I’m keeping my expectations in check, but I hope this game turns out to be as fun as it looks. Can’t wait to play “Journey to the West” the video game.
there's a game called Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, which is exactly what it sounds like, but in a more futuristic setting. Player movement and level design in that game is kind of hit or miss, but I liked the story and combat so I say it's worth checking out if you're looking to scratch that "journey to the west" itch ;)
I love how not only his body leaves tracks in the snow, but also his staff whereas in other games your weapon will normally just clip through the environment. Great attention to detail here.
For me, the snow displacement looks a little off, like his feet and staff push too much snow for how they move. I just hope it doesn’t cost efficiency for the look. Looking forward to see the end product though because maybe they’ll work on that.
@@danielantony1882 lol I made a criticism and you just jumped into the fray like I offended you somehow g, calm down. Other games doing a worse job doesn’t mean you can’t criticize this one. I would personally rather prefer more simple and less precise snow displacement than the current overly-sensitive displacement because it looks a lot more strange imho. Again, maybe they’ll fix it and just had to leave it as is atm due to the swap to new hardware or whatever.
To be honest, as a Chinese, I really expect this game, I just wish they could take their time and make the final version 100% as same as their trailers. If they done that , that means hell a lot for Chinese game market. Cuz main market of Chinese game are mobile games and most of them are shit. We just want some real shit from China. And I hope some big game companies won’t destroy game science and black myth. Some companies like Tencent is starting to buy their developers, when I hear that , I’m really angry, how can you destroy a meaningful and historical Chinese game for your own good , that’s fking terrible.
Sadly, mobile games make a lot of money. So Tencent is hellbent on controlling chinese entertainment through them, and if their own predatory monetization doesn't get them enough, they will buy out your company, slander you, or even worse. Anything to eliminate competition.
That’s not true. Tencent invested 5% into the company, not buy them over. If anything, this investment and partnership has helped Game Science gain deeper access to Unreal Engine 5.. I know there’s a lot of politicking going on with Big Tech in China right now but they do a lot of good in the grand scheme of things. If I were the owner of Game Science I’d jump on such an opportunity too.
This game is looking way too promising, I hope it comes out the way they are showing it off but I'm definitely going to be skeptical until release which is about 3+ years out I'm guessing
@@Kessekom Well it’s using an engine that currently doesn’t exist so that could be why it looks off but the graphics are probably the most believable part it’s a game built for the most powerful consoles and pc’s to date
Then Koei will be bankrupt jk lol. Yeah Game Science should really make their own Three Kingdoms game or even a franchise it's their history. Koei a Japanese company really be banking off of Chinese history and mythology so that's problematic. It is time for a China company to make a worthy Three Kingdoms game not that mobile shit.
@@Dtzeo503 Yeah Koei really needs a competitor since like Pokemon they don't have the motivation to make their game as good like before, heck the crossover ip are better
They probably won't do that, as the title "Black Myth" should be a series about the ancient Chinese mythologies such like "The investiture of the gods" and "Lotus lantern" etc.
Looks like they turned the combat to be more tactical with strong single strikes rather than the combo orriented combat you saw in the first trailer. I really hope this game doesn't lean too heavily towards the Souls-like style of combat and leaves some room for faster paced combo orriented combat. Would be sweet if you are allowed to customize your prefered style of combat.
I feel like it will be just a mix of both. In this trailer he seemed to have special dodge move (making it look more souls-like here), while in the first trailer he had a parry move. I think you'll equipped different abilities before fights (like these where trickster and royalguard, or how he did a fire circle here to keep the boss away vs making clones in the first trailer)
We havent seen anything how the rpg elements are in this game. There is probably going to be skills/skill tree where you can spec into different playstyles. Maybe.
@@jexusdomel5194 the parry is still in this trailer. In one of the boss fights shown he uses it. Based on journey to the west wukong is likely going to have many different abilities like you suggest
@@CaptainPerfect I hope so, I mean the game is still pretty early in development I think so it makes sense why we haven’t seen anything about how the systems work and all that. Obviously idk forsure but it looks like a game that’s still atleast 2 or 3 years away but shit if they continue with this type of quality I say take however much time you neeed
The developer literally went to temples for laser scan in order to do the modeling, all the details(even colour) look exactly the same as the temples across the nation
Notice they didn’t show a release date, there’s no rush, simply showing that they are still working on it and improving upon it. No rush, no caving in to complaining people just taking their time.
All of those boss, monsters in this game are based on Chinese culture like '山海经' '聊斋志异' Of course many Japanese monster we knows they were all from China in ancient times, So this is why may you see the boss you will say why this is Japanese monster. It's just we know Japanese culture more than Chinese culture.
For those who want to know, here are the missing parts of the bird man's words from the translator of the trailer( 高飞显考 from weibo). 怪鸟：吃斋念佛，诵经打坐 All these monks with their meditation and ascetic ways 怪鸟：又有几个真的心如止水，清静无为 They do it for show, for the big reward. 怪鸟：你看看你 What about you？ 怪鸟：这大风大雪的，还要这么拼命 Hauling your sorry ass through this blasted weather. 怪鸟：一定也是为了那个玩意儿 You come for that THING, too. Eh? 怪鸟：你来之前，我算过一卦，你猜猜写的是啥？ You know what? I just did a bit of divination. 怪鸟：动不如静，有才无命 “Stay put or eat soot”, it says. 怪鸟：既要送死，也不拦你 Okay, I'll make this official if death is what you want. 土地公：小西天土地，在此恭迎天命人 I, the caretaker of Subheaven, celebrate your arrival, the Fated One! 土地公：变！ Here you go! The last sentence is 既见未来，为何不拜！ Kneel,he who seeketh enlightenment.
It's a shame that (thanks to our mainstream media), when most people hear "China", they immediately think all types of negative, political non-sense. When in reality, the country has one of the most ancient, rich, and beautiful cultures in the history of Earth. Journey to the West is a prime example, it's a very old story. Let's hope to see more projects like this...it just advances the industry as a whole.
