The final trailer for Pokémon Legends: Arceus has been released

Pokemon: Legends Arceus is out in just under two days and in preparation, Nintendo has released the ‘Hisuian Final Starter Evolutions‘ trailer before the game’s launch.

Ironically, you don’t actually see the Pokemon Legends final starter evolutions in this trailer but it still does a good job getting you pumped for when you will finally see them in the game.

Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon, is said to have shaped all there is in this world. During your adventure, you will explore and survey the Hisui region and become more involved with the leaders of the Diamond and Pearl Clans—eventually finding yourself drawn into the mysteries surrounding Arceus. It seems that the secrets surrounding Arceus may be uncovered atop Mount Coronet, which towers above the Hisui region.
The Space-Time Rift That Has Appeared in the Sky Above Mount Coronet

Above Mount Coronet’s peak, cracks have appeared in the sky, staining it an unnatural and foreboding hue. The people of the Hisui region call this phenomenon a “space-time rift,” and they fear it, not knowing what it truly portends. Yet it seems that the root cause behind its appearance might have something to do with a certain Pokémon.

The Mysterious Temple That Stands atop the Mountain’s Peak

There is a magnificent temple atop Mount Coronet. Built-in ancient times, it is filled with beautiful statues of Pokémon that have been blessed with special protection—including the noble Pokémon. Only those who can conquer the difficult path leading up the towering heights of the mountain may reach this temple. You’ll have to train and grow strong with your Pokémon if you hope to see it for yourself.
The Evolutions of the three first partner Pokémon
Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott are the three Pokémon you can choose from when selecting your first partner Pokémon. And as your partner grows stronger during your adventures together, it will eventually evolve. Rowlet evolves into Dartrix, Cyndaquil into Quilava, and Oshawott into Dewott. When Pokémon evolve, their appearance changes, and their stats improve, too, making these Pokémon even more reliable and heartening partners to have at your side!
And When They Evolve Further…

After Dartrix, Quilava, and Dewott grow strong enough, they’ll be able to evolve once more—and when these three evolve in the Hisui region, it seems that they evolve into forms never before seen!
Discover them for yourself by adventuring together with these Pokémon!
It should be noted that every new Pokemon and regional form in Pokemon Legends has been leaked due to retail copies being sold early. If you’re too impatient to wait a couple of days, you can always search for the new pokemon but wouldn’t you prefer the surprise.

[LVL UP KL 2019] Philosophy and art, interview with Hideo Minaba of CyDesignation

It’s Hideo Minaba‘s first time in the Southeast Asia region, much less Malaysia. That name should be familiar to some of you; the man is the CEO of CyDesignation, and is a designer for Cygames. He talks about the atmosphere in Malaysia being very different from Japan, from Eastern Asia. Let’s see what he has to say.

As with most people working in the creative field, he must have some source of inspiration. Many different things inspire him, he answers. He pays a lot of attention to his surroundings, and this is reflected in his artwork which is often a combination of what he’s experienced in everyday life. He can’t reveal much about the work flow for, say, Granblue Fantasy, regarding providing concept art or other projects. He does talk about a rough process of creation, starting with a concept to the rough sketches and drafts, then to the inks before finally an actual character design piece.

Halluel and Malluel from Granblue Fantasy. Minaba is credited for their designs.
Should you want to be a game artist, Minaba mentions there is an element of luck. The meeting between an artist and the right studio or agency is important. He too had to go through a similar challenge to find a “right match”. Other than talent, the right environment is also another thing. You’ve heard of the advice to “never give up”, which Minaba also expounds, and to have fun in the process. As you continue creating, finding the fun in it can help you shrug off the hardships.
Minaba and the translator on hand at his keynote panel.
Minaba doesn’t have any new illustration books that are officially published, but he does have collection works where he compiles pieces to sell at special events. It’s hard to answer regarding specific locations at where these works are sold, since it’s often published under a single entity – namely, CyDesignation. Should there be demand for a collection of works, then they will be open to the idea to print it.

