That isn’t to say the vivo X70 series is slacking in other aspects. “Flagship” means you once again have a SGS Eye Care display with 120Hz refresh rate with HDR10+ technology for smooth and stunning visuals. UFS3.1 means ultra-fast reading and writing speed, further aided with Extended RAM 2.0 capable of increasing the 12GB RAM by up to 4GB, offering up to 50% increased operating efficiency. Additional features include a built-in linear motor for gaming, or an infrared remote control feature for convenience with household appliances.
All this power is found in a metal and glass device not marred by fingerprints thanks to Fluorite AG coating. Available in Aurora Dawn or Cosmic Black, the simple yet professional design will surely help you stand out. You can get your own vivo X70 Pro at RM3299, or the vivo X70 at RM2499.

HONOR Magicbook 15 Review – A work laptop with a few tricks up its sleeve

Leaving the mould of a typical gaming laptop review, the Magicbook 15 that we got from HONOR is a bona fide work laptop that does its job. Sure, it packs an Intel i5-1135G7 processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics card into a compact build, but does it offer anything more magical beyond just the standard work laptop performance?

Before I can answer that in this review, a huge thank you to HONOR for sending us this MagicBook 15. Now, let’s dive into this review!

Simple yet classy design
For a work laptop, I like how simple its design is. I can already imagine how eye-catching it would be if your laptop pulsated RGB lights while at work, so having a rather discrete look is great. This is the appearance of gadget that a professional carries around. The HONOR MagicBook 15 that I used for this review is in Space Gray, but there is also the option of Mystic Silver.

The lid of the laptop is really minimalistic with just the HONOR logo standing out. The logo has an azure blue finish and really pops out visually under dim lighting.

As a laptop with a 15.6-inch screen, it is 357.8 mm wide from side to side, 229.9 mm deep from front to back and has a thickness of 16.9 mm. Not only is it compact, but it is also pretty thin. Coupled with the fact that it weighs 1.56 kg, it is very easy to transport and carry around, even when holding with just one hand.
As for the keyboard, the MagicBook 15 unfortunately lacks any backlight functionality. However, the biggest offender to me was how rough the keys felt. They feel rather uncomfortable to the touch. As a silver lining, the keyboard does have a neat feature in store. The function (Fn) key works by toggling instead of being held down, meaning that it behaves more like the caps lock key instead of the shift key when used in tandem with F1 to F12 keys. Simply press it once and you can use the F1 – F12 shortcuts.

The keyboard also has another trick up its sleeve. In between the F6 and the F7 keys, there is a button. Pressing this button causes the built-in webcam to pop up. While it is a cool feature, I do find the position of the webcam to be less than desirable. There is a reason why most laptops with built-in webcams have them at the top of the display. This is to have the camera at eye level. With the MagicBook 15’s webcam, whoever is video calling you will get a good look at your chin. Then again, it is still better than no webcam at all.
The speakers are situated at the bottom of the laptop. Thankfully, the audio quality is still loud and clear. This is assuming that you are using the laptop on a flat surface like a desk. If you were to use it on a mattress or any surface that absorbs sound well, you would not be able to hear the audio as clearly.

Display
As mentioned earlier, the HONOR MagicBook 15 sports a 15.6-inch screen. It uses an IPS panel that supports 1920 x 1080 resolution and a colour gamut of 100% sRGB. Needless to say, colours are vivid and vibrant on the screen. The bezels are also really thin with an 87% screen-to-body ratio.
Furthermore, HONOR went the extra mile into making sure that the display is easy on the eyes. Not only does the screen have low blue light and flicker-free certifications from TÜV Rheinland, but there are also multiple colour tone options to choose from for a comfortable viewing experience.

Battery and charging
The HONOR MagicBook 15 comes with a 42Wh battery. After an hour of general usage, the power dropped from 30% to 10%. Later, I watched anime for about two hours and the battery level dropped from 94% to 68%.

While the battery’s performance itself is decent, charging it is even better. The MagicBook 15’s 65W Type-C fast charger fills the battery up really fast. In one hour, I charged the battery from 12% to full.
The laptop also gives users greater control over how they want to manage the battery life. In the PC Manager software that comes pre-installed, there are options to change the battery charging settings. You can choose to charge the laptop to 70%, 90% or 100%, depending on how you want to preserve the battery life.

PC Manager
While MSI and ROG gaming laptops have software like Dragon Centre and Armoury Crate to manage their laptop’s performance, the MagicBook 15 has the PC Manager. While it may not let you tweak the laptop’s systems and performance as in-depth as the gaming laptop’s pre-installed software, PC Manager still lets you take control of a lot of aspects of the laptop.
The PC Manager has 2 modes. Sidebar mode gives quick access for users to record videos, take screenshots and also monitor CPU usage and several other details. There is also the window mode, which lets you manage battery settings and also update the driver. If you also use an HONOR smartphone, you are in luck because PC Manager can easily sync and connect with your device.

