I been hyped for this game since it first was spoken. I hope they do a collectors edition with a statue or something
One chinese youtuber just chat with the CEO in Koln, and according to him, there is a plan about collerctors edition
Im so excited for this game. The art team did such a fantastic job.
@@876studios3No it was around 30 members when they first announced, now it’s like 200+ members
Art director was top notch for this as a whole. I’m glad to see this game coming to life and hopefully a release date
You remembered wrongly. This is a team. There is no fucking way TWO people could make a AAA level game. @@876studios3
Been hyped for this game since it was announced. Huge fan of “Journey to the West” book and Sun Wukong himself.
Never even read journey to the west but I watched Lego Monkie Kid
@@alexandercortescampano4335
It’s a good read. I never heard of Lego Monikid until just know haha. I gotta check it out!
@@alexandercortescampano4335 lego monkey kid is a horrid misrepresentation of wukong
It’ll be the perfect addition to the game if they can add the Flying Cloud as a mean of travel in game. I know we’re probably be playing as a clone of Sun Wukong, but would be so epic. After all, Wukong without the flying cloud is like Batman without the Batmobile 🥹
In fact, it's an designed way of traveling between locations in this game.
It probably only exists in cutscenes, since the game isn't open world and doesn't need this kind of functionality
It's worth noting that the main character of Black Myth Wukong might not even be Sun Wukong. In the very first gameplay trailer, the monkey protagonist was confronted by what appeared to be the real Wukong, since he was wielding the staff "Ruyi Jingu Bang", which is Wukong's signature staff.
The narrator in the trailer also states that he was telling a different story that people have not heard of, so it's likely that the "myth" part of the game's name is a completely different take on the classic noval Journey to the West. And based on what the NPCs in the game have said so far, we only know the protagonist to be known as "the chosen one" or "the prophesised one"
I think someone on the Internet explained that the story background of this game took place after the Monkey King learned the scriptures, and then the heaven was captured by monsters. The protagonist was just a hair of the Monkey King, because the Monkey King in The Journey to the West's original work had a spell to turn his hair into a person.
It probably wukong clone we're playing as. Hence we can change clothes and whatever. I'm sure in the end we're playing as the real wukong with set equipment.
@@user-px9kl4eo7b Black Mythology wants to tell a different version of Journey to the West, and this work believes that Journey to the West is a lie invented by the ruling class to maintain its legitimacy. In order to find the truth, many years later another monkey went on the road to search and found a different version of Journey to the West story.
你还真是注意到了故事性的一面。很多看了无数遍西游记电视剧的人来说,都在猜测这到底是个什么样的 安排?天庭散了?还是人间大难?毕竟这多已经降伏的妖怪又出来了,当年的取经人又去哪里了?
@abdulrahiman007depends on his shampoo brand how strong you are as Wukong’s clone
The Japanese samurai sword originated from the [heng Sword] of the Tang Dynasty in China. During the Tang Dynasty in China, Japan sent many official students to China to learn Chinese culture.
Chinese characters were also introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty
Now I wonder whether the korean wardrobe for women are also inspired from Tang Dynasty bcs it's so similar
@@mginger3803Koreans are mostly influenced by Ming dynasty, not Tang. At least, in terms of clothing of aristocrats.
@@mginger3803Most of the cultures of Japan and Korea come from China.
It seems we've started seeing retail gameplay footages now compared to the first time we saw it's gameplay with its camera angle pushed further back, but it still looks stunning, I love the enemies variety can't wait.
I hope they add finishers like in god of war when you defeat an enemy
Yeah would be great but never seen finishers being added to a game this late in development except cyberpunk
@@Niater8106 There are many gigantic boss fight like those in GOW, so I would expect a lot of finisher QTE in at least some boss fight
@@Niater8106 Also, finishers are just animation, so it would be no suprise to add them at any point of development
Even Dragon Ball was based on Sun Wukong. Goku's chinese characters is wukong. Had a long extendable staff, a flying cloud, and can fight like no body's business.