I mean, I agree that China has a wonderfull history and culture, being one of the most important ancient cultures of this planet...but the reason, *why* so many people think negatively of the country nowadays - the CCP and it's inhumane treatment of everyone they don't like or approve - would also love to get rid of all this ancient culture, because it's "superstition" and therefore useless. Just as a reminder, animated skeletons have (or at least had) to be removed or otherwise censored from games in China, due to them promoting "superstitious beliefs". Also it's ironic, that China has such an enormous market for gaming and even a flourishing gaming development-scene, when the government did all it could to discourage people from playing videogames. (including electroshock-therapy) But I guess when money can be made, everyone forgets their principles; even when they hurt people before du to said principles.
@@manticore6963 I don't care how you think of CCP, and I'm not here to argue if your info is accurate regarding CCP. I just want to let you know, the so called "eletroshock therapy" has nothing to do with the government. It's widely regarded as inhuman by majority of the Chinese population. However, there's a loop hole in the legal system to classify this as a treatment, especially when they have parents' consent. And there's really only one single "doctor" in whole China who's doing this "therapy". The government pushes gaming companies to limit how much teenagers can play, but they are by no means promoting brutality against teenagers. If not because of your prejudice, how on earth could you even believe it's a thing. Sigh...
@@manticore6963 I have no opinions on the Chinese government...like every single country in the world, atrocities have been committed. I mean to bring focus on Chinese culture, art, folklore and stories...as they are rich, ancient and beautiful. To Max's point, there are many talented individuals that live on that side of the world, and I hope projects like Black Myth: Wukong are successful and encourage more
@@angelkilier "If not because of your prejudice, how on earth could you even believe it's a thing. Sigh..." Ah yes, because the chinese government never did anything horrible to their own people, thus it's absolutley unbelievable that they would hurt teenagers. The Tiananmen-massacre never happened and the literal concentration camps don't exist. The only reason the government doesn't condone the doctor's actions is very likely, because it became public. Someone had to be aware what he was doing. (and still is doing) And of course the wider population never approved of the electroshock-therapy - the population isn't the government. But I guess it's easier to call me brain washed, prejudiced and what not. (also, last response btw, I don't have the nerves to constantly bicker and argue with strangers on the internet)
I could totally see this kind of game working for other mythological stories. Heck I'd love to see a Black Myth: Horus or a Black Myth: Hercules, especially if the game does well
This is a chinese company, they most likely won't develop other mythological stories from other region except china, and I heard news and info stated that if this games is a success the developer might develop another game based on chinese mythological heroes. Hopefully we able to get a Nezha story (another mythological hero that are fairly popular right now in China be cuz of the recent released of the movie based around Nezha gotten huge success in the box office)
I love that they are doing a different, darker and non-linear take to Journey to The West. Very fresh and adventurous. As much as everyone loves the story, Chinese peeps everywhere have heard the story about a dozen times told through different kinds of media now. This new perspective (and mystery) behind the plot and the characters sounds like it's gonna be an absolute blast.
For me it just prove that western gaming companie have been becoming lazy with their game design because they just want to focus on microtransaction manipulation
@God Slayer What I might say might be a bit heated but I find GOW 2018 falls a bit at what you say there with the REVOLUTIONARY ONE TAKE CAMERA thing. Meanwhile, while the game is still fun, dont get me wrong there but lost so much of the fun gameplay GOW has been known of. Prime example being the enemy varieties (*cough Valheim *cough). I just hope that they step up the over the top gameplay since they have used the camera card now.
@@Ammarnafiz12345 Never say it is a mobile game, you dumb dumb. Western producer are focus on making live service gaming style instead of good game, why did you think you have a lot of Microtransaction on game made by EA, Activision, Ubisoft.
I felt a tear in my eyes when they played the Legendary theme song of Journey to the West at the end of the trailer, I grew up loving that show when it aired in Vietnam. Pls check out the theme song of Journey to the West, I cannot recommend it enough
Definitely keeping an eye on this one. Hopefully they'll take their time. I'd hate to see something with this much potential get ruined because some executive is tired of waiting.
Captain Perfect i think they have received loads of funding and hired a bunch of people when last trailer came out. Last news I heard was that Epic and Tencent invested into this
@@CaptainPerfect You are right. GameScience is an indie studio. HeroGames in the acknowledgement invested about USD 30 million in 2019 and held 20% of the game studio.
I just bought the 16th century book that the monkey king is from, The Journey to the West...gonna be a hell of an undertaking...its over 2,000 pages (4 books total). Buy it brother
Having actually read Journey to the west, I think we are not playing as Wukong himself. 11:04 the demon shown in this sequence seems to be the "Huáng méi", the demon who pretends to be a buddha. The demon used to be an acolyte of Maitreya Buddha, but he couldn't withstand the time and effort it took to achieve nirvana. He went mad eventually and so just stole some artifacts from his master Maitreya and named himself as a new Buddha. Hence his heavenly palace looks like a cardboard cutout and is obviously a fake. He's one of the lesser demons when it comes to power level, but he did pull off one major feat in the novel. When Wukong's party arrived at his palace, having actually met some Buddhas, Wukong immediately knew Huáng méi was nothing but some small-time demon. But the rest of Wukong's party got tricked. This leads to Wukong and his party being sealed inside one of Maitreya's stolen artifacts that is basically a huge ass cymbal. I think 12:19 is the cymbal where Wukong and the rest of the gang are trapped. In the novel, Wukong eventually breaks free using his "Ruyi Bang(Staff like artifact that Wukong uses)". But here in this game, it seems Wukong doesn't have Ruyi Bang since the player character has it for some unknown reason. I think the players will be initially tasked with the mission to free Wukong himself, but maybe something goes wrong so players will need to take detours and eventually embark on an epic journey that is different from the source material. Giving the devs creative freedom while still being loosely based on the Journey to the west. Btw I don't think Huáng méi will be the final boss. He may have trapped Wukong, but he's still a small fry. Wukong is still trapped inside the Cymbal in this game so this will attract more ancient, more powerful evils. I think what's going to happen is Huáng méi will be the midpoint boss storywise. When players defeat him, a stronger big-time demon will arrive just in time to take cymbal and its captives for himself.
This is the comment I was looking for lol. Knew it was from yhe Series, just couldn't remember specifically for what the theme was used. Definitely can't wait for thisost to come out
the ending line in chinese (斗罢艰险又出发) means: After fighting hard and dangerous and set off again (thx to google translate.. i can't do this shit...), which is actually a part of the lyrics of the original song of the famous tv drama 'journey to the west' in 1986, you can feel the nostalgia and special emotion bondings there for those chinese audiences born in 80s. and thanks for your reaction :) we all pray that it wont disappoint us when it officially released...