Thermals
The MagicBook 15 does a pretty good job at staying cool. The only time it ever heat up for me was when I benchmarked the laptop. Thanks to its supersized cooling fan and dual heatpipes, it will stay at comfortable temperatures even when it heats up. As a work laptop, this is pretty much a no-brainer, since I can imagine a lot of people will be using it on their laps.
In a similar vein, the laptop’s fan also remains quiet. It feels quiet enough that I feel comfortable using it at night without disturbing anyone.
Benchmarking
The MagicBook 15 boasts an Intel 11th Gen i5-1135G7 CPU and an Intel Iris Xe GPU. Obviously, they are not the most powerful or advanced hardware in the market. Regardless, here are the results of the laptop after benchmarking it on 3DMark:

A score like that is somewhat to be expected, considering that 3DMark focuses more on graphics and gaming pretty heavily. Surprisingly, even though the laptop heated up during this test, it still managed to remain between 60°C – 70°C. Not bad for a work laptop.

On PCMark 10 test, the laptop performed a lot better, securing a score of 4,379. Since this benchmark is a lot more general compared to 3DMark’s gaming-centric tests, I feel that it represents the MagicBook 15 a lot better.
Gaming Performance
Time and time again, I mentioned that this is a work laptop and not a gaming laptop. However, I still had to review the gaming capability of the HONOR MagicBook 15. Undoubtedly, someone out there will still use the laptop to run some games.
It goes without saying that the laptop would not survive the latest games with Ray Tracing and incredible graphics. To avoid crashing the laptop, I played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA 2 and Payday 2. Note that for all three games, the laptop stayed cool.

Unfortunately for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the laptop has severe trouble running it properly. The game constantly lagged and FPS averaged between 20 to 30. You will not have a good time playing this game on the MagicBook 15. Also, note that I played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive against bots, which has been proven to increase the laptop’s workload. Regardless, it is still recommended not to play this game online.

As for DOTA 2, the laptop can run 100 FPS consistently, even in fights and hectic sequences. There is no input lag and no sudden frame drops whatsoever.

For Payday 2, the MagicBook 15 also performed well. Even on Holdout mode with a lot of enemies, the game maintained a playable 35 – 45 FPS. Even with smoke particles filling the screen, the frame rate did not drop much.

Closing Thoughts
The MagicBook 15 may just seem like any other work laptop at first glance, but it has a couple of tricks up its sleeve. While it is lightweight and easy to carry around, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it regulated its temperature and its silent fan. It has a great display that prioritizes eye comfort and while it may not be able to run the latest and most intensive games, it will be able to fulfill pretty much all the essential tasks that you do on a laptop.
Thus, for a price of RM 3,699, I recommend this laptop for people looking for a light and compact laptop for work purposes and occasionally a bit of light gaming.
To purchase the MagicBook 15, you can head to HONOR’s Lazada and Shopee storefronts. To learn more about the laptop, you can also visit HONOR’s website.

Warner Bros Multiversus Announced, Pits Ultra Instinct Shaggy Against Arya Stark

Warner Bros has officially announced their new cross-IP platform fighter titled Multiversus, which is a free to play platform fighter with an emphasis on 2v2 gameplay.

In the reveal trailer they broke down some key features of the game- as well as showing off characters who weren’t in the previously reported leak for the game.
It looks like the main game mode in Multiversus will be a 2v2 brawl, where you and your friend will team up against an enemy pair as well.

To this end, moves are described as being teamwork-centric- buffs from special moves can affect your teammate as well, as shown with Batman’s smoke bombs as well as Steven Universe being able to give shields to his teammates.

Multiversus Characters

Finn (Adventure Time)
Jake (Adventure Time)
Batman
Wonder Woman
Superman
Harley Quinn
Shaggy (Scooby Doo)
Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes)
Steven Universe (Steven Universe)
Garnet (Steven Universe)
Arya Stark (Game of Thrones)
Tom & Jerry (Tom & Jerry)
Reindog (Original)

The biggest shocker is that the game would be free-to-play, though they didn’t explain how they planned to monetize it. That being said, skins are still a part of the game.
It looks like it’ll be using an XP progression system, whereby winning matches and completing challenges will give you character XP, unlocking more things for each character.
They’ve also been announced that the game would be using rollback netcode, putting it in a similar category as Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, though Multiversus will be using theirs server-side.

No offline tickets
Unfortunately, we have to start with the bad news about the convention, which is that tickets for it are officially sold out and the convention will not be selling on-site tickets. This is because the pre-purchase tickets have already reached maximum capacity.
If you’d still like to attend, there are many people selling second-hand tickets online but be careful. Many people are selling tickets for scalped prices and several people have reportedly been scammed.

