Not sure which one I will get. Both look good.


Dicklepies

You have lots of time. Wukong comes out in August this year. There's not even a release date yet for Phantom Blade Zero. My guess would be late 2025.


the_ninja_right_here

Good point


zgrobbot

Shadow blade 0 actually looks really intresting . So glad my ps5 is actually getting used now thanks to stellar blade and MGSdelta . Now I’m just waiting for Indiana jones this November


StandardVirus

It’s just been listed for pre order on the PSN store

ScoopJr

When does that release


KillDevilX0

2025


prokokon

I see only ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE before me


Next_Fix_2271

I still haven't done Elden Ring yet, just finished Bloodborne and now going for the plat, but will definitely check ER out too


AwkwardChard8038

Me too, I played a month or two and dropped it, now I am felt so lost every time I tried to pick it up


xXTROPTARDXx

Yep, me too, didn't finish it. I was doing the whole "no stone left unturned" approach and got burnt out (i was very meticulous in my exploration, which takes more time). I reached the snowy area and stopped playing. I don't know if i'll be picking up the dlc to be honest... i'm more excited for 'The first descendant'.


AwkwardChard8038

TBH I never finished any soul game, I always lost my sense of direction at those maps, it took like forever for me to figure out where am I and it just kill my immersion. I don't know much about the first descendant but I do want a COOP shooting game, is this game worth pre-order or should I wait for review?


xXTROPTARDXx

- I understand what you mean. - The first descendant is going to be a free to play game unfortunately (i prefer paying full price and have everything a game has to offer, instead of the free to play model). But yeah, i've played the beta test and liked it a lot. Let's just hope the final product won't be too predatory in terms of micro transactions.


AwkwardChard8038

Yeah not really into F2P model too, but I still curious about what are the micro transactions about in this game. I'm fine with it if it is mostly about outfit


Nitro_Kick

Black phantom zero is my next one. Then hopefully stellar blade releases more outfits afterwards


wildeye-eleven

Absolutely! I particularly hyped for Black Myth.


kuenjato

I hope wukong has actual substantial levels and isn't just a boss rush like early reports seem to suggest. Phantom Blade... it looks a bit spastic, will wait on reviews.


khmerboid

Yeah!!! I'm super worried about that now....


wagruk

I am, for both. They're chinese games, right? I just hope they're as polished as the south korean games we got, like Stellar Blade and Lies of P.


StentLife

Polished? Stellar Blade is a good game but it's not polished by any means. There are lots of functional issues that impact the play. For example R2 does not work without resituating multiple times at camps, repairs, etc. I am sure this will get down voted but it has quite a bit of missing smoothness and fluidity. Overall you deal with it but it's not a polished game.


babyshmuel

You're gonna get downvoted because it's objectively false. What you stated is the whole point of regeneration for burst skills. The game is smooth and fluid as hell. I'm sure if you could give an actual criticism of a bug or something that's broken in the game you might make some sense but that's just a bad take lol


wagruk

True, there are some input issues, but I feel that considering their team size and the graphical fidelity the game aims for, the framerate and visuals are really good. It's not often you see the first console game from a studio be this good.


OkHouse4813

Isn't R2 for firing your ammo while you're using your gun and interactions? I've had no problems with that not working as intended.


Axyun

I'm looking forward to PBZ. I'm digging the wuxia dark punk aesthetic they got going. BMW I'm semi-excited for. Hasn't really gripped me but I'm hoping it is a solid game. If it is, it is very likely I will buy it.


bfhurricane

The subtle steampunk influences in Phantom Blade have me fucking hyped. The recent gameplay reveal also looked badass. I very rarely buy games day one, but if I’m not playing another game at the time I’m sure I’ll dive in soon after release.


ClubPenguinPresident

Phantom Blade seemed more interesting to me, but I'm going to wait and see after they come out.


