Winter Veil returns to Hearthstone for festive season

The festive season is here and Winter Veil has returned to Hearthstone for another go. Starting from now until December 31, the event brings a new mode, questline and rewards for the festive season.

Returns and Exchanges
The Winter Veil event introduces a Returns and Exchanges mode exclusive for the festive season. The new mode features a much more fun and casual method of play compared to standard games. In this mode, players choose their hero and build their deck of 20 minions. Each deck will receive 10 random spell cards when the brawl begins.

When the match begins, each player will mulligan for an opening hand and then “gift” the rest of their deck to their opponents. This method can bring out some hilarious situations where the opponent receives a relatively bad deck. However, a catch exists when “gifting” the deck. Each player will only have 20 Health and receive a 5 mana Gift Receipt card upon exchange. When played, it refreshes a player’s mana crystals, swaps the deck again and destroys the opponent’s own Gift Receipt. Expect some strategies and plays around the card.
Winter Veil card back
Players who win in the mode will receive a Winter Veil card back as a reward.

Gift Exchange
The Gift Exchange mode returns to Hearthstone for the event. For those who do not know, players smash gift crates to discover cards for their own or opponent’s hero. This mode also rewards the Winter Veil card back. Owners of the card back will receive a Classic Pack instead.
Winter Veil Wonder Bundle

For the festive season, Hearthstone introduces a new Winter Veil Wonder Bundle. The bundle includes six packs from Journey to Un’Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, Kobolds & Catacombs, The Witchwood, and The Boomsday Project. In total, the bundle offers 30 packs at a special price. Unfortunately, players who hoped for Rastakhan’s Rumble pack will be disappointed. The pack will not feature in the bundle due to it being new in the game.

MARVEL Battle Lines – The Mobile TCG by Nexon Is Now Soft-Launched In Selected Countries!

MARVEL Battle Lines, the game that was announced by Nexon in collaboration with Marvel back in June 2018. With Dev Cat on board as well, they have created this mobile TCG consisting of popular Marvel heroes and villains. The game is now soft-launched in several countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia! However the game is only available in the Google Play Store.

As you might already know, the game is a TCG that will require players to build a deck of cards consisting of Marvel heroes. Using a turn-based battle system with a twist, players need to form lines on a 3×4 board to deal damage onto the Villain (kinda like Yu-Gi-Oh without the need to form lines).

Either forming lines of 3 or 4 or even 2 lines aligned in an X (3×3) or an L (4×3), you will deal damage to your opponents. Players can also move the card laid on the board to attack opponent’s card that’s laid on the board as well and take its place if it is defeated. Of course, one of a strategy is to block your opponents, but you risk your opponents killing off your card if not played correctly and timely.

Players start off with a generic deck but will later obtain a free Hawkeye (assuming everyone gets the same for the first card). As players progress further, players will be able to obtain cards through the campaign mode (Iron Man, DareDevil and so on) or buy a pack off the Shop with Gems or Gold (which is only open once you completed the tutorial – Campaign Stage 1-6).

Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

There are also other modes to play instead of the Campaign like the Battle Mode, where you can play against an A.I. to test your deck or Special Ops where you can farm the cards you want after completing the objectives which unlocks the auto-play. The Special Ops will be unlocked according to your Campaign progression so it is best to focus on that first.

The game is still in its testing phase and there have been reports from players of being unable to start the game after the update. However, I had no issues with that. The game played well on my OnePlus 3T and being an old player of devCAT’s Mabinogi Duel, MARVEL Battle Lines plays just fine and it can be a great game for TCG enthusiast or Marvel fans alike – like me!
For now there’s no news for iOS yet. Since it’s still not a global official launch, iOS users will have to wait until official launch date is announced.

Memoranda waltz its way into iOS

After much deliberation, adventure game Memoranda will be making its way to iOS after its debut on the PC. Set to be released sometime in June 2017, Memoranda will feature point-and-click gameplay telling the story of an amnesiac young woman. The game however poses a question – does she really have a problem remembering or is there something that is far more sinister at work?

