>We are sad to announce that Hollow Knight: Silksong has been canceled due to the scope exceeding our team's capabilities.

It's a real game? They weren't just fucking around?

>announcing it's cancelled
LET'S GOOOOO

>>718480147 (OP)
Don't care anymore
Maybe I'll buy it on sale after i replay hollow knight in a few years

Gaming is saved.

>>718480147 (OP)

>>718480147 (OP)
Please be a little more patient! Your support means the. World to us! The game is taking longer than we’d anticipated but stay tuned for our next update!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

HAPPENING

>>718480147 (OP)
I hope it turns out to be shit

place your bets that one of the devs trooned out and that they'll show him/her now and act like nothing happened
the ss discord has known for 4 years that one of them transitioned and that delayed things btw

This will only be good if it's just Ari and William sitting in front of a low quality camera again barely able to follow their own notes for what to say next.
If this is some Direct-tier slop, Silksong is going to be dogshit

Qrd of why zoomers are so obsessed with this game?

I don’t understand why people talked about silksong like it’s the game of the century
The original game was a pretty good metroidvania but that’s it I don’t see why it’s put to such standards
I wouldn’t be surprised if the developers took so long because they ended up overwhelmed by the pressure people put on the game, comparing it to much bigger games

Isreal?

The Duke Nukem Forever of indies will be here soon!

>>718480147 (OP)
Sure, sure, i totally believe it

>>718480147 (OP)
mediocre as hell game

>>718480147 (OP)
Why do zoomers act like Hollow Knight is the best thing ever made? It's a mediocre metroidvania, is this the FF7 effect in action again? (The first game of its genre a huge group of people played and therefore they're biased towards it)

>>718480147 (OP)
>48 hours
I thought we'll get news today..

>>718480147 (OP)
What took them so long though? Is it going to have 3 times the amount of content of HK?

>>718481703
They flat out said they won't shadow drop it because they have to send out surveys to backers for what platform they want games keys. Don't bother replying with "but they can x" Team Cherry said they're not doing it.

>>718480147 (OP)
has anyone else truly lost all hype for this game because of how long it's been in dev hell without a whisper of what the fuck is going on? I don't see how this game can possibly be anything but a disappointment unless they've truly spent this entire time working solely on the game and it ends up being some 80 hour metroidvania masterpiece that redefines the genre.

>>718481520
Take your reddit contrarianism back to your containment site, and take your faggy nihilism with you. There is no realistic reason to think Silksong is going to be a bad game unless you are genuinely retarded. There are no aspects of the game that seem to be lacking when comparing it to Hollow Knight. You aren't an interesting person just because you go against the tide.

>>718481719
>60k players

Thanks kind stranger! I mean skonger! LOL!

I witnessed the post pop up in real time on complete accident. It was surreal. I triple checked if it was the real account.

i don't remember anything about hollow knight even though i finished everything except the last boss rush thing

>>718481805
>80 hour metroidvania
funny, the length is what I'm worried about most. metroidvanias should be 20 hours tops to encourage replayability. I don't want the ER of metroidvanias, bloated to fuck

>>718481886
Same here. Good things always happen near my birthday, so you’re welcome.

STOP TROLLING US CHERRY

>>718480576
But deltarune already released?

Wasn't this game already out?

NON BELIEVERS ON SUICIDE WATCH

>>718480735
Yeah, because I've done too many steel soul/randomizer runs to keep playing Hollow Knight.

>>718480147 (OP)
Shadowdrop!!!

>>718481554
As long as they give a release date, this will absolutely rock every site people can possibly yell about it. Youtube videos will get technical difficulties, tweets will load slower, journalist sites will get effectively DDoS'd from the influx of normies trying to scrape every tiny bit of news.

The best part? It'll only be 40% Silksong fan's fault. Fags and retards looking to find any proof of the devs trooning out, inserting fagshit into silksong, or any reason at all to hate and spite the game and its fans will be so rampant that they will overpower all discussion, faking being fans to generate hate that they themsleves will respond to in order to propogate more bait for them to bite.

It will be a cultural phenomenon in the greatest sense, not seen since the great containment of the ponyfags.