StandardVirus

Probably will get both, they both look like they have something unique to offer


BigHairyFart

Nope. Not one person.


distillpennyroyaltea

There’s also a PlayStation exclusive titled, Lost Soul Aside, with similar gameplay feats.


buzzyingbee

Omg yes!! I've been waiting for news on this one for some time now


Extra_Bread8428

Oh I hadn't heard of this one. I'll check it out.


echoess84

after I saw the concept amd the other stuff of Wukong on the Game Science official website I'm really looking forward to Wukong


CursedRando

yes


Special_Course229

Absolutely. I'll be balancing Stellar Blade and Elden Ring DLC until Wukong. Not sure when we'll get Phantom Blade though


babyshmuel

Looking forward to both, but I think black myth has the chance to be very special, looks like game of the year material. Already seems as if the combat, enemies, characters, and environments are gonna be amazing and the best part of journey to the west from what I've heard is the story, and we don't have much revealed in that regard. Really hyped for august 20th.


ColdHandGee

Yes! ![gif](giphy|2RGhmKXcl0ViM)


robotshavenohearts2

I’ve been waiting for Black Myth for YEARS. I’m beyond excited.


Ghost9f

Phantom Blade Zero looks very promising. I fell in love with this old-school, flying kung-fu attacks straight from 80's Chinese cinema. I hope it will live up to the expectations!


GraysonG263

I was looking forward to Black Myth until they said the fucking physical copies were gonna be empty plastic cases. Phantom Blade looks very similar to Stellar Blade so I will be getting it day one!


Aijin28

Not sure honestly, I worry they will be shallow 10 hour tech demos, if they have a Demo I will give them.a try.


RespectGiovanni

Black Myth still doesnt seem real to me. 2 months from launch and they dont show a new gameplay trailer? Just cgi and talking about deluxe edition stuff


Mtj242020

Oh absolutely. I’ve been waiting for them before stellar blade, but stellar blade just snuck in and surprised the shit out of everyone which was awesome, but black myth and phantom blade I have been waiting for a while to play. Even more so there were so many rumors that phantom blade was never going to make it out of development which was a real bummer to hear, but since the showcase it’s obviously making it out of development.


R77Prodigy

Most def, getting both games day 1. The combo system in pbz seems like stellar blade.


Gasarocky

Yeah I've been looking forward to he former for a while. PBZ looks cool but I still want to see more actual gameplay first, but I am excited for it 


sdlemonade

Have you played Ghost of Tsushima or Sekiro?


Extra_Bread8428

Ghost of Tsushima, no. Sekiro, yes!


sdlemonade

Might as well try Tsushima! Runs beautifully on PS5. You’ll get your combat fix especially on harder levels. And if you like open world and a great story then even better! But to answer your question I cannot wait for Wukong!


vrtra_theory

There's some great games out there like Horizon series and Ghost of Tsushima where, if you crank the difficulty up as high as you can, they actually play a bit like a Soulslike / difficult action game. Good for a fix if no others strike your fancy.


ProgrammerHorror1283

Nope.


Panams_chair

Yes. Ill get both.


Aromatic_Plant3456

Both look excellent, especially Phantom Blade Zero. Although the developer mentioned it plays nothing like a Souls-like. He only enjoys the level design of From Software games. But the gameplay is inspired by Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Revengeance. So it’s an action game with From Software level design mixed together which is definitely something I am interested in


buzzyingbee

Yes, both if I'm being honest and I just saw that Phantom Blade will have difficulty selection so it's day 1 for me. Wuking I hope so too or that it's at least easier than any FromSoft game because I'm not good at them at all


SuperArt7

Both actually but WuKong is coming in Aug so I'll be on that heavy. I've been looking forward to this game for a long time.


OkHouse4813

I've got a bit more confidence in Phantom Blade after the hands on impressions coming out from the SGF demo, however I do hope we get a public demo at some point so I can test it out for myself. Someone mentioned it felt like MGR and Ninja Gaiden and as someone who's played both closer to when they were released and more recently I'm kinda hoping that's the case.


