laptops to shame with its combination of portability and power.

For a modest sum of RM3799, here’s what you’re getting:

Related Posts

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

Screen
14-Inch FHD IPS Panel

Weight
1.27kg

CPU
Intel core i7-1165G7

GPU
Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphic with 4GB Dedicated VRAM

Memory
16GB Ram

Storage
512GB PCIe NVMe SSD

Form Factor
The Acer Swift 3X is a pretty stylish looking laptop. It’s got a pretty minimalist design, free of any pretentious attempts to look aggressive. Our unit came in Steam Blue, which is a great color since it’s not overly specular.
The laptop itself is also pretty light, weighing in at 1.37kg. Combined with its small size, it’s a very portable machine, and will fit in most bags. Ideally, it’s great for uni students, since you’d have no trouble lugging it around campus and it can perform all manner of basic assignments with ease.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Despite this it’s got a 14-inch Full HD screen, capable of supporting 1920 x 1080 resolutions. It has an 84% screen-to-body ratio, making it perfect for previewing your latest video or catching up on your favorite shows between classes.
To accommodate its size though, the keyboard doesn’t come with a numpad. Again, this shouldn’t matter much to most people, but for the minority who would need one, it’s an important detail.

Function Factor
Despite its small size and everyman approach, the laptop comes with a fair bit of utility. It has several USB ports, including two USB 3.2s, as well as a USB Type-C and a HDMI 2.0 port. This actually plays into the “Uni student” demographic pretty well, being great for transferring files as well as plugging into bigger monitors for presentations.
There’s also the case with the laptop’s cooling, which is considerably more high tech than you’d expect out of a normal notebook. Unlike many laptops that just make you play the hand you’re dealt when it comes to cooling, the Acer Swift 3X comes with multiple cooling modes, accessible by holding down Fn + F.

Specs
Internally, the Acer Swift 3X isn’t a pushover either. While it certainly loses out to any kind of specialized laptop, it’s worth remembering that it’s not aiming to be the best at any one thing.
One of the most impressive things about it is its 512GB SSD, which is great for anyone whose work involves moving files around. While they’re not as rare as they were 5 years ago, it’s still nice to see that Acer didn’t cheap out and leave a HDD in the laptop instead.
It also has an Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU, a newly released chip that works well with small computers. It packs quite a bit of power for its small size, and is fairly energy efficient so you won’t have to worry about it running too hot.
Rather than have a GPU from one of the big brands, the Swift uses an Intel Xe MAX Graphics card with 4GB VRAM. In NVIDIA terms it’s around the same quality as a GTX 960M , meaning you’re not exactly going to be gunning for the holiday season’s top sellers with this.
That being said, it’s one of Intel’s best discrete GPUs, so if you weren’t looking for a high-end GPU in your laptop anyways this should serve you fine.
Performance
So the Acer Swift 3x is more of an everyman notebook, with no specific focus on gaming. While that means it probably won’t be running Cyberpunk at max settings, it does have the capacity to run some of the most popular games.
We took a look at the Swift’s benchmark scores on 3DMark, where it scored a 16061 on the Night Raid test. You can see the results here:

It should be noted, that the laptop actually handles editing software fairly well. Unless you’re doing something particularly taxing like a billion-poly project rendered in 8K, you’ll probably get away with using this for most projects. It’s not like the components are bad, it’s just that they’re not optimal for more demanding like gaming.
Of the games we tried, none have performed better than League Of Legends, which can run on the highest settings and get framerates of 90fps. That being said, it can struggle with chaotic teamfights, with frame drops costing you valuable click time.

There’s also the problem with the laptop’s monitor, whereby characters can be quite small and hard to see. The laptop uses a 14-inch monitor, so it can be a bit of strain on the eyes if you really try to get in the zone with this.
In a sense, it’s fine for the casual player. But if you’re looking to climb the competitive ladder and earn some brand sponsorship, you might want to look at a higher-performance PC.
We also tried some of the bigger releases from the year on the Acer Swift 3X, with Mafia: Definitive Edition and Ghostrunner. The idea was to look at two graphically intensive games, with one of them being fast-paced to see how far the game’s performance issues would be impacted.

