Funny thing is, their size is the only thing impressive about them in the novel since Wukong defeated them pretty easily. Compared to the other crazy things in the novel they aren't all too powerful.
Luckily I’m Chinese and watched the journey to the west as a kid n all I got to say is that this game is Insane and the end where u go to heaven is gonna be hella of a battle

@@suzeel This game got literally tens of millions of attention from us Chinese and everyone gathered information on where the team got their inspiration. Besides a lot of them are already super famous among us.
The core plot of this game is based on "Journey to the West", one of the four classic Chinese classics. Without this understanding, you may not be able to understand some of the settings in the game.
Dude I know about Journey to the West because I watch a Chinese TV series with that Tittle... I love history-mythology story.... Can you tell me the others 3?
In case ppl didn't know, that bend of flowing cloth at the end behind the old be signifies he being someone who have assented to godhood. It you recall from many anime, this is commonly an item with god or spiritual characters (like Aqua, that Deadgod girl in Only God knows, etc..) So he is likely the story teller telling his own story, whether you believe him is your choice.
Just to add In Chinese mythology, the strips of cloth or scarves are often called "xiangyun" (香云) or "incense clouds," which represent the divine aura or halo surrounding the goddess. In Japanese mythology, the strips of cloth or scarves are often called "hagoromo" (羽衣), which means "feather robe" or "celestial robe,"
@@borischan5252 that alot more sadder to me because just like I've seen too many people who watched this and were like "oh my God he's so cool , who is this guy!"..... really....ya'll don't know who wukong is??? really dude , Goku character was literally based on fucking wukong , power pole , THE NIMBUS! LIKE COME ON
if you know about the tale and the fiction, this would be like 10 times awesomeness. Deeping meanings hidden under every detail design and under every word. Easters everywhere if you know about the story. All asian kids are about to pee in pants. The scale, scope of the game...simply insane. If theres an Oscar for gaming industry, this is it. not to mention theres only 30 people in the team, these dudes have their faith on it, no wonder came up with such master piece. The music too is mind blowing. omg fuck words cant describe my feelings, I need this game in my life i dont care how much it costs. I have a feeling this game is gonna be deep, its gonna redefine my life purpose after playing through it. a lot of the game locations are real life land mark still existing nowadays god damn it
11:19 "Ok you pulled the stick out of his ear, that's a BIG OL' ear swab there"... Actually pretty funny because in some interpretations he disguises it as Ear wax or a toothpick behind his ear.
he was pulling out his magic hair ,,,, magic mongkey??? forbidden kingdom??? journey to the west(chinese cinemas) on old novel book too of chinese mythology??
Monkey King’s weapon is a pillar supported between the sky and the sea. It can be changed in size freely. Monkey King hides it in his ears. This weapon weighs 54,000 kilograms.
I love Monkey, if his mates where used in special attacks that would be awesome and a cool throw back, but I think this is more based on the Monkey King. Fun fact- Goku was based on Monkey from Monkey Magic

I just liked him because he was so much fun and he was so OP. When I was a kid he use to scare me with how much he wanted to fight and be a michief, but when I grew up I realised how cool he was when I saw the episodes again. I'm only just understanding how important he is in Chinese mythology
@@grimjr2847 bạn nói đúng đấy đa phần từ phản ứng khi xem trailer của black myth wukong thì những người bên phương Tây họ chỉ coi và quen biết Son Goku từ bảy viên Ngọc rồng và Naruto thôi chứ đa phần số đông bên phương Tây họ không biết sự tồn tại của những nhân vật thần thoại như tề thiên đại thánh,tôn ngộ không(Sun Wukong) hay là Hanuman(thần khỉ của Ấn Độ từ thần thoại hindu(hồi giáo)).
The #1 game all over you tube. Now let's make this a #1 for 2023. I'm just waiting for the release date demo soon to come! I can see it now SOLD OUT ALL AROUND THE WORLD IF NOT PRE-ORDER. !?

