Valorant Film? Genshin Impact Censorship, LoL Jhin Gacha Skin, Rainbow 6 Mobile, Netflix and more

In our recent gaming podcast, Filipino gamers discuss about the potential Valorant Film, Genshin Impact Censorship, Rainbow Six Mobile, Netflix Games Streaming, Genshin Impact Thoughts about Zelda Breath of the Wild Accusations, and the League of Legends Jhin Gacha Skin.

Genshin Impact Censorship
On a side note Genshin Impact 4.0 has been released, so a new big environment has been added basically players can now swim underwater. This is good because I kinda hate the swimming levels on video games, does it remind you of any? There is a problem though, especially in the assets department. Because apparently in the underwater gameplay of the game some assets are being censored. To be fair they did if in a none mosaic JAV way. They used water effects to kinda hinder you from prying any further. Not sure if this only applies to the english version but I would suspect it is. Additionally, Genshin Impact is no stranger to censorship girl characters have been censored multiple times, from making them darker and less skimpy, and even reducing the girls’ bust sizes. Let me explain if you know Rosaria, so what they did is on patch 1.2 when it was released Rosaria looks great then on patch 1.4 she nerfs the bust size. Don't believe me there is a “mega thread” on the Genshin Impact official forums. Some theorize and suggest that clipping issues due to her large bust, maybe Mihoyo tech can't handle it as for the other updates of Genshin Impact 4.0 I have no idea haven't played the game for a while.

Valorant Film
Before we start have you guys watched Arcane? It's the Animated series based on League of Legends. What if there is a Valorant version? Will you be interested? Well according to a Valorant leaker called Kingdom Laboratories a film based on the Valorant could be in the works according to the information it is being developed by Tencent. To those who don't know Tencent is Riot Games' parent company according to Kingdom Laboratories, a film based on the game will be released in 2025. The leaker linked to a YouTube live stream that will air on October 13, 2024, with a supposed thumbnail for the trailer according to the leaker, the animation style will be different and will be closer to the episode trailers for Valorant. Do you think this information is true or fake? Note that Riot has yet to publicly confirm or deny the leaks of a possible film

Rainbow Six Siege Mobile
If you like tactical shooters but do not have a PC, the upcoming Rainbow Six Mobile is going to have a soft launch this August. Have you guys played R6 Seige? The game will be similar to Rainbow 6 Seige and will be a free-to-play competitive, multiplayer first-person shooter. Have you played other Tom Clancy Games? If you can't wait for August there is also a closed beta happening before the soft launch which is set on September 12 on Android for players in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, India, and the Philippines.

Netflix Games Streaming
Last of Aug 14 Netflix has a announce a beta program for its game streaming. There will be two games playable which are Oxenfree by an indie adventure game Night School Studio and the second Molehews Mining Adventure.

LoL Jhin Mythic Gacha
In the recent League of Legends PBE update, a new Jhin skin called Dark Cosmic Erasure variant has been revealed. Some fans actually love but some are pissed. Guess why? How much are you willing to pay for a skin? Here is why, apparently the skin can cost up to 200USD according to Dexerto. Apparently, the skin itself is tied to an RNG loot system where players will need to purchase capsules for the chance for a drop. Which we call in the industry Gacha and if you are not lucky you players need to spend up to $200 for the guaranteed drop.

Genshin Impact vs Zelda
Basically, they were accused of cloning Zelda Breath of the Wild. So why are we talking about it its been ages, well apparently the accusation took a heavy toll on the development team. This is according to Liu "Dawei" Wei, the co-founder and current president of miHoYo. To the point many of his colleagues were crying and saying "Why is this happening?" and "What did we do wrong? What do you guys think about this did they copy it?
