>unreal engine
holy shit it looks good
Fuck off, chink shill
I am here to seethe about China and derail every single thread about this game.
it really looks great, hope they deliver.
If they do it's a solid goty contender.
how downgraded is this shit going to get?
Looks alright. I just hope it eill have non-chinese VA option, because I can't stand how it sounds.
i sincerely hope the final product is as good as this trailer.
I hope not much. Combat also looks a bit tedious if the regular enemies are going to be sponges. But transformations and clones look awesome.
man I wish this game were made by a different studio so people wouldn't just instantly seethe about it. The trailer is amazing and if they pull it off it's going to be great.
Even Bright Memory Infinite with a much smaller budget managed to get Japanese seiyuus
I bet it will have english dubs.
will it release on consoles? if yes, massively so.
It's not about Journey to the West. It's specifically a sequel showing how the actual Son Wukong has been replaced by the Six Eared Monkey who disguises himself as Wukong to earn the right to be a Buddha and perpetuate the ultimate rival to all the heavens who refused to bow before them had been forced to kneel.
The Wukong with the Iron Needle at the end of the gameplay preventing protag!Wukong isn't the real Wukong, he's the imposter mentioned before.
It's called "Black Myth" because it's meant to discuss the controversial angle of Wukong's life and how his tale isn't a proud adventure, it's a tragedy of how the free spirit of man can be crushed by postmodern dogma when forced to fight alone. Tencent really did not like this game and kept trying to change shit, that's why it's taken years to develop.
Why the fuck can't Zig Forums pick out shills like this anymore?
Yall really trusting this chink shit, aint ya?
>6:35
>all those enemies attacking at the same time
holy shit
They said they want it on mainstream consoles and maybe even Stadia. They probably mean both PS4 and Xbone and not just next gen ones. If that's the case they'll just cap the FPS to 30 on current gen ones.
This is the dumbest word salad I have ever read. Chinks really have no culture.
you're just as bad
>China
lolno
The attention to detail regarding The Monkey King here is admirable and worth applauding.
>Sheaths his staff by shrinking it, and placing it in his ear
>His mastery of various transformations
>His cloning technique
>His war against heaven itself, and the various armies of the immortals.
>His flying cloud
But what of the story? Is this the tale of Sun Wukong after he was defeated by the holy Buddha? His rise to become immortal and best the gods? Or is this the tale of one of his clones gone rogue as the stinger suggests?
the old man reminds me of the agent in 獣兵衛忍風帖
wish that had a game too
isn't that a dangerous thing to do in china? People have been genocided for far less (light exercising and meditating, aka falun gong).
>like game
>"sh-shill!!!"
this is why people just post wojaks
Or it could just be the game adapt the part about Sun Wukong fight his double.
He's not a clone. The Six Eared Macaque was born of the same rock as Wukong. He's just as strong and capable as him.
I'll break it down into laconics:
>Monkey = mankind
>Monkey fight off all gods and becomes independent
>No matter how hard he fights and how long he stays free, he is inevitably made into a Buddha (e.g. forced to kowtow to China-approved religion)
>Game plot says "No he didn't, he was replaced by this other monkey, the real one would never give up, this is what happens next"
>Chink government publisher does not like chink developer going against narrative
Yes. The fact it's getting released means they likely either found a fuckton of loopholes related to cultural preservation to keep the plot mostly in tact, or they're getting outside investments now. But the plot looks largely the same as it was in old promotional shit from years ago.
Sun Wukong's chinese noises are literal kino though. I never thought about it but the chinese language is perfect to synchronize a monkey.
Isn't this about a guy who turns into a monke? Kinda kino.
Wukong is actually a rock who turns into a monkey.
based devs, I hope they don't get organ harvested.
it's about a rock that turns into a monke
Dude, the book was written when Buddhism started to come into China. Like the story is about a monk who travel to India to find a better Buddism script. It is about how Buddhism is way better than Taoism
So the imposter ape took office in heaven and effectively replaced Wukong so the immortals wouldn’t look bad to mortals?
Except he's pretty clearly disguised as Wukong this time. In the original story, the Six-Eared Macaque outright looks different.
What's the CCP take on this? I thought they hate Chinese culture?
the game that started a new era of gaming
Buddhism is also the current pro-China religion. The story's been twisted for a very long time, and they actively use a manipulated narrative where it seems like Wukong's inevitable rebellion against postmodern dogma failing is a good thing.
the new CCP has embraced chinese culture. it was mao that hated it.
We don't know which monkey survived, the author kinda left that up to interpretation.
