Koei Tecmo’s Ruby Party Otome Games Could Be Localized for the West in the Future

1 year 11 months ago

Koei Tecmo has been localizing most of its games in the west for a long time, but there has always been a big exception, Ruby Party.

Ruby Party is a brand of Otome Games, usually visual novels designed for an audience of ladies in which a young and charming female protagonist engages in romance and adventure alongside a cast of handsome boys or men.

Twinfinite recently talked with head of Ruby Party Mei Erikawa during an interview dedicated to Touken Ranbu Warriors, and we asked her whether it’s finally time for her brand’s games to be localized in English for the west. Her answer was very promising.

As Ruby Party, we started to localize our games for overseas markets much later than the other brands at Koei Tecmo, so we had a late start.

A couple of years ago, we started expanding with some of our games in Asia, localizing them in Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and we found that there was a market there. 

The next step for us is definitely to hit the western English-speaking markets, and we do want to be able to release our titles globally. 

I think that in the future there is the potential for Ruby Party games to come out in English and I do think Touken Ranbu Warriors is helping to open the path for that.

We also asked Erikawa-san which Ruby Party game she would personally like to see released in the west, and she brought up Angelique Luminarise (portrayed above), which was launched in Japan in 2021 for Nintendo Switch. It’s part of a popular and long-running series that debuted all the way back in 1994 on the Super Famicom.

Finnish First-Person Survival Adventure Among the Trolls Trailer Revealed

1 year 11 months ago

Today, during the 505 Games showcase, a brand new trailer for the upcoming first-person survival adventure game, Among the Trolls, was revealed. Developed by Finnish indie studio Forbidden Studios, the game places you in the shoes of an American that is looking to uncover the strange mysteries of the forests that exist near their grandparent’s home in Finland.

You can check out the trailer and a description of the game below.

Among the Trolls is a first-person, survival, action-adventure game where the strange mysteries of Finnish forests are unraveled.

You play as either Alex or Anna, who travelled from the U.S. to Finland to visit their grandparents, living in an isolated cabin located among the towering trees. When you find that the cabin has been abandoned and your grandparents have vanished, you are pulled into a world of Nordic mythology and memories of childhood summers spent with your loved ones.

Embark on a quest to find your missing grandparents and learn how to survive in the wilderness, dealing with the supernatural creatures of Finnish mythology and the animistic nature of the world. Follow in your grandfather’s footsteps and discover the rune-singer within.

Break free from society and get lost in the woods — among the trolls.

Touken Ranbu Warriors Interview: Developers Discuss the Brand New Musou Game, Ruby Party, & More

1 year 11 months ago

Touken Ranbu Warriors is getting close to its release in the west, bringing the popular Touken Ranbu franchise to the big screen.

It’s also a rare case in which a game in which Koei Tecmo’s otome franchise Ruby Party is involved is localized in the west, albeit this may change as you’ll read below.

In order to read more about this interesting project, Twinfinite sat down with general producer and head of Ruby Party Mei Erikawa, producer and head of Omega Force Tomohiko Sho, and director Osamu Mieda.

Giuseppe: What prompted the idea of creating a Warriors game dedicated to the Touken Ranbu franchise?

Mei Erikawa: At Ruby Party we found Touken Ranbu Online to be a very interesting and attractive game, so we went to NitroPlus with the proposal of creating an adventure game (Editor’s note: in Japan “adventure game” is what we call a visual novel in the west) based on Touken Ranbu Online.

Yet, at that meeting, NitroPlus came up with a counterproposal, saying that if we had to collaborate, why not do a Warriors game?

It also just happened to be around the time when a Japanese magazine had done a survey asking what franchise people would like to see collaborate with the Warriors series. Touken Ranbu ranked at the top. 

All these separate elements fell into place and we saw it as a great opportunity and I also agreed that it would have been amazing to do a collaboration between the Warriors franchise and Touken Ranbu to create something great. That’s how the project started.

