This game, which has yet to be titled, will purportedly take place after the end of the anime and corresponds with the plot of the upcoming sequel movie. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress first aired in 2016 and was worked on by the staff involved in Attack on Titan. It tells the tale of individuals who travel by steam trains to survive an apocalypse – in which a mysterious virus have turned much of the population into zombie-like creatures known as Kabane.

Uma Musume opens pre-registrations ahead of game release

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby will finally be launching soon after seemingly languishing in development hell, and pre-registrations for the game are finally open! There’s no specific milestone, but there are two separate ones that you can chip in for:

Every 50,000 pre-registrations will give enough currency for 1 gacha pull along with 1 “start dash” item
Achieving 250,000 pre-registrations will give out currency for 10 gacha pulls

Apparently the currency name has been changed to Jewels, but it will not affect the item in any way. For now, there’s no notice of a potential worldwide release of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, so you’d have to join in the pre-registrations train for the Japan release and maybe they’ll consider importing it someday. The official website notes that the release date for the game may still be subject to change, but hopefully that won’t be coming to pass.
The game will also be made available on PC via DMM Games scheduled for a 10 March 2021 release. Players will be able to link their accounts for cross-platform play.

Judgment Duology PC Port Review – Justice Is Served, By PC Master Race

Judgment has at last arrived to PC, and it’s the duology too with all its accompanying DLC. It’s been a long time coming, considering the Yakuza series being brought over as well. As mentioned, the PC port comes with the original Judgment, Lost Judgment, and includes The Kaito Files DLC featuring the Yagami Detective Agency’s ‘muscle’, Masaharu Kaito, which you can obtain in a bundle.

This review will be focusing more on the quality of the port over the games themselves, which we have already reviewed. Do check them out here: Judgment, Judgment PS5, Lost Judgment.

Related Posts

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

For reference, the basic specs of the PC (ASUS ROG GL531GU) the duology port was tested on:

CPU: Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
RAM: 16GB

JUDGMENT
With an initial download of 22GB going up to 33.2GB, it’s still 10GB less than the PC port of Yakuza: Like A Dragon. There is a bit of loading time needed for the initialization, but so long you have an SSD, it should be smooth sailing from that point onwards. The PS4 version suffered from slow loading times, struggling with scene transitions, so this is a definite improvement.

Settings wise, there’s plenty of jazzy graphical tweaks to help improve performance. We have adjustable FPS limit that ranges from 30 to Unlimited, and refresh rate options up to 120Hz. 1080p resolution should work out just fine for most people unless you have a larger monitor.
There’s quite a decent spread of presets, starting from Extra Low, Low, Medium, High, Extra High, then Custom. For the especially particular, there’s plenty of details you can try tweaking though the biggest difference in the presets only seems to be the “sharpness” of the visuals. It’s honestly impressive to see the game keep a “consistent” visual style / effect no matter how low you push the graphics down.

Additionally, there’s the option for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 & 2.0. I hadn’t realized it also supports NVIDIA GPUs, so you do have the option to take advantage of this either way to further upscale the game’s resolution without overly sacrificing your framerates in either Best Quality or Performance flavours. Seeing this option should assure you that the game will most definitely be playable on your rig, with some allowances, as the game itself is quite a demanding title.
On a gaming laptop, there were no crashes, glitches or bugs, outside of the initial scene transition hiccup. At max settings, FSR 2.0 on Quality, the framerate was consistently between 60 to 80 FPS. Occasionally it can fluctuate to 55 or 100 FPS, but considering the original PS4 only offered a 30 FPS experience, the Judgment PC port runs like a dream. With the lowest settings options, the FPS averaged at 70 FPS, so if you can run it at anything higher, please do.

Putting aside the 98 – 99% GPU usage, despite acknowledging the demands of the game, it doesn’t actually use all that much CPU or RAM. It does bear remembering that the port was tested on 1080P resolution, so the performance quality could potentially vary. All in all, Judgment has gotten an excellent PC port.
LOST JUDGMENT
Now, we have Lost Judgment. The initial download will set you back around 44GB, while the file size inclusive of The Kaito Files DLC bumps it up to 56.8GB. Settings wise, there isn’t much difference from the first game, except for the presence of Geometry Quality. This setting is capped to High, with the Refresh Rate also locked to what the system uses, needing you to manually adjust it from your PC display settings for any changes.

