unfortunately I have to agree, they release some cool ass trailer but I have yet see any of them getting released.

Looks unbelievable... as in I don't believe this is an actual game.
I feel like I've said this before about another Chinese game announced years ago.

I don't know... This gameplay look *too* good to be actual gameplay. I don't see how any player could make that kind of commands and inputs in a reasonable ammount of time. Those parries on the trailer seemed... artificial. Its hard to put my finger on it.
And its made by a chinese developer, which I don't really like(Its something ingraned probably in their culture that translates to their game in a way that don't gel with me. The way they present their scenes, their dialogues, how images are framed. Again, hard to describe).

That's kind of how I feel.
It looked very dynamic and all, but it also didn't look like actual gameplay footage. The combats felt like they had too much choreography to be actual gameplay, for example with all these super fast sword exchanges / parries, I'm not sure how that would work in gameplay, it definitely wasn't individual parries done manually, or maybe it's just holding a block button and it does that? Not sure.
Like you mentionned the camera angle also looked really strange, sometimes you would see the character running on a wall and jump toward ennemies we couldn't even see, it doesn't look like something that would be "playable".

Looks slick AF. Genuinely surprised. Up there with Alan Wake as games that interested me.

Yeah, it was hard to say what was scripted and what was real gameplay with full control.

Somehow It looks more like a cool proof of concept that an actual and playable game. We'll see, it's hard be get excited about each cool looking game anymore cuz they might end up not releasing at all.

Whenever combat and movement looks too good to be true, you can assume much of its auto.
And has a Chinese made game ever turned out well? I can't recall any of the top of my head. They always look very good but something ends up being wrong I think.
Apart from MMOs? I don't know, I don't think I've played any non-MMO Chinese games. The 'Impact' series games seemed to have been received well, especially Genshin Impact. There have been games co-developed by CHinese studios or games headed by Western pubs/creators but with Chinese devs like Alice: Madness Returns, or when a Chinese dev gets the license to make a f2p version of some big game like COD Online or Diablo Immortal. And then you of course have the 'clone games'.
I know some pubs have devs in CHina like Ubisoft but yea, most of my experience with CHinese games are with their MMOs. But most of that has most been trying to get VPNs to work, or sorting through translation patches and then stop playing after a dozen hours or so.

Define “real gameplay”.
It’s obviously highly scripted and nowhere near as Freeform as something like DMC. I’m interested to see what the end product ends up being, as it’s visually very interesting, but I’m not expecting it to be deep at all. Not a game I’d spend $80 on but if it isn’t awful, it’s a game I’d consider picking up in a good sale.

He may be right, but his reasons are poor.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I agree. There are quite a fair bit of red flags around. That in combination with the fact that Chinese Playstation games have hardly any good track record.
Project Boundary announced in 2016 for PS4 with PSVR support. Now in 2023, it launches as an early access Steam game with no VR. Still no PS4/PSVR release
Immortal Legacy: The Jade Cipher launches with 3 hours of gameplay, mixed reviews and received next to no attention on both PS4 and PC.
Animal Force launches with 1 user review on Steam. Next to no attention on both PS4 and PC. Studio's social media haven't been updated since 2020.
Pervader? announced in 2017. Seemingly cease to exist now.
AI Limit. No update since 2020.
RAN: Lost Islands. No update since 2021.
The Walker launched on PSVR. have mixed reviews and forgotten.
Not saying all of them are bad. At least Anno Mutationem is a success going by Steam reviews. and Evotinction is still alive.

I wouldn't agree with him that the game is not real usually since a big gaming company like Sony is behind it but then i remember Abandoned and how that game is not real

I actually tried this out today. There's a native PC client with built in controller support (works well with Dualsense).
Fun little beat'em up. Customizable combos and stuff, with 4 playable characters you can swap between whenever.
But..... there's lots of FOMO stuff and battle pass garbo.
Probably won't play it as a GaaS, but I will at least play through the story until I get stuck behind 'pay to progress' mechanics.

new gameplay
Man, this looks so.fucking.good - from the art direction, to animations, graphics, sound production AND gameplay...
This is another Stellar blade/Wukong case - everyone thought that they were vaporware/"fake" and yet, look at how good they turned out to be.
Can't wait !

I'm not a fan of need to finish the game to unlock the hardest mode.
The AI of boss change in hardest mode is interesting though.