For All Mankind Season 3 Trailer Plots a Course for Mars

1 year 11 months ago

Late yesterday, Sony Pictures Television and Apple debuted a brand-new trailer for the third season of their sci-fi drama series, For All Mankind. Scheduled to arrive exclusively on Apple TV+ on June 10, the upcoming show will shift its focus from the moon to the red planet, Mars.

Go ahead and check out the new emotionally charged trailer for the third season of For All Mankind down below:

Blending an alternate reality setting where the Soviet Union won the space race instead of the US with grounded sci-fi, For All Mankind is compelling viewing, especially for those hankering for a chin-strokingly plausible dose of, well, sci-facts.

Not only does it feature historical figures like Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in its story, but it was also co-created by Ronald D. Moore — aka the mind behind Battlestar Galactica.

For more information, here’s an official rundown courtesy of Apple TV+:

Over two decades after the Moon landing, there’s a new battle to face— Mars. For All Mankind Season 3 premieres June 10 on Apple TV+.

Fortnite 20.40 Update Adds Sideways Weapons & Hints at End of Season Event

1 year 11 months ago

Epic Games has just dropped the Fortnite 20.40 update, which brings back the Sideways Showdown week, kicks off the Funding Station battle between Shield Bubbles and Balloons, and even provides some hints at what the end of season event may entail.

The majority of the contents of the update are detailed in the official blog post on the Fortnite website. Here, we learn that the Sideways Showdown week will see the return of the Sideways weapons from now until May 24, 2022 at 8:59am ET. The two Sideways weapons are the Sideways Rifle and Sideways Minigun, and both of these can be upgraded without the use of Cube Monster parts this time around. Players can take them to an Upgrade Bench and spend their Gold Bars to make them more powerful.

To help players level up their Battle Pass further, the Sideways Showdown week also comes with its own set of quests for players to complete, which will end on May 24 at 8:59am ET when they’ll be replaced with a new set of ‘themed’ quests.

The patch notes also announced the start of the Shield Bubbles vs Balloons battle at Funding Stations found across the map. Following a trial period, for the past few days, players will now need to spend Gold Bars to help fully fund one item type over the other. Whichever item reaches 100% funded status first will be permanently unvaulted.

Fortnite’s 20.40 update also makes a permanent change to the Zero Build mode — the one without the building mechanic. The drop rate of Shockwave Grenades, Rift-to-Gos and Cow Catchers will remain increased indefinitely, following a successful period of increase droprates to coincide with the trickshot unvaults last week.

Genshin Impact: Screenshot Folder Location

1 year 11 months ago

The open-world of Teyvat is as big as it is gorgeous, which means you’re probably going to spend a fair bit of time taking pictures of your adventure along the way. But for those playing on PC, actually finding the screenshot folder location for Genshin Impact can be a bit of a challenge. Luckily, we’re here to put you on the right (file) path.

Where the Screenshot Folder Location Is in Genshin Impact

Like many modern video games, Genshin Impact has a photo mode that allows players to take pictures and edit them with different effects. As we’ve explained in our dedicated photo mode guide, accessing the mode is done from the main menu and so if you’re wondering how to see Genshin screenshots then here’s what you need to know.

After you’ve snapped a picture, you can obviously just press “Print Screen” on your keyboard to take a picture. But there’s also a dedicated “Take Photo” button that saves them to a dedicated folder on your PC.

So where on earth is that folder? Well, we’ve done a bit of digging in the game’s File and discovered their whereabouts. Here’s the file path, which you should be able to just copy into explorer and locate:

C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\ScreenShot

Note that the above will only work if you have installed the game to your C drive. If you have multiple HDDs and you know that Genshin Impact is installed on, say, the D drive, then simply swap out the letters in file path listed above.

Predator Prequel Prey Gets Its First Teaser Trailer, Launches on August 5

1 year 11 months ago

Late yesterday, 20th Century Studios debuted the first teaser trailer for its upcoming Predator prequel, Prey. Accompanying the new footage was also a concrete release date. Yes, the much-anticipated sci-fi film is locked in for an August 5 launch exclusively on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK.

