- I woke up my mom on a Sunday morning so that she can react to the trailer for Black Myth: Wukong for your entertainment.
Since she's Chinese, she also explains a little bit of the story of "Journey to the West" and adds her insight.
*Apologies in advance for the audio. We tried our best.

I am glad you reacted to this and shared your knowledge of the inspiration. I've seen a lot of people react to this who can recognize aspects from anime but don't know that this is where a lot of them came from. 💖
Thank you for the kind comment! We felt it was important for people interested in this game to know the source of inspiration for so much of the anime/games/media out there!
@@sistershu4881 There's youtube channel that explains the story of the Journey to the west. It was set up very funny and such, but an easy search of 'Journey to the west story' will easly show the channel I'm talking about. Dunno if this is of interest?
@@kinagrill What's the channel called?
@@sistershu4881 Overly Sarcastic Productions - I found them when I wanted to learn more about JttW and searched for 'journey to the west explained'.... their part 1 video was the first one on the top. Got hooked ever since on watching the series again and again, from time to time.
@@kinagrill Nice--thank you!!
I'm a Vietnamese and i cried when i heard that music, it reminds me of my childhood. It's such a shame that most of reactor don't know this legendary music
The music is so epic!!!! I agree--I wish more people reacting could have recognized the music--such a classic!
@Akin Khoo 1986 ver is the best, and of course, it's good to put ads into it until now
Someone please reference me to where I can read/watch the OG Wukong story as well as the music. I want in on the hype of the lore!

Rafika 1337 it was made in 1986. Production may be bad for you.
I was waiting for her to recognise the song at the end, this song literally links Chinese poeple together
One of the most iconic songs out there! Wish more people recognized it!
As a Vietnamese and Chinese mixed, I grew up on the story. I've watch every adaptations and the 1986 and 1996 versions hold near and dear to my heart. I choked and cried when I saw the trailer and heard the music. Very nostalgic and legendary. Dragonball, Naruto, beasts anime can be traced to this character. He is the strongest immortal, aside from buddha and guan yin goddess themselves. He is the One and only true Monkey King!!!
Glad the epic is finally getting its own game and people around the world can learn more about Chinese culture and mythology! :)
Hello! I am from Argentina and I am glad to see people from China reacting to a game with a traditional theme from those lands, as it helps me to know a little more.
Finally the first youtuber who recognized the awesome music.
Such a shame that so many people didn't lol! Smh...
Only Asians kid know these amazing things. Like childhood come true.
I was born in Ghana (West Africa) and was fortunate enough to see the show, although I didn't understand a lot of what was being said... I still enjoyed watching it... Nearly teared up when I heard the music haha
I'm Indonesian and I love this "Journey to the west" story so much, I used to watch it on tv when I was a kid. Sun Wukong is just amazing, he is so famous in eastern countries, even in anime like Dragon ball, God of highschool and many more but sadly not much people knows about him, like the very orginal of Sun wukong. But it's still awesome to be able to see it again in 2020 in a game especially, gonna get this quick! 😆
This woman is so cute! I really enjoyed her reaction to this amazing game. She is absolutely right. Sun Wukong is the best Hero's Journey story ever.
I remember Sun Wukong making a cameo on a children's game called Lex Bookworm Adventures. These two games recompiled many stories, myths and characters from different cultures. I played it when I was a kid and remember pretty much all of it.
The game was divided into "books" with ten chapters each.
First book was about Greek myth
Second book was about Egypt myths and stories,
Third book was about classic horror literature and characters (Frankenstein, werewolves, the mummy, etc)
Fourth book was about stories for young children (Alice in wonderland, Little red riding hood, etc)
Fifth book was about eastern myths (Monkey king, mythical animals that I almost remember, the Four Symbols, etc)
And the fifth one was about Sci-Fi stories.
I played those games when I was ~8 and replaed them again with my grandmother at my side who explained to me what the creatures in those games really were.
I recognised the main character from this game the moment the gameplay trailer began. I'm very happy to see content about this story since it reminds me of my grandmother. It's hard to say this tale marked my life but that might be true.
Sorry for my english, I come from latin america, Spanish is my main language.
Wow, that sounds like such a cool game!!!
I discovered Sun Wukong back in 2012 when I was 17 years of age. Journey To The West is a legendary story that people should read, plus the music in the beginning made me smile 😊
Finally someone that recognized the music
It is cool to see a chinese reacting to this game, she has the very needed explanations we would like to see ^^ I will read Journey to the West surely, this game made me very curious. It is hard to find oriental literature here, but not impossible ^^
2:52 Acutally in the original work, Wukong's staff is described as "having the diameter of a bowl"(碗口粗) after he shrunk it down from the original pillar-size, so the size of the staff in this game is actually more faithful to the story.
