Black Myth Wukong PS5 And Xbox Drama Coverage! Both Have FAULTS. LETS TALK. PONYS ARE WRONG.

[@hvdiv17]

its not the console its the inexperienced dev team that cant optimize its not even optimized on pc.

[@neilmacdonald4913]

Yeh its still unoptimized bro even on pc but regardless am still enjoy the game .

[@Pruflas-Watts]

Bingo! Black Myth Wukang performs terribly on the base PS5 but a PC with a Ryzen 3600 and a RX 6700 10 GB can squeeze out better performance and resolution and similar settings. This doesn't excuse the fact that Black Myth Wukong is simply a terrribly unoptimized game on any platform, including PC. Most PC-only snobs completely ignore traversal stutter, engine shader compilation stutter, 1% low performance stutters, and I see big channels like "Toasty Bros" making $559 budget builds and pairing a Ryzen 5500 with a B550m MOBO and RX 6600.... PC "gurus" literally giving out terrible PC building advice at the budget end by using a PCIe gen 3 only CPU on a Gen 4 motherboard with a entry level GPU that only operates at 8x PCIe lanes, so they literally cripple their game performance, cut down their bandwidth, and have even 1% lows... These morons all skew bench marks and relevant data as well. These are the same types of nerds that give half-assed reviews and indepth dives of the issues with unoptimized UE5 shovel wear. Developers can optimize for Series S and they absolutely should. It should be the platform given special treatment. Odds are, if it runs well enough on Series S, it will scale up and everyone will win. We are living in the reality of dev skill issues in the industry as a whole. No platform is being optimized and I'm deeply saddened to see the Series S get treated the way it does.

[@Naruxos07]

It doesn't sound like the dev is blaming Xbox. Sounds like they're blaming themselves for a lack of experience and that they're not experienced enough to design around the Series S limitations. They lack of experience in optimization is pretty evident in the PS5 version of the game ironically enough, and the Pro isn't that big of an upgrade based on other videos. Of course, the fanboys will pin the blame on Xbox. But that quote about "missing the Xbox Robe" implies that they WANT to release it on Xbox. Honestly, I think this situation might be more complicated than we all might think. Conspiracy theory time, but we may not see Wukong on Xbox for a very long while for geopolitical reasons. Microsoft, along with the other tech giants, does work for the US Government. It's an open secret, and Microsoft is the biggest of the bunch. The US Government and its allies makes use of their services. In 2022, Game Science received a grant from the city of Hangzhou to aid in the development of Black Myth Wukong. So while Game Science itself may not be as close to the CCP as Tencent is, the game is partially funded by the Chinese government. And given the success of Wukong, it's likely that Game Science might grow closer to the CCP. Because of the powers that be, it might be difficult for Xbox to send some help to Game Science with the optimization of the game as it's a common practice for console mfgs to sometimes step-in and help to get a 3rd party game to run better. If politics on top of inexperience are truly are the reason why Game Science are struggling to get the game on Xbox, then it would explain why Phil Spencer was very tight lipped about why Black Myth isn't on Xbox. He can't just blurt out "Well I'd like the game to come to Xbox, but we can't help out this company that gets money from the CCP." That would cause a massive shitshow.

[@xOriginalGamerOG76x]

I'm playing on the PS5. Game runs fine for me. Not perfect by a long shot. But it runs well enough. Xbox should let the X release and tge series s to follow when ready. Series X customers are the ones losing out.

[@ghcfuj77557]

AMD simply performs awfully on UE5, now I’m not sure for this game, quite sure it didn’t use UE5 but I’m telling you, if you use a crazy detailed engine and don’t optimize it, it’s not a good time

[@neilmacdonald4913]

Regarding Black Myth Wukong , i still get stutters on the pc , for my specs see previous comment , but am patient and its a great game .

[@ctestdummy83]

I watch you everyday on my ride home from work and I just wanna let you know that you do a really great job. Keep up the good work!

[@AscendedGaming777]

Thank you brother.

[@Crea_TV]

Didn't this game make like 2 billion dollars? 1 billion from digital only for PC and PS5 and the other billion from selling 20 million physical copies again for 10 bucks more than the previous release. Zero coverage on that btw, its been a couple months now and no one is discussing how they likely doubled their money, they only spent what 60 million? Talk about dust into gold but I find it important that they might have due to the fact that the game became physical.

[@AscendedGaming777]

China is like 80+ % of that. Not that its bad that they support their own game but its kind of a monopoly on sales. Pc made vast majority

[@Crea_TV]

@@AscendedGaming777 Fair points largely because for release the game was digital only and console users will always prefer to own what they purchase. But now that the game is physical, it's basically a re release and no one says a thing, I recall when I got the game for Christmas it was out of stock in minutes lol.

[@devilshooter126m8]

I go with facts and here are some facts several devs spoke on XsS RAM issues. Baldur Gate 3 needed to cut spilt screen RAM issue. Del Walker openly spoke on XsS RAM issues And yes optimization look up BMW out of Bounds secrets LOTS of space that does NOTHING in the game that's EATING RAM. in conclusion play on PC, game runs like trash on PS5, and would run even worse on both XsX/XsS

[@jamesthomas2410]

The issue these days is devs want to brute force everything via hardware instead of fine tuning their software as it should be which would allow the hardware to do more larian after taking it's time to optimize properly for the S got an extra 30% overhead and actually helped the development of the game on the X and other platforms people hyperfocus on the delay but not the actual results which helped the game BMW on the other hand is an unoptimized mess through and through that needed another 6 months to a year of dev time no matter the platform it's not even optimized on PC and it's about time they admitted to their incompetence of actually optimizing said title and given themselves more time instead of feeling some type of way for not winning game of the year put that energy into making the game perform better

[@geminye79]

People who don’t have high end rigs and only own an Xbox are being screwed over by Microsoft. They could help the devs optimize, but they choose not to. I know all the elitist are gonna giga chad and say “who cares bruh buy a pc like me”

[@AscendedGaming777]

Ya i agree in them being more involved with all the money they have too.

