Other than the stealth feature and the tail, it doesn't look very much like the F-22 at all. It resembes a F/A-18 as much as an F-22: look at the area between its wings and intake.

Battlefield 2 has the Su-30, but they put J-10s to count the F-15s and F-35s.
What happened to the Su-27s ?

those things are basicly f-22/f-18 rip offs. there are more pics of j-xx, which usually are jsf rip offs or mig 144 rip offs.
there is a pic of a design of the j-xx in sinodefence. it looks alot like those concepts.
i would hope the pla has made some decent progress on airframe design. theyv had the project for many years now...

let's see:
J-10 entered wind tunnel testing in 1993 and didn't get a prototype until 1998.
According to JDW, J-xx entered wind tunnel testing in 2003. If we use J-10's timeline, then you are looking at first prototype in 2008, pre-production in 2012 and entering service in 2015.

the j-xx shares some design traits with F/A-22 "Raptor" such as the internal carriage of its weapons. and can we really wait that long for the j-xx. its estimated that war will break out in 2020 and by then how many advancement could have been made. also how about the raptor. it would be a lot better than it is now.
Could be also a further upgrade for the PaK-Fa's little brother the LFF (iranians have the Shafagh with similar layout) Could also be a further design step on the already dead S 54/55.