No Replica Weapons
There are also a number of rules that con-goers must abide by during the convention to ensure a safe and fun experience for all attendees. These include not bringing any realistic prop weapons including guns, knives, and swords. If you do bring a prop to the convention, you’ll need to have it checked at the Prop Check Counter. For more on this process check out the Comic Fiesta 2022 Official Website.

The organizers have also announced that in order to ensure safety, random bag checks will be conducted throughout the con. If this happens to you, simply cooperate with the staff and everything should be fine.

The Events and Guests
Comic Fiesta has now announced the official schedule for both days of the convention. There is a limit on the number of people who can enter each event after which it will be closed to the public.

Suzuki Konomi
The first-star guest is the Japanese singer Suzuki Konomi. Debuting in 2012, she has contributed to anime productions like “No game No Life”, “Re: Zero”, and “So I’m a Spider, So What?”. She’ll be performing live on the first day (December 17th) at 19:00 and will be doing Meet and Greet sessions on the second day (December 18th) at 14:00.

Attendees who have purchased tickets for her concert can simply enter and enjoy. If you haven’t bought a ticket, you’ll have to purchase one at the Coffytiam booth on the G floor, exhibition hall 5 at 9:30 am on December 17th. You can only get one ticket per person and they’re first come, first serve until sold out. For more details, click this link.
Vtubers – MyHoloTV

A number of popular Vtubers have also been invited to Comic Fiesta 2022. These include two of Malaysia’s biggest streamers Virion Kisei and Liliana Vampaia from MyHoloTV.
Vtubers – Hololive

There will also be four Hololive vtubers attending the convention. These include Iofifteen Airani and Kanaeru Kobo from Hololive Indonesia, as well as Kiara Takanashi and Amelia Watson from Hololive English. Kiara and Amelia will be attending a Meet and Greet a 15:00 on the first day, while Iofifteen and Kanaeru will be part of a Meet and Greet at 14:00 on the second day.
Hikarin

What would an anime convention be without famous cosplayers? Hikarin will be attending Comic Fiesta as a special guest.
Anime/Manga Industry Panels

If you want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes in the manga or anime industry, you can also attend talks by Akihito Tsukushi, the original author of From the Abyss, or by Malaysian manga artist Senpai Boey, and Malaysian voice actors Azman Zulkiply, Su Ling Chan and “Uncle” Ali Imran, respectively.
Various booths
Officials have revealed that there will be more than 500 booths present at the event. Here is the full floor plan on their Facebook page.

Other things to keep in mind

Apart from your belongings, what should I bring to the event? If you’re looking to buy anything, remember to bring some cash. Some stalls may not have e-wallets or card readers, so it’s a good idea to bring cash in case you need it. There have been frequent rain showers in KL over the past few weeks, so it is advisable to take an umbrella with you. The venue is also bound to be crowded, so remember to protect your belongings.
The event will be held at KL Convention Centre, so if you want to take public transport, you can take the LRT to KLCC station, which is about a 15-minute walk away. If you have more of a budget, you can take a Grab or drive there yourself, or even find a nearby hotel for two nights. If you don’t have a ticket, you can still join the event outside the venue. There will be a number of cosplayers waiting for you to take photos with them, just remember to keep your hands to yourself.
Comic Fiesta 2022 will be held at KLCC from the 17th to the 18th of December. For everyone who’s attending, we hope you have a good time!

In other related news, recently released Square Enix mobile game NieR Reincarnation will be getting a collaboration with NieR Replicant end of this month. Considering that both SINoALICE and NieR Reincarnation both had Automata and Replicant as their first two collab partners, and that SINoALICE will likely be getting a collab of its own in April, it is possible that NieR Reincarnation will be the collab partner. Note that this is just speculation.

A premium keyboard at a more modest price: Razer Ornata V2 review

The Razer Ornata Chroma gets an awaited update in the Razer Ornata V2, seemingly replacing the BlackWidow Chroma, which itself had a V2 model back in 2017. The Ornata V2 comes equipped with Chroma RGB as with many other Razer keyboards so how does it stand out among its competition?

Main features

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

This keyboard uses a hybrid mecha-membrane switch like its Ornata predecessors, combining a softer type with the membrane and the satisfying mechanical click. It’s a quieter keyboard as a result, while still giving that nice typing feeling. The general aesthetic of the Ornata V2 has been improved from the original, the C, 1, S, M and G keys above the numberpad have been moved to above the arrow keys for easier viewing of toggled NumLock/Capslock while giving space to more keys.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Namely, the Media array of buttons above the number pad: Skip Back, Play/Pause, Skip Forward and scroll wheel are now occupying the space above the numpad. The scroll wheel can be used to change volume and can be customized through Razer Synapse 3.
Quality and appearance
The black plastic build is pretty professional looking without overly standing out in non-gaming settings. The rest cushion has a nice finish while keeping the wrists supported even during long sessions. There’s rubber on the four corners and two flip-up stands, as well as a channel to store the USB cable on the back or side of the keyboard. The USB cable itself is 80-inches.