Let me briefly introduce the world background in the book "Journey to the West". The world in the book is a world ruled by gods based on ancient Chinese religious myths. Gods live high in the sky, while ordinary people live on the ground. At the same time, there are many monsters living with humans. The gods in the sky have two camps, one is "Heavenly Court". Chinese called tian ting, tian means above the sky, and ting means palace. Tian ting refers to the palace where the kingdom of God lives. The English translation of tian ting into heaven is actually not very accurate. Heavenly Court is a place full of strict regulations. In Western mythology, heaven is a place of beauty, freedom and happiness. In Chinese mythology, Heavenly Court is a serious and solemn place with many rules and prohibitions. The organization of the Heavenly Court is similar to the human dynasty. There is a supreme king and various gods, such as the rain god responsible for rain, the fire god responsible for fire, the death god responsible for life and death, and so on. The other camp is the Buddhist gods living in the West. The Buddhist gods do not assume any specific duties. You can understand the two camps as two parties vying for the president, and Tian Ting（Heavenly Court） currently holds all the rights. The Buddhist gods are seeking more rights and beliefs. Despite the competition, there is currently no war between the two camps. It seems that the heavenly court, which has held power for too long, has become rigid, while Buddhism, which has been preparing for a long time, is more intelligent and flexible. The Monkey King’s westward journey is the beginning of Buddhism's preparations to fight for rights and beliefs. The above is the background view of the whole world.
2 And next is the overview of Journey to the West. Wukong was conceived by a strange stone. He was very smart and strong since he was born. He bet with the local monkeys that whoever can jump over the waterfall is the monkey king. So Wu Kong became the Monkey King. After few years, some monkeys died. The Monkey King also understood the concept of death. In order to escape death, the Monkey King heard that there are gods in the sky, and that gods never die. So the Monkey King left where he was born and successfully found a very powerful god to teach him how to gain the power of immortality. After the Monkey King learned his strength, he returned to the monkey group. But before long, the god of death thought that the monkey king had reached the end of his life. When the Monkey King was sleeping, Death took away the soul of the Monkey King and went to hell. This angered the Monkey King, he snatched the death list of the god of death and deleted his own name. This means that the Monkey King will never die. When the Monkey King returned to the group of monkeys from hell, he thought he needed powerful weapons and strong armor to face the revenge from the god of death. So the Monkey King robbed the sea king's palace. And got a set of perfect armor and a stick that will become the iconic weapon of the Monkey King in the future. The important thing to mention here is this stick, which was cast by the gods in ancient times to resist the great flood. This stick can be infinitely long and thicker. (I believe you have all noticed that the weapons of the Monkey King in the video are sometimes very long and sometimes very short. When the Monkey King is not fighting, he likes to make his weapons very small and hide them in his ears. Taking out the weapon from the ear is also the iconic action of the Monkey King) After robbing the god of death and the god of the sea, the gods of heaven decided to send an army to punish the monkey king. But due to the power of the Monkey King, the army was defeated. In order to avoid greater losses, the Heavenly Court decided to recruit the Monkey King to enter the Heavenly Court. But because of the stinginess and arrogance of the heavenly gods, the position they gave to the monkey king was to raise horses for the heavenly army. The proud Monkey King thought it was a humiliation. So the Monkey King started the second war with the Heavenly Court. In this war, the Heavenly Court exhausted all its strength and failed to fight the Monkey King. Instead, the constant fighting made the Monkey King stronger. So they decided to recruit the Monkey King again and give the Monkey King a higher position and greater rights. But soon the arrogance of the heavenly gods angered the Monkey King again. The heavenly gods decided to hold a grand banquet, but they did not invite the Monkey King. The Monkey King thought it was humiliation and disrespect for him again. So the Monkey King began his third war with the gods. But this time the Monkey King did not win. The Heavenly Court invited the Buddhist gods to fight against the Monkey King. The most powerful Shakyamuni in Buddhism defeated the Monkey King. In order to punish the monkey king, he turned his palm into a huge mountain range and pressed it on the monkey king's body to imprison the monkey king for five hundred years. The war between the monkey king and the gods is over.