In most existing portrayals of Wukong, he uses a staff that's around 3cm in diameter, most likely due to it being the common size in traditional martial arts. This way in the live-action TV show, the actor can realistically wield it and perform stunts; and the many different animation series also mostly used this size probably because it's easier to find real-life references to draw from.
However, this being a game, they can just mocap an actor holding a standard 3cm staff, and then replace it with a thicker one in the game engine, which is pretty great aspect of modern technology.
So even shrunk down, the staff is still absurdly big.
best reaction so far, ive watch journey to the west as a kid love it
Great video! Need the next part!
Ahh now I know why he had that headache towards the end of the video. It’s nice to have some insight
I’ve been raving about this game since i saw this trailer last month. This was my favorite reaction to it by far. While basically everyone recognized that this looks incredible, only a few seemed to truly appreciate the depth of the mythology that is at play here
Finding common ground through games always feels nice thx for reacting to this
TY for watching!
I am Brazilian and the gamers here were surprised and impressed with the quality of the game. I hope it does not suffer a downgrade. As happened with Watch Dogs and Anthem.
Você é Brasileiro? Legal! Abraços! We also hope that the quality of the game that comes out matches what we've been seeing in the trailer :)
I found about Monkey King in a animation when I was little. There was an animated version of "Journey To The West" which aired in India. I remember it was one of the favorite shows of me and my mother. I still remember the scene where wukong tries to get out of the hand of Gautama Buddha.
This trailer-gameplay looks wonderful.
The music is beautiful!
Black Myth: Wukong is a re-creation of the epic story: "Journey To The West".
I'm in love with a Sun Wukong/ Monkey King, he is so perfect.
I waiting this game...
Thank you so much for this reaction, Sister Shu!
TY leaving a comment! :) Can't wait for this game, as well!
Oh my gosh, thank you for this. I was so sick of watching the mainstream western RUclipsrs react to this and not understanding any of the references! Since you said you don't know this story, (first time on the channel, assuming you didn't grow up in China), this trailer inspired me to translate Journey to the West into English! Happy to share if you're interested :)
Aww TY for the super kind words!!
The closest westerners will understand this game reference will be dragonballs
@@BlooOcean Exactly! It's super frustrating. Having a Chinese perspective was so refreshing.
Hope this game will be successful. I know I can't really blame them since there's not a lot of exposure about JTTW here in the west, but it's sad when some people thought Sun Wukong is Goku rip off. It's time for people to learn what inspired quite a lot of anime and manga/manhwa out there
I can't believe nobody thought to make a game out of this before. Thanks for the insight to the story.
I agree, it's about time!! We'll be making another video on Black Myth soon :)
yes i ve read the story in our side too and we also sort of have a monkey king aka Hanuman ji . the scholer who came to india it seems he went to southern india to find the scriptures and successfully went back to china
For those who are young (child, teenager or young adult) they will see things that will remind them of the Dragon Ball anime and the movie The Forbidden Kingdom (Jack Chan and Jet Li).
Absolutely! Agreed--would be great for audiences to know more about the myth that is the source of inspiration for so many anime series, books, movies, etc.
Yeah 😂😂😂 now it will be "God of highschool" the anime. I love the monkey. Now i cant get enough of this story. Very insightful
2024年看到了这个视频，给中国宝妈一点提示。
1.这个游戏其实还是故事驱动的，只是最近几年动作角色扮演游戏的形式比较火热所以做成了ARPG，看游科发布的其中一个蜘蛛精的实机片段就可有所体会，当然，不知道游科是否有设计机制从而让不习惯游玩动作游戏的玩家可以体会游戏的精彩故事。
