PlayStation China press conference on July 29 2015 - PS4 future, Games & Morpheus
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
Oh wow. So I knew Andrew House will be there but it looks like Shuhei Yoshida will be there too alongside Takehito Soeda and Hiroyuki Oda.
The theme of the event is "For the Players" and will go over the future of PlayStation in China, new games that will launch there and a look at Project Morpheus.

Hype intensifying, I hope they announce a lot of Chinese games (that hopefully come to the west too), Sony really needs their support right now.
Where's that nothing to see here gif where the house is burning? This is starting to sound like something.
Why did you remove the "ONLY CHINA - DO NOT GET F'ING HYPED, MAN"-part from topic? Now I'm getting hyped.
It's still in the OP haha.
Plus I wanted to fit in the theme of the conference in the title.
it would have been better if you had left out the comma between future and games. It would have really messed with people.
Well it could be that we do hear about unannounced games, but likely they'll be domestic titles.
I understand that. It just would have been more exciting. I need some excitement and laughs while working.
what conference?
The Chinese one this thread is about. It was supposed to start at 3am est.

Lol. Isnt the conference on the 29th? I think somebody needs more sleep.
Reading is hard. Editing my post.
OMG! Haha! This is brilliant!
Karma for teasing Zhuge in the NPD thread.
Wait, you actually thought the conference was yesterday? LOL! Forgive me, but this is just hilarious! Especially when the date is given in the thread title!
To be fair, the date in the title is cut off on my phone, which is how I primarily browse Gaf.
Plus:
Sorry, I saw your edited post, but it's still pretty funny that you woke up to watch the conference and you realized there was none. XD
That would be crazy. I actually just woke up because nature was calling. It just happened to be at that time.
Happy to hear that the top sellers are 2 Japanese games, too. Another market for big budget Japanese console games, especially one with the potential of China, is always a good thing!
Also, there's a whole host of obscure Chinese-only RPGs that were for PC that I'd love to see new sequels for on the PS4...

Heart Games (Xin Dong) is a small internet based Games Entertainment company in China who make smaller scale games for browser and Mobile in China.
Today they are announcing two new titles to PlayStation 4. The first title known as "Magic Mirror Realms" and is a 2D action adventure game set in a future city where you fight robots and stuff.
The second is "Blazing Blades: ComboSteel" which is a 3D fighting action game where you battle enemies with traditional weapons.
Both games are developed with Unity Engine and will be playable at China Joy 2015 at the end of this month. I have included screenshots below and videos linked above that go to Youku. As Youku is a Chinese streaming site the videos will take some time to load so please be patient.
*Please note that game names are translated from Chinese and are not official English game titles.

Interesting developments.
Now... if Morpheus could only reach 1% of China's population.
Joking aside, I can't really see Oculus and Vive with their expensive HW requirement getting a lot of attention there. PS4 is much better suited to become "VR of choice" in China, at least until some ultra cheap knockoffs start appearing. On the mobile side, Cardboard-like solutions will probably be most adopted.

Cool, do know if they got 'incentives' from sony to make playstation games or did they just want to make a ps4 game?
I think they entered the games as part of PlayStation sponsored game creation contest. But I can't remember exactly. I'll find out for you.
Do you know if those games you mentioned have a chance of being translated and getting a worldwide release or are there games that will pretty much be China exclusives?
I know that you mentioned King of Wushu coming out elsewhere but I wasn't sure if that is an exception or the rule.
One of Sony's core objectives in the China market is to get domestic developers to create new experiences on PlayStation 4 for the China market. They will also look to bring these games to the international market in the same way that King Of Wushu is coming overseas.
However, this process will take time and we are still waiting to see just how many Chinese developers will bring their current and new titles to PS4. Once we start to see more domestic games launch on PS4 I'm sure we'll start to see them launch overseas.
That would be nice. More variety in games never hurts.
This actually looks quite interesting. Someone should make a thread for this game.
Great to know. Thanks for the information.
Me too.
Although I would like to make it clear again not to set expectations too high as we are still waiting to see how many locally developed games will support PS4 in China first (Hopefully we get more information end of this month at the conference). We may not see games start to be bought to the International market from within China until next year or maybe even 2017.
Are there any local huge pc/mobile franchise that would be a huge get/move units if announced for PS4? Like how Dragon Quest on PS4 would help Japanese sales.
Hmmm. Good question.
I do think that even if a lot of PC/mobile games come to console in China then it won't do too much as PC is still where everyone will play.
I guess if the games are about ROTK and Journey to the West then we could see some people buy PS4 haha.
But to be honest I can't think of a killer app that would actually get Chinese consumers to go and buy a PS4. Chinese gamers play a mix of locally developed games and internationally developed games (LoL is massive).
I think that it's a double problem wherein the games that are really popular in China are already on PC or mobile, and that none of the big Chinese power players are very invested in consoles. For example, Tencent controls China's most popular games and they're going to ensure that those games stay on PC because they're heavily committed that platform. We can expect PC games to be utterly dominant for the whole generation - but if Sony can establish themselves they'll have a much better shot with the PS5.
But if there is any one title that can draw a lot of Chinese gaming attention, my money will be on the duo of Final Fantasy XV and VII Remake. Unfortunately, both titles have a good chance of showing up on PC as well.

Rather have The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber
Anyway Zhuge, there are quite a few more Chinese games you can talk about.
That and MS China will debut MCC on the same day
zzzzzz

YES!
Even Furious 7 made close to $400 Million in China. You read that right! 400 million dollars in China alone. And it's an American brand through and through. Maybe one day Sony is hoping that they can have a game like Horizons sell 8 million copies with 1 million in China alone.

Right on
I don't care too much about Halo MCC lol.
But what other domestic Chinese games are confirmed to launch on PS4? Can you provide a list?
Cheers

Just Dance 2015 and Journey will be launching in China very soon.
Both games were approved last week.
Great news, Sony really stepping up in China with its games.

Honestly, that's not really surprising. Hollywood movies have always been popular in China. I was watching Chinese dubbed American movies all the time back in the 80's growing up.
Definitely seems like they're getting these approved quicker.Just Dance 2015 and Journey will be launching in China very soon.

I cant see Just Dance selling well without Jason Derulo coming over to promote it.
