WHEN IS THIS GAME COMING OUT?! NEW Black Myth Wukong Gameplay

[@TheAnimeGYt]

I feel like this demonstration felt a lot more Dark Souls and a lot less of him having his powers, almost as if they want to show you there's multiple ways to fight and using all the abilities isn't the only way to win

[@konnichiyawasan1619]

if its like dark souls then he must be dead by now. the one of the main aspects of soulsborne games (also sekiro) is that every hit feels more painful . the potential for enemy to just 2-3 hits you

[@tomcheng1026]

Feel more a God of War style gameplay vs soul (e.g., no stamina management in dodging), but def borrow the bonfire/shrine/grace system

[@somerandomguy9868]

@@konnichiyawasan1619 they probably picked either the easiest difficulty (we know there will be multiple difficulties) or just made the enemies weaker so they could show more of the combos and moves

Here's a summary of the story. Tang Sanzang is a monk, he's traveling from China to India with 3 disciples, monkey, piggy and sandy (lake demon). They have to walk on foot, so they encountered many demons. All demons either wants to eat or marry him. In his past life, Tang Sanzang was a god. He wanted to be reincarnated into a human. So as an human, he's very special. If you eat him you will become immortal. So of course, demons wants to eat him. He's also very handsome, so some lady demons wants to marry him. The Spider Demons are seven sisters living in a silk cave. Tang Sanzang went to their hut asking for food. But after a couple minutes in, he suspects these women are demons so he tried to leave. But they captured him using their webs. Sun Wukong (monkey) marched in, defeated the demons. So the spider sisters had no choice but to released the monk. The spider sisters were later squashed to death by Sun Wukong when they tried to capture Tang Sanzang again.

@@The_Art_of_AI_888 yes，According to the description of the novel, the spider should be a mother, but the voice in the video is like a daughter. Even Chinese players can't determine the nature of the spider. They are not sure of his plot line, so they can only guess

[@rickn6923]

@@The_Art_of_AI_888 If the game was just a word for word retelling of the original then there would be no intrigue into the story being told in the game. Obviously the developer is going to take some creative license with the plot direction, characters, etc..

i think the spiders and the sisters are based off the "The Spider Demons (蜘蛛精) are seven sisters based in Silk Cave (盤絲洞) at Silk Ridge (盤絲嶺). As their names suggest, their true forms are spiders. Tang Sanzang stumbles upon their thatched hut while begging for alms and tries to leave after suspecting that they are demons. However, it is too late as the demons emit spider silk from their navels and spin a web to trap Tang Sanzang. They are defeated by Sun Wukong later and have no choice but to release Tang Sanzang. The spiders are later squashed to death by Sun Wukong"

[@MegaLouLuo]

that first part is to just showcase that particular boss and how to escape from battle. He used clones to keep that big head boss occupied while he retreated. And at the check in point? That first option is to rest (recover), that is why the screen blinked.

[@karmatem]

wukong and characters inspired by him have always interested me along with other journey to the west inspired things, so this game is right up my alley. the graphics look great of course but it’s the tactical looking gameplay that has me the most intrigued. im super exited for this!

[@zmandemon3]

bro why is there so many people being negative in yo comment??

[@ph4755]

*SPOILER Ahead + BACKGROUND Story: The developer has told that they are gonna change the original story to create another version of Journey to the West (that happens after the ending of novel). This particular clip is telling us the story between 2 important characters in the novel: Zhu Bajie (Male) who is one of the 3 companions like Wukong for their monk teacher to protect him along the journey to west, while the 2nd important character here is ChangEr, which is the old lady presented in this video. *Original Background Story: In the original story, Zhu Bajie was originally a god in heaven but broke the rules by falling in love with a fairy goddess, ChangEr. Not only falling in love with her, he even accidentally caused a chaos in heaven while persuing his love and to get attention from ChangEr. Sadly, he only found that ChangEr has no interest with him and because of the mess he created, he is being punished to the Earth to experience unlimited torturing life reincarnations that caused by his love for others, which is one of the most suffering causes - Betrayed by Love. In one of his reincarnations, he became a half Pig half Man who falls in love with a girl. Of course you would see the ending of this one-way-love isn't gonna end well but he is eventually saved by his Monk Teacher and promise to help the Monk Teacher by joining him to the journey to the west, while helping and learning the way of life in the journey. *Game Story: The developer rethinks how the story may goes with the original story. What if.... ChangEr is actually in love with him as well, while breaking the rules of heaven together back then? Of course they made some adjustments in the original legend as well. In this story, ChangEr is also punished by the Gods of Heaven, and she is turned into a Spider Demon. Why a spider demon you may ask...For those who are well versed with Ancient Chinese Legends, there was a group of fairies which we normally call The Seven Fairies who are the Goddess of Weaving (An interesting fact why the Spider Demon sisters are normally came with 7 person even in the original story). There was a saying that one of the Seven Fairies is actually ChangEr. Note that this is a punishment for the love that is prohibited in Heaven among gods, the punishment by heaven usually comes in an irony way. Previously, ChangEr was one of the Goddess of Weaving in the form of Silk Moth (A bug that produces silk by sacrifing itself) with the spirit of scarificing herself to help people, but now, she has became a Spider Demon who weaves only to kill, not for love. How sad and irony is this punishment... Not only that, remember that Female Spider will eat the Male after the intercourse...Along the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, both of them met in this life, but became enemies, since one is protecting his Monk Teacher while the other side is trying to eat the Monk Teacher. Because of their positions in this life, it looks like the god is still punishing both of them in this life in the crueliest way possible... But in this particular clip, the developer is showing the idea that when the Journey to West ends, ChangEr is still waiting for him despite after so many years...Is the groom here Zhu Bajie? Not exactly. It's actually Wukong changes its form into Zhu Bajie, and pretends to get caught by the daughters of ChangEr to have a chance to slip in this place as he has something important to get from here (no more spoiler for you). Of course, if you watch this clip again, you would see that the Elder Daughter and 2nd Daughter actually knew it's Wukong while the others not, but they still let him continues as they know how suffering is their mother all these years, and hope to give their mother a chance to marry the guy she loves along these years... Well.. sad to say that in this game story dimension, it's very likely that both Zhu Bajie and especially ChangEr, would still undergo the suffering again by not being together. There are actually a lot messages and easter eggs inside this clip, but the English translation here is so bad, it's like totally a different script with the original Mandarin one. If you know how many ancient stories reference as well as real life structures the developer is using in this clip, you would be amazed. Also for the song that being played in this video, some of the lyrics are actually written with the ancient chinese books reference that is hinting us this is a story between Zhu Bajie & ChangEr instead of Wukong. And if you look closely in the Spider Monster in the end, you can see there's a Moth at the back of Spider. Why? It's because this is a hint for audience as Moth in Mandarin is the "Er" in "ChangEr". This is why I wanted to write this comment so bad so all people from anywhere in the world could understand that it's so much more than just a good graphic game. Rewatch this video after reading this, you would have a whole new experience! Peace!

[@maxchen9185]

The old lady is probably one of the 7 spider monsters disguised as beautiful women in the series (I believe). And the POV character is probably Piggy, not Wukong. One of the many fan theories of AJTW is that the spiders actually fancied Piggy, and people wrote love stories about them (its kinda like Doujinshi, if you catch my drift).