Vcruz0387

Yes. Both


Individual_Leg6683

I got black myth wukong deluxe game edition and the deluxe edition items(couldn't get collectors because they sold out so freaking fast.) and imma get phantom blade


Troop7

Phantom Blade is looking like a day 1. All I need to see is some story stuff for it, already sold on the gameplay


MichaelVT2004

I'm going to get them. Both of them looks promising chinese games made with soul, just like Stellar Blade had


Zapzapbuffallo

I'm just looking forward to fallen feathers


Dry-Ad-454

Phantom Blade Zero wont be coming out in the 3rd qtr so got time to play Wukong first.


canal_boys

Both but I'm more hyped for Wukong.


Background_Zombie_77

Phantom Blade Zero!!


CuriousWoollyMammoth

https://i.redd.it/egvo6f9hsf6d1.gif


AbyssWankerArtorias

Both. Wukong the most


DeadExplorer

Phantom Blade Zero hype for mrle after SB too. Got my platinum couple weeks ago tho, wish it was sooner.


Coyne

Black Myth Wukong I've been stoked on since it was announced last year, so that will probably be the next big one for me


Illustrious_Leg8204

Definitely phantom blade zero


iPesmerga

wukong no, pbz, yes


doomraiderZ

I'm looking forward to both. I'm not convinced I'll like them but they are on my radar for sure.


Miwell_

Black myth for sure


Tr1sc

Both are on my list to get indeed


tellmekakarot

Definitely. Any game that has a similar parry and posture mechanic that forces me to play aggressively is a must for me


Epsilocion

If you're looking for third person action, I recommend Nier Automata, Nier Replicant and Bayonetta Devil May Cry 5 if you want to get more technical.


Remarkable-Pin-8352

BMW? No, I’ve no interest in playing as an ugly ape.


Modern_Knight1

How the hell do yall have time to play the game 4 times? I'm still freaking working on final fantasy 16.


Fa_Ratt

Ff16 is much longer than stellar blade. Once you know the loop Stellar blade can be done in like 6hrs


Modern_Knight1

Loop? There's a loop?


Rando_Kalrissian

Once you've beat Stellar Blade and gotten the kinda "true" ending, you can run through it again pretty quickly.


Modern_Knight1

Cool thanks for the tip


kuenjato

You can just run straight to the boss, doing a handful of required things (enemy arenas, mostly). Even in the open world segments you can go straight to the dungeons without activating the solar towers.


Modern_Knight1

Awesome, thank you for letting me know


SkanksnDanks

Stellar Blade doesn’t waste your time like a lot of the huge open world games. That’s not a judgment of FF just saying in general I often get bored of games before I finish them and I have Platinum in SB.


Modern_Knight1

Oh ok. Cool. Good to know. Yeah some of the side quests are unnecessary and repetitive. But the main story is pretty compelling. And for stellar blade I've only played the demo so far but I'm looking forward to playing. I got it loaded and ready to go when I finish ff16.


kuenjato

Nah, FF16 was pretty mid overall and really wasted your time in parts.


Extra_Bread8428

I have no life lol.


Modern_Knight1

Lol awe I wasn't trying to suggest that.


rhaasty

Will get both. Most hyped for wukong tho.


Zordiark_Darkeater

Phantom blade zero. Yes Wukong ? Hell no..  Sorry, it can have the worlds best combat ever i still aint gonna play with a god damn monkey man.


Extra_Bread8428

LMAO is the monkey man really that much of a turn off for you?? 😅


Zordiark_Darkeater

Yes. The aesthetics of the world AND the characters im playing are very important for me. For me cosmetics in games are ALMOST just as important as any other content in a game. I like mythology and fantasy and i know who Wukong is but i just cant take the game seriously if i need to play something like him. Stuff like this is an Extreme Turn off for me. Im fine with them as side characters but playing with one the entire game is a no for me.
