[IGN] Black Myth : Wukong first hands-on preview

Not sure if it's due to the player but the combat moves seem pretty static and the moveset seems very small. Same basic attack combo etc. Could just be what the player is comfortable with though
This is what I was afraid of and why I dont like stance based melee combat cause it usualy means each stance is limited to one main combo you spawn without any room for creative combo generation. Spawning the same combos constantly will put me to sleep.

It would be one thing if each stance had a plethora of moves but we both know that pretty much never happens. Id much rather have my creative expression back.

Damn, this looks amazing! Will probably build a new PC for it next year. The art direction is cool and the world is really unique with awesome monster/enemy designs. The enemies also telegraph attacks properly which is a must in action games and can otherwise ruin the combat experience. The combat has lots of options like basic attacks, special moves like staff extension, steel body, and also has various transformations which are essentially a completely different move-set altogether. I recall saying there will be a large number of these transformations, so I can imagine how much work that will be to design that many move-sets.

Their future video/s should showcase the game's structure. Like do a small story bit, go explore a little, and then some combat.
 
Has the graphics been downgraded or it it just that I need to watch that 4K video?
Hope my first impression was wrong.

Edit: Nah, guess it still looks fine. Can't wait to see the final version.

This video features detailed Engsub explaining the combat mechanics of the game, along with a high-quality 4K bossfight gameplay recorded by dev
 
So this demo was likely played and captured on high end nvidia hardware with dlss 3. I'm surprised how bad the upscaling is in this and thought it must have been capped using tsr/fsr, maybe framegen is why it looks so aweful in motion or the base res is sub 720p lol. Also where did the RT reflections go?

 
Where are all the people who called this Vaporware?
I will fully admit I was wrong once I can play the full game.

That way I can save people the trouble and no one has to go back and dig up my posts about it to claim that I've flip flopped like Represent. Represent.

I'm normally humble enough to not double down when I've seemingly made a fool of myself. It's only human to screw up 🤷‍♂️