I run on the assumption that the sequel is likely more taxing, but surprisingly, Lost Judgment can actually manage a better frame rate than its predecessor at 70 – 80 average FPS for a roughly 10 FPS boost. I don’t even need to assume either; Lost Judgment‘s Yokohama is bigger than Kamurocho, so its improved performance is very welcome. Similarly to the first game, there can be FPS jumps up to 100, but so long it doesn’t dip below 60, I’d say that’s acceptable if not incredible. Unfortunately, there seems to be some inconsistencies in the smoothness of the cutscenes for whatever reason, in what appears to be an even better port.

For completion’s sake, the lowest preset can offer a 20 FPS boost at best, settling at an average 80 FPS. Nothing too drastic, but improved from the first game.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
What is there to say except shower praise on RGG Studio for incredible work on the Judgment duology PC ports? Imagine shadow-dropping such well-optimized releases, with the sequel performing better than the first? While there is certainly one or two hitches, it doesn’t diminish the overall quality. For laptop users, they’re not even as power-hungry as they could have been, so go ahead and be the vigilante you’re allowed to be.

Kokomi Voice Actress Restricts Livestream Thanks To Toxic Genshin Impact Fans

Genshin Impact fans have been harassing Gui Niang, the Chinese voice actress for the new 5-star Kokomi, prompting her to restrict comments in her own chat.

Image of the chat enabling the new restriction
In one of her streams, fans reportedly took to her chat to harass her over their displeasure with the character, causing the voice actress to restrict the stream. A new rule was implemented on the stream, meaning only fans with a Badge Level of 3 (similar to a tiered membership) could comment on her streams.

Gui Niang made a reference to the situation on her Bilibili account, never directly calling out the incident directly.
“Then I’m just a small voice actor, can do limited things, I just hope that each because like [Kokomi] and curious to see my dynamic people can be in a relaxed and happy environment, relax  ~ (sic)”, she says, with translations provided by DeepL.

Fans harassing voice actors for characters is something that’s all too common in the community, with the English voice actors having also been harassed during the 2.1 livestream.

I’m frustrated. Voice actors don’t know everything about the projects we’re in. We’re normal people with jobs that we do our best on.
People make all these assumptions about us and our work, esp with English VAs. There’s a lot we can’t clarify. But mentally, it’s draining.
— Zach Aguilar (@airzach) August 20, 2021

“I’m frustrated. Voice actors don’t know everything about the projects we’re in. We’re normal people with jobs that we do our best on.“, says Zach Aguilar, English VA for Aether, the male playable Traveler in Genshin Impact.
Kokomi’s Troubled Launch In Genshin Impact

Unfortunately Kokomi’s entire launch has not been particularly great. It doesn’t help that this is the first banner following up the Raiden Shogun- one of the best selling character banners in the game, also plagued with its own fan backlash.
On top of that, leaks from the beta had painted an unfavorable picture for Kokomi- whose role leans more to support and healing. In a game whose endgame is mostly DPS races, fans found the character underwhelming, acting as if they were still forced to spend money on her anyways.
While the game’s Spiral Abyss added new mechanics to further push Kokomi, the fandom was already unhappy with the character, leading to the mess that exists now.
It should be stated that at no point was harassing the Kokomi voice actor a valid course of action- something the Genshin Impact fandom has still not yet learned.
miHoYo has also been quiet on the matter, with the Genshin Impact account (aka the place most fans would see) not issuing any kind of statement regarding the matter.

Next Overwatch patch will require full reinstall

Blizzard has just announced that the subsequent major update for Overwatch will require that players reinstall the entire client. Among other things, the patch will introduce Ashe, the newest playable character.

