Code Geass Genesic Re;Code announced for 2021

One of the newly announced Code Geass projects announced this past weekend is a mobile game, named Code Geass Genesic Re;Code. This title comes with the usual works of featuring a new original story with new characters, but will see the return of the cast from the anime as well as the movies. You can check out the trailer below:

We should expect it to be a gacha title as usual, looking to be a turn based RPG of sorts. From the trailer, there looks to be both battles on a 2D plane as well as on the overworld. There’s no gameplay preview on the official website, so we’d have to stay tuned for that. Pre-registrations for the game are already open, though no milestone rewards were revealed. Code Geass: Genesic Re;Code is expected to launch in Spring 2021.

Alongside the reveal of the new mobile game, a new anime series was also revealed, titled Code Geass: Zet of the Recapture, also expected to air in 2021. You can watch the trailer for the anime below:

The anime project might have some ties with the game, perhaps to flesh out the characters even more. In any case, the resurrection of older properties, be it anime or games, doesn’t look like it’s stopping, so keep an eye out.

However, players may want to hold on to their Twilight Crystals as the Re:Zero collab will also happen later this week. Odds are, the event characters will have a much lower chance of returning than Princess Kaguya/Minstrel. Thus, it is recommended that you do not pull from the Echoing Chants banner, unless you are a Minstrel main or if you are a huge fan of the character.
Thankfully, like most major events, players can expect to get some Twilight Crystals from the ongoing social media campaign.

Is Bon Odori Religious? Selangor Sultan Says No Amid JAIS Row

The Sultan of Selangor has stepped in amid heated discussion around the Bon Odori summer celebrations held in Shah Alam caused by Selangor Islamic Religious Department ( JAIS ).

According to The Malay Mail, His Royal Highness summoned the director of JAIS, where he decreed that contrary to their own assumptions, the festival was not a ploy to convert Muslims.

“His Highness attended the event several years ago and did not find any elements that could erode Muslim beliefs, as it is just a social event involving Japanese businesses and their employees in Selangor,” he said in a statement.
“His Highness is of the view that many cultures have links with religion, but not necessarily is religion part of a culture”, the statement continues.“His Highness also stressed that the act of worship is different from the act of observation”.

Celebrating The Right To Celebrate
Image Credit: Embassy of Japan In Malaysia

On the internet, many have praised the Sultan of Selangor’s intervention, amid what appears to be JAIS and key conservative figures suddenly realizing that Malaysia had been holding the celebration since the 1970s.

“Why on earth tetiba(TL: suddenly) JAIS nak halang (TL: wants to stop) Bon Odori? I mean, it’s held in Panasonic Stadium for like more than a decade. Credit where it’s due to His Majesty the Sultan to allow it to proceed”, says Twitter user Hanif Azid.

The row itself has set off another chapter in the ongoing culture war between religious authorities and ordinary Malaysians, who are more than happy to make time in their schedule to rub it in when JAIS screws up by celebrating Bon Odori.
“I’m not even going to Bon Odori before this. I’m tempting to go to this year simply just to piss off JAIS“, writes Twitter user ak47suk1
Of course, it wasn’t just state-level authority condemning the festival. In prior days the same sentiment was also echoed by JAIS’ national level counterpart, JAKIM, as well as Religious Affairs ministers.
“A study conducted by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) found that the festival does have religious elements, so we advise Muslims not to participate in it”, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Idris Ahmad.
Considering the cultural role of Bon Odori as celebrating the diplomatic ties between Japan and Malaysia, some, like lawyer Azira Aziz are simply happy this didn’t evolve into a potentially international incident.

“The lesson from Bon Odori festival is that as senior civil servants/holders of public office you must go down & understand the thing you are condemning before making erroneous statements. It could’ve cost us goodwill w/ Japan and our business/trade relationship”, she says.

While it’s all fun and good to attend a cultural festival though, there’s an important to reminder that Japanese culture and Cosplay are separate things, and to do actually respect the culture by not viewing it as just another convention.

The Underground Complex will also be added as a new map. Located under the Hawkins National Library, it seems it’s the source of an inter-dimensional rift that released dozens of creatures prior to its sealing. Exclusive cosmetic items, including Steve’s scuffed rolled sleeves and Nancy’s torn sweatshirt, will be added too.
No specific update date for the crossover has been revealed. Considering that Dead by Daylight will be on the Nintendo Switch come 24 September, maybe then? We’ll have to wait and see. In the mean time, why not pre-register for Dead by Daylight‘s mobile version?