As you traverse through the quiet little town which the game is set in, you discover a few other individuals like you. You will meet an assortment of characters, ranging from a WWII veteran to an elephant wishing it was human. Memoranda is inspired by various Haruki Murakami short stories featuring beautiful hand drawn 2D graphics. There are several thousands of lines of dialogue and a cast of 35 characters whom you will meet across 50 locations.

Black Stella: Inferno First Impressions – Mega Jank Multiplayer Arknights?

So, Black Stella: Inferno is a revival of a previously cancelled project. There’s no “nice” way to really put this: the game is janky at best. It’s a multiplayer game too, and I’m afraid the first impressions aren’t very good.

PRESENTATION
I really like the music. I was so absorbed in listening to the presumably jazz-leaning soundtrack that I didn’t notice people trying to get my attention. Unfortunately, I can’t extend similar immersion for much of how it looks.

The story isn’t fully voiced which isn’t that surprising. The characters’ 2D art is at the top of the screen, and the text scrolls downwards, as this is a vertical-play game. It does have a nice style, and I somewhat wish they stayed with the 2D art instead of making the move to 3D. They’re fine, all things considered. However, the characters just look so plain. I’ll get more into this as this is somewhat a game mechanic / system.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The UI feels both clean and cluttered, the latter I think it’s because of the vertical layout. Some of the text can be hard to read, and as is, I’m not the greatest at reading Japanese. The “combat” screen is fine, just that the models and latency is just not great.
All these words to say that overall, it’s kinda middling.
GAMEPLAY
I have no idea if it’s the game servers being funny or it’s designed that way, but I got thrown immediately into the necessary menus and then let loose. Like, I didn’t see any story, no idea if I had to make some selection besides entering my player name and boom! So much for speedrunning tutorials?

Units have a base level cap and don’t get EXP in battle so you will need to get the material to feed them. Parameters you can improve include their level cap, skill level, and plus marks (requiring shards from dupes). Additionally, you can unlock outfits for your characters. I’m assuming these have stats or different effects, since as far as I can guess, more outfit pieces are obtained from the gacha, when you get a higher base rarity version of a character.

The basic gameplay is you and 2 others team up to clear waves of enemies, so I got conned into playing not-Arknights for the second time this year. You bring up to 8 units to a team: 4 each for ground and high tiles. Naturally, each have their own skills and costs. Your pals can drop characters in their own time, but I’m honestly not sure if they have their own replenishing cost or you share one. The three of you can also choose to fire off skills in a combo, though god knows what it actually does, and it pauses the game to let others to use them.

As far as I can tell, it’s multiplayer only, and it’s just not good. Besides getting into a room, the lag and not very smooth controls – even if it’s just tap and place – does not make it enjoyable. The “solo” option is just you opening up a room and starting right away, but it’s not recommended as you won’t be able to afford units if you just drop your most powerful one immediately, with cost filling up somewhat slowly. If there’s a solo mode, it was not clear to me.

GACHA
At 3% base 3-star rates and a spark system at 200 pulls, it’s somewhat average. There’s an in-built reroll system too which does not appear to have a rigged result, so you can keep trying for at least one 5-star unit, which is the highest base rarity.

THOUGHTS
In its current state, I can’t recommend the game. It doesn’t feel great to play, and in trying to sell characters / their outfits, they don’t have a good first impression? I don’t know; it’s missing something, and uncharitable views could say that there was a reason the project was cancelled before.
At the very least, they’ve got really good music though.

Rap battle scenes are in the story, original to the game. The battle within the game differs from the CDs, so will run on different rules.
The player character is confirmed to be male, with his profile kept secret for now. Though the game is under the Otomate label, it will not contain any romance elements. The game was originally meant for a December 2019 release, but has been delayed to March 2020 for quality assurance reasons. Dates are still subject to change.

