Lighting
Navigation
Map size
Transition to second floor / Trains

The Trains on the second floor get removed. The map now has easier navigation, and is easier to clear. The first floor’s Haunted House becomes the Chinese Castle. Navigation is also likewise improved, and visibility is now entirely different.
NEW CHARACTERS
WAMAI

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Wamai is a Kenyan defender is part of Nighthaven. This stoic, quiet and powerful man works for Kali. He’s pitched as an alternative to Jager, disrupting gameplay to Jager’s cancelling abilities. He’s strong against Capitao. Should you want to counter him, pick IQ, Thatcher or Twitch drones.
Wamai has the Mag-Net System that sticks to surfaces when thrown. It will work on any enemy projectile in its radius and line of sight. The projectile will be detonated at the Mag-Net’s location. Flash and frag effects will still happen at the location of the Mag-Net. The Mag-Net can only take one projectile at a time. The Mag-Net also cannot affect Hibana’s X-KAIROS pellets or Twitch’s Shock Drone charges.
Wamai can regain charges on his gadgets gradually as a round progresses.
KALI

Wamai’s boss. This attacker is the head of Nighthaven. She’s a new type of character in Rainbow Six, a sniper Operator. This one is one truly requiring that teamwork. Kali is designed as an alternative to Thatcher. Funnily enough, you can pick Wamai, and Jager, to counter Kali.
This custom rifle has an explosive under-barrel to punch holes in walls and (multiple!) Operators alike in a single shot. Headshot for instant kill, torso shot for instant down. If you get downed by Kali, you’ll automatically spin to her position.  A shot can also easily break wooden walls and unreinforced hatches. The scope has a 5x and 12x zoom.
If you find a need to break reinforced surfaces, then her Explosive Lance gadget will do the job. It’ll explode on both sides, even if it can’t penetrate a surface. It can’t break Mira’s Black Mirror, however.
QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES
The way bullet penetration currently works has given the playerbase some frustration. The team’s heard you, so what’s been done? Bullets will now properly register instead of being blocked by limbs. This is mostly a quality of life update to ensure bullets will actually hit their mark.
Rappling exits will be more streamlined now, so that players do not get stuck in the animations. It will remain fluid, just with an easier exit.
PLAYLIST GUIDE

Ranked guides often get referred to for information. Now, it’ll be easier for players of all ranks and gameplay styles to learn how to play Rainbow Six Siege. Check out the Newcomer, Quickplay and Unraked Playlist Guides!
CAPITAO ELITE

Check out this new Capitao Elite skin, Responsa!
OPERATION SHIFTING TIDES
Last but not least, Operation Shifting Tides will be available on the Test Server 11 November, meaning, tomorrow!

What are you most looking forward to in Rainbow Six Year 4 Season 4?

Arknights follows Punishing Gray Raven, replaces voice actress of Platinum, Ai Kayano

Earlier today, Hypergryph, the developer of Arknights, has announced that Ai Kayano, who voices Platinum, will be getting a replacement. This change mirrors that of Kuro Game, who replaced Punishing Gray Raven‘s Liv (also voiced by Kayano), with Miku Itō.

Last month, we wrote an article detailing the “Yasukuni Shrine incident” which led to Kayano’s voice being censored or replaced in many gacha games. You can read it here for further context.

Twitter user @passenjesus posted a screenshot of Arknights China’s maintenance notes, which revealed that Platinum will be getting a new Japanese voice actress. At the time of writing, there is no mention of who the new voice actress is, only that there will be a new one.

Arknights CN is adding new JP VA for Platinum tomorrow afternoon.

— Ling translates CN games (@lingtranslates) October 23, 2021

Note that while the Chinese patch notes mention a replacement, the Twitter account for Arknights Global (which includes Korea and Japan) merely states that Platinum’s voice will be “updated” in accordance with the requirement for the developer.

Dear Doctor,
Please note that we plan to perform the following server maintenance on October 24, 2021, 01:00-01:10 (UTC-7). Thank you for your understanding and support.#Arknights #Yostar pic.twitter.com/LdXF0yp29d
— Arknights_EN (@ArknightsEN) October 23, 2021

The term “update” is pretty vague, as it doesn’t indicate whether Global will be getting the same replacement as the one in China, or whether they will remove the voice entirely, like what has happened in China for months.
Regardless, we can only stay tuned to the patch tomorrow. Follow Arknights Global on Twitter to stay updated.
UPDATE 24/10/2021: Platinum’s new voice actress is Mizuki Kitajima.

Gaming Disorder Will Be Included As An International Classification of Disease by WHO

About a week ago back in December 2017, the World Health Organization has raised an issue of “gaming disorder” that’s lurking in the current generation. The news was also covered by Malaysia’s local paper, the Star, which states that “gaming disorder” is a mental health issue which affects the citizen’s livelihood. Now WHO will be updating and publishing the 11th International Classification of Diseases index this year which hasn’t been updated since 1992 with “gaming disorder” included in the list.

The list of symptoms includes impaired control over gaming in terms of frequency and duration, increased priority given to gaming and continued escalation of the activity despite negative consequences. On another study which was conducted in the fifth Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which was published in 2013, psychiatrists have already been recognized as a “condition for further study”.
Most countries have begun recognizing the rising issue which has led to the inclusion and recognition of the “gaming disorder” in the index. However the news has enraged many gamers who are competing healthily or actually making a career out of gaming. The stigma of “games are bad” has been around for a very long time until recently when world competitions were given the spotlight which has shed light for gamers to make a career out of it.