Without going into detail, Blizzard is apparently making “fundamental changes” which are so significant that they cannot just be patched over and necessitates a complete reinstall.
A post on the official forums detailing the reasoning:
“Hey folks,
We wanted to get ahead of this early and let you all know what to expect with our next big patch. We don’t currently have a release date/time with this, but will update this thread once we do.
The next major patch will have some pretty fundamental changes to the game client. The number of back-end changes we’re putting in is substantial enough that we can’t just patch over the current content efficiently. As a result, when the next patch comes out, the client will fully reinstall itself to handle these changes. We know that this isn’t ideal for people on metered connections, so hopefully this announcement helps you prepare for this coming update.
Thanks for your patience with this matter, and we’ll see you all in game!”

China reportedly banned Battle Royale games, corrective action for others

When it comes to policies and rules, China is well-known for having one of the most strict regulations. Not too long ago, China established its Online Ethics Review Committee to vet online video games. The committee has reportedly found all 20 initial games to have violated ethical regulations.

Out of the 20 games, 9 games were outright banned while the remaining 11 were sent back to remove “controversial content”. The committee’s purpose is to “guide online gaming companies to follow social moralities”, “prioritise the mental and physical health of teenagers”, and “promote the healthy development of the online gaming industry”.

Banned Games
According to a source from Reddit, most of the games banned come from the Battle Royale genre. Surprisingly, Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds made it into the ban list. Furthermore, other games like Paladins made it into the list as well.

However, out of all the games that were banned, Fortnite stood out. This is because the reason given for banning Fortnite does not make sense. For those who did not notice, Fortnite is famous for being completely devoid of blood graphics.
Corrective action required
Overwatch’s Widowmaker is well-known for her revealing outfit
On the other hand, popular Blizzard games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch require corrective actions. Even Riot’s League of Legends did not escape the shortlist. The primary cause for these seem to stem from revealing female outfits and inharmonious chatroom. Overly revealing outfits have been part of the RPG genre for a long time. The crackdown on these outfits coincide with the regulations placed on Chinese TV where revealing outfits are not allowed.
Similarly, League of Legends also have their fair share of revealing outfits
On the other hand, inharmonious chatroom may refer to the lack of censorship in chatrooms. China has strict rules regarding on what is allowed and what is not. In China, games tend to have a list of censored phrases constantly updated to adhere to requirements. Hence, the lack of censorship can be seen as a problem based on Chinese regulations.
At the moment, there has yet to be a formal announcement from the committee. Until then, results of the review may change altogether. Hence, please take this information with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.

A Leak Has Revealed The Entire Street Fighter 6 Roster

Less than a day after the reveal of the Street Fighter 6 state of play trailer, what is believed to be concept art of the entire roster for the game may have just been revealed in a leak from 4Chan.

The Twitter user @zero_setsu has compiled a thread featuring all the character art that has been found. The art includes the four currently known characters in the game: Ryu, Luke, Chun-Li, and Jamie wearing the same outfits that they do in the trailer. You can see the leaked roster here.

Here are the characters that are believed to be part of Street Fighter 6 according to the leak, starting with the returning veterans:

Ryu
Ken
Zangief
Dhalsim
E.Honda
Blanka
Guile
Chun-Li
Cammy
Dee Jay
Rashid
Juri
Ed
Akuma
Luke

It seems that all of the original eight World Warriors from the original Street Fighter 2 will be coming back for the latest game.

And here are the newcomers:

Marisa – Italian MMA fighter
Jamie – The Hong Kong fighter that appears in the new trailer
Mimi – French Fighter
Riri/ Lili – Mexican Native American fighter
JP – Russian fighter
Kimberly – American fighter
A.K.I – Chinese fighter

While 4Chan leaks should usually be taken with a grain of salt, there is strong evidence that this leak is real.
The trailer for Street Fighter 6 that was shown at today’s Playstation State of Play features images of the unreleased new character Marisa and possibly Dee Jay on billboards in Metro City.

