It's interesting just because this is a post-apocalyptic game set after Japan's "cultural" invasion of the United States, but what's even more interesting is that it's made by a Chinese game studio.
Its very weird and interesting when stuff like that happens. Like this quote from the behind-the-scenes Porco Rosso. *Susan Egan* _"Okay, it takes place in Italy but it was originally in Japanese and now its in English but she sings in French."_
Taking a really specific time period in Japan with all its tropes and culture, and then transplanting it onto a modern apocalyptic dessert in America is such an interesting mixture.
In a world full of geopolitics and hatred, it genuinely brings some smile to me seeing a game developed by the Chinese portraying a world where the USA is colonized by the Japanese. The music is also so goooood!
Fun Facts: *1. Showa 66, or 1991 is the year in which Japan starts the 30-years of economic decline.* *2. The date which the trailer released, is actually the date Emperor Showa passed away.* Satire at its finest.
As per an interview from local magazine: 75% of the game has been finished, including the main story line and around 20 sub-story tasks, now the biggest issue which stops the game from publishing is that the graphic artwork outsourcing work has not yet been done. A lot of 3A games are now doing the same thing in China, so a independent game studio is a little bit harder to get support with priority. The game is not 100% open world, as seen from the map, there will be different chapters, but there will be a lot of interesting stuffs to be collected. Release date is TBD, main reason is also the graphic workload is big, which also makes the main character's face not seen from the first trailer. The trailer is a surprise for Chinese game players as well, in the past two years, and showed us the potential, and we really hope that more and more Chinese studios will bring more fantastic games to all game players all over the world.
the Japanese song 「それが大事(Sore Ga Daiji)」used in this PV was released in 1991, so call Heisei 3. heisei is the name of era after Showa. if showa still remains in 1991, it's Showa 66. 最後の特別出演の人って、やっぱり『あの人』ですよねぇ。
A little more info: the song それが大事 itself is actually famous in China for its Chinese language cover 红日, or "Red Sun". Needless to say, the Sun is an important symbol of Japan, which is right there on their national flag.
@@mooncaketin 'Showa 66' is not a real year because Emperor Showa died in 1989 (Showa 64). That commenter is merely explaining how the game is demonstrating that this is an alternate history
@@NoahRodriguezShow To clarify for everyone, in American culture 66 is best known for a long road (Route 66) that stretches from the Great Lakes by Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California.
Since the setting in this game is a blend/merging of Japanese and American, I'm looking forward to see a group of kids running around with hi-tech gadgets and gears and a big friendly healthcare robot in red armor.
Yes... Regular pool background... 🙂 And the graphic has amount of similar to that "honey" game. 🙂 Never thought illusion will come up to this idea.....
Fun Fact, the name of the lady in this Trailer : Chikusa Choko If translate via pronunciation Chiku means region, Sa means produced, Choko means China so it figuratively mean Made In China, Lol.
It needed an outside perspective, the take-over fear was in the actual American 80's zeitgeist, just look at the movies, later turned into a meme, and the Japanese is too traumatised to re-examine that period of history.
There are a lot of people who's wettest dreams just came true with the concept of Japan integrating their culture and society into America, this game is going to be a grand slam.
2:04 , Wikipedia: Hanazono Room, officially No. 136 Hanazono Room, is an apartment room with an indoor swimming pool located in the uppermost floor of the Sun Mall Crest Condominium in Shinjuku district in Tokyo, Japan. Operated by P-Studio, the indoor swimming pool in the apartment unit was a venue for many Japanese pornographic skits with themes of swimming and poolside intercourse. With its association with Japanese pornography, the indoor pool inside Hanazono Room became popularly known as That Pool in internet subculture. I'm not familiar with this pool everyone here is talking about so i wikipediaed it. 🤗
Fun fact: there's never "Showa 66" in reality as the era ends in 1989 as soon as the Showa emperor died. It was the time during which the Japanese were really successful so there was a whole world called "Showa nostalgia" in Japan. The year 66 of Showa reflects that nostalgia in showing a world where the Showa era never ends
@@simplemaker173 it is actually the reason guys are shilling this game. on what I seen the game looks like a smash a poorly made assets. another trailer with no distinctives changes showed 3 years ago. mediocre game if devs don't up their works
OMG It looks like a lot of content in the game. The concept also pretty unique and never has been used before. Never feel so hype for non-AAA game like this before.
Loving the concept and idea of what this game will bring to the community. But Side note some of the animations look real stiff, like the motorcycle riding.
Chinese animation I'm afraid, all Chinese games are mostly like that. sword and fairy and swords of legend and Gujian 3, all fantastic games, but the animation is so janky.