Blood Knight Spotlight

The Blood Knight will be a mid-range class wielding a polearm and has hybrid attack options, attacking either with melee or ranged depending on their proximity to the target.
Their abilities focus on absorbing their enemies’ life force to empower themselves.

For example, the skill Abomination transforms the Blood Knight into a powerful alternate form after absorbing blood through defeated enemies, gaining new abilities in the process.
Story
Image Credit: Blizzard Entertainment
The accursed Blood Knights are trained under the order Gea Kul to utilize ancient spear fighting techniques.
They possess an ethereal connection to other Blood Knights and must remain resilient.
To celebrate the launch of the Blood Knight, Blizzard also released a short story about them titled “Instincts” by Ryan Quinn.
More of the Blood Knights’ origins can be learned through playing a new story-driven Elite Quest ‘Vowed in Blood’ as players experience the class’s torment to harness their curse.
Image Credit: Blizzard Entertainment
To give players the opportunity to try out the Blood Knight as soon as possible, a newly improved Class Change will be implemented.
Players can convert their existing character into a Blood Knight without the first 3 weeks Class Change cooldown.
“We’re so excited to be introducing the Blood Knight to Sanctuary,” says executive producer Peiwen Yao.
“This vampiric class wields dynamic, hybrid melee prowess, allowing players to choose between aggressive physical attacks, harnessing blood magic, or something in between! We’re all looking forward to seeing what players can do with this new skill kit.”
Feature Updates
Besides the Blood Knight, other additional features will also be added to Diablo Immortal.
A new combat mechanic will add stances to each set of weapons, allowing players to gain different effects by switching weapons in the middle of combat.
The stance mechanic will be available to every class.
Image Credit: Blizzard Entertainment
A new three-week-long event similar to the Fractured Plane called the Crimson Plane will also be coming.
In this event, everyone will play as a Blood Knight to complete a 15-floor gauntlet without the players’ usual gears.
Players will instead advance the gauntlet using only pre-selected skills and their own instincts.
Upon completion, players will obtain Blood Knight-related cosmetic and legendary items.
The event will be available 13th July to 2nd August, 3 a.m. server time.
Along with the Blood Knight, up to 60 new class-specific Legendary items will also be released.

New titles being developed by Riot Games

Riot Games Senior Narrative Designer Katie Chironis tweeted out employment opportunities for a “cool game” that is “not League”. The positions wanted by the company include Senior VFX Artist, Senior Lightning Artist, and Lead Concept Artist.

Upon reading the job posting themselves, it would seem that Riot Games have actually new more titles in the pipeline. Of course, as to what these games are, we can only really speculate. What we do know is that fans of League of Legends have been yearning for an MMO-esque game set in the same universe which would hopefully expand upon the lore and allow players to visit some of the key locations featured in the MOBA.

With the rise of the Battle Royale genre and League’s rich universe and large cast, we would not be too surprised if Riot Games come up with their own attempt.

Final Fantasy XV – A quick review

Final Fantasy XV has got fans waited for 10 years for the game with great expectation. Some were disappointed, some loved it. Apart from the story and the gameplay of the game, people need to watch the Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive movie to actually know what is going on in the game. It is not just any game where you can just hop into it.

In Final Fantasy XV, the story starts off as a journey with Noctis along with his friend Prompto, his guardian Gladiolus and his mentor Ignis. They were travelling to Altissia for the marriage of Noctis and Lunafreya but was stopped when they received news that their capital city Insomnia was attacked by Niflheim forces and his father, King Regis was killed in the process.

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

The present story in the game takes place after what happened in the movie Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive. Noctis was required to meet up with Marshal Cor, another member of the Kingsglaive. The Marshal instructed Noctis to retrieve power from the ancient tombs of Lucis in order to get strong enough to bring down the Empire and rid the land of daemons. So there goes their journey visiting tombs around the map.
Game Features
“Open World”
Final Fantasy XV is known to be an “open world” game where you can traverse anywhere on the map. Well it’s unlikely so. It is not 100% “open world”. The first half of the game is open world but the second half of the game isn’t; where you’d be led in a linear path based of your quest. Further into the game will not give you much freedom of exploring and you might encounter invisible walls. Well at least the game is back to its roots like any Final Fantasy game which we are totally comfortable with. As the “open world” concept can mean too many side quests and can be boring at times.

Combat System

The combat system is a little complicated for some people who have never played a hack-and-slash game as this is not your usual Final Fantasy turn-based combat system. It requires real time strategy and decision making when you are fighting monsters and this only makes it harder when you’re fighting a humongous bosses as they take over your screen. Though Noctis has a very peculiar ability where he can warp to high places to hang or to beasts, striking them at the same time. This only makes it easy as long as you can familiarize with the system as you warp in and out of battle to analyze your situation or for healing. But the game also comes with a strategic “wait mode” for players to pause and choose their next action. This makes battles really easy as you can plan your actions.
Mini Games

In Final Fantasy XV, there are a number of mini games that you can play with. I would say it is tradition for Final Fantasy games to have mini games within the game. Within Final Fantasy XV we may encounter a sort of pinball machine. These pinball machines is a game called Justice Monsters V where you can play it just as a distraction from all the battling of monsters and Magitek army. The machines can be found in all Crow’s Nest Diners if you are keen to try it out. The mini game is even out as a mobile game now as Justice Monsters V.

