This UA-cam video only goes to 1080p in setting so how can we tell what the game really looks like ? Most Ps5 games even in Performance mode go higher than 1080p .
This game is so fucking beautiful, game of the year for me. I couldn’t ask for anything else, besides the minor frame drops, nothing has gone wrong for me and I’m about 3 hours into my run and I adore every part of this game!
who cares about goty or not, plus graphix is not all , let's see how much hours this game lasts, let's se how much fun and memorable it gets after completing its quest
Stellar blade and Black myth wukong. Two games made by Dev's that made mobile games before.. Truly impressive these two games. Definitely highlights of the year for me
This is why Western game studios have had so many layoffs this year. They give us garbage. Every good game from the past 5 years have been from the East.
Played it for 2 hours last night on PS5. I haven't yet experienced any visual or audio issue, or bugs of any kind, but of course I'm still pretty early in the game. It's hard to imagine that I'll start experiencing the issues people have reported, because everything has been pretty solid so far. Could be that the review copies were on a buggy build. Or... it could be that only the PC version has those issues (we've seen that before). Guess we'll find out soon enough. Tried all the graphics modes. I found Quality (highest) hard to play, due to the low frame rate. This might be because I've just come off of playing Elden Ring for the past month. However, the visuals on this mode are stunning and remind me of those UE5 tech demos. Performance mode, while taking a noticable hit in the visuals department, still looks good - if I never saw what this game looked like in Quality mode, I'd be satisfied with this. But since I did, I feel a sense of FOMO playing through the game this way, wondering how much more awesome it would look in Quality mode. So, I settled for the middle-ground and chose Balanced. Not as pretty as Quality, but has a few bells & whistles while not feeling like I'm playing the game underwater. I've read other people complain that they found this mode just as unplayable as Quality, but I call BS on that because it feels just fine for me. The game is fun, so far. The complaints about a lack of map is somewhat valid. However, the complaints about invisible walls is even more valid - so much so that I feel like I can do without a map, because there are so many invisible walls, the game doesn't really allow you to stray off of the beaten path - at least in the first areas. Bosses are not difficult so far. Sure, there's a particular boss I've died to a handful of times, but it wasn't a "how am I even supposed to do this?!" Elden Ring type of situation. It feels more that I'm "underleveled" than it does that he has an overwhelming skillset or attack pattern. For that reason, I forsee that going back and grinding trash mobs to progress down the skill tree is going to be a frequent solution to any difficulty spikes in the game.
Does the game support VRR compatible displays? I’m curious if the “balanced mode” is meant for that purpose (where it runs at 40FPS with minor visual downgrades because the VRR kicks in to make the 40FPS feel about as responsive as 60FPS).
Anyone who doesn't notice the OBVIOUS PS5 input lag/delay is either blind or desperate to simp for this mid game. Its not even a Souls like its a boss rush game and the input delay is awful when your in the middle of a fight and you either use 2 heals trying to just use one or the game decides you didn't want to dodge and ignores your button press
@@lutherheggs451 I'm about half way through chapter 3 now. I promise you I haven't experienced any lag or input delay thus far - not even in the major boss fights. The worst I've seen in my playthrough is some occasional visual glitches (ghosting, artifacting) and a frame drop now and then. I recommend you try playing in Balanced mode - I believe that's the only mode that doesn't use frame generation. Performance mode has heavy frame generation, which might account for the input lag you're experiencing.
14:25 going to point out lots of anime and storys are based on the monkey king the gathering of the scrolls(dragon balls/ monolith in one piece) so while it is a common troupe i believe journey to the west is what made it popular lol.

@@OteimPrincewill Screenrant Cites ‘Lack of Diversity’ in “Black Myth: Wukong” . so. lack of trans and gay lesbian is bad? its journey to the west a buddhist story why is there a need of diversity?
It has one huge advantage over Stellar Blade and that is the amazing reactive environment. The way bushes react when you pass through them even in combat is impressive. The flickering shadows and pixelated hair bring down the presentation on PS5 though sadly. Also oddly the balanced mode runs at 45 fps not 40 fps on a 120 hz screen so it is never smooth and 30 fps mode has uneven frame pacing. The 60 fps mode can drop into the 40’s during combat at times too. I hope they get these things sorted out in a patch soon. The occasional traversal stutter seems to be worse on PC yet. again compared to console though not excessive like other games have been recently However if you are getting this game for PS5 do not look at it rubbing on a 4090 first with ray tracing on full or you will think the PS5 version is very poor by comparison . Which is an unfair comparison seeing the firepower difference.