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You might think that they're doing a Cyberpunk or a No Man's Sky, BUT you have to remember something. This is not their first rodeo considering these are ex devs from Tencent, iirc, and they are always telling us that these trailers still needs more improvement. Mind you, trailers that actually shows actual in-game footage. My best bet is you can have a small hope or hype for it but still keep your expectations low. This is what I did when I saw Ghost Of Tsushima and hopefully the same goes for this one.
The game looks like it will be really cool when it comes out. The only thing that bothered me is the hitboxes when the main character was fighting the first boss in this trailer.
Dude, this game looks INSANELY amazing! Beautiful graphics, really good gameplay, and it a Journey to the West game?? I really really hope this game ends up blowing our minds! 👏
I agree with Max on the impact audio when you hit an enemy It sounds like a stick tapping another stick with slight force Doesnt sound nor feel like its actually hitting a creature, plus it somehow overshadows other audio's too
Which makes me skeptical. I would only truly believe this is real until there is a playable demo for the public. We don't want another Anthem and Cyberpunk 2077, do we?
@@buggart In fact, I have the same concerns as you. As the first 3A work developed in China, it has attracted too many people's attention. I am worried that this kind of excessive attention will make people demand too much of it, so that they forget that this is the first work. It should be allowed some minor errors.
You open your UE4 project in UE5 and it. just. works. That's how seamless it is. Also the workflow itself doesn't change much. Wherever it does, it's in fact easier, so yeah. No problems there
are we still waiting for that project dragon game from japan cant remember the name it was shown at sony show by....... erm cyber i cant remember the hell the game is and who made it cybersomething.. project something looks like dragons dogma... also isnt there a cellshaded jrpg erm also cant rem... aha granblue rpg.... was gorgeous then there was a granblue fighting game.... have either come out lol but yeah this wukong looks better and more epic if the sizzle reel hints at the scale and size of story/universe/game??
I just found out about this game though this video, and honestly my only complaint so far is the hit sounds. Anyone who knows about journey to the west knows that wukong’s staff is heavy, like no mortal can pick it up levels of weight (around 17,550 pounds, to be exact), and those hits sound like their coming from a regular old bo staff. Otherwise, seems good, though I highly doubt the end product is gonna look like this. I’ve seen way too many games hype up the visuals only to not deliver.
There are rumors out there that this isn't actually Wukong but someone else trying to follow in his footsteps. So maybe the staff isn't the same as well.
Keep in mind this game is indeed, inspired by God of War 4, Monster Hunter and Sekiro themselves, which really garners a lot of attention with these gameplay footage. Another impressive game yet again! I hope this sells once the final trailer released before people start pre-ordering.
the lore is endless! plus because everything has a basis in buddhism, the architecture the art is dripping with detail and real places would not be surprised if theres photogrammetry involved.... the reason so many people... or westerners in particular are so enamoured with the design and aesthetics is because western games are all realistic or uninspired bald space marine or zombies or zombies in space or soldiers or soldiers with zombies in space lol....
9:45 - just trivia, but the translation here really underplays the humor of that sentence, in response to that quote by Buddha: Subtitle: ‘He’s got it wrong. Now heed my words!’ Literal meaning: ‘Yet I say, that’s a load of fart!’
a lot stuff seems like they are doing their best to make this happen. i do hope their development goes smoothly and optimization for their performance starts to be better when it’s released. this game has a lot to show if done right
this is like a spinoff based on Journey To The West, but more into the lores of the monsters and demons that did not included from that series, im hoping to get to play this game as well cause i am into that kind of mythical storyline~
I love how this is based off Journey to the west, one of the best pieces of fiction ever. I wonder which familiar faces we’ll see. I can see that the fake impersonator of the Buddha is there at the end. Super excited to play this game
The game has some insane scenery but what I feel the games lacks right now is impact behind the attacks since I feel like the player is just tickling the bosses, and as Max said the audio still needs some work in some parts but overall I’m excited! We barely see Chinese folklore as compared as to Japanese culture and this game can really make something cool and different
In fact, if you understand Chinese culture, you can see many shadows of Chinese culture in Japanese culture. For example, [Seven Dragon Ball] borrowed a lot of Chinese novels [Journey to the West], and [风林火山] that often appeared in the Japanese Warring States game actually came from the Chinese book of war [孙子兵法]
@@bobbob-cd9yl South Korea has been heavily influenced by China in history. 500 years ago, South Korea was still using Chinese characters instead of the current Korean. South Korea was once a subject of China. Japan is mainly influenced by China’s Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the Tang and Song dynasties
In the sentence "即见未来，为何不拜" at 12:37, Chinese netizens regard the second half of the sentence as a pun in Chinese and English. The sound of "拜" is the same as "buy", so in China's RUclips (bilbili), you can see that many people will say "buy" in the barrage. Lol, this Chinese English pun is really interesting.
In the late 90s and early 00s there are many good Chinese games that can compete with any famous games in terms of quality. However things gone different later. The PC begins going into normal Chinese families while PlayStation sort of things are still not that affordable, which makes PC games become the major focus in Chinese market. Then, as Chinese government didn’t notice the rise of game industry quick enough, the hack version of big games are basically everywhere due to the lack of supervise, and it killed all companies that can produce good games. Then the mobile time comes, and we all know what happened later.
For anyone wondering about the weapon Wukong wields, it is named " Ruyi Jingu Bang ". As for the story, a lot of people are calling this Journey to the west, and yeah it could be, but considering the trailers so far, this is likely going to be his early life, there is a lot of stuff that happens long before he steals various immortality items in heaven, years upon years of stuff, oh said items do not make him immortal, they just extend his lifespan, though he is pretty much impossible to kill by any means due to all that anyways. Then Buddha drops a mountain on him ! YAY ! And not until after that is Journey to the west, so this could either be the start of a series, or just the beginning of his life, then again it could be a mix of everything, no idea really, but the trailers so far make me think it is going to focus on the start of his life mainly. The earlier trailer had shots of him older so it could be a bit of everything.
judging from how much references they put into the gameplays from the original book, I'm pretty much certain wukong will be able to jump, but maybe not conventional jumps. The original book states wukong's single jump could jump 108,000 miles high. so yea, I guess it could be used for fast travels?