There are tons of other mini games as well. The monster hunts are considered a mini game since you don’t really need to hunt them at all to finish the game. There’s also fishing, which is an activity you can do and keep it for food later. And it wouldn’t be Final Fantasy without Chocobos which you can race with! Yes you’ll need to complete a quest to unlock Chocobo riding.
Interactive NPCs

Interaction with NPCs are just like real life. They react to you when you bump into them; they would say things that normal people would say in situations. They would even bond with you. The devs has made it so that the journey with the boy band will not be boring. The NPCs would actually learn and interact accordingly. From all the situations that they have encountered, they would actually bring it up as a topic for discussion; just like you would in real life with friends. Eventually, when there are no topics to talk about, they would keep silent; just like the best moments in life, silence. Nontheless, the NPCs are pretty much fun to hang out with. At times, they would say funny things especially Prompto. Watch out for this guy.
Food porn

If you do not know yet, the food in there looks amazing. They look so real and delicious that you’d be drooling playing the game. Cooking isn’t just some activity without benefits. For example, it can boost your character’s HP, EXP and ATK. In an article of an interview we had with Wan Hazmer, one of the Lead Game Designer of the game, shared his experience with us about the food. There are Malaysian food that you can cook in the game and they look gorgeous as well. And these food look gorgeous because they had to make it in real life. After they cooked and tasted, they 3D scanned the food and sculpt them into the game.
Ear-gasmic Music

Just like all Final Fantasy series, we all loved the music. The music in Final Fantasy XV was composed by Yoko Shimomura. Her works encompassed Street Fighter II, Kingdom Hearts and now currently working on Kingdom Hearts III. For every scene you encounter the music would change and pace with the situation that you are in. That’s not all, you can listen to your favourite Final Fantasy tracks on the radio! You can download your favourite Final Fantasy albums and play them on your car radio! So your journey travelling around the vast world will not be boring with just the scenery.
Pros and Cons
Pros
The game is great for all kinds of players to hop right in. Since there is a strategic “wait mode” that will pause for every move you choose to make or a real time battle mode, players can choose whichever mode that suits them. The game looks fantastic and there is a vast world for you to explore. Tons of quest and character development. The story is amazing and it will blow your mind once you have reached the end of it. Overall it is a Final Fantasy game and we would expect what an adventure RPG would be and this fits the genre.
Cons
However there are several cons we would like to point out though. The game may be new but but it has been developed for 10 years! 10 years of development and there are plenty of bugs in the game. Though they are just minor bugs and some were even funny, but we wouldn’t expect a game that has been in production for 10 years would encounter such minor bugs. Some players called the game, a driving simulator and I understood where they were coming from. The game map is so vast that you spend a lot of time driving around and filling up gas. Sure there is auto pilot and you can teleport directly to the scene but we could use something slightly faster instead of just instant warping which would rob us the adventures of the game.
Conclusion
8/10
The game has brought back memories and I loved Final Fantasy stories. This time, they had to be a jerk and make us all teary eyed. Nonetheless the game has some pretty good mechanics that fits all sorts of players and I appreciate that thought. The mini games are enjoyable as well and you get to actually experience the life of a prince on his journey to claim his throne and destiny.

Endless Dungeon Introduces New Hero Shroom

SEGA has released a new trailer for their upcoming Endless Dungeon, showcasing the new playable character, Shroom.

Shroom is a support-type character, healing others in Endless Dungeon by collecting her Souls resource and spending them via her Wincense skill.

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

Here’s a description of the character, courtesy of SEGA:
Shroom’s opinion — shared by few others — is that every solid team needs a “plant whisperer”. Since her services as an undertaker are no longer required thanks to the Reloader, she has taken to talking up her incenses, herbal remedies, and potions as having powers akin to miracle panaceas.
Living somewhere in that gray zone between “apothecary” and “snake oil salesman”, Shroom does her best to keep the squad alive with whatever roots, herbs, flowers, leaves, and nuts she can dig up. The rest of the gang, however, wonders how good a healer she can be if she requires so much protection. After all, if her skills came from embalming dead friends, what good is she with live ones?

The character’s tool kit is as follows:
• Passive: Wincense – Increases “Soul” stock per killed monster in the room.
• Special: Soul Patch – Heals fellow Heroes by spending “Souls”.
• Ultimate: Special Mix – Increases Health regeneration, defense, and prevents death.
Endless Dungeon releases on October 19th, 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Why Xbox Doesn’t Sell Well in Southeast Asia

This Article on Xbox on Southeast Asia was available earlier as part of the GamerBraves Newsletter. Sign up for free to gain access to more articles about news and trends in the gaming industry and community.

Microsoft has certainly been making waves in the video game world over the past year or so with the launch of the Xbox Series X, most notably the launch of the Xbox GamePass and the acquisition of Bethesda. The turnaround from being formerly perceived as the laughingstock of the big three console manufacturers in the previous generation certainly brought new respect for the Green Giant of consoles.

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

Despite this, in Southeast Asia, the sales of the Xbox Series X haven’t made too big of a dent. While we don’t have the exact numbers, figures from iPrice show that they pale in comparison to the PlayStation consoles, the Switch, and mobile gaming. Why is that though? A company as big as Microsoft should surely be able to make a bigger impact. Well, there are several reasons.
The most popular consoles in SEA. Xbox doesn’t even have its own legend.
Lack of Retail Support
First, there’s the practical reason. The Xbox hasn’t even officially launched in Southeast Asia with Singapore being the only country in the region where Xbox consoles, games, and accessories are distributed (which had actually closed down but was re-open in preparation for the Series X). This means that retailers in other SEA countries must acquire the products by sourcing them through overseas wholesalers.

