I think the noise you are talking about may occure because of current I/O. If DirectStorage and Sampler Feedback Streaming gets enabled for PCs (It will happen with Windows 11 as far as i know) the motion visuals can be much more clean because the streaming will reach the game speed. This is my theory. Also i want to point out that i am still waiting for your PS5 and Native PS5 games Review. I have PS5 since April but it will be good to learn your opinion about it.

[@DamienYok]

The blur special effect every time a weapon is swinged is to represent the concept "qi" in Chinese/Japanese martial arts. A fist and blade movement exerted carrying how much Qi shows how powerful the movement is and the "qi" itself can damage enemies. And the qi definitely changes air flow so to make the blur effect as intended (my guess). It does not annoy me at all. On the contrary I find it so appealing and satisfying.

[@tonyleong4961]

good observation - it does seem like an artistic choice, though as Cherno mentioned, some of the blurring did have some dithering/jaggedness to it (its an early build so it might just be that)...did not know about 'Qi' but did think it was a stylistic choice borrowed from comics/manga. Those are static media however, where the artists tried to represent motion effect...I don't mind it, but do agree it could be tempered a little bit. Looks like a great game however and I am definitely looking forward to it.

[@marvelleonline]

It's definitely overbearing. I just wish it had a focal spot nearest to the weapon and not become this pool of vibe essentially. Just fade it in and out sooner

[@drakke125Channel]

its a bit like air bending because of heat in the summer or from the sun. The air is affected because of the force or the qi.

[@John_Smith5]

UE5 Matric tech demo please!

[@G-flo]

Dude do the UE5 Matrix Awakens Tech Demo!

Are you still doing reactions? You HAVE to react to that The Matrix: Awakens UE5 tech demo!

[@radaccigaming5301]

It's a Chinese Myth though, so the lore already exist for centuries :p It's a much anticipated game in China, because ppl have a very close relationship with the story.

[@SamPLayss]

We’ve been waiting nice to see you man! Hope life is treating u well.

[@ryebread495]

I’d love to see you react to the new matrix unreal engine 5 demo!!!

[@Roach22]

You seemed concerned regarding your commentary on the snow deformation. I wouldn't be too concerned as I'm sure most people would understand that this video is a reaction/commentary on the imperfections 'as well' as everything that is good, only immature people would think otherwise. There are many pretentious people in this world who would edit the video and take out that section before uploading. You didn't do that so hopefully people notice that you are just being honest and transparent with your opinion. Keep up the great content!

[@frozone-yeah]

Nice to see you upload another analysis reaction video. Black Myth Wukong certainly looks like a game that has a lot of time and cares put into not only the overall experience but also the attention to detail that many other games lack. I can only hope that when this game finally releases it not only keeps its promise of looking and feeling this way but also does extremely well. Because man, this is something that I want to play.

[@antwango]

its not a ubisoft openworld template game which is why everyone has gotten so used to the same old repeated soldier/robot/mech/bald space marine type characters.... all the western type games have this similar character design??? the fortnite cartoon type / overwatch type characters??? even the new saints row??? sadly lost its crazy characters from before? funnily enough i was expecting biomutant to look like this in my mind when it was originally unveiled all those years back.... wukong has the aesthetic down.. its realistic tone while also having humanoid animal characters etc...

[@lordtyrus21]

That kind of noise is a classic from UE, you can see it already in UE4 games. I assume that's come from the AA.

[@KillahMate]

The noise is definitely the UE temporal antialiasing clashing with the motion blur and the hair shader(s). As you say, UE4 never really fixed this properly. Supposedly the temporal antialiasing in UE5 is significantly improved on the next-gen hardware, so maybe by final release Epic manages to fix this.

[@lordtyrus21]

@@KillahMate I hope so!

[@rpieter7]

Can the noise be DLSS? The studio said this demo also showcased how they were using DLSS to get higher FPS. (Great video btw)

[@notlekrut]

The noise in the motion blur has a near perfect checkerboard pattern, dithering. DLSS doesn't do that, or at least it shouldn't. If anything, DLSS or even any other temporal AA would most likely minimize it.

[@birdyashiro1226]

I think the blurry wave is 'Qi'（气. If you played Nioh before you would know 'Ki'. It's a kind of power from inside.