Cygames’ Instagram often shares images, some referring to CyDesignation work.
He’d definitely would like to collaborate with artists, with so many of them out there. Minaba’s not exactly sure of who they are, but he mentions a Graffiti artist, popular in the United States, he’s interested to work with. With such a creative medium, there’s plenty of tough and fun times that can happen simultaneously. Creating and designing a game is hard, but when the product does get published and released, and users appreciating and enjoying the game, then that becomes the best part of the job.
Once, Minaba mentioned wanting to create “the ultimate fantasy game“.  Revisiting that now, it’s quite a philosophical question. Back then, there weren’t as many variations in the market, but these days, there’s plenty of works to choose from. It changes the understanding of “fantasy”, he muses, with an ever-changing audience along with their interpretations. What is the “ultimate fantasy”? It only gets harder to answer.
Minaba’s artwork for Final Fantasy XII. Is the “ultimate fantasy” also a “final” one?
To Malaysian fans, Minaba says there’s plenty of new things he’s seeing here and it’s very refreshing and stimulates his curiosity. He hopes to continue working with you in the future as well. Let’s hope for even more works later down the line!

The proud steed of many Final Fantasy characters, the Fluffy Fluffy Chocobo Plush can be spotted sitting adorably. It is approximately 5.1 inches wide, 6.3 inches long and 6.5 inches tall.
Occasionally, Chocobo can be encountered as enemies or even as summons in the Final Fantasy games, some even capable of performing the devastating Chocobo Meteor attack.

Famed for their pom-pom on top of their head, the Fluffy Fluffy Moogle Plush makes a great companion for Final Fantasy fans, be it for cuddling or for display. This plush is noticeably larger than its Chocobo variant, at 7.9 inches wide, 4.1 inches long and 12.6 inches tall.
Commonly seen as a shopkeeper in games, the only thing missing from the plush is its ability to say “kupo”.
You can pre-order the Chocobo and Moogle plushies on the Square Enix online merchandise store. Both of them are priced at $32.99 USD each and are expected to ship in January 2022.

Cookie Run Kingdom Gets New Halloween Inspired Character and Costumes

Cookie Run Kingdom has unveiled the latest information about a small Halloween update that will premiere on the 28th of October right before the day itself.

The update’s content will come in the form of a new character and new costumes.

New Cookie: Pumpkin Pie CookieThe Cookie Run Kingdom Halloween festivities begin with the magical Pumpkin Pie Cookie will be brought to life by English voice actor, Suzie Yeung. Voice actors Garyung Kim and Kaede Hondo will voice Pumpkin Pie Cookie in the Korean and Japanese versions respectively.

Pumpkin Pie Cookie is the 62nd addition to the Cookie Kingdom and she will leave players wondering if she’s truly a Cookie or a paranormal phenomenon. Made from a pumpkin and born in the garden of an abandoned house, Pumpkin Pie Cookie joins the battle just in time for the spookiest time of the year. She uses her pie throwing skills and tattered doll’s help to attack her opponents.

As with the other playable cookies, players can obtain Pumpkin Pie Cookie through the game’s Gacha feature or by collecting soul stones. She is a magic-based cookie, meaning that she naturally stands in the middle row.

Her attack seems to involve summoning pumpkin-themed monsters to attack enemies. We don’t know exactly how effective this will be in PvP or PvE but we’ll see soon enough.
I really like the gothic lolita design she has going on, it’s very cute and fits with Halloween. Let’s hope I can get some good rolls for her.
We’ve even made a new guide for using Pumpkin Pie Cookie, check it out!
Cookie Costumes

The latest update reveals 47 different outfits including limited-time Halloween-themed costumes for GingerBrave, Fig Cookie, Madeleine Cookie, Latte Cookie, and Strawberry Crepe Cookie. Players can acquire the limited-time costumes through the collection of Rainbow Cubes earned through various game challenges or purchased at the in-game Shop.

This will be the first time that the Cookie Run Kingdom has released new themed costumes for existing cookies and it would be cool for them to continue baking more for future events or festivities.
I must say, while all of these new costumes look great, the idea of GingerBrave actually wearing clothes might be the scariest idea of all of them.
Cookie Run Kingdom is available for mobile devices.

Awaiting the secret cow level: Diablo Immortal Alpha Impressions

We’ve managed to acquire access to the Technical Alpha of the all-hallowed, for phones, Diablo Immortal, and there’s plenty to unpack. For further reading, you can check out our previous articles on the game:

Diablo Immortal Deep Dive
Minimum specifications required

Let’s get right into it!

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

BASICS
We must stress that the build we played is a technical alpha version, so it’s not the final version of the game. The level cap is 45, but it will eventually go up to 60 in the full build along with opening up more zones. The graphics settings aren’t the most robust ones, offering presets at Low, Medium, High and Ultra, with the option for High FPS.