2.游戏取名黑神话也表示是基于西游记进行的改编创作。他们之前有一部游戏作品《斗战神》就是一种西游记的改编，他们做的非常成功，斗战神是2016年左右国内十分爆火的一款俯视角动作游戏，这个游戏基于对西游记不同的理解讲述了很多背后的动人故事。然而当游戏开发到白骨精之后，腾讯因为投资赚不到钱而改变了策略使得游戏质量断崖下跌，当时玩家都在言：白骨之后，再无西游! 这部实机片段最后的“白骨之后，重走西游！”便是对这一内容的回应。目前的这部作品是斗战神主创团队自己成立工作室--游戏科学 重新制作的另外一部基于西游记的作品，背景是西游完成很多年后，其故事和西游记、斗战神都不同。
3.游戏目前已经定档2024年8月20号正式发售，感兴趣的话可以关注一波。
4.游戏科学之前有提到会将黑神话做成三部曲的形式，这一部是悟空，另外两部主题未透漏。苦于中国国内糟糕的游戏开发环境，作为科班大厂出身的游戏科学团队，已经被视为中国国内3A单机游戏崛起的标杆，这部作品是具有里程碑意义的，目前已经在国内互联网具有极高热度，你可以在国内网站--哔哩哔哩检索到很多百万播放的猜测黑神话讲述故事的视频。
这个游戏比较贴合原著 这也是原著里比较有争议的地方 就是在真假猴王和三打白骨那 到底去取经的是六耳还是悟空 有人说白骨之后悟空出走便死了 而六耳自愿带上緊箍护唐僧取经一去一回 便不是一个人 也有说真假猴王的时候悟空就被六耳取代。而现实中玄奘法师 西行带的行者其实是一个长毛脸雷公嘴的强盗 被教化 这些都是争议的地方 所以游戏里一开始的老者形象很真实 像猴子但是人 而神话部分游戏里真假美猴王 最后那个如意金箍棒 。而六耳的武器叫随心铁杆兵。一共三猴子 一个是现实 一个是真猴王 一个小六耳 而佛教 修行又有斩三尸的说法 一善 一恶 一六欲 所以有人说其实他们就是一个 只是分出的分身。 这个游戏的故事应该是从比较有争议的这些里面去杜撰一个新的故事。 我也只能说说我的看法 不喜勿喷
说的不错，但是对于其实我个人理解依旧是悟空本人，但是六耳猕猴由于神通和悟空无二，观音说过也是心魔和误解导致被趁虚而入。不过我个人感觉这是个颠覆性的西游记，可能三界神佛遭到颠覆，悟空可能是先走西游路，通过击败妖魔鬼怪获得真实佛法仙术，最后打上凌霄宝殿大闹天宫返璞归真恢复正统
ni hao, what a great explanation from ur mom, she has a clear intonation. where part of chia she is from?
:)
Zhejiang province I reckon.
I recently started watching the monkey King movies and now after seeing the trailer for this game I can say I'm immediately buying it 😅
I was seriously laughing like crazy when I saw the game's depiction of the Earth God xD
I'm a bit surprised you didn't comment on the appearance of a second monkey with a staff. Would love to hear your thoughts on that part.
not sure if people noticed but there's a giant heavenly deity on the right when he's fighting warriors in the clouds. I believe that is the general , the one with the pagoda in his hand that traps enemies. I believe he is also Ne Zha's father.
Oh shit!!! I swear if Ne Zha shows up this game will be AWESOME
I'm beginning to think that she's a hidden enemy if The General is her father .
@@RicardoPerez-rz8pu Despite common misconception, Ne Zha is actually a boy, but due to his eternal child like or teenage depictions as well as clothing, his gender appearance is sometimes ambiguous.
For example in his early childhood days since he was a baby, he usually wears toddler clothing where its basically a naked apron in the front. Later aged depictions show him wearing earrings and use of heavenly ribbon sash, another staple weapon aside from his Hoop Ring, flame wheels hovering below his feet, and usually his main choice of weapon, the Spear.
For some reason I keep associating Japanese Momotaro with Ne Zha since they both are associated with being born from a fruit or flower. In Ne Zha's case he was reborn from a flower after committing suicide to appease the dragon gods for angering them to the point of summoning heavy rain that would flood his town.
His father was also originally human and gained divinity/immortal deity status for some reason....The Pagoda pillar used by The General was actually a gift from Guan Ying Puzi (Boddhivista), as the father was concerned about Ne Zha's rebellious and violent streak and wished to teach his son to be more disciplined.
Also the current newest CG movie of Ne Zha has got to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen in the Chinese lore surrounding Ne Zha and Wu Kong universe....he's depicted as a demon but that was another misconception people had about him as his origin and birth is related to the heavens.
@@awesomedude2556 if they decide to let us play WuKong's origins that will most likely happen as the appearance of Er Long (Forgot if its ling or long) Shan (Man with third eye) and Ne Zha are quite staple and necessary story elements to Wu Kong's fame and rebellion against Heaven, but the clips seem to be more about switching between the view of the "two Monkey Kings". We do see the fight of WuKong vs Heaven's army, so I do hope we get to play his 'origin story' because that would be serious fanservice and exactly the gameplay we all hoped for.
I should also mention that Er Long Shan is the one who cut WuKong's tail almost in half, if not shorter in their battle of wits and strength transforming into animals and inanimate objects to outsmart each other. I don't seem to see that 'cut tail' from the WuKong in the trailer, but that's minor.