This not only makes acquiring Xbox products more cumbersome and expensive but it also means that the products will lack a fixed retail price or warranty. With the money required to import the Xbox, retailers may be incentivized to raise their prices.
By comparison, Sony has a Southeast Asia division and while Nintendo doesn’t, they do officially distribute their games through local company Maxsoft. This means it’s less expensive for retailers to sell PS or Switch products and it shows. Within Most local game stores here in Malaysia, you’ll see walls covered in PlayStation and Nintendo merchandise and maybe a sad stack of a few Xbox games in a corner somewhere.

This lack of Southeast Asia support also applies to The Xbox Gamepass Subscription Service. If you want Gamepass, you have to have a credit card from a foreign country which many local gamers won’t have or won’t’ see the effort in getting. Considering that Gamepass is currently the Xbox’s biggest selling point, without it there is little incentive for people to turn to the console. Even if people want to play games on PC, which Gamepass is available on, they’re more likely to game over on Steam.
The Xbox’s Online in general has a problem with payment gateways. The rules and regulations for purchasing online goods differ between each country so that money can be safely transferred from the merchant to the bank. Since Xbox Live isn’t available in these areas, players can’t use their own currency, making digital goods widely unavailable.
This lack of service also extends to publishers as well. Third-party developers often rely on the console manufacturer to provide aspects like marketing. For example, Bandai Namco Entertainment in Southeast Asia may work with Playstation to advertise the latest major release like Tales of Arise locally. Developers however get zero support from Xbox due to it technically not being sold in the region.
Granted, a reason for only setting up a regional division in Singapore is likely because English is an official language of the country. Microsoft may consider it not worth the return investment to release the Xbox in other SouthEast Asian countries since they speak a multitude of different languages that would take time and resources to translate.
Although, with the exception of Thailand, Playstation gets around this by simply releasing most of its content in English. This is because many countries in Southeast Asia like Malaysia and The Philippines have fairly large markets that speak English as a second language. They also often release games with a Chinese language option due to the high Chinese diaspora in many Southeast Asian countries. Xbox could probably do the same.
Culturally Different
There are also cultural reasons as well. Southeast Asia’s gaming tastes tend to follow along with the more dominant trends in Japan and China, the big gaming powerhouses in the region. This means that popular games include JRPGs, Gacha games, and more niche anime visual novel hybrid games, a lot of which simply don’t appear on Xbox consoles in the same capacity they do on their competitors.
The Halo Machine
Games more Niche Japanese publishers like Atlus, NIS, Arc System Works, and Spike Chunsoft tend to stay on the local Japanese consoles. Even bigger companies like Square Enix and Capcom while having multiplatform games, have offered up more timed exclusives to Sony or Nintendo and have even produced games for both PlayStation and Switch that have skipped the Xbox like Ace Attorney Chronicles or Neo: The World Ends with You.
An old nickname for the console has been ‘The Halo Machine’ which has since established the Xbox’s reputation for western FPS and action games. Now, this isn’t to say that Halo or FPS games are unpopular in Asia, they very much are, however, this perception has led to the Xbox being perceived as not having a large enough market for these more Japanese-style games and lacking in variety compared to the competition. This has always been a large problem with the Xbox’s attempts to get into the Japanese and overall Asian markets.
Potential for change
There are signs that things might change for the Xbox brand.  Earlier this year, Xbox Singapore changed its name to Xbox Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, an Xbox spokesperson later said that this was more to support their PC gaming business in the region than to release Xbox consoles or services.
In more a general sense Xbox seems to be trying to throw off the ‘Halo machine’ reputation with greater attempts to court Japanese developers with deals to get series like Yakuza and Final Fantasy on to Xbox Gamepass. Microsoft even made a deal with anime distributor Funimation (who are ironically owned by Sony) to get 2 months of free premium membership for Gamepass owners.
Not to mention, the Xbox Twitter account really likes tweeting about anime.

Yes, we’ve been hit by anime beams. pic.twitter.com/uZizaKUve8
— Xbox (@Xbox) September 30, 2020

But as previously said, these are more general strategies to change general worldwide audiences’ perception of the brand, not really directed specifically at the problems of Southeast Asia.
Xbox has a long way to go within the Southeast Asian region. Personally, I think if they put the time and resources into breaking into the market, they could find quite a lucrative audience. Many Southeast Asians really like the Netflix streaming model of only paying a small monthly fee for a wide selection of media. I could see Gamepass similarly taking off, however, this is only possible if it is available in countries outside of Singapore.

While it isn’t an exact confirmation and it doesn’t say which games they’d bring to the PC platform, it seems to indicate that Cookie Run on Steam is at least one direction that Devsisters want to take the franchise.

Devsisters said they believe that game will be important in expanding the Cookie Run IP alongside the popular Cookie Run Kingdom, which was released at the beginning of this year. Cookie Run Kingdom recently surpassed 30 million downloads.
Cookie Run games including Kingdom and OvenBreak are available for mobile devices.

They also discussed how they wanted the city to feel more alive, with civilians reacting to violence the player causes.

Razer Seiren V2 Pro and V2 X Review – Crisp Audio Quality For The Perfect Stream

We got our hands on the Razer Seiren V2 Pro as well as the Razer Seiren V2 X- two excellent microphones for the streamer in your life .

Skill aside, a microphone is arguably the most important part of one’s streaming career. Bad audio quality can be a quick turn-off for lots of listeners, and Razer knows that.