Feel free to take gander at the brand-new Prey trailer down below:

As you can see above, the story centers on a Comanche warrior who is pitted against the iconic extraterrestrial species in an 18th century setting. Interestingly, Prey aims to shed light on the first ever visit to Earth from the trophy-obsessed hunters. Of course, the lack of modern firepower may prove to be a challenge, but the native tribes appear to have a few handy tricks up their sleeve.

Helmed by 10 Cloverfield Lane‘s Dan Trachtenberg, and starring Legion’s Amber Midthunder, Prey attempts to buck traditional “gender norms” by placing the spotlight on a sole female survivor who must go toe-to-toe with one of cinema’s most deadly sci-fi monsters.

Previously titled Skulls, Prey was originally going to be marketed with no reference to the titular space hunters, but the studio changed its mind during production.

Best Warhammer 40K Games

1 year 11 months ago

The grim, dark universe of Warhammer 40k is enormous and impressively detailed. The tabletop game began all the way back in 1987, and since then, there have been many video game adaptations.

Being so vast, the 40k universe translates to games really well, and in particular, strategy and tactics-style games are a great fit for the setting. But, there are a bunch of mediocre titles out there as well, and sometimes it can be hard to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Let’s take a look at some of the best Warhammer 40k games available today, presented in no particular order, drawing from titles released over the last three decades.

Games that test your strategic acumen have been a mainstay of gaming culture, and we have had a few of these gems in recent times, most notably with Triangle Strategy.

What Does Dattebayo Mean in Naruto?

1 year 11 months ago

Naruto is one of the best-selling and most beloved manga and anime series, for newcomers and veterans alike. As is often the case with Japanese cultural imports to the West, sometimes meaning gets lost in translation, and Naruto’s catchphrase “dattebayo” is no exception. Let’s take a look at just what dattebayo means in Naruto.

Naruto’s Catchphrase Dattebayo Meaning

As any individual of great taste and refinement who prefers to watch their anime in its native Japanese will tell you, certain words and phrases will particularly stand out to English speakers.

Baka (stupid, foolish) is a classic example, and nani (what?) is another. These words stand out due to the frequency of their use in various anime, and the intonation with which they are oftentimes delivered, particularly in shonen style anime like Naruto.

Dattebayo (だってばよ) was originally translated to English as “Believe it!”, and became something of a catchphrase for Naruto during the early seasons of the anime, often being used as an exclamation by the titular character.

Later, dattebayo would be translated more simply as “ya know”, and would be used more casually in conversation.

It should be noted, however, that dattebayo has no direct English equivalent, and to this day remains somewhat divisive amongst translators.

The generally agreed-upon meaning, though, is that dattebayo is an informal statement that is used to indicate that the speaker is very clear about what they are saying.

How Spirit Points Work in Evil Dead The Game (& How to Get Them)

1 year 11 months ago

Evil Dead: The Game has just been released for PC and consoles, and it allows players to either step into the shoes of a survivor or the Kandarian Demon in its hectic 4v1 multiplayer mode. There are three different Demons available right now, as well as a rather huge roster of survivors that you can play as, and they all need to be leveled up individually. Here’s a breakdown of how the Spirit Points work in Evil Dead: The Game, and how you can farm them efficiently.

What Spirit Points Do in Evil Dead The Game

Think of Spirit Points as a form of skill points for each of your characters. As you play more matches with a specific Demon or survivor, you’ll rack up experience for them and their character level will slowly increase. Each time they level up, you’ll gain one Spirit Point, which you can then use to unlock skills that will make them stronger.

  1. Play matches with a survivor or a Demon.

  2. Once your character has leveled up, back out to the main menu and select Collection.

Soul Hackers 2 for PS5, PS4, Xbox, & PC Gets New Trailer Revealing Arahabaki

1 year 11 months ago

Today Atlus released another of its daily trailers for its upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2, showing one of the demons appearing in the game.