I thought you were going to say something of substance like the dub is better. Whether grass/bushes react when you move through it has no bearing on if a game is fun
I just can’t enjoy modern games like this without that full level of immersion. This is 2024 and reactive foliage and environments should be a given but sadly they aren’t. Elden Ring was boring due to lack of environment interaction. This game is elevated because of it at least in that way. Alan Wake on 360 had reactive foliage yet it’s still too scarce in modern games. At least this has Physx style effects even on PS5 . The clouds moving when you fight in the opening part was really cool. It reminded me of PhysX on Arkham City when the snow reacted with the helicopter blades during a fight on PC version. Plus when Batman walks through it.
@@DEVILTAZ35That makes no sense, reactive foliage is simply too intensive for most builds and you are comparing the PS5 version of the game to the game running on a 4090 (which even that struggles)
@@GhoulSolo___the 4090 definitely doesn't "struggle" with this game. People have to stop thinking running path tracing on native is current tech. Always pair with dlss and frame gen. And no dlss and frame gen is great and anyone who says "fake pixels and fake frames" are coping hard
@@Crazy09starkillor It does btw. I never thought tracing was current tech but the 4090 could handle that pretty well in the Cyberpunk. Also, not everyone has access to frame gen or or want to use it and I also never mentioned it

Growing up as a Westerner, I'm sure most of us are filled with joy seeing the world of Journey to the West being brought to life like this. And you get to "be" Wukong as well. I wonder if he does have 72 magical skills 🐒
@posbe6786 This actually has less to do with journey to the west aesthetically and story than you think. Haven't played it but based on what I have seen it is a made up story like sort of a sequel (and not a true sequel, but like a what if thing), and the Wukong is this is doesn't look or act too close to what we are used to. Journey to the west is also not this dark.
@@SarathKumar-bp2go this dithering happens on PC as well, watch the DF analysis, however, the game on PC with full RT looks even better but it needs a beefy hardware
Why would it. Its not a Souls game no matter how much some people want to pretend it is. The game is neither hard, nor rewarding for being a boss rush game 75% of them give you jack shit when you beat the boss. Its hilarious and sad that the game is linear as shit and there are already people crying for certain youtubers to do a 100% walkthrough as if you can miss anything in this linear corridor boss rush
Yeah, as usual cheap american-english localisation makes me want to not play an otherwise amazing looking game. Chinese characters saying things like "knuckleheads" makes me cringe so hard.
@Spawn Wave thanks for being the first to post actual PS5 footage. I could be wrong but the gameplay seems very easy and not very challenging besides the boss fights. It now looks like simply walking through gorgeous landscapes from boss fight to boss fight.
@@fernandosepulveda7297 loosely. Its a near 1:1 in areas power pole, nimbus, humanoid with tail, transforms into big monkey and his name is Goku(monke is Son Goku)
I remember thinking this was a game that would never come out because it seemed too good to be true. And here I am playing it and I must say the hype was worth it.
I was a bit on the fence with this game. I'm glad they went down the route of making a game that is fun to play and engaging. I want a game I can pick up and enjoy not one that I have to work at. I'll definitely pick this one up now that I've seen what it's like.
The fact that it looks this good on ps5 when comparing it to a high end gaming rig setup that could cost over 2k is amazing, I honestly thought it would look alot worse when compared.🤔😏
Have not noticed anything really bad exept when i checked if there was something behind a waterfall. Game really didn't like that and it dropped fps like crazy.
Okay, after complaining for two weeks, I am sold, buying it now!! The game is more FF16 than soulslike which is what I wanted! Also love the Buddhist influences! ❤
I still find it fascinating that we do not have 60fps as a standard in 2024. Remember hearing 60fps is essential back in 1995 or so on SNES….. @Spawn Wave
@jvxchroma I'm just waiting for the new graphics cards to drop, I'm building a PC. You're right, PS5 is really outdated now, struggling with modern games.
@@johnyhaven3238 YES it is. Its ridiculous how many times the game ignores you pressing a button. pretty garbage to have that much delay or lag in a game that requires precise dodging
2.2 Mill people playing it now on steam. 75k overwhelmingly positive reviews. I dont even like tis kind of game, but im off to buy it right after this comment, just for the graphics and art style. Money well spent. Come back Thurs and tell me if you took the dive? :)
I can't believe people are actually defending Chinese censorship. A Chinese company taking a stand against "feminist propaganda" is not a good sign in one of the countries where women can quite literally be trafficked with no consequences.
I'm so proud of Black Myth Wukong game being #1 for 2024 and the future. Now, all I need is game science to take all that millions and create me a ps5 black myth wukong on disc. I need my game ? I'm waiting on it. Ps5 game disc, where is it ?