Razer Seiren V2 Pro – The Prima donna (RM729)

Compared to its counterpart the V2 X, the Razer Seiren V2 Pro feels like the embodiment of bigger is better. It’s got a fair bit more heft to it than the X counterpart, but feels a lot better to use as a result of it.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The main appeal for the Razer Seiren V2 Pro is that it just sounds good to record on. Using a combination of its high-pass filter and high quality audio drivers, sounds recorded on the Razer Seiren V2 Pro feel crisp and clear, even sounding like they were recorded in a studio instead of in an apartment.
This makes it great for any kind of vocal-based recording- if you’re a budding streamer or podcaster, you’re gonna have a great time with the Razer Seiren V2 Pro.
It also has way more features to play to this, too. The microphone comes with built in shock absorbers and windsocks- these will prevent the microphone from picking up lots of unnecessary noises, like accidentally tapping your table too hard in the middle of a heated match.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of the mic monitoring function- if you’re running any kind of professional setup, you’ll want a live preview of how you sound that doesn’t require you to export a sample first. It’s a great tool for any creator, especially one planning to do livestreams.
Out of the box, you might run into some trouble if you try to use it for any kind of musical recording, however. That filter means lower frequency instruments like a bass might lose out, but don’t fret- these settings can all be adjusted via the Razer Synapse app- so you’ll be able to adjust it for the scenarios you want whether you’re delivering sick burns or playing some tasty jams.
All That Quality Takes Space
The one downside of the Razer Seiren V2 Pro is that it is markedly bigger than its X counterpart. While your first instinct might be to nest it between your arms while streaming, expect the Pro to get in the way for this.
Instead, think of its position on your desk more like those late-night talk show hosts, who have a microphone off to the side. As long as you have the microphone pointed in your general direction, you won’t have to worry too much about the quality drop and you’ll have the added advantage of actually seeing the game screen.
It’s also by far the more handsome of the two microphones, sporting two very stylish knobs on either side of the mic that also allow the mic to swivel. It’s not a full 360 degrees thanks to the cable, however- but it’s definitely good enough to make sure you’re pointing your microphone in the right direction.
Razer Seiren V2 X

On the other hand, the Razer Seiren V2 X provides many of the same features as its Pro counterpart, albeit in a smaller package and more economic pricepoint.
There’s not a lot different from the two aside from a slightly less crisp audio- but even then it’s still a pretty amazing audio quality. Voices sound incredibly crisp and clear, though you will need to care about your setup a little more since things like echoes will still be picked up a little.
I’m also a big fan of the size of the Razer Seiren V2 X- unlike the bulkier Pro, the X is perfectly fine to nestle in between your arms while you game, since it’s small enough that it won’t get in the way of most computer displays.
Aside from that, it still has a multitude of quality of life features such as the easily accessible gain and mute buttons on the microphone to make sure you won’t have to go rummaging through menus if you suddenly feel a grisly burp coming on or need to adjust your volume to let people hear your cat purring more clearly.
I’m also a big fan of the shock absorbers- these are for filtering out more unsightly noises like bumps, perfect for the gamer who might put a bit too much time into gaming to maintain a tidy workstation. It ensures easy access to a high quality audio presentation, which can make all the difference for the viewer just tuning in to the stream.
Closing Thoughts
All in all, the Razer Seiren V2 series are some great pieces of tech for the gamer with discerning tastes in audio equipment. Admittedly they run a little steep- the V2 Pro sits at RM729, so maybe only consider that if you’ve already committed to streaming and want a great piece of audio equipment.
On the other hand the V2 X will set you back RM489, which is a little above your average condenser mic prices. You definitely get your value in money, since it’s an amazing piece of tech, but that also makes it a great gift for that person in your life who’s just getting into streaming.

Rotaeno CBT Impressions – The “Racing” Rhythm Game

We took part in the closed beta for Rotaeno, an upcoming mobile rhythm game with a unique rotation control scheme—here are our impressions. Note that Rotaeno is a paid mobile game and will release on 30th May on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Before I get into my impressions, do note that your mobile device needs to have gyroscope or accelerometer support in order to play Rotaeno properly.

Story and Presentation
One of the things that I really liked about Muse Dash (another rhythm game available on mobile) is the characters. Muse Dash had uniquely designed characters and the loading screen illustrations portray various scenarios for the girls to get tangled up in. There are times when I wondered—having some sort of story for the characters in the game would be nice.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Rotaeno scratches that itch very well. You have anime waifus and a story that has a lot of potential. While I couldn’t play most of it since it was just the closed beta, Chapter 1 of the game already set the tone for an enjoyable ride.
Essentially, players follow the protagonist Ilot, in her interplanetary quest to find her friend Hoppe. The story is presented through visual novel-esque cutscenes. The characters are very expressive and the production value is on par with some of the better visual novels out there. The only thing that’s missing is voice acting, but it’s already great in my books.