>>718480271
>it's going back to being a DLC

>>718481795
they have automated the backer key claiming process, trust the plan

>add another pointless 48h of wait to minmax the hype
It's over, they have a god complex now, the game is going to be shit, probably a gacha

>>718481308
hollow knight is a 10/10 game but some /v/ contrarians like to pretend it isn't

>>718481845

Thread theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s

I have extreme hope in this game but also Team Cherry has only made one game, there's no guarantee that Silksong will be on the same level of quality as Hollow Knight. Nevertheless I'll still buy it and play it. If you thought Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 broke Steam, this will absolutely eviscerate it

>>718480147 (OP)
damn they finally decided to admit they cancelled it, huh?

So can I skip the Dorito Pope show now?

>>718480735
I don't want to play it anymore.

>>718480458
you don't know much about the Hollow Knight fanbase, do you?

>48 minute reveal for a racing game
Does it fucking have Item Bounce or not

>>718482314
This dogshit didn‘t break anything. Trannies are delusional

>>718482356
you should be skipping it anyway

>>718481554
I'm just going to assume the announcement is that they'll make the demo that's at Gamescom available on Steam, + a release date that will be availble much later than people expect

It's been.... 25 years....

>>718482408
Sorry I'm a retard who posted in the wrong thread

>Game I never even bothered to finish finally recieves it's long-awaited, oft-delayed expansion
*YAWN* H-hurray!

It's a perfectly fine 7/10.
Playing it expecting the second coming of christ like people keep promising will absolutely ruin some people's opinion of it.

>>718482314

nobody did lmao

>>718482550
Why are you even here, then?

Do Hollowfags even play other Metroidvanias?
All the people i know only care about Soulless Knight and wont play anything from the genre.

>>718482654
To make (You) mad

>>718480553
I'm so happy for they/them.

>>718482697
You'd be surprised how many they played in the wait for silksong

>>718481116
They had to port the entire thing to Godot after the Unity fiasco.

>>718482697
>Do Hollowfags even play other Metroidvanias?
They don‘t and even when they do try other games in the genre they complain about every aspect of the game that is different from hollow knight, just like soulsfags

>>718482773
From his wording it sounds like the game is actually finished

>>718482770
Why would announcing your faux-apathy here make anyone mad?

>>718480147 (OP)
I'm kind of bummed out. It's been so long and has had so many false rumors that I let myself get excited over that I'm having trouble getting excited over finally seeing news of the real thing.

>>718482801
You don't need 8 years for that.

Games that suffer from massive feature creep, remember this was originally promised as a small dlc for the original game, and goes years without any news usually don’t end up well. It usually means the team was unfocused and unsure what they were doing.

Do you really think they will feel fulfilled when everything takes 8 years and now they're a geezer?

There's countless people in the chat when it's still 48 hours away

Recommend me some well paced metroidvanias with interesting progression instead of double jump/wall jump/dash/charged attack/whatever generic shit. Animal Well is the only one I enjoyed recently

Will it have microtransactions? Will gems be cheap?

>>718482897
I don't know, Team Cherry are crazy. Reminder that they only released Hollow Knight because they were about to go bankrupt, and then they went on to release 4 free expansions because they didn't feel like they were done.
I don't know how good this game is going to be, but I'll bet my liver that it's going to be giant.

>>718480147 (OP)
Reminder that Team Cherry loves you.

In their entire career during or before Hollow Knight, Team Cherry always delivered. For an indie studio of just 2 normal guys, they have only ever appeared when necessary. They always keep a professional distance from people, never talking in the discord, never replying to or acknowledging anyone, there's not a single moment of them wasting their fans' time. You can argue that the schizophrenic attitude of their fans drove them to silence, but they're just giving fans the space they need to breathe and enjoy themselves. They only ever showed up at important events when they needed to, and after Silksong's announcement they made sure that every appearance they made counted.

Team Cherry has always appreciated the success they were given, and every time people complain about Silksong not being finished has only made them more determined to finish it and do it right. William manufactured the cake scenario because he knew the dedication and adoration fans had, slipping a teaser of the next Silksong news right under Nintendo's nose. Whatever he and Ari feel about Hollow Knight and Silksong, it's clear that they always respected and cared about everyone who talked about their games. It's not about money, it's not about keeping promises, or even passion. They stay quiet because they know that words alone didn't matter. They kept quiet for SIX YEARS all for this moment, and now they're ready to show their hand.

They love you, and they care how you feel.

How much are they gonna sell it for

>>718481617
the first game sold well but not super amazing, it's all astroturfed hype, it happens sometimes with indie games, usually the devs and friends of the devs etc are the ones posting and creating artificial hype online

>>718483510
Would people buy it for 99.99?

