After three years of anticipation, the game finally showcased its PV (promotional video) at a prestigious event like Gamescom, with hands-on demo participation exceeding expectations. Chinese AAA games have finally reached this milestone!
I’ve seen some people online complaining that this PV doesn’t have enough new content, accusing Game Science of being lazy. Haven’t they had enough of over-promised games like Cyberpunk 2077? 🥴
“Journey to the West” itself is an excellent vehicle for cultural export. All kinds of creatures - birds and beasts - could join the Tang monk on his journey to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West (India), sharing both joy and hardship together. The various demons and monsters they encounter along the way come in all forms, with heads of bulls and horses - differences in species and colors were never an issue. This shows that Chinese civilization has been free from racial discrimination since ancient times, and children’s idol is a monkey with a staff who fights heaven and earth.
This represents a deep-level export of ideology.