The mid-height keys on the Ornata V2 is meant to give it a faster response time. The keys are made of ABS plastic as with the Ornata Chroma and a majority of more budget gaming keyboards. It’s not the most long lasting material but the matte finish does give it the impression of being “premium”.
User experience
The Ornata V2 was put through a few games to test several aspects of its features:

Valorant for key response
Civilization VI for shortcuts
Grand Theft Auto V for freedom of movement between keys

The Ornata V2 is designed as a gaming keyboard and functions as you would expect. There were no issues when testing it out on Valorant as and when fast inputs were needed, but maybe a pro gamer would be able to discern the minute differences should there be any kind of delay.
Left: average WPM / Right: fastest average WPM
In regards to typing speed, the average is 63WPM with the V2, and able to vary anywhere between 40 to 100 WPM. Depending on how used you are to your current keyboard or other mechanical keyboards, ours kept to a more consistent 65 to 70 WPM, but the Ornata V2 does offer more accuracy over speed.
Razer Synapse
With Razer Synapse 3, the RGB Chroma settings can be fiddled around with to save to your custom profile, for the personalization-heavy user. There are 11 Quick Effects for lighting, including Spectrum Cycling, Ripples, Audio Meter and Ambient Awareness, the latter of which changes colours according to what’s on screen.

You can also fully customize individual keys. If you don’t often listen to music, then the media keys can be changed to something more practical for yourself. Unique profiles can likewise be set up to activate automatically from a game by game basis.
Verdict
As a whole, the Ornata V2 provides a really good user experience, with the Media keys being a very appreciated addition, besides helping it stand out among other premium keyboards. The scroll wheel is handy if you need to adjusts volume on the fly which every keyboard should have, really. The mecha-membrane can’t live up to the “true” mechanical clicking sounds, but if you want something quieter, then it won’t be an issue.
As a Razer product, its compatibility with the Razer Synapse 3 lets the Ornata V2 be a great gaming keyboard that you can tweak accordingly to your needs. There could be, of course, something better for you out there at the same price point, so it depends on what you’re really looking for.

In the interests of PC master race and one-upping the next-gen home consoles, what better way keep the trend with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series? Powered by Ampere, NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture, this gives the GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards faster 2nd gen Ray Tracing Cores, faster 3rd gen Tensor Cores and new streaming multiprocessors that together bring stunning visuals, faster frame rates, and AI acceleration for gamers and creators.

Besides all that heat it’s packing, the GPUs also have several world firsts:

up to 24GB of new, blazing-fast GDDR6X VRAM
HDMI 2.1 for 4K high refresh rate and 8K gaming
support for AV1 codec
Founders Edition: innovative dual axial flow through cooling solutions

The GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs are also suited for esports, livestreamers, creators and gamers with:

NVIDIA Reflex for reducing system latency

FOUNDERS EDITION
As if that’s not enough, you can also get the Founders Edition GeForce graphic cards, featuring excellent cooling and stunning designs for a stunning PC showcase. The new GeForce RTX 30 series has an innovative dual axial flow through cooling solution, featuring two fans – one at the left front, and another on the right rear that draws air through the card. The GeForce RTX 3070’s design differs slightly, with the fans mounted on the top instead. Regardless of the design, heat is drawn away from the components into the hybrid vapor chamber, which is then efficiently distributed across the length of the card and throughout the massive aluminum fin stack. The left fan pushes air heated by the fin stack out through extra-large GPU bracket vents, while the right fan draws the air towards the top chassis exhaust.

GPU circuit boards are often the length of the graphics card, but NVIDIA’s engineers have managed to shrink the PCB, NVLink and power connectors to insert a full-sized fan in the rear of the card, plus still have 18-phases for improved power delivery. An adapter is included to ensure Founders Edition cards will work with existing power supplies.

With all that stuffed in, the Founders Edition design is still quieter than traditional dual axial coolers while still delivering nearly 2x the cooling performance of previous generation solutions. The mentioned NVLink and power design changes have created more space for airflow through the largest fin stack to date, with larger bracket vents improving airflow in concert with individually shaped shroud fins. Enjoy maximum airflow, minimal temperatures, and highest performance possible with least amount of noise.

NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors

As we dive further into what makes these cards work, the Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) are at the heart of NVIDIA GPUs,, with the newest NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors being the best yet, offering 2x FP32 throughput for superior performance. Performance per watt has been increased to ensure higher frame yet, and with PCIE 4.0 support, a 18-phase power supply, and new innovative cooling solutions, GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs will already provide new performance records even before overclocking.