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

Presently, there are four classes:

Demon Hunter
Wizard
Monk
Barbarian

You can choose to play as a male or female character, with accordingly flashy and unique class selection animations. Their stats differ from what you may recognize from Diablo 3.

For a more streamlined mobile experience, the mana cost for skills have been removed, instead using cooldowns. All four of your skills will be on the right side of your screen, with movement controlled by a virtual joystick on the left. If you’ve played other mobile ARPG offerings, or even MOBAs, this control scheme should be familiar to you. If not, it’s easy enough to pick up so don’t worry too much about it. With the absence of a MP system, skills will use their own unique resources where applicable. They also have ultimate abilities!
All in all, the UI is pretty clean, and doesn’t obstruct much of your view, while generally keeping the information easily readable. Learning which icons or colours represent what may take some time though, like that of affixes, depending on the person.
WHAT OF THE STORY?

Lore enthusiasts will want to know more, considering how Immortal is set after 2, but before 3. Baal makes his appearance, representing the prime evils. Too bad the Horadrim seal the nice demon after the Dark Exile. Besides Baal, you’ll find a few other prominent bosses from the series also saying hi, like Blood Countess and Leoric. The story is short in its current state, but it’s enough to give the idea of the evils busy playing their own game, as many figures try to vie for power and dominate Sanctuary. Zultan Kulle and Tal Rasha will also enter the scene, both in their prime, especially Tal Rasha decked out in his iconic gear. In this Technical Alpha build, you can clear the available story in just a day, so not very long.

INTO THE DEPTHS
The core gameplay is what you will know: do quests, follow the story, and run around smiting hostiles as you pick up loot. Your favourite Treasure Goblins are in the game, though so far we’ve only encountered the gold-only variant. Cursed chest events return, where you kill enemies within the given time limit to get another chest. It almost feels that doing anything in the game can give out rewards, though these activities are character based, so any alts you have will need to run through them again.

There’s no gear durability – hurrah! – and upgrades for one piece of gear can be passed on to its replacement, so it’s not too big a hardship to improve pieces you find. Enemies will drop a variety of different globes, from health globes for HP restoration or quickening globes and its ilk, where they provide temporary buffs. Considering how potions in this game are not instant health restorations, and instead give gradual regeneration, having these health globes or anything to drop could be the difference between winning or losing encounters. Shrines are also present, providing similar globe buffs, but over a longer duration. Likewise, killing monsters will add to your Resurrections Stone charges; these don’t deplete charges if you die in a rift.

The enemies are on the smarter side too, with ranged enemies keeping their distance and may even try to run when you approach. You might come across phantoms that will also teleport away if you get into range. Every area has their own approximate recommended level, but spawns will be kept to your level. Should you hit the level cap of an area, the enemies that spawn will be 2 levels below yours so that you still can earn some decent loot.
You’ll encounter two kinds of dungeons:

Story Dungeons

Typically longer, and have different sequences or conditions to spawn the boss. You’ll be able to challenge the associated boss at any time

Lairs

Spawns randomly in maps, remaining on the map for a limited amount of time. It may have multiple floors, but these are generally small and short with some side encounters within

If you come across Elder Rifts, you’ll have to defeat the guardian or else you’ll get no loot.
FURTHER STILL

You can meet other players in the game besides PVP which exists in the game, and you’ll see them wander around. With the limited technical alpha access, it’s more difficult to find another random, but this should change on release. If they attack any monster, that creature’s name will be greyed out, so that you can’t try to kill steal it or get its drops. That’s fine and all, but it also means there’s no particular incentive to help others besides your altruistic nature.

The looting itself is pretty convenient, with chests spawning next to you on quest completion. Any gear that drops will always be one of your class, so one layer of RNG is removed when you want to hunt for equipment, and hunt you will: the legendary drop could vary wildly depending on how lucky you are that day. You don’t need to shell out any money for this!
Even when you do get a sweet piece of loot, there’s no transmogrification right now, so no catwalk now. Besides, gear selection is also more rigid in this build: monks and barbarians can only dual wield, with no option to equip a shield, and certain weapons are only locked to either mainhand or offhand, with no swapping allowed. Equipment aside, you can rank up skills up to 13 in this technical alpha. Some skills can’t, but this should be gradually introduced as the game gets closer to launch.
Legendaries available in the game right now are refreshingly ‘straightforward’ so as to speak, as there are less variables to the stats you obtain, giving a fixed bonus instead of rolling the dice between a 150% to 200% bonus. They do come with the potential to completely change the way how your skill works, like a regular tap spell could become a channelling one, or adding an AOE effect. There’s build variety awaiting players who get their hands on some shiny loot!