The only thing i dont get is sun wukongs voice... i guess they modeled it after real monkeys, which do screech in high pitch. Still... it made me laugh the jfrst time i heard him fight and all his "cries", or what would be grunts in the west, sounded like girlish screams
I bet no one is old enough to remember a kids program back in the 70s. Monkey. Very similar.They used to fire arrows over the castle wall, and evry arrow hit someone right in the head. Lol.
@@Crashed131963 A lot of the artifacts in the performance mode would get cleaned up a bit with a resolution bump. The CPU will clock a little higher, which might be enough to allow for some ray-tracing.
@@IronTigerhe is talking nonsense. The modestly higher cpu performance is for backwards compatibility(easier to develop, easier to scale) with the ps5. Better RT requires a heavy gpu which ps5 pro has plenty of. Higher resolution and Pssr would certainly deliver a major upgrade to the look of the game.
Oh yes the CGI looks awesome. This is nothing more then a Boss Battles Game! 80+ Bosses but no RPG like they were suggesting, no real exploring, just one wagon wheel Arena after another.
I'm not 100% on the game, but to give credit where it's due, the presentation is top notch, especially for a studio's first console project so making an open world rpg would have just made the game worse overall, plus boss fights are often the best parts of character action games
@@thefruitman3200 That is your opinion, which fine. I don't enjoy Boss fights, I enjoy exploration. Being told this game is RPG game is just not true. The games graphics do look amazing, which is typical in Boss Battle only games. I am not against the game, I am just against developer/publisher calling a game something it isn't.

@@SarathKumar-bp2go this dithering happens on PC as well, watch the DF analysis, however, the game on PC with full RT looks even better but it needs a beefy hardware
@@cyco7229 Can i runk it at 4K with my 4080 super and i7 1700k without ray tracing enabled?
Dying has no punishments, which is nice
Why would it. Its not a Souls game no matter how much some people want to pretend it is. The game is neither hard, nor rewarding for being a boss rush game 75% of them give you jack shit when you beat the boss.
Its hilarious and sad that the game is linear as shit and there are already people crying for certain youtubers to do a 100% walkthrough as if you can miss anything in this linear corridor boss rush
The new Donkey Kong looks wild.
Black Myth: Donkey Kong
Ha Nintendo only releases old DK games
When I heard Wukongs voice I legit thought about starting over and putting the language on Chinese 😂
Yeah, as usual cheap american-english localisation makes me want to not play an otherwise amazing looking game. Chinese characters saying things like "knuckleheads" makes me cringe so hard.
@@honeytoast4770 fact 😂 but also I seen the Sun Wukong movies in Chinese so hearing in the game is more fitting anyway
This game looks sick, thanks for sharing!
no parry or block from what i heard this is a pure dodging game!
The game looks amazing. Although the starting protagonist sounds like the Crypt Keeper. 😂😂
Gameplay looks okay. I hope boss fights are not very difficult. I want to play the game for the story.
Cant wait for the physical pleaseeee game science. Ill def play in chinese, feels right
@Spawn Wave thanks for being the first to post actual PS5 footage.
I could be wrong but the gameplay seems very easy and not very challenging besides the boss fights. It now looks like simply walking through gorgeous landscapes from boss fight to boss fight.
You watched the first hour of the game.
First to post footage?.... it was all over the Internet at the same time
Love the realistic Goku on his Nimbus at the start.
Hell yeah!! I mean dragon ball is loosely based of this lore after all.
@@fernandosepulveda7297 loosely. Its a near 1:1 in areas
power pole, nimbus, humanoid with tail, transforms into big monkey and his name is Goku(monke is Son Goku)
thas because this legend is where dragon ball took most of their ideas from, as its loosely based on this.
This isn't a souls game and you can totally tell from the hour I watched. its an action game with some rpg elements.
@@fernandosepulveda7297 Son Goku literally means Monkey King in Japanese, 😂
I remember thinking this was a game that would never come out because it seemed too good to be true. And here I am playing it and I must say the hype was worth it.
I was a bit on the fence with this game. I'm glad they went down the route of making a game that is fun to play and engaging. I want a game I can pick up and enjoy not one that I have to work at. I'll definitely pick this one up now that I've seen what it's like.
The fact that it looks this good on ps5 when comparing it to a high end gaming rig setup that could cost over 2k is amazing, I honestly thought it would look alot worse when compared.🤔😏
This reminds me of the *MONKEY KING* in the movie The Forbidden Kingdom 🤯
all based on the same book
Great video man, keep up the good work! 🙌🏻
PS5 version is running as smooth as butter for me too.