Gameplay
To progress in the story (Journey mode) and unlock new songs, players will need to play songs, obviously. The game’s tutorial does a good job at keeping players up to speed and like any good rhythm game, Rotaeno is easy to learn, but hard to master.
Basically, you’ll need to tap on your screen as notes come flying from the distance. You’ll need both thumbs (or other fingers, if that’s your preference) to do so. However, what makes Rotaeno stand out from every single other rhythm game out there is the rotation control scheme. Some of the notes require your phone to be angled properly in order to get them.
The end result is gameplay that’s pretty similar to mobile racing games. Instead of pressing on the accelerator or brakes, you’ll be tapping on whatever’s coming while “steering” your phone. It’s fun and definitely more engaging than just pure tapping.
Music and Price
As mentioned at the start, Rotaeno is a paid game. For a price of 2.99 USD on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store or 2.49 USD on TapTap, you’ll be getting 24 songs to choose from. 4 additional songs will be available for free during the game’s launch month while new song packs containing 6 songs each will release every month. Note that these song packs will have to be bought through the in-game store, so there are microtransactions.
Overall, I find the price to be pretty worth it, considering the value that you’re getting from the game. The game’s music features Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other artists. From EDM to contemporary classical, the music in this game is amazing.

Closing Thoughts
Rotaeno has all the makings of the next big mobile rhythm game. It’s fun, the music’s great and there’s even a story mode where you can see cute waifus interacting with each other. What more could you ask for?
Granted, these are just my impressions of Rotaeno from the closed beta build, so there may be changes once the game officially launches. Regardless, if you’re new to rhythm games or a seasoned veteran, Rotaeno is definitely one to check out.

The Rarest 3DS Games To Get Before The eShop Closes Down

The Nintendo 3DS eShop will be closing down for good on the 27th of March 2023, meaning that players have just under a month to buy the remaining platform exclusives from the store many of which go for stupid amounts of cash secondhand. To understand what we’re losing, I’ve made a quick list of games that are not only worth getting from the store but are pretty hard to find anywhere else (at least without going sailing to get them).

We all know games like Super Mario 3D Land or Fire Emblem Awakening are fantastic but you can also still find them for relativity cheap 2nd hand (or at least for under $50 USD). With the titles listed below, you may not be so lucky.

A funny thing happened after Persona 5 came out. Almost every game Atlus has released before that pretty much all shot up in price, and that included their many, many 3DS exclusives. Seriously Atlus loved this console and made many of its best cult classics. Here’s everything that’s still exclusive and their average price on American eBay in USD.

Shin Megami Tensei IV – $60-$80
Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse – $60-$90
Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey Redux – $70-$100
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner Soul Hackers – $60-$80
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked – $60-$80
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker – $60-$80
Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan – $60-$90
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth – $60-$100
Etrian Odyssey Nexus – $100-$170 (seriously)
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl – $80-$150
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight – $70-$120
Persona Q – $20-$60
Persona Q2 – $70-$80
Radiant History: Perfect Chronology – $80-$150

On the 3DS eShop, each of these games is priced at around $20-$40
Shin Megami Tensei

I can’t talk about each of these games but I’ll summarize. The Shin Megami Tensei games are some of the most original modern RPGs out there with great atmosphere, interesting characters, and challenging gameplay. SMT IV was also never released physically in Europe, so when the 3DS eShop closes, it’ll be gone for good.
Etrian Odyssey and Persona Q

Etrian Odyssey is a much more required taste being a strict fantasy dungeon crawler with a little story but for those that want a true challenge in their RPGs, it’s worth a shot. It should also be noted that the Persona Q games are basically Etrian Oddysey games with Persona’s plot and characters plus more accessible gameplay.
These games can go for absurd prices with Etrian Odyssey Nexus, in particular, going for well over $100. These actually might be less of a worry simply because Atlus did recently announce the DS Etrian Odyssey games are coming to modern consoles with an HD Remaster so there is a chance the 3DS games could get ported as well but with a company like Atlus, you can never be too sure.
Radiant Historia

If there’s any game to get from this list, however, it’s Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. An enhanced port of a DS game (the DS is expensive as well), it deals with a plot of Medieval fantasy politics and time travel woven into a unique turn-based combat system with gorgeous 2D pixel art. More importantly,  I haven’t seen it being sold secondhand for less than $80usd so if you wanna try it, you better decide soon.
Dragon Quest VII and VIII

Dragon Quest has made some headway into western markets with Dragon Quest XI but two of the best games in the franchise are currently available for 3DS. These are Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII.
Of the two of them Dragon Quest VIII is considered among the best in the series and the 3DS version is often considered the definitive version with new playable characters, dungeons, and a chance to marry the lovely Jessica Albert (best girl).
Physical copies for both games go around the $100 USD mark secondhand, although the PAL region versions go for slightly cheaper at around $50 USD. The 3DS is region-locked though so keep that in mind. On the 3DS eShop, they are both priced at $50.
The original version of DQ VII can still be found on PS1 but it’s just as expensive as the 3DS. DQ VIII is a bit better being relatively cheap on PS2 and mobile devices however the former is on an older console you might not have and the latter is considered a weak port with no voice acting and feeling cramped on the verticle mobile touchscreen. As I said, the 3DS version is considered the best way to play the game so look into it while you can.
Yokai Watch

The 3DS is the console that saw the rise of the Yokai Watch, the biggest competitor to Pokemon since Digimon’s peak popularity in the early 2000s.
Yokai Watch 1 surprisingly isn’t too expensive, but the sequels are another story. There are three versions of Yokai Watch 2, kinda like Pokemon back in the day. These are Bony Spirits, Fleshy Souls, and a third version called Psychic Specters. The former two are around $40-$60 but Psychic Specters is a kidney costing $250ish.
Yokai Watch 3 isn’t much better. The few copies being sold online are going for well over $300. You’d have better luck actually summoning an actual spirit than buying these games physically. Meanwhile, all of the games on the 3DS eShop are priced at $40.
Yokai Watch 1 was ported to Switch but only in Japan. Now that Level-5 is actually bringing games over to the global markets again that might change but Yokai Watch 2 and 3 are still only on 3DS.
Professor Layton

