Baldur’s Gate 3: Gameplay reveal at PAX East 2020

At PAX East 2020, Baldur’s Gate 3 gameplay is revealed to the world with Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke on deck to showcase it, accompanied by Jesse Cox. After quite an impressive cinematic with a light touch of gore, we dive right into the character screen.

We can see there’s character customization, though for the presentation, we are taken along with a premade character. You can expect a variety of races, with halfling, halfdrow and standard human being some of the other choices you can get. There are 6 classes shown for this presentation: wizard, cleric, fighter, ranger, rogue, warlock. Astarion also has a sub-race of high elf.

There are dialogue choices present, with some requiring dice rolls as checks, just like regular Dungeons & Dragons. It seems a bit of a shame that your point of view character isn’t voiced when they regularly are, so we’ll see if this will change for the future.

The combat system is quite interesting, working like how a tabletop session would be. You’re allowed to toss anything on hand – even your boots! – and shove enemies off high places. You can interact with the environment, like setting your bow on fire, or casting a spell on terrain and see how it reacts. At one point, Feather Fall was used to jump off a tall cliffside, and no fall damage was taken thanks to the buff.

The camera seems quite free, allowing you to look around the visible areas. This should be incredibly useful in combat, which at present, has values taken directly from the book. As Swen demonstrates in the first battle, it can be quite brutal, so an easier and/or more balanced mode is definitely in the works. Hilariously enough, it would seem that NPCs you meet can refer to a prior death as in the case of a recruitable character, though we wouldn’t know how far that applies while the build is still in early access.

Incidentally, friendly fire is possible, so do be careful. You can toggle the turn-based mode at any time, so you can use it to sneak up on enemies for initiative! It’s also helpful if you need to make your way out of a trapped room. As you might expect, sticking to the shadows means it’ll be much easier for you to sneak around.

Setting up camp seems to be a toggle button, so you can rest at any point. You can chat up with your companions, as well. Your characters are fairly independent from each other, as they can be in separate places at the same time. So you can explore different areas of the same place, or have another character enter combat first before the others. Restatting companions will be possible, with class changes under discussion. Check out the various UI elements!

A lot of things possess HP values, which is something you can consider exploring in the game proper. Right now, discussion will only be on the revealed companions, so if you were hoping for certain cameos or NPCs, no information on that is currently available. There’s also the question about alignments, which are made to sound not strictly black and white, but nevertheless, a character with a Good alignment will prefer to leave if you make too many decisions they are displeased with. No projected date has been given for a playable early access build, only stating it to be rolled out after bugs are ironed out.
As it is, it seems quite exciting, so we’ll look forward to more gameplay reveals for Baldur’s Gate 3 or news of a publicly playable build! Watch the full presentation below:

Date-A-Live Spirit Pledge Global announces Index collab

The official Facebook page for Date-A-Live Spirit Pledge has announced a collaboration event with A Certain Magical Index! The post seems to say it’s specifically for Index III. Granted, perhaps somewhat ironically enough, despite it being billed as a Magical Index collab, the headliner characters are be Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai, who are both from the Scientific Railgun side.

A brief introduction for Mikoto has been posted, with the following description:

Presumably, Kuroko’s introduction will follow suit soon enough. The page does not mention when the collab event will begin, except that it should be in the immediate future given that they’ve begun promoting the upcoming characters. A Support event is available for Spirit Pledge players ahead of the Index collab, so there’s that.
The next collab event is probably going to be one with the Neptunia series, where Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert have playable units, so you’ll have that to look forward to. In any case, good luck in your gacha endeavours should any of these girls strike your fancy.

Pokemon Legends Introduces The Diamond and Pearl Clans

More new characters have been revealed for Pokemon Legends Arceus, with the Diamond and Pearl clans.

Adaman is the leader of the Diamond clan of which the previously introduced Arezu is a member. Irida is the leader of the Pearl clan and Lian is another member.

We are also introduced to Ginter and Volo, members of the Ginko Guild of Merchants that will sell you items throughout the game. They totally don’t look like a certain gym leader and champion who appear in the Diamond and Pearl games.

Interestingly in Pokemon Legends, both the Diamond and Pearl clans refer to “the almighty Sinnoh” a name that would later become the name of the region. Is this an early name for Arceus or some other legendary? We have to wait and see. It’s cool to see more world-building seemingly going into the pokemon games.

This is a famous phrase commonly attributed to (but not actually said by) Mario and Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom had been anticipated for years, being announced five years ago and being delayed multiple times.
While many fans have referred back to said quote during this time, others question how much this truly applies to modern gaming, when a big-budget title can take up to five years to release after its announcement.