Odin Crown to end service

Game developer GameJeans has just announced that it will be terminating the service  for its ARPG MOBA, Odin Crown on 31 July 2018. Bear in mind that Odin Crown only came out in February 2018, meaning that we are looking at a shut down of a game barely six months, let alone a year, into it service.

Odin Crown is the first mobile game developed by the developer, which is a subsidiary of Cygames. The game attempted at the idea of combining the elements of MOBA games with RPGs, which is not exactly anything new.

The plot revolves around the tale of the Odin Crown, a relic which said to be powerful enough to allow its owner to rule the universe. The game boasted a pool of 50 unique characters which is the standard for games of this sort. As for gameplay, we are looking at run of the mill MOBA mechanics, so you know what to expect.

The Intel® Evo™ platform certification was awarded to the Summit and Prestige series for their lightweight design, rapid response, and long-lasting battery life. Discrete graphics, powered by NVIDIA, fuel the Summit and Prestige series to help people express their passion and help business professionals reach their goals. The Summit Flip models also feature a seamless 360° 2-in-1 design utilizing the touch screen capability to swap into a tablet mode. And for the Modern series, popular French illustrator Lorraine Sorlet collaborated on four visual designs revitalizing the series with a more “modern” look. The robust MSI lineup has a Business or Productivity laptop for everyone.
According to MSI Notebook Worldwide Sales & Marketing Director Derek Chan:

“MSI’s roots are in high-performance laptops, and our Business Series laptops are built to complete any workspace. Our core mission has never changed; it’s built to be the backbone that maximizes your productivity.”

Summit Series: Determined to Succeed
The Summit Series has been the top-of-the-line Business & Productivity laptop for MSI since its inception in 2019. Aside from the existing Summit E13 Flip Evo and Summit E16 Flip, the new Summit E14 Flip Evo is joining this year’s ranks to provide even more sizing options for different user needs. The Summit E16 Flip is powered by NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ Graphics to further boost its performance. The display also comes protected by Tobii Aware, automatically locking the laptop if the user is not nearby or by blurring the screen from prying eyes. “We are excited to partner with MSI and bring Tobii Aware to their users, a software based on attention computing,” said Ulrica Wikström, VP of PC at Tobii. “Users and businesses want computers that proactively work to keep their information secure while also helping with their wellbeing and productivity. This is exactly what Tobii Aware brings when paired with MSI’s new line of laptops.”
Stay secure with implemented enterprise-grade securities such as webcam and port locks, discrete TPM support, fingerprint or IR webcam, and webcam status notification. However, being secure does not mean the Summit can’t be lost or misplaced. Never lose track of the laptop with integrated Tile finding technology. With the free Tile app, activate and locate the Summit laptops nearby or far away.“MSI Summit series is built for productivity, but it’s impossible to be productive if you spend unnecessary time searching for a lost or misplaced laptop,” said CJ Prober, CEO of Tile. “Our collaboration with MSI and Intel makes it easy to unlock Tile’s finding power with the pre-installed Tile Windows App, ensuring people can stay focused and productive.” Additionally, AI technology allows the Summit to automatically adjust the system resource based on the scenario. With a myriad of new features, the Summit Series will help you succeed.
The new Summit series comes with superior security, impressive performance, and thoughtful product design, “It is here to complete your workplace and maximize your productivity.” Said Steven Yang, MSI Notebook Division, Regional Sales Manager.

A new life for the family – EXCLUSIVE interview with Haden Blackman on Mafia: Definitive Edition

The first look at Mafia: Definitive Edition is finally revealed. One does wonder if the most die-hard of Mafia series fans would have expected the remasters of the entire series, in a year that’s seen quite a few announcements for remasters and remakes already too. Whatever it is, it’s coming, and for a series like these, there are certain expectations that comes with remastering. It looks like a whole new game already when compared to the 2002 release.

In any case, we asked Haden Blackman, CEO of Hangar 13, a few questions from our burning curiosity to answer. With over 20 years of creative and production experience under his belt, he’ll be bringing his touch to Mafia.

Asking why a “definitive edition” instead of a direct sequel is a pretty natural question. Blackman admits the team did start work on an original IP once they were done with Mafia 3 and its DLC, while another group was working on Mafia franchise projects. This latter group pitched the “definitive edition” idea, wanting to remake it due to:

having been part of the original team of the initial release
use modern technology and gameplay sensibilities to have the game be more in line with their original vision, made for today’s consoles

All three games will available on the same platforms as well, lending to that feeling of a comprehensive Mafia experience. Blackman is confident Mafia 1 will be well received by fans, and should he be vindicated, a true sequel for the franchise would be justified. He expresses his hope to also do more games for the series; wonder where we would go next?