With Mafia: Definitive edition the Acer Swift 3X couldn’t even meet the game’s minimum recommended specs. That being said it was still launchable. ‘Playable’ was a whole other story, as the game would drop to 14fps any time you were in an open area with multiple objects.
Considering one of Mafia’s selling points is its big open world, full of objects, this probably isn’t the laptop for you if that’s what you’re planning to play.

Ghostrunner, unsurprisingly brought similar results. The game can break 30fps, but only if you run it at 720p resolution. That being said, the performance isn’t smooth, which it really needs to be for the high-octane action of the game.

Closing Thoughts
The Acer Swift 3X is a great laptop among other all-rounders. While it’s not ideal for gaming, it’s certainly good enough for the uni student on the go.
As a device for doing reports, editing videos watching videos, it’s probably one of the best it is thanks to its top-of-the-line CPU and GPU set for that very purpose.
It also starts at RM3799 for price, which by all means is a decent rate considering its specs. You can get it at official Acer Online Stores, as well as authorized resellers.

Pros
Cons

Good value for money
Temper your expectations, it’s not a gaming laptop.

Very portable

The official website provides the following overview:

About
Genesis is a next-generation multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed with Unreal Engine 4. It features five-versus-five competitive gameplay, a story campaign, and other game modes. The game boasts smooth gameplay and stunning graphics, and coupled with its intuitive joystick controls, Genesis is an innovative MOBA tailored for console gamers.

Sci-Fi Battles and an Expansive Story
If one was to point out the single biggest difference between Genesis and traditional MOBAs, it would be the enjoyable player-versus-enemy feature, filled with epic storytelling. The player-versus-enemy campaign implements quick time events and other interactive controls, giving gamers an immersive experience outside of the usual competitive MOBA gameplay.
Each Campaign stage has different difficulties, and each has its respective rewards. The hardest stages offer the most bountiful loot, but you will need a solid team and good hero control to claim the reward!
Built for Joystick: Seamless Controls
For games like a MOBA with complex commands, how to use a joystick to its full potential and map each command is the key issue. Genesis took full advantage of what a joystick has to offer, and after taking into consideration the gaming habits of console players, has successfully made the controls smooth and intuitive. It doesn’t matter if you are a pro looking to claim the top spot in ladder or if you are just relaxing in your own living room with a chill vibe, you can find exactly what you are looking for in Genesis.

Kickstarter for online game RAW suspended

RAW, a sandbox MMORPG inspired by Grand Theft Auto Online and Rust, has had its Kickstarter suspended.

Creator KillerWhale Games had been deemed dishonest in regards to its financial and creative decisions, bringing about the suspension. “This creator stated in an update that they would need to raise additional funds outside of Kickstarter to complete the game. We require projects to be honest and clearly presented, and this project failed to meet that standard,” said a Kickstarter representative.

At campaign suspension, RAW gained $193,332 from 3,893 from its $78,818 target. KillerWhale had admitted the $78,818 was not enough for its ambitions through its project FAQ, saying it had additional funding sources. However, the campaign was also stated to be bundled in a hurry. Certainly not inspiring confidence.
The FAQ states the “minimal comfortable amount is around $300,000”. Apparently, there was a tight deadline to prepare the Kickstarter. Timing forecast mistakes, delays and serious life circumstances were provided as reasons for the lack of preparation.

F1 NFT Game Shuts Down And Takes NFT Cars With It

The F1 NFT game has shut down, taking all its NFT cars with it and proving that the tokens are, in fact, quite fungible.

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

According to Kotaku, F1 Delta Time, one of the first games to adopt the pay to earn model, also sported one of the most expensive NFT transactions of all time- with a fan buying a car for over 100,000 USD in 2019 and lighting the money-colored lights in the eyes of every person trying to make a quick buck off NFT games.
However, these NFT cars proved quite fungible after all, as developer Amioca has reportedly lost the license for F1, meaning the receipts people paid for can no longer be associated with the F1 brand.

Instead, the developers are issuing replacement cars to be used in another game- REVV Racing, which kind of directly contradicts any of the marketing about “owning” your digital goods.
The NFT Grift (Editorial)
This is a great case study into the NFT grift that developers are trying to push as the future of gaming- it turns out when a game shuts down, NFTs bought in it are just as useless as paid items in any other game.
At the end of the day, even the developers of F1 Delta Time didn’t own the cars in their game- considering they were still beholden to the F1 license and had it slip right between their fingers.
It’s also another point against anyone who bought into the baseless talking points of people like Mike Shinoda– even between NFT games, you can’t transfer your cars.
At the end of the day, F1 Delta Time died in much the same way that Gears Pop did- with some consolation for paying players, but ultimately all the receipts showing the money you spent meaning nothing to the next game you play.

