Wow!!! It looks incredible!
this must be fake right???
how a never seen developer can pull something like this and in a year where new gen is coming and console companys are struggling to show something that could appeal hardcore public and this is not showed in one of the conferences?
i will love this to be true but there's some projects that is really hard to believe at moment.
this is one of them.
plan 8, crimson desert, project awakening and atomic heart are other games that show supposed gameplay videos that are really hard to believe!!

Damn the gameplay looks really fun.
So I imagine you can switch between other characters you unlock or something.

Honestly, I can't think of a non-mobile, China-developed game that has been released here in the US, so I figured they would partner with someone for translation and distribution.
Is there a lot of stuff out there that I'm just not aware of?
It's made by the team behind Art of War: Red Tides, headed by former producer of Tencent's ambitious but unfruitful ARPG Asura.
I used to watch and enjoy Journey to The West TV series when I was young. I think it was Hong Kong production rather than mainland China.
Now, I just realized that I really need a game based on that series or novel. And this one seems to fulfill my need to play as Sun Wukong.

I can't get over the last minute. Holy SHIT! And goddamn at the animations. The fights had great impact! The way the boss licked it's paw? "Awwwwwww"! And when Sun Wukong changed character and lit it on fire and the wolf thing shook off the flames? Come the FUCK ON! This is incredible! Can't wait!
Soon as this hits PS5 in the west, I'm coppin.
I feel like there have been several Chinese Monkey King games that never really made a splash, but this looks like the one.

Okay so a couple of thoughts. This would easily be my most anticipated game. I don't think it would come to switch if released on "major platforms" like they said. There is another game this reminds me of. It was announced a couple years ago it's a indie game but it's 2d martial arts main character using a staff of some sort. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
In recent years we've seen a handful of chinese pc gams get localised via steam.
In fact I think that's why this looks so good. China has always been a pc focused market so any domestic game will target at least pc. They likely don't think about targeting consoles first like most western and Japanese developers.
I think I would like to play something like this. Lore I am not super familiar with and possibly great gameplay. I don't know enough about the industry side to know how good its gameplay and tech could be but this along with that Sony/China project really has me convinced (it's a) when (not an if) one of these projects lands it could be pretty massive and a hit.
I actually might know what you are referring to but forgot the title as well. Female protagonist in a sci-fi setting metroidvania or something I think?
CHP is for studios that need funding. Game Science is very well funded on its own.
Yes. Sun Wukong has a size-changing staff that he keeps in his ear when it is not in use.
I would not say a lot, but they certainly exist. The biggest is Perfect World, though that is a MMORPG, so it is basically the predecessor to mobile games. Most of the retail Chinese games with English localization of which I am aware are fairly small indie or small studio efforts, and they can be varied: Will: A Wonderful World (otome VN), Banner of the Maid (SRPG), Icey (beat'em up).
It feels like such a short time ago all the games coming out of China were pretty cheap-looking. They're improving so quickly, it's amazing. China will absolutely become a game dev powerhouse in the future, I'm certain.
I really loved that boss with the flaming staff (and the animal boss following it).
Huh, a Wukong origin story game with a Niohkiro formula.
Neat that his 72 transformations are part of core gameplay.

Wow, the graphic is so stunning and atmospheric! The animation impressed me the most. If they can maintain the quality throughout the whole game, we might have a winner.
The one game I dreamed of making. I really hope they dwelve into Wu Kong origin story before the events of the Journey to the West. I really loved the book telling about his adventures. If it's anything close to what I read, it's gonna be mental. So many different locations, so many opportunities for unique and interesting combat encounters. From what I've seen in this Alpha footage, they are on the right track. 👀
Yep. This looks almost too good to be true, coming from a developer I've never heard of. Hope it materializes into something I can actually play!
The ending of the trailer had him at the heavens fighting off hundreds of guards.
I assume that the ending of the game is him getting SLAPPED by Buddha.
Well, you learn something new every day.
It will be interesting to see if they end up working with someone on the international release, or use this as a chance to establish their own publishing presence. The translated blurb from the website does say that they're targeting "PC + all major host platforms".
That ending part when he is facing all those troops really sold me on the game. A proper monkey game would be amazing.
Bro wtf.
Y'all sure this ain't a target render? This looks more next-gen than most of the shit Sony and Microsoft have shown off so far. If this is real, and they aren't already working on the English version, Sony and Microsoft need to be on the phone with these motherfuckers like, now.
After looking at Sword & Fairy, Xuan Yuan Sword, Gujian, and now this, these Chiense singleplayer RPGs are getting better and better. It almost looks like the progression we saw CDProjekt go through from Witcher 1 to Witcher 3.

So according to there website, this run on UE4.....the art style is incredible....day 1 whenever its releases....
Whoa a AAA Sun Wukong Game?? Give it to me noooow! Whenever/if this releases, I hope they keep the Mandarin audio but with English subtitles.
Well that was incredible. Looks better than just about any next-gen game I've seen footage of, top to bottom. The sense of scale of the larger enemies, the character designs, the environments, combat animations, environmental destruction ... all seem top class.
Even if the footage isn't 1:1 with the final game, there wasn't anything that seemed like purely a target render, outside of the pacing of encounters being so quick. It all at least felt like it was in real-time.
I'm still stunned

no, that's the prologue of journey to the west actually
at the end of the fight against the big wolf, we see someone that looked like wukong at his rebellion form with the true jin gu staff blocking the player wukong with the grey staff
this is definitely set after wukong lost his rebellion
I meant that I think this game will only cover the prologue for Journey to the West - the 'origin story' for Wukong learning the 72 transformations, eating the elixirs of immortality, stealing the staff and gaining enough power to wreck havoc at the Heavenly Palace.
Holy hell that looked amazing. That wolf fur is next level. That montage at the end with those Titans and that Cronos scale boss...damn. This legit looks more impressive than most everything else next gen we've seen so far.
I think that is just trailer marketing shenanigans.
Aka "are you disappointed that this demo had Wukong looking like a chump? Look at end-game Wukong - aka rebellion form"
