Xbob42 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Every time I see footage of this game it looks like dog shit, the animations are so weird and I hate them. I can never quite put my finger on it, but my gut feeling is that it's like pretty good visuals but the foundation seems shoddy. Like Clay Fighters or something. Or like a two dollar whore with really nice makeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 But eh if there is a demo that lets me actually see the pretty graphics they have put together so far that’s about as much as I could ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 This guy played it. Seems further along than you guys seem to think it is... apparently coming out next summer. I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t have enough attention to span to watch a full video but I did skip around and was listening to the part about how different holding the staff in the middle made it feel and how it had a different rhythm and that sounds like a big plus to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yotube knows I';m interested in this game... a lot of gameplay videos showing up in my feed. This one is all in Chinese but it shows the hidden boss fight in the demo that the dude in the other video mentioned. Hopefully whatever they show Tuesday will be available for download for players at some point EDIT: Another video showed in my feed, this one shows extended gameplay and the inventory and armor screens. Also has a Boss fight I haven't seen before naysayers be damned, this game looks fucking cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 So all of this gameplay is coming from an event in China this weekend where folks got to play the demo build. Apparently thesame demo will be at Gamescon Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think I got to level 135 before tapping out. Was pretty close to the end I think. Might go back and beat it before they announce the DLC. Anywho here is a trailer for Wukong... some stuff in here I haven't seen before. I suspect this game is farther along than some of you guys think.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Black Myth: Wukong's combat could surpass the Souls games WWW.EUROGAMER.NET I'm battling an anthropomorphic tiger. He resides, of course, in the Crouching Tiger temple, the steps leading up to it… Quote The first is the giant and poisonous Elite Centipede Guai, which acted as something of a tutorial. I begin in near darkness in an underground cavern littered with skeletons and then from a mound of skulls it bursts free, a terrifying form of spindly, skeletal legs curling above me. It spits poison, swipes with claws, and rolls around the arena requiring well-timed dodges. And dodging is essential. If the Souls games focus on blocking, and both Bloodborne and Sekiro focus on parrying in their own ways, then Black Myth: Wukong is about dodging and swift fluid movement. Stamina must be carefully managed but is generous and allows for plenty of manoeuvrability around each battlefield. A perfectly timed last-minute dodge is represented by a copy of your monkey protagonist as you shift before landing crushing blows. For melee, the monkey uses a staff in three different stances, like the Nioh series: Smash form, Pillar form, and Thrust form. Pillar feels particularly monkey-esque as the character scurries to perch on top before slamming down a heavy attack or spins around in a tornado flurry. I was especially fond, however, of using Thrust to cheekily poke away at bosses from a distance and whittle down their health. I got my ass kicked by a gorilla in the Black Myth: Wukong demo, and it was amazing | GamesRadar+ WWW.GAMESRADAR.COM Preview | My first stop at Gamescom 2023 hit me like a stick to the face Quote In a year so well-served for punishing Soulslike games, Black Myth: Wukong still manages to add something new to the mix. The demo I played at Gamescom took me through four levels – or rather, it would have if I'd made it past the second – featuring four very different, very aggressive boss fights. After dying at the hands of the Macaque Chief, I light an incense stick and go over my spells. In the game's first level, you can only bring two spells with you, so I've opted for a temporary invisibility buff called Cloud Step, and Immobilize to stop my aggressor in their tracks. These had served me well against Centipede Guai, the venom-spitting giant insect I'd vanquished in the first stage of the demo. But now, facing off against the Macaque Chief and his icicle-blasting attacks, it calls for a different approach. I ease off during my first attempt at beating this enemy, taking the time to learn its attack patterns rather than running at it in a flurry of stick-whacking mayhem. Dodging feels blissfully smooth in Black Myth, most likely because I'm not weighed down with heavy armor like my build in Elden Ring. This is how I accidentally perform a perfect dodge, causing my enemy to go into slow-mo while I land a good few extra hits, not to mention a ranged heavy attack that knocks him flying immediately. Nothing feels more satisfying than following up such a combo with Immobilize, keeping the Macaque Chief frozen in place, meaning I can land even more free hits to further whittle down its health bar. After my enemy snaps out of it, I'm prepared to use Stone Solid – a move that helps me deflect its next attack. Lovely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