This time around, we get a look at Arahabaki, a demon that has debuted a long time ago close to the beginning of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and has also recently appeared in Shin Megami Tensei V.

As usual, the trailer also includes the daily horoscope, which places Pisces at the top of the fortune ranking and Capricorn at the very bottom. Looks like it’s my unlucky day.

Soul Hackers 2 releases for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam and Windows Store) on August 26, just one day after the Japanese launch on August 25.

The Boys Season 3 Looks Just as Bloody & Messy as Ever, Premiering in June

1 year 11 months ago

The Boys might be Amazon’s biggest TV series yet, so it’s no surprise that the show quickly got renewed for a third season. Fans won’t have to wait too long for season 3, as Prime has just dropped a new trailer, along with a release date of June 3.

You can check out the new trailer down below:

Here’s a brief synopsis and rundown of the story so far:

“It’s been a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into The Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy. Season 3 arrives June 3rd, only on Prime Video.”

We also get a good look of Homelander, who’s clearly still set to play a big role in the story despite having been dealt with in the previous season. Considering the fact that he’s easily the most fascinating character in the entire series, it’s exciting to see him in action again.

The Boys Season 3 is set to premiere on Prime Video on June 3.

War of the Visions to Get Replayable Event Quests & New UR Unit Resnick this Week; +6 Equipment Coming in Future Update

1 year 11 months ago

War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is getting a pretty hefty update this week, with quite a few things to look forward to. The big headlining feature here is the addition of Resnick, a new lightning UR unit who specializes in supporting and healing her party.

This is a pretty big deal, especially since the lightning element in the game has been in dire need of a dedicated support character for a while. It has plenty of good DPS characters like Cloud, Esther, Ibara, and the newly released Queen, as well as a good tank in Charlotte, but no proper healers. Resnick is looking to change that, and she could be a good cost 90 unit to consider if you’re a lightning main.

More general changes include the addition of the Farplane Archives, which should prove to be a very nice inclusion for most players. This function will allow players to replay event quests that are not active, which is definitely a huge benefit for those of us who can’t keep up with every event that releases in the game. There will also be other quality-of-life changes, such as more party slots to allow players to experiment with different unit formations.

Looking further ahead, Gumi has also confirmed that +6 equipment and gear is on the horizon. At the moment, War of the Visions only lets you craft gear up to the +5 level, but with a new tier coming up, players will be able to get even more out of their existing equipment.

War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is now available on mobile devices.

Final Fantasy XI Turns 20 Today; Here’s How Square Enix is Honoring the Anniversary

1 year 11 months ago

Square Enix’s first foray into the MMORPG space, Final Fantasy XI, has turned 20 today. Way back in 2002, adventurers stumbled into the world of Vana’diel with very little direction. No quest markers and only a simple story to work through with not much in the way of guidance on how to progress it. While nowadays, that wouldn’t fly for all but the most hardcore of MMORPG fans, back then it was still revolutionary. The fact that you could take up arms as a classic Final Fantasy job and group up with other people online, on your PS2 even, was more than many people back then could ask for.

Square Enix has been celebrating 20 years of Final Fantasy XI all year with the release of the We Are Vana’diel website back in July of 2021. In the months that have followed, the developers have conducted many interviews discussing Final Fantasy XI and have shared behind-the-scenes art and developer commentary about iconic moments in the game’s history. Last week, for the Japanese audience, Square Enix also did an over five-hour-long livestream dedicated to going down memory lane with key members of the original development team, including the original producer, Hiromichi Tanaka.

As far as in-game content is concerned, the current producer Akihiko Matsui, wrote a letter to fans expressing his wish to continue to improve and add to the game, quelling any rumors that Final Fantasy XI will be shutting down any time soon. He also confirmed a few major content additions that are on the way:

Call of Duty: Warzone Operation Monarch Adds a Fun, Playable Movie Experience

1 year 11 months ago

I’ve played my fair share of Call of Duty games, but nothing is like the experience of playing Call of Duty: Warzone Operation Monarch. I’ve been hyped for it since the release of the trailer and the confirmation of its arrival. Diving into this exclusive event and seeing the Titans causing havoc, made it feel like I was in both the King Kong and Godzilla films.