The game looks fucking amazing
I’m just worried that the story is gonna suck because the writers are afraid of offending the ccp
No blood
No skeletons
No rebellion
No Winnie the Pooh
No authoritarian enemy figure
No cleavage
No showing anything in the Chinese cultural cosmology in a negative light
No solo heroes because individualism is bad
No whatever the fuck else is banned in Chinese story telling
Looks great tho ngl
It's a PC release but they said they are targeting consoles at a later date.
Winnie the Pooh is pro-Chinese Culture now, and the typical mainlander opinion was the Cultural Revolution was fucking retarded. They're making a lot of efforts to preserve old Chinese history for both propaganda and archival reasons.
No, they look the same. That the point, no one can tell them apart except for the Buddha but the Buddha just guilt trip the fake one into admitting his wrong doing.
You should read up about Xi and what he did when he got into office.
One thing I noticed right off is that many environment models and a lot of sounds are ripped from other games straight, as in not even modified at all
A few are the dark souls 3 bow sound, then there's a lot of sounds and models stolen from sekiros senpu temple etc
>chink souls
I hope it flops for good.
>PC release
thank God
I wish that every chink burns to hell and get wiped off the face of earth.
Forgive me, I only read Journey to The West up until Wukong was tricked by the Buddha, unable to leap from his palm. But am I correct? Is this 6 eared ape an imposter attempting to supplant Wukong’s legacy and encourage conformity?
t. Filtered by souls games
Is it mandarin or cantonese?
I dont remember that much the difference between those two but I am more comfortable with cantonese because I grew up with cantonese movie.
RETURN TO MONKY
Learn what royalty free stock sounds are you cretin.
is this guy the clone (you)?
I want him to be the story narrator though
I hope this isn't open world.
But whatever, this is basically a recruitment video, the game won't be out until 2025 at the earliest and by then the CCP will probably have stepped in and ruined everything
All you need is some monke in your life
Dumb mutt.
He's more than likely the Buddha of this plot, given he's the one explaining everything.
KEK. Chinese = bad, non ironically.
See, there actually 3 more monkeys like Wukong. After Wukong have a massive fallout with the group one of the monkey jealous with Wukong and want to take his place on the Journey. They are evenly match and no one can tell them apart except for the Buddha. The Buddha basically tell both that the fake one know he fake and should feel ashamed about it so the fake one just off himself out of shame.
Fuck Chinks, Fuck Niggers, Fuck Winnie the Pooh
It is never coming out. It is a scam to get investors money.
I will shitpost every single thread of this shit until it flops.
They already said they have the funding. They just want more manpower.
worth a pirate
That doesn’t really answer my question
God bless you brother
Ah yes of course, sekiro was also made with such royalty free models and sounds, and is completely open source too
Japs are bending over to chinks nowadays mutt-kun
Is this the story about the monkey guy banging the dragon girl?
YOU BUY OUR SOULS CLONE NOW
YOU MUST BUY OUR GAME
IT FUN WE PROMISE
BUY GAME NOW SIRRY AMERICAN BOY
>and sounds
Yeah, every dev uses royalty free sounds.
You're such a demented, illiterate fucking cuck lmao

Basically the writer never said which one is the real one, just say one feel ashamed and off himself so some later interpretation said that it was the real Wukong that off himself out of something.
It's so tiring.
Nah. He's 100% right.
always thought chinese sounds like ass but I must admit it's pretty based when it's an old sage talking
Based
There's some interesting ideas in there, but I don't actually trust some literal who Chinese developer not to fumble and fuck up. The trailer, like you said, already shows off some of the weak points.
>Graphical downgrades almost inevitable
>Tedious combat with regular enemies
>Boss health pools were clearly programmed to get chunked at set points for the trailer
>Transformation visually look good but seem overpowered
>Still don't know if they're trying to ape the Souls games design or if they're aiming for something much more linear
>CCP censorship will remove any teeth or grit from the game despite its art style clearly aiming for it
>Chinese storytelling
>It's fucking Chinese so fuck giving them money
I'm also disappointed that there doesn't seem to be much verticality to the combat despite who you're playing as.
As things stand now the game just sort of reminds me of some sort of fucked up blend between Dark Souls, the newer God of War, and those Lords of Shadow Castlevania games.
Black Myth: wakanda
Whatever you find convenient to believe, doesn't really change reality
No proper developer uses any stock material with no modification, and for multiple reasons that common sense dictate
We don't even know if this game will be localized for the west on launch. They're primarily making this for Chinese audiences. They even licensed the old Journey to the West opening theme.
The armor of liquid kong looks so good.
Listen I love monke but this game is years away. Do we really need so many threads about it?
You’re still not understanding the question I asked; was the purpose of the false ape in the narrative to hijack Wukong’s legacy and basically tell the reader to conform/accept Buddhism?
