When is Silksong coming... how much longer? Has it truly been 6+ years since the announcement?

>>712816314 (OP)
I think everyone will end up disappointed when it simply turns out to be more Hollow Knight.

>>712816314 (OP)
>6 Years
Its over
Even if it comes out - the wait has been too long. Its now confirmed shit just by "not worth the wait" alone, and the game itself might be shit regardless of that too.
Just fucking scrap it at this point. Theres nothing worth 6 years of wait in a fucking 2D metroidvania.

>>712816437
it's simply not realistic
remember, for a lot of people, this game is their first metroidvania, and they probably didn't even play another one in 6 years, they just swear by this game
it could be the worst game of the decade (not that it will, but still) and it'll still be lauded and sold in millions of copies

>>712816809
>and they probably didn't even play another one in 6 years
I doubt that given how many metroidvanias are out there. You'd be hard pressed NOT to have played another one unless you went out of year way not to.

>>712816437
I mean, I'm not sure what else people expect it to be? I think most people want it to be more Hollow Knight but with new abilities/movement.

>>712816585
Ah, the Duke Nukem effect lol even though that Nukem 360 fucking sucked entirely

>>712816809
I do believe it'll be praised regardless of how good it actually is due to hype. Unless for some reason it's actually horrible which I doubt.

>>712816920
I'm thinking more about the casual audience with their first metroidvania game. If you look at how other games sold, I'd say only the Ori series is the serious contender to HK. Even Metroid dread sold less than both HK and Ori.

Okay I know Dread is like 4 times more expensive than HK, but indie metroidvanias like Nine Sols or Blasphemous didn't nearly sell as much.

>>712816437
I hope to God it is just more hollow knight but bigger and better. Like a modern version of the classic first sequel.
If it's hollow knight with a 1.5-2x map size, more involved movement and combat, and better boss fights I'll be a happy camper.

>>712816314 (OP)
This is the only game I'm spiteful towards. Unironically I want it to never come out and if it does I want it to fail hard.

It will shadow drop during the next Nintendo Direct.

>>712817489
So... Like September?

>>712816314 (OP)
I did not care for Hollow Knight

I wish the game doesn't release until November, so that it'd directly compete against GTA 6 next year for GOTY.

>>712816314 (OP)
SILKSONG ISN'T REAL

>>712816314 (OP)
Let them cook

>>712816437
>it simply turns out to be more Hollow Knight.
so literally what everyone wants?

>>712818818
this

>>712816437
I wish...i will be disappointed when it releases and its Hollow Knight with farming,card battles, roguelite mode and endless other boring janky shit that only the most braindead person would basedjack over. It took them 6 years because they need to make this game a spectacle instead of just releasing more of the same which would be exactly what i and many others need

>>712816314 (OP)
Late August/Early September
Screencap this

>>712816314 (OP)
I won't be buying it out of spite. Imagine being so far up your own ass you can't be bothered to say if the game is even coming out for years even though millions of people (who made you a millionaire) are looking forward to it

>>712824003
Are gamers the most entitled consumerbase?

>>712825139
It has nothing to do with entitlement, it's about being a decent person. All they had to do was say 'oh yeah, we're still working on the game and it will come out' but they couldn't be bothered

>>712825139
>you supported my dreams and made it so me and family can live in luxury for the rest of our lives but I don't owe you shit, I got mine
if you really see nothing wrong with this you likely have some some of disorder

>>712816314 (OP)
It's dead, Jim. Silksong is Team Cherry's Half-Life 3.

>dude its gonna disappoint... its just gonna be too much more of the same... it cant live up to any hype
i swear any faggot saying this outright has no idea of what was shown from silksong

>>712824003
>just shutting up and making the game means you are entitled. it doesnt matter if you already spoiled 9/10 the game
>you NEED to make constant promises and pointless communication
>you cant just have random community managers and devs talk about the game you NEED a pointless verbose announcement about how youre making the game
kys, vidya would be better if everyone was like TC

>>712825938
They can't say that because they can't back it up. You know full well most people would get mad

>>712826552
Oh boy, I can't wait for one style to be superior to others

>>712816920
>>712817408
>Even Metroid dread sold less than both HK and Ori.
>but indie metroidvanias like Nine Sols or Blasphemous didn't nearly sell as much.
Have you considered the possibility these games dont have anywhere as much merit?
Its obvious HK will sell so much because after all this time, nothing actually competes with it. The only game with similar non-linear interconnected progression is Rain World, everything else is a cool world but railroaded. Nothing actually has bosses that ended up as loved, the game that goes closest to it simultaneously lives off by being "literally a blander sekiro" when it comes to its enemy design. The only setting/plot that was similary as great when it comes to metroid-likes is Blasphemous except the game was held back by literally everything else mediocre, until the sequel that simply made the combat better and worsened everything that made it special. Its not because of being a 'casual fanbase' or the 'first metroidvania for people'