While there is still a chance that the Street Fighter 6 leaked concept art could be fake, I personally think that this is probably real. With the Street Fighter 6 trailer releasing today and announcing Jamie and Chun-Li, there wouldn’t be a lot of time for so much detailed concept art to be made for a hoax. The fact that it includes one, possibly two characters that haven’t been revealed yet further implies it’s legitimate.
Street Fighter 6 will be available in 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Unlike Final Fantasy 15 which is clearly set in modern times, Final Fantasy 16 appears to take place in a medieval setting of sorts. The game also features action RPG mechanics like Final Fantasy 15, but whether players can teleport and zip around the map as effortlessly as Noctis remains to be seen. The game does appear to be more fast-paced than Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin based on the trailer.

“Twenty-six years after the release of the original Pokemon games—the Pokémon Red Version and Pokemon Green Version in Japan—the number of Pokemon discovered has finally surpassed one thousand! Let’s celebrate the occasion by looking at some of your favorite Pokemon!”
While 1008 different Pokemon is quite the achievement, we should also keep in mind the video doesn’t even list the various alternate forms that many pokemon have like Mega Evolutions and Regional variants, many of which can be considered distinct pokemon in their own right. There truly is a pokemon design for everyone.

The video goes especially far to highlight Gholdengo, the evolution to Gimmighoul, and the 1000th pokemon recorded in the national dex.

“Gimmighoul evolves into Gholdengo when it levels up after its Trainer has collected 999 Gimmighoul Coins. Apparently, this lively and cheerful Pokemon’s body is made of a thousand coins. It is friendly to both people and Pokémon”.
“Gholdengo functions by controlling the coins that comprise its body, and it even uses them as weapons in battle. The coins are densely packed, making Gholdengo durable. It can absorb impacts and lessen the damage it takes by letting coins fly off from areas hit by enemies. Gholdengo can attack by firing coins from anywhere on its body.”

It is featuring tons of exciting yet familiar contents from PC MMORPGs such as real-time battles, PvP, interactive social system and boss raids, those who like PC MMORPGs will probably like Kaiser too. Also, there will be various types of mounts including flying dragons and horses available.

Interestingly, there are 2 versions of Kaiser launched simultaneously – a normal version for the teenagers and an age-restricted version for the mature players. Unfortunately, both versions are only available in South Korea for Android and iOS now, so let’s pray for a global version in the future!

Square Enix teases new smartphone game project featuring weapons

A countdown teaser website for an unknown Square Enix game for Android and iOS is currently up right now.

The page in question features weapons and related quotes from an assortment of Square Enix games such as Legend of Mana, Kai-Ri-Sei Million Arthur, NieR: Automata, Romancing SaGa and Seiken Densetsu 2. Given that they are specifically weapons, one would imagine that Square Enix is trying its hand at making a game that is similar to Touken Ranbu. Given that the latter has got the female gamer market cornered, Square Enix may instead focus on the other end of the spectrum.
In any case, do expect more information when the countdown hits 20 September 2017 for the reveal. With the Tokyo Game Show taking place the day after that, we are going to guess that is when Square Enix will divulge even more on the game.

New zones will be gradually added to Kamasylvia with even more new content to enjoy.
A new Boss “Narc Brishka” is also available in the new region. This powerful monster will spawn when the Narc Brishka Boss Mission is completed. Adventurers can obtain Knowledge, increased DP, and various rewards when Narc Brishka is defeated.

Dynasty Warriors Review – Do Pursue

The Dynasty Warriors game series is arguably one of the best adaptations of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms epic out there, on par perhaps with this author’s personal greatest of all time, Koihime Musou, although that a topic of discussion for another time.  By being completely faithful to the source material, the Dynasty Warriors movie stand out by being one of the better video game movies out there, a feat that only a few others have achieved, such as Mortal Kombat back in 1995. Fans will delight in the over the top action and rocking soundtrack that are synonymous with the franchise, which easily overshadows its weaknesses as a standalone movie.

