Now, right now, joining me to discuss opening night live are my colleagues, Cad Paley, Jenny Griffin, and our esteemed guest, Paris Lilly. How y'all doing?

Doing great.

Amazing.

Okay. Now, let's just get right into the biggest reveal starting with the new gameplay trailer for Black, Myth, Wu Kong.

Like, first revealed back in 2020 by Chinese developer Game Science. What are our thoughts on this, Cad Paley?

I think that it is one of the most impressive looking games of the show.

I mean, obviously we have everybody and their mother trying to ape the success of Elden Ring and Dark Souls, but this looks like one of the most impressive action games on display.

And of course, Journey to the West is a iconic story, basically, on the level of a Lord of the Rings type story.

So seeing that in this sort of context is really cool. And let's be honest, we've had plenty of claymores and buster stores and stuff. Let's have a cool staff with monkey. It's awesome.

Yeah, I'm looking, I'm honestly looking forward to this one. When we, when we first saw this way back when in 2020, I know it just blew everyone away.

Parents, what were your thoughts when you first saw this and now seeing this, this new trailer?

I mean, the first time I saw it, it blew me away to see it here again at Gamescom. Yeah, I mean, this is going to be right up my alley.

I mean, to kind of echo what Kat is saying. Everyone's going to try and copy the king, right?

With Elden Ring. And I think this is doing it in a very unique way that really has peaked my interest.

Yeah, it's one thing to kind of set that standard, but I think and you can expound upon it.

And I think they're doing a great job. Jada, what are your thoughts?

You know me. I'm a big souls fan. You know, I love me some Sekiro. I love me some Elden Ring. I love me some dark souls.

This looks to have a lot of those great elements. It's very fast. It's fluid. It's being developed on Unreal Engine 5. So it's going to look gorgeous as we can already obviously see with this.

I really hope we get to dive into some of the monkey king kind of powers and like real trickery and stuff like that.

I really want to see those type of elements. The combat looks fantastic. I want to see what's beneath the surface though.

And that's the big thing for me. I need to see what's what's beyond the surface.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like we're definitely sold on this. We just need to kind of just peel back the orange pills or the layers of the orange pills.