There are elements of “newly added narrative plot”. This means a bigger focus on Tommy’s relationship with the other characters, with Sarah being singled out. She’s the love interest in the game, but is only ever seen once in the original despite Tommy mentioning her a lot. By giving her more screentime and depth, players will be able to better understand why Tommy is willing to risk it all to protect her in the beginning of the game.
What we wanna do is expand upon it where it makes sense.
Besides Sarah, Paulie has also been given more depth, because he’s the big dreamer with the Plans to set up the things towards the end of the game. Blackman adds more bout the rivalry between the Morello and Salieri families: the latter are the underdogs in the rivalry which eventually escalate into a war, and they’ve tried to play it up.
They wanted the plot threads to make more sense and be easier to understand, with little changes here and there just to ensure a better flow. The main missions have been given the focus for Mafia: Definitive Edition, providing a linear narrative-driven experience in this beautiful world, with the pieces shuffled around.

Mechanics wise, Mafia: Definitive Edition has taken them from Mafia 3, but with changes to fit the game besides improvements to the AI. Tommy’s a cab driver who grew into his role as a mobster, but Lincoln Clay of Mafia 3 is a trained soldier. They’ll move differently, and have different weapons being in different eras. You could go guns a-blazing in 3, but they want you to think more carefully about your cover in Mafia. Likewise, there will be options at your disposal to make the game more challenging, or a more casual time if you simply want to enjoy the story.
It’s been 18 years since the original release of Mafia, and once again, they’ve updated the controls from Mafia 3 for Mafia: Definitive Edition. In the case of driving, it will also have settings to make it either more accessible, or have it behave closer like a simulation game. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, taking what’s best off 3 and adapting them accordingly to the game. Blackman wants you to have the game feel like a gangster-inspired thrill ride, to have plenty of fun with it and memorable with every major beat.

The COVID-19 situation has definitely impacted development, but thanks to working on Mafia 3, it was a little easier to optimize the assets. The biggest challenges were in regards to the gameplay and the missioins.
How do we update the gameplay, make this mission more memorable, make the combat more satisfying?
Bringing up the race mission of the original, they wanted to keep its spirit with the tracks remaining roughly the same, but also have players on the easiest difficulty setting still be able to clear it.
Enemies are deadlier in Mafia, because you’re no longer the trained soldier from 3 from which they’ve gotten most of the base systems. They’ll be using their arsenal more intelligently to flush you out, the ordinary Tommy turned mobster. The word “cinematic” is thrown out too in regards to the combat, referring to the tight combat set up and its flow. Enemies won’t be dropping in out of nowhere, to say the least.

Features weren’t exactly scrapped, Blackman emphasizing their focus on the core linear narrative around which all their features revolve around. They did cut out what they felt was repetitive, so if you were worried about those boring side missions, you don’t need to worry about that. Their mission to update Mafia can really be summarized as “focus on main story”.
Blackman hopes that the team’s labour of love gets through to the players, with scenes and encounters given loving attention and detail. They wanted to get the set pieces right, down to the flag; the American flag of the era had less stars than today. With their passion poured into the game, it’s only right that players should look forward to seeing Tommy back in action, with the whole cast of characters that make the story a whole.

It’s marrying the old and new with Mafia: Definitive Edition. It’s been a long 18 years since its release, and it’s getting some life again. Should a sequel come to fruition, what do you hope for it to have? It’ll soon be time to welcome new members into the family fold, or to greet the old boys again.

It’s time to go home.

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Preview: A Strategy Game For Only The Most Ambitious

When we got the preview for Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening, the latest in a long line of Historical strategy games made by Koei Tecmo (probably most well known for their Pokemon Crossover Spin-off), I was ready to engage in some methodical samurai warfare but I wasn’t prepared for the incredible intricacies of nation building across my conquest.

Nobunaga truly was an ambitious man, he had to build up the different areas of his provinces, organize policy meetings between his council members, and of course wage war and expand his territory to unify the islands of Japan. This translates as a lot of menu managing, stats to keep track of off, and different factors to appease well before you enter battle. It’s not a game for everyone but it’s you can get past the learning curve, you’ll find a satisfying game of strategy.

Sengoku Period Japan

The plot of Nobunaga’s Ambition Awakening takes place during the Sengoku period in Japan between the 15th and 16th centuries. The emperor has lost all power and is little more than a figurehead leading to different Japanese warlords vying for power in order to become the nation’s military leader, the shogun. One of the said warlords is a young man named Oda Nobunaga as his crazed ambition to unify the entire nation will leave a bloodstained path of conquest.