The most iconic pool in the history.
Will buy the game just for that alone ;)
A Japanese themed game set in the US made by a Chinese developer, kinda amazing lol
what was kill bill then?
Who else dared to do it?
the Japanese song 「それが大事(Sore Ga Daiji)」used in this PV was released in 1991, so call Heisei 3.
heisei is the name of era after Showa.
if showa still remains in 1991, it's Showa 66.
最後の特別出演の人って、やっぱり『あの人』ですよねぇ。
The developer chose the song because it was very well known in China. The game is composed of Chinese memes about the United States and Japan.
@0:17 it explicitly states that it's Showa 66

This looks like one of those fake mobile game ads, turned into a full fledged game
The motorbike part looks so much like ads from State of Survival.
this is more historically accurate than assassin's creed shadows

Can some gentleman elaborate on please!!

Never thought illusion will come up to this idea.....
watched the video again and again, lots of fun seeing some iconic elements mixed in a game like this
Me too~
If Dead Rising was made by the Nier devs.
Combat looks stiff and bland. Totally the opposite of Nier.

Don't calm down. ac shadow exists.
Can’t wait to see more of this game. I’m interested. On my radar for sure
The theme of this game looks amazing.

This looks batshit crazy. I'm with it.
This will either be garbage or the greatest thing ever, there is no in between
It turns out that Chinese know Japan much more deeply than Americans.
So confused & intrigued at the same time.
I’m literally sooo ready for this game! It looks amazing and absurd in the best ways possible!
This looks really fun to play. I’m interested to see where they take this story.
Wow. This game looks very unique and crazy, can’t wait to see more
Make America SUGOI Again!!!
Love the choice of music for this trailer.

Funny Netizen comments: "can we have the zombies take off their shoes before they attack the players after entering a house" LOL
Finally something interesting, different and familiar all at the same time

Because it's concept is ripped from Dead Rising
Looks like a poo fest

This is what people in the 1980s thought would actually happen to America.
This may be the single greatest argument FOR cultural appropriation that's ever been.
This might be the most insane game made this year.
Chinese developers are taking the term 'meme game' into a new level.
@@SpyFromMarsZeus sure it's not Japanese?
@@shaheenziyard5631 It's a full Chinese mainland studio.

Japanese on 2ch on LAUGHING at the pool scene on 2:03. It's such a wink wink nudge nudge thing.
Super cool trailer. I’m digging the unique setting and the sort of film/tv style presentation
0:23 HELL YEAH
This seems really cool and quirky. Gives me No More Heroes vibes.
Fun fact: there's never "Showa 66" in reality as the era ends in 1989 as soon as the Showa emperor died. It was the time during which the Japanese were really successful so there was a whole world called "Showa nostalgia" in Japan. The year 66 of Showa reflects that nostalgia in showing a world where the Showa era never ends
2:03 This is...well if you know this pool...you know it alright....
This looks absolutely absurd and I'm here. for. it.

I’m buying it for the exact same reason.
well it's wouldn't be Showa without a Drill

Don't know if this is gonna be a spiritual successor to No More Heroes or not
Reminded me more of Dead Rising
You see that's kind of the deal, it feels like they are mixing both into one single meme game. One from Japan developers and the other from US...
Name of the song :
1. わらべ - もしも明日が
2. 大事MANブラザーズバンド - それが大事
they need to come from a special event
This is like when early anime English dubs would claim that the story is set in the US while the setting does not look anything like America
This game reminds me alot of Lollipop Chainsaw, Dead Rising and Days Gone

“The Gurren Express” and the drill arm weapon, too, pretty based
it's Showa reference