Hornet better be way more mobile than the Knight, or they need to put all the merchants closer to fast travel points. The biggest issue is the guy you sell your shit to. He's perfectly centered between two Stagway points. The game is supposed to have backtracking but we're talking like dozens of visits here.

But anyway, how many games can get away with being delayed so hard you don't even care if it comes out at all and still come out well-baked and well-liked?
Sometimes it feels like all the better games were rushed to a level while no delayed game ever gets "eventually good". The last one I remember that was well-received was Elden Ring and it was more like a complete radio silence thing rather than "it was due yesterday".

>>718483214
He was at least based for roasting Naughty Dog's TLOU 2 development and pissing of Druckmann.

>>718483756

Blasphemous 1 has nonstandard movement upgrades. 2 goes a bit more basic bitch

>>718483605
Shovel Knight guys are greedy fucks, I don't think that necessarily reflects on anyone else. That said I expect 30 if they're smart, but 20 if they're absolute lads. 30 might deter me from buying straight away. Might.

>>718483980
Elden ring came out 3 years after sekiro. I have no idea why people pretended that was too long

This can't be real.

>>718480147 (OP)
Didn't some youtuber show the devs fetish porn of Hornet? How much more "based" do you think Silksong will be as a result?

I'd pay $30, that's gotta be like 300 didgeridollars for them

Enter

Reminder that it's not even a new game. It's a glorified expansion. The hype is retarded.

>>718483980
>Sometimes it feels like all the better games were rushed to a level while no delayed game ever gets "eventually good".
Delayed games speak of an inability to replicate the success that prior games had. Whether this is due to a lack of talent or lack of interest can be discussed, but is ultimately irrelevant because it translates into the same thing; people turning something that is meant to be passion into a project, and whimsy into work. Lord of the Rings (all of them) was shot in a single year because the people making the series knew what they were doing and had passion for what they were making. Toy Story 2 was storyboarded, generated and produced less than a year after the release of Toy Story 1 because the team knew what they were doing, and had a passion for what they were making.

Anything that takes longer than 3 years to produce is not worth your time. It's either going to be somebody's weird obsession (Mad God, Thief and Cobbler), a soulless cash grab that chases trends which either no longer exist or are heavily saturated, or (worse) it's a heartbreaker designed to string people along on the hope of release with bi-annual teases and meaningless "updates" (most WEGs, Star Citizen, Silksong.)

I am so fucking sick of hearing about this game. The first game was nowhere near good enough to warrant this kind of obsession.

>mfw when silksong might unironically come out before metroidvanias ive been looking forward to this year that actually got a semi release date of confirmed for this year

will be hilarious knowing that most of those games wont actually come out this year, or theyll have come out far too late whence silksong consumes all the hype for literally any other indie

I'm assuming it's not coming out on Switch 1?

people bought it and then got something like 7 additional DLCs for free. it's a massive game of high quality for $15. still, it's personally only an 8/10 for me. but so are Control and any number of other games that I'd still kill to receive sequels.

>>718484770
No, they‘ll actually come out now because most of them were waiting to see when silksong would come out so they could avoid it. Honestly, team cherry are kinda pieces of shit for making it harder for other devs to plan their releases. I remember when the blasphemous 2 devs said that they kinda rushed the game out because they feared that they‘d have to compete with silksong otherwise and that was in 2023

It's ok, long development time means better game

Schrier is a total piece of shit for many reasons. He uses his influence and journo cabal to hype awful games like blue prince on the merits that the creator was a fellow tribesman. His information is always 100% accurate though. As much as he sucks, you cannot ignore him because of his legit info. For example Schrier nuts on the tabled no gta6 in 2025 back in December/January because he knew how far along in development rockstar was from his sources. Hate the guy, but listen when he speaks. Discard his opinions.

>>718484813
>that has been surpassed multiple times
by?

>>718485159
It's funny how people don't realize how impressive it is for an 8 year single player game to consistently hit numbers like that. Silksong is going to hit massive numbers on day one.