You can definitely tell that the game was made with a Japanese audience in mind, as it sort of expects you to have a decent understanding of Sengoku period history to understand each of the events and what makes them significant.
The narrative is a bit odd in general though as it has a lot of visual novel-style cutscenes but these are used more to frame the historical events rather than illicit drama almost like a documentary. The characters feels rather flat which can make some of them hard to remember when there are so many different generals and warlords. Nobunaga himself is a bit fun in how much of a risktaker he is but for a character that has appeared in so much of Japanese media, he doesn’t quite have the larger-than-life persona that he has in other games. That may be due to the more grounded take of the game but still, he’s just not that memorable.
Another issue is despite this being a Japanese game, based on Japanese history, it only features English which seems like a strange omission. The dub acting isn’t bad but I don’t feel the voice actors fit the character, often spouting very stock NPC-style style battle lines that feel very bland.
Setting Up Your Empire

One cool thing about the game is that you can start off with any clan at any time period, although the game does recommend on specific time with Nobunaga’s clan, which will include a rather wordy but necessary tutorial on how to start.
The crux of Nobunaga’s Ambition can be separated into two sections: building up your domain on the overworld map and then using said new resources and soldiers to head into battle. Building your domain is done by clicking on different provinces and selecting one of the many options to build and customize them. Using your limited amount of gold and manpower, you need to plan the construction of different settlements like farms, depots, or markets as well as facilities like canals and training grounds. Each settlement requires time to build so you have to really think about what you need and how you wish to use your land.
Outside of the construction work, you’ll also have to hold policy meetings. This is where you can decide on new policies that affect the stats and growth of the whole domain, as well as appoint your generals to different settlements and even marry off certain units to maintain loyalty. I won’t lie it’s a lot to take in at once and can feel overwhelming when you start.
Accessibility Options

The game expects a lot of the player. There are a lot of numbers and tutorials to keep track of, making this very much a game for the most hardcore strategy fans first and foremost. If you play this game, that’s simply what you’re getting into.
That being said, the game does attempt to be a bit more accessible to newcomers, you can pause the real-time gameplay whenever you need or even fast-forward time to get your building projects made faster.
There are also several difficulty options to make the adventure more digestible and all of your current projects, tasks, and potential objectives are presented in a list on the left side of the screen which helps you keep track of what needs doing which really helps even if it still takes time to understand how each feature slots into the bigger campaign. I found that after a while I did get the gist of the different mechanics but it still felt I was only scratching the surface of everything the game had to offer.
I should note that pre-ordering the game will also get you a bonus feature called the “Power Up Kit“. This is essentially a cheat mode that allows you to further edit the game’s difficulty to make it easier such as making your armies far more powerful. To balance this, however, you won’t be able to play through certain events or unlock achievements while in this mode. It’s a good way of helping newer players while also promoting them to try to higher difficulties later on.
Overall, it’s very much a game for those that want challenge but it does truly get you into the feeling of being a daimyo and all the variables you need for successful warfare. Speaking of which…
Warfare

It wouldn’t be a samurai strategy game without going into battle and the game gives you several options for it. You can choose specific territories under your rule to expand into other factions by invading and occupying neighboring provinces as well as targeting enemy castles which will cause your troops to militarize. It starts off as pretty risky and takes time to build up troops.
Once they’re ready however they’ll ride across the map and attempt siege castles and occupy land, you can even incite revolts in your neighbors and use the opportunity to take them for yourself. Like all things in the game, war can take time but with greater numbers and well-placed troops, you can take over more land which then requires defending and building to secure it as your own.
Triggering certain requirements however will take you to the main event, full own battles with multiple soldier units fighting it out Total War style. This mode of combat is full of real-time strategy with you having to select between different troops to attack the enemy and lay siege to their castle or base, this can include figuring out the right routes to approach the enemy and where to move them.
The first battle I was put in placed importance on leading certain troops of enemies away so the main force could quickly sweep the enemy’s leader. It can get pretty tricky figuring out what the best course of action may be but with some good preparation and thinking quickly on your feet and you should be able to find victory (and if you don’t, the game is pretty lenient able letting you restart the battle).
Nobunaga’s Ambition Awakening

Nobunaga’s Ambition Awakening is a complicated game that requires a lot of forethought and attention. The story is pretty bland and the different amount of stats and skills to customize and build can feel very overwhelming but for strategy game fans this could be just what you’re looking for. I’ll give them credit for trying to address the learning curve with the quality of life difficulty options but at the end of the day, this game caters to a specific niche and simply won’t be for everyone
Once you come to understand each of its different parts it does start coming together to make for a grand tale of conquest as taking over new provinces and crushing opposing armies as a result of your hard work comes with a definite feeling of satisfaction.
It’s not a game for everyone but if you feel the surge of ambition racing through your bones and are ready to get your hands dirty in a tale of war and strategy, this could be the game for you.