Your characters will all share Paragon levels, but stashes are character locked, so no handing over of loot to an alt. Premium currencies are shared among all characters, but not in-game gold, which is fair enough.
THOUGHTS

For one, Diablo Immortal might challenge Genshin Impact to be one of the more demanding mobile games out there. Experienced Diablo players would want to round up enemies in a large pack and eliminate them all with AOE spells for the most efficient farming which is fine on PC, but a lower-specced phone may find it difficult to render all the effects to result in performance issues. In higher difficulty rifts, that FPS drop could spell your character’s demise if you get hit when you’re unable to respond.

As with Diablo 3, some legendaries can make or break skills or builds, and each class has their own distinct flavour to give them identity. We’ll have to see how they implement new classes, be it ones you’ve already seen before or completely unique ones. The technical alpha was as such there wasn’t a need to spend any money on the premium goodies: just put in the time, and you should be able to get to where you want to be. It’ll definitely be a much longer road than if you pay, when you’re going to roll for legendary affixes and charms, but you’ll be able to see exactly where and how your character grows over time. Hell 2 for now is, appropriately named, hell, and can get your character killed in just a few hits. Fun times. Make sure that gear rating is up to snuff! The devs go into more detail about the itemization in the game here.

The way the Blacksmith works in the game makes it a little easier on your hunt for the perfect stats, as you can change the Bonus Attributes on an item through the Reforging system. You can game the RNG just a little bit better, which is pretty nice.
The alpha itself is already pretty great, perhaps even better than initially expected, so it’s certainly one to look forward to. The technical alpha shows no apparent signs of predatory monetization, so there’s at least something to be relieved about. Should there be a wider testing opportunity, be sure to try it, and you might be surprised at what you’ll find. It’s going to be a long, long road to greatness, but you will get there, the Diablo way.
We’ll continue enjoying the alpha while we wait for the full release!

Guilty Gear Strive Announces I-No, Closing Off The Launch Roster

Guilty Gear Strive has announced boss character I-No as the final addition to the game’s base roster, ahead of its April release.

Announced during the second Japan Fighting Games Roundtable livestream, I-No is a boss character from Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival. She’s appeared in subsequent Guilty Gear games as well, and is largely considered one of the most iconic Guilty Gear characters alongside actual face of the series Sol Badguy due to her Rock-N-Roll aesthetic.

Her moveset in Strive looks to be largely unchanged from previous games, as she retains her feature of being to hover in the air and having vicious mixups at her disposal.
Her attacks are largely music-themed, with blades formed from what appears to be Equalizer bars as well as grabs that use her guitar string.

One point of contention among fans is at the very end of her teaser, where she grows wings in a mini cinematic. While typically most trailers show off a character’s super, I-No is doing what appears to be her Instant Kill from Guilty Gear XX. However, that same move came back in Xrd as her regular Overdrive, so it’s anyone’s guess if Arc System Works was trying to give us a sneak peak at the Instant Kills in the game.
We also got a glimpse of the Arcade mode’s tag feature, whereby other CPU-controlled characters can join you in the fight. From the looks of things, I-No is reprising her status as a Boss character, and will likely be the boss of Strive’s arcade mode.
Sadly, I-No’s reveal does sting for fans hoping for their own characters to come to Strive, since it’s been confirmed that she would be the last addition to the game’s launch roster. DLC characters are indeed confirmed to be coming to Strive, but it’s going to be a while before we hear about any of those.

In addition to that, you’ll also be able to face off against Apex monsters in bespoke quests, rather than only facing them in the game’s Rampage quests.

They’ve also improved quality of life for hunters with the Monster Hunter Rise Elder Dragons update, allowing you to forge layered armors to customize your armor sets without worrying about having a sub-optimal build.
The update will also see the unlocking of players Hunter Ranks, bringing new rewards for players who have hit the endgame. Speaking of, Capcom have also announced that they’d addressed the previously mentioned issues with the game’s melding pot bug.
Finally, Capcom also announced the return of Event Quests, special quests that can be downloaded and played even offline. This time around they’ve dropped Monster Hunter World’s time-locked Event Quests, and have gone back to the old system where once you have them, they’re yours to keep. Players can use these to get more stickers, emotes as well as some unique gear.

