Everstone Games has launched the closed beta phase for Where Winds Meet. And, since the beta does not come with any NDA, you can find below a video showcasing over three hours gameplay footage from it.
Where Winds Meet is a new third-person open-world game featuring action, adventure, and martial arts. From what I’ve seen, this feels like a mix between Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin’s Creed. So yeah, I’m kind of excited about it.
Since this is gameplay from a closed beta build, it does not represent the quality of the final product. Still, it can give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it if you are remotely interested in it.
In Where Winds Meet, you’ll play as a hero shaped by chaos, embarking on a chivalrous journey filled with danger and battles. You will also be able to expand your skills to boost your chances of survival. For example, you can become a lifesaving doctor, a wealth-gaining merchant, or even explore ancient Kaifeng City as an NPC.
Combat in Where Winds Meet will be a key part, with Wuxia skills, attacks, and counterattacks playing a major role. You’ll be able to even use a Tai chi skill to turn the enemy’s attacks back onto himself. According to the devs, you’ll have the freedom to define your combat style.
The game also promises to pack a free construction system with 600 authentic antique components and an environment system. These will allow players to interact with the whole world. Oh, and since this is an open-world title, you can expect to enjoy some beautiful wide vistas.
For what it’s worth, I really like what I see in this trailer. And, although there is no ETA on when the game will come out, I’m looking forward to it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

On a completely unrelated side note, I had no idea that Xbox 360 emulation was so good.
I tried for months to make some PS3 games run well with no success, and I wasted so much time cos I didn’t know that the Xenia emulator could already run hundreds of games perfectly.
And it has like 90% of the PS3 library. So, what’s the point of the PS3 anyway, besides a few exclusives which we can live without? (the Uncharted games)
Unlike RPCS3, Xenia can run games almost instantly, no “PPU compiling” bullshit during hours or anything like that, and way less graphical bugs.
It’s not even comparable, and runs almost as fast as good old PCSX2 or Dolphin.
With a few exceptions, games look as good, even sometimes better than on PS3.
Also, I didn’t know that the PS3 was almost as hard to develop for as the Sega Saturn. A true nightmare, they say. (this is one of the reasons that despite being more powerful than the Xbox 360, most games didn’t even exploit the true PS3 power and games weren’t that impressive)
No wonder emulation isn’t even remotely close to the Xbox 360. PS3 SUCKS! Maybe we’ll be able to play it comfortably in 2040.
Here I come, Virtua Fighter 5, Top Spin 4, and Forza Horizon 2!
Sorry, that was my off-topic daily emulation news!😁
Oh, I forgot to mention: Use Xenia CANARY, not the regular Xenia.
Xenia Canary with game patches is amazing! Been using it for a year now…
Yeah it’s great I used it to play through red dead redemption and the dlc.
The ATi GPU of the Xbox 360 is actually quite a bit better than NVIDIA’s GPU inside the PS3.
And a reason why emulation of it is easier to reverse-engineer is because open-source code within the Linux kernel exists for Qualcomm’s Adreno 200 mobile GPU, which is closely related to ATi’s Xenos GPU within the Xbox 360.
(Adreno is an anagram of Radeon.)
The very talented Russian developer behind the GPU emulation of the Xbox 360 has written a very lenghty blog post about it.
Here’s the relevant excerpt:

Looks like something that a t4nny would play.
Too asian for me