Why Delay a Game
Image Credit: Gearbox Software
The idea of delaying a game until it’s at its best is a logical one. Making video games is hard, so if developers are having problems with a title we should be patient and wait a bit longer so that it can be made better.
Many games have been ruined from release before they were ready, Sonic The Hedgehog (2006), E.T., and Devil May Cry 2 to name a few, but at the same time, in the age of the internet when it is so much easier to track how long a game was announced, and how long it in development. It’s very easy for gamers to get impatient when a game is repeatably delayed and little information is given why or even worse eventually comes out and is less than stellar.
A good example of this is Duke Nukem Forever, a game infamous for taking more than 14 years to release between its announcement in 1997 and release in 2011. Years would go by between new information on the game, with little more than the promise every now and then that it was still coming. Eventually, it came out to a mediocre reception with the title more infamous for taking forever than its actual substance.
While delays may be necessary, a game with too many delays or one that goes radio silent for years can cause a rift of distrust among fans. If something is taking a long time, it usually does bode well as it implies that there is something going wrong.
The Right Way To Delay a Game
Image Credit: Nintendo
On the other hand, there are games that people seem more than happy to wait for. The most notable of these is the ongoing wait for Metroid Prime 4, a game announced at E3 2017 with a simple logo, and nothing else has been seen since. Despite this though, fans, in general, seem to be, at the very least begrudgingly ok with waiting for Metroid Prime 4. I think that’s because Nintendo met the hefty waiting time with something rather refreshing in the video game industry: honesty.
In 2019, Nintendo released a video saying that the development of Metroid Prime 4 was not meeting their standard and that they would start it again from scratch with a new developer, or rather an old developer as the game would now be made by Retro Studio, the same people who did the first three Prime games. This helped ease the blow of the game’s delay, as gamers could understand why it is taking such a long time even if they weren’t happy about it.
What I think these examples show is the importance of a game’s announcement and release date as well as what you do in between. With most games, the problem is less that they’re being delayed but really that they were announced far too early. It is clear that the reason Metroid Prime 4 was announced with just a logo was that they literally had nothing else to show.
Likewise, many of these games get announced while they are still in the pre-development phase. Video game development plans will often change throughout their creation and as such, it’s hard to market them and keep people hyped for long periods of time.
Announce Games Later
Image Credit: Capcom
The solution for larger companies at least has been simple: only announce games once they are near completion, and many of them have gotten good at it. Resident Evil Village, Devil May Cry V, Kirby and The Forgotten Land, and most recently Soul Hackers 2. All launched less than a year after their announcement.
This creates a more efficient and concentrated marketing campaign that allows for information about the game to be divided out at a steady pass and keep consumers’ attention for months instead of years.
Persona 5 was announced in 2013 for release in 2014. After two years of nothing, it was officially delayed to 2016 in Japan and 2017 everywhere else. Image Credit: Atlus.
Of course, some games must be announced early for business reasons, while others may still require delays even once they are near completion. That’s the nature of the unpredictable gaming industry however what these examples demonstrate is the importance of an announcement. It’s best to announce the game when there are significant things to show and the developer is sure that they can deliver the title.
If it must be delayed or postponed, developers and marketing need to think about what must be done to hold fans over as time passes. Perhaps with the honesty of why it is taking so long, or dropping the occasional trailer to ensure that, yes, it still exists. The openness of the internet makes it easy for fans to get together and question a game’s development but it can also be used to build a close relationship with fans and other their answers and more information.
A delayed video game can eventually be good, but you should also think about when is best to announce that game in the first place.

The game boasts “high quality 3D graphic battles” that will faithfully adapt the world of Shaman King. A new mode dubbed “Mangatic Mode” will allow players to relive through the story, immersing both new and old fans in this work. Pre-registrations are scheduled to begin in July 2021.
As you might expect, you’ll be able to build your own team using the characters of Shaman King, with battles rendered in 3D. From battle backgrounds to their ultimate moves, fans can look forward to unleashing the power of the shamans.

Mangatic Mode.
“Mangatic Mode” basically sounds like a live graphic novel, where characters movements and facial expressions will subtly change as the story progresses. The game will also see illustrations original to it.

Well, presumably there will be hot springs, right? Aha. Whatever it is, fans can look forward to trying out the game within the year.

Love Plus Every relaunches December

Love Plus EVERY relaunches in December! The announcement on the official website by Konami states that the dating sim game will return “mid-December”. As the post goes:

“LovePlus EVERY was originally scheduled to launch on 30 October, but the server went down immediately due to the unexpected massive influx of players. Although immediate maintenance was performed, we found some of the data was lost and hence took more time to fix.

We are happy to announce that the game will return from maintenance around mid-December. The exact date and in-game rewards will be further announced on our official website and SNS.”

From our previous report of the game’s maintenance, it was said that some users found an exploit to do unlimited gacha rolls for free, and unlimited login rewards. The maintenance was then supposed to roll back progress, as well as patch whatever it is.