This is definitely not Devil May Cry. No Combos, Juggling, or Style meter. I wish people would learn the difference between an action game having good combat, like darksiders, and DMC. This barely qualifies as action combat game.
@@TheMilhouseExperience DMC is just a bad example, if they said monster Hunter then that would be more accurate for boss fights at least. Imo it lands basically right in the middle which would be an easier version of Nioh as a comparison
@Kraze alot of those abilities in that first trailer have been pulled out I'm willing to bet. Just a hunch but I think someone had the game changed to make it more souls similar to cash in on it.... *tencent*
I vaguely remember that there’s a short story about The Two monkey Kings. It’s a side story about another stone monkey turned into Wukong when the real Wukong went out for food or something. In the end of the original story the fake Wukong was banished by the real one but nothing was said about the fake one’s whereabouts later. This might be an imagination of fake Wukong’s journey
There is a concept in Chinese Wuxia Story, called Qi of sword. Wielding a sword with great force will generate an air wave. That’s why the blur came out.
Game looks amazing I been waiting on it ever since the first trailer. If there's one thing I can agree on is that the impact sounds when he's hitting enemies do need some more oomph and spice to it
To understand the scenes in the game, you have to read the original journey to the West or the 86 Chinese TV series. The Chinese dragon is little White Dragon, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. He was punished for burning the luminous pearl given by the Jade Emperor. Avalokitesvara interceded and the Jade Emperor let him go. You guess is the THING of UFO, is the Gold cymbals of huangmei king. If who was caught by the Gold cymbals，there is no escape from it. In the original, sun Wukong was captured by the Gold cymbals，but he escaped with the help of god. Sun Wukong's 72 changes are not 72 kinds of things, but 72 kinds of abilities, and change is only one kind of ability. Many Chinese also have the wrong perception. There is also a god named Erlang God, he also has 72 kinds of abilities, with his god dog, that is 73 kinds of abilities. The power of Erlang is equal to that of Sun Wukong. Behind the goddess of mercy to the Monkey King three help them, so the Monkey King has 73 kinds of ability.
There's a lot that looks fantastic in this game, but the combat still doesn't sell it for me, so far it looks very simple, hitboxes look a little weird. I'm gonna wait and see what changes in the next updates.
This game feels like it needs more time. The fights don't feel dynamic even though the particle effects are there. The dragon and the monkey are ackward in the way they move and attack. Considering how generous the dodge windows and evasive moves seem to be, its suprising the bosses move so slowly. It reminds me of the bossfights in Resident Evil 8 where you almost have to suspend your disbelief because the boss acts as if they want you to win. Sekiro managed to make EVERY fight feel like a dynamic and visceral battle of dodging, reposting, and slicing. Wukong has the makings of a game as great or better than Sekiro but the fights NEED to flow in order to contend.
Never would’ve imagined that Journey to the West which is essentially the inspiration behind Dragon Ball would get an HD dark souls like video game that looks so incredibly beautiful holy fork
I think the ending scene is an easter egg for either a second game or a dlc expansion. The song is from the journey to the west tv show and it says in Chinese “after the battle concludes we depart for the next chapter” ( I imagine it’s hinting more towards a second game than dlc)
@@gamechanger8908 nezha would be a cool choice given how popular the animated movie was. but this trailer definitely seems to be hinting at wukong's journey to the west in a sequel
“souls-like”“souls-like”“souls-like”“souls-like”, does everything has to be “souls-like” if it contains dodge and fight? Why there is no Tombraider-like or something? I don't get that people always compare any other game to Dark soul...
It’s made by ex-tencent employees, so Tencent probably invested in this game. I wouldn’t be surprised that’s how they got connections and support from Epic with UE5 since Tencent pretty much owns Epic
tencent owns epic????? really??? actually owns them???? erm whats the deal with sony then??? they have a thing with epic? stocks/shares.... when did epic???

Would be sweet if you are allowed to customize your prefered style of combat.
yeah I personally prefer fast paced combat
I feel like it will be just a mix of both. In this trailer he seemed to have special dodge move (making it look more souls-like here), while in the first trailer he had a parry move. I think you'll equipped different abilities before fights (like these where trickster and royalguard, or how he did a fire circle here to keep the boss away vs making clones in the first trailer)
We havent seen anything how the rpg elements are in this game. There is probably going to be skills/skill tree where you can spec into different playstyles. Maybe.
@@jexusdomel5194 the parry is still in this trailer. In one of the boss fights shown he uses it. Based on journey to the west wukong is likely going to have many different abilities like you suggest
@@CaptainPerfect I hope so, I mean the game is still pretty early in development I think so it makes sense why we haven’t seen anything about how the systems work and all that. Obviously idk forsure but it looks like a game that’s still atleast 2 or 3 years away but shit if they continue with this type of quality I say take however much time you neeed
The developer literally went to temples for laser scan in order to do the modeling, all the details(even colour) look exactly the same as the temples across the nation
the song at the end almost all Chinese know how to sing。bring back a lot of childhood memories.

What is the name of the song?
@@conemoran7200 The name of the song in Chinese is 敢问路在何方 in English maybe translate as "Dare to ask where is the path" or something
Everyone in Asian who grew up with the 1986 Journey to the West series will instantly recognize that theme, it's a nostalgia trip.
"i wanted to see the main character get hit"
uhh max he got hit throughout the video before that
I think what he meant was "I want to see how much damage we take from this boss" as a way to measure how souls-like it is.
Max stands working.
@@NeonNoodleNexus In fact, it should be more difficult than the video display.
But he had already taken damage before that in the boss fight…
Notice they didn’t show a release date, there’s no rush, simply showing that they are still working on it and improving upon it. No rush, no caving in to complaining people just taking their time.
Iirc the current target is 2023.
They hope between 2022 and 2023 they can release it but I really appreciate them taking their time for this
The boss designs in this game looking fucking amazing
They are fucking nightmare fuel, and I couldn't ask for anything better, so unique.