Solo Leveling to get game, drama, film adaptations

Solo Leveling will be getting game, drama and film adaptations, according to industry sources. The supposed anime people had been petitioning for has yet to come to fruition either, but the news would at least suggest that these other adaptations are more likely.

Solo Leveling will see a game developed by Netmarble, so we can probably assume it will be a mobile free to play title. While the talks are said to be ongoing for the drama, it will be under an American producing studio, with sources tipping Warner Brothers having an interest in the project. The American production is meant to pave for wider outreach of Korean content to a global audience, and will be available through streaming platform(s).

Despite being an anime created in Japan, Panty and Stocking are known for their more Western character designs and animation style, including an episodic storytelling style with two stories per 30-minute episode. It revolves around fallen angels Panty and Stocking who were kicked out of heaven for being too lazy, bratty, and horny.
They now live with the priest Gaterbelt in Daten City and will be allowed back into heaven if they collect enough heaven coins which can be gathered from defeating the various ghosts haunting the cities.
Little else has been confirmed about the new series including its premier period but more information should be revealed closer to release.

Eternal Tree Impressions – Generically Pretty Okay

Eternal Tree launched in South Korea and Japan last week, and I finally got round to trying it out. I’m sure a number of people wanted to jump in because of the art, so here we go.

PRESENTATION
The story isn’t fully voiced which isn’t very surprising, if a little disappointing. The game does look quite pretty, with the story beats reminding me of visual novels with stylistic crops and bracketing. I like quite a few of the character designs, and the background art is gorgeous.

There is use of Live2D, with a character’s initial art having subtle movements compared to when they appear on the gacha screen. The flashier art can be unlocked when you hit a certain level cap for the character, to later grace your homescreen.

Outside of the story and the menus, the combat uses chibi sprites. I find them cute, though maybe this too might be less than ideal for some. A character’s special move gets accompanied by some pretty animation though, so it’s a blend of both. The menus are quite tidy, if maybe one too many taps to get to certain things.

GAMEPLAY
That said, the gameplay as a whole is fairly standard. Go through maps, clear story thresholds to unlock new mechanics, level up dudes, that kind of thing.

Choose either a male or female protagonist and you’ll get thrown right in. What’s interesting is that your main character can job change, wherein jobs come with their own looks, skills, and equippable weapon that can be crafted. In this aspect, it reminds me of Granblue Fantasy where you can slot in “echoes” into your “grid” and have 4 support “summons” (which are sick looking mechs in this case), which have their respective effects.

Both the echoes and characters have level caps which you can increase simply by farming more materials, so just choose the element you need to farm and start working on the stuff. Levelling up will then improve skills. Duplicates for characters are shards which is honestly a little annoying but whatever; they can be improved up to 5 time for increased base stats. Echoes just require more copies of themselves. Characters do not level up in battle.

To start, character positioning doesn’t really matter, so just slot in your strongest SSRs and go. You can see where bosses have that little square under their HP bar which, from eyeballing, indicates the attack’s range. Later enemies have “overdrive” bars which you can then break to make them more vulnerable. There are multi-player battles, though I didn’t find one when I started trying the game.

You can raise your bond with your characters to learn more about them, and get some small gifts in return. Here, they’re rendered in chibi as well. You can give them presents to accelerate that bond gain.

After an hour or so fiddling with the game, I can’t say I’m particularly enthusiastic about the gameplay loop besides being a side game I let grind on full auto. You need skip tickets too, which, eh. There’s a battlepass system as well.
GACHA
At 5% SSR rates, Eternal Tree is on the higher end of the spectrum. However, individual item rates are godawful, with 1% for a featured item. For what it’s worth, the first rigged 10-pull isn’t fixed to a single SSR, and there’s in-built reroll, so keep at it.

There is a spark system where you get additional items at certain thresholds, with a featured character at 160 pulls. This seems pretty generous.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
It’s pretty, it’s generic. If you like any of the voice actors or artists, then you might endeavour to stick for longer. Otherwise, I don’t see this as anyone’s “main” game.

