Wu Kong skipping Xbox is pretty crazy.

I literally did a double take.

 

[Diddy X]

No xbox?

 

[Aion002]

No Xbox?

Anyway... Day one so far.

 

[XXL]

No xbox?

Doesn't look like it.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Down AF! Surprised they didn't show gameplay with that release date trailer.

 

[DavJay]

My theory is that they didn’t want to do the Series S version or it’s too much work and not worth it for 10 people

 

[Roufianos]

Lame, show us gameplay

 

[LordOfChaos]

Hope this pans out. More games culturally rooted in China/India/Asia will be cool, bring new talent pools into the mix (I know they do outsource work already, but this is uniquely them)

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Wu Tang financial

 

[Jormatar]

Lol at this game skipping Xbox. Or maybe it's coming later once they have figured out what the fuck to do with Series S optimization.

 

[SenkiDala]

Wasn't it officially announced on Xbox initially ? Cancelling the game at the last moment is crazy ?

 

[Barlow]

 

[mayham2199]

lol skipping Xbox insane. So glad I left that ecosystem after 360.

Shinobi is saying it's coming to Xbox at a later date.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Damn love the classic theme from old film.

 

[Elios83]

Looks fantastic, I've been following it with interest since it was announced.
I hope it's good and after we got good korean stuff with Stellar Blade now it's the turn of a chinese studio.

 

[jm89]

Series s issues strikes again?

On which platforms can I play Black Myth: Wukong?
PC and PS5 users can enjoy the full game starting August 20, 2024. We are currently optimizing the Xbox Series X|S version to meet our quality standards, so it won't release simultaneously with the other platforms. We apologize for the delay and aim to minimize the wait for Xbox users. We will announce the release date as soon as it meets our quality standards.

 

[Gideon]

59.99 Ohhh nice.. Definitely day 1

 

[Stafford]

Not skipping Xbox, it will be later though.

 

[mayham2199]

So looks like the Series S did strike again.

 

[GHG]

Glad that they aren't having to delay it for other platforms because of the console which shall not be mentioned.

 

[Swauny Jones]

I'm so excited to play this game

 

[XXL]

Series s issues strikes again?

Crazy

 

[Gaiff]

Series s issues strikes again?

Without a doubt.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Series s issues strikes again?

Welp another Baldur's Gate 3 situation for Microsoft.

Series S was a mistake.

 

[FlyyGOD]

So looks like the Series S did strike again.

So series s can run Elden Ring , Wu Long and Hellblade 2 but not this? I call bullshit.

 

[Pelta88]

Series S is an anchor that creates default exclusives.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

I've been interested in this game since it was announced by the more we get, the more skeptical I am. Game is out in less than 3 months and we don't even get a small trailer? I hope I'm dead wrong, I just got a bad feeling this not meeting expectations.

Also LMAO at the whole Xbox portion. The series S was an idiotic decision when MS announced it and it somehow still is worse than I thought. Not only did they lose mind share from the previous gen, they got a paper weight delaying games for their consoles. Good grief

 

[Mr Moose]

So series s can run Elden Ring , Wu Long and Hellblade 2 but not this? I call bullshit.

PS4 can run Elden Ring.
It's coming to Xbox at a later date, doesn't mean they aren't having issues with Series S (doesn't mean they are either but we've seen games delayed before because of it).

 

[GHG]

So series s can run Elden Ring

Crossgen.

, Wu Long

Crossgen.

and Hellblade 2

30fps.

but not this? I call bullshit.

No, just ignorance.

 

[DavJay]

It’s like buying a 5 pack of gum for $1 and trying to sell it for .25 cents each. Not worth the effort.

 

[JTCx]

"Series S won't hold anything back, just turn down the settings on the sliders."

I wonder where that energy went.

 

[Quezacolt]

So series s can run Elden Ring , Wu Long and Hellblade 2 but not this? I call bullshit.

This game seems to also be using the full UE5 features, from what we know, at least on pc. It's a bigger game than hellblade 2. Also, it's not a crossgen game, so you can't compare it with elden ring or wu long, both were made witgh last gen in mind.

 

[T4keD0wN]

So series s can run Elden Ring , Wu Long and Hellblade 2 but not this? I call bullshit.

Minimum PC requirements say 16gb RAM so it seems like theyre still optimizing for series s

 

[GHG]

"Series S won't hold anything back, just turn down the settings on the sliders."

I wonder where that energy went.

They are blaming the devs now.

It's hilarious that the finger gets pointed everywhere other than where it matters.

No, just ignorance.

Hellblade 2 is unreal engine 5 . Tell me another unreal engine 5 game that runs better. Black Myth looks like a last gen game.

 

[solidus12]

No Xbox version?

 

[XXL]

Hellblade 2 is unreal engine 5 . Tell me another unreal engine 5 game that runs better. Black Myth looks like a last gen game.

 

[Kurotri]

It's ALWAYS Xbox that gets the shaft, I never know whether to laugh or cry.

If it "looks like a last gen game" then it sounds like you won't miss it much then.

Cool I'll take the word of numerous developers who have already complained about the Series S in the past over random forum posters who have never developed a game in their life. How many dev complaints and postponed games do you guys need to see before you get it through your heads that the series s is causing devs issues?

 

[JTCx]

Black Myth looks like a last gen game.

This is the type of shit you say when you're fuming. I love it.

 

[Aion002]

Hellblade 2 is unreal engine 5 . Tell me another unreal engine 5 game that runs better. Black Myth looks like a last gen game.

Hellblade 2 is a 6 hours interactive movie where you fight one enemy at time with limited combat options that feels more like qte sequences in small arenas.... While Wukong is basically Sekiro next gen.

 

[solidus12]

It's ALWAYS Xbox that gets the shaft, I never know whether to laugh or cry.

Never forget

 

[JTCx]

On par for the brand. Apparently looks like last gen game now. "Lazy" devs indeed.

 

[Banjo64]

IT’S THE SERIES S

 

[mayham2199]

At least Larian shut a lot of these people up. It wasn't until Larian had issues that everyone had to put down the "lazy devs" comment because they knew it made no sense when talking about Larian.

You're right to be skeptical. Have you seen the gameplay videos? It looks like boring shit.

 

[FlyyGOD]

If it "looks like a last gen game" then it sounds like you won't miss it much then.

Graphics dont determine whether I buy a game or not. Game doesn't look like it's pushing any technical boundaries of this generation.
