Black Myth: Wukong has been rated for Xbox Series by ESRB

The game is insane looking on PC with path-tracing. The water caustics are just so good (as is the overall lighting).

PS5 version looked very bad in comparison. Terrible image quality, the usual FSR-smeared PS5 look.

Now I'm oddly interested in seeing how the Series S will handle this.

Oh man, I don't think it will be pretty on S. I saw the game on PS5 on a projector screen and thought it looked pretty decent for that. That screen must have been 80 inch or so and my TV is 65, that's going to help. Have things been fixed for PS5 by now?
 
When you stop to consider that Wukong plays at 1080p60 in performance mode on PS5 and isn't able to hit a stable 60...

Xbox Series S is either getting skipped or will run like a Switch game. Either way it'll be a bad look for Microsoft and too late.

That can't be right. Wasn't it 1080p up scaled to something higher than that? Perhaps I'm wrong.

I guess those monkeys are done cooking.

Shortest PS5 timed exclusive ever! :messenger_open_mouth:

Well, we'll have to see when this comes out. Is this rating an indication that it drops soon or are more factors into play I wonder?

Upscaled with FSR

I'd say it means a drop is relatively soon. Within the next 2-3 months. Obviously you'd want to get it out there before Christmas.

Yeah, true that.

But two things, I'm now seeing tweets that Xbox apparently was always in that rating, so it's nothing new? And second, the m rating changed to teen?
 
30 fps on Series S.
30fps with some serious cuts in fidelity if they want to keep it stable. Xbox series X will probably deliver similar performance to PS5. I am good with my almost maxed out PC version :messenger_sunglasses:

Might try it on my series x if ever goes to gamepass.

Don't worry; at this rate I'm sure Sony will surprise them next year with one of their own games. Nothing's off the table at this point.

Series S cpu is fully capable of running this game at a comparable framerate to the ps5.

Not well I would imagine
 
Not so exclusive anymore.
Wait, so it was planned after all? I can't keep up..... narratives keep changing...

In the real world, I get the celebrations for it finally coming to Xbox. What I don't get are these misplaced "gotchas". It was never a deliberate exclusive.

Not true. I have a very nice PC (but is due for upgrade when 5090 releases), that can play Wukong with higher fidelity, resolution and fps that PS5Pro will ever be able to deliver in this game.

But yet despite all that you're still willing to play it at lower fidelity on Xbox.

Exactly. If Xbox fans want nice things they simply have to purchase their Xbox and then a gaming PC. Xbox wins again.