Char’s Counterattack Netflix Release Announced

Netflix will be getting Char’s Counterattack, among other classic Gundam movies as they head to the popular streaming platform.

According to Netflix, Char’s Counterattack will be available for streaming from June 18th, letting you catch up with the end of the rivalry between Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, which first started in the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

This isn’t the Gundam series’ debut on Netflix- Gundam Unicorn, the later entry of Gundam’s “Universal Century” timeline, has been available to stream on the platform for a while now. However for many people, this will be the first time they’d be able to catch one of the most iconic Gundam films  on a legal platform, complete with English subs.
What Is The Universal Century
Universal Century is the mainline Gundam timeline, set in the titular Universal Century, a calendar marking human colonization of space. It starts in UC0079 with the events of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, following up Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, before ending Amuro and Char’s story with Char’s Counterattack.
The timeline itself doesn’t end there, though, as Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn picks up years later after Char’s Counterattack, showing the aftermath of the events of the movie.

Durango: Wild Lands shutters to lands unknown, ends service

Durango: Wild Lands received one of its largest content updates in Volcanic Islands. Its shutdown was announced via Facebook post today. The post is attributed to Eunseok Yi (executive producer of What!Studio) and Seungmyeong Yang (producer of Durango: Wild Lands).

They thank the players, whom they refer to as pioneers, who have been part of the Durango world. After all the work that has been done to transform the once vacant lands to flourishing territories, they apologize to players for not being able to continue their expeditions.

The game will still be playable until its termination. Development will continue for a period. A finale to the main storyline is currently in preparation, available through quests. “The end is connected to the beginning”, with K and X as its main characters. It promises to include answers to questions arising from exploring Durango’s world.
PvP content will be introduced in Combat Island, structurally similar to Warp Rush. Pioneers gather in a small island to be the last one standing. Loot from these battles can be used to craft rare weapons to show off to other pioneers. The update will also include instruments. Crafting these instruments will allow pioneers to select or edit music to play in the game.

As service will come to an end, an update to speed up progress will be included to allow pioneers to enjoy the various content. Developers will be working to not diminish the gameplay through this update.
A method of retaining private islands is in the works so that pioneers can keep them even after service ends. Pioneers will also be able to show their islands to others.
Game service will be terminated 18 December 2019 (UTC+9). In-app purchases will cease 16 October 2019. Lore of the Durango world will continue. They hope you will join them in future adventures. How did you enjoy the game?

[UPDATE] English Voice-over Included In Blade II: The Return of Evil!

								[UPDATE] The game is now up in South Korea App Store and Google Play Store! Sadly, it’s not in other regions…
Just last week, we’ve reported on the upcoming Unreal Engine 4 mobile game, Blade II: The Return of Evil that is to be launched tomorrow (28th June 2018) in Korea. The game boasting its unreal graphics on mobile and crisp action has caught much attention from RPG players. Though Kakao Games owns the rights for global publishing, there’s still no information on when the global release will be. However, they have given us light with a new trailer showcasing English voice-overs during a showcase in South Korea!

As seen above, the voice-over casts are not your average Jane/Joe. The casts include Allegra Clark who has lent her voice in Mass Effect and Dragon Age, Victoria Atkin in Titanfall 2 and Assassin’s Creed, Richard Epcar in Injustice 2 and Monster Hunter and Mattew Waterson in Call of Duty and God of War. During the showcase event, it was confirmed that both Korean and English voice-overs will be featured in the coming launch tomorrow where players will be able to switch by preference.
Though both English and Korean will be featured in the game tomorrow, it was not mentioned if the game will also launch in the global market. The only way to find out is to wait for the official launch tomorrow.

Dragon Project pre-registration opens

Game developer Colopl has announced that the pre-registration run for the English version of Dragon Project has been opened. The game is scheduled for a launch in Malaysia, Brazil, the Philippines and Singapore very soon.

The best way to describe Dragon Project as a game is that it is Colopl’s take on the monster hunting genre, not unlike Monster Hunter and its ilk. You will be planning out monster raids in a 4 player co-op environment. While there are no classes per se, there are 5 different weapons for you to choose from and craft, namely Sword and Shield, Dual-Wield, Broadsword, Spear and Bow.

