BLACK MYTH: WUKONG | Official Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay Trailer Reaction! 

In the original Journey to the West story WuKong obtained the "staff" from the treasure vault of The Dragon Emperor of the Eastern Seas. The magical staff is capable of size shifting and served as a structural pillar to the treasure room and is said to weigh 17500 lbs. After obtaining the staff, WuKong shrunk it down from its original giant pillar size to the size of a sawing needle so Wukong can tuck the shrunken staff behind his ear for ease of carriage.

You are reminded of DBZ coz Goku is based off this character, Sun Wukong!

Jaby's face at 0:54 is hilarious. I can hear the "that's what she said" without him actually saying it

8:55 water doesnt conduct electricity, the ions in it does. The same ions are immobile in ice so no, ice is a very poor conductor of electricity 🤓

Jabba, you get DBZ vibes because Goku was made in the image of this guy! The Monkey King!!! 🐒

for none native Chinese speaker, there are three meaning of that yellow robe guy said : 既见未来，为何不拜？these words could be translate to: why dont you kneel and worship since you are seeing future? 1、he is Maitreya Buddha who is the buddha of future, so Wukong is actually seeing future when he meet him, it is time to kneel. (there is also someone says yellow robe guy is fake Maitreya buddha, because Maitreya Buddha would never say such dark words to aganist Buddha) 2、these words are also message to players: your are seeing future game, it is time to kneel and worship. 3、拜 means kneel and worship in Chinese, it also sounds like "buy", it means you are seeing the game of future, it is time to buy!

That’s Sun Wukong’s signature staff, Ruyi Jingu Bang, it can grow on Wukong’s command.

1- he was running away the dude is already dead, that’s the auto attack before he falls 2- that’s not a shadow element, it was a after-image after a perfect dodge

I guess some of these creatures are inspired by 山海經 （Classic of Mountains and Seas)，kind of like an atlas and encyclopedia of mythic monsters and fairy in ancient China

Achara talks so much in middle of the video but she definitely catches up with whats going on in the story or in the video but Jaby always confused and asks childish questions 😂😂

Science fact: water does conduct electricity because the inpurity in it, so water contains "free ions", pure water is relatively bad conductor. Ice, on their other hand, contain much less free ions, cause it's form, so ice also a bad conductor. And how metal conduct electricity is another story: metal are rich of free electrons, unlike ions, electrons are way much smaller and way easy to move, so as both of ice and metal are solid, metal still a good conductor. By the way, I'm major in chemistry

Majority of the bosses are from the book. TV and movies only featured a handful cause in the book there's much more. The vid end boss is a demon disguised as Buddha who managed to trap WuKong in the story.

Regarding the part of the video that has no English subtitles: （copied） 吃斋念佛，诵经打坐 - Be vegetarian and recite Buddha, chant sutras and meditate 又有几个真的心如止水，清净无为 - How many of them (the gods in Chinese mythology) really settle their minds as still water, keep themselves pure and inactive? 你看看你 - Just look at yourself 这大风大雪的，还要这么拼命 - Still torture yourself in such a big blizzard 一定也是为了那个玩意儿 - Must be for that thing 你来之前，我算过一卦 - Before you came, I did divination in Gossip 你猜猜写的是啥？ - Guess what it shows? 动不如静，有才无命 - Quietness is better than movement, talent without destiny 既要送死，也不拦你 - If you seek to die, then I won't stop you 小西天土地，在此恭迎天命人 - Xiaoxitian Tudi, here to welcome the Tianming ren (Birdhead guy is actually the same kind of gods as the 13-minute demo version of the little Potato-head guy. The area of he is in charge of is Xiaoleiyin Temple. It comes from a place in the 56th chapter of the original Journey to the West. Most of the scenes in this preview are also based mainly here. But this Birdhead god's attitude is obviously indifferent to the other in comparison with the 13-minute version, and even advises the monkey to stay on track and not resist to gods. ) 既见未来，为何不拜 - Now you seen the future, why don't you bow down! (Generally speaking, this is related to another literary work about Journey to the West, ‘the biography of Wukong’，don’t know if there is an English version, but strongly recommended it) PS.the end title is “斗罢艰险又出发” which mean Overcome the difficulties and obstacles and set off again, which is a lyric from the theme song of the Chinese Journey to the West TV series.

8:47 Jaby:I got a quick science question. Achara: where are the gonads?? 😬😂😂😂😂😂

Goku is entirely based off of Sun Wukong and the Journey of the West Story

the ending line in chinese (斗罢艰险又出发) means: After fighting hard and dangerous and set off again (thx to google translate.. i can't do this shit...), which is actually a part of the lyrics of the original song of the famous tv drama 'journey to the west' in 1986, you can feel the nostalgia and special emotion bondings there for those chinese audiences born in 80s. and thanks for your reaction :) we all pray that it wont disappoint us when it officially released...

The man-face bird was like "You just got your ass whooped by a monkey. Clearly the next step in your journey is to go fight a dragon."

