A game based on stereotypes. Japanese stereotypes about America, American stereotypes about Japan, Chinese stereotypes about Japan, Chinese stereotypes about America, Chinese stereotypes about Japanese stereotypes about America, Chinese stereotypes about American stereotypes about Japan. This is the first time I feel stereotypes are good things😂
The Chinese devs took a Japanese TV game show and smashed it head-on into some Boomer-tier Americana!! I hope they work in Xi Jinping and "Comrade Trump" into the final product XD
@@davidchou1675 That's not possible. Chinese Dev adopted Japan and America because if they set the story in their own country, the Communist Party would censor it Recently, a man dressed as Winnie the Pooh was arrested by the CCP🤣
3:11 This Van is the Corn Van btw. This is where AV star films stuff or maybe (I might be wrong) you can rent it with your GF to do Corn stuff. Because it is a one way mirror. People from the outside can’t see you but you can see outside people from the inside. It’s creates more excitement for your Corn activities. Don’t asked me why I know this Van very well.
by the way.. this is from eastern devs... You can see the difference on how they develop the trailer. it is truly for a gamer lol when assassins creed wanted to portray how they view japanaese. This game will tell you how the east view the west lol
Its is funny. but after black myth i am just happy to see Chinese dev games hitting western shelves. Aside from indie developers they seem to be the only ones who actually care about the quality
@@macanimation2793 Do not expect same level of cinematic, action design and graphics as BMW because the focus were different. But if this is your type of game you'll definitely enjoy it because they care about jokes and fun
then you realize at this moment, only chinese can make this game without being bullied. I mean someone will still try, but imagine someone living in china care what people say on twitter
this is a game developed based on the japanese/american pop culture they encountered during their childhood/teenage/young adult years (1980s~early2010s), part of them were imported port of them were pirated, that why some of the references are from really old shows,like imported 1960s/1970s shows, and that why chinese audience could understand those memes better than modern japanese/western audience
Showa, you know? The Japanese period ended in 1989. It imagines a scenario where the Showa era never ended, and Japan colonized the United States. The game is replete with Chinese stereotypes of Japan and the United States from that era. For instance, the routine of watching cartoons at 6:30 each evening reflects the childhood of many Chinese people of my generation. It's akin to a Showa-style rendition of American pop culture, with elements like the car in the background being a nod to Japanese adult videos.
Bro, you must be an 80s boy. 6:30 is the Saint Seiya anime, I got 30 mins to watch this and then go back to finish my homework. 7 o'clock is the National CCTV news, which is really boring.
Nah, IGN official and IGN Japan all released this trailer....XD and you can check comment and you will find that after all, no matter Chinese, Japanese, American, video game players are all the same.
Songs Featured in the trailer (In order of appearance): Warabe - "Moshimo Ashita ga... (もしも明日が…/If Tomorrow...)" (1983) Daijiman Brothers Band - "Sorega Daiji (それが大事/What's Most Precious)" (1991) Fun Facts: Daijiman Brothers Band 1. Sorega Daiji was the Daijiman Brothers Band's first Number 1 hit single, which sold 2 million copies and was awarded a Gold Disc by the RIAJ (Recording Industry Association of Japan). 2. Daijiman Brothers Band performed the 1st Crayon Shin-Chan ending theme "Uta o Utaou ("うたをうたおう"/"Sing a Song")" in 1992. Warabe Moshimo Ashita ga was Warabe's first No. 1 single and their biggest selling single of all time.