[@cun7us]

There are so many different variables and speculation. Maybe Microsoft did give them more help for all we know, but I really don't see how they could. These devs receive dev kits well in advance and they're meant to be the coding masters, not the platform. The only way Microsoft screwed people over is with the parity rule because Series X owners are being held back by the S, but the vast majority of games release on both consoles without delay.

[@geminye79]

@ the devs admitted they lack experience and needed help. It’s a new fact to us now, but Microsoft knew all along.

[@cun7us]

@@geminye79 needed help how though? I don't see what more Microsoft could have done, it's not like the hardware is going to change. The issue appears to be with the developers.

[@geminye79]

@ Yes but that’s the point. They clearly stated they lacked the ability to make it work on their own. You don’t think Microsoft could use their teams to help aid or facilitate the port to get the game to their loyal players waiting? Instead they or everyone else blamed Sony. Microsoft wants take stupid chances and have the S hold them back (you can’t deny the S hurts them) they should have helped somehow or made clear from the begining “hey we fd up and our S is a disaster, but too bad, buy a pc”

[@itsatrap4986]

Nah. Fully blame Phil Spencer for lying to their own fan base. Xbox fanboys is just as bad as Sony ponies. How is BMW a Sony exclusive when it's on PC???

[@alvinamana1459]

No Xbox fanboys are not PS5 pro fanboys literally go to PC post to brag about how the pro is the same as a 4090 an how if you own a PC you are cheap but you spent 4k on a 4090 an both are lies

i have a high end pc ( 13700k 32gb of ram and a xbox series s , i use gamepass ultimate to enjoy well gaming , ) to blame the series s is just excuses , but ponies are gonna bitch about any thing they can lol ,peace out bro .

[@AndiKoehn]

What's the purpose of the Series S to begin with and who would buy such crap? Being cheap on their gaming equipment, than start complaining that their games run like sh*to, lol.

[@Captain-America4992]

[@bombyo3634]

Game was so badly optimized smh. I got tired of is at chp 6 and quit. Game just felt repetitive i just wanted to beat yellow loong and Scorpio lord and yin tigwr

[@m3kbeatz]

I own xbox series s and ps5 pro. Xbox series s is fantastic console for the price. Just playing indiana jones on series s is great, space marine 2, etc... Dont see why wukong in some time wouldn't be playable on series s.

[@xOriginalGamerOG76x]

The Series S has less computing power than a PS4 Pro and considerably less than a Xbox One X. So yeah, the Series is weak.

[@miguelroman4294]

The SS is on par with the 4pro, both are 4 TF but the SS is a new gen GPU compared to the 4pro. All the new features of rdna2 along with the 3.6G CPU and the fast NVME leave the 4pro in the dust! Watch Digital Foundry's Series S vs PS4 Pro. The SS came out on top by a large margin.

[@FlipFrack]

bro its crazy Newsweek hoped this story and put out a article. i guess they are PlayStation fan boys over there

[@overheatedeskim054]

They're trying to tell us it's the XSS even tho it runs on steam deck and the Series S looks and runs every single game better than steam deck. Also just want to point out MS said "they prefer not to comment on deals" not that there was one and them saying it's not "Series S limitations" that is also true as the developer said himself it's a skill issue that he lacks experience

[@nicekix3038]

The Steam Deck has more shared memory than the Series S

[@overheatedeskim054]

@@nicekix3038 and yet Series S runs every game better performance and visuals so all they have to do is render Series S down and set it at 30fps then it can release on Xbox. Optimizing exsperience is the issue not XSS i mean look at Cyberpunk and that's got 30 and mostly flawless 60fps. All MS have to do is format a Series S in handheld form and they can complete with Steam Deck and beat them considering how cheap Series S is.

[@nicekix3038]

@@overheatedeskim054 The inexperience developers is one part of it, but the Series S is still creating a barrier for those inexperienced developers. The Steam Deck isn’t creating the same barrier for devs, because the Steam Deck has the same amount of shared memory as the PS5, and Series X. At the end of the day, this is MS fault for only putting 10 GBs of shared memory in the Series S, when the Steam Deck has 16 GBs of shared memory. There’s no excuse, but y’all gonna defend MS, and the Series S no matter what

[@overheatedeskim054]

@@nicekix3038 yeah funny that every game that was a "problem" for XSS all released solid games on XSS........SQKTJL devs was the first to call it a potato what happened....it released at 1080p 60fps theirs no barriers just dev's biting off more than they can chew and they can't let the XSS power pick up the slack like they can with PS5 & XSX because PS5 version is in bad shape it's blurry and drops outside VRR range none stop that was the same for BG3 the studio said they were having issues with Series S but then released the PS5 version running at 22fps like your not gonna tell me XSS is a problem when they can't even get PS5 right

[@nicekix3038]

@@overheatedeskim054 Game Science admitted that their inexperience is the reason they’re having issues with the Series S. If Wukong runs poorly on PS5 do you really think it will run any better on a weaker console like the Series S? The Series S is creating problems for developers because it has less shared memory(RAM) than the Series X, PS5, and Steam Deck. Don’t get mad at other ppl for pointing out the Series S limitations, get mad at MS for creating the Series S, and tethering it to the Series X. If MS would’ve released an all digital Series X from the beginning instead of the Series S, Wukong would already be on Xbox.

[@MichaelM28]

The developer literally said it's the Series S that's at fault. Cry harder xbots 😂😂😂