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening will launch on the PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PS4 on the 20th of June 2023.

Kafka Steals the Hearts of Honkai Star Rail Players Even Before Her Release

Honkai Star Rail offers a huge cast of larger than life characters with lovable personalities, one character in particular takes the cake as being the most popular, Kafka, even before her release. But what makes this specific character so compelling for so many people?

Image Credit: HoYoverse
Kafka is a member of the Stellaron Hunters, a shadow organisation who collect Stellarons, a mysterious object spreading across the universe like a cancerous growth. Star Rail player’s first introduction to Kafka is as early as the opening cut-scene of the game, with her dramatically playing an imaginary violin to the tune of Canon in D while the Herta Space Station gets invaded by space aliens. Talk about a first impression.

Throughout the story of the game, we come across the Stellaron Hunter time and time again as being portrayed as one of the antagonists in the game. Whenever she appears on screen, it always feels like such a treat seeing her showing up in the most dramatic way possible.
Image Credit: HoYoverse
It also helps a lot that both her Japanese and English voices has their own charm to them. Ito Shizuka, and Cheryl Texiera respectively did a fantastic job at making Kafka as this beautiful yet mysterious Femme fatale archetype. I think I can speak for everyone where the one scene that really stood out was the interrogation scene at the Xianzhou Luofu where the players gets to talk with her in person for the first time.

With her equally visually pleasing design and personality, Kafka has gained countless of amazing fan art across multiple platforms, even getting over three thousand works on Pixiv alone; (the highest amount compared to other Honkai Star Rail characters) and spawning various communities dedicated to the Stellaron Hunter, such as the Daily Kafka Twitter account and Kafka Mains subreddit with well over thousands of users.
One of the most persistent consensus within the community is how they revere Kafka as a maternal figure, mainly because how Kafka “gave life” to the Trailblazer by inserting a Stellaron in them. It became such a big meme that even the official English voice actors brought it up in the latest version update livestream.

Needless to say, fans are eagerly waiting to when Kafka comes to Honkai Star Rail as a playable character in version 1.2.

Deus Ex Go – 80% Off in Stores

Deus Ex Go is a game developed by Square Enix Montreal and was released in August 18th 2016. The game features many abilities that you can use just like the PC title. Instead of roaming around stages freely, it is a turn-based strategy game. Players will need to choose their moves carefully to avoid, hack into systems or complete any other objectives to solve the puzzle of the stage. As the game progresses, the difficulty increases which challenges players to use their creativity by using the abilities of Adam Jensen, the protagonist in Deus Ex.

Just like any other puzzle games, you will need to use your creativity by calculating or just being cunning. You will need to plan your moves to know how the robots and guards would react. The ability to turn invisible for a few turns gives you plenty of mobility as certain stages requires you to go stealth. There are certain challenges in each stage like, solving the puzzle in a number of turns. There are 54 stages in total. However when you are unable to solve the puzzle of the stage, you can also pay to get solutions to the puzzle. Which defeats the purpose of a puzzle game.

Playing as Adam Jensen, you will find yourself moving around on a board-like area, take out enemies or slipping past them to get to the exit. Because the game has a narrative to it, the story will sometimes bring you to save an important person as your mission. However you will find yourself in a myriad of obstacles which you need to get past such as turrets, robots and blocked paths. One of the things about Deus Ex is that you can hack. Roadblocks sometimes require you to hack them by visiting a terminal and creating a path to the object you want to manipulate. Yes, you can also hack a turret to kill off your enemies in the stage which saves you time.

Despite the purposefulness of the pay-to-get-solution, the puzzles are fun and satisfying to solve. Square Enix Montreal has developed other Go series such as Hitman Go and Lara Croft Go. Both its predecessors are alike however Deus Ex Go is one of its kind being the first in the Go series to have a narrative, a story with a mission.
Currently the game is at 80% off on sale! If you haven’t checked out the game yet, get it NOW!

Football Manager 2023 Review – Scoring In The Big Leagues

When first looking at Football Manager 2023, it suffers from a lot of the same problems that a number of other annual sports franchises do: it feels a little too much like the last game. While this is still true to extent of the 2023 iteration of the almost 20-year franchise, it does try to add new elements and make the game feel as polished as ever.