Punishing Gray Raven Liv Figure available for pre-order

While she may not be able to heal your HP, she will heal your heart. Liv from Punishing Gray Raven has a new figure ready for pre-order. The figure features A-Rank Liv in her Lux frame, with the Generic – Final coating available for players once she reaches level 65 and has 4,000 BP.

Check out her design below:

Officially named “Punishing: Gray Raven Liv-Lux 1/7 Complete Figure“, the figure is from WINGS inc. The design of the figure is spot on, even having her signature 6-star weapon, Benediction, floating behind her.

The 1/7 scale figure of Liv: Lux stands at approximately 26.5 cm, or around 10.4 inches tall. It is made from PVC and ABS and is sculpted by Yellowish and painted by Aou.
The figure is priced at 16,500 yen. At the time of writing, it is currently enjoying a discounted price of 15,600 yen, or about 140.16 USD. To our Malaysian and Indonesian readers, that is about RM 584 or close to 2 million rupiah. You can pre-order the Liv figure on amiami, but note that it will only release in March 2022.
With Liv having a figure for her Lux frame, we hope that she will get more figures based on her different frames in Punishing Gray Raven. In the Chinese version of the game, a new frame for Liv, called Midnight Sun, was recently announced. However, she has a different voice actor, Miku Itō, largely due to the Ai Kayano controversy.

China’s smash hit MOBA – Honor of Kings coming to the US as Arena of Valor

Honor of Kings (王者荣耀) is growing rapidly since its release in 2015, making it to the world’s top-grossing mobile game in Q1 2017. Now its developer, Tencent is preparing to release the smash hit in the US and western Europe market with the title – Arena of Valor.

The global edition of Honor of Kings (HoK) is previously named as “Strike of Kings” and thus became “Realm of Valor” before it is renamed as Arena of Valor (AoV). Different from HoK that adapts most of the characters from Chinese history and myth, AoV reinvents them into a western background. But their core playing methods are still the same – characters will come with different names, appearances and skills but you will still get the same gaming experience.

Legends of Runeterra Open Beta Test (OBT) starts 24 Jan

Legends of Runeterra OBT Launches 24th January
The Legends of Runeterra Open Beta Test (OBT) will be launching on 24th of January. However, you can get in one day earlier (23rd of January) if you’re in the Closed Beta already. Anyone who pre-registers will also be able to get in a day earlier. The Open Beta will also have a bunch of features that will be added in.

Things You Need To Know For The Open Beta
Before delving into the details of the upcoming OBT, you might want to check out our review of the gameplay basics first. Here are some key details and a little elaboration on the upcoming features in the Legends of Runeterra Open Beta.

Related Posts

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

No More Resets
Once the Open Beta launches, everyone will be starting fresh. Unfortunately for Close Beta players, that means you won’t get to keep your cards. However, this is needed to keep the playing field even. On the plus side, there will be NO MORE resets from this point on. That means anything you earn or purchase during Open Beta is yours to keep during the final release.
Ranked Matchmaking and Friends List
On top of that, there will be Ranked Matchmaking once Open Beta releases. The rank system is similar to League of Legends, where you climb from Iron all the way to Masters. Notably, you will never drop from a rank that you’ve earned. For example, if you’ve hit Platinum during a season, you will never drop below it, even if you have a huge loss streak. This is because Riot wants to encourage players to experiment in higher ranks without worrying about dropping their rank. Secondly, a Friend List will be implemented that will automatically add your friends from League of Legends! You can chat with them in-game as well as challenge them directly with the click of a button.

New Cosmetics
And of course, Riot’s philosophy of not selling power/advantages shines through even in Legends of Runeterra. Instead of being able to buy packs, players will instead have the opportunity to buy cosmetics. These cosmetic products range from new game boards, new companions and new emotes. There will be a choice of 5 purchasable game boards that will change the playmat and even the background music to one of the 5 available Regions in the game. Meanwhile, companions are quite simply pets that sit on the game board to entertain you. There will be three new pets joining the default Poro: the Snapper, Gromp Jr, and a mini T-Hex. Oddly, I did not see any sleeves as a cosmetic product.

Future Releases
New Cards, New Regions
In the future, Riot Games will also be releasing new expansions that will introduce cards from new regions and new champions that will be able to shake up the meta and bring in new exciting mechanics and keywords.
Mobile Version
A mobile version is being planned and will launch later in the year. Once it is out, the mobile version will have full crossplay compatibility with the PC version. Meaning your account will share progress both platforms, allowing gameplay on the go.