Sun's master Tang went on a pilgrimage to India to seek for the Buddhist scriptures. But during the long journey, he faced many difficult tribulations. So in the stories, Sun and his fellow disciple brothers, Pigsty and Sandy , together with the monsters and demons represent the inner mental afflictions Tang faced and he had to overcome them, one by one, until finally attained the goal.

I guess that shadow element is shown when you perform a perfect dodge and also you get a power orb thing in the right bottom screen HUB, maybe you can use that orb to perform special moves or something

GOTY OF THE YEAR 2024 😭✋🏻

The Monkey King has a long history and has had a bunch of shows/movies based on him i remember watching an old show of his back in the 90's, we even had one with Jet Li playing as him, i think the movie was called the Forbidden West or something?, i wont pretend to be all knowledgeable but i remember that he was sort of a trickster god but generally good guy, i just hope his nimbus cloud will be in the game. You also mentioned it reminds you of Dragonball, they for sure used Wukong as a reference for the Saiyans.

Love all these graphics and so many characters . Can't wait to play as Wukong

This game is stunning! I'm sooo excited to get this soon. The world and mythology looks incredible.

0:52 - 0:56 Achara : "I feel like I wanna touch it" Jabster's expression : "That's what she said" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

5:14, have you never played Sekiro? There's a Monkey Boss that farts and throws poop at you too.

Who knew this game gonna be game of the year 2024 😅

Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Following your channel since 2016. ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻

9:00 Ice is conductor of electricity but it is poor conductor

Most realistic animated Wukong I've seen till date.

I think the shadow signifies a perfect dodge. Gameplay mechanic

13:26 that Ending music of journey to the west 1986 :( its gives me goosebumps

Its a Celestial Dragon. They control the weather, as you see here.

to be extra sciencey. Pure water with no minerals in it will not conduct electricity. The only reason water conducts electricity is because most water is not pure.

It's not a mythology it's our history ❤

Jaby's face when Achara said I just wanna touch it...Jaby was like that's what she said

oh were here after 3 years! this game is GoT for me!

Jaby: I can honestly say I've never seen that in a serious game before Me: *Laughs in Sekiro*

he is not the money. he is WuKong, a legendary character that is very famous in many asia countries, like Vietnam.

The dude keeps saying it's weird and the devs must be drinking shrooms or some shit, i know it's a joke but still show his ignorance towards other culture/mythos/folklore specially asian tales of myth and legends. I'm by no means full familiar with chinese or journey to the west legends and mythology the only source or media i've ever known are from the old JTTW tv series. But i as an asian specifically southeast asian feel right at home seeing these crazy creatures and deity comes to live in video game settings. It's so refreshing and exciting.

Jaby:I have a quick question Achara:where are the gonads? Jaby: Pikachu face

I watched The Journey to the West (1996 Hong Kong version) as a kid, it was a blast every time I watched that series.

They thought it looked like shit after the gameplay trailer, so they delayed it, but it looked already good af then already.

The reason why you think of Goku is because Toriyama love Chinese mythology so that's why everything in Dragon Ball Z looks Chinese rather than Japanese. And why he based the characters and stuff off of Wukong Goku wouldn't even exist probably if it wasn't for Wukong. But yes this game needs Variety in the attacks because Sun Wukong can do so much, it would be an insult to the mythological character if they don't do it

5:14 : Never seen that before ? Congalala (from Monster Hunter): Hold my fart

son goku is inspired by wukong

Goku is based on wukong come on

既见未来，为何不BUY

Ice should also conduct electricity if it has other ionic impurities in it, because water itself does not conduct electricity but the ionic impurities in the water do the conduction so more salty the water harder the electrocution. Therefore as ice is not dense enough to hold back the ions the ions will be free to move and thus conduct electricity. I got 96.2 percent in class 10

The whole Jorney to the West is a long escort mission. Lets pray.

9:12 That's the Afterimage technique 👌

The game based straight from the 16th century book of "Journey to the west" aka Xī Yóu Jì 西遊記 during the Ming Dynasty. All creatures and entities also part of that, included the white dragon, lizard creature, the black bear, and the other strange creatures,. And the "Journey to the west" story are related deep with Buddhism. Of course you haven't see them, because the TV series version and Movie version has not even cover all contents from the book yet. Mostly using the easiest part from the book. P.S : Dragon Ball Z actually took inspiration from "Journey to the west" , the retractable staffs skills originally belongs to Sun Wukong's Journey to the West.

It’s in Unreal Engine 5 so this will be great

Son Goku, Sun Wukong, same thing

this game is like what it feels like to play the god of war back in 2005, all the epic stuff you have never seen in myhtological fictions, but now this time it is about wukong and the craziness in his mythology

You are right achara it is From chinese mythology...co incidentally it is very similar to our hindu mythology's monkey god known as lord Hanuman.

wukong is chinese myth lol

that shadow element you spoke is the after shadow of a person if he/she run soon fast, so here he is dodging so fast that the enemy can only hit his after shadow

I Just uploaded a full version with complete English subtitles: conversation, lyrics, annotations. In case anyone needs more info from it. Enjoy.