Well they Come from chinese mythology so of course they would look monstrous
Wonder how many bosses there will be in this game
@@lunehape9735 It's about 160 enemies not bosses. But still, definitely gonna be a LOT of bosses & miniBosses
All of those boss, monsters in this game are based on Chinese culture like '山海经' '聊斋志异' Of course many Japanese monster we knows they were all from China in ancient times, So this is why may you see the boss you will say why this is Japanese monster. It's just we know Japanese culture more than Chinese culture.
For those who want to know, here are the missing parts of the bird man's words from the translator of the trailer( 高飞显考 from weibo).

It's a shame that (thanks to our mainstream media), when most people hear "China", they immediately think all types of negative, political non-sense. When in reality, the country has one of the most ancient, rich, and beautiful cultures in the history of Earth. Journey to the West is a prime example, it's a very old story. Let's hope to see more projects like this...it just advances the industry as a whole.
yeah chinese goverment tainted a lot of peoples perceptions but most people just dont like their goverment but enjoy their rich cultural histories
I mean, I agree that China has a wonderfull history and culture, being one of the most important ancient cultures of this planet...but the reason, *why* so many people think negatively of the country nowadays - the CCP and it's inhumane treatment of everyone they don't like or approve - would also love to get rid of all this ancient culture, because it's "superstition" and therefore useless. Just as a reminder, animated skeletons have (or at least had) to be removed or otherwise censored from games in China, due to them promoting "superstitious beliefs".
Also it's ironic, that China has such an enormous market for gaming and even a flourishing gaming development-scene, when the government did all it could to discourage people from playing videogames. (including electroshock-therapy) But I guess when money can be made, everyone forgets their principles; even when they hurt people before du to said principles.
@@manticore6963 I don't care how you think of CCP, and I'm not here to argue if your info is accurate regarding CCP. I just want to let you know, the so called "eletroshock therapy" has nothing to do with the government. It's widely regarded as inhuman by majority of the Chinese population. However, there's a loop hole in the legal system to classify this as a treatment, especially when they have parents' consent. And there's really only one single "doctor" in whole China who's doing this "therapy".
The government pushes gaming companies to limit how much teenagers can play, but they are by no means promoting brutality against teenagers. If not because of your prejudice, how on earth could you even believe it's a thing. Sigh...
@@manticore6963 I have no opinions on the Chinese government...like every single country in the world, atrocities have been committed. I mean to bring focus on Chinese culture, art, folklore and stories...as they are rich, ancient and beautiful. To Max's point, there are many talented individuals that live on that side of the world, and I hope projects like Black Myth: Wukong are successful and encourage more
@@angelkilier "If not because of your prejudice, how on earth could you even believe it's a thing. Sigh..."
Ah yes, because the chinese government never did anything horrible to their own people, thus it's absolutley unbelievable that they would hurt teenagers. The Tiananmen-massacre never happened and the literal concentration camps don't exist.
The only reason the government doesn't condone the doctor's actions is very likely, because it became public. Someone had to be aware what he was doing. (and still is doing) And of course the wider population never approved of the electroshock-therapy - the population isn't the government.
But I guess it's easier to call me brain washed, prejudiced and what not.
(also, last response btw, I don't have the nerves to constantly bicker and argue with strangers on the internet)
I could totally see this kind of game working for other mythological stories. Heck I'd love to see a Black Myth: Horus or a Black Myth: Hercules, especially if the game does well
This is a chinese company, they most likely won't develop other mythological stories from other region except china, and I heard news and info stated that if this games is a success the developer might develop another game based on chinese mythological heroes. Hopefully we able to get a Nezha story (another mythological hero that are fairly popular right now in China be cuz of the recent released of the movie based around Nezha gotten huge success in the box office)
@@lionfolk101 Hm, darn. Ah well, though I could definite see Nezha or maybe Guan Yu
@@TheGraveKnight Now I'm imagining a dark and gritty soulslike for Dynasty Warriors.
@@Tenchigumi So pretty much like Nioh because Nioh was a Dark Souls like game set on Sengoku Japan, which they even show Samurai Warriors Nobunaga
@@lionfolk101 It would be a trilogy for I read.
I love that they are doing a different, darker and non-linear take to Journey to The West. Very fresh and adventurous.
As much as everyone loves the story, Chinese peeps everywhere have heard the story about a dozen times told through different kinds of media now. This new perspective (and mystery) behind the plot and the characters sounds like it's gonna be an absolute blast.
I was watching the trailer yesterday, looking at the gameplay and the level design to see if it would be a "Max game"
@This Channel introduces R18 sexy gals Nice
Galio do be looking cute
@@sanasdate3421 Thanks, i don't even have to try
Just watched the trailer. The visuals on this game look incredible
For me it just prove that western gaming companie have been becoming lazy with their game design because they just want to focus on microtransaction manipulation
@God Slayer What I might say might be a bit heated but I find GOW 2018 falls a bit at what you say there with the REVOLUTIONARY ONE TAKE CAMERA thing. Meanwhile, while the game is still fun, dont get me wrong there but lost so much of the fun gameplay GOW has been known of. Prime example being the enemy varieties (*cough Valheim *cough). I just hope that they step up the over the top gameplay since they have used the camera card now.
@@DracosKasurani Lol you think this is a mobile game?
Ok doomer
@@Ammarnafiz12345 Never say it is a mobile game, you dumb dumb. Western producer are focus on making live service gaming style instead of good game, why did you think you have a lot of Microtransaction on game made by EA, Activision, Ubisoft.
@@DracosKasurani this game is from Chinese dude
I felt a tear in my eyes when they played the Legendary theme song of Journey to the West at the end of the trailer, I grew up loving that show when it aired in Vietnam. Pls check out the theme song of Journey to the West, I cannot recommend it enough
It's the main theme of Asia haha
Definitely keeping an eye on this one. Hopefully they'll take their time. I'd hate to see something with this much potential get ruined because some executive is tired of waiting.
hah, cyberpunk?
Far as I know, the devs are indie. Could be wrong though.
agree
Captain Perfect i think they have received loads of funding and hired a bunch of people when last trailer came out. Last news I heard was that Epic and Tencent invested into this
@@CaptainPerfect You are right. GameScience is an indie studio. HeroGames in the acknowledgement invested about USD 30 million in 2019 and held 20% of the game studio.
