Black Myth: Wu Kong [PC, Consoles]

Donno about that, none of the FX in black myth make me wince as much as this (HK film though)

I wonder how much of a game there currently is. I get the feeling that UE5 trailer is closer to a vertical slice than gameplay.

what's vertical slice ?

That is called the monkey that picks the peaches, and is a real kungfu move, if not the most dreaded

Something created specifically to be shown off in a trailer. A goalpost for the developers to try and hit.

Summer 2024

Gonna predict it'll get delayed beyond 2024

This game is taking reaaaally long. Sometimes I wonder how these companies manage all these years without a released product to get some income and fund the costs of production.

That was a cool stop-motion movie to tell the game is coming summer 2024.

The long development is normal because this is the first AAA games of the studio and they have done some mobile games. There are many Chinese studio currently transitioning from smartphone game to PC/console games.

Pre-Alpha footage was first released in Aug. 2020 (less than 2.5 years ago). The game has only been in development for at most 3-4 years. If it actually releases in 2024, that'll be pretty typical for a modern AAA title, maybe even on the short side.

I love the music and art direction of this game. I hope it explores the lores of Chinese mythology a lot

New gameplay video.

This will be a very interesting game to cover for the tech press. The visuals on display are incredibly impressive.

It does look amazing. I'll likely have to pick this up.

Even though the bitrate is pretty low in this video, you can tell how amazing it looks.

I like the little detail that the end of his staff interacts with the bushes and making them move!

Yeah, the crappy video quality doesn’t do it justice.

I was worried that it might have ended up as one of those asian games that never gets released.
But I am pleased that it is reaching journalists in playable form.
