    It turns out the first AAA game out of China will be a Souls-like. :felix-linus:

    It sounds fun and looks great, but I'd rather Chinese companies start making better versions of games that Western publishers like EA or 2K have been milking for years.

    I'd love to play a new GTA or Elder Scrolls, please.

    Edit: I say Chinese companies will need to make these games, because there's no way a company like Microsoft or Activision will ever be sold off, even in part, to Chinese investors. The Call of Duty games especially are too important for propaganda and recruitment reasons to the US state department.

        Do you really think a Chinese company would outbid EA for exclusive rights?

        You can make a COD clone without support of the US army, you can't make a successful basketball game without LeBron.

        There used to be superior sports titles, but EA killed them all by getting exclusive licenses.

          Just make it completely unlicensed to make the Westoids seethe more about "muh precious IP!"

        Tbh, it looks okay. I'd like to see more and for the right price I would probably play it or wait for a sale, but the combat doesn't seem quite there. It is probably much further along now though

      They should make neat city builders without garbage urban transport