I just bought the 16th century book that the monkey king is from, The Journey to the West...gonna be a hell of an undertaking...its over 2,000 pages (4 books total). Buy it brother
Having actually read Journey to the west, I think we are not playing as Wukong himself. 11:04 the demon shown in this sequence seems to be the "Huáng méi", the demon who pretends to be a buddha. The demon used to be an acolyte of Maitreya Buddha, but he couldn't withstand the time and effort it took to achieve nirvana. He went mad eventually and so just stole some artifacts from his master Maitreya and named himself as a new Buddha. Hence his heavenly palace looks like a cardboard cutout and is obviously a fake. He's one of the lesser demons when it comes to power level, but he did pull off one major feat in the novel. When Wukong's party arrived at his palace, having actually met some Buddhas, Wukong immediately knew Huáng méi was nothing but some small-time demon. But the rest of Wukong's party got tricked. This leads to Wukong and his party being sealed inside one of Maitreya's stolen artifacts that is basically a huge ass cymbal. I think 12:19 is the cymbal where Wukong and the rest of the gang are trapped. In the novel, Wukong eventually breaks free using his "Ruyi Bang(Staff like artifact that Wukong uses)". But here in this game, it seems Wukong doesn't have Ruyi Bang since the player character has it for some unknown reason. I think the players will be initially tasked with the mission to free Wukong himself, but maybe something goes wrong so players will need to take detours and eventually embark on an epic journey that is different from the source material. Giving the devs creative freedom while still being loosely based on the Journey to the west. Btw I don't think Huáng méi will be the final boss. He may have trapped Wukong, but he's still a small fry. Wukong is still trapped inside the Cymbal in this game so this will attract more ancient, more powerful evils. I think what's going to happen is Huáng méi will be the midpoint boss storywise. When players defeat him, a stronger big-time demon will arrive just in time to take cymbal and its captives for himself.
hey bro, black myth has released two new video, footage and cutscene, come on we appreciate your reaction and comments, looking forward to it! Tks.
The end theme from the 1986 Chinese TV series hits me in the feels.
This is the comment I was looking for lol. Knew it was from yhe Series, just couldn't remember specifically for what the theme was used.
Definitely can't wait for thisost to come out
That dragon animation is unbelievably smooth. That must be so hard to program fluidity like that. Incredible.
The fat that not just the big special attacks, but almost 'all' of their attacks left dynamic marks in the snow... Dang.
This game looks fantastic and seems really fun to play. I hope they do more enhancements to the audio, sound effects, and music.
wukong new trailer is coming!!!
the ending line in chinese (斗罢艰险又出发) means: After fighting hard and dangerous and set off again (thx to google translate.. i can't do this shit...), which is actually a part of the lyrics of the original song of the famous tv drama 'journey to the west' in 1986, you can feel the nostalgia and special emotion bondings there for those chinese audiences born in 80s. and thanks for your reaction :) we all pray that it wont disappoint us when it officially released...
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You might think that they're doing a Cyberpunk or a No Man's Sky, BUT you have to remember something. This is not their first rodeo considering these are ex devs from Tencent, iirc, and they are always telling us that these trailers still needs more improvement. Mind you, trailers that actually shows actual in-game footage. My best bet is you can have a small hope or hype for it but still keep your expectations low. This is what I did when I saw Ghost Of Tsushima and hopefully the same goes for this one.
The game looks like it will be really cool when it comes out. The only thing that bothered me is the hitboxes when the main character was fighting the first boss in this trailer.
Obviously needs a demo to give feedbacks to the dev
They need to tighten the combat up
Some hits from the sword monkey and white dragons seem not to register at times. Hitboxes seem kinda off. But yea, cool af
I appreciate how it's clearly a work in progress, still. Like, that trailer isn't hiding wonky hitboxes or the bad sound effects
Saw the trailer, immediately needed to see max's reaction
Watch the video 3 years later. Dream comes true.
Dude, this game looks INSANELY amazing! Beautiful graphics, really good gameplay, and it a Journey to the West game?? I really really hope this game ends up blowing our minds! 👏
It won’t because it’s already blown peoples minds, it’ll just get worse and worse now until people wonder how they fell for it when it releases lol
@@fatbroccoli8 ok doomer lol
@@fatbroccoli8 people said that when they first released the trailer a year ago too lol
I agree with Max on the impact audio when you hit an enemy
It sounds like a stick tapping another stick with slight force
Doesnt sound nor feel like its actually hitting a creature, plus it somehow overshadows other audio's too
That dragon is on a different lvl right there, never seen one that looks so good, moves so good.
Which makes me skeptical.
I would only truly believe this is real until there is a playable demo for the public. We don't want another Anthem and Cyberpunk 2077, do we?
@@buggart yep, you're right bro
@@苏源-g2s I mean, there's nothing wrong for being hyped. But too hyped is another matter entirely.
@@buggart In fact, I have the same concerns as you. As the first 3A work developed in China, it has attracted too many people's attention. I am worried that this kind of excessive attention will make people demand too much of it, so that they forget that this is the first work. It should be allowed some minor errors.
@@buggart sad but true, I didnt even touch Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 had potential but they had to squander it.
You open your UE4 project in UE5 and it. just. works. That's how seamless it is. Also the workflow itself doesn't change much. Wherever it does, it's in fact easier, so yeah. No problems there
There are three games that I'm excited about from East asia which are not from Japan: black myth wukong, faith of danschant, crimson desert
This and lost soul aside are gonna be EPIC!
are we still waiting for that project dragon game from japan cant remember the name it was shown at sony show by....... erm cyber i cant remember the hell the game is and who made it cybersomething.. project something looks like dragons dogma... also isnt there a cellshaded jrpg erm also cant rem... aha granblue rpg.... was gorgeous then there was a granblue fighting game.... have either come out lol but yeah this wukong looks better and more epic if the sizzle reel hints at the scale and size of story/universe/game??
I just found out about this game though this video, and honestly my only complaint so far is the hit sounds. Anyone who knows about journey to the west knows that wukong’s staff is heavy, like no mortal can pick it up levels of weight (around 17,550 pounds, to be exact), and those hits sound like their coming from a regular old bo staff.
Otherwise, seems good, though I highly doubt the end product is gonna look like this. I’ve seen way too many games hype up the visuals only to not deliver.
There are rumors out there that this isn't actually Wukong but someone else trying to follow in his footsteps. So maybe the staff isn't the same as well.