Along with the celebration, Hololive Productions have also set up a hashtag campaign over on Twitter to get some fan engagements and get the hype going for those who visit the MRT Station. The hashtag #holoIDSenayan was created to encourage fans to take a picture of the poster if they happen to come across the banner during their public transportation journey.
The poster features all of the Hololive Indonesian Talents starting from Gen 1 to the newest Gen 3 talents. Along with their respective pictures of the talents, their names and QR Code which I assume is to direct users to their respective Youtube Channels, are present on the poster.
It’s really cool to see how big of an influence the Vitual Youtuber culture had grown across these past few years for both in Indonesia as well as globally.

DESIGN
First off, as promised, the laptop is a really compact machine. The design is kept simple and minimalistic, with the full black metal chassis. The Razer branding is likewise kept more discreet, as discreet as the backlit logo on the lid as can be anyway. The metal used is CNC Aluminium, which makes the machine quite sturdy. It does come with the caveat that it’s very easy to leave your fingerprints on the case. Best remember to regularly clean this premium machine!

When it comes to the screen, them packing a 1440P, 165Hz matte display in a 14-inch laptop is quite an amazing feat. Where it shines is in its crisp and smooth visuals, and good contrast and colours. However, its base brightness is on the low side, nor does it have G-sync. The webcam above the screen has Windows Hello support, so security via facial biometrics is an option.

Moving down to the keyboard, it’s got your good ol’ per-key Razer Chroma RGB. It’s got a pretty short travel distance, and doesn’t have much feedback.

This kind of ‘lightness’ might not be to everyone’s tastes. Due to the heat coming off the laptop, this may be less of an issue if you’re opting to use an external keyboard regardless. What is good is the touchpad, providing a very smooth tracking experience. In fact, the touchpad alone stands to be one of the best ones we’ve had.
Ports wise, the new Razer Blade 14 comes with a respectable array of them, including 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, 1 HDMI 2.1, and 1 3.5mm jack. It doesn’t come with Thunderbolt as you might expect from an AMD machine, nor does it have a LAN port. Otherwise, its wireless options are Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) and Bluetooth 5.2.
GENERAL PERFORMANCE
As with typical gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 14 does not have the greatest battery life for, well, gaming. You can expect it to last just about an hour if you’re going to start gunning around, so definitely remember your charger. If you’re going to be working on the clock, the laptop will be able to last around 7 hours, so it’s a decent companion for the work from home.

Moving on to audio, you can see the two upward-facing speakers on either side of the keyboard. It allows for clear and loud output, so no worries about your media. Thanks to THX Spatial Audio, playing supported games means you can enjoy surround sound. In the case of Apex Legends, you can pick up your audio cues better to locate your enemies.

The Razer Blade 14 has a vapor chamber, which is meant to be more effective in cooling than heat pipes. However, the metal chassis may be one of the reasons why the keyboard feels warmer than is comfortable. The small size doesn’t help as there’s not much area to dissipate the heat.
BENCHMARKS
PC Mark

3D Mark

Cinebench R23

Last but not least is Razer Synapse, the one-stop companion software to customize your system settings including your CPU, GPU and others, alongside module installations like Razer Chroma Studio. Feel free to experiment with the settings yourself.
GAMING PERFORMANCE
Now, this is the main point of which you’re getting this laptop for. Packing a RTX 3080 GPU, you can expect it to provide top of the line gaming experience. For the best experience, 1080P should be hitting the mark well enough for both great visuals and smooth framerate. For reference, all the games below have been tested with performance boost mode on.
APEX LEGENDS
2K
1080P
On 2K settings, you can enjoy 125 FPS, if you so desire.
WATCH DOGS: LEGION
2K, RTX ON
2K, RTX OFF
2K resolution maintains a stable 60 FPS. However, with ray tracing on, the machine will start struggling and drops to 20 FPS.
ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA
2K
1080P
2K resolution lets it average at 55 FPS, fluctuating between 45 to 55 FPS in practice. In 1080P, you can expect an average between 55 to 70 FPS. Settings at max.
VERDICT
The Razer Blade 14 is definitely positioning itself to be the ultimate 14-inch laptop. If you have the coin to spare, this is assuredly one of the best lightweight travelling partners you can bring with you to suit both work and play. For Malaysians, you can get your own from RM9999 to RM12999, which you can check out online through Razer on Shopee. Do also check out the laptop itself on the official website too.
For both an understated yet powerful machine, the Razer Blade 14 will be one of the top contenders for a time yet.