You got a special PS5? or just don't notice all of the drops..
He's too beautiful to notice the frame drops.
ive notice a few frame drops ngl especially when i summon clones in certain areas
Have not noticed anything really bad exept when i checked if there was something behind a waterfall. Game really didn't like that and it dropped fps like crazy.
Nope, my buddy and I have just been passing the controller having fun. If you’re not anal, and just have fun, you won’t care.
Thank you for the gameplay footave, going to buy it after work because of you!
just realized this is the monkey king. lol. not sure why it never registered.
Lmao the game is called wu kong
@@L_Zant I know, it's ridiculous that it never registered. Lmao
@@JustinNewton1117 but you are technically not playing as the monkey king. He's way WAY more powerful than the player character.
Okay, after complaining for two weeks, I am sold, buying it now!! The game is more FF16 than soulslike which is what I wanted! Also love the Buddhist influences! ❤
I still find it fascinating that we do not have 60fps as a standard in 2024. Remember hearing 60fps is essential back in 1995 or so on SNES….. @Spawn Wave
most buyers prefer visuals to framerate and don't give a damn about 60p
It's the other way around, get yourself a high-end OLED TV, you'll never want to play anything under 60fps.
That’s why i only played on pc nowadays, the ps5 just cant keep up anymore after 4 years
@@karl343 60? you mean 100! lol...unless you're running a 60hz oled, then sure
@jvxchroma I'm just waiting for the new graphics cards to drop, I'm building a PC. You're right, PS5 is really outdated now, struggling with modern games.
It always brings a smile to my face, when gamers don't read the instructions on the screen.
This is not just a game, it is a piece of art
you should do more of these ❤ I love long playthroughs from my fav content creators 🤎
It reminds me a lot of Ninja Gaiden on the OG Xbox, very snappy animation, beautiful graphics, just with more frequent and over the top combats.
Whats the point of quality mode if its unplayable?💀
Right? I can’t carry on playing it lags during critical moments and unresponsive , the input lag is crazy
@@johnyhaven3238 YES it is. Its ridiculous how many times the game ignores you pressing a button. pretty garbage to have that much delay or lag in a game that requires precise dodging
This game looks gorgeous sheesh art style and graphics insane
I get paid on Thursday All I want to know is one thing.
This shit going to be fun right?
Yes it’s fun as hell and challenging makes you think when fighting bosses and piece of advice explore every inch of the map!
2.2 Mill people playing it now on steam. 75k overwhelmingly positive reviews. I dont even like tis kind of game, but im off to buy it right after this comment, just for the graphics and art style. Money well spent. Come back Thurs and tell me if you took the dive? :)
@@str1xt I'll let you know and more than likely I am
just buy it😂😂😂
@@stefczar4537 I am
Monkey game! Monkey game!! Wooo!!!
Geez, who is the villain here? MC has all the bad guy lines while the boss speaks like a nobleman lol
The original Son Goku
Welcome to Chinese story telling. Get ready for just pure confusion wrapped in poetry.
The intro is a masterpiece oh my god, it remind me of the dev telling SBI to f*** off lol
SBI?
@@rezterralico4369 sweet baby Inc, the woman who wanted to extort Game Science for 7 ml lol
You played so well omg it took me 2 hours to defeat wandering wright….
God bless Game Science and the Chinese for taking a stand.
I can't believe people are actually defending Chinese censorship. A Chinese company taking a stand against "feminist propaganda" is not a good sign in one of the countries where women can quite literally be trafficked with no consequences.
@@TruTrae Dude, you do not want me to talk about what your beloved America is doing to women and children right now.
@@juiceala who said I liked America?
@@TruTrae trafficked with no consequences? why don't you try that in China LOL. I would love to see how fast they catch you...
@@TruTraeIndia has way worse women right issues. You should start with there.
After seeing this, wukong is now on my must own list!
Is pigsy sandy and Tripitaka in this ?
You come from Red's video? 😂
@@wwlcatsome folks were around for the tv series 😎
@@mikeuk666 correct. 1980s goodness. rewatched the lot earlier this year. still a classic series.
@@wwlcat no mate I’m old 👍🏻
Currently playing on ps5 no issues so far
I'm so proud of Black Myth Wukong game being #1 for 2024 and the future.
Now, all I need is game science to take all that millions and create me a ps5 black myth wukong on disc.
I need my game ? I'm waiting on it.
Ps5 game disc, where is it ?
Gosh i wanna play it, but im gunna wait for the physical copy
might have none like BG3.