Its seems it's either one of his clones or the six eared macaque.
Strike impact sounds definitely need an upgrade, but yeah, this is gonna be awesome.
@@flamuralaj3302 chances are it won’t be awesome though
@@fatbroccoli8 How could you think that after watching the gameplay?
Keep in mind this game is indeed, inspired by God of War 4, Monster Hunter and Sekiro themselves, which really garners a lot of attention with these gameplay footage. Another impressive game yet again! I hope this sells once the final trailer released before people start pre-ordering.
FINALLY a game where I can REJECT HUMANITY RETURN MONKEY
YES YES YES YES YES
The song in the begining of the epic movie "Journey to the West" is also fanstatic in this game but with the blackmyth melody
Awesome !
The environments, characters, and enemies are endless! There's so many!
best monke gaem
the lore is endless! plus because everything has a basis in buddhism, the architecture the art is dripping with detail and real places would not be surprised if theres photogrammetry involved....
the reason so many people... or westerners in particular are so enamoured with the design and aesthetics is because western games are all realistic or uninspired bald space marine or zombies or zombies in space or soldiers or soldiers with zombies in space lol....
9:45 - just trivia, but the translation here really underplays the humor of that sentence, in response to that quote by Buddha:
Subtitle: ‘He’s got it wrong. Now heed my words!’
Literal meaning: ‘Yet I say, that’s a load of fart!’
Really excited for what this game has to offer I hope it's good
Begining - Soul-like gameplay
Mid -Monster Hunter
End - Sekiro
After launch - Rhythm action game with QTE filled with escort mission (Tripitaka)
a lot stuff seems like they are doing their best to make this happen. i do hope their development goes smoothly and optimization for their performance starts to be better when it’s released. this game has a lot to show if done right
There are a lot of highly detailed single player projects around the corner. The real next gen possibly shows on 2023
The music starting at 9:55 is giving me some strong Nier vibes. I like it!
Also Ghost in the Shell intro.
this is like a spinoff based on Journey To The West, but more into the lores of the monsters and demons that did not included from that series, im hoping to get to play this game as well cause i am into that kind of mythical storyline~
This gameplay look so freaking hype! Can’t wait to Bonk of a lot of enemies on the head.
most likely they will bonk you more than you bonk them on the head
I love how this is based off Journey to the west, one of the best pieces of fiction ever. I wonder which familiar faces we’ll see. I can see that the fake impersonator of the Buddha is there at the end. Super excited to play this game
The variety of enemy types in this game is NUTS
Thats chinese mythology for you. We got more than 1000 gods and monsters that you never heard of 😆
Even i get confused on the taoist pantheons
@@VChong1991 I got a lot of digging to do then!
You should give nioh a try but instead of Chinese it's Japanese mythology type enemies
@@josephjager9156 funny enough shintoism isnt too different from taoism. China influenced like 80% of japans culture back in those days.
That snow looks insane man
The game has some insane scenery but what I feel the games lacks right now is impact behind the attacks since I feel like the player is just tickling the bosses, and as Max said the audio still needs some work in some parts but overall I’m excited! We barely see Chinese folklore as compared as to Japanese culture and this game can really make something cool and different
This. The hits lack any form of weight
I think even more is I can't really tell when you hit the bosses your weapon a lot of the time is not even connecting
In fact, if you understand Chinese culture, you can see many shadows of Chinese culture in Japanese culture. For example, [Seven Dragon Ball] borrowed a lot of Chinese novels [Journey to the West], and [风林火山] that often appeared in the Japanese Warring States game actually came from the Chinese book of war [孙子兵法]
@@windcold4532 I mean Korea, china and Japan all have crossovers in their culture
@@bobbob-cd9yl South Korea has been heavily influenced by China in history. 500 years ago, South Korea was still using Chinese characters instead of the current Korean. South Korea was once a subject of China. Japan is mainly influenced by China’s Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the Tang and Song dynasties
In the sentence "即见未来，为何不拜" at 12:37, Chinese netizens regard the second half of the sentence as a pun in Chinese and English. The sound of "拜" is the same as "buy", so in China's RUclips (bilbili), you can see that many people will say "buy" in the barrage. Lol, this Chinese English pun is really interesting.
Probably the most graphically impressive shit I’ve seen.
The song at the end of the trailer is the opening theme of an old Journey to the West TV adaptation that's super popular in China.

Chinese games are great when they don't ask you to "Top Up". Learned that a long time ago.
In the late 90s and early 00s there are many good Chinese games that can compete with any famous games in terms of quality. However things gone different later. The PC begins going into normal Chinese families while PlayStation sort of things are still not that affordable, which makes PC games become the major focus in Chinese market. Then, as Chinese government didn’t notice the rise of game industry quick enough, the hack version of big games are basically everywhere due to the lack of supervise, and it killed all companies that can produce good games. Then the mobile time comes, and we all know what happened later.
@@albertloxton4520 in short Tencent ruins their own country
@@riddif yep
For anyone wondering about the weapon Wukong wields, it is named " Ruyi Jingu Bang ".
As for the story, a lot of people are calling this Journey to the west, and yeah it could be, but considering the trailers so far, this is likely going to be his early life, there is a lot of stuff that happens long before he steals various immortality items in heaven, years upon years of stuff, oh said items do not make him immortal, they just extend his lifespan, though he is pretty much impossible to kill by any means due to all that anyways.
Then Buddha drops a mountain on him ! YAY !
And not until after that is Journey to the west, so this could either be the start of a series, or just the beginning of his life, then again it could be a mix of everything, no idea really, but the trailers so far make me think it is going to focus on the start of his life mainly.
The earlier trailer had shots of him older so it could be a bit of everything.
Wukong doesn't seem to be able to jump normally, so it's definitely more of a souls game than a devil may cry
judging from how much references they put into the gameplays from the original book, I'm pretty much certain wukong will be able to jump, but maybe not conventional jumps. The original book states wukong's single jump could jump 108,000 miles high. so yea, I guess it could be used for fast travels?
This is definitely not Devil May Cry. No Combos, Juggling, or Style meter. I wish people would learn the difference between an action game having good combat, like darksiders, and DMC. This barely qualifies as action combat game.