Love Plus Every is a proper dating sim like the other games in the series, compared to the previous mobile Love Plus game that was a card collection game. You pick the heroine of your choice and you raise affinity with her. One of the pre-registration milestones was a VR mode “Afternoon Nap at the Beach”, which we can expect in Summer 2020, if it was achieved.

And away we go – Alchemy Stars launch first impressions

Maybe it’s weird to be calling it a first impressions considering I’ve played through the Alchemy Stars closed beta, but that short period of time and placeholder stuff doesn’t give quite the full picture. We’ve come a ways since the original teasers for “Star Chaser”, to a simultaneous global launch of the game, so let’s just get into it.

VISUALS
At a quick glance, the presentation has seen polish here and there, one of the places where the differences are more immediately apparent (to me anyway). Simply compare the first closed beta’s homescreen to launch below:

Changes include:

Nightium detailing
Prism icon change
Lumamber clour
Added icon for daily check-in calendar
Detailings over menus, scrolling banner, menu icons at the bottom
Profile icons now can have background colours
Homescreen background can also be changed

The gacha screen for 5- and 6-stars now also have a brand new animation and is suitably bombastic with cut-ins and logo transitions. This also applies to active skill use in combat with modified cut-ins. I’m too slow to properly capture them but take my word for it (lol). The Illustra menu now also has a built-in music player, with the selection available for you to change for your homescreen or Colossus BGM.

The sepia framed picture is the other item given to closed beta testers, the first being the Soroz icon.
After evading the pursuit of the Eclipsites, to commemorate the first time everyone met each other, Soroz specifically asked Firefly to draw this hanging picture based on the image it recorded. Almost everyone thought this was a photo because the scene was recreated so realistically.
The Good Times item description
GAMEPLAY
The core gameplay has not seen any particularly drastic changes. You’re still five to a team, four elements, units have their classes, chain combos, Ascension, Breakthroughs and the like. I’m going to be a little down here in that the pinch of “not having the right characters” hits harder in this kind of game.
In a team, you’d like to have a nice distribution of converters, DPS, teleporters and healers, yes. At launch, it is possible to have a tougher start than others if you don’t have the right composition when you don’t have a larger variety of units yet to fill their roles. In trying out two accounts, my high-rarity formation is struggling more than my lower-end team, the former not having enough converters or dedicated healer, and I don’t have high mobility as a back-up option. Gacha is a cruel mistress, but we’ll get back to that. Anyway, auto-repeat has been added, so huzzah!

They’ve made changes to the rewards, where you get 100 Lumamber for a 3-star first clear in a mission, up from 80 in the first closed beta. This is alongside milestone rewards, giving out a few more Star Flares, as well as Star Flares for 3-star clears in boss stages. Dayna has also been moved to a 10 point requirement instead of 25 in the beginner missions, giving Thunder mains an early AOE DPS option.
The controls can be a tad finicky as a command gets registered instead of cancelling like I wanted. The furniture placement in the Colossus honestly still sucks a lot, so please don’t look too closely.
Affinity levels not only unlock flavour dialogue, but also give stat increases. They’re not particularly large, but without an easier way to raise it without gifts, at least early on, I feel miffed I’m locked out of learning about my favourites so soon.

Also, could we have an easier way to see who the illustrator is for any given character? That seems like a strange oversight. Besides that, please have a standard time display for the shop and for other parts of the game; decide if you’re going to use Days / Hours or just Hours.
GACHA
Gacha banners now come in two flavours: the focus rate-up that uses a special Star Flare (converted from Lumamber) and regular Star Flares. The focus rate-up banners still contain other 6-stars at a 50% chance, nor is there a spark system, so it’s on the relatively dicey side at a base 2% chance for a 6-star. Fortunately, the rules do at least state that the accumulated probabilities carry over. I find it hilarious that Carleen is not available in the initial pool, like the devs realized how absolutely bonkers she is…
Goodbye, my carry…
10-pulls still cost 3,000 Lumamber. Daily logins over a month give a total of 300. Daily missions give 50. That’s a total estimate of 1,500 Lumamber a month, which feels a tad low for regular play.
The shop has more currencies, like the Star Gems obtained from duplicates. I assume the Star Store currencies come from maxing out duplicate 5-star Aurorians or higher, which I will not be hitting anytime soon. The Secret Store, which carries 2 regular Star Flares looks to reset at the same time as the Secret Territory seasons, so don’t go looking there for a regular stream of currency especially if you’re wanting to pull in the limited rate-ups. Secret Territory seasons reset weekly.
OVERALL
The monetization as a whole is cheaper than, say, Arknights, in my region, so if you’re interested in supporting the devs, that’s an option for you. I don’t intend to spend anything yet, so I don’t know how much Lumocrystals convert into Lumamber, nor do I see any other method of obtaining Lumocrystals at present.
I’ll definitely be enjoying it in my own time, so here’s to days to come.

Shadow Arena Closed Beta Review – A MOBA Battle Arena!