Dragon Project features an interesting mix of open-world and instance-based content, which makes for quite an experience. Players will be grinding and farming for materials in the open world environment, and be transported alongside three other players to instances to fight bosses. If the genre is your calling, you may want to give this a run.

Luminous Productions To Merge With Square Enix In May

Luminous Productions, the company that developed Final Fantasy XV and Forspoken will now be merging with publisher Square Enix. The merger will happen on the 1st of May 2023.

This was announced on Square Enix’s Official Website which made the following statement explaining the reason for the merger:

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

“The merger is part of the Company’s efforts to further bolster the competitive prowess of the Group’s development studios, a goal set forth under its current medium-term business strategy. SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. has developed numerous AAA high-definition (HD) games and possesses a wealth of intellectual property (IP) and content. Luminous Productions Co., Ltd. is meanwhile equipped not only with AAA title development capabilities but also technical expertise in areas such as game engine development. Combining the two entities will further enhance the Group’s ability to develop HD games.”
In some ways, it feels a little odd to say that Luminous Productions is merging with Square Enix when they were never quite separate entities in the first place. Luminous Productions was formed as a subsidiary of Square Enix, assembled from employees that worked on Final Fantasy XV. By merging with Square Enix, they’re essentially just going back to being an internal studio as opposed to an external studio.

While not confirmed, a likely reason for the merger is the reception to Forspoken. This was the studio’s first original IP which launched earlier this year to mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Some people enjoyed the open-world action mechanics while others disliked its story and awkward dialogue. While we don’t know the game’s total sales, its first-week sales in Japan were fairly low at less than 30k copies sold.

ZenFone Max Pro M2 Review – The M2 launches as a viable option for a low to mid-range phone at below RM1000

The successor of the ZenFone Max Pro M1 has launched in the form of the ZenFone Max Pro M2. Prior to the launch, we got our chance to experience the new phone and we have written a review on it. Check out the review below if you are interested.

Some aspects of the M1 are carried over to the M2. Remember that Face Login feature that the M1 has for your security? It returns in the the M2 along with the same long battery life and triple card slots. However, what sets the M2 apart from the M1 are the improvements made to the successor as a whole.
ZenFone Max Pro M2 Specifications

CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 64-bit octa-core (8 x Kyro 260 cores)
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 512
RAM: 4GB / 6GB EMMC
Storage: 64GB
Display: 6.3-inch Full HD+ All-screen display LED Backlit IPS LCD
Resolution: 2280 x 1080
Cameras:

12 MP AI main rear camera, 5MP secondary depth sensing camera (rear)
13MP front camera

OS: Android 8.1 “Oreo”, Android 9.0 “Pie” in 2019 (upgrade)
Size: 157.9 x 75.5 x 8.5 mm
Weight: 175g
Colors: Midnight Blue, Cosmic Titanium
Battery: 5000 mAh with fast charging

The Design

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

The ZenFone Max Pro M2 comes in a slightly different yet elegant design compared to the M1. The M2 features a slightly larger screen at 6.3 inches. In conjunction with a slightly larger screen, the aspect ratio and resolutions are also increased for better viewing. Furthermore, despite having the same brightness and contrast as the M1, the M2 has a higher color accuracy. In addition to the improvements, the screen is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 which has twice the toughness of the predecessor. Up till now, only one other phone uses the same protection which is the mobile gaming beast, the ROG Phone.

The elegance aspect of the design can be seen from the back. The M2 has a chassis constructed from clear acrylic and features 3D rounded edges.The phone comes in two available colors: Midnight Blue and Cosmic Titanium. In addition to the beautiful colors, a “wave” pattern can be seen at the back. The pattern becomes obvious when viewed against the light as it shimmers like the waves.
The Cameras

The ZenFone Max Pro M2 comes equipped with 3 cameras (2 at the back and 1 in front). The front camera comes at 13MP which is great for selfie enthusiasts. On the other hand, the cameras at the back consist of one 12MP main rear camera and a 5MP sensor camera. Although the main camera does not have the MP of high-end phones, the M2’s camera comes with AI Scene Detection capabilites making it the first in Max series to have it.