@@TheMilhouseExperience DMC is just a bad example, if they said monster Hunter then that would be more accurate for boss fights at least. Imo it lands basically right in the middle which would be an easier version of Nioh as a comparison
@Kraze alot of those abilities in that first trailer have been pulled out I'm willing to bet. Just a hunch but I think someone had the game changed to make it more souls similar to cash in on it.... *tencent*
I'm hoping they do my favorite character Wukong justice and the game ends up being Game of the year
“What a majestic creature”
Me: dies
The first time I hear about wukong is from TV series journey to the west
The combat is lacking impact or something other than that this game looks beautiful 😍
Lack impact and sound effect. Probably because it isn't finished yet so they haven't refined the game.
Sound design is it i think
I was worried that they made it feel like Souls combat but then I remember Wukong visually shines the brightest during 1v1 fights
I vaguely remember that there’s a short story about The Two monkey Kings. It’s a side story about another stone monkey turned into Wukong when the real Wukong went out for food or something. In the end of the original story the fake Wukong was banished by the real one but nothing was said about the fake one’s whereabouts later. This might be an imagination of fake Wukong’s journey
the environment, the fight, So cool! Go Wukong!
This looks really cool, but I'm not crazy about the watery 'motion blur' effect on all of the big attacks.
I don't know, I kind of like it... I thought it was weird at first, too, but now it's kinda growin on me.
My biggest issue
Don't know about the aesthetic, but it's good for indicating the hit box.
There is a concept in Chinese Wuxia Story, called Qi of sword. Wielding a sword with great force will generate an air wave. That’s why the blur came out.
@@ownbinho8496 oh, I hadn’t thought about it that way. Good point!

"The enemies look sick"
Chinese mythology and folktale looks sick Max.
Now this was the video I’m looking for
I don't want to get too hyped but...it looks pretty insane.
1:21 - I think they showed that off specifically to show UE5 takes less time to get something with that detail in the game. 10:58 too
Dude Sun Wukong has got to be one of the coolest fictional trickers and his story is supper interesting.
He's literally on of the most op characters in Journey To The West, second to Buddha
To understand the scenes in the game, you have to read the original journey to the West or the 86 Chinese TV series. The Chinese dragon is little White Dragon, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. He was punished for burning the luminous pearl given by the Jade Emperor. Avalokitesvara interceded and the Jade Emperor let him go.
You guess is the THING of UFO, is the Gold cymbals of huangmei king. If who was caught by the Gold cymbals，there is no escape from it. In the original, sun Wukong was captured by the Gold cymbals，but he escaped with the help of god.
Sun Wukong's 72 changes are not 72 kinds of things, but 72 kinds of abilities, and change is only one kind of ability. Many Chinese also have the wrong perception. There is also a god named Erlang God, he also has 72 kinds of abilities, with his god dog, that is 73 kinds of abilities. The power of Erlang is equal to that of Sun Wukong. Behind the goddess of mercy to the Monkey King three help them, so the Monkey King has 73 kinds of ability.
There's a lot that looks fantastic in this game, but the combat still doesn't sell it for me, so far it looks very simple, hitboxes look a little weird. I'm gonna wait and see what changes in the next updates.
Chef's kiss to all the monster designs!!! This game is gonna either make it or kill it with ppl all hyped up after the trailers they released.
New Objective: Stay alive until this game releases
Same!
Anyone remember the live action show the Irrepressible Monkey? Loved that show as a kid.
Yeah “Saiyuki” AKA “Monkey Magic”. The best adaptation of Journey to the West ever.
The hitboxes look really wonky at times but I really hope this turns out good, this game gives off nioh and sekiro vibes which is great
Many ppl talk about Goku, but little people do know Goku is actually based on Sun Wu Kong, a chinese myth novel story written on 16th century.
This game feels like it needs more time. The fights don't feel dynamic even though the particle effects are there. The dragon and the monkey are ackward in the way they move and attack. Considering how generous the dodge windows and evasive moves seem to be, its suprising the bosses move so slowly. It reminds me of the bossfights in Resident Evil 8 where you almost have to suspend your disbelief because the boss acts as if they want you to win.
Sekiro managed to make EVERY fight feel like a dynamic and visceral battle of dodging, reposting, and slicing.
Wukong has the makings of a game as great or better than Sekiro but the fights NEED to flow in order to contend.

Prime Example. Max say's "This is so cool" But in actuallity we just watched Wukong not press a button for 20 uninterrupted seconds.
Never would’ve imagined that Journey to the West which is essentially the inspiration behind Dragon Ball would get an HD dark souls like video game that looks so incredibly beautiful holy fork
This game looks actually SICK
I think the ending scene is an easter egg for either a second game or a dlc expansion. The song is from the journey to the west tv show and it says in Chinese “after the battle concludes we depart for the next chapter” ( I imagine it’s hinting more towards a second game than dlc)
I heard Game Science is planning to make other Black Myth's the next one I being Black Myth Nezha(one of the Gods Wukong fought)
@@gamechanger8908 nezha would be a cool choice given how popular the animated movie was. but this trailer definitely seems to be hinting at wukong's journey to the west in a sequel
Unreal engine 5 makes me hopeful that this game will truly be next gen
comes out on mobile and switch XD
12:38 That looks like the lid of a Taoist alchemy vessel, probably the same one that they tried to boil the monkey king in in the past.
“souls-like”“souls-like”“souls-like”“souls-like”, does everything has to be “souls-like” if it contains dodge and fight? Why there is no Tombraider-like or something? I don't get that people always compare any other game to Dark soul...
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing, it is annoying but I guess it’s the closest thing you can compare this to
Yeah its like darksouks invented the hit block hit block mechanic in games, i mean look at zelda and any old games
10 outta 10 if I only get to do what's in trailer I'm fine
It’s made by ex-tencent employees, so Tencent probably invested in this game. I wouldn’t be surprised that’s how they got connections and support from Epic with UE5 since Tencent pretty much owns Epic
Well I don’t see this as a bad thing
tencent owns epic????? really??? actually owns them???? erm whats the deal with sony then??? they have a thing with epic? stocks/shares.... when did epic???
@@antwango Shares, Tencent invested in Epic Games, and also invested in Game Science.
@@antwango Tencent holds 40% of the total Epic Games shares.
Tencent has a 5% stake in the studio behind this game.
10:37 the bear from The Fox & the Hound got an upgrade