This is a highly fantastic Memoribilia for a Chinese growing up in 80s and 90s interested in Japanese culture. So many music and words that bring back memories of Japanese pop culture in china.
You're absolutely right. A game should be fun before it's educational If the game is interesting enough, then I don't mind gaining more knowledge in the game. If a game itself comes with trying to educate the player on what is right and what is wrong, then the game has no future.
Saw you in Asmon's stream yesterday, hit the feels man, makes me wish we were back in the 90s This game does give me hope, looks like pure fun not give a damn kinda game Those eastern studios are maybe the wake up call we need over here
1:28 that is called a "Seppuku" and that is the right way to do it... A Samurai way to have an honorable death... there's a lot of meaning to it depends on how you do it, but youtube will delete my comment if I try to explain in an even more detail... you gotta study differences yourselves I guess... but heck since this is a zombie game so he probably got bitten so he does that before he turn into a zombie maybe...
That Human cannon ball firework thingy is actually a reference to Dinosaur Corps Koseidon. Its a Toku series where they jump back in time and the MC is shot out of the main gun of their ship. Its quite famous in Asia.
It’s an incredible song! I’m a japanese chinese born in south east asia, and this song has inspired cantonese and mandarin cover by a famous singer in hong kong and a band in taiwan. Either of the 3 versions are often played on the radios, casettes and persists on cds when i was growing up! My parents will definitely have one of the songs when driving on a road trip, or when we have karaoke sessions in family gatherings!! Also all those close ups of the “random” items are nostalgic i grew up with 😂 honestly really well done.
So what's the over under on how badly the gaming journalists are going to absolutely crap on this game and how very little impact they will have on the sales? Also the song is Sorega Daiji by Daijiman Brothers Band if I'm not wrong, if anyone was curious. There's also a cantopop version by Hacken Lee, you can search this to find the chinese version if anyone was curious: 紅日
@@highwindknight 3:10 is actually a reference to cat's eye. It is an old anime from the 80s that was super popular in japan and china. The main character's face being blurred out is a reference to Japanese censorship.
Fun fact: this game does not release on X-BOX because in this Showa alternative timeline America is dominated by Japanese culture thus X-BOX does not exist.
This game is a love letter to our youths (those who grew up in the 80s and 90s). It is full of references (to our childhood animes, manga, toys, stuff we did, or dreamed about), almost in every frame and the songs too.
"be the american, the chinese imagine, that the japanese think you are" - commenter on the trailer video 😆 the game is brilliant genius because it satirizes the weird bromance between japanese and american culture
This game feels like someone took Filthy Frank's skit about the weeaboos and extrapolated it to 1000, all around his imitation of the american weebs : i am cowboy tanaka .
I feel like the universe will conspire to prevent this game from being as life-changingly awesome as it has every right to be. Its like my dream game. There's no way the powers that be will allow this game to be good.
Great trailer! this game might be for real one of the best in 2025, like one coment on the og video "finally a game with soul" .... p.d: that shobutaro guy on your chat, i imagine he enjoys dragon age lol what a hater