Pearl Abyss had first announced Shadow Arena during G-STAR 2019, its new battle royale game now available in closed beta for us to review! For the unfamiliar, Shadow Arena was originally a mode within Black Desert Online, but became popular enough to become a standalone title as you see now.

The closed beta had nine playable heroes, each with their own abilities and differing playstyles. In this way, the heroes can feel closer to a regular MOBA hero.

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

The heroes then have four abilities that will gradually unlock with monster or player kills. Once again, it is certainly reminiscent of MOBAs like Dota 2 or League of Legends. With the increase of levels and stats, players will get skill points to use on any of their four abilities until they’re upgraded to the third tier – the maximum.

Most of the EXP and loot you’ll want in Shadow Arena will be gotten from roaming monsters. As with a typical battle royale, you’d need to spend a little time searching for the loot you want. The upgrade system within Shadow Arena is quite interesting in that it automatically matches the loot to its appropriate slot, upgrading when it’s able. You won’t need to juggle those inventories!

Most monsters aren’t a major concern since your character can move quite swiftly, but there exist rare boss monsters that can annihilate players should they not be careful.

In the encounter with the above Shadow Lord, it would seem like no big deal to take him down. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a failure, dying when his HP reached the halfway point. Shadow Arena allows you to get a second wind to escape after being killed for the first time, and stubbornly challenging the boss again only resulted in a consecutive death.

Still, remember that Shadow Arena is a battle royale, despite its RPG trappings and appearances. The boss monsters aren’t the only thing you need to look out for. As the arena gets more confined, it can get quite nerve-wracking too. It shrinks quite fast, so it’s quite hard to quickly find the gear you want and get out.

With a 40 player game, you’d be encountering another player whether you like it or not. Each character does have their own escape skills with their cooldowns, but PVP IS a focus within Shadow Arena.

With the nine heroes available, you can check out each of their abilities and try to exploit their weaknesses. In using Ahon Kirus, losses to Gerhard Shultz would seem like an inevitability without fully understanding the strengths of one’s own character – or the weaknesses of the opponent. If you already have an interest in a MOBA style gameplay, the battle system in Shadow Arena should be pretty familiar to you.
That’s about it for a closed beta review of Shadow Arena. The test will be running from 27 February to 8 March 2020, with a launch expected on PC soon enough. A combination of MOBA and Battle Royale is an interesting mix, so look forward to trying out the game’s full release.

EVE Online: Infinite Galaxy, a sandbox mobile game revealed at ChinaJoy 2018

Quite a lot of mobile games that based on popular PC games such as Ragnarok Online: Love at First Sight and Perfect World Mobile were announced during ChinaJoy 2018, and we have more to come. EVE Online, the space-based PC MMORPG is getting a mobile version by NetEase Games too!

In the game, players will be able to explore and traverse the massive galaxy with over 100 types of spaceships to choose from. Also, players can take part in manufacturing ships, trade or gather minerals and of course, participate in the large-scale battles.

Azur Lane OBT Beginner Guide

The OBT for Azur Lane is finally available on Google Play Store and App Store, at least for select regions, but don’t let that stop you. Be sure to read our review here to see what think about it. If you are new to the game, these are some tips and tricks to get your on your way.

As is the tradition with just about every modern mobage, the pertinent question is whether or not you should reroll? For the most part, the game is very generous in providing you the necessary resources to get just about all the shipgirls, so there is no real need to do so. That said, if there is a particular shipgirl you really want right off the bat, then feel free to do so. The time between each reroll is fairly minimal in any case.

The core of any good fleet is of course the shipgirls that populate it, and with already a considerable number of them in the game already, one would be hard pressed on deciding which of the best ones are, so here is a handly list of who to aim for:
Super Rare
 Enterprise   Illustrious
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

   Belfast  Hood
 Takao
Elite
 Saratoga  Wichita
  Queen Elizabeth  Rodney
  Cleveland  Helena
  Unicorn
Rare
 Shouhou  Brooklyn
 Portland  Suffolk
 Phoenix  Leipzig
 Pennsylvania
While it is very tempting to go for the Super Rares, you are going to need duplicates or limit break them in order to get them to their full potential. As such, Elite and Rare shipgirls will do the brunt of the work as they are easier to get fully operational.
Moving on, the game does a fine job telling you what to do next, so clear the tutorial with any of the three starters they give you. It doesn’t matter which as they’re all on par in ability.

Eventually you will reach a point where the game leaves you to your own devices, and this is when the game really starts. First off all, you will want to power level in 1-4 until your shipgirls hit the level 30 mark or at least somewhere which you are comfortable with before proceeding to Chapter 2.