Really appreciate your take on this game. I've seen a lot of doubters accusing this game of being all style with no substance, but when it comes to action/combat games I trust your opinion more than most because of all the awesome tips I've picked up on your channel over the years - you know action games. So glad you liked it, now I'm REALLY looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your impressions!
2:58 please do not call it katana, katana is from Japanese culture. Its ok to just call it a "sword". As a chinese its really sad to see people using japanese words to refer to our culture...
Could it be a Jian or a Wushu Dadao sword? Im not so well-known with that but it looked similar to those 2 Swords.
@@timmy1034 i think it is a enlarging of Chinese Tang Dao or Heng Dao.katana is came from Tang Dao.
@@timmy1034theres a tang dao, the origin of katana until it developed with a curve, also theres ming dao with longer blade, even koei trcmo admit theres that kind of blade in their game, wo long, called straight sabre, exactly like tang dao, but is even came from han dynasty
China doesn't have their culture today. Communist & Atheist destroy them, Westernization & Materialistic bury them.
I’m truly happy this game has received a lot of support for this small team.
I’d be even more excited if they continue to expand on the story of this game with DLC’s or part 2’ and 3’s. Too much to ask?
@@dmzhao88 the original core team broham. It started with a very small team with a big idea and a lot of talent. Then they got a lot of support (Tencent) being one of them.
Tencent is a BIG player , and yes , A journey to the west is a big huge story with a lore like no other , i can see more than one game in this franchise !
@@offlinegamer6756 promise me hahah!
I truly want this. Maybe we can lobby for it somehow lol. I mean other than buying the mess out of this game.
@@dmzhao88 The team once worked in Tencent on a project and left when the project got toxinised by Tencent. According to the report Tencent now holds only 5% of the company shares and has no BOD position to interfere with the company's daily operative decisions.
something like the spell to immobilize your enemy now and then is quite game-changing (pun intended, haha).
it allows the developers to design bosses that are just as agile as you are (or even more agile),
without worrying that they're too fast for the player to handle.
This will give a refreshing experience compared to the usual boss fights in which the bosses are made to be a bit clumsier, slower, less responsive etc than the player character just so the player has a chance to take the boss out
This game finally feels real, cant wait to play it, it still looks amazing
Ha ha ha ha, we in China have been worried for three years, and even now some people are still worried.@@GRGCompletionist
@@GRGCompletionistI am curious why you think this way, is it because the demo is too perfect that makes you doubt whether this can really be done?
3:00 not a katana, its called a Da Dao.
lol katana in ancient china, what i know theres a tang dao and ming dao, what is da dao?
@Neuvari The "大刀," was a type of machete-like weapon used by the Chinese military during World War II. It evolved from the short-handled knives of the Qing Dynasty, characterized by a thick spine and a thin blade. The da dao was employed to counter the Type 38 rifle used by the Japanese forces. Its common application involved using the thick spine of the blade to block the bayonet thrust from a Type 38 rifle diagonally from the lower left to the upper right, followed by a sweeping cut from the upper right to the lower left, much like the actions you might see in the game. Therefore, it's unlikely you would encounter this type of weapon in games produced in Japanese.
It took awhile for me to accept that this game was real. It seemed WAAAAY too good to be true, and more of a myth that would never come to be. Now that people are actually getting hands on, my god…. The hype is overwhelming
People have been dissing this game from day one. It's a good change of pace.
@@Cafeston can’t imagine why?? The game looks insane. Everything they’ve shown, at least for me has been mind blowing.
@BobaVett Because the developer was Chinese. I’ve read countless dismissing comments, calling the demos bluff, copycat, will never release, etc. The usual knee jerk reaction. Now that journalists and public have finally put their hands on the demo at the Gamescom, there’s a healthier vibe around the game. I’m glad for it.
@@Cafeston It definitely seemed like something that would sort of just disappear after awhile, with little to no updates. Especially given that the initial trailer was like a proof of concept requesting development help to finish it. I absolutely stayed optimistic and wished it success, but early on, it was difficult to accept that it was actually coming. I am absolutely relieved that people are playing it now and it’s well under development and is coming our way. Could not be happier!
I'm going to spend the next year learning everything I can about the Monkey King!!!