Football Manager 2023 still manages to breathe life into the long-running franchise with a focus on fan involvement and the image of a Football, making it feel more linked to traditional football culture. It’s also the first game in the series to use a licensed league: in this case The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), something that adds a definite prestige as you pick your team and enter the field.

The UEFA Champions League

The Football Manager games don’t really have any plot to speak of. It’s a simulation game where you take the role of well, a Football Manager. It’s your job to manage a team in the UEFA and lead them to victory.

I quite like how the developer presented the UEFA Champions League here. You can see how intense it is when the drawing in the Group Stage and the Knockout Phase starts. especially if the team you are building gets into the “hell” group. The developers did a great job of providing the same high-stakes sensation that it would feel like in the real world.

That being said, I do wish the atmosphere of the league matches was a little better. When I entered a match in the UEFA Champions League, it felt a little too much like being in a regular football game. The only difference is the iconic intro song to the UEFA Champions League scoreboard. It would be great if the atmosphere given could be more lively, your team is on the world stage, and the weight of that achievement should really hit you as the manager but it never really does.
Matches With A More Challenging AI

In terms of gameplay on the pitch, it’s up to you to get the best players for the best roles against your AI opponents. For the most part, the game isn’t too challenging in this regard with one big exception of the rivals. One significant difference in Football Manager 2023 is that the AI is far more difficult during rival matches.
I could easily beat the “equivalent” clubs in the UEFA Champions League but for some reason, it was very difficult to compete against my rival, FC Schalke 04 (I’m using Dortmund). The players here will likewise feel pressure because of fans who demand to always win against rivals.
One on hand it may be overly challenging however, I actually found myself enjoying that feeling of pressure. It does get you into the head of not only a football manager but even a player. The stress of needing to win, keeping fans happy, and ensuring your future career, it’s all real.
Revamped Scouting

One of the other differences in Football Manager 2023 is the revamped scouting. Unlike previous games, you don’t need to understand the detailed aspects of examining young players and their talents. Instead, they are now already described in a rating. Players will be categorized as Recommended, Near Matches, or Ongoing. After knowing the rating and suggestion, you just have to choose which player is the most suitable for the club and match with the budget you have.
I really like how they present the scouting feature here because it becomes more detailed and easy to understand at the same time. In a game all about looking at statistics, it’s nice that one of the most important aspects of the game, recruiting players, has been made a little more convenient and accessible.
Fans & Supporters

One new mechanic in the game is that fans can now be important for your role as a manager at a club. They call this new feature “Supporter Profile & Confidence”. If fans are not satisfied, fans can influence the club board’s decision to terminate your contract as manager.
They usually have requests and demands like finishing at a rank higher than the club’s rivals, getting as many local players as possible, using young players, playing attacking football, and even demanding to win the league and be the best in Europe.
What I appreciate about this is that this feature is implemented depending on the club you’re working for. Let’s say I’m a manager at Dortmund. They have many “low profile” loyal fans, and they won’t demand much from you, you just need to defeat your rivals, use young squads, and become the dominant club in Germany. However, it’s very different if you’re a manager at a club like Manchester United. The fans will demand that you always win and get star players.

Aside from having to respond to fans’ requests, you as a manager will also have to have good communication skills during press conferences. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time could lead to a PR disaster. It really pays off the play this game with an understanding of the culture of football, not just in general, but at the club, you manage.
Football Manager 2023

Like many annual series, Football Manager 2023 does often feel the same game from the previous years. That being said, they still added quite a few new bells and whistles that make the game feel fresh and lively. New features like the supporter profile and conferences will likely be the biggest additions for football fans and seem tailor-made for those that are interested in the culture of the sport. It adds to the realistic impression of the game which makes it more fun to play.
There are definitely some drawbacks to the title like the lack of atmosphere at champions but overall the game gives a fun and tonally consistent look into the life of a football manager that should keep sports fans excited for every new goal.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope Preview: Mario and Bowser Meet The Rabbids On The Moon

The Rabbid’s second crossover with the Mario franchise: Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hopes will be coming out this October and the developers at Ubisoft Paris and Milan have given us a preview of the new adventure.

According to the developers, the game is not exactly a direct sequel to Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle but more just another adventure in the Mario universe (which doesn’t exactly have the best continuity in the first place).

