> So far, only looking at the trailer, I did not see anything particularly special that would differentiate it from other recent AAA games. It has absolutely crazy gorgeous graphics, games at this level do not come out often at all. It is tied into an extremely popular mythology, and one that western audiences are warming up to. It implements the popular "soulslike" genre, which is massively popular with hardcore gamers. It is VERY rare that a new franchise, from a new company, in a niche genre is released with this level of graphical fidelity and polish. Everything EA and Ubisoft and Sony produce these days, who are mostly responsible for the high-fidelity games made recently, is copy-paste open world collect-a-thon bullshit for a casual audience. This game is well designed, has good word of mouth, and is cool! And yes: people in SEA are interested because it is an implementation of one of THEIR popular stories, as opposed to another Tolkien rehash. And it is super cool! Kung fu is cool!
