I'm kinda interested on trying the game out but unfortunately, everytime I try to sign up for the playtest, it keeps redirecting me to the country selection page before kicking me back to the website home page. Not sure if it's the device or browser I'm using.
Not sure if I'm excited. The first season, while not perfect, was genuinely pretty good and was a good example of video game adaptations done right.
Then the second season came in, and the best compliment I could give it is that it made people who hated the The Last of Us part 2 actually appreciate the game due to some of the baffling decisions that were made. It's like they wanted the season to appeal to both the fans and the non-fans, only to end up a mess compared to the first season.
Damn, been such a long time since I've played this game back when I was in middle school. Have to thank youtubers for helping me discover this game lol
@PuppetMaster good points although I wonder if they main reason why you mentioned Evotinction is because I was the first to bring it up here cause barely anyone even knew it even released, including myself until a year after its release lol still impressed it got decent reviews and I definitely think it deserves it, though part of why I never mentioned it as an example is because it's more of a stealth game than an action game.
I do find it a big shame that it's so far the only latest China Hero Project game right now to not focus on flashy action. I guess there's the weird sci-fi fantasy mix Convallaria, which I had my eye on since 2019, but given the recent fallout that happened some weeks ago with Loongforce devs, I'm not sure if that game will ever come out unless they find a different publisher or developer.
Most excited for Aria but mistly cause I just love robot characters like Billy. A shame that she only fights in her human avatar and only uses her robot form during her ult.
@kailun those are already franchises made by the same developers, so of course they'd all look the aame and honestly, whay else can you evolve in a soccer game lol (big reason why I'm never that big on sport games) Not that I'm trying to defend them but atleast with Japanese developers, they don't always have to keep their games in the same setting of Japan all the time lol atleast give us something like A.I. Limit or even Lost Soul Aside (for all its flaws) where they didn't have to be set in a China-centric setting.
@AhmadSumadi while I'm still interested, I agree that a lot of them feel homogeneous. If you told me this game, Fallen Feathers and Black Myth were part of the same series, I'd believe you.
@Boxmonkey "chinese devs are cooking these days" after the launch of Lost Soul Aside? Eh, sorta, give or take.
The investigation part unironically interests me more. Though I feel like it's a bit too early to call this the next "Black Myth Eukong" lol we have to wait and see if they'll pull it off (and hopefully won't suffer any kind of development issues)
Tgis is really cool but it's still crazy how we had to wait for months just so the game could get its first major update lol atleast they're not abandoning the game (same cannot be said for Bleach Rebirth of Souls)
I do agree that, if used correctly, AI can be of good use as a tool just as long it doesn't steal from other people's works. Or you know, be used as a lazy shortcut like in Black Ops 7.
That aside, it's surprising to see AI supporters here in the comments. Tehn again, I recall some of the PS Star awards use AI art so I shouldn't be surprised that Playstation community has a couple of those guys lol
Well, that sucks. The first game wasn't perfect but it had that kind of charm, and I enjoyed the music. Really unfortunate what the gaming industry is heading to.
To this day, it still feels like a wasted opportunity for Sony on not buying this studio as I would love TiGames to become their first chinese first party studios.
Regardless, this game still needs some polishing but shows promise. At the very least it doesn't seem to be another souls-like action game lol
The ones with the ghibli filter is so baffling to me because they didn't even try to make the AI slop art tonally fit with the game. What does fantasy have anything to with a military scifi shooter game?
Not gonna lie, it would have been so much better if it was a Monster Hunter-like spinoff instead of being an MMO. It's especially infuriating that this game is only coming to PC and mobile. Maybe in the future they'll consider if the game does well enough but not sure...
Compared to the state of play back in summer, it felt pretty disappointing. Some of these felt more like reminders than actual new updates (MH Wilds being the biggest offender). Not to mention the lack of China Hero or even Team Asobi, and Marvel Tokon's spot here was pointless. All we got was a stage that deconfirmed a lot of the X-Men characters lol it's kinda unfortunate how the only "oh crap" moments I got from the state were two IDW characters coming to Sonic Crossworlds and Artorias coming to Nightreign.
Crossing my fingers they'll add outher Dark Souls bosses. Still funny how bosses like Manus, Sif, Artorias or Nito never got in but somehow Centepide Demon and Gaping Dragon did lol
Inb4 people starting posting about Bloodborne Remaster copium even though it's highly unlikely that it'll happen unfortunately lol would be cool to see Team Asobi's new project though. If we might get something from China Hero too, I hope they'll announce an update for Convalleria as it's their second China Hero game that they'll publish and we haven't gotten any big news from it since 2022.
I'm still very much looking forward for China Hero Project's new games (Loulan looks sick as hell) and I have to give credit to the devs for not inmediately giving up on the game unlike some other devs, but it's hard to call CHP "excellent" atm when Sony themselves kinda threw the main star of the program under the bus all because it didn't get high marks. I said it before but I really think they should have dropped the price to $40 instead of placing a $60-$70 price tag on it to soften the reception a bit. I still hope Sony learns their lessons for Convalleria, as that's their second project that they'll publish and so far looks promising (love me some co-op shooters) but we haven't heard much about it since 2022 I believe.

Re: Highguard Already Trying Something Different as Player Numbers Plummet
Makes you wonder why didn't they release the game with this at launch cause from what I have heard, the mode is more fun than 3v3.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?
Compared to the state of play back in summer, it felt pretty disappointing. Some of these felt more like reminders than actual new updates (MH Wilds being the biggest offender). Not to mention the lack of China Hero or even Team Asobi, and Marvel Tokon's spot here was pointless. All we got was a stage that deconfirmed a lot of the X-Men characters lol it's kinda unfortunate how the only "oh crap" moments I got from the state were two IDW characters coming to Sonic Crossworlds and Artorias coming to Nightreign.
Wandering Sword looks promising though.
Re: FromSoftware Still Has Major Elden Ring Nightreign DLC to Release, Out by April 2026