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

The plot involves an evil entity named Cursa who wants to steal a group of creatures called the Sparks for their untapped power. Mario and the gang, and The Rabbids have to stop her.
To this end, players will guide Mario and The Rabbids through a galaxy in big trouble, accompanied by a team of memorable characters with complete freedom to explore the different planets. Your ultimate goal is to help the inhabitants of each planet and save the Sparks who will be central to the story and gameplay.

The New Heroes – Bowser, Rabbid Rosalina, and Edge

Another exciting addition to the game is the three new playable characters that have been unveiled.
The first one is Rabbid Rosalina. She has a pretty different personality compared to her role model but that doesn’t stop her from making her enemies see stars.
Next up we have Edge, a mysterious Rabbid with a giant sword and a darker design who was initially revealed in the first trailer. We don’t know much about Edge but we’ll likely learn why he’s so edgy as the story unfolds.
The final and most interesting character to join Mario’s motley crew is his arch-nemesis, Bowser. Mario and Bowser have of course teamed up in the past and it’s led to some of the wittiest writing in the entire Mario franchise (seriously go check out some of the Paper Mario games). It’ll be fun seeing how this unlikely duo will interact once again.
Tactical Adventure Experience

The developers refer to the game as a ‘tactical adventure’ as it offers a unique combination of real-time action and turn-based strategy gameplay as the focus.
With Sparks of Hope, the combat system has been overhauled beyond what you usually see in a standard turn-based strategy game. They’ve removed the cursor and grid on the battlefield, so in each turn, you can move characters in real-time within a limited range before you attack. If you’ve ever played Valkyria Chronicles it’s kind of like that, except you’re shooting bunnies as Luigi instead.
Another major addition to the gameplay is The Sparks. You can harness their elemental power to further customize your playstyle while also opening a lot of tactical possibilities. For example, if you have a fire spark it’ll allow you to use fire powers and make you resistant to flames. There are a number of different options with them, whether as a support skill or dealing big damage.
 Every battle will yield EXP to the team and naturally, your characters can grow even stronger where you can also access Skill Tree to expand their capabilities including gaining new skills that are exclusive to them alone.
Exploring A New Galaxy

Aside from the new take on the gameplay, Sparks of Hope is also a lot more open when it comes to the level design.
Unlike Kingdom Battle where the gameplay loop had players jumping from one battle to another with minimal exploration, Sparks of Hope opens up the world with a deeper amount of exploration.
The game will take you to different planets with unique environments and inhabitants. There are a lot of things you can do on the world map like helping the many locals you come across and uncovering hidden secrets by completing side quests.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope seems to shoot for the stars and will likely deliver an exciting adventure for fans of both franchises. If you’d like to learn more about how this upcoming sequel came to be, check out our interview with its Lead Producer Xavier Manzanares.
The game will launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2022.

Diablo II: Resurrected Launch Review – It’s back into purgatory for you

Diablo II: Resurrected has made its way through alpha and beta testing stages, and has finally launched for the wider world for real. I found that I simply didn’t “vibe” with the PC controls for whatever reason, and opted to play on the Playstation instead. A modest PS4, mind you. It’s really easy to condense the review into “oh, it hasn’t changed all that much”, but for the sake of completion, here it is. You can read our alpha impressions here.

OPTIONS
As you might expect, the console version does not have rebindable hotkeys. I tried to fiddle with the large font option, but it didn’t seem to change anything. There’s not much in the way of accessibility besides the colourblind options for protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia, the intensity of which can be set with sliders instead of strict presets if you need it.

When it comes to character creation, the classes are all lined up for you to select, and are gender-locked. The selection is just slightly clunky on console due to needing to double confirm your selection. If there was supposed to be a pop-up with descriptions for them on the first press, it didn’t appear for me, so it just looked like they were flexing for some reason. Once you’ve picked your desired class, you can choose to be part of the ladder rankings, with or without permadeath, or include or exclude the expansion that’s bundled with the remastered version.

PRESENTATION
The cinematics can genuinely give it the feel of being a completely new title for someone who doesn’t know better. They’re quite beautifully done, and appear to have lost the performance issues it suffered in the beta. The subtitles have also been updated to include a slight background behind the text, but it still uses the title font instead of a regular Sans / Serif font. I really wish I could change this; I know that items in the world also utilize this font but consider this: the items are not moving.