2nd Generation Ray Tracing Cores & 3rd Generation Tensor Cores

With the invention of Ray Tracing Cores, NVIDIA made real-time videogame ray tracing a reality, as dedicated cores on the GPU designed specifically to tackle performance-intensive ray tracing workloads. The GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs have 2nd Generation RT Cores, packing up to 2x the throughput. Performance is then further accelerated with NVIDIA DLSS, a deep learning neural network, powered by dedicated AI processors called Tensor Cores, boosts frame rates while maintaining crisp, clear image quality, now in its 3rd generation. With the new Ultra Performance mode, DLSS can run up to 8K on the GeForce RTX 3090.

GDDR6X – World’s Fastest Graphics Memory

The hits don’t stop coming with Micron debuting its new GDDR6X memory on the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080. Using innovative PAM4 signal transmission technology to once again double the data rate per clock, it can deliver unprecedented graphics memory performance to feed the most data-hungry workloads, such as gaming, professional visualization, and AI inference. These enhancements ensure the GPU’s compute cores and other components receive a constant stream of data, rather than stalling while they wait, maximizing efficiency and performance.

HDMI 2.1 Support
To keep up with new monitor and TV technology, the GeForce RTX 30 Series has got you covered in supporting HDMI 2.1 running 4K at high refresh rates, instead of having connections and output limited to 4K HDR at 98Hz.

AV1 Decode Support
The planet’s biggest Internet companies have banded together to create AV1, a royalty-free, highly efficient video codec. This reduces the bandwidth required to stream high resolution video by up to 50% compared to H.264, and makes 4K and 8K high resolution streams feasible for consumers lacking the fastest Internet connections and unmetered contracts. GeForce RTX 30 Series are the first discrete GPUs with AV1 decoders to enable users to take advantage of AV1 on desktops and in media centers.

NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency Technologies

Input lag, or system latency, makes games less responsive and increases the time it takes for your actions to be reflected in game. With NVIDIA Reflex in the GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, gamers can measure and optimize system latency to make your PC more responsive to mouse input. NVIDIA Reflex is a revolutionary suite of GPU, G-SYNC display, and software technologies to aid gamers to make every millisecond count, and will soon be supported in top competitive titles including Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Warzone, Destiny 2, Fortnite, and Valorant.

GeForce RTX 30 Series Performance

All this tech, along with driver optimizations, memory compression techniques, and other NVIDIA Ampere architecture enhancements, makes GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards the absolute fastest available. Get up to 2X faster performance in ray-traced games compared to the previous generation. For razterized games without ray tracing and DLSS, expect the GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs to deliver the performance necessary for max setting, high resolution, high framerate gameplay for the definitive experience. Whether or not you’re a competitive esports player or a more ‘regular’ one wanting the absolute highest levels of fidelity, rest assured your expectations will be exceeded.

You can be assured NVIDIA constantly works with developers for optimization and Game Ready Drivers to incorporate all these technologies. From Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Watch Dogs: Legion, get it all here.

RTX IO: GPU Accelerated Storage Technology

With the launch of blazing-fast Gen4 PCIE NVMe SSDs for up to 20x faster read speeds of drives from a few years ago, PC storage solutions are yet another aspect entering a new era. Developers and game engines are working on advanced streaming and loading solutions to create larger worlds with less loading, less pop-in, and more detail, and all this is supported with NVIDIA’s RTX IO technology to deliver GPU-based lossless decompression, and low-level, super-efficient APIs architected specifically for game workloads. Working with Microsoft to have the technology be fully compatible with Windows API DirectStorage, next gen games will be able to take full advantage of RTX IO-enabled hardware to accelerate load times and deliver larger open worlds, all while reducing CPU load.

AI-Powered Voice and Video With the NVIDIA Broadcast App
Need more? Then use the new NVIDIA Broadcast app to turn your room into a home broadcast studio. It uses the power of AI and Tensor Cores on NVIDIA RTX GPUs to enhance voice and video communication with features like noise removal, virtual background and auto frame.

The universal plugin will work with most popular live streaming, voice chat and video conferencing apps. It’s supported on any NVIDIA GeForce, TITAN or Quadro RTX GPU, and uses dedicated AI processors on RTX GPUs called Tensor Cores to help the app’s AI networks run in real-time, right alongside your games.

New GeForce Experience Features
Further tweak your gaming experience with GeForce Experience to optimize game settings, record and upload gameplay, stream gameplay, take screenshots, and download and install Game Ready Drivers. With the release of the GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, new features and enhancements have been brought to the app:

Warframe Is Coming To Switch And There Might Be Cross Play In The Future

Warframe, is a game where space ninjas roam free and heed the call of the Tenno way or Space Mom’s instructions. Of course, for those who have been keeping up with Warframe will know the story about Space Mom, but I shall not spoil it for those who might be keen on coming back or planning to pick the game up in the future.

There is one thing you should know, that is, for a game like Warframe that was released by developer Digital Extremes, who has kept their promises all these years since it was released back in March 2013 for the PC, the developers still never cease to surprise us with their massive updates.