The Ayaneo Air Is A Premium Way To Enjoy PC Gaming, And It Shows

We got hands on time with the Ayaneo Air– a new portable PC to let you play your favorite PC games as if they were handheld titles.

Admittedly, this niche is quite in-demand- the PC has a huge library of games, and some of them benefit from being playable on the go (especially if you’re in the line of work where you don’t have that much downtime in front of your PC). The Ayaneo Air definitely aims to target this use- providing a convenient handheld to play your favorite games with a pretty decent APU to make sure they run well.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Still, with an RM3999 asking price, it’s a piece of tech that needs a lot of scrutiny. How does the Ayaneo Air hold up against someone who’s grown up with handhelds? Read on and find out.
For Better Or Worse, A Handheld PC

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

I’m quite a fan of how the Ayaneo Air actually feels in your hands. Like most “Air”-type devices, ease of carrying is the name of the game- to which this one gets full marks. It feels nice enough in your hands that you can pick it up with ease- maybe to play a quick game while taking a break from work and the like. It’s hard to describe the exact cause, but as someone who owns a Nintendo Switch, the Ayaneo Air does feel a little better in my hands, though that’s on a minute scale.
A huge amount of my gripes with the Ayaneo Air, however, come from the fact that it’s quite literally a Windows PC crammed into a handheld- while it’s certainly convenient, a lot of apps aren’t very well optimized for the mobile format. Some windows just will not scale correctly, with chunks of it being off screen. Even Steam, which has a Big Picture mode optimized for controllers, won’t activate it by default. Instead you’re stuck just making extra steps to get Steam running before you can even play your games.

Worse still, the Ayaneo has a most bizarre quirk- a rotation sensor, with no easy means of turning it off. Rotating the console too much will change the orientation of the screen, possibly messing up any windows you currently have open. As a habitual bedtime gamer, I can assure you that this rotation sensor will trigger more than once per session, usually not long before you suddenly remember you need to go be a responsible adult and stop playing games in bed.
Still, the device’s two USB-C charging ports are nothing short of a godsend- using the upper port to charge the device while plugging in any external peripherals via the bottom one is an efficient use of space for the device, especially if you’re like me and the type to totally use your handhelds as portable fighting game setups. The device itself comes with USB-C converters, so you won’t have to worry about getting your fightstick running as you practice some ToDs.
A Fun Gaming Experience
Unsurprisingly, the Ayaneo Air is pretty solid if you’re just looking for a way to access your PC games without having to whip out your massive gaming laptop.
Thing is, don’t expect the Ayaneo Air to be doing max-resolution 60fps gameplay- you’re simply never going to get that kind of performance on a compact handheld, and to expect as much from the console would be borderline unfair. What you do get, however, is a neat compromise- big, triple-A titles like Destiny 2 actually run fairly well on the device, though don’t look too hard because you will notice the visual sacrifices made to get it running so well.
You’re mostly going to notice this in games that use “realistic” art styles. More stylized games get away with this way better- Skullgirls runs like a dream on the console, and the addition of the two USB-C ports and included converters means you can quite literally run your sets on this with no worries.

Similarly, indie games like Hyper Light Drifter or Beat Refle will have no problems on the Ayaneo Air. A lot of the compromises you’ll make running games on will largely come from the triple-A side, since those are games that will put more stake into how things look- and also require more elaborate hardware to get it looking that way.
That being said, once you get games running on it, they will look great- the 1080p OLED screen really makes bright colors pop- I had way more fun playing games with cartoony visuals since sprites like Big Band just look way more vibrant on the display. It’s not that more realistic artstyles don’t look good, it’s just that drab and grey worlds simply don’t take advantage of the popping color quite as much as a giant cartoon saxophone man or a bright fantasy vista.
It should be noted that while the Ayaneo Air could, theoretically, run any PC game, reality is not always so certain. Games that can’t be run on the Steam Deck are a pretty safe bet to not make the jump to the Ayaneo Air either- Guilty Gear Strive, for example, just will not work, with a dash of non-responsive menus as well as massive performance sinks.
Still, these games are more a fringe minority, and you’ll soon find that most games actually work pretty well, be you an FPS gamer, an indie darling or just an FGC Scrublord looking to run brackets at your local restaurant (or the parking lot outside).
Closing Thought

