Graphics should just complement gameplay, most unreal engine 5 games are just pretty looking garbage... Wukong is an exception

I got a notification of Dec 12th from my preorder yesterday. Winter is my hardcore gaming time because it is very cold and snows a lot where I live so it worked out great

Cacabunga173d ago

I kept FF REBIRTH for those long evenings and nights.. bought it day one specially for winter

I'm in South Wales, UK. It's generally dark around 4pm this time of year so it's great to be sat in your joggies with a nice cuppa tea and a good game to get your teeth into nice and early in the evenings. Get my dogs a good walk for an hour then away we go, escapism time.

I really like cold weather, it doesn't get particularly cold here much, just dull and rainy. Where abouts are you based Jznrpg?

Wow didn’t realise there had been no physical release of this. Strange, I had heard absolutely no backlash about this considering all the backlash on here that Alan Wake 2 received…

monkey602172d ago

You just missed it then. There was plenty of flak given over the expensive collectors edition only coming with a download code. Same with the standard edition cases just being codes in a case.

Same thing with Baldur's Gate 3 at launch. People were so busy binge playing the digital version of the game, they forgot they were supposed to be mad about the lack of a physical version.

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

danno_omen33d ago

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

lukasmain33d ago

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

InUrFoxHole32d 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

pwnmaster300033d ago

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

Lightning7732d ago

It's in the interview. He said it.

lukasmain32d ago

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

Lightning7732d ago (Edited 32d 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.

-Foxtrot33d ago (Edited 33d 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

1Victor57d ago

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 👍👍

thesoftware73057d ago

Beautiful game, love the series, and the character!

Well crafter and well done.

Toecutter0057d 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.

Alos8857d ago

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

InUrFoxHole57d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger57d 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.
