Black Myth Wukong

[MarvelFan]

Anyone else take a notice on this game?


The graphic is looking super good and clear. It is truly a next generation looking game. This is definitely game that I will play when it is released.

I am glad there is a game based on the tale of "Journey to the West" again.

*for information,
the Buddhism mythical creature, 孫悟空 (Sun Wukong (pronounce in Chinese)/ Son Goku (pronounce in Japanese) is the inspiration for Toriyama Akira-sensei when he is making the famous Dragon Ball character, Son Goku.

It looks like the future of gaming! Super smooth graphiXs!

I have seen the footage, and it looks amazing. Exactly the kind of game I love. I just still have my doubts it is ever actually finished or comes out.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, the footage is just concept footage. No way, if the game actually gets made, will it look like that.

It has apparently been played. I think IGN China said they played it, not sure. Gives me some hope.

 

[Iceman]

Certainly very nice to look at.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Do we dare to dream?

 

[psylockolussus]

It looks great!

More goodness:

Needs a block/parry function. And them only showing boss battles has me thinking they're overcompensating for the rest of the game being inadequate. Its pretty tho.

It has a dodge function.

They are showing the bosses because it's a Souls-like game. The bosses are the selling point.

They still need to show theyve got a quality world and material to connect those moments. Like From Software's games.

Based on the demo the dodge alone isnt adequate. Needs blocking or parry.

They do. They have shown moving around the world, and the usual combat. They have release like 25 mins of video. Have you just not watched it all?

What do you base that on? In many of the Souls games you can't block worth ****, and it is more then adequate.

How Black Myth: Wukong Developer’s History of Sexism Is Complicating its Journey to the West - IGN

For an indie studio that has only released mobile titles within China, this widespread acclaim over Black Myth: Wukong is a largely unprecedented feat, particularly for a game that has not been released yet. But beneath the luster of this souls-like, Game Science is plagued by claims of sexism.

www.ign.com

Most recently, a technical artist from Game Science, Daiwei, suggested in a post on Zhihu (the Chinese equivalent of social question-and-answer website Quora) that a female character from Black Myth: Wukong—known as the snake spirit—can be *********ed to by “looking at her more”. “Although I’m not used to the snake neck, I can still nurture that fetish,” he adds. The comment, which was posted in the wake of the release of Black Myth: Wukong’s Gamescom trailer in August 2023, has since been deleted.

Yikes!

-edit- Oh... The M-word is censored here?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well after years of waiting, don't think I can actually play this one. At least not at full price:

 

[Gee]

Game crossed out from my list since that IGN article.

Plenty of Souls-likes and Sun Wukong media out there not created by toxic/problematic people.

Wait what?
So if you stream it or so, you cant talk about stuff like a lack of Female representation or so?
You are not allowed to for some reason talk about Covid?

Wut? What kind of nonsense is this?

I think the COVID stuff is tied to the company being Chinese. Which you know, far. A lot of racism tied up in that.

The "feminist propaganda" is tied to the article Gee mentioned from IGN. A lot of stuff from the companies past came to light. Even if you believe some of it was mistranslated, not great. And this reinforces it.

 

[Iceman]

My backlog is way too big to be tempted in spite of this. Give it a few years and see where we're at.

I'm having hard time frankly understanding why exactly. This game looks like just another one of these. Maybe it's a me problem lol

 

[psylockolussus]

Iirc, this had a lot of hype/buzz for several years now.

I've only watched a small glimpse of the walk through. Its not for me, but those graphics are top notch based from the videos I saw.

It's definitely a me thing then. Triple A visuals do absolutely nothing for me these days
