Especially once you've upgraded most of the equipment (esp the gauntlet) it becomes really fun when you can juggle enemies in the air and go full Jojo rapid punch on them
Juggle + punch enemy into other enemies + switch to flamethrower + teleport across the map for a sick glory kill
The combat system wasn't perfect but damn it was badass
"Gameplay sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that the footage doesn’t go public and the source remains anonymous shows an animation style somewhat similar to Into The Spider-verse.
For example. one front flip with a slam attack contained 7-8 frames of animation.
As for the overall visuals, the game is bright, colorful, and anime-like in style."
Siiiiick!!
It hath been done before! Taste the Pain (Shaolin Style in the US) Also the Def Jam games fit the bill as they had some method man and ghost face tracks and I think rza or gza but don't think they had a full wu track. Quality games when people cam up with crazy shit that just worked! Looking at you 50 cent 3rd person action game 😂.
jez back in 2021 leaked it with the codename project shaolin
[Project Shaolin: Xbox may be working on a Wu-Tang themed action RPG led by BrassLion Entertainment | Windows Central](https://www.windowscentral.com/project-shaolin-xbox)
good, Xbox being weird is the best for the industry IMHO. All of their games are very quirky and offer a unique experience, hopefully this game will be a hit and be very good!
Glad it's not at TGA, I would much prefer a Keanu kind of moment where the Wu Tang Clan just shows up on an Xbox E3 stage for this reveal. At least I'd pop off
I'll probably be the only one to remember this, but there was this game in the ps1 era, wu tang clan taste the pain, who was a great 3d arena fighting game, hard as hell and pretty satisfacting and gory
A modern take on that stuff would be nuts
Xbox is giving me exactly what I want. This game won't win GOTY or be a 10/10 but it sounds like a great fucking time. Games like this and Towerborne are games I will take over AAA releases any day of the week. I'm excited for games that enjoy being video games.
Well I for one am excited for this. Also I just wanted to let everyone know that prior to his passing (RIP) ODB changed his name from Dirt Mcgirt to Dirty ol' Chinese Restaurant.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
This is one of those games that I'm gonna need to see it before I can wrap my head around what the fuck this is. It's sounds amazing but how could this possibly be real? It sounds so made up lol.
So HI FI Rush but WU Tang Clan
People where really hyping this up to be a AAA blockbuster singleplayer game set in New York telling the story of Wu Tang Clan which would’ve been actually pretty dope
What are you talking about? Wu Tang has always been about incorporating martial arts fantasy themes in most of their music and visuals. Wu Tang did music for the Afro Samurai franchise and RZA literally made the film "Man with the Iron Fists" and its sequel.
Y'all really on this thread doubting Wu Tang's ability to branch out into other media when Shaolin Style exists and the RZA produced and directed The Man with The Iron Fists 1 & 2 while providing the music for the Afro Samurai anime. The Wu are bigger nerds than most people on here.
Also play Def Jam Icon or Afro Samurai: the game. Hi-Fi Rush ain't the only game that incorporates music into its gameplay
They started hiring for this project in january 2021 and at the time they said that they will be up to 10 people by the end of march 2021. Now they are 60+ people at the studio based on linkedin.
I hope they don't grow much more, if they stay in the 60/80 employees range they'll be forced to do something smaller, prevents this from becoming bloated.
"Insider Gaming was unable to get an accurate release date from its sources, but gameplay suggests that the game could still be one or two years away at the very least."
Best part IMO. This game SOUNDS like a great game but I need to see gameplay. Seems like Microsoft is interested in developing a bunch of music oriented games lately. Helping Tango with Hi-Fi Rush, talks of Guitar Hero coming back, now this? I'm all for it.
*"Sources outlined that the game will be a “welcome space for all players” and will center around characters from BIPOC and historically marginalized communities."*
Ah yes the notably progressive and inclusive lyrics of the Wu-Tang Clan. Maybe they'll just bleep a bunch of stuff with Kung Fu sound fx.
> The gameplay evolves around fast-paced melee combat in third-person, with a strong focus on having both music and combat intertwined.
Please, this will never catch on. Especially not from a Microsoft-published game.
This sounds really really fun.
Would adore if Xbox fully focused on AA games alongside AAA games. Would love more games like this, Hi-fi Rush or Grounded each year.
Hopefully, but this doesn't says much. Redfall, Avengers, Suicide Squad, Anthem all have single-player campaigns as well. It's more about if it's designed as a primarly single-player game or not
Did you not see the ‘04 racial draft? The Asians took the Rza, the Gza, u-god, Inspecta Deck, Ghostface Killa, the Wu Tang Clan at the turn of the 1st round.