So far we only see WuKong's fights rebelling against the Heavens and the 'fake wukong' fighting what is presumed to be the aftermath of WuKong's fight with Heaven (and Wukong's downfall with his showdown with the Buddha)
It would be interesting to see what kind of story they'd tell. We do see both Monkeys meeting each other, so its amazing we even get to play between two monkeys. Makes sense for gameplay since their powers and therefore mechanics would be the same. It just weirds me out seeing the fake one having literally the same abilities. It makes me want to believe real WuKong's abilities as well as what his staff can do, makes fake wukong pale in comparison in abilities.
In Russia we dont have myths. We have сказка, сказание, былина. They based on words 'telling' and 'to be'.
This means that you cannot fantsy something that was not real. Its real and happened but in very ancient times. Maybe not on the physical plane. Astral or mental, if we talk about heaven and underworld
That's so interesting!!
Nice!
Thank you mss🙏 to leet this people know where this beauty oh legend came from. So now you know where dragon ball came on
老外看这游戏视频都是一惊一乍的，这位妈妈看得就很淡定。
It’s good to know they aren’t very accurate which could make it better
THX~~~ NICE
三年時間就成天仙
谢谢！
you remind me of my mom...
What is the name of the music used in the game that we hear in this demo?
You mean the song at the end?
@@sistershu4881 yes.

央视tv版才是美化改编的 这个才接近小说真实的西游记 还有这个游戏是发生在西天取经过后吧！
是的，电视剧美化严重，这也是没办法的。你的这个猜测属于其中之一，我觉得是正统西游记的妖魔黑暗化版本
what is that music ur mom was talking about
This one! ruclips.net/video/_KRl_pLl4vo/видео.html&ab_channel=newtututube

the original theme song of journey to the west 1986, you can find it on youtube, and funny remixes as well, but this is the best remaster of the song I ever heard, it's so modernly epic and strong lol,i think they will release the full OST list, and it's gonna be DOPE
@@baqikenny I agree, this new rendition in the game is amazing...
呀，中国妈妈！
西游记在中国是一个妇孺皆知的故事，每个中国孩子童年时都爱看的电视剧。因为那个年代技术、经济落后，而西游记是极少数有特效的魔幻电视剧，所以没得选，但满足了我们的幻想：每个孩子心中都有一个当齐天大圣的梦。（即便我30多岁了）
孙悟空的脸常被妖怪说成是毛脸雷公嘴。而手上的棍子叫如意金箍棒，全宇宙只有一根！当棍子上的如意金箍棒五个字出现，是个中国长大的孩子都会激动得眼睛湿润，因为真正的齐天大圣出现了！而最后的片尾曲是电视剧的主题曲，升华了中国孩子的童年回忆！
这游戏demo还原了西游记中的孙悟空能力如变化之术（变身为虫、妖），定身法，毫毛分身，筋斗云; 熟知的人物如土地公，大鹏鸟，小白龙，四大天王;著名的大闹天宫场景。把那些心中的想象画面全部表现出来了（有些比电视剧还原得更接近书中的描述），这才引起了我们这些“孩子”的共鸣。可惜还要等上好几年才能玩上。
@@needlewang8619 还有土地公，我觉得游戏里面的比电视剧更符合原著。土地公就是个
人参精修炼成仙，还是悟空的御用导航。
@@user-ws7jh6ch5z 确实，地仙应该从山间野林的奇珍异兽取材更符合当地的特点。

I notice your mom has a southern accent, is she Fu Jian by any chance?
Good guess! We're from Guizhou :)
我不是中国，那我是什么？哈哈哈哈 太可爱了
我想纠正一下不是印度 是古印度
Ahh yes the Black Myth setup. What if the story told is not the true one... or maybe the one told in the game is also just mere fiction? It's an interesting take on usual mythologies.
Perhaps this is the first Sun Wukong, who was a lot more vicious, before he was replaced by a shapeshifting lookalike with a lighter heart. Or it was before he learned how to become more fun-loving after many hardships. It depends on which this version of the story this one is, I guess.
It's an original take on Journey to the West, and thus, The Monkey King. Perhaps it's part of his character growth throughout the story.
这个棒才是还原原著。。。 小时候看电视剧 要不是经费有限 要不就是演员耍起来不方便。。。科普一个知识 何为棒。棒一定是俩边粗中间细。 电视剧里的充其量叫棍子 不符合原著
沙和尚=Sandy 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
😂😂😂😂😂笑死了我要哈哈哈哈没毛病啊
Honestly shocked you didn't know... did ya get assimilated into western culture?
真正的孙悟空就差不多是这样子的！
这游戏里的孙悟空才接近小说里的孙悟空，电视那些是美化过的了😄
Unfortunately you mother didn't recognize or react to most of the famous scenes, characters, lores and anecdotes which are the true gems developer carefully put in the trailer. Seems like she only remembers the general storyline, but has forgotten a lot of the details.