For those who do not know, the feature applies the settings that would render the best results based on the scenes or subjects the user is shooting. Together with the Snapdragon 660’s AI Engine, the camera’s AI data model can detect up to 13 different scenes and subjects. The data model will reference stock photos on Asus servers.

In addition, the AI Camera has better low light capability compared to the predecessor. This allows users to take better and brighter low light shots. On the other hand, the camera interface is now more user friendly. The interface has quick access buttons for the more commonly used extras of the camera such as Beauty and HDR modes.
Sample picture taken with ZenFone Max Pro M2
Overall, the AI Camera and better user interface makes photography simple for casual photographers yet more efficient for advanced users. Whether your intention is for taking family photos or scenery, the M2’s camera delivers the right results.
Performance and battery
The ZenFone Max Pro M2 carries itself well in the performance department. Equipped with the Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor as well as Qualcomm Adreno 512 GPU, the phone is expected to at least run decently with most games.

We tested Black Desert Online (BDO) on the phone to determine how it performs. For those wondering, BDO is notorious for requiring high specs to run at maximum settings. We found out that the M2 was able to run BDO rather smoothly with some minor slow downs at times. All things considered, being able to run BDO smoothly at most times can be considered an achievement for a mid-range phone. We also tested other games like GrandChase and the phone was able to keep up.
Battery-wise, the M2 has one of the longest battery life compared to other smartphones. Similar to the M1, it comes with a 5000mAh battery, giving it an outstanding battery life. This allows long term usage of the phone more viable than most other phones. Furthermore, this benefits mobile gaming as playing games on the smartphone can be quite taxing on the battery. To put into perspective, 1 hour of continuous gameplay of BDO only took out 12% of the battery.
Triple card slot

The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2 comes with a triple card slot for SIM and SD cards. Similar to the M1, the M2 allows users to have both storage and SIM cards together in one unit unlike some other phones which forces users to choose between them. This benefits users who require a balance between work and private lines. Furthermore, users who frequently travel can keep a secondary SIM in the phone for overseas data usage and a SD card for photos together in the same unit.
Conclusion

In conclusion, the ZenFone Max Pro M2 is a recommended phone for people who do not have a large budget to afford a high-end phone. Available at RM859 (4GB + 64GB) and RM999 (6GB + 64GB), it sits well within the low to mid-range area of phones. For the specifications, we say that getting the M2 will be worth the money.
Note: The unit shown is from India with a different plug. The one sold in Malaysia will have a plug suitable for local use as well as earphones.

GamerBraves Newsletter vol. 72 – The FGO-ification of Melty Blood and The Handling of Niche Series

It often feels like Fate/Grand Order (FGO) is everywhere nowadays and fans of the Tsukihime fighting game Melty Blood: Type Lumina are certainly feeling that as well this week. The game recently got two new DLC characters: The Count of Monte Cristo and Ushiwakamaru from FGO. This means that 3/4 of the second season of DLC for Melty Blood consists of Chaldea servants with the other character being Neco Arc.

Needless to say, a lot of players were upset. There were Twitter threads, review bombing on Steam and general disappointment from Melty’s small but loyal fanbase. This however is a problem with a lot of companies/franchises when one title, in particular, becomes such a cash cow, inevitably it starts taking away attention from other series. Even other Fate/products seem to take a backseat to Grand Order nowadays.

Identity V – A Dead by Daylight style mobile game developed by NetEase

Fan of horror games would probably have played (or at least heard of) Dead by Daylight, but did you know that NetEase is currently working on a mobile game similar to Dead by Daylight? Having a similar gameplay where players are separated into Killer and Survivors, the mobile game is titled as Identity V (第五人格).

*Update: The game is now in beta.

Check out their trailer below:

As how Dead by Daylight is played, killer’s role is to hunt down the survivors while the Survivors will be trying to escape the Killer and fight to survive. The killer is strong with the ability to search and chase the victims. On the other side, the Survivors are weak but having an advantage in resources and number of allies.
Here is a short gameplay preview (by Taylor Cole):

However, Identity V is different from Dead by Daylight as it applies the Gothic Cinematic Style of Tim Burton, which blend themes of fantasy and horror furthermore. You can find more information about the game from their official website and if you have a China phone number, you can pre-register the game!

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin Isn’t An Isekai, Says Producer Jin Fujiwara

Final Fantasy Origin producer Jin Fujiwara has shot down fan theories that Stranger of Paradise was actually an Isekai, raising many, many questions about what the game actually is.

