Interpretation of the Black Myth Wukong trailer

Saints never die, but thieves never stop

The "strange dream" mentioned in the narration at the beginning corresponds to the pursuit of scriptures. He mentioned later that "karma and fate will bring us together". The point is that it also emphasized the purpose of "you" - the unfinished work of the predecessors, the completion of merits and virtues. This is Tang Seng, who is persistent in the name of being praised by future generations, and ranks among the immortals. This is Wukong, jumping out of the three realms, trying to be quiet and at ease. This is Wukong, having nothing to worry about. It is good to have a full meal. This is the Eight Precepts.

It can be seen that our Journey to the West has ended, but the story has just begun, because the narrator directly mentioned "seeing through you" in a sudden change of tone. He was full of feelings and righteousness, and was devoted to worldly fame and fortune. The key point was that "you cannot control your fate" God, but he firmly believes that he is the one destined by fate!

It can be said that this sentence is the core of "Black Myth: Wukong".

The ape operation borrows a lot, but it can be seen that the character design is very demonic

It can be seen that the creator's structure is very exaggerated. The 2019 "Nezha: "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" popularized the concept of "I have no control over my fate" and it has become a hot topic among young people. However, "Black Myth: Wukong" denies this view, because my fate is up to me and no one can control it. This sentence falls on the sky. What this sentence denies is not the sky, but that I am the sky. But "Black Myth: Wukong" directly falls on me, denying the destiny and thinking that all destiny is a joke and made up by others. It is deliberately compiled to achieve one's own purpose. This is why the narrator mocks the "pathetic pilgrim" and says that if you can't let go of the idol in your heart, it will turn into a supreme karma on the road of spiritual practice, because what many people don't know is Buddhism was essentially anti-idol at first, a godless religion, but as it spread, Buddhism also accepted idols and became respected puppets in temples. This may also be a metaphor for the character in "Black Myth: Wukong" The sky full of gods and Buddhas is no longer what it was at the beginning.

Moreover, this sentence echoes what the World-Honored One said later, adding to the strong sense of ridicule!

Your destiny is just a lie

Then we switched to the actual game demonstration. Through various prompts at the end of the game, we know that "Wukong" has entered Xiao Xitian. For Xiao Xitian, it is mainly reflected in the fifty-sixth chapter of the original work. The main challenges we face this time The opponent is the Yellow Eyebrow King, also known as the False Buddha. The scene design here is very interesting. On one side is the solemn Vajra Bodhisattva, on the other side is the frozen Buddha seeker, and on the temple are sitting earth bodies, and those The people who created the miracle have long since frozen to death, which also reflects the hypocritical nature of Xiao Xitian.

There are only demons and demons in the West, not gods and Buddhas

The subsequent Old Ape and White Dragon are all purely technical demonstrations, but some new things can also be seen from the technical demonstrations. For example, the gameplay shown yesterday is to draw the ground as a prison for the ghost beast and tiger monster, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel that finally defeated the little white dragon. It can be seen that game science is trying its best to show us some new design ideas for the game. Of course, some people think that These two BOSS battles seem familiar. It feels like they have been encountered in "Sekiro" and "Monster Hunter". Regarding this aspect, I think there is no need to be harsh. After all, the game industry is like this. Miyazaki Hidetaka is the founder of the soul genre. , and he didn’t stop other developers from making Souls games, so players don’t need to be too sensitive in many cases.

It is worth mentioning that the Xiaoxitian land in the middle is a character that expresses the plot of the game. However, the overall state of this land is weirder than the land in the previous demonstration, and it is also biased towards Buddhism, but it gives people a sense of It has a strange and evil feeling, with a human face and a bird body, which is also in line with the nature of Xiao Xitian's pseudo-Buddha.

The dragon is really surprising

Afterwards, as it fell into darkness, the narration came back again, mentioning what the World Honored One said: "The suffering of all living beings is mostly caused by not observing the precepts and indulgence in lust." ", but the narrator's attitude is obviously "fart", which is also in line with what was mentioned before, "full of feelings and righteousness, devoted to worldly fame and fortune", this is like what the historical Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism said "preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires" , but the laws of nature are human desires!

Looking at history, the dynasties that followed Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism seemed to have strict etiquette, but in fact, male thieves and female prostitutes were just like what "A Dream of Red Mansions" said "except for two "No stone lion is clean." This is essentially the biggest problem with this kind of view. They ignore that human beings have given up their feelings, can they still be considered human beings?

My Buddha is compassionate

In the following text, "If you don't kill, hatred will be endless." "If you don't steal, the strong and weak will be different from me." "If you don't engage in sexual misconduct, all sentient beings will be sins." "If you don't lie, your dreams will be empty." "Impermanence", "Don't indulge in happiness, it's just a moment of youth", "If you don't indulge in sleep, there will be no relief from suffering", "If you don't indulge in lust, all activities will have no interest in life", this sounds a bit like "What's the Use of Heaven and Earth" in "The God of War"? It is full of Buddhist Zen and truth, but the most interesting thing is the series of BOSS demonstrations accompanying these words. I don’t think they were cut randomly. Although many monsters are hard to see due to the large-scale magical changes in the plot, but The knife-wielding black bear spirit who "does not steal", the monster covered with various organs that "does not commit sexual misconduct", the black bear spirit that appears in prototype form when "does not sleep", and the Buddha's head that falls on the ground when "does not indulge in lust" all embody these. content, so let me speculate, is this the official summary of the game process directly in these few sentences?

This is Journey to the West

The most interesting thing is what finally appeared this time BOSS - King Huangmei, what he said "Since you have seen the future, why not worship"? As we all know, Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha. Huangmei's words can be understood as it is pretending to be Maitreya, or it can be understood that it is Maitreya. And pay attention to this background - in a place like a rooftop pavilion, in addition to the main character Huang Mei, there are also various demons interspersed between them. In short, the content embodied in the game is far more complete than last year, but various metaphors are left behind There are also more. In the end, "Wukong" was imprisoned, which also showed that the game may have "soul-like elements". After all, he mentioned that "after entering such reincarnation, don't even think about nirvana_". With Dare to Ask Where is the Road? Sounds like, perhaps, after Journey to the West is over, Journey to the West has just begun!
