PlayStation China Press Conference Could Be Worth Keeping an Eye On

@get2sammyb Same here, it's been a while and looking forward to its progress. I am hoping Sony forms a team in this Hero Project that can make games based on Ancient Chinese Wuxia.

@get2sammyb The problem with China Hero Project is that the only game everyone remembers from the project is Lost Soul Aside. Barely anyone talk about the other titles like Code Hardcore and Project Boundary.

Plus, weren't The Walker and Animal Force, which were recently released, part of China Hero Project? Surprised you guys didn't reviewed those games yet. Would be kinda ironic if you guys scored those games a pretty average/low score, to be honest.

@GarySan I think there's already one in development from the China Hero Project. I think it's called Project X or something.

@get2sammyb I see. And were those good?

I can't be the only one who's kinda disappointed with the lastest chinese games support on the PS4, right? From the disappointing Koi and Hidden Dragon Legend to the terrible Gene Rain, not a lot of chinese games on the PS4 were any good. In fact, I find it a bit ironic cause a lot of chinese games that were reviewed on this site garnered a score of 5 or lower.

I think the few chinese PS4 games that are actually good are Ancient Amulator, Light Tracer, Icey and Salary Man VR, though both Salary Man and Ancient Amulator are pretty niche, while Icey was released first on PC.

And as for China Hero Project, we already got two titles from it, which were The Walker and Animal Force, and needless to say, they were pretty mediocre. I hope the best for Sony and its program but the devs really need to know that not all the time is the style more important than anything.

@get2sammyb Ouch. So far, China Hero Project got a bumpy start. Here's hoping the next titles are better (well, except Kill X because in all honesty, it looks pretty bad).

@SoulsBourne128 It's not looking great. Their games lack some sort of identity crisis. I regularly read Manga on this Chinese comic app. Other than the Japanese mangas, there are also a lot of Chinese comics drawn by home grown artists. Technically they are very sound, but unfortunately they don't feel original at all because they are all drawn in Japanese anime style with very cliche cheesy stories. What I'm feeling with the Chinese games is exactly the same.

@SoulsBourne128 Shio was pretty good, and it's a chinese game, so I would defenitely add that to the "good" pile. Would have mentioned Detention as well until I have heard that Chinese and Taiwanese games aren't exactly the same.

@GarySan I agree. These teams clearly has talents. The problem is that while a lot of their games on the console has a lot of heart, you can clearly see that they're lacking any soul. There ARE good chinese games. Is just many of them are mostly from the PC and/or mobile (if you exclude the obvious knock-offs like Arena of Valor and Knives Out).

And I've just noticed that 80-75% of chinese games on the PS4 are mostly 3 hour long (or less) VR experiences that are either shooters with lacking content or puzzlers with very finnicky controls. Mmh....

I'll be keeping an eye out but so far, I'm less impressed with the current quality of the chinese games on the system. Funny how everyone are acting very excited for upcoming chinese games (sometimes solely because it's chinese) and yet barely hear anyone talking about how good Icey, Candleman or Light Tracer. In fact, why does everyone seem to be ignoring the bad chinese games like Weeping Doll or Ace Banana or Dying Reborn or Ranch Planet? I mean, a bit of acknowledgement would be nice.

Looking forward to Lost Soul Aside, but I need that Monkey King game in my life.

@Fight_Teza_Fight This. For a game distributed by Oasis Games, this looks way more higher budget than any of Oasis titles. I think the devs even said that they are focusing on making the game better than the movie it is based on. Because the movie is really...well, I would say 'average' if I'm being generous here.