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

Yes, this movie has flaws, and they are pretty glaring ones too, which primarily stems from the indecisiveness of the director. At some points, it feels like Dynasty Warriors attempts to be (yet another) wuxia period piece, which it barely pulls off, before it remembers that it is a videogame movie first and foremost. However, if you are able to put up with its technical deficiencies, there is much to enjoy here as a franchise fan. It opens with the Yellow Turban rebellion that has been depicted for the umpteenth time. The production team is aware of that fact and they mix it up with an odd incorporation of supernatural elements, where fallen soldiers are resurrected as the undead. That does very little to impact the general flow of sequence however, as heroes Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrive and make short work of the horde regardless. These three are easily identifiable with their trademark in-game costumes and weapons, although it should be pointed out that Guan Yu in particular lacks the imposing stature that his real life counterpart is known for. The familiar rock music kicks in and soon the battlefield is cleared with a mix of swipes, swings and musou activations.

After the dust settles, the movie dips to its lower points, as without the aid of cutscenes, it has to actually string together plot points before we get to the next action set piece. This is where the aforementioned indecisiveness surfaces, as the depictions of characters and chain of events flip flop between staying true to the book and the more abridged version presented by the game. Some critical moments are presented faithfully, while other are mentioned only in passing. There is even an odd Lady of the Lake sequence, where Liu Bei and his blood brothers are bestowed their legendary weapons, which serve very little purpose other than provide exposition for the two other central figures in the form of Cao Cao and Lu Bu. Speaking of the two, the casting leaves much to be desired, since like Guan Yu, Lu Bu is not quite the intimidating character you have come to expect, while Cao Cao has been replaced by his otome game counterpart. To be fair, with an epic tale with such a large cast, the director did give the important ones their fair shake for the most part, and developed them sufficiently to have more depth and their game depictions, even it falls short compared to the likes of Red Cliff, for example.

But to circle back to the original point, Dynasty Warriors shines the most when it is not doing anything story related and goes balls to the walls with the action. This is exemplified in the ‘final’ battle against the mighty Lu Bu at the Battle of Hu Lao Gate. Any indiscretions by the movie up to this point has all been forgotten as all the best parts about it culminates and is amplified here. The conclusion leaves much to be desired however, although that is to be expected given the actual flow of events. Many things are glossed over and it is quite clear the the production team intends to make more installments. Seeing as how this has been very entertaining so far, more of it is definitely welcomed.

Xiaomi 10T Pro Review- The Queen Of Phones

When it comes to phones, sometimes it pays to be a jack-of-all trades. This is way more apparent with the Xiaomi 10T Pro, which combines a bunch of really great features such as a high-end camera, top of the line chip and luxurious screen size to make a phone that has a lot of raw power, but lacks the higher-end bells and whistles of specialist phones.

On top of that it comes at a neat RM1999 price tag, making it to the more affordable line of phones, especially if you know that good parts are going to cost you. All that being said, what’s in a phone? Read on and find out:

Size
165.1 x 76.4 x 9.3 mm (6.5 x 3.01 x 0.37 in)

Weight
218 g (7.69 oz)

Screen

The Physical Stats
The Xiaomi 10T Pro is a pretty decent size, with some good heft to it. It weighs in at 218 grams, so maybe don’t handle it with one hand if you’re not 100% confident in your wrist workouts.
Follow us on Twitter

The back of the phone also uses AG glass, making it feel very comfortable in your hands. Ours came in Aurora Blue, which is a really pleasant color to look at.
It also comes with a 5000mAh battery, capable of being charged to full in just about an hour. It also supports 5G, as well as wifi6 so you’re ready for the future of connectivity and blazing fast internet speeds.
On to the bells and whistles, it comes with your standard security features such as fingerprint-reading, as well as faceID for unlocking your phone when your hands are busy.

Screen
The Xiaomi 10T has a pretty nice screen, at 6.67 inches with Full HD. It has several refresh rates, which allows you to choose between prioritizing a higher framerate and not being stuck on the train with no battery. You can choose between 60Hz, 90Hz and 144Hz, which is a great selection if you’re the type to swap between gaming and texting regularly.
Watching videos can be a little frustrating with the phone, though, as the phone’s proportions can lead to trouble with 16:9 videos. You may notice videos start to bleed a little, which can be especially problematic if the videos you’re watching aren’t subtitled properly and outside the safe titles.
You’ll find this is less of a problem with games though, since 6.67 inch displays are fairly common for phones and many mobile games are built around this size.