Is this a game or movie

Sun Wukong in the house! Baby!

The monologue in this trailer is spoken by the final boss in this chapter

Speaking about the creativity and inspiration, this game draws heavily from the 17th century classic Journey to the West, which make sense because that is where Sun Wukong manifested in a written work. So if you haven't read the novel like me, then you will be missing a lot of key details without people pointing it out to you...like that black bear is the final boss for Blackwind mountain region in the first trailer. Also how this Yellow-Eyebrow demon (pretending to be Maitreya, the Future Buddha), who voiced the entire narration of this trailer, was one of the few demons that beat/captured Wukong with his magic weapon (the Cymbal wedged into the mountain last scene). Also it would be not uncommon for Chinese team to draw inspirations like creature designs from Shanhaijing or folklores.

WuKong=悟空， 悟（Wu）≈understand，consciousness，enlightenment 空（Kong）≈ empty，change，real spirit ( heart) His name come from Buddhism, Buddhism believe everything is changing, moving, so normal people cant get real / basic world. We need to learn to understand the real / basic world wiht your real spirit ( heart) .

Aaaay the inspiration that made Dragon Ball

So I see that this is the continued progress of the Game Science tech demo (Chinese company) shown back in August 2020 here on RU-vid that took the gaming scene by surprise. I had no idea it was in development this whole time, which I guess one solid year has passed, so that's not surprising at all.

5:14 *Guardian Ape entered the chat*

At 10:32 when he says Buddha said this blah blah blah... 放屁... subtitles says "heed my words." That actually literally translates to "fart" and what he really means overall in that sentence is "In my opinion, whatever he's (Buddha) talking about, is shite." or the direct translation, "I say, all fart."

Water does conducts electricity but if only and only it's impure cuz of the impurities charge are transmitted but for normal water we drink I don't think it can really conduct electricity

And please, if you are interested, at least read something about " journey to the west" or " monkey king" or " Sun Wukung", I mean Wikipedia is free, you guys has watched the first part, so maybe do a little digging before comment on this one

I hope its like darksouls. Difficulty makes the game fun and rewarding.

5:20 There is a particularly annoying boss in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the Guardian Ape, who has a habit of flinging his scat and farting on you as a method of attack. Granted, he's large enough to tear the player limb from limb already.

THE GAME DROPPED YESTERDAY

In iran we call tv series , serial too. You are not alone Achara

Technically distilled pure water doesn't conduct electricity. It's the minerals and shit that make normal water conduct electricity

Free fire played are soo excited right now 🔥🔥

Those 3D models that you saw are real and there are actual locations in china where you can visit the place and see the statue, the temple, and the art. because the majority of them are 3D scan real life objects.

I really hope this is actual gameplay... after Cyberpunk.... I don't dare to get my hopes up anymore.

Muted after 10:00

you guys are great! the reaction is great!! the game is soooo~~ awesome! love you❤

I'm just wondering what if Conan O'Brien reviewed this game🤣🤣🤣

Happy Onam jaby and achara 🌺🌺

Music and Zelda have something in common because it is Chinese traditional music, and Japan learned a lot from China in ancient times

11:41 Jaby's Expressions*

Sick 💫👏🏽

So This Is Basically Dark Souls + Anime.k

Infamous 2 is not inFamous Second Son.

All the backgrounds and scenes, as well as narratives and related music, can be traced back to Chinese mythology and related records. These seem like real history. I am looking forward to these and hope that players from other countries can learn about the historical myths behind them if they are interested.

The "creatures" look like they are inspired by inhabitants of Diyu or Chinese hell.

The shadow thing is a dodge skill, as far as my understanding.

Jaby: fart Achara: poop Me: Fartpoop

isnt the shadow like a shadow clone? like in ninja anime like naruto they leave clones as a substitute to take the force instead for them? reminded me of that

about water vs ice cobductivity. pure water is not good cobductor of electricity. if u remember school days were use salt water n blades to see electricity. thats it salt sodium which is negative n water positive both ions exchange hence electricity conducts. which ice lacks. both needs to be dissolved. n sodium is a metal which has electron or negative ions naturally.

Y jaby u didnt react to ratsasan??

Ice doesn't conduct electricity

it looks like Ninja gaiden 3 abit.

Monkey is supposed to be great at fighting he defeated the entire heaven , so they got inspired from Bruce Lee's voice and assumed that monkey King would sound like him and and he reminds of you DBZ cause Goku is the exact imitation of monkey King from that time in journey to the west series , the Gokus staf , cloud and the giant ape transformation every thing is taken from journey to west story of monkey King .

looks good. just needs more bass in the sound effects is all

Jaby, did you play this game now?

can u react to UA LA my hero acedemia live action video made by some awesome ppl episode 0 which has all 4 episode

great reaction，😁