Warframe – The New War trailer:

With the new announcement of the Switch port coming soon thanks to Panic Button, there might be a possibility that the game will have cross play in the future. In an interview by massivelypop, Creative Director Steve Sinclair said, “…it won’t be possible for the PlayStation 4, but it could possibly be worked out for the XBox, and it would be a breeze for the PC.”
Warframe – Fortuna Update reveal trailer:

I have been playing Warframe for more than 4 years now (slightly after the initial release), and I do occasionally drop in to check out what’s new during my free time. The graphics has been upgraded and there’s a new kind-of open-world called Plains of Eidolon which is neat in a space-ninja MMORPG. More new Warframes (Umbra their latest) are still coming out along with new skins and new quests. And yet Digital Extremes is not done with rolling out updates; they have never failed to deliver their promises.

Excalibur Umbra. Isn’t he sexy?
Digital Extremes is a one-of-a-kind developer that had quite the backstory if you did not know. When no publisher wanted to publish Warframe, Digital Extremes had to make cuts to publish the game on their own and now it has become a huge success.
I know I will continue to play Warframe, so why don’t you give it a try and see if you liked it as I did. It is free anyway and it is going to be free on the Switch too!

Impulse Gaming Warns of Fake PS5 Scam

Despite the PS5 having been out in Malaysia for several weeks now, Impulse Gaming says the ongoing saga of people acting predatory towards those who desperately want the new console is still going on.

In a Facebook post, the retailer has warned that someone was going around pretending to sell a pre-order for the next batch of PS5s to arrive in Malaysia.
The scammer appears to have created their own counterfeit receipt for the PS5, complete with Impulse Gaming letterhead. The victim contacted Impulse Gaming about the receipt, which the retailer denies having put out.

“It has come to our attention that a scammer has been going around offering his PlayStation 5 for sale that he claims is ready stocks (sic)  at our Sunway branch”, representatives from Impulse Gaming say.
“PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS INVOICE IS NOT FROM OUR COMPANY, we do not have any PS5 for sale right now AND WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY PRE-ORDERS until we receive further notice on allocation from Sony Malaysia”, the post adds.
As Impulse Gaming has been in contact with the would-be victims, they haven’t revealed how much of the scammer’s information they own, only that the scammers were the ones behind the redacting of information in the photos.
They have also not responded to request for comment by GamerBraves.
It’s clear that after a hectic few months of uncertainty regarding the PS5’s launch in Malaysia, many are still upset that they didn’t manage to get one at launch. This isn’t to say the existence of scammers is their fault, though, and the onus fully falls on predatory netizens out to make a quick buck.

Clash Royale gets a new game mode – 2v2 Touchdown

Clash Royale players are in for a treat, as the popular game will be getting a brand new mode, which seems to play in a different way compared to what has been put out so far. Known simply as Touchdown, the mode is played in 2v2 fashion. The video below has the developer showing off what the mode entails.

This draft-only mode is played on a field with no towers, rivers, or bridges and is instead played on a field with two end zones, one on each side. If you are thinking American Football, this is essentially what the mode entails. For every time a troop walks into the end zone, you gain a crown. You win the game upon getting three crowns. Majority of your minions can only be played within a specific area of the field, although spells can be played anywhere.

In addition, the trailer also showed new mobile suits joining the fray- the trailer shows off the Gundam Exia from Gundam 00, looking like the second melee-dedicated mobile suit coming to the game alongside the Gundam Barbatos from Iron Blooded Orphans.

They also showed the three gametypes for the game- all built around the capture point system.
Point Capture seems like the default mode, where teams fight to control different territories on the map. Domination seems more like a king of the hill situation, with a single point for players to fight over. Finally, Destruction seems more like the typical deathmatch, though they haven’t fully explained them mechanics of the types.
The game’s expected to release some time in 2022, though no concrete release date has been given yet.

Chainsaw Man Collab Nets NIKKE 24 Million USD In Earnings

NIKKE : Goddess of Victory’s first collab event has proven quite fruitful- the Chainsaw Man crossover has reportedly pulled in over 24 million USD in earnings.

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

According to AppMagic, NIKKE is estimated to have earned 24,763,2000 during the course of the event, which ran from 22nd February to March 15th.
This dwarfs out the previous event, Maid In Valentine, by a whole 10 million USD- with the Valentine’s day event only at 14 million in revenue.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Since the app doesn’t track specifically how much of that money was meant to pull in the event banners, you can’t credit it entirely to Fujimoto’s popular manga- some of that could have also gone to the paid shop, or season passes.
However, considering the spike of activity was the start of the banner- with 2.1 million USD on the 22nd of February, it’s safe to assume that most of the game’s earnings come from people topping up gems to pull on banners.
As far as driving more regional purchases, the Chainsaw Man collab didn’t do much to change spending patterns- Japan still dominates the NIKKE earnings chart, with 16.4 of the 24.7 million- 66.3% of the overall earnings or just under two-thirds of spending on the game.