Camera
The 10T has a pretty decent set of cameras, including a pretty solid front-facing camera. It’s a 20MP camera, and can even record videos in 1080P at 30fps.
Unlike many phones which try to push big features on their front camera, the 10T is okay with it just being fine. Considering how limited you are in using a front facing camera, this isn’t really a negative for it. But it can be underwhelming when you realize it’s only just a decent camera.
But from a purely practical standpoint, 1080P for video and 20MP for photos is perfectly serviceable, unless you were planning to livestream rhythmic gymnastics or something.
On the back end, the Xiaomi 10T joins the trend of multi-lens phones. with a lens for every occasion. On top of its standard lens, it comes with a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens as well as a 5MP macro lens, meaning hobbyists and scenery photographers can have a field day being able to take all the shots they want, near or far.

The main character is no slouch itself, with 108MP making sure you get your photos as clear as possible. It’s also capable of shooting 4K video at 60fps, which is an impressive feat for a phone. If you’re really gunning for power, the phone has an onboard AI for upscaling your video to 8K.
You have to activate this before shooting, and it caps your recording at 16 minutes. It’s a great burst of power when you need it, but you probably won’t see much use for it other than to brag about your cat video being 8K.
It’s also excellent at night photography, being able to make sure not even a lack of sunlight is going to stop you from getting every detail in your photo. It also works well with the beautification features, making sure your night photos are looking sharp.
Gaming
The Xiaomi 10T uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, one of the best chips on the market right now. This means that it should be equipped to handle some of the most demanding games on the mobile market with little difficulty.
In general, the 10T has no trouble running most of the big games, even on their most demanding settings. There are some exceptions of course, but optimizing games for mobile is more art than science, meaning it’s not squarely the phone’s fault.
There’s also cause to praise the chip with the phone’s power management. Half an hour of max-setting gaming only managed to drain the phone’s battery by 5%, with minimal heating issues. This is the kind of stuff you look out for when checking a phone’s chip, since many phones nowadays have heating management as part of the CPU.

Genshin Impact
One of the most demanding games out on mobile, Genshin Impact has been a great tool for benchmarking phones. Aside from being graphically intensive on its own, the sheer amount of particles and effect you can then put on-screen are great to really tell you how well your phone copes under pressure.
For the most part, we got Genshin Impact to run pretty well. While idle, the game can reach 60FPS with no problem. However, hich-action moments in the game tend to cause a bit of a problem, causing the phone to freeze. This might not entirely be the phone’s fault though, since Genshin runs on so many devices the chances of it just being poorly optimized are pretty decent.

PUBG Mobile
We also got to try out PUBG Mobile. As a battle royale game, it’s a much better benchmark since they’re one of the more popular genres on the market. On top of that, PUBG mobile just got a big graphical update, which is a great means to show it off with this phone.
Sure enough, the phone has no problem running PUBG Mobile with all settings set to max. It easily hits 60FPS, never dipping lower than 55. Additionally, the game also looks amazing after its recent graphics overhaul, so you won’t have to worry about getting killed just because you wanted your game to look a prettier.

League of Legends: Wild Rift
Another popular game on smartphones, Wild Rift gave us the opportunity to test what it looks like when you really flood the screen with objects, thanks to its MOBA nature.
Sure enough, chaotic team fights are no match for the 10T and its processor, breaking 60 with ease. By our own reports the phone could even hit over 100FPS, meaning you’ll have nothing to blame but your own skill if you end up doing poorly in your matches.

Conclusion
For its price point, the Xiaomi 10T is an excellent piece of tech. It suffers a little as an everyman phone due to its larger size, making it unwieldy to use one-handed. Similarly, it’s also not going to score well against other gaming phones, since its middle-of-the-road approach means it won’t have any of the fancy features that more bespoke phones have.
Yet if you compare its quality vs price, you’ll find this is actually an excellent phone. On top of its high-quality internal chip, it also has one of the best cameras in the market with its 108MP main camera, all with a pricetag of RM1999.
In short, it’s a good phone. You can also pick one up via the brand’s Lazada online storefront.

Cons