My nitpicks are primarily for the interface. Like I mentioned, the Large Font toggle didn’t seem to do much, and the hotkeys look small comparatively to my screen. I’m unsure how much of this is because of my display itself, but as there are no sliders for UI size, I can’t fully try it out. These gripes aside, the graphics will satisfy “modern sensibilities”.
GAMEPLAY
Now with the full line-up of classes, I went straight to my Necromancer homie to embark on the tour of the skelebros. I didn’t attempt any online connectivity, but I have faith that any latency issues would be minimal. With the previous online beta, I was having noticeable stutters just simply being connected to the online chat, though performance issues back then were pretty understandable.
I did try out the Druid previously due to my propensity for summoner classes and the desire to do absolutely nothing, so I am glad that the Necromancer can start out with more permanently undead companions. I thought there’d be some kind of lock-on feature for console. It feels like it’s technically there, a “soft” lock-on as it were, but you do need some positioning or end up whiffing completely. Another slight annoyance is the attack button being the same as the pick up button, so just watch some items get flung around as I try to jab some creature to death.

Menuing is alright, the inventory management truly a hell of its own. The auto-sort works well enough, though I typically try to toss out things that I almost always accidentally pick up, maybe even multiple times. The horror. My skelebros get caught on the terrain every now and again, freaking out in the narrow space of a cave entrance, bless them. It’s funny to me how the story starts out with the shock, horror, of, I don’t know, demonic possession, undead, but I’m different. Thanks for understanding.
CLOSING WORDS
If you’ve always wanted to play Diablo 2 as closely to the original as possible but didn’t jive with the graphics, Diablo 2: Resurrected is a very easy recommendation. It’s got a fresh look for newer fans, while veterans can always choose the Legacy option for maximum nostalgia. The remaster did not take any “outrageous” risks besides optimizations and quality of life updates, so it’s a safe bet for you to grab it if you’ve been waiting.
Diablo II: Resurrected is be available digitally on 23 September 2021 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and Nintendo Switch.

The MSC 2018 tournament that was held in Jakarta on the 27th to 29th July 2018 had caused an uproar among Malaysians due to errors the organizers have made. Fans of AirAsia Saiyan, a Malaysian team, had made comments and protests against the organizers of the MSC 2018 tournament due to their negligence over their set of rules. It turns out, there were two separate rule books which were signed by AirAsia Saiyan and Aerowolf. But to know how that happened, let’s take a look at the MSC drama breakdown explained by Spartanic Entertainment:

Based on the breakdown, AirAsia Saiyan qualified to go to the semi-finals as they had a higher KDA that breaks the tie against Aerowolf based on the rule book and the contract they signed. In the case of a tie like these, KDA will be taken into account first and if in the case of another tie, head to head will be taken into account. However, there was a new rule book that was passed around to teams when the tournament was still running.
Below are the rules and regulations that were signed by AirAsia Saiyan:

Based on the rule book, the rule in the case of a tie has changed. Instead of taking KDA into account first, the team’s head to head will be taken into account first – which just makes Aerowolf qualify for the semi-finals instead. Note that this rule book was also issued ONLY AFTER AirAsia Saiyan won against DDPG. Of course, AirAsia Saiyan weren’t happy about it and confronted with the MSC Committee and got their spot in the semi-finals.
Here’s a post from the perspective of AirAsia Saiyan:

But that’s not the end of it, as Aerowolf seemed to really want to get into the semi-finals as well and didn’t want to take that loss. So Aerowolf together with Moonton AND RevivalTV had a discussion with AirAsia Saiyan and made a proposal – AirAsia Saiyan to have a rematch with Aerowolf and should AirAsia Saiyan refuse, they are disqualified from the tournament. This just left AirAsia Saiyan with no choice but to protest by pulling out from the tournament.
While that being said, RevivalTV has not released any official statement yet. Though this is a huge mistake made by RevivalTV, the organizer for this year’s MSC 2018, a mistake such as having two different rule books signed pretty much needs a really good justification. Fans from all over the world of the game and the tournament were disappointed with the organizers but we still hope that there’ll be an explanation on the whole fiasco.
However the official Mobile Legends: Bang Bang had released their side of the story, apologizing to MLBB and MSC fans:

Even the Malaysian Sports Minister, YB Syed Saddiq got involved!

As the issue went on to gain even more publicity, the Menteri Sukan Malaysia YB Syed Saddiq had also intervened in the issue. As seen in the Twitter post, Mariah Ahmad from Astro Awani – a supporter of eSports, had plead YB Syed Saddiq’s help to look into the case. Thanks to that, her plea was heard and YB Syed Saddiq will be looking into the case and will take the best course of action needed.
So tell us what are your thoughts on this case? With MLBB’s official statement posted up, we’re pretty much in-the-know now on what has transpired during the event. Do we still need to wait for RevivalTV’s official statement as well? Wonder how this case will proceed. Leave your comments down in the article if you have them! 😀