The psychical copy has a download code I believe. It’s just an empty shell until later.
The only thing i dont get is sun wukongs voice... i guess they modeled it after real monkeys, which do screech in high pitch. Still... it made me laugh the jfrst time i heard him fight and all his "cries", or what would be grunts in the west, sounded like girlish screams
No they modelled it after the 1980's series from china
How do you imagine his voice? Some gigachad deep captain America ass voice? Lol
He's a trickster monkey god. This is how he should sound like
Thanks for showing off the game! Maybe raise your mic input for during gameplay? Was kinda hard to hear you.
He's loud enough it's probably your device
😂Goku-Wu😂
Yes, it is the original
I bet no one is old enough to remember a kids program back in the 70s. Monkey. Very similar.They used to fire arrows over the castle wall, and evry arrow hit someone right in the head. Lol.
It was big in Australia in the 80s. I used to watch it as a kid after school. Monkey Magic is basically an adaptation of Journey to the West.
@@night_fiend6 nice to know mate. Take care.
That voice...was unexpected. Kinda took me out of the moment lol
Voice ? Dragonball took inspiration of this
@@michaelmyersplays4992 he didn't say anything about Dragon Ball
@@Trufe_about_Gaming yes he did implying cuz he sounds like that g
@@michaelmyersplays4992Your comment makes no sense
@michaelmyersplays4992 you're the reason the r word is making a comeback
This game is the killer app for PS5 Pro.
The Pro has no CPU upgrade so games bottlenecked by CPU will not see a large improvement over a Ps5 ..
@@Crashed131963 A lot of the artifacts in the performance mode would get cleaned up a bit with a resolution bump. The CPU will clock a little higher, which might be enough to allow for some ray-tracing.
@@IronTigerhe is talking nonsense. The modestly higher cpu performance is for backwards compatibility(easier to develop, easier to scale) with the ps5. Better RT requires a heavy gpu which ps5 pro has plenty of. Higher resolution and Pssr would certainly deliver a major upgrade to the look of the game.
FF7 Rebirth is still the GOTY this year. 🤭
I think the game looks and plays great! Whata with all the hate?
Maybe it's just the anti China rhetoric!
I don’t think a game has come out in the last 10 years where the comment section wasn’t full of hate. People cry about everything.
Oh yes the CGI looks awesome. This is nothing more then a Boss Battles Game! 80+ Bosses but no RPG like they were suggesting, no real exploring, just one wagon wheel Arena after another.
I'm not 100% on the game, but to give credit where it's due, the presentation is top notch, especially for a studio's first console project so making an open world rpg would have just made the game worse overall, plus boss fights are often the best parts of character action games
like all Soul type games .
No story just kill everything you see and kill boss to progress through next gate .
@@thefruitman3200 That is your opinion, which fine. I don't enjoy Boss fights, I enjoy exploration. Being told this game is RPG game is just not true. The games graphics do look amazing, which is typical in Boss Battle only games. I am not against the game, I am just against developer/publisher calling a game something it isn't.
@@Crashed131963 Yes exactly, but the developer/publisher was saying this absolutely was not a souls like game, RPG with exploration, which it absolutely is not.
Just a warning if you have an AMD 7900 xtx GPU you can’t even get through the opening cutscene without it crashing. Super frustrating
I have a 7900 XTX and it runs perfectly fine. Using arch Linux with Proton 9.0-2.
@@hismajestysirseal5813 interesting. Saw countless people on steam and Reddit saying they were having the same issues
@@gibbysg8143 Could be an issue with the Windows driver, but I find it weird considering that the game supports FSR. You'd assume that they used the latest AMD cards to test the implementation.
@@hismajestysirseal5813 Thats why I still cant get myself to buy a Radeon card
sometimes shit just doesnt work when it should. It happens far too often for my liking

sheesh long video 😮
Dang an hour video game review? Niceee! You also did an hour of your game collection, you been on a row
god of war feels
@@90zarcade definitely does
Which is a good thing.
@@michaelmyersplays4992 They said that when they where developing the game that god of war 2018 had influence at the design phase. Like the camera work and epic scale of bosses
I actually think Sun Wukong can beat Kratos and I’m fan of GoW
Fun fact, wukong's title as a bodhisattva is God of battle.
Interesting to hear in the voices that they are apparently using the same VA studio as FFXIV. I know these voices quite well and I approve.
The fact that this game has zero DEI garbage has me sold.
No girl ape?
It also has 0 realistic human beings unless you watch japanese animation in yohr sister's basement
@@Mathieuaccit's a video game. Things don't have to be realistic