Considering Epic likes to pay for timed exclusives, it makes sense that the latest chapter in the saga of Cloud Strife would find its way to Steam eventually.
That being said, don’t expect this to mean you’ll be trying it out next month or anything of the sort- the other Square Enix titles released exclusively on the store have yet to find their way to Valve’s platform just yet- these include Kingdom Hearts 3 as well as NEO: The World Ends WIth You.

Timed Exclusivity
Timed Exclusivity has basically been the calling card of the Epic Games Store’s modus operandi on PC. As has been previously reported, Epic spends large sums of money to get games to release on their platform “exclusively” for a period of time, only releasing on Steam months or even a whole year later.
While the deal can change between publishers, one reason the timed exclusivity deal works so well for Epic is their minimum sales guarantee- should your game not meet its projected sales numbers, its been said Epic will actually match those numbers in exchange for releasing exclusively on the smaller Epic Games platform.

Era of Legends is now out for Android devices

Era of Legends is a new mobile MMORPG that is now available for Android devices. As for the iOS version, it will only go live starting 26th March and the pre-registration is currently available on the App Store. For those who fancy the MMORPG genre, the graphics of the game look pretty decent with the addition of the unique “Magic Beasts”.

The storyline of Era of Legends takes place in Eminoor where the War of the Evil God began because of the dispute between the Mercenaries of the Four Kings and the Crusaders of Farinos. Meanwhile, Desert Glade began transforming into the home for the evil and the war also gave birth to too many split-up factions with different motives. A lot has happened since then and it is up to you to stop more blood from spilling and prevent Eminoor from falling into the hands of the evil.

In Era of Legends, you can create your character out of eight different classes that consist of warriors, assassins, priests, witches, druids, archers, mages and shamans. After that, you embark on a journey by venturing into an open world.

Along your journey, you will collect a variety of different equipments, skins and even pets which gives more customization options for your character. To do that, you will have to go on quests and treasure hunts. To make things even more interesting, the storyline has plenty of mysteries for you to solve along your journey.

If you want the game to be more challenging, you can go on raids and to dungeons where you will face off against tough monsters in exchange for more loot. There is also a PVP system in the game that features 3v3 and 5v5 online battles where you will get to face off against other players in numerous arenas.

What makes Era of Legends different from other mobile MMORPGs is the inclusion of the ability to cast “Magic Beasts”. Magic Beasts can be summoned by players to assist them in battles and with this unique gameplay, players can get to discover combinations and strategic options which can really benefit them in battles.

The game’s developer, 101XP was behind games such as Dragon Glory, Storm Riders and more so we expect this game to be as good as its other titles.For more information, you can visit their official website and Facebook Page.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The keynote, titled “Sparking the World’s Post-Pandemic Recovery”, demonstrated how technology can be a remarkable force for good that will be critical to the world’s recovery and create a more sustainable and secure future. The combination of computing in the age of AI will accelerate how we tackle complex challenges surrounding climate change, security, and equitable access to technologies and connectivity.