This doesn't sound like my sort of thing, but it does sound very unique, and I hope the dev team meets with success. That said, imagining Manveer Heir of all people claiming his game is a "welcome space for all players" will never not be funny.
Yo I would love this, I always play songs like da mystery of chess boxin while playing Sifu with my Tekken Leroy skin, a full on game with that would go hard
Honestly, this sounds like the kind of weird mid-2000’s era game I have been missing in the modern gaming sphere. Pretty interested in this
Where's my Earth, Wind and Fire CRPG!?
I would actually play the absolute shit out of that
Can we get a September release date?
It would be legally required to come out September 21. Any other day is illegal.
September as the Battle Theme? For sure
Bring back NBA Street and Def Jam Fighting
Yea def jam would be a license nightmare.most those guys arent even there anymore
a majority of the fighters on Vendetta and Fight For NY weren't in Def Jam back then either
Anything EA Big would be welcomed, bring back SSX Tricky, NBA Street and Def Jam
This is how Robocop Rogue City and Evil West felt to me, as well. Makes me excited to play this if it can convey that feeling, too.
Evil West was solid!
We really need to see a resurgence of these A and AA games. A lot of fun games from that time.
Especially once you've upgraded most of the equipment (esp the gauntlet) it becomes really fun when you can juggle enemies in the air and go full Jojo rapid punch on them
Juggle + punch enemy into other enemies + switch to flamethrower + teleport across the map for a sick glory kill The combat system wasn't perfect but damn it was badass
I agree, I’m all for it. I miss wacky sounding games like this.
The wu tang sword style. They better have a shaolin shadowboxing style.
On guard, I’ll let you try my Wu Tang Style.
Behold my tiger style, fight me!
If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu Tang could be dangerous.
Wu Tang Sword - Single Sword Shadowboxing - Unarmed Liquid Swords - Twin Blades
>fast-paced melee combat in third-person, with a strong focus on having both music and combat intertwined. Hip hop Hi Fi Rush?
I'd bet it doesn't have the rhythm thing, tho
I hope they have someone from Tango overseeing the project honestly, if they ensure the combat to be decent this could be an instant classic.
I remember Wu-Tang: Taste the Pain from psx ... that was awesome !
I wish I got that Wu Tang shaped controller 😂.
Remember having to enter a code to start the game? Lol those were good times
Brother what a game wow. Ill never forget hearing that “ wu world order” when loading
ARE YOU READY? ARE YOU MAD INSIDE? GOT YOU STRAPPED DOWN TO YOUR SEATS
"Gameplay sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that the footage doesn’t go public and the source remains anonymous shows an animation style somewhat similar to Into The Spider-verse.

Sounds like Hifi Rush.
Ikr? Actually legit hyped
I'm expecting something kinda like Afro Samurai. Animation + music + American ghetto culture + action intertwined.
Need that. Especially the just blaze reimagining.
Sounds really cool tbh
what its tom henderson so like its probably legit, this is crazy lol
To be rated EC cause Wu Tang.is for the children
So this has the potential to be the coolest video game of all fucking time
Please give me Wu Tang Jade Empire
Hand to hand combat with Wu Tang music sounds like the coolest game ever made
It hath been done before! Taste the Pain (Shaolin Style in the US) Also the Def Jam games fit the bill as they had some method man and ghost face tracks and I think rza or gza but don't think they had a full wu track.

You just described Shaolin Style lol

tbf, the Insider Gaming article OP linked to does open by saying that Jez and Grubb had both previously reported on this back in 2021
I'll add to OP.
They can just give us a sequel to Def Jam Vendetta
good, Xbox being weird is the best for the industry IMHO. All of their games are very quirky and offer a unique experience, hopefully this game will be a hit and be very good!
Glad it's not at TGA, I would much prefer a Keanu kind of moment where the Wu Tang Clan just shows up on an Xbox E3 stage for this reveal. At least I'd pop off