The game devs is a Chinese company.
This game is more historically accurate than Assassin's creed, and more diverse than Concord, what more can you ask for?
Isn't AC and this game both categorized as a Historical Fantasy ? How they can be accurate if story is Historical Fiction.
@@gamerzilla6113 Have you watched Ubi soft videos about AC shadows? They were bragging about how historically accurate their game is.
@@gamerzilla6113 I think he's talking about how the game's references and feel in general encapsulate a time period more accurately than that AC does

A game based on stereotypes.
Japanese stereotypes about America,
American stereotypes about Japan,
Chinese stereotypes about Japan,

Chinese stereotypes about American stereotypes about Japan.
This is the first time I feel stereotypes are good things😂
Fun fact, 2025 is showa 100th year
Damn!
and you got 66 thumbs up
Settings on America, Story about Japanese and Made by Chinese. Literally diverse game 😏
and all based on stereotypes adn make everyone in the game looks badass
@@我就爛-l1h yea I want more of this diverse
The Chinese devs took a Japanese TV game show and smashed it head-on into some Boomer-tier Americana!! I hope they work in Xi Jinping and "Comrade Trump" into the final product XD
@@davidchou1675
That's not possible. Chinese Dev adopted Japan and America because if they set the story in their own country, the Communist Party would censor it
Recently, a man dressed as Winnie the Pooh was arrested by the CCP🤣
DEI should worship this.
this is creativity at peak. a game with setting in the US, but japanese culture, made by chinese devs.
DEI absolutely
Isn’t this the multiculturalism you like?
3:11 This Van is the Corn Van btw. This is where AV star films stuff or maybe (I might be wrong) you can rent it with your GF to do Corn stuff. Because it is a one way mirror. People from the outside can’t see you but you can see outside people from the inside. It’s creates more excitement for your Corn activities.
Don’t asked me why I know this Van very well.
found a cultured fellow
"Corn activities", they must love these in Iowa.
They got "The pool" in their first trailer too.
While at night, the mirror turns the other way around and you will have people watching you while your focus on your activities.
@@xpp6276 The pool. Legendary.
Dev: Americans, buy this game, buy it hard, next time we bring you Trumpy Japanese Story.
MAJA!
MJGA by China
by the way.. this is from eastern devs... You can see the difference on how they develop the trailer. it is truly for a gamer lol
when assassins creed wanted to portray how they view japanaese. This game will tell you how the east view the west lol
It just feels like they put the fun first and I can ALWAYS get behind that.
Not all eastern countries aren't same.
You're saying it like the east is just one big country.
no japanese game house would dare to make this game....
@@RexSterlingTVsome devs want to brainwash you, and some just want to have fun with you.
实际上这是第二部预告片，初版预告片在2022年发布😂，当时的开发完成度已经达到75%，但受到疫情影响，这个31人的小团队无法与大公司竞争外包资源（很多工作要交付第三方）。开发团队的头目曾在UBI和EA工作过，整个团队基本由上游创作者构成，没有码农。平均年龄超过30岁。工作地点在武汉（没错，就是所谓的cov19爆心）😂😂😂
都是政治正确大厂踢出去的精英😂😂😂
你头目这个词用的就很精髓
没有码农啥意思，这游戏开发没有任何技术人员吗😂
@@tianwang 拿錢辦事的程序員，他的意思是整個製作團隊都是對遊戲開發抱有熱誠的遊戲人而不是只會照著上級指示作程序設計的上班族
是的, 去他们的官网看到下方的网络备案号是鄂开头
*BE THE AMERICAN WHO THE CHINESE THINK THE JAPANESE THINK YOU ARE* needs to become the slogan for their advertising
Let's just say: "Make Japan Great Again!"
I never laughed this hard watching a game trailer.
What's stranger is that it's a Chinese dev team too😂
Chinese from the 70s and 80s grow up watching a lot of anime so they can't hide the expertise

The best argument for diversity in games you could have asked for.
The dream of 80s' Japanese, and the memory of 80s' Chinese
我90年初的，总是很恍惚，不知把自己算作哪代。
you're right
THIS is the diversity we all want
我出生于1979年，那个年代的中国年轻人喜欢日本的一切，这个游戏充满了那个年代中国年轻人对日本的"正面刻板印象"。音乐响起让我的思绪一下子回到了那个年代。制作团队是有料的玩梗。
我出生于80年代初，我作证你说的狗屁不通，我们根本不喜欢日本因为小鬼子在中国干了非常非常多坏事。不要混肴视听
没错，所以有人操弄民族主义情绪和民粹意识，一时需要你讨厌某个国家和群体，另一时又让你喜欢某个国家时，面对这种诡异的舆论扭曲和自身好恶的改变时，我们都需要警醒和反思。最简单的方式，就是去那个国家看一看.......乌克兰和俄罗斯，正在展示最糟糕的结果，那些年轻人互相不认识，第一次见面就需要咒骂着杀死对方，没有战争的话，他们的第一次见面应该是完全不同的结果。
@mobeyond 人类共性，就像美国街上也砸过日本车，日本也有反中党派游行，台湾也有过汶川地震民间捐款，只能证明人类的喜恶并非源自天然，而是可以操作的。
但是这场战争就是普京一个人引起的，如果你反对这场战争，就去反对它的根源核心

back in HK.... they anime cycle starts @ 4 and finished @ 6 for news....