Segars indicated that long-term investments in research and development are the key to shaping that future. Arm has invested significant resources in its next-generation architecture. Armv9 will enable partners to solve hard problems in the next decade of compute related to security, compute efficiency, and AI-enabled services, all while fighting climate change at the same time.
Introducing The Armv9 Architecture
The official debut of Arm’s latest architecture titled Armv9 is an investment and research project that the company and its partners have poured in a whole decade that stands as a major upgrade to the brand’s processor architecture. It is designed with a focus on security and compute efficiency on top of the core optimization targeting ubiquitous and AI systems.
Using Confidential Compute To Keep You Safe
Security has always been a challenge since the beginning of the digital era and Arm is confident that Armv9 will be able to securely process data either at endpoints, data networks, or clouds to protect the interest of both industry partners and its clients. The Confidential Compute architecture in the Armv9 completely segregates memory regions for general and sensitive data or code to make sure only the appropriate security modules are allowed to process or carry these data but not view them.
A Greener Future Via The Neoverse N2
Arm has also acknowledged its role in fighting the climate crisis, with the Neoverse N2 platform. This allows the Armv9 architecture to maintain high output, but without consuming extraordinary amounts of power, hurting the environment.
According to Arm, you can even see up to 40% performance boost with the Neoverse N2 platform.
Arm’s vision in creating a better world through technology is supported by the company’s specialization in compute platform and ecosystem while NVIDIA’s superior AI prowess will consolidate into many innovative ideas where it will come to fruition and becoming practical for the world to apply and benefit from.
With all these solutions, Arm is set to take on not only the world we have now, but push the world to a greener, more efficient future.
Into The Future With Armv9 and Rene Haas

ARM IP President Rene Haas delivered a second keynote as well, wherein he touched on the acceleration of computing trends in technology. He also touches on the Armv9 architecture, and its role in the bright new future.

He starts off the topic with Arm’s involvement in supplying the world with solutions based on the company’s design and in the near future, all digitally shared data will be securely processed, transmitted, and stored from the start until the finish line. Aside from recapping the Armv9’s major architecture and features from the 1st keynote, he also shared the new era of computing is approaching where AI and ML will be the key to every compute environment enabled by specialized processing in which Armv9 is designed to do so from the beginning where he used the flagship Cortex-X2 as an example that brings high CPU and GPU performance while raising the longevity of battery life, a next-generation improvement if you will.
Contributing to specialized processing also requires the software part to be optimized, dynamic, and richer than before. Therefore, Haas introduced the Total Compute solutions that span across tools, IPs, and applications that help partners to develop mature products from the more consumer TV, smartphones, and laptops down to industry use HPC, cloud computing, etc. He also elaborated on the recent announcement of NVIDIA’s Grace CPU that is fully dedicated to AI and ML usage alongside several HPC developer kits.
Lastly, Haas rounded up everything in a simple message: No devices should be left behind, even the smaller and cost-sensitive components can be made smarter and more capable to serve all data at the closest proximity and Armv9 is the key to unlocking the limitless potential of AI and ML.

On the other hand, the newly announced Professional NM800 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD takes the storage game to the maximum that utilizes PCIe 4.0 to achieve a maximum speed of 7.40GB/s reads and 5.8GB/s writes. It is made to target high-profile file access, editing and moving use cases such as editing 8K videos.

PNY
PNY showed off their new XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB DDR4 RAM kit, bringing more power to your PC builds when the device becomes available. They also showed off technology targeted at Chia farmers, to help with their storage solutions.

Armed with CAS latency of 18 at 1.35V, both Intel and AMD platforms are able to utilize these high frequency RAMs of either 3200MHz, 3600MHz and 4000MHz with more through XMP 2.0 profiles while staying stylish through the radiant dual-sided 5×2 configuration of RGB LEDs and frosted light guide lens. . Equipped with RGB compatibility across brands like ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI and ASRock, adjusting them to fit your rig’s theme is just as easy.
No price or availability was announced for it, however, so stay tuned for future announcements.

