Diving EVEN DEEPER Into The World Of Chinese PVZ Games...

Well, it looks like I'm back to covering the weird oddities of this franchise, and this video is one of the weirdest I've made. Most of these games are... questionable at best on their own, but as an entire package, it's so strange to see them all. But regardless, I hope you guys enjoy this video!
Before we move on to my normal description, I do have some things to add here. First of all, here is the initial video that I made on the Chinese games: • A Deep Dive Into The C...

i refuse to believe that these games are official

Especially the last one with the anime girls.i refuse to believe PopCap did that.I mean they gotta aim for all audiences but thats maybe the one they shouldnt have looked into

Me to, plus i swear i have seen PvZ2: world in the Apple App Store.

[@JoseViktor4099]

​​@@justashinyfueococo5239 Be aware that PopCap has a lot of extensions. The best example must be PopCap Shangai, which was the main delevoper of PvZ 2 Chinese version currently delevoped by TalkWeb. While technicaly the original PopCap has the rights to the entire PvZ2, they aren't too aware of what happening to their chinese games. That why some things in this games differ that much, including anime girls

There was an augmented reality game made spesifically to promote a crossover event in pvz all stars with a real life musician. The only thing I know is that you could make a low polly zombified version of that musician just appear in irl places. Idk what it did but the existence of it is just batshit insane to me.

I'm not all that bothered by the PVZ Gjinka. What I am bothered by is how those girl forms are completely out of scale.

[@FoxMan_FF]

I'm actually morbidly curious to know more about PvZ: Evolve. Like, if they put that much effort into turning one plant into an anime woman, then surely there's _more,_ right...? On second thought, perhaps it's better to let it stay buried in the depths of the internet.

I also have PvZ 2 Tencent Edition but I can't play it since it requires some account in order to play. I'd imagine that it has some offline functionality since it is PvZ2 afterall but I'm not sure.

[@SylviaYSI]

Hey fun fact, the one with the plant girls are actually plagiarizing some mods from fans. The quality control of this franchise carried by a singular game nowadays (in china and elsewhere) is quite wonderful.

Played PVZ2 Chinese back in 2016, loved that version on my iPad, the only thing I hate is how the audio is somehow worse than the international.

PvZ 2 China's audio sounds like it's from a Flash game in the early 2000's, but ten times more crusty, lmao.

this implies PvZ2 international has bad audio tho. It don't.

Some of this PVZ games, I can somewhat understand that they exist but PVZ2 Evolve???, I don't think I would believe its an official game, ok so it turns most of the plants into their female versions I guess but looking at this game alone without any information would make you think this must be a mod but in reality, its an actual official game, not even a fangame or anything, man this pvz rabbit hole is deeper than any rabbit hole that Ive encountered, anyways great video,I did watch the first part and I was already in a familiar road since I knew this games existed but in this second part, I didn't even knew this games existed or I didn't even knew there were more of this wierd games..

I don't remember the game name or if it was covered last time, but there was one I'm pretty sure I got off of the Baidu app store for android (possibly a yt video description dl link) where the game was something like you had 3 rows and when you placed down plants, they would move right until they fought a zombie moving left. I don't recall much about it other than I'm pretty sure you won by getting to the other side. Pretty basic gameplay loop but was decent enough for me back in the day when my sense of quality control was like that of a drunken toddler for what a good mobile game was.

2:13 That's pretty weird considering that most of premium plants in pvz2 china are free.