The Ayaneo Air is a huge question as to what kind of gamer you are. If you’re used to the PC ecosystem and just want a way to play PC games on the go, you might have no qualms about shelling out the RM3999 to access your library. After all, don’t they deserve as much?
If you’re starting from zero and want to get into the wonderful world of handheld gaming, you might be better off going for a dedicated handheld like the Nintendo Switch, since games are made bespoke for it and it costs a significant fraction of the price. Games are an expensive hobby, and the least you could do is save yourself the headache of wondering why some games might not work after dropping more than the price of a PS5 to run a game on medium settings.
Because at the end of the day that’s what the Ayaneo Air is- it’s a premium way to enjoy a premium aspect of gaming. While it certainly runs smaller games as well, the fact that it’s designed with a more PC-centric approach in mind means that at the end of the day, it should be viewed through a PC-centric lens.

Square Enix responds to Kingdom Hearts III leaks

Director Tetsuya Nomura has released a public message following the recent gameplay leaks of Kingdom Hearts III. In addition, Square Enix launched a new 30-second TV spot of the game as well.

According to Eurogamer, images and videos of Kingdom Hearts III including gameplay and title screen made their way to social media. Someone had allegedly sold copies of the game on Facebook via Facebook Marketplace. At the moment, the site has removed the listing.

In response, director Tetsuya Nomura addressed the recent gameplay leaks and asks for the public to not share any of the leaks. He also mentions the steps taken by Square Enix to ensure that the leaks will not affect the experience of playing the game.

— KINGDOM HEARTS (@KINGDOMHEARTS) December 16, 2018

The interesting aspect in the message is the statement saying that the epilogue and secret ending will be released at a later date. This means that both of these may be added at a later date through an update or patch. Furthermore, this statement points out that the game does not come with the ending by default. On one hand, we have to give credit to the development team in taking measurements to prevent spoilers from leaking. Yet, on the other hand, the decision of not including the full content into the game may not sit well with some fans.
Currently, some social media have taken the statement to heart and began taking action. Mods on r/KingdomHearts have issued warnings of bans if anyone posted Kingdom Hearts III leaks. We would also like to ask everyone not to share any leaks and enjoy the game as it should be.

As stated last month, Kingdom Hearts III will launch on 29 January 2019 in Malaysia. The game will come in three editions with the All-in-One Package including previous games.

[Guide] Cookie Run Kingdom – Should You Use Caramel Arrow Cookie

Jolting into Cookie Run Kingdom is Caramel Arrow Cookie, the boba tea-drinking archer of the Dark Cacao Kingdom and nemesis to the conniving Affogato Cookie.

But how sharp are this archer’s arrows? Could she be the one who pierces through Cookie Run tier lists? In this article, we’ll look over how she works as a unit and the best toppings for her.

The Skills of Caramel Arrow Cookie

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

Caramel Arrow Cookie is a ranged cookie however unlike other ranged cookies, she primarily stands in the front row. She thankfully has greater defense than most ranged cookies in order to compensate for this.
Her attack is called ‘Arrow of Resolution’ and it’s very unique. Despite being a first-row cookie, Caramel Arrow’s skill has her leap back behind the party and shoot multiple arrows are enemies. The arrows will do damage proportional to the enemy’s max HP. Caramel will also be immune to debuffs or interruption effects when firing arrows.
In addition, the enemies that are hit with the arrows will explode if Caramel Arrow touches them when rushing back to the front row after firing.
Here are the stats of her skill:

10-second base Cooldown
Ranged attack: 8.0 sec
Single hit DMG: 88.3%
Arrow Mark: 12-second duration, stacks up to max 12 times
DMG relative to Max HP (Cookies): 22.1%
DMG relative to Max HP (Others): 2.2%
 Immunity for 8.0 sec

The Best Use of Caramel Arrow Cookie?

Caramel Arrow is an interesting Cookie in that despite being in the front row, she’ll be attacking from the back. This is advantageous as it’s harder for attacks to get to her especially considering she can’t be interrupted from shooting. This is especially helpful during PvE since enemies can’t cancel out her attacks (like those annoying waffle bots that knock you to the back of the screen).
Her attacks are hard-hitting and she has good range, not to mention her 10-second cooldown, meaning she’ll be attacking more often than most cookies. This combines to make Caramel Arrow a very solid offensive sniper.
This main weakness of Caramel Arrow is that when she moves behind the party, she leaves the front defenseless so you’ll want a defensive cookie in the front row with her to shield the mid and back tiers.
There’s not a lot to say otherwise, she’s a fast heavy hitting DPS whose unique positioning means that she can safely attack from the far back without worrying about damage at the front.
Best Toppings

As with almost all offensive cookies, Raspberries are your friend as they make her arrows all the more deadly.
Otherwise, another good choice is (fittingly) bouncy caramel which boosts attack speed, making her quick draw even quicker. Solid Almonds are also a good choice seeing as she is still a front-row cookie who will be taking the brunt of enemy damage.
Who is Caramel Arrow Cookie?