PNY also showed off their products to help Chia farmers, who require their own storage solutions for managing their produce.
To this end, PNY also revealed a brand new ‘Green Miracle’ bundle that includes one PCIe 4.0 XLR8 CS3040 NVMe drive with 3,600 TBW endurance, 5.6GB/s reads and 4.3GB/s writes for plotting and a pair of 16GBx2 DDR4 2666MHz RAM kit to enable both newly-entry and experienced farmers expanding their own Chia field at a relatively valuable price point.
SAPPHIRE
As AMD’s exclusive board partner, SAPPHIRE brings new offerings to the table, with the new Nitro+ series of GPUs.
SAPPHIRE Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Special Edition GPU (RM7700 – RM8000)

In contrast to the TOXIC lineup that comes with an All-in-One water-cooling solution, the Nitro+ series is among the best in the brand’s mainstream air-cooling offerings. Now boasting an even higher 2365MHz boost clock compared to the standard edition’s 2285MHz, SAPPHIRE is no doubt skilled in pushing the Special Edition GPU to the limit while keeping the core numbers the same at 5120 stream processors, 80 Ray Tracing accelerators, and 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
While the standard dual 8-pin configuration has been retained, now there is an extra 6-pin that provides an additional 75W for better overclocking stability. Succeeding the RX 6900 XT’s strategy of catering to a wide range of gamers, 2 versions of the RX 6900 XT SE are also made available with one equipped with 1 HDMI 2.1 and 3 DisplayPort 1.4 port while the other has 1 HDMI 2.1, 2 DisplayPort 1.4 and 1 USB-C Display port.
PALIT and Gainward
As Team Green’s exclusive board partners, PALIT showed off the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Tis, providing a nice middle point between the 3080 and 3090 GPUs.

For starters, the CUDA core count of the RTX 3080 Ti is at 10240 versus the 10496 of RTX 3090 and 8704 of RTX 3080 where the RTX 3080 Ti is approaching closely to the RTX 3090 so we should be seeing only slight differences in the 1440p and 4K gaming area where the VRAM capacity should have less overall impact. Following up the VRAM topic, Palit has hinted 12GB can be found in the RTX 3080 Ti while the RTX 3070 Ti has a total of 8GB, both in GDDR6X. Speaking of RTX, we are also expecting the RTX 3080 Ti’s 2nd generation RT Core and 3rd generation Tensor Core count touching the boundaries of the RTX 3090 thus providing all the NVIDIA RTX technology goodness like Broadcast, Studio, Voice with all settings cranked to the maximum. On the other hand, the RTX 3070 Ti fills the gap of being the “above-average” kid where it can do what the base RTX 3080 does but at a slightly lower performance level.

For the assortment of models and variants, Palit will be introducing the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GameRock and RTX 3070 Ti GamingPro under the original branding whereas its other sub-brand Gainward will be having the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Phoenix and RTX 3070 Ti Phoenix. The company will reveal more information to the public very soon so stay tuned to us for the latest news about them.

Nikke Announces Upcoming Bunny X 777 Event

With the Half-Anniversary Over Zone event ending later this week on 4:59:59 May 18, 2023 (UTC+9), Goddess of Victory: Nikke has announced its newest upcoming event titled, “Bunny X 777”.

The event will feature Nikkes called Blanc and Noir, twins that are clad in bunny outfits who made their appearance in Chapter 22 of the main story. This time however, their event story seems to be a more lighthearted one when compared to the Over Zone event, as it has Noir being terrified at the idea of kissing strangers who win an event at Coin Rush. This prompts the twins to make a desperate plea for the Commander to participate and save Noir from her predicament.

The twins are easily distinguished from one another through their design, which includes the color of their clothes and the weapon that they wield. Blanc is wearing white and uses an Assault Rifle, while Noir is the one in black with a Shotgun.
As of time of writing, Blanc is the only one so far that was officially announced to be a recruitable Nikke, while Noir was not mentioned to be a recruitable Nikke. However given the fact that additional information about her has been released such as her weapon type and Manufacturer, it can be reasonably assumed that the information is likely to come soon.

While there is no official announcement on the start date of the Bunny X 777 event, it is safe to reasonably assume that the event will start the soonest the Over Zone event ends.