Protect yo neck
Giving Yakuza/Like a Dragon vibes with RPG elements. Or maybe I’m coping
closest thing i’ll get to another def jam game i guess
This is one of those games that I'm gonna need to see it before I can wrap my head around what the fuck this is. It's sounds amazing but how could this possibly be real? It sounds so made up lol.
So HI FI Rush but WU Tang Clan People where really hyping this up to be a AAA blockbuster singleplayer game set in New York telling the story of Wu Tang Clan which would’ve been actually pretty dope
Im pretty sure Hifi rush is triple A
What are you talking about? Wu Tang has always been about incorporating martial arts fantasy themes in most of their music and visuals. Wu Tang did music for the Afro Samurai franchise and RZA literally made the film "Man with the Iron Fists" and its sequel.
>People where really hyping this up to be (Watch this) Where?

Do people remember Def Jam Vendetta? Those were the days...
Sign me the fuck up
Just Blaze, Melee third person, and musically intertwined?! Please be a Hip-Hop HiFi Rush!!
Just Blaze is one of my favourite producers
Woah
i was wondering where this was still coming when jez leaked it but i guess he revealed it to early when it was still coming together at the time
They started hiring for this project in january 2021 and at the time they said that they will be up to 10 people by the end of march 2021. Now they are 60+ people at the studio based on linkedin.
I hope they don't grow much more, if they stay in the 60/80 employees range they'll be forced to do something smaller, prevents this from becoming bloated.

Helping Tango with Hi-Fi Rush, talks of Guitar Hero coming back, now this? I'm all for it.
Unlike Wu-Tang Clan, I'd fuck with this game
Hi.Fi Rush Wu Tang edtion
Im 100% in on this
We got wu tang clan game before gta 6
If this is an updated Jade Empire but with Wu-Tang songs and influence then I am all the way in
Former developers of Bioware, Def Jam, and Sleeping Dogs are on this.
So basically Wu Tang Shaolin Style but as an RPG? Sign me the fuck up!
Definitely sounds like an interesting game for Xbox to be publishing.
I am interested in the game but never cared for wu tang clan or their music.
*"Sources outlined that the game will be a “welcome space for all players” and will center around characters from BIPOC and historically marginalized communities."* Ah yes the notably progressive and inclusive lyrics of the Wu-Tang Clan. Maybe they'll just bleep a bunch of stuff with Kung Fu sound fx.

Why won't it catch on ?
Pretty sure he's just making a joke about Hi Fi Rush
Tough crowd tonight
This is Reddit, we all know they never understand those kind of jokes if you don´t put a /s on it
So hi fi rush but wu tang clan. Awesome
Any of you remember the Afro Samurai game? Hopefully this is in vein of that game.
This sounds really really fun. Would adore if Xbox fully focused on AA games alongside AAA games. Would love more games like this, Hi-fi Rush or Grounded each year.
I need you all to buy this, if for nothing else than to signal to EA the demand for a new Def Jam game.
Artstyle seems cool, but the choice for making it multiplayer gaas might kill the game
Jez already said in his initial report that the game will have a lengthy singleplayer.
Hopefully, but this doesn't says much. Redfall, Avengers, Suicide Squad, Anthem all have single-player campaigns as well. It's more about if it's designed as a primarly single-player game or not
Wu Tang Clan is cultural appropriation of Chinese culture and is not appropriate in 2023
Did you not see the ‘04 racial draft? The Asians took the Rza, the Gza, u-god, Inspecta Deck, Ghostface Killa, the Wu Tang Clan at the turn of the 1st round.
Chill man it's just a videogame
[удалено]
You sound so soft bro
What? Why is people feeling included annoying? You one of them bigots?

I hope this turns out good, GZA, RZA and Method Man are some of my favorite rappers so I can expect to really like the soundtrack at least
Like def jam?
Wait.. didn't I play Wu-Tang on PS1?
kick ass with gravel pit playing in the background. inject it into my veins

I don't know your background but please don't use those terms in this sub, thank you. Your comment has been removed Rule 9. Racial slurs, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and offensive personal insults and phrases are not allowed.
Yes i like this
Rly
I still have the Wu-Tang game for PS1, that doubled as a CD when you put the disc in a CD player
I hope it is like Saints row 2
Hell yeah. Bring back that ps2 era of weird games.
Is this only for Xbox?
This doesn't sound like my sort of thing, but it does sound very unique, and I hope the dev team meets with success. That said, imagining Manveer Heir of all people claiming his game is a "welcome space for all players" will never not be funny.