For context, fans had long been speculating that the plot for Team Ninja’s Final Fantasy Origin would feature Isekai elements- namely that Jack and his allies had been whisked away from our world into theirs.

“It is not meant to be like an isekai, sorry. We understand that people may have seen the protagonist’s outfit, which seems very modern compared to your typical high fantasy, and may have had that interpretation”, Fujiwara says.
You couldn’t really blame fans for thinking that, though. Jack and his friends look straight out of our world, with Jack even whipping out a cellphone and playing Limp Bizkit triumphantly at least once during the game’s demo.

Rather than assume that Jack’s Spotify library carried over across dimensions though, Fujiwara says that’s basically just a song that exists in the Final Fantasy universe.
“In this realm where Final Fantasy 1 also takes place, we have also have the people of Lufenia — they have ancient technologies, but they also have very advanced technologies at the same time. So they kind of coexist between the sort of high fantasy but also modern-looking elements.”, he says.
“That’s probably where people may have taken notice of how their clothing is different and felt that it was unusual and gave that sort of Isekai impression. But if you do play the story and find out what the background is of the people of Lufenia, you see how they utilize both the fantasy elements and very modern sort of technological aspects as well. Once you play through, you will see that it makes sense”.

Ahead of its 9 September launch, we have some Re:Zero Lost in Memories gameplay preview, courtesy of 4gamer. The basic conceit of Lost in Memories is being an “IF” story, diverging from the canon story with 2D battles thrown in.

As is usually the case, characters will have their strengths and weaknesses. They appear to have at least three skills, with normal attacks and specials. The stronger the skill, the longer their cooldowns will be. It would seem that leaders will also have a skill, presumably a passive skill, that encourages you to find synergistic compositions.
When characters execute their specials, they will be accompanied by animations, on both their SD models and their cut-ins. Improve their ability in battle with Memory Crystals! Additionally, there will be skill boards/skill trees for even more enhancement.

There appears to be a PVP element with the arena, as well as something dubbed “Tower of the Strong”. In the latter, you’ll progress through escalating floors which may restrict the use of the same party for consecutive floors.

Arguably the main draw of the game would be the IF story branches. Going by the screenshots, there is an incredibly extensive flowchart of alternate scenarios, so fans would be able to expect a very involved story. Any fan translators on hand will have a lot to work on.

We have a week to go before the official expected launch of Re:Zero Lost in Memories, so this gameplay preview will soon be something you can try out for yourself. We’d assume it won’t be a while, if at all, this game gets localized for audiences outside of Japan, but we’ll stay tuned.

Presumably season 1 will be going through the events of the first game. Naturally, we’d have to wait and see how the show will pan out, as adapting for a different medium will most definitely see a degree of change. There’s nothing regarding a release date for the series yet, which will probably take a while to complete – what with the actual pandemic climate and all.
In the mean time, The Last of Us is supposedly getting a remake, while a skeleton for a Part 3 to the game franchise is already being considered. Both the original The Last of Us and Part 2 have been critically acclaimed, and there will be quite big expectations moving forward regarding any future plans.

Pokemon Go Coming to Your Apple Watch!

Well normally our watch just tells us the time. For goodness sake we’re living in the 21st Century we should be watching TV or catching Pokemons with it! Oh wait, we can do that now? Well we can’t really catch Pokemon with our watch, but we do get notified when there’s a nearby Pokemon or Pokestops around you with the Apple Watch!

There has been rumors hovering around our heads about Pokemon Go NOT coming to the Apple Watch in the new future because Niantic was coming up with their own wearables. We got the first part of the rumor wrong because there will be an update that brings the game to the Apple Watch. The new update will let you explore the world around you without constantly checking your phone, instead you just check your wrist. It’s fairly convenient I’d say. You can also hatch your Pokemon eggs.
It’s pretty easy to navigate the watch. You basically tap the screen on your watch and navigate the UI to collect items from PokeStops. However when you do encounter a Pokemon, you’ll be notified on the watch, but you still need to pull out your phone to catch it. So for everything that you do on the watch will be linked to your Pokemon Go Activity ring. If you own an Apple Watch, it will definitely make it easier to catch specific Pokemons.