Going by the promotional art, the Persona 5 Royal cast chosen to be part of Alchemy Stars will be Joker (protagonist), Mona (Morgana), Violet (Kasumi Yoshizawa), Fox (Yusuke Kitagawa) and Queen (Makoto Nijima). With the Dragon Maid collaboration, the game didn’t really have a crossover story featuring the two disparate casts interacting with each other, so we’ll have to see if it will change for this. Likewise, we should stay tuned if the other Persona 5 Royal characters could still appear, even if not in a playable capacity.

HUAWEI Mate 10 Review – a superior flagship smartphone

Announced last month, HUAWEI Mate 10 series is one of the most-awaited flagships to most of the smartphone fans out there. Shortly after its launch in Malaysia, we are lucky to be given a chance to test the Mate 10 so here is our HUAWEI Mate 10 Pro review!

What is in the box
The HUAWEI Mate 10 package comes in a big square box with the most basic items – the phone itself, a pair of earphones, the charger, USB-C cable, a phone case and the Quick Start Guide.

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

The model we get is in an elegantly-looking Champagne Gold. The front design is all about the stunning big and QHD display which measures 5-9 inch with 16:9 aspect ratio (bigger screen = clearer games!). On the other side, the rear is having a robust glass casing featuring a gold stripe highlighting the dual lens cameras.

Unlike most of the flagships in the market now, Mate 10 still equip a headphone jack (3.5mm) and microSD slot. This comes in handy especially to those who don’t want to invest their money in buying adapters or wireless headsets. Also, the phone might look big (and fat) but it is actually comfortable to hold as it would fit in the palm well.

Mate 10 Specifications:

Size: 150.5 x 77.8 x 8.2 mm
Weight: about 186 g
Color: Mocha Brown, Black, Champagne Gold
Display: 5.9″ HUAWEI FullView LCD Display with 16:9 aspect ratio
Resolution: 2560 x 1440 pixels
CPU: HUAWEI Kirin 970 Octa-core processor
OS: Android Oreo 8.0
Memory: 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM (support up to 256GB with Micro SD card)
Camera:

8MP Front Camera
20MP Monochrome + 12MP RGB Rear Camera

Battery: 4000mAh
EMUI: EMUI 8.0

Display and Camera
Comparing to other flagships that use OLED display, Mate 10 ‘s LCD display feels a bit off in the quality. However, the QHD display still looks great with punchy colours and in terms of surface area, Mate 10‘s 5.9 inches display with 16:9 aspect ratio is actually even bigger than Mate 10 Pro‘s display (6 inches with 18:9 aspect ratio).
image credits to ubergizmo
Mate 1o equips 20MP Monochrome + 12MP RGB camera on the rear, while the front carries a decent 8MP camera. Featuring the new Leica Dual Lens with f/1.6 aperture, Mate 10 enables you to take beautiful and crystal-clear pictures even in low-light conditions. The autofocus time is improved too (thanks to the powerful AI processor) and you could evoke a professional bokeh effect easily.
Performance and Battery Life
HUAWEI Mate 10 series is the first HUAWEI smartphone series to equip the world’s first AI processor – Kirin 970, making it one of the most powerful handsets in the market. From what I observed, the phone is able to load games extremely quick and seamlessly. The same result goes for multiple tasks handling, which all of the processes runs perfectly without any glitches.

Coupled with smart battery management, the 4000 mAh battery in Mate 10 offers a long-lasting battery life. You could easily use the phone for work or for entertainment without charging through to the end of a day.
For the memory aspect, Mate 10 features 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM which is quite average for most of the high-end smartphones. If 64 GB internal storage sounds not enough for you, no worries as you could expand its storage up to 256GB by adding a microSD card.
Conclusion
Featuring all the high-end features such as powerful CPU, long-lasting battery and the brilliant cameras, HUAWEI Mate 10 is a worthy choice compared to some of the super-expensive flagships. Not to mention the retained headphone jack as one of the plus points.

