Black Myth: Wukong

[Faceless_Sentinel]

Would be interesting to see lore and plot, chinese mythology practically non existant in western media. At least we can be sure that it won't be woke.

>make a monkey the main character of your game
>get bad reviews for a "lack of diversity"



Is it because the monkey is white? Will there be mods to turn the white monkey into a black monkey? Or would this be racist?

Wasn't this made by the studio Sweet Baby Inc tried to blackmail or something? My memory is fuzzy on the details.

Yes, you remember correctly.

Do you know if they ended up caving? It's important so I can make an informed purchase decision.

Rusty posted that it was just an unsourced Chinese social media post. May have been stealth marketing.

In short, studio said "you can suck our chinise ****", for some reason SBI didn't happily enjoy it (I guess they enjoy only black ones), SBI decided to cancel them, but something went wrong and cancelation didn't happened.

Good enough. I'll wait for a good unedited playthroughs for the first few parts of the game and if it looks good I'll consider getting it.

Let's hope their controller support is good because I get really tired of some of the ******** control schemes some modern games have for some reason.

[Mondain]

There's no proof it happened though. I just checked and sites refer to the poster as a journalist because they don't know weibo is a platform like twitter.

Westerners ran with it for some reason. Stealth marketing after big anti-sweet baby fiasco?

Stories about sexism of BMW dev has been circulating for a while. Read the book "Journey to the West". One of the heroes is an actual pig who likes women and food. One episode has the party traveling to the land of women and one of the male characters getting pregnant.

This is chinese history. Women didnt mean much those days in China. Just a breeding ground and servants.

Also, "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West" was a good game loosely based on that story as well. Had a cute redhead

I tried to read about "Journey to the West", russian entry of wikipedia said interesting thing:

Фантастико-сатирический роман в 100 главах повествует о путешествии монаха Сюаньцзана по Шёлковому пути в Индию за буддийскими сутрами. Главным действующим лицом, однако, является не сам Сюаньцзан, играющий весьма пассивную роль, а его спутник — царь обезьян Сунь Укун. Среди других спутников Сюаньцзана — комический получеловек-полусвинья Чжу Бацзе, монах Ша Сэн и белый конь-дракон, который раньше был принцем.

A fantasy-satirical novel in 100 chapters tells the story of the journey of the monk Xuanzang along the Silk Road to India for Buddhist sutras. The protagonist, however, is not Xuanzang himself, who plays a very passive role, but his companion, the monkey king Sun Wukong. Xuanzang's other companions include the comical half-man half-pig Zhu Bajie, the monk Sha Sen, and a white dragon-horse who used to be a prince.

I hope they won't try to turn a comedy into a serious story with those type of characters.

They sure know how to hype it up

[GhostCow]

Over 1.2 million now. Impressive

[wndrbr]

I wonder if the Chinese players count towards this score. Aren't they supposed to be segregated in their own Chinese Steam?

Are they actually full-on pandering to them or only including 1-2 token ****** every now and then? This here could be indeed a bit different...

It's less pandering with diversity and more making the sort of low IQ slop that ****** enjoy.

If that still means less ******* and ******* in mainstream media then I wouldn't mind that much.

Well I know that China is - or at least pretends to be - a "communist" regime so I never believed that they were any "good guys", I simply believe they are a lesser evil in comparison to what is currently here in the west.

By having all the things we currently have here in the west but with no White people?

I do at least know that the Chinese really dislike blacks since Disney is always hiding their lame ****** protagonists on the posters they put there in one way or another. Understandable prejudice against nigs is something we could use more of here, I think.