Nothing competes with HK, its the fullest package for cheapest. If any game was even remotely on par with it then maybe the "people wont care about silksong because too many games came out since..." would be at all grounded on reality instead of autistic contrarianism

>>712826771
I said nothing about 'constant' and I don't care about or want that. I just think they should've posted about it once

>>712816314 (OP)
Goddamn there’s something subtly sexy about this pic

>>712826552
Personally, I say it's going to disappoint in a similar way to Cyberpunk 2077.
Namely that it can't live up to the hype no matter how good the game is because everyone's putting it on an impossible pedestal.
2077 was put that way because it was an amazing studio with an amazing IP. And the game is overall good after they fixed a mountain of bugs and issues. Well after release when nobody cared anymore.
Silksong is put that way because Hollow Knight, on top of being a very good Metroidvania, was a lot of people's first major one and cemented in them the idea of what a Metroidvania would be like, even though they've never played a Metroid or Castlevania game. Then the community folds in on itself repeatedly, becoming a thousand-fold hype katana that will literally cut the game in half no matter how good it is.

October

>subtly
Your brain is detecting patterns commonly seen in sexually-stimulating imagery like a hot woman and thus letting off similar signals.
There is nothing subtly about the well-defined curve of a pair of nice boobs, bare svelte yet plump hips and thighs which begin tapering into an implied narrow waist.

2 weeks actually

>>712816954
I used to have optimism like yours anon.
>>712816809
I am sorry in advance for all the pain it will cause you

>>712816920
Stardew valley is one of the best selling games ever and games are regularly referred to as stardew clones.

>>712816314 (OP)
Hollowkniggas are fucking retarded tourists.

why do they use nails and needles as weapons when humans dont exist. why dont they just make swords. a big nail would fucking suck as a weapon

>>712827593
they did like 5 times over 6 years

>>712827141
>Have you considered the possibility these games dont have anywhere as much merit?
That's heavily stupid to say. Why? Because TC did not release a single game in 6 years. I like good games, I like metroidvanias, so obviously I'm playing new games that ARE coming out.

>Nothing actually has bosses that ended up as loved, the game that goes closest to it simultaneously lives off by being "literally a blander sekiro" when it comes to its enemy design
That's not the same for everyone. For me, the bosses in HK were memorable for their designs and their soundtrack. The gameplay however is the worst part (still for me).
Nine sols was the complete package for me.

Does that mean I hate HK? no, I like the game. But, come on
>Nothing competes with HK, its the fullest package for cheapest
You sound like a cultist that can't find any default in your favorite game. It feels like you ONLY PLAY HK ALL DAYS ALL YEAR. WTF?

As a certified KHclown I hope Silksong does come out so we both can finally get true peace

>>712828336
why do you talk like someone who has glasses, buck teeth and would correct someone constantly.

>>712828837
>Because TC did not release a single game in 6 years.
What does that have to do with anything?
Point being, these games were nowhere as popular because they were simply not as good. So people dont care as much about them as the sequel that seems to be even better
>You sound like a cultist that can't find any default in your favorite game.
Im just seeing it on more objective terms: Im not talking about your preferences, im talking about the reason why its so popular in the first place and why all this talk of it "not living up to the hype" or "people not playing metroidvanias" is nonsensically retarded
Yeah i like Environmental Station Alpha and Ori as much as i like Hollow Knight, but thinking these have as much merit as HK, or that HK is simply more popular because of some retarded shit like 'casual babys' first metroidvania' would be completely moronic

>>712828787
Many enemies and characters use swords already

>>712829108
>'casual babys' first metroidvania' would be completely moronic
But can't you see my point? It is? Since people mostly discovered the genre with this game, but other GREAT games of the same genre never even nearly sold as much, that means that people just stayed on this game and never looked for more.
IT IS the casual baby first metroidvania.

>>712816314 (OP)
It's supposed to release late this year, so don't expect anything earlier than September/October. but at the same time, don't get your hopes up over it being confirmed to release this year, since they have confirmed that it was going to release in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. I'm not believing anything until they give an actual Calendar date.

>>712816437
Thats literally what it looks like, just the same gameplay with different enemies and maybe 2-3 different abilities
I liked hollow knight but I dont see why people are pissing their pants about Silksong it wont be anything groundbreaking