3 But this war allowed Buddhism to see the weakness of the heavenly court. So Buddhism decided to plan an action to obtain greater benefits for Buddhism. This is the origin of Journey to the West. Shakyamuni sent one of his disciples to preach in the country of mankind. This disciple is called "Golden Cicada" in Buddhism, and his human name is Tang monk. Monk Tang was reincarnated and reborn as a human being, and soon began his mission. Monk Tang’s mission was very successful, and he gained a lot of faith in the human country. In order to gain more faith, the monk Tang promised to mankind that he would go to the Lingshan Mountain where Sakyamuni was. He asked for the books of truth from Shakyamuni and brought these books back to mankind. These Buddhist books will make mankind understand the "truth". (You can understand these Buddhist books as books that record the truth of the world) But Monk Tang was just an ordinary human at that time, he didn't have any power. He needed to move step by step from the human world to the most western Lingshan. The story of "Journey to the West" officially began. The original book does not describe the struggle for faith between Heavenly Court and Buddhism. Both sides are trying to acquire more human believers, but at the same time both sides have maintained peace and friendship. (At least the surface is maintained) To ensure the safety of Tang monks. The Tang monk released the Monkey King who had been imprisoned for five hundred years and asked the Monkey King to join Buddhism and protect the Tang monk from going to the West. The Monkey King was very grateful to the Tang monks who gave him freedom, so the Monkey King regarded Tang monks as mentors, and they began their journey to the west. At this time, Heavenly Court decided to do something to obstruct Journey to the West. In order not to cause war with the Buddhist gods, the heavenly court decided Send two spies to join the Journey to the West. On the surface, these two gods were meant to help Journey to the West, but in fact, during the entire journey to the West, the two people dispatched by Heavenly Court were almost helpless and caused a lot of trouble instead. At the end of the story, the Journey to the West was finally successful. The Tang monk got the book of truth and brought it back to the human world. And because Tang monks kept preaching to the Monkey King all the way, the Monkey King eventually joined Buddhism and became the fighting god of Buddhism.
4 This is almost an overview of the entire Journey to the West. In China, Journey to the West is considered a fairy tale about the heroic monkey king. (Mainly because Journey to the West was made into an anime. In fact, 99% of Chinese people have not read the original book of Journey to the West). All Chinese children feel that Journey to the West is a book similar to Snow White. The characters have gone through various difficulties, finally completed their mission and lived happily together. But in fact, the author of Journey to the West lived in China in the 16th century. At that time, the native Chinese religion was Taoism, and the god system of Taoism belief was "Heavenly Court". The main competitor of Taoism is Buddhism from India. The deity of Buddhism is Sakyamuni. Therefore, the book Journey to the West hides a lot of information about the struggle for belief between Buddhism and Taoism. This is why the game is called "Black Myth" What the game wants to express is that Journey to the West is definitely not a happy ending like Snow White. The powerful monkey king has the power to defeat the gods, why does the monkey king respect a Tang monk who has no power? Is it just because Tang monk released the Monkey King? In fact, in order to tame the monkey king, the Buddhist gods made a head ring to imprison the power of the monkey king. Monk Tang didn't have any power, but Monk Tang mastered the spell of the head ring. Whenever the Monkey King tried to escape or violated Tang monk’s orders,The monk Tang would use spells to tighten the monkey king's head ring, the monkey king would feel extreme pain and lose all his power. Therefore, behind the myth is endless darkness. Is the Monkey King really happy in the end? Did he really choose to join Buddhism by himself or he was forced? The image of the Monkey King represents the Chinese fantasy of freedom in the 16th century. They imagine that there is such a monkey that can break all the rules and do anything freely. But the reality is that the monkey did not get free in the end. The above are my own views on Journey to the West. I believe that not everyone agrees with me. Because I was pessimistic that the Monkey King did not get happiness in the end. I believe that the creators of the game have the same idea as mine, which is why they named the game "Black Myth" But there are still many people who believe that the Monkey King is ultimately happy and free. I believe that everyone has their own monkey king in their dreams. May the Monkey King be free forever, instead of being imprisoned in the head ring.
