I'm no engineer, but I'm fairly ceratin that those are stealth qualities.
I'd also asked about the very finished product look of the J-20.

Really good dark paint, and improvement on riveting and paneling. Kinda like the J-10B

I still remember that when J-10 first came out, all the rivets on the body made people think the manufacturing was inferior. Now, we don't see those thing. And people are still suspicious...

Two points of interest for me:
-What's with the flight crew's uniforms?
The uniforms reminds me of the movie Tron Legacy...
Anyway, they might the special uniform for the stealth project.

From Wikipedia :
"For higher performance, it is necessary to use an iris nozzle. This type uses overlapping, hydraulically adjustable "petals". Although more complex than the ejector nozzle, it has significantly higher performance and smoother airflow. As such, it is employed primarily on high-performance fighters such as the F-14, F-15, F-16, though is also used in high-speed bombers such as the B-1B. Some modern iris nozzles additionally have the ability to change the angle of the thrust (see thrust vectoring)."

Quick question, does anybody remember that article from a week or so ago by Xinhua IIRC (not too sure) that was written shortly after the first pictures of the J-20 were taken where a government official was denying the existence of the J-20?

To date the Ace combat series has NEVER had a Chinese designed aircraft in it, not even the J-8, I doubt they'll ever start. Same with Tom Clancy's HAWX series.
Do you have a link to this?
