Black Myth: Wu Kong [PC, Consoles]

[BoardBonobo]

Is this based on Journey to the West ?

Yes, it's a retelling of that saga. Obviously the best version was Monkey the TV series!

Funny enough in my class in school there was a guy who was the living double of Sandy the fish monster - He hated being called Sandy the fish monster...
It also reminds me I have owned Enslaved Odyssey to the West for years and never got around to playing it

One preview leaked the embargo is tomorrow, the game is phenomenal

The game looks great.

The only design issue in general not limited to this game in particular that I wish gets addressed, is the limited arena where the boss fight occurs.
It would be nice to dynamically fight over a large area like a mountain, forest or lake instead of a limited area between three rocks , trees or into and out of a pond.

This title is one of my most anticipated ones tbh. Looks great so far.

 

[Karamazov]

any console previews yet ?

Launch Trailer

they said it's running 4k/30 on PS5, i guess it's with some upscaling like FSR and not native ?
I don't think there is any UE5 game with nanite/lumen enabled running at such high res on consoles ?

Yea, stated resolution specs on their own mean very little these days when reconstruction is standard in most demanding titles.

No 40 or 60Hz option?? Ew.

Those are output resolutions. Actual res will likely be 1080p/30 and 720p/60ish.

Do you have a benchmark with no DLSS, no FG and where your not messing around with clockspeeds and voltages ?

When the 4090 is at 45fps with no FG and DLSS at Quality with the GPU and game settings completely maxed out, there's probably not much use going further.

 

[Ikshvaku]

Ahh, my GPU ran out of steam before it ran out of VRAM

 

[Davros]

@Malo I'd just like an idea how a stock 4090 runs the game natively

 

[RobertR1]

@Davros stock 4090

Annoyingly the game has no HDR in the demo. Really hope it's in the final game.