Nice to see people were able to record them playing the demo, saw a new enemy that wasn't on the other IGN gameplay videos.
I wonder if they'll drop a demo anytime soon or just in 2024. Can't wait for the full game.
gamescience said this game will be released in 2024 summer, can't wait to play it!
my guess:2024 Chinese new year as a window to announce the exact release date, which is next 8.20😂
@@albertloxton4520 yeah they've been only releasing news on the same date.
Holy crap the graphics look insane, yet .. manageable. The developers must be pulling off some really neat tricks to get this level of performance and visual beauty.
it looks like i'm having a Horizon Zero Dawn vibes on this games the graphics is similar right ?
I played it as well and damn that queue was brutal. But it payed 1000% off. Did you also manage to get the shirt ?
@@SunnySzetoSz2000 you could freely choose what bosses you wanted to fight or beat. Let’s say u beat 1 and 2 but struggled with 3 you could quit to the menu and fight and beat the 4th boss to get the three beaten bosses together for the shirt.
Same, I think it took me like 3 hours to get to play it. Luckily, I brought my steamdeck to play during those unbearable queue
What did performance feel like? And what was the hardware do u know? I’m curious as to if it will run well on the ps5
Correct me, it’s not the fire monkey, it’s a mission before the boss battle. WuKong can gain his transformation ability after defeating the sword wolf boss, because the Monkey King has 72 transformation abilities, so WuKong can transform into more polymorphic
72 is his abilities. Transformation is one of ðe 72 abilities. He can transform into anyþing, however many times he wants.
Been waiting to play this for a long time....Hopefully it releases as early as possible.
Just hearing about this game today, great video thanks
the boss design for this game is phenomenal
I've been already hyped, can't wait to play that beautiful masterpiece
I cannot wait for this one always wanted play a Sun wukong game I know theres others but this one sticks out to me
It’s rumoured that if you finished the bosses fast enough you can unlock their second forms, that’s true for the macaque, not sure about thr rest tho. That’s really cool for people with different skill levels 😮
By far the best impressions video I’ve seen so far. So many IGN type videos of a guy just saying “it was fun” for five minutes. Your video actually has a ton of new info on the game mechanics. The only thing I’m still wondering is if you build up that meter in the bottom right and then can perform a super? Also, what are the differences between the stances.
standing staff stance can make you in the air to avoid some attack and smash back, poke stance can push boss back at a distance when face some boss like rushing.
I played it once, cleared 3 bosses, but then came back and played again to clear the 4th boss.
The game looks amazing and feels amazing. I’ve been hyped about it since the first trailers and I’m so happy that I got to test the game.
Nice! When I was fighting the tiger boss I accidentally dodged that stone skin invisibility attack he had and managed to kill him lmao. Also when I got the second shirt and took a photo of it, people were telling me it was white and gold :/. Brought back memories of that dress fr.
Any idea if you loose half your shit like the souls games? Since its simular?
Bro game is very difficult or we can choose difficulty level in this game
Finally! Can’t wait for this to release! Hopefully the wait is worth it
So damn hyped for this game
I hope the Journal section in the menu is the bestiary of every enemy you fought in the game. I love when games got those cuz it fleshes out the world more
well,if u like the story then i highly recommended u to read "journey to the west", then when u start playing the game it will be easier to understand the plot and the story behind each bosses
It is a bestiary. Each time you beat a new type of enemy you will get a notification on the right saying something just got updated. And i have seen clips of people showing that bestiary with detailed background stories for each type.
Waiting for pre-order 😎
Dawg so ready for this
Wow, hi again. Fell asleep at the ad before the video lmao
This game is gonna rock hard. Also getting mortal shell vibes from the hardening ability
its just one of 72 spells of Wu Kong based from the Journey to the West story, but yeah it kinda remind me about mortal shell tho
It’s called 铜头铁壁.
It’s part of Wukong’s abilities when the author designed this character 600 years ago
@@wasupman777 Quit be contrarian he said one ability reminded him of it.
