Popular Post Vemsie Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 This looks super cool. Fluid combat, great art direction, animal transformations, beautifully animated boss fights. Apparently set to come out on PC and next-gen consoles when it's done.https://gfycat.com/tiredcompassionateallensbigearedbat 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talvalin Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 That looks stunning. I hope that us poor console peasants also get a look in, as this could be something quite special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5R7 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 0_o looks better than mortal shell! If MS had any sense, they would be all over this to make it a console exclusive! They wont, but they should. It would more likely Sony went for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gerbik Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 A good rule of thumb seems to be that if it's sufficiently graphically impressive, Microsoft aren't interested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean Sony won't still look to snap it up, but this already has big money backers and there's the fact that Sony already published a Sun Wukong game just last year. I imagine the biggest hurdle with this finding a western audience will be the localisation, which is where most Chinese games have stumbled. Game Science have been hoovering up talent from outsourcing devs for a good while, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game Science have been hoovering up talent from outsourcing devs for a good while, though. I still think that creating a big local audience in China that would pay and support AAA game development is key to having more titles like this given how embedded it is in mobile games. I hear that it's got Bytedance's backing so hopefully it'll be well supported to the end and they can ship a good game. If they have a good game with these kind of visuals, cracking the western market shouldn't be that hard if they get a partner like Sony or a big publisher, the Journey to the West isn't obscure. The art direction is spot on and the reveal with 15mins of gameplay is better than pretty much all 'next-gen' showings so far. I love these concept arts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quest Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yeah, it's largely an eSports and mobile market here, but there's a growing and hungry audience for the big console-style AAA stuff. Ghosts of Tsushima seems to be doing big numbers on the import scene right now and I expect that Avengers game will do well, for better or worse. Eventually people will want things with those kind of production values, but geared more towards their own domestic tastes. I expect this is partly where this has come from, plus Journey West being fairly censor-proof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lying Cat Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Well, I'm pretty hyped about this. I'm pretty average as the Souls games and Sekiro just flat out kicked my arse, but this looks like it has a lot to distinguish itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gerbik Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 God, I hope it's more like Dark Souls in terms of difficulty and not Sekiro. If it's the latter, I won't be able to play it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdood Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looks amazing. It's hardly a Soulslike, is it? Looks more like a God of War adventurey type thing with lots of combat. Some of those enemy designs looks so great. A proper Monkey game omgomgomgomg <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdood Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yeah I guess, I just get hung up on things being called Souls like when they don't really look like Souls other than third person melee combat! It's just me being a dick The only thing that felt weird about watching that video to me was the speed of everything, trying to read / watch enemy attacks seemed very tricky. Guy barely took any damage though so I think we're more in for a breezy cinematic adventure rather than a gruelling slog. Loved him stashing weapons in his ears, and the megaman style stealing weapons / moves etc! Very exciting. Definitely more so than Mortal bloody Shell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's going to be there easy. The person playing clearly knew the attack patterns of the bosses (when to move out of the way, when to parry, how long you can safely attack for etc), so I think until you reach that level of experience, it could be tough going.

Oh for sure! But I meant when he did get hit, he didn't seem to lose much of the meter that I guess was hp at the bottom corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerokus Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Keep in mind it's pre-alpha, only a bit more developed than a tech demo. player damage might not even be in the game yet, certainly difficulty won't have been tuned whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FozZ Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 This is looking immense so far. The effects and animation quality in combat are fantastic, combat looks really solid for something deemed pre alpha, and if I'm not mistaken, until the location/enemy montage at the end, it didn't have any camera cuts, much like God of War (which they've claimed as an influence along with Sekiro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