Once you are able to clear much of this chapter without difficulty, start grinding out 2-4 until you feel you are strong enough to tackle the next chapter. As always, be sure to upgrade some of your equipment as this will start mattering when you take on the more difficult sorties.
When your fleet is up to task, 3-4 is a great map to grind in as not only will it grant you a lot of experience, there is a chance you will be able to get Akagi and Kaga as drops. The aircraft carrier sisters are some of the best in the game, so you will definitely want them in your fleet as early as you possibly can.
Follow this guide and you should be good for the early part of the game. Let us know if it has been useful to you or if we missed anything else that beginners should know.

Project Babel is available to download on 11 June

Japan-based developer Colopl has just announced that its latest mobile RPG project, which goes by the name Project Babel, will be available for preloading on 11 June 2019.

A second PV was also released alongside the announcement, giving us a better glimpse into what the gameplay entails. Kazushige Nojima of Final Fantasy fame will be in charge of the story, which entails a mysterious Tower of Babel, which stands in the centre of the world.

Gameplay-wise, characters are able to have three jobs at any given time, each with a multitude of skills and abilities. To nurture their characters, players will have to go through battles and collect items. Proper team formation is imperative here as players need to formulate some form of strategy to fight by using strengths to your advantage and exploiting weaknesses.

Here are the Trail Mode rewards according to the mission and difficulty:
Path of Training

Path of Training will be unlocked to play once your Team Level is at level 10. However the other difficulty stages will be unlocked for you once your Team Level reaches the levels of 25, 35 and 45 for Extreme.
Golden Attic

For Golden Attic where you farm gold will be unlocked to play when your Team Level reaches level 13.
Daily Boss

The Daily Boss mission will be unlocked to play once your Team Level reaches level 17. The rewards you will receive are according to the amount of damage you inflicted to the boss as according to the image above.
Everspring Island

In Everspring Island, you play it as a board game where you roll the dice to get random rewards from the chests. This mission will be unlocked when your Team Level reaches level 25.
Sword Forge

Sword Forge will be a very important mission for higher leveled players as you gain graded Quenching Stones for your equipment upgrade. This mission will be unlocked when your Team Level reaches level 27.
Some Tips on the go
If you want to get the best rewards from the missions, it is crucial to be prepared with your team of heroes before you waste your limited stamina. A prepared team that makes use of hero’s bonds will greatly boost your team significantly as some can give an amount of % HP and % Atk. Some may even give you speed, which helps you increase your Damage Per Second (DPS). So I suggest a good team of heroes and farm up some EXP Pellets from Path of Training mission to level your heroes quickly to help you in missions.
If you’d like to know which heroes bond together you can check them out on the heroes bond list.

EVA Battlefields set for release 26 March 2020

We had previously reported on Evangelion’s entry into the mobile market with EVA Battlefields, which now has a confirmed release date. According to appmedia, the game will be launching on 26 March. The website also has a countdown timer that you can watch.

EVA Battlefields is dubbed as a “cinematic 3D battle game”. Let’s take a look at the screenshots that appmedia has shared:

It would seem that there will be online functionality where you can battle other players in your EVA of choice. Additionally, there is a curious point where they apparently intend to link the game to real life EVA figures, and utilize them as “controllers” like how you would use a PC mouse, for example. They will have ID chips to store data. This sounds much like Nintendo’s amiibos.
The game will be following the storyline of the theatrical release, but will also introduce original characters. It will be a free to play game with in-game purchases, presumably in addition to the real life figures. One presumes that a battle pass system would likely be implemented into the game as well. With the integration of amiibo-likes, it’s curious to see how overseas players may want to collect them. In any case, we’ll find out how it works on EVA Battlefields release date on 26 March.

AFA Singapore 2022 Hololive Meet Shows Just How Engaging An In-Person VTuber Concert Can Be

The second day of Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2022 ended with a bang: The Hololive Meet Event and Concert. This over three-hour-long event saw five of the popular vtubers: Moona Hoshinova, Anya Melfissa, Gawr Gura, Mori Calliope, and Watame Tsunomaki singing, playing games and showing just how energized a live, in-person vtuber event can truly be.

Just by entering alone, you can see the weight of the attraction. The Night Stage was sold out with guests back upright towards the end of the room. Those that bought a VIP ticket got a seat at the front of the hall and all of them were full. Thankfully there were several screens hanging from the ceiling ensuring everyone got a chance to see the Hololive idols and the concert that would soon start.

Moona Hoshinova and Anya Melfissa

The show began with Hololive Indonesia’s Moona Hoshinova and Anya Melfissa. They started by using the stage cameras to project the audience onto the screens, pointing out cool cosplays/posters/held-up merch. It was very cute and cool to see these famous vtubers recognize and appreciate the various cosplay and fan merch people have brought to the con.
The segment mainly consisted of a trivia game. The host picked a fan from the audience to answer a question, usually about Singapore or the vtubers themselves. For example, “what was the date of Moona’s debut”, or “when in Singapore can we find the best chicken rice”? If the fan loses, they get a punishment. If they win, the vtubers get punished. The “wheel of punishments” consists of embarrassing impressions like having to do a tsundere impression, imouto impressions, and 30 seconds of simping for the fan.