@@antwango why can't any retro 2d look like metal slug instead of Atari is beyond me

[@ArielCleirigh]

It has been a while but you are back cherno with another cool descriptive video¡¡¡

[@radaccigaming5301]

I think that way too, the more realistic something aims to be, the more picky i get about the details, while if it's a simple game like little devil within, there's not really anything in particular to nit-pick about. You stare yourself blind on the details here, but in LDW, you just enjoy the simple and cute aesthetic of the game. I'm always amazed at the details you notice though 🤓

[@pgrzh7970]

The noise is introduced by DLSS. This game uses DLSS to super sample to 4K.

[@TCCTheDeveloper]

The checkerboard noise may be they used transparent meshes for the blur effect. The cost for transparency can be reduced by masking out some pixels.

[@aloorinithin5099]

pls do more of these ,really looking forward ,from INDIA

[@deerfeeder]

8:33 The noise. If I have to guess it is RTX ray tracing.

[@batmanofsweden5920]

Finally someone points out the swing-effects being used - I want it to be removed or decreased visually by 90%. It brings my eyes to it instead of other effects.

[@aaronstallings4996]

The motion blur you're talking about with the characters, that is styled to look like brush strokes in chinese paintings, but the motion blur on the environment doesn't look as intentional

[@antwango]

oh do you mean the shadow dodge thing from wukong he leaves behind an after image? is that the brush stroke effect? im also finding it hard to tell because of so much detail and the compression but yeah on screen playing that would make it look and fit in with "journey to the West" as a mythical moving story/painting!!! good spot!!!

[@nathijomac]

Wikipedia says this is coming out on next gen consoles as well!

[@codac7608]

The blurry waves are definitely intentional, think of like Chinese martial arts movies

[@Carigon]

Maybe that particular motion blur is supposed to be more reminiscent of action lines? like something that evokes that comic-y action line effects? doubt it, but it could be an artistic choice. Maybe.

[@eto1842]

the studio is targeting a 2023 release but there is no specific date yet.

[@feldartillerie1620]

There has already been good snow in some games like God of War, even there it melts when you hit it with the Chaos Blades. Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us 2 and Red Dead Redemption. Mostly made with Teselation or Voxel

[@thefoss721]

Great review! One of the best videos so far … though I Definitely wanted to see more natural physics based movement from snow and the trees snapping, ice breaking, snow falling off the roof, and the weapons making solid contact with the other fighters so it’s punchy but I’m stoked to see all this come to fruition and hope they hear your review because that swinging motions were a bit heavy I totally agree Thanks man!

[@MisterSynonym]

*Question for the comments:* What's the best snow physics you've ever seen from any game?

Horizon Zero Dawn: Frozen Wilds DLC

[@donutello_]

Also, the Last of Us part 2. The blood deforms the snow as it flows away from a body. Very cool.

[@KillahMate]

@@Stimros_halabad The blood in TLoU2 might actually be the best-implemented blood in any game. Clearly a huge amount of effort went into making it behave as realistically as possible.

[@kronostvx]

We gotta get a review on the new God of War and the Spider-Man 2 trailers!

[@flimermithrandir]

Yeah the Snow looks good and its nice that it interacts with Chars and Weapons and Skills but it indeed looks wrong at Times. Often… to be more clear. I am not a Dev though so i cant say anything in Detail about it. I just think… there arent that many Games that actually do break the Environment/Floor/Ground in the same Way. There are Games out there that do have Partikels and skills showing small Rocks and Things but they vanish pretty quickly again. This Szene however seems to actually update the whole Time. From that Viewpoint its kinda impressive for me. (But i can see that being an Limit of (Console) VRAM for Example). The other Thing that stood out to me was the Animation from our Character. That seemed kinda off at Times as well as he seemed… to turn slowly and he als seemed to only have about 8 Directions he can run to? Not really full 360 Degree Controls? Maybe its just me and of corse its still an relatively early Game Dev Stage so… that will probably get some Polish still. I assume at least. What i have heard about the Games Story… not much… but i heard the Game Story is kinda common known in Asia and the Name of that Source is Journey to the West. I know One more Thing about it but i guess that might be seen as an Spoiler so i dont write it here. Its just a Name but still.

[@stealthmaster6472]

That thumbnail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂

[@flynnfittz]

The noise is from TAA

[@soyboi8440]

That or DLSS cause the marketing mentions the game uses UE5 and DLSS.