Another Level-5 IP, Professor Layton has multiple games exclusive to the 3DS that aren’t the easiest to find:

The Miracle Mask – $70-$100
The Azran Legacy – $150-$350
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – $100-$150

As you can see, The Azran Legacy is the big offender hear going for an absurdly high price. Like with Dragon Quest, these are actually a lot cheaper in Europe where Layton is a lot more popular but once again, the 3DS is region locked so you’ll need a PAL version 3DS to play them.
On the eShop, Miracle Mask and Azran Legacy are $40, while Professor Layton vs Pheonix Wright is $30.
Kid Icarus Uprising

Pit may not be able to fly on his own, but the price of his game sure can. Kid Icarus Uprising is a beautiful rail shooter made by Masahiro Sakurai, the guy that created Super Smash Bros. Unfortunately it’s going for about $100-$150. Sakurai once joked about bringing it to the Switch but it hasn’t happened, for now, it’s best to get it on the eShop for $35.
Nintendo eShop Exclusives

Let’s end this list with a few smaller digital-only games that are currently stuck on the eShop. Once the store goes down, they’ll be gone for good legally, until they’re ported to a newer console. If that ever happens of course.
Here’s a short list of games to look out for. With the exception of Rhythm Heaven, none of these are more than $20. Also, keep in mind the 3DS Ace Attorney games are now on mobile devices and they play fine so I’m not counting them.

Pushmo – A cute puzzle game from the makers of Fire Emblem.
Rhythm Heaven: Megamix – a fantastic first-party Nintendo rhythm game with the quirky art style of WarioWare.
HarmoKnight – Speaking of Rhythm games, here’s one from the creators of Pokemon. It’s a platformer where you have to jump and fight to the beat of the music.
BoxBoy Trilogy – Three excellent minimalist puzzle games from the developers of the Kirby series.
Crimson Shroud – So RPGs are inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, well this RPG literally plays out in the style of a D&D campaign with characters represented as figures and dice rolling as you go on your quest.
Liberation Maiden – An eccentric shoot ’em up developed by Suda51 of No More Heroes fame. It sees the high school-age president of Japan get in a mech suit to fight an invading country from stealing their energy.
Attack of The Friday Monster – A unique adventure game about a young boy growing up in a rural 1980s Japanese town. A great homage to the golden age of Tokusatsu, probably my most recommended on this list.
Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball – A very unique concept. It’s a free-to-play baseball game but you have to pay real-world money to buy equipment. The main game however is haggling with the store owner rusty to get the prices as low as possible. I doubt you can play it properly after the eShop shuts down but it’s worth a download at least.

Farewell 3DS

There were so many great games on 3DS eShop, this article is only scratching the surface. Hopefully, you’ll be able to snag a couple of these before the eShop shuts down (or find them through other means).
The sad thing though as after the store shuts down, there’ll likely be even more games that will go up in price as they’ll become far more inaccessible for people to purchase. In all seriousness, it may be easy for more hardcore gamers to say “just pirate them” but there are a lot of people that don’t have the time, patience, or knowledge on how to do that so they simply won’t be able to play these games and that’s just sad.
Occurrences like this are part of the reason video game preservation is so important and I hope companies like Nintendo, Atlus, and Level-5 at least make an attempt to do better in the future.

Razer Launches Restorify, a Traceble Carbon Neutral Checkout Solution

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

Razer has revealed Restorify, an e-commerce service rolled out by Razer Fintech, the financial technology arm of the company.
Restorify is a traceable carbon-neutral checkout and was launched during COP27, the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Carbon offsetting has the potential to be one of the more effective methods used to lower carbon emissions in the atmosphere. However, carbon credits are typically denominated in metric tons, each of which is not readily divisible. In such size, carbon credits are not readily disposed of for the purpose of offsetting everyday purchases. Razer says they are addressing these challenges through Restorify and is seeking to support OECD’s vision to reach $147/tonne by 2030 if the World hopes to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

The key drivers for Restorify, are to promote more transparency and accountability in the carbon market and to make it easier for businesses to offset their emissions while empowering consumers to be a part of the solution.

Razer has been working towards becoming net zero by 2030 and has prioritized emissions reduction and recycling in its decarbonization journey. The company has adopted ‘Life Cycle Thinking’, meaning it follows the best practices to reduce emissions across the key stages of its products’ lifecycles, from mineral sourcing to manufacturing, transportation to end of life.
“Our life-cycle approach allows us to develop interventions that drive emission reductions, but carbon credits will still have a role to play in the transition to becoming net zero,” says Min-Liang Tan, Co-founder, and CEO of Razer. “In our own journey to net zero, we have realized that there are growing pains and that not all carbon credits are equal. With Restorify, we hope our novel approach towards carbon credits will foster greater accountability and transparency within carbon offsetting.”