Interestingly enough the peak daily spending during event wasn’t particularly high compared to the rest of NIKKE’s history- the game’s launch saw much higher earnings, reaching its all time peak revenue of 4.7 million in one day, which can be attributed to early launch hype.
A Challenging Event

Aside from the obvious popularity of characters like Makima and Power, there’s other mechanical reasons at play for the success of the NIKKE Chainsaw Man event- unlike other events which saw featured characters added to standard pool, this one was a limited banner meaning with no plans for a rerun.
Since getting the lobby screens for characters requires a full limit break, completionist fanboys had plenty of reasons to spend on the collab characters.
Combine that with the longer-than-usual event length, and you get a lot of driving forces to get players to spend on the characters.
That being said, it’s not like the event didn’t have its hurdles, too: many fans had reported wanting to skip the event, due to waiting for an eventual featured banner for the Pilgrim Nihilister.
There’s also the fact that on a meta level, the Chainsaw Man collab characters weren’t considered particularly good- Power was only good for boss missions while Makima was only considered okay for PvP at best.
Mix that with fan backlash over Makima having to wear a coat and there was a sizeable amount of pushback against the event, despite its overall success.

The Division 2 In The Making And Updates For The First Division!

Ubisoft has made an official announcement that The Division 2 is in the making! Following their success in the first Division, they are making a sequel of the game. Following their weekly State of the Game live-stream, they have also revealed two new patches for the first Division.

“It wasn’t an easy decision. There are so may stories and so many experiences we want to explore within the Division that we really thought a sequel was the best way to investigate these things,” said the game’s creative director, Julian Gerighty, on a live stream.

The team at Ubisoft had already started working on the main concepts for the new game within a month after the first Division launch. There are a couple of development studios that are working together on the game with a development team lead by Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft Annecy, Redstorm, Reflections, Ubisoft Bucharest and Ubisoft Shanghai. Fans would also be glad that Ubisoft Sofia, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Assassin’s Creed Origins, will be part of the development team.

But that’s not all the news they were giving out. The original Division will also be getting two new patches, 1.8.1 and 1.8.2, which Gerighty joked to call them Strawberry and Parsnip. In the “Strawberry” update, they will be reworking the Legendary difficulty for Missions Amherst and Grand Central. The update will be launched for the PC and Xbox One X patch in April. While the “Parsnip” update will add a feature called shields which will be challenges that will unlock content in The Division 2.
It is unclear when The Division 2 will be launched but based on their live-stream, they will be showcasing the game at this year’s E3 this June.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Demo Announced, Alongside Palamute DLC

Monster Hunter Stories 2 : Wings of Ruin is getting a demo, letting you try out the early parts of the upcoming turn-based RPG.

The Monster Hunter Stories 2 demo will start June 25th, and any progress you make during the demo will carry forward into the full game itself. Considering this, it’s safe to assume the demo will simply be the early minutes of the game, so don’t expect to get too wild with the builds you can pull off here.

Aside from that they also announced some of the DLC planned for Monster Hunter Stories 2, with the first one being a DLC Monstie for the game. Rather than be a large Elder Dragon, however, the DLC is a Palamute from Monster Hunter Rise. You’ll be able to do all the Palamute’s attacks from Rise, so you’ll definitely want to add it to your team.
Sadly, it looks like it’s just going to be the default Palamute, so don’t expect to get to customize it.

Persona 5 Royal on PC Takes Your Heart in 120 FPS

Atlus’ Persona 5 Royal has broken free of console exclusivity and is now available on Switch, Xbox, and PC via Steam which is the latest platform that we’ve played the game on.

The Steam version of Persona 5 Royal is particularly interesting as it supports 120 FPS, whereas the PS5 version only runs at 60 FPS. While I’m not much of a graphics or performance guy, if you want the highest-quality version of the game for your setup, stealing hearts on Steam may be the way to go.

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

At this point, I don’t think it needs to be said that Persona 5 Royal is a good game. In fact, it’s one of the best RPGs of the last generation of consoles and a must-play for fans of the genre especially now that it’s available on pretty much every platform. As such, this article will focus less on a full review and more on what’s different and unique about the PC version.
Persona on PC

Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

I played Persona 5 Royal on a monitor with a 144hz refresh rate. Being a turned-based RPG, Persona 5 Royal admittedly doesn’t get many benefits from higher FPS. That being said, it does help the game feel more smooth and more responsive, which fits well with the game’s style. When you move from room to room, steal treasure, ambush enemies, and commence the all-out attack, everything feels just a little more fluid.
Other options include support for resolutions as low as 640 x 480 beside the rendering scale which you can adjust from 50% to 200%.  Other options include changing the Shadow quality (low, middle, high), screen brightness, anti-aliasing (none, FXAA, SMAA), and enabling or disabling depth of field (off, low, high). So, if you have a less powerful PC, you can adjust the game to fit your machine.
The PC version also goes an extra step by allowing you to adjust the individual volume for voices, movies, sound effects, and music in addition to the master volume. This is also something you cannot do in console versions.