That is right, I rem watching cartoons at that time in Singapore
還有女主馬賽克的臉也是致敬成人片

I don’t think IGN is particularly against this. The theme has little to do with their concerns.
@@freddychen629 ign didnt only the first tralier was posted 2 years ago

It's like they told AI to make an American game seen from the perspective of Japan written by China.

I am a little sad that I didn't get many of the references, but I absolutely loved the trailer. It looks like so much fun!
An actual fun looking game.
The western tripple A studios forgot how they are made.
You're absolutely right. A game should be fun before it's educational
If the game is interesting enough, then I don't mind gaining more knowledge in the game.
If a game itself comes with trying to educate the player on what is right and what is wrong, then the game has no future.
I wonder how much people are gonna buy this game day one, completely ignoring how much it's gonna cost?
I'm definitely one of them.
dev said around 30 USD
Gonna be the best game we had in years bro. They just didn't give a shit about anything. Just embrace the chaos and have fun.
Whatever those devs smoking, get me some pls

Perfect timing just woke up
And the video right below is Asmon and you side by side lets goooo you made it man
Just woke up too. This looks sick!

I haven't been this excited for a game for quote a long time,
I have a feeling this is gonna be game of the year.
Game looks awesome. The trailer was pretty much everything you're not supposed to do In A trailer in the best kind of way.
I can’t wait

This is not a trailer, this is a big middle finger to western game media and devs.
This reminds me of God Hand for playstation 2, old gem that was ovelooked
This the like if Shift Up decided to make Stellar Blade but during the entire dev cycle they put weed in the office humidifier.

What's the plugin you got two show subs in the comments?
i never knew this trailer was existed ty now im interested to play this game
I'm so glad I could share it with you! :)
not a single second wasted in this trailer 😂
Shout to sarah, LOL idk why i laughed so hard at that
This game feels like someone took Filthy Frank's skit about the weeaboos and extrapolated it to 1000, all around his imitation of the american weebs : i am cowboy tanaka .
If Frank somehow makes a comeback in 2025, that would just be perfect.
Most of the stuff shown are references and acknowledgements to Japan's 80s Popculture icons and Anime
It looks cool
This is definitely one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a while 😂
Its GAME! they put little Game in tones of MEME!
Congratz on 4k, its seems asmongolds' reaction to your vid gave you a nice boost!
Keep it up chief!
So, all humanity is assimilated into Japan, there's no racism anymore, and we fight zombies together?
This could be the greatest video game ever made.
Alternate time-line type shit!
PEAK CULTURE. ABSOLUTE KINO!
If you like this, you should play the yakuza series, or at least yakuza zero. The story is insanely good and the side quests are funny and insane
😂 2 things I'm "disappointed" in the trailer is
1. They left Miami Florida OUT!
2. They didn't put The Bullet Train, Shinkansen.
*ZERO F GIVEN: The Game*

The western guys ain’t giving goty to a Chinese made game. Just look at BMW, but whatever sales gonna be good for this game too.
it'll be massive if they do a GTA version of it..... japanese got LA, chinese got SF, mexican got san diego, white americans got vegas.....
I feel like the universe will conspire to prevent this game from being as life-changingly awesome as it has every right to be. Its like my dream game. There's no way the powers that be will allow this game to be good.
when Chinese make a game, ya know, don't miss it !!!!!! must be cool and a lots fun

This can be better that Kingsmaker. Now i need to buy PS5 or new PC.
Yeah me too -- I'm still on Windows 7 for (traditional offline single-player) gaming LOL

Hi, just spotted ur video at bilibili with 191k views..
WHAT IN THE HELL XD
It's like a Chinese copy of a Japanese TV game show smashed into Boomer-tiered Americana LOL
Whats so confusing? Read the substitle, it literally tells you the premise.

i see japanese are very satisfied