One of the funniest ones was when the vtubers lost and had to spend 30 seconds simping over the winning fan. Moona started flirting with him and asked him to marry her. The poor fellow looked like he was about to pass out from happiness. Overall it was a fun time and I found myself laughing out loud several times from the various exchange of jokes both from the vtubers and fans. It was a great build-up of energy that served as a good start to the night.
Gawr Gura and Mori Calliope

Hololive English vtubers Gawr Guta and Mori Calliope were next up. Neither has been to Singapore but they say they’re excited to be part of the Hololive Meet and concert. They also said they wish to try the chicken rice here one of these days (Singapore must really be well-known for its chicken rice).
Like Moona and Anya, they complimented some of the more notable cosplayers in the audience.
“Wait, is that Shrek!? Not here in public Shrek! Awe, I can always count on you” says Calli.
From here we went into some truly great editions of songs from both vtubers. We got a good mixture of covers of popular Japanese hits and highlights from their own albums like Calli’s ‘Red’ and ‘End of A Life’. Both singers really showed their range, performing in both English and Japanese as well as going from high-octane energetic numbers to slower, more emotional tunes. My favorite had to be Gura’s cover of ‘Stay With Me’ by Miki Matsubara since I love some retro 80s city funk.
They both gave great performances, singing to a sea of applauding fans waving their glow sticks in unison to the assortment of catchy melodies.
“Thank you for being the best crowd ever. Can we come back?” Calli
“Can we keep you guys forever?” Gura
Watame Tsunomaki – Watame Night Fever

This is the first time Hololive Japan’s Watame Tsunomaki has performed a special Watame Night Fever concert outside of Japan and even when following the already fantastic Gura and Calli, Watame was really something else.
We first had a quick Q&A session with her, where the host asked a number of questions like how she found her trip to Singapore.
“Singapore is very hot.”
She then went on to say that her favorite anime are Overlord, and Ranking of Kings, she often choices songs based on what she feels like singing on the spot and she’s very happy to be here.
When the concert properly started, it left a real impression. Unlike most vtubers, Watame’s model didn’t just stand and sing, she danced with some sleek and fluid animations. Her model size and placement made it seem like she was actually dancing on stage like you could reach out and touch her.
Her bubble gum-style pop songs were also complimented by music video-like images and special effects, giving a real larger-than-life feel to the show. The host asked the VIP audience to stand up for the first time tonight, making it feel like a true concert experience with people mashing, alongside strobing stage lights.

When I entered the AFA Singapore Hololive Meet, I wondered what a full-on vtuber concert would really be like. Now, I can safely say that it’s as fun as any other concert if not more so. The premium sound system carries their voices throughout the room and the way these five spoke and interacted with their fans truly shows how connected they are with their following. Hopefully, we’ll see them return (and get some chicken rice) sometime in the near future.

Taipei Game Show 2020 new dates are in!

The new dates for Taipei Game Show 2020 have been announced! As you might see from our feature image, the dates are now:

B2B Zone: 25 – 26 June
B2C Zone: 25 – 28 June

The event had been delayed due to the coronavirus scare, as per their previous update regarding the postponement according to their Facebook post which you can read in its entirety below:

【Emergency Announcement: TGS 2020 Postponed】
W.H.O. has declared global emergency as Wuhan coronavirus spreads. Considering mass gatherings like Taipei Game Show increase the chance of cluster infections, we have decided to postpone 2020 Taipei Game Show to this summer. The location remains unchanged at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. The specific time and date will be announced in the upcoming days by the organizing committee.

The committee did originally plan to have the event go ahead, with advice and certain changes to the schedule to ensure the health and safety of attendees. The pertinent points can be seen in a much earlier Facebook post:
All visitors are obliged to wear masks upon arriving at the venue, and to cooperate with our staff at all entrances with body temperature checks and hands disinfections. Visitors without masks will be prohibited from entering the venue. Visitors detected with body temperature over 37.5°C will be prohibited from entering the venue and requested to seek medical attention immediately. International visitors who have entered Taiwan from Mainland China within 14 days will be prohibited from entering the venue as well.
All of the public areas, elevators and public restrooms in TaiNEX Hall 1 will be enforced with intense cleanings and disinfections by the organizing committee.
… among other notices. At any rate, by June, the worst of the health scare would hopefully have passed. It’s time to check your calendars and adjust these to dates for Taipei Game Show 2020!

FGO Waltz was released in celebration with the game’s fifth anniversary, and has seen an official re-release once 25 August 2020. Prior to that, it was available as a limited download to 550,000 players. We’ll have to wait and see if it’ll ever be always available, or the game would eventually be shut down as though to reflect the transient nature of peacefully dancing with your beloved kouhai. The Lostbelt arc will be coming to a close, after all, so enjoy your time together while you can.