However, as a flagship, it is quite disappointed that Mate 10 doesn’t support wireless charging. There is no water-proof ability too so if these are your deal breakers, you should look somewhere else.
Priced at €699 (RM2, 699), HUAWEI Mate 10 is available in 3 colours – Black, Mocha Brown and Champagne Gold. It is now buyable at most Huawei retail stores now, you can also visit their official website for more information.

Snake Eater is the earliest chronological entry in the Metal Gear timeline. Taking place during The Cold War, it sees the US operative Naked Snake, the man who will one day become Big Boss, infiltrate Russia to learn about a deadly new weapon called the Shagohod.
Released in 2004 for the PS2, the original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is often seen as one of the best games in the series. It features a great plot that pays homage to classic James Bond-style spy thrillers, loveable characters, and innovative new stealth and survival mechanics. You do actually get to eat snakes in this game, as well as crocodiles and tree frogs.

Further details about the Metal Gear Snake Eater remake have not been revealed. The Metal Gear Solid Master Collection however will reportedly release in the Autumn of 2023.
There’s no confirmation of this but the fact that The Master Collection is labeled “Volume 1” gives me hope that there will be a Volume 2 which will include Metal Gear Solid 4, a game that has been stuck on the PS3 for over 15 years.
Go to top
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater will be available for PS5. It has not been confirmed if the game will launch on other consoles.
Update: It has now been confirmed that the Snake Eater Remake will also be coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC.

In the World Arena, players will be able to choose between the Ranking Battle or the Goodwill Battle. The Ranking Battle allows players to match with other similar leveled players at random while the Goodwill Battle allows players to play against their friends or their Guild members. The Ranking Battle runs on a seasonal basis which lasts for 3 months per season. Of course there will be rewards given out after each season. Players can also earn Medals after winning in the World Arena which can be used to exchange for various items.

One of the new features that came along with the update is the Replay Feature where players can watch and share their gameplay for a strategic discussion. With the new Rune Appraisal System added as well, players will be able to change the sub-properties of their Runes into different sub-properties.
Now that the game has set a PvP platform on a global scale, Summoners War is seen to be keen on coming into the competitive scene. Maybe there will be a competition going on soon with a prize pool in the future? I think it’s possible.

UPDATE – Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile listing removed from playtesting service

The listing for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile has been removed as PlaytestCloud insists that the title was not added by the developers. Previously, journalist and industry insider Tom Henderson tweeted the apparent leak:

PlaytestCloud is a platform that allows mobile game developers to playtest their games before release. In a follow-up tweet, Henderson revealed that PlaytestCloud listed the game on its database based on an assumption, and not because Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is actually undergoing playtesting.

While this is obviously not concrete proof that Warzone Mobile is coming, Henderson is certain that the game will release in 2022. Considering that Activision did state previously that a triple-A Call of Duty title is coming to mobile, it does seem possible. After all, with how much revenue other mobile battle royale games like PUBG and Fortnite are making, it definitely appears to be a sound decision for Activision to port the successful shooter to mobile.
UPDATE – 16/12/2021: PlaytestCloud has reached out to us with the following response:

This was a false alarm, the list of games in our signup form has no connection to any games tested on PlaytestCloud. Additionally, as this game hasn’t been confirmed to exist yet, we’ve removed it from the database. The ‘PlaytestCloud database’ is a public list of 104722 mobile, PC and console games that appears in our signup form. This data is mainly based on articles, App Store / Play Store charts, plus some games we sometimes (and in this case mistakenly) add manually. While we would love to say that all 100k games have been tested with PlaytestCloud, this list and our customer list have no connection.

While we’re also eagerly awaiting future Call of Duty games, we truly don’t have any information about upcoming titles.

Only time will tell if Warzone Mobile will arrive next year, or later.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4. Recently, with the release of the series’ mainline title, Call of Duty: Vanguard, the game was also integrated with Warzone. Last week, the series doubled-down cheaters and hackers in both games by implementing its proprietary anti-cheat tool.
