Wukong is brilliant BUT we have PS5 concerns? I just don’t get it.

Like, I’m reading so many reviews addressing massive bugs and shortcomings while ending the review with 10/10, 9’s and 8’s and then I see a headline like this… which honestly makes no sense to me.

My math skills are off so can someone help it make sense to me? I’m not one to jump into something like, “did they get paid off?” But I ain’t gonna lie… until I get my hands on the PS5 version, something smells rotten in the state of Denmark.

Exactly, the reviewers 'want to believe' at any cost. Blinders on!

Fishy Fingers256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

Its because a Playstation review site (and everyone else) got provided with a PC review code. Thats not usual.

attilayavuzer256d ago

Which is apparently struggling to run with a 4090, so definitely leaving some questions about console performance.

TheNamelessOne256d ago

I'm assuming because they only seem to be providing PC review codes, and even very high end PC hardware is having trouble maxxing the game out. It's a Playstation site, and they're probably suspicious on how the Playstation release will perform.

Bugs can be patched. Yes, shame on developers for launching buggy titles but it doesn’t mean the game isn’t still great if you can look past its temporary state of performance.

As for the concerns over the PS5 performance I think it is self explanatory. Not sure what you don’t understand.

CrimsonWing69255d ago

What’s self explanatory about it? That they’re afraid to let it be reviewed because it’s bad?

GamingSinceForever255d ago

They are saying if the performance is suffering on a high end PC, they have concerns about the performance on PS5, or maybe that it would be a noticeable downgrade.

Peeps, buy it now but wait to play it until all the bugs are fixed (probably November) OR buy it on Black Friday with the updates and a nice discount. Don't support buggy/sloppy games at launch.

OMGitzThatGuy256d ago

Or dont buy now? Games only get cheaper after release, they don't get paid by playtime.

While people should definitely wait on reviews and footage of the PS5 version before they buy it...i wonder if Black myth PS5 runs as "well" as the console versions of Elden Ring and the DLC it will get more criticism and actual point deductions.

blackblades255d ago

Iff Sony worked with them on optimizing it for ps5 then that alone should say it'll be fine. Stella blade was fine other games were fine. If it wasnt fine then Sony would remove it from the store and refund people. I say people should shut up with doom and gloom fear crap. Wait for the ps5 version and stop with fear drama

repsahj255d ago

IGN China already released a raw footage of PS5 version. So no worries anymore... I think.

"it’s a story that I’m sure won’t go away any time soon"
It might if you'd let it

danno_omen31d ago

We don’t control who suddenly decides to bring it up in interviews lol

lukasmain31d ago

It's pure speculation on behalf of the author of this opinion piece and it hold no weight at all.

InUrFoxHole30d ago

@lukasmain
Im curious how you can make that comment when he specifically mentions Blackmyth? No weight at all? Either...
A. You can't read
B. You're letting blind loyalty take point
C. You just didn't read it
D. You're trolling

pwnmaster300031d ago

There really wasn’t no suggestion.
Just pure speculation as usual.

Lightning7730d ago

It's in the interview. He said it.

lukasmain30d ago

He never suggested a special exclusivity deal. Far from it. The author is just speculating.

Lightning7730d ago (Edited 30d ago )

@Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place. If he's going out and finding niche or "hidden gems" BMW should of released only on PS5 since its considered a hidden gem that could only be played on PS console just like the rest of the other games he mentioned. The game was announced awhile ago as a multiplat. The S of late has been holding its own with third party and 1st party games. It's also clear that the S did have issues for awhile also and maybe GS really can't optimize for the console. I'm just exploring every possibility.

Hmm, I dunno at the end of the day. The S has been performing well optimization wise lately. I dunno it's hard to tell anymore what's, what.

-Foxtrot31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

There is no way in high hell Sony would pay money for this, something so successful and not advertise it as an exclusive console game. There's just no way, they've done it for everything else, why would they not do it for this.

It's people who can't let a story go, there's no deal, they just probably supported a new Chinese studio with their China Hero Project and give them tools to help develop on their console. If Microsoft came along and offered them the same tools early on for their console I'm sure Sony wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Sony took a chance on a new studio early on and they benefitted from it, that's their reward.

….. for the world’s most boring game

And we would’ve getaway with it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids games.
Congrats to NT on their 11 nominations I wish them good luck 👍👍

thesoftware73055d ago

Beautiful game, love the series, and the character!

Well crafter and well done.

Toecutter0055d ago

Good. The game is unique, heartfelt, and beautiful. Yes, the mechanics are rather simplistic. But the teams dedication to storytelling is on full display. It's definitely not for everyone, but it won't disappoint those who appreciate video games that push the boundaries of the medium.

Alos8855d ago

More like pushes the boundary of how short a game can be while still charging fifty quid

InUrFoxHole55d ago

Love the game. Beautiful looking, game play was solid and it didn't over stay it's welcome.

PrinceOfAnger55d ago

Good game with the best graphics and animation I've seen this gen. They need to focus more on the gameplay though if there is HB3.