Caramel Arrow Cookie was the First Watcher of the Dark Cacao Kingdom before she was eventually framed by Affogato Cookie who claimed she was being negligent at her job. In reality, she was spending extra time helping the people of the citadel acquire food and rations. Despite being exiled, she continues to protect the kingdom from the shadows.
Here is her bio presented in the game:
“At the very edge of the continent, atop the tall wall of the Black Citadel, stands a figure frowning into the dark. Night and day, all year round, Caramel Arrow Cookie, the First Watcher of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, will always protect the Cookies from the horrors of the Licorice Sea. A master of the Dark Cacao martial art tradition of the perfect balance and a wielder of the black and white twin blades, Caramel Arrow Cookie’s loyalty to her king and subordinates remains unwavering even in exile. Some say the kingdom is but a shadow of its former glory, with values like trust becoming a commodity. But a vow is a vow. Standing there atop the tall wall, Caramel Arrow Cookie is staring sharply at the churning dark waters below. The First Watcher will protect the Dark Cacao Kingdom until the very last crumb..”
Do you plan to use Caramel Arrow Cookie?

Rushia Was Terminated For Leaking Information To Korekore

Former Hololive Vtuber Uruha Rushia was terminated was because of information leaked to streamer Korekore, new information shows.

During her hiatus following the row, The performer behind Rushia reportedly tried to reach out to Korekore to clear her name.

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

Due to the pseudonymous nature of being a Vtuber, however, she provided sensitive information to verify her identity so Korekore would take her seriously.
The contents of these verifications are largely speculation, but it seems to be widely agreed upon that at the very least, it included conversations with Rushia’s manager.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

For anyone else unfamiliar with Korekore, the term “Japanese Keemstar” gets thrown around, marking him as less of a news source and more of a gossip monger.

Rather than have any shred of integrity in protecting your sources, Korekore immediately told his audience that he’d been talking with Rushia, explaining all the information which she sent to him.
This apparently included photos of her room, as well as a more in-depth explanation that she really wasn’t dating fellow livestreamer Mafumafu.
As fans have pointed out, COVER Corporation had known about this for a while- their first statement following the Rushia debacle mentions they were investigating a “leakage of information including those of fellow business correspondents”.
Considering the open nature secret of many Vtuber’s real identities, it seems no one picked up that Rushia was the one being investigated, rather than a case of fans threatening to dox her in the middle of the uproar.
As we now know, this was a major violation of Cover Corp’s contract, and Rushia was thusly terminated. Her fellow 3rd gen members issued a statement together last night on the matter, which you can see here:

Knowing this information, COVER’s termination notice for Rushia seems significantly less PR-speak and more an actually clear description of what went down. From a purely objective sense, it’s understandable- their talent broke her contract, which the company, while still investigating this, still threw themselves behind her to show support until their investigation was done.

Breath Of The Wild 2 Shows Off New Features At E3

Nintendo has shown off more gameplay for Breath of The WIld 2, the unofficial title of the sequel to the Nintendo Switch’s popular launch title, at E3.

A lot of the core design principles of Breath of the Wild look to be in place, with Link being able to interact with the world in a variety of ways. Features like the timestop and hang glider seem to have returned, along with new features like turning into a water droplet to phase through certain structures.

Structurally, the game looks very similar to Breath of the Wild, although that seems by design. It looks to share most of the same assets, similar to how Majora’s Mask did back when it first launched.
Sadly, Breath of the Wild 2 doesn’t have a release date yet, though Nintendo did confirm they’ll get the game out some time in 2022.

The game’s trailer reveal was a really well telegraphed sequence, going from the Kazuya reveal in Smash referencing the first teaser for the game with a dilapidated Ganondorf before revealing the new Smash character. Similarly, the hosts made multiple mentions of Nintendo Switch titles fans were really looking forward to, such as with the Metroid Dread reveal in lieu of Metroid Prime news, before a fake out with the Hyrule Warriors expansion before this trailer.