I love Monkey King/Sun Wukong, he is wonderful. And this gameplay-trailer look amazing! The graphics of game are beautiful. The transformations are awesome. Thank you for this video!
As an asian i'm grown up with Wukong bruh, bro this is more insane when i watch this masterpiece. The darkest side, the deeper one of this World just me go cazy broooo
Finally, I briefly introduce some of the information in the video. The big-headed old man in the video is the land god. In Chinese mythology, every area on the land has a land god. The responsibility of the land god is to help the heavens manage the human beings in every area, and is responsible for collecting and transmitting local information to Heavenly Court. The land god is not good at fighting, and the land god is the weakest god among all gods. The land god in the video calls the character controlled by the player "little monkey" and said that the player really looks like the original monkey king. This information shows the time point in the game, and the Journey to the West has ended.
Wukong win every god,monster,warriors. But he was unbeat just buddha's palm. And Seal up mountain. And wukong changed older man. Few hundred years time pass he still crying.
while some or if not many have not read the book of journey to the West many should realize how much we owe this one book alone being a direct influence on many anime protagonists today are all based off of like Goku and Luffy.
제가 가장 기대하는 무협 액션 오픈월드 RPG 게임 중 하나입니다. 다크소울3, 세키로, 블레이드앤소울, 젤다의전설 야생의숨결처럼 타격감도 훌륭하고 그래픽과 퀄리티도 매우 훌륭합니다. 다크소울, 진여신전생 시리즈처럼 분위기와 세계관도 매우 암울해서 기대됩니다.. 빨리 출시가 됬으면 좋겠습니다. ㅠㅠ One of the most anticipated martial arts action open world RPG games. It has a great action feel like Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Blade & Soul, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the graphics and quality are very good. Like Dark Souls and Shin Megami Tensei, the atmosphere and worldview are also very gloomy. We hope to be released soon.
I can wait this until 2024 or 2025 I'm not in a hurry to play it and when it comes out idont want to be disappointed by it so I will give them time to work on it and at least we can get 80 to 85 % of the actual game play to look like the trailer.
Hello. I am Vietnamese. The guys try to react "Journey to west version 1986" , i watched very much times when i was child. It very great , i sure everybody will like it😊
For people like these reactors I’m assuming know nothing about “Journey to the west” Classic Chinese story, it looks like a phenomenal game but if you have no knowledge prior I would suggest reading up on it and then play the game but most people won’t do that and it’s a little irritating people talking when they don’t know anything about that subject.
As a Chinese person, I would like to tell you that the background of this game is based on a book called "Journey to the West." It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China. The protagonist of the game is the most powerful character from that book. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend reading it.
@@areaofeffect100 Because He Plays An Important Role to Chinese mythology. He may be evil, But he at least had a purpose. Even if it meant he's evil. Everything And Everyone Has A Role. But overall, the Monkey King's previously destructive energies are turned to good in protecting his new master on his pilgrimage. He makes mistakes along the way. With firm but sympathetic guidance, however, he is good in the end - supremely so, to the point of achieving Buddhahood. Pls do research sometimes ok? Good.
Also for the one who made this comment, After the monk impresses the gods with his lecture on the Lotus Sutra, Monkey is given a golden monk's staff (among other items) as a magical weapon against the evils they will face on their journey to India. ... A weapon that predates the Compliant Rod from the Ming version is mentioned in passing early on in the tale. So yeah the staff didn't come from his fur, It was given to him.