[@SebHighDef]

youre alive :O

[@juggernautjunky]

I was assuming most of the noise in the image is due to reconstruction artifacts? UE5 renders internally at 1080p and reconstructs to 4K, so I can imagine finer details during faster motion will exhibit more artifacts. I'm very curious as to how DLSS will effect performance. Lumen is extremely resource intensive, even rendering internally at 1080p. Nvidia recorded their footage at 4K60fps using DLSS, but I'm surprised that a game looking this good can run at 60fps, even on PC, when UE5 already internally renders scenes at 1080p.

[@servercabinet]

[@georgeyu49]

Not much appreciation shown to others' work, and quite picky. I wonder if the attitude might be slightly different if this was not from a Chinese background game development team. The background of this story Journey to the West is vast and profound with strong connection to Buddhism and Taoism as well as the Chinese culture. Sadly most viewers don't seem to be able to even notice that, but only the picture quality and how Unreal 5 stuns. The technical comments is not that much relevant to what this game is bringing onto the players. But I guess it is too much to ask a westerner to get interested in the culture just with a trailer or teaser. Let's hope this game gets released as scheduled!

I got platinum on the game and uninstalled it after about 2 days lol. I love the game, I really do but it's so damn short and easy to platinum. That being said, a friend of mine came over a couple of weeks ago and I reinstalled it to show off what the PS5 can do, and oh man that 120hz 40FPS upgrade to Fidelity/Graphics mode is a game changer. I wish it was there at launch and I wouldn't have been so torn between the best graphics 30FPS mode or sacrificing visuals for 60FPS stability.

Actually the demo looking at here running on rtx 2070 s, it's highly possible current PS5 and xbox sx runs this at 60fps with some upscaling techniques

[@microgamestation]

I always felt that the weapon blur effects are very... PS3-era? It feels a tad dated and cheap. Like, the game looks stunning, but I am endlessly distracted by those blur effects.

[@walfiskengames]

Are the artefacts checkerboard rendering?

[@tofuteh2348]

My main criticism of what we've seen so far is just how dull the colors are for a piece of JTTW media. Even when reading it, you could tell just how colorful and vibrant the world and its characters were. Dont get me wrong, the game looks good- its just not the look i expect from this story

[@natn41r]

Fits in with the overall dark tone, I suppose. I mean, the novel's Wukong is a rowdy and funny fellow...the protagonist here seems like the silent, brooding type.

[@birdyashiro1226]

I get your point. But that's probably why the game called 'Black Myth' :'p

[@andytlwang]

Ho boy, well the game is Black Myth...a dark twist on the JttW novel I presume. PS: Pastel/matte tone has been quite popular in China lately since the 2018 due to popular TV dramas.

[@tofuteh2348]

@@andytlwang perhaps. I guess im just not a fan of that direction since one of the reasons why i think it stands out from other stories like water margin is how it doesnt take itself as seriously and managing to feel heartfelt while balancing comedy (kind of) and seriousness

[@andytlwang]

@@tofuteh2348 Yes I see what do you mean, that JttW is one of the Four Great Classics as the only fantasy-based story. But base on what I can see from developer, this is exactly what he's interested in. Kinda like action-remakes of the Disney films. How Maleficient was betrayed and turned into a fairy of vengeance; or Cruella hated Dalmatian due to they were her mother's killers. I think it is the same logic GS wants to look at why the JttW pilgrimage in the book was filled with demons, many of which were objects or pets of the gods. But I do understand where you are coming from; like I would be upset if the action-remake of pokemon was dark and twisted. Though I must say that I treat JttW more like a fable than mythology as I think the story itself actually have philosophical meanings buried in it.

[@blindlight9887]

The game is planned for 2023

[@andytlwang]

No official date yet, that is a placeholder date. Sorry mate.

[@kushy-]

Is that why they delayed it for a year because it going to be on unreal engine 5 makes me more hyped. I wish I had a high iq as you

[@antwango]

small scale indie team with access to mocap studio, full orchestra and quoir XD and the scary thing?!! This is most probably just only the beginning!!!? "Journey to the West" and its universe and characters is epic!!! If Lord of the rings was supposed to be unfilmable then Journey to the West is doubly so! The characters and humanoids are animals, half animals half human, or just things lol then there are the realms or universe within the universe craziness, GODS, DEMONS This is an "Indie" team getting to grips with UE5??? what happens when theyre making UE5 sing???! but then my realistic side will punch me in the gut and say this will get downgraded and become a mobile game because it has to be on everything!
