Multiplatform Black Myth: Wukong

Alright, we got another short trailer to look at.


We'll most likely see another trailer at the Summer Games Fest next month, with pre-orders etc. I am hyped, though. This has been (more than) 4 years in the making!

Forgot their was a thread for this. Posted the trailer in the PlayStation thread. Really looking forward to this. Hopefully the Chinese shut down the criticism that we can't trust what they make since they've only done mostly mobile stuff. Recently, South Korea has made Lies of P and Stellar Blade and both were great so I'm hoping this is China's turn.

We've all heard about the horrors of phone manufacturing in China.. can you imagine the crunch for game development?

Has there been ps5 footage yet? I really can’t wait for this. Supposedly there’s a preorder trailer coming on the 9th during game fest

Looks like the game was delayed on Xbox only. I think we all know this is once again a Series S issue.

Xbox version has been delayed without a release date. Safe to assume Series S is messing things up again. Who the fuck made a decision to release a console that weak? This is BG3 all over again.

This trailer didn’t show much but I thought it was awesome. This is really gearing up for a potential GOTY if they can pull it off.

Looks great, my only concern is how it is going to look on PS5. Don't think we've seen any console footage yet.

Most likely going to preorder. I've heard positive things from all the previews.

Kind of crazy how these Chinese video games were called fake not too long ago and now both Wukong and Phantom Blade 0 are not only real but getting a lot of praise.

Sorry I missed your message from a while back. China is a weird place. Obviously the working conditions in those factories are atrocious but then you have your office jobs that are actually more reasonable than South Korea and Japan's work culture. Almost all jobs in China take a break for 2 to 3 hours in the middle of the day. The employees just sleep on the floor during that period. There's no pressure to go out and drink with your colleagues after work. In Japan, you really can't have much of a family life if you are an office worker. Every weekend you're pressured into going to bars and restaurants and if you don't you can forget about any type of promotion.

It's best to think of China as two countries. One is the rural part which is basically a shithole and very undeveloped still. The other is the urban areas which in all honesty is nicer than the majority of American cities that I've been to. Suburban areas basically don't exist. Most people live in big cities and then the rest in rural areas. Most factories are in the rural areas so I guess they have crappier work conditions as a result.

I spent time living in both China and Japan and I found Chinese employees to be happier overall.

Probably will be game of the year. Looking forward to playing

Looks alright, but I worry that the Souls-like genre is getting a bit over-saturated and played out. Reminds me of the "open world sandbox" craze, when every studio was trying to make the next GTA.

 

[Zazen]

Is there any PS5 footage out there yet? I'll be honest, I'm nervous. I hope we don't have a Cyberpunk 2077 situation here. What I mean by that is they showed zero console footage up until the day of release. To nobody's surprise it ran like absolute shit on consoles. I really hope that's not the case here because I'm super excited for this game. I'll be waiting on my preorder until we get some sort of confirmation on resolution and performance modes.

This honestly sounds like just a basic action game (DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta) and not much souls like. Doesn't seem to be to hard not real consequences from dying. At that point it's just an action game.

With so many unprovens for this project from individual developers up, this is a 100% do not preorder game. Real talk. This was in the vaporware pile up until recently, even. Fence-sit the launch and then decide. My opinion. I think as gamers, we're an enthusiastic bunch; we need curb that enthusiasm sometimes more than others.

The good thing is the previews were pretty positive. So if anything we just have to wait a bit to let them iron out some bugs.

That's a viable take, by all means. Just don't preorder. I can count the number of developer houses who've earned the faith of a preorder on one bloodied hand.
