The third-person action adventure game “The Crown of Wu” is coming exclusively to the PS4 in 2020

Sony Interactive Entertainment Spain (SIE Spain) and Red Mountain, with the collaboration of Trazos School, are happy to show a new trailer and a batch of new screenshots for "The Crown of Wu", a third person action adventure filled with puzzles and developed under the PlayStation®Talents intiative. The Crown of Wu will be released later this year as a digital-only PS4™-exclusive.

This looks awful......it seems like it’s still in the beta phase or maybe even alpha.

[TGG_overlord]

And yet somehow it got +115 thumbs up Vs 5 thumbs down on Youtube...

[Rangerman1208]

Could be for other reasons, like having a Wukong-looking main character or the fact that it' a Spain developed game. Although considering the trailer is uploaded from Playstation Spain channel, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter. Don't know how playstation players from spain would look at this and be like "yeah this looks amazing" but who knows.

I agree that it doesn't look good. Especially when it's being released almost close to the PS5's launch.

[Joshua13]

Probably pitty thumbs up.

[ManInRed]

Yeah, that's pretty weird.

[bouzebbal]

No thanks.. Enslaved

[SoulTome66]

Well, it was uploaded by the Spain Playstation channel, and since this game is Spain-developed, that could be a reason why.

I'm still going to give this game a chance. Who knows, maybe it could be a (very) rough gem? Though my expectations are low.

[PrensGaia]

I'm hoping the trailer is just the alpha gameplay.

[Rude-ro]

Halo infinite would be alpha.. so this at least beta or ready to go on a Microsoft console 😂😂🤦

[phoenixwing]

there's a lot of stiff animations not connecting. I agree with steel

[Joshua13]

Yeah it doesn't look good. I get that this is from playstation talents, but even other titles from PSTalents look better than this. The fact that people liked trailer surprises me. Would love to know how would these people defend the game once it releases.

Also, the music used for the trailer sounds very out of place.

[jznrpg]

What other games are there from PS Talents? I’ve never seen any before that I know of , I’m curious

[Rangerman1208]

Here it is: https://www.playstationlife...

So far these are the ones thatwill be releasing this year. Out of the bunch, Clid the Snail was selected as the best. Some of the other games, like the beat em up one and the Walls of lie game, still need some polish.

[Joshua13]

Forgot the link. I have to try and find it. All I know is that there is are two games called Lethal Honor and Summer in Mara, both of which look very promising.

[PrensGaia]

The animations look very janky and slow. I'm interested on how this will turn out but I have my doubts.

[Giraiga13]

The environments are okay. Animations on the other hand, need a lot of polish.

[UnbreakableAlex]

Mario 64 moved more realistic than this stiff guy

[Rangerman1208]

Honestly, considering that this is a game with a monkey protag, even Monkey King: Hero is Back looks and plays better.

[Nacho_Z]

I'm not saying it's going to be a classic but the footage captured and the editing was awful and made it look worse, I think there were three times that it showed the player comboing thin air and two of those were when an enemy was right in front of them, wtf is that. Bizarre.

[Rangerman1208]

Exactly what I thought. I get that this is part of Sony's Playstation Talents, but man, it looks rough. What's worrisome is that the player barely managed to connect his attacks. Almost as if they didn't want to show how the feedback in this game would look like.

[TylerID]

You sure it's not coming to PS3?

[CrimsonWing69]

Wow, um... yea that’s gonna be a hard pass for me. Geezus it looks budget.

[SoulTome66]

Well that looked rough. I'm not the kind of guy who likes to judge games before they get released but this? All I can do is wish the best for the devs and hope that they can listen to criticism. I'm fine with the designs but the combat looked stiff, which is made worse when none of the attacks connected.

[jznrpg]

This is an indie game supported by PSTalents in Spain so yeah I wasn’t expecting much . The AI , animation and combat looks like it needs a good amount of work .The environments look nice but the game needs polish for sure .

[BeginsNightime]

The trailer music was very off ngl. Really didn't fit well to how the game looks and plays.

[bacrec1]

Sluggish animations

[Elda]

The character looks cheap & stiff.

[SirBruce]

There are hundreds of exclusive indie games for PS4 that go on sale and nobody cares. PlayStation Talents program in Spain is a source of those games and this is one of them.

[Rangerman1208]

I agree sadly. Holfrain, Dawn of Fear, Injection, Anyone's Diary, and a few others are examples of that. A shame really, cause there are some really good Spaind-developed games like Blasphemous and Aragami. There are a few upcoming PS Talents games that do have promise like Clid the Snail and Do Not Open, but I digress.

My issue with Playstation Talents is that it focuses on quantity-over-quality. Compare that to China Hero Project, a similar program that focuses on chinese games, 7 on each batch (though the first batch had three games cancelled), which includes games like Anno, Lost Soul Aside, Hardcore Mecha, Boundary, F.I.S.T., A.I. Limit and a few others that have gained decent attention, with very few exceptions like Walker and Animal Force.

[SirBruce]

Well... I'd Mention GRIS, also... and the list of titles is far bigger than I thought. Spanish developers have a big problem of global marketing as I see... Good for Devolver Digital, Team 17 and others that fish cheap and get big money with them.

[dragon_rocks]

This gave me vibes of an unpolished Sly Cooper game.