For consumers
Restorify fractionalizes carbon credits in its reimbursement process so they can be made available in smaller denominations, empowering consumers to make offsets a part of their daily lives. Restorify aims to rebuild trust around carbon offsets by only allowing traceable offsets with realized decarbonization effects to be used by consumers. In other words, while some competitors promise to offset emissions in the future, with Restorify consumers can rest assured that emissions relating to their purchases have already been offset.
Razer has started to curate a diverse portfolio of carbon credit projects which aspire towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. To do so, Razer is working closely with partners such as leading energy and urban solutions provider, GoNetZero, as well as ESGpedia, which can aggregate the end-to-end traceable data of high-quality carbon credits from origination to retirement, and cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The traceable carbon-neutral shopping cart offered by Restorify will enable consumers to view the carbon footprint of a product, so they can make informed decisions. Furthermore, as they check out, they will also be empowered to offset the products they buy with carbon credits already retired from verified carbon registries.
Upon purchasing the carbon credits, consumers will receive a certificate detailing the total amount of carbon emissions that have been offset by their purchase, what kind of project the retired credits have supported and in which country, as well as the certification standard. These individual fractionalized transactions are digitally recorded onto the ESGpedia registry where consumers can track their carbon offset efforts. This level of transparency is currently otherwise lacking in today’s consumer carbon offset market.

Ongoing projects will also be monitored and reported regularly for verification and to assure the consumer of the integrity of the carbon credits.
For Businesses
Razer believes that brands have a responsibility to be transparent with consumers about the carbon footprint of their products so that buyers can exercise responsible consumerism. That’s why Restorify applies a mass product emissions calculator that helps businesses estimate their carbon footprint based on a product’s emissions across its life cycle. The impetus for this service arose from the realization that some businesses don’t have the means to calculate their products’ carbon footprint and Razer wanted to provide one.
Restorify will also encourage and provide businesses with a pathway to evaluate the environmental impact of their products through the ECOLOGO Certification, Environmental Product Declaration Certification, or Product Carbon Footprint Verification using Razer’s ecolabel partner, global safety science leader, UL Solutions.
Finally, Restorify’s carbon-neutral checkout is available for businesses to integrate into their existing platform. Razer will be working with partners from its supply chain as well as more than 50,000 merchants under Razer Fintech’s network to support their transition to net zero at no additional cost. AWS will also be supporting Razer to make Restorify available to more than 100,000 partners from 150 countries.

“With a commitment to power all AWS Regions globally with 100% renewable energy by 2025, AWS is committed to being the world’s most sustainable cloud. This charter combined with the differentiating breadth and depth of AWS data services makes AWS an ideal partner for Razer as they embark on this exciting new chapter. This collaboration provides Razer with both development and go-to-market support for Restorify, an innovative carbon tracing solution that will deliver long-term benefits to Razer’s business, customers, and the environment,” said Conor McNamara, Managing Director, ASEAN, Amazon Web Services.
In conclusion, Razer is seeking to bring more accountability and transparency to the carbon industry through Restorify. While carbon-neutral shopping carts exist, the solution offered by Restorify ensures that all carbon credits used are traceable, so consumers can know exactly where their money went. Restorify allows consumers to meaningfully take climate action by enabling them to offset their purchases, and will also help businesses decarbonize so that the planet remains an arena everyone can continue to play in.

100 Sleeping Princes and Fullmetal Alchemist collaboration announced

GCREST‘s 100 Sleeping Princes and the Kingdom of Dreams mobile otome title announced a collaboration with Fullmetal Alchemist as part of the game’s 7th anniversary celebrations. There’s actually barely any details beyond the announcement, but you can probably be assured of one thing: the collab characters is more than likely only the men, as befitting its title and genre.

The game has been in service since March 2015, with GCREST having recently launched Dream Meister and the Recollected Black Fairy, also an otome title, which takes place in the same universe. Going by the previous collabs that were available in 100 Sleeping Princes – also referred to simply as “Yume100” – a selection of the Fullmetal Alchemist cast will be available from the associated gacha, with accompanying event story and the game’s own Princes suited up in outfits inspired by the series.

[E3 2019] The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition is heading to the Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch is really expanding its library of ported games, this time with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition heading for the console in 2019.

Developed by industry darling CD Projekt Red, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition will bring the third instalment of The Witcher series to the Switch. As Geralt of Rivia, you have to fight against evil creatures and look for your missing adopter daughter.

Considering that the Nintendo Switch’s hardware is far from that of a powerful PC, it’s not clear how much of the graphics for the game will be compromised. However, what little we can see from the trailer above seems decent enough.
This Complete Edition not only includes the base game, but also the “Hearts of Stone & Blood” and “Blood and Wine” expansions. In addition, you will get 16 other DLCs, stickers, a map, and The Witcher Universe: Compendium.

Genshin Impact Kotobukiya Barbara Scale Figure Announced Seemingly By Accident

It looks as though Kotobukiya has accidentally revealed their plans to produce a scale figure based on Barbara from Genshin Impact.

While their original tweet has been taken down, hobby blog Figsoku managed to post up the linked image, showing Monstadt’s favorite idol in all her 1/7 scale glory.
UPDATE: miHoYo has officially announced the figure on their website.

The Genshin Impact Kotobukiya Barbara figure will feature Barbara in a pose evocative of her card art, complete with her musical note effects made of translucent plastic.
It even sports a pretty detailed paintjob, with all the gold trimmings on her outfit sporting a metallic finish compared to the rest of her outfit.
It’ll be available for Pre order soon, though since we’re not even sure if the image was meant to be posted yet there’s no official date for the figure’s pre orders.

Barbara is the third character from the game’s starting Monstadt region to get the scale figure, after Mona and Klee. That being said, she’s the first Monstadt 4-star to get a figure this way.
She plays a semi-prominent role in the game’s first act- as the deacon of the church, she’s there when you return the Holy Lyre, albeit worse for wear.
She was also part of the first batch of characters to get a hangout quest, seeing how her status as an idol has affected her daily life.
