being a chinese studio makes it difficult probably?

The only visibly negative thing I've noticed recently was a slight graphical downgrade on the latest trailer this month. Even back then, I was fully expecting it to eventually happen.

Sure there is risk with unknown studio but at same time we might get something special, every Studio has to start from somewhere.

Most games are vaporware/a turd in the end if they look too incredible. Besides this I've been keeping an eye out on Crimson Desert, DokeV, Lost Souls Aside, The Vanshee, Honor of Kings: World, and Project DT, all Korean or Chinese games that have a whiff of vaporware about them.
On the other hand, here are some pretty great looking Chinese action RPGs in recent years you can play on steam right now, so it's not all a ruse:
Sword and Fairy 7 (2021, also coming to PS4/5 soon, you can really crank the ray tracing up if you got an RTX):
Gujian 3 (2018, a bit old now, but a great game)
Faith of Danschant (2017)
The Wind Road (2020):
Xuan Yuan Jian VII (2020):
None of these are near the level of Wukong, but like it or not China is catching up fast.

This "game" has received hype only because of fancy graphics in the first place. Gameplay wise it's looking boring. Combat is slow, MC and enemies are overanimated. These games should be fast and responsive, if devs think that we need souls clone with rdr2 animations then they are out of their minds. Not even to say that souls formula itself became overused and very tired trope, especially if it's just blatant clone with zero new ideas.

Lol never understand why people get hype for them. Unproven devs who flash new graphics in your face. Git hype!
At least with Piranha Bytes or Spiders you can expect the game to actually come out even as B grade as they are.

I refuse to believe this won't be janky if it even exists.

The problem with these games is the terrible translations into other languages, unfortunately.

Every game is in trouble during development, until it releases. And even after release some are still in trouble.
everyones a critic these day, can we not wait for it to releases and play it for ourselves you may actually enjoy it. I doubt Sony would be putting out trailers if it wasn't going to be releasing, we just recently got a 29 minuet trailer and it looked good but thats just me.
To me it's kinda cross between a hack n slash / souls game, I'm not keen on souls games but this looks interesting.

What a shame. Was really looking forward to having my identity stolen playing Wukong.

Not to say “Everything is fine”(I have no clue) but this rumor is another fucking nothingburger.
“Complex and ambitious game has a troubled development“ is pretty much like saying “Hard work is fucking hard”.
Of course people are struggling to achieve something out of the ordinary. Otherwise it would be, you know… Ordinary?

They saved so many and still no games are coming. Best example, Rare.

Unpopular opinion here, the game trailer created much hype mainly because they announce a trailer (2020 August) for a game that was created for next gen hardware before next gen hardware is even available, most people are impress by the graphic and animation, which at the time seems incredible. But now after seen all the true next gen trailers (such as Matrix), it just doesn't look impressive anymore. Aside from the graphic, the gameplay portion is really nothing to write home about (at least from the trailer).
The only thing its going for was we rarely get a game based on Monkey King with high budget, but from what I heard the story the game was focus on are original instead of the Journey to the West storyline, which was kind of disappointing for me, I was actually hyped to see how a triple A video game adaptation of Journey to the West will look like

The best Journey to the West media I've seen is the BBC's titles (or whatever they are officially called) for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

Wasnt this obvious, a chinese developer making a triple A game, of course it was fake, not even the stuff they said was gameplay was legit, everything shown looks like a fake demo

There was a pseduo-interview or something of the Lost Soul Aside developer in May, talking about getting a PS5... don't think there's much help there though.

So the implication is that the team has been spending time in faking trailers so they look like gameplay but in reality they are CGI? That wouldn't make any sense.
At least from what I remember, the original trailer showed a pretty complete vertical slice. If it's possible that the gameplay bits were real then it's a matter of scaling development up. This could be difficult if they now have grown their teams greatly and are struggling to manage all that but doesn't have an implication of the core technical capabilities of the team.
The only thing that I think could be fake is that they are running that code on very powerful hardware and having a hard time getting it to run in console hardware and/or more common PC configurations.
GAF, I'm a bit disappointed at seeing some racist name calling here. Totally unnecessary, we can do better.

Why can't Sony step in and save them?

They stuck with Dragon's Dogma after probably not wanting to make a Souls clone.
A shame too, what little that was known of the plot seemed interesting.

Wouldn’t be surprised. My first feeling was theres something dodgy about this
You mean like Watch Dogs, or The Division?
Mind you - I actually played those initial showcases, and they were absolutely 'not' actual games back then (ironically, while online debates raged about visuals). But they 'were' playable.
Point is, early playables really aren't indicative of state of the project - the only way to know that is have a look on the inside.

"The game has allegedly only one release worthy area and everything else has no cutscenes or boss ready."
Further development time to finish the game should resolve this, surely? Isn't this just normal game development?