Are you kidding Chris-Sa…? This is the actual original skills of wukong created by the writer in the 16th century. Everybody else in the world who has something similar in any video games is copying and ripping off wukong creator 😅
This is what I been looking for 🙏
Planning on doing a full play through on my channel after it comes out, gonna be so excited to share, explaining and translate this masterpiece of my childhood
BMW will easily be my GOTY. Awesome video Jordan.
LOVING that people are saying so many positive things about this game. This is one of my most anticipated games in a long time, and it would absolutely break my heart if it didn't release with the quality we've been seeing so far. Definitely a day-1 buy for me!
Thanks for the insight. Keep at it.
@JorRaptor I swear I thought that was you bro! I was in line too. I beat 4/4 of the fights & I won both of the shirts. Their whole “Hunt Quest” theme for the event was dope.
Do you know if it will take a long time to progress the game or can it be completed super quickly. Or where you only restricted to fight the bossed
@@rindo703 The game some elements of exploration and hidden paths so it’s restricted to just boss zones. But I do believe it will take a bit of time to complete due to the challenge of combat. Veterans of these types of games shouldn’t be too worried though.
Will JorRaptor ever tell us something we ARE ready for? 🤔
cant wait for this game 🙏 it looks amazing 🤩
Looks incredible, needs the theme song from Monkey Magic put in.
There are total 4 bosses in the demo there and l believe only 2 people out of all managed to clear all of them and won a little reward for it.
The stone skin mechanic that he mentioned was first implemented into a souls like by (Mortal Shell) a pretty decent souls like which has a great look to it but it also has its own unique look and feel. I liked it and instead of it being called rock skin its call hardening that game. 😊👍
Been keeping a Good Eye on this game Since the First Trailer, Can't wait to get my Hands on It 🤘🏽🔥🎮
Oh oh oh!!!! I’m definitely ready for this! Let’s go!!!
Very excited for this game!
I have been saving up money recently to buy this game as soon as it releases.....very excited to play it
If you name a Game Black Myth Wukong it has no choice but to be great
This looks amazing!!! Thanks for the vid! LAS
I remember seeing this before Wu long dropped thought it was altered so glad to see it is a different game altogether definitely hyped for this!
It's just a game, anyone can be ready...
My opinion GOTY 2024
Black Myth: WuKong
looking forward to this game !
Is there a big focus on parry (I love Sekiro as well and am just waiting for another title to implement a similiar system but it doesnt seem to ever happen lol)? Seems like the animations would make that hard to time, so assuming dodge and roll is more the focus?
It's safe to say the majority of players are hyped for this game. I expect it to do very well.
My grouse throughout the years is that it's been taking too long to release.
GTA games takes even longer but normally more time for developers equals a better game most of the time.
Taking too long is mostly due to the illusion of "Producing 3A games takes 2 to 3 years." But that's what those big studios with a full 3A production line. For a brand new ip with no previous games and reusable resources is extremely time consuming, not to mention the polishing if we want game in a good shape. So I'd say it is reasonable to take this long.
This game certainly caught my eye, but as someone who’s never been too good at games like this (or most games period tbh) I might not bother with it. Kinda sad as a fan of the Journey to the West and Wukong stuff in general.
It’s story driven rpg and I saw a clip where someone interviewed a girl who’s a first time player for souls like game. She managed to get over 2 bosses. So I imagine it’s not super hard.
We still can watch and enjoy the full gameplay and story telling like a movie.. and maybe you can decide after that whether to try playing
ready to preorder now
Does the game offer different difficulties? Or is it as hard as for example a Soulslike game?
Probably no different difficulties, but it’s surely easier than most Soul games
I've seen people saying the difficulty level is dynamically changed. take that monkey boss for example, if you're able to get his health down to half within 1min, it will turn into phase 2 which is more aggressive and with new abilities. but if you are new to the game and couldnt get his health low enough it will stay in phase 1.
Relax Not like souls-like games,you have many option to counter boss
They should release the demo for everyone, just like the Lies of P developers.
Never heard Sekiro explained that way, where you use movement to escape enemy attacks. It was just deflect, deflect, deflect iirc.
Sweet baby Yeezus this game looks dope. That tiger boss is a unit and fighting him in a pool of blood is just..amazing. Cannot wait for this to drop.