Dark Fantasy Fighting Game Umbral Core Announced

A new independent 2.5D fighting game has been announced called Umbral Core, which will be released for PC, PS4, and PS5.

The game will be set in a dark fantasy world and is confirmed to feature rollback netcode and uncapped FPS.

Early footage of the game has been released on the Umbral Core official Youtube channel:

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

According to the game’s website says that Umbral Core started out as a passion project that has sparked the interest of “extremely talented professionals around the world”. It takes heavy inspiration from fighting games like Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, and Tekken. The gothic setting also takes cues from Castlevania and Bloodborne.
So far one character has been revealed for the game, the Adventurer Byron who fights with a sword and demonic arm. He is meant to be the game “all-rounder” archetype.

The game will be funded through a Kickstarter campaign which they plan to launch in November of 2022. The team currently has an alpha build running with all the game’s mechanics training stage, online versus and one character will all his animations and FXs.
Umbral Core will be released for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and PC. The development team says they aim to work on the game over the course of two years after the Kickstarter campaign has ended.
All of this information and more can be found on the game’s Discord Server where the developers are actively communicating with members about the game’s progress and mechanics.
Here is the more in-depth information about the game’s mechanics that have been released so far:
Controls
Umbral Core (later abbreviated as “UC”) uses an ordinary fighting game layout with 8 Directions and 4 Buttons:
L = Light attack
M = Medium attack
H = Heavy attack
U = Unique attack
Numpad Notations
Numpad notation is a system for writing the directional inputs used in fighting games. Numbers are used in place of directions, according to their position on a keyboard’s numpad. Numpad notation always assumes that the player character is facing the right side of the screen:
1 = down/backward
2 = down
3 = down/forward
4 = backward
5 = neutral
6 = forward
7 = up/backward
8 = up
9 = up/forward
(i.e. Pressing H while holding the “down” direction is written 2H)
Movement
Walking
Walking is the most basic form of movement, done by simply holding forward or backward (6 or 4). Each character has different walk speeds and different speeds between forwards and backward.
Running
Running allows you to quickly advance on your opponent, and it’s done by double-tapping and holding forward (66). Running is faster than walking, but it comes with certain drawbacks – specifically you can not cancel running into guard. You can still cancel and run into all other actions (including jumps and attacks). Just like walking, each character has different run speeds.
The momentum gained from running in UC carries over into most other actions. This means that while running, forward jumps will travel further than a normal forward jump, and a running attack will reach further than if it was performed in neutral.
Back Dash
Back dash is inputted by double tapping back (44). It is often used for quick retreats but, unlike other fighting games, back dashes in this game don’t have any invincibility. Despite that, they are considered airborne during the first part of the move, thus making them naturally invulnerable to ground throws. The rest is completely vulnerable to attack, and can easily be punished.
Jumping
Jump is one of the air movements in UC and it’s done by inputting up directions. You can control which direction you jump towards by using 7 (backwards), 8 (upwards), or 9 (forwards). Jumps are generally the highest risk/reward movement option, since you are in a set jump trajectory and you cannot guard any attack while jumping.
High-Jumping
High Jump is the secondary air movement in UC and can be done by starting from neutral (5), then tapping any down direction (1/2/3) quickly followed by any upward direction (7/8/9). High Jump’s trajectory is higher and longer than that of regular jumps.
Air Dash
Air Dash is a way to move faster in the air. While airborne, you can air dash forward by pressing 66 and backward by pressing 44. All jumping normals can be canceled into forward air dash.
Performing an air dash as close to the ground as possible is called Instant Air Dash (IAD). The fastest way to perform air dashes is to quickly input 9 then 6 (forward) or 7 then 4 (backward).
Defense
Blocking
Blocking is the most common defensive option and it can only be performed on the ground.
Hold 4 to guard against high attacks and 1 to guard against low attacks. Mid attacks can be blocked with both 4 and 1.
Throw Breaks
You can break a throw by pressing L+U when a throw connects.
Breaking a throw causes you to push the opponent away, preventing any damage and returning both players to neutral. Only regular throws can be broken, command grabs and air throws cannot.
Other defensive options involve resource usage and will be covered in the Resources section.
Offense
Normals
Normal moves refer to any single button hit and are common across every character. Press L/M/H to perform normal attacks.
Depending on the current state of your character (standing, crouching, jumping, close to the opponent), your character will do different attacks. As a general rule, L attacks are weak and fast, H attacks are strong and slow, and M attacks are between the two.
With very few exceptions, standing normals actually have 2 versions – one when you’re close to the opponent, and another when you’re far away. For notations, these are generally distinguished by the prefix c (close) or f (far), like f.M and c.M.
Sweeps are universally performed by pressing 2U. They must be guarded low and they cause a hard knockdown when hitting on the ground.
Specials
Special moves usually have special properties compared to normal attacks. These moves require a sequence of directions + a button to be performed.
The button pressed after the required directional input determines the version of the special move.
For most special moves there are 2 regular versions (Light and Medium) and 1 EX:

Light (L): usually faster than the others but less damaging
Medium (M): usually a slower version with higher damage
EX (H): the strongest version. It has the best properties and consumes 1 Power meter to be performed

Unique attacks
Each character has a Unique attack, executed by pressing U. These Unique attacks define the character granting access to unique mechanics that can range from attacks, to power ups, movements and more. Some characters also have access to Unique Specials, Special moves performed with a motion + U.
Annihilation Impacts
Annihilation Impacts (AI) are extremely powerful moves that cost 3 Power meters to be performed. Hitting the opponent will result in cinematic animation. The inputs usually require a motion + L + M (i.e. 236+L+M). Some characters have more than 1 AI.
Doom Impacts
Doom Impacts (DI) are powerful moves that can only be performed when your Health is at 30% or less. They don’t cost any resources but can only be performed once every round. Inputs usually require a motion + U + H (i.e. 236+U+H) .
Throws
Throws are attacks that can’t be blocked. The only way to avoid getting hit by throws is to throw the opponent at the same time or jumping/getting out of range. Throws are performed by press L+U while next to the opponent. Inputting 4+L+U will result in a back throw instead.
Power Burst
A burst is an energy explosion that launches the opponent on hit. It’s performed by pressing L+M and it consumes 2 Power meters upon activation. Burst has different properties if done in neutral or on offense.
Canceling Normal and Special attacks into a Power Burst (BC – Burst Cancel) recovers quicker than the neutral version, allowing for combo extensions and pressure.
Performing Burst in neutral has much more recovery but it’s fully invincible on start-up, actually making it a universal invincible reversal that can start a combo on hit.
Combos
Combos are performed by successfully hitting the opponent with attack sequences without them being able to block in-between. Whenever you score a combo, you will be notified by the hit counter that appears in HUD. There are 2 main ways of connecting multiple attacks in combos: chains and links.
Chains
Normal Attacks can usually cancel into one another, generally following the strength order L > M > H > U. These successions are called Chains. Aside from the strength chain order, moves of the same button can cancel into one different version of themselves (i.e. close version can be canceled into far and low).
Links
Links are harder than chains since they require precise timing to successfully connect before the opponent is able to block again.
Auto-combos
Auto-combos are performed by pressing the same button in quick succession while being close to the opponent.
You will perform a different auto-combo depending on the button used (L/M/H) and on your range.
Auto-combos also use resources if available, adding an Annihilation Impact at the end if the Power gauge is full or a Doom Impact if your health is low.
Auto-combos act as an easy way to tack on a bit of extra damage, but compared to other combos they usually don’t do as much damage.
Power
Power is UC’s main resource. The Power gauge is divided into 3 sections called Power meters.
As a match continues forth, certain actions like hitting or blocking attacks will start filling up the Power gauge.
Power can be spent for:

EX Special moves -> 1 Power meter
Power Burst -> 2 Power meters
Annihilation Impacts -> 3 Power meters

You start each battle with an empty Power gauge and you retain whatever amount of Power Gauge you had at the end of any round to the following one.
Fury & Control
Fury and Control are the other 2 universal resources. Both gauges are divided into 2 sections called Fury meters and Control meters respectively.
Fury is gained by performing offensive actions like hitting and throwing the opponent.
Control on the other hand is gained when performing defensive actions like blocking and breaking throws.
Fury can be spent for:

Fury Cancel -> 1 Fury meter
Fury Install -> 2 Fury meters

Fury Cancels allow canceling a Special attack into any other special attack.
Fury Install is a power-up state that lasts a few seconds and grants a few offensive buffs for its duration:

Ability to perform as many Fury cancels as possible
Damage increased by 5%
Forced Counter-hit on the first hit you land (even mid-combos)Chip damage is increased by 10%

Control can be spent for:

Control Counter -> 1 Control meter
Control Install -> 2 Control meters

Control Counter (U+H) is a parry stance that can absorb 1 hit before triggering fast recovery, allowing for punishes that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.
Pressing U+H after parrying an attack will trigger a follow-up attack that crumples the opponent, leaving them open to a full combo.
Control Install is a power-up state that lasts a few seconds and grants a few defensive buffs:

Immediate spawn of a shield that absorbs damage (any shield left when Install ends goes away)
Ability to perform as many Control Counters as possible
Punishing the opponent rewards you with Counter-hits
No chip damage taken

You can activate both Installs at any moment, with the only exception of being knocked down. The activation doesn’t trigger any animation and doesn’t stop any action you’re performing.
You start each battle with empty Fury and Control gauges and, unlike Power, you don’t carry any of them to the following round.