Overall though, the difference between the highest settings and lowest settings wasn’t all that different. All the textures, shadows, particles, effects, everything still looks the same. So playing it with the best image quality and getting 60 FPS is very easy even on a low to mid-end PC.
Bugs In The palace
Since I played it on an overkill PC, Persona 5 Royal ran very smoothly. There’s no stuttering or framerate drops, just a solid 120 FPS all the way, even when in busy areas.
Unfortunately, we did run into a couple of bugs in the game. For example, when entering a certain room, I sometimes got stuck in place and when loading, the game would occasionally freeze on a black screen. To fix this, I needed to reset the game and relaunch it. These were pretty rare occurrences but they happened more than once so it’s something to keep in mind.
Mouse Keyboard & DualSense

The game supports the PS5 DualSense for PC but doesn’t utilize any of its features. You won’t experience features like Adaptive Triggers or Haptic Feedback here. The only thing we get is some vibrations when receiving damage. It’s not a big loss but would have been a nice inclusion.
One thing I really did like about the controller support however was that it automatically showed me DualSense/PlayStation button prompts when plugged in on my PC. This means you won’t see the Xbox button layout when you play it with the PlayStation controller, something that can often be confusing when starting up many PC games. It’s a nice feature that makes the game more convenient to pick up and play.
I also tried the game using a keyboard and mouse. It worked alright but I felt that the default key bindings were a little crowded so it took a bit of time to memorize them all. As such, I think playing it with a controller would be more optimal.
Verdict

So should you play Persona 5 Royal on PC? The short answer is Yes.
You should play Persona 5 Royal in general and the Steam version is more than a viable option with higher resolution and smoother framerates. It has a couple of issues but they’re so minor that they shouldn’t prevent you from enjoying the game’s engrossing story, lovable characters, and slick turn-based gameplay.
If you haven’t bought Persona 5 Royal yet, now is more than the right time to let it take your heart.

GamerBraves Newsletter vol. 47 – How Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 Are Meant To Distract From The Ongoing Blizzard Controversies

At the Xbox Showcase, Blizzard announced that Overwatch 2 will be released free-to-play this October, and if that’s not enough Diablo IV is launching in 2023 with signs up for the beta launching last week.

What great news! Two of Blizzard’s most popular IPs coming out soon after years of delay. Well, at least it would be if it wasn’t for the fact that these were announced in the very same week that the much controversial “out of season April Fools Joke” Diablo Immortal became the lowest user-rated game on Metacritic, currently sitting at a measly 0.5 of out 10.

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

Now I usually don’t pay attention to the easily manipulated user-related scores, but then you realize Diablo Immortal asks you to spend an estimated $110,000 or ten years to get enough in-game currency to fully max out your character. Netizens have been accusing it of being everything gamers were afraid it was going to be when it was first poorly announced at Blizzcon 2018: a money-grubbing mobile whaling boat.
But it’s ok because we have Diablo IV, and even just yesterday Blizzard promised that it won’t have the same monetization scheme that Immortal does. Isn’t that nice of them?

Idolmaster SideM Growing Stars livestream announced

Idolmaster SideM Growing Stars will be having a livestream to reveal more gameplay details, at last. Idolmaster SideM Growing Stars was originally announced in March, with nary any information, so the livestream will be very welcome. You’ll be able to watch it on Youtube on 9 June 2021, slated to run from 20:00 to 21:30 JST.

Alongside this announcement is the opening of the official website and associated Twitter – here and here respectively – so that fans can stay up to date. The male branch of the staggeringly large Idolmaster franchise saw its rhythm game – titled Live on Stage – be shut down in January 2021, presumably to be replaced by Growing Stars. The original SideM game remains active.

In any case, fans will have to wait for the livestream to confirm if this will be the follow up rhythm game which we can expect to have the usual trappings of music, possibly 3D MVs, various growth mechanics, character bonds and the like. It will be made available on Google Play and Apple App stores, with its release window also possibly announced during the livestream itself.
The notice regarding the stream can be found through the official website here, with appearances from Takuma Terashima (Touma Amagase) and Shuugo Nakamura (Teru Tendou).

Tales of Luminaria first stream to be shown ahead of TGS 2021

As previously reported, Tales of Luminaria is a new IP from Bandai Namco Entertainment and is set to be a mobile release for the ‘Tales of’ franchise. In that same announcement, there was a short 55-second trailer shared which you can watch below:

Based on the short gameplay snippets from the trailer, Tales of Luminaria appears to adopt a vertical gameplay perspective on mobile. The game’s graphics in combat are also presented in 3D. The game also lets players use various characters, but whether it will be a gacha game like its predecessor Tales of Crestoria is still uncertain.

The developer will be showcasing its cast of characters, but no word if there will be anything else such as gameplay.