Another fantastic looking game I will never get to play..
Unfortunately I just don’t have the time or patience for yet another souls like….
There are multiple difficulty settings though: Per IGN:
"The playtime of Black Wind Mountain is planned to be 30 to 60 minutes on normal difficulty. It will be one of the game's earlier levels."
They wouldn't call out normal difficulty if there wasn't multiple difficulties.
Can’t wait for this game! 🔥
the game looks incredible, and they have one more year to polish it. cant wait...
It will be a wukong-like game, stop imagine it to be soul or sekiro, a lot of difference between them
Well, of course it’s not the exact same. It’s a new franchise, from a completely different studio, so the game obviously has its own identity. However, if you ever played From Software game’s, you can see a huge influence in this one, specially from Elden Ring and Sekiro. There’s nothing wrong about it tho, both won the GOTY award and were massively praised for a reason. They will inevitably be a huge inspiration for the industry for a long time, either you like it or not lol
You should do some more research on Chinese culture. It’s not a katana. Japanese swords originated from China. If you’re too lazy to read, just call it a sword. Don’t have to call it a katana smh.
The knife the monkey boss used is popular in Ming dynasty, a Chinese knife originally, not Katana!
That damn tiger is just too awesome
Sad it's another souls like... will not be getting it then.... :(
hopefully there is a demo, people tend to call games "soulslike" too easily just for the clickbait, but there are many great games out there that some people consider "soulslike" when they're not and they're actually great, because they are not really like souls at all
If you're concern about the difficulty, there will be multiple difficulties in the game.
Per IGN:
"The playtime of Black Wind Mountain is planned to be 30 to 60 minutes on normal difficulty. It will be one of the game's earlier levels."
They wouldn't call out normal difficulty if there wasn't multiple difficulties.
Patiently awaiting this game, and I know I won’t be disappointed.
Can't wait 🤩
i need to start paying attention to game releases
Thaks god that you can turn off damgw numbers, it's just so much more clean without them i mostly find it annoying.
Thanks for your impressions, the game looks pretty dope with potential to be great.
They did mainly show boss fights but I'd like to see more of the regular world and enemies as well.
Man the game looks really cool.
Sun wukong is my favorite god in all mythology and I’m so happy that a game with this much quality in a souls type style is coming out!
Gameplay looks satisfying af
getting a ghost of tsushima vibes over this one
Looks good ill get that. Love this type of story/ world / fantasy..
looking forward for this game
Thank you for this video man, great take. Are you or is anyone able to comment on the RPG/Build elements in the game? Will it be like Nioh with lots of upgrade routes and gear options, or will it be more linier like Ghost of Toshima / Sekerio?
Sun Wukong has a signature weapon, a golden hooped iron rod. I can’t imagine there will be any other weapons available
@@xlairvoyant No problem man! And I found some gameplay on youtube if you look around, and it seems wukong will be able to take the different forms of some enemies he defeats, and sometimes that means using their weapon as well. I saw some gameplay where this enemy with a flaming twin blade was defeated then wukong turned into him and used his weapon/attacks in the next fight. Very interesting mechanic
I think we're all more than ready
I think we all need a demo asap
Yeah frick yeah I was keen but now I’m as keen as frick, thanks homie !
so hyped for the game
I want to know if you can ride the cloud and the transformation that you can do or did they not let you show that
Oh, another roll around and memorise enemy patterns game. Fun.
I'm so hype for this game!!! When damn it, when!?!?!?
I was at Gamescom on Sunday sadly I didn't went there for 2 reason one because of the long line and second because I thought inside is just gameplay to show like in section in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty.
Im kinda thinking it might just be a really good looking fancy boss rush game, i havent seen any normal gameplay against small enemies and stuff only bosses...kinda worried
Does anyone know if there is parrying on this game (not including ability’s) just straight up parrying because the game very fast paced so it’s hard too see
The game looks fantastic!
This is one of the games I was most hyped for…..and Project Eve now called Stellar Blade.
I absolutely love Sun Wukong and The Journey to The West this game is gonna be phenomenal I’m so excited for it
Boss designs look sick 🔥🔥🔥