There is a sense of thrill and excitement when you hear Godzilla’s roar and see the land around you shake as King Kong jumps from place to place. Their movies are amazing to watch, but to be able to actually be stuck on an island while the two of them show their true powers is what makes this such a fun event.

How Close Is Unreal Engine 5 to Real Life?

1 year 11 months ago

Gaming has come a long way from its early disjointed-looking 8-bit days and has matured in more ways than one. However, one thing that every developer focuses on is realism to better immerse players. With Epic Games finally making Unreal Engine 5 available for all, a question among most fans is how close is Unreal Engine 5 to real life?

This question holds especially true in this day and age since most casual gamers are looking for the best graphical fidelity and want their games to look and feel as realistic as possible. Unreal Engine 5 is the successor to Unreal Engine and strives to bring an unmatched level of realism to games using technologies like Lumen and others.

Is Unreal Engine 5 Capable of Creating Real Life Like Worlds?

Before we go on to answer this question let’s understand what a real-life-like world in games means and why it’s important for games and gamers alike. In its most basic form, a real-life-like world in games simply implies that the game world should look, feel and behave similarly to how the world around us does.

That means the physics, crowd, lighting, sound and other aspects of the game world should match and in some cases even be better than its real-life counterpart. Why is it important, you ask? Well, for starters, this will ensure immersion and make players feel as if everything they do feels authentic for the most part.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story Review – Full Murder Video

1 year 11 months ago

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story on PlayStation 5

Japanese mystery games aren’t a new concept. Though, they typically play out as a visual novel like the Danganronpa and Zero Escape games. This time around we’re getting the detective work through the lens of an FMV (Full Motion Video) game and its still very fitting. If you’re a fan of detective films, there’s plenty to like here.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story starts with mystery novelist Haruka Kagami being approached by her science consultant and friend about coming to his family’s estate under the guise of writing a feature story about their cherry blossom ceremony. However, what he really wants her to look into is “the so-called Fruit of Youth that’s been passed down for generations in my family…and a recently unearthed skeleton.” To call this simple family drama is an understatement.

If you are new to the anime or confused about which certain OVAs (Original video animation) or movies fit into the storyline, here is how to watch Haikyuu! in order. Keep in mind that some of the show’s OVAs are optional and generally provide more side story content; while the movies combine episodes together to create a filmic experience for fans that want to binge-watch whole seasons.

  2. Lev Appears! (OVA)
  3. Haikyuu! Season 2
  4. VS Failing Marks (OVA)

The OVAs including Lev Appears!, VS Failing Marks, and Special Feature! The Spring Tournament of Their Youth are more in-depth stories that aren’t necessarily essential to watch; they’re meant to be episodes for further clarification on certain events or side characters.

Apex Legends Mobile Review – Spotting the Differences

2 years ago

Apex Legends Mobile on iOS

Apex Legends Mobile is, thankfully, better than just a carbon copy of the PC and console versions of the game. It offers more than what a smaller, more portable version of Apex Legends would — the game has its own separate identity with exclusive content that should pique the interest of existing players, giving them a reason to pick it up and try it out. Though, my iPhone 8 did struggle to run the game at certain points, so quality may vary depending on your mobile device.

The Apex world and lore stay the same here, so the main differences come from gameplay options and the slight adjustments in how content like the battle pass and ranked seasons work.

Even the tutorial is unique in that Mirage leads you through the specific basics of mobile gameplay as opposed to learning the ropes with Bloodhound and Pathfinder, which is appreciated since controller support isn’t arriving until sometime after launch.

This mobile-specific tutorial is also a positive for someone like me who has little experience playing FPS games on my phone, even though I’ve played every single season of Apex Legends to date. I never would’ve known that there’s a new third-person option, for example — let alone how to enable and use it.