>>718484943
>Honestly, team cherry are kinda pieces of shit for making it harder for other devs to plan their releases.
Nah fuck off. They obviously have a reason for the game coming out this late. We arent single cell organisms. They have no obligations to capitulate to indies who 90% of people wont play anyway. Besides they actually used to do that on their kickstarter and none of those games got boosted because people just dont actually care. 90% of humans are bots. They just care about brand.
Besides E33 proved that even if a big game was released or shadow dropped in concurrence with yours. If your game seemingly has that appeal. It can thrive inspite of that. I just hate this weird mentality of assigning some sort of condemnation to something somebody has no real control for or obligation to.

>No, they‘ll actually come out now because most of them were waiting to see when silksong would come out so they could avoid it.

Nah, ive been keeping up with the kickstarters, some of these devs get obsessed with stupid shit like translating for a dozen languages before release, when Hollow Knight and other Indie games usually do this shit afterwards once theyve actually earned money because its an obvious retarded time waster that doesnt do anything for your game, since a select amount of languages mostly play games and most people will learn english through osmosis anyway.

The only one im wondering what theyll do is Grime 2. Because I remember them saying something about Silksongs release date.

>>718485529
it's going to be like another elden ring. on top of it's baseline meme popularity all of the streamers are going to jump in day 1 just like they did with elden ring which will boost it in the normie sphere even more.

>>718480147 (OP)
played one of its betas. it's shit.

Excited for the insufferable fanbase to stop shitting up unrelated discussion. Here’s hoping the start infighting once it releases, but they’ll probably eat it up like from sloppers

>>718485617
The only metroidvanias i‘m looking forward to are crowsworn which is still years out because the devs are even more retarded than team cherry and lucid which the dev also seems to have no intention of ever releasing. Grime looks cool but i‘m not supporting kike devs

>we have a big announcement
>(it's not a release date)
What's the fucking point then?

hornet sex

It would be REALLY funny if they shadowdropped it after the announcement.
No release date, just "fuck you, it's out".

The other thing in it's favour is it's actually playable on potatoes unlike other big releases, so even third worlders can get in on the hype and add to that number.

Prequel lmao is my guess. But if they actually acknowledge an ending, it'll probably be the main game true ending. Godhome is side content so it's ending probably wouldn't be picked as the "canon" one, and the other endings don't really leave a position that can lead into the clearly not radiance-corrupted area of silksong.

>>718480553

I have literally never seen a single person outside of /v/ talking about Hollow Knight, or even acknowledging its existence. Same goes for Dragon's Dogma.

>>718485964
It's well received because most people are fucking retarded. And I don't even mean that insultingly.
The things you and I figured out in an hour will take them several days to figure out.
And every time they're given a clue by rng, they will feel as if they're very clever for figuring out what the rng let them.
Most won't beat the game or even reach the part where rng will hold you back every step of the way.

And don't even get me started on the "twist" that the archives almost completely spell out for you if you have half a brain.

Yes, all of the time even.

it was just ok but because of this silksong meme people are treating this game like the 2nd coming of jesus when it was just mediocre

>>718483510
Probably the same as the first game at $15.

>>718487232
It’s going to be slightly better because they’ve had 7 years to improve on HK’s flaws (in theory)

How am I supposed to play the game without cooming to Hornet's voice all the time? The original was only playable because she only appeared a few times

HORNY FOR HORNET
HORNY FOR HORNET

>>718487382
Hollow Knight is a very good game which offers tons of content for a very modest price.
Silksong is the sequel to that game, thus people have very high expectations of it.

>>718483214
He knew all about the sexual harassment and shit in the industry and had tons of inside sources to back up a big reveal but he hid that info from the world for years. I wonder why? Who nose

>>718487232
Hard to be worse than HK when the only thing particularly notable for the gameplay is the large amount of boss fights. The graphics and soundtrack can be pretty copy pasted

>>718487408
It seems that way now because it’s been nearly a decade. In 2017? Greatest indie metroidvania bar none

>>718487279
How is HK a 10/10?

>>718487158
YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit take turns fellating this game, but you said 'people' so perhaps I got the wrong idea.

>>718487232
I don't earnestly believe it can be worse than HK since my greatest flaw with it (boring moveset that makes world traversal consistently tedious at best) seems to be already addressed by the different character.
I am prepared to be disappointingly proven wrong.

I simply don’t like the game as much as everyone else. But when I say “hard to be worse the HK”, I’m not calling it shit. I just don’t think there’s any uniquely inspired, fleeting design that they couldn’t easily replicate. Its appeal is the tone, style and amount of soulslop bosses. Shouldn’t be hard to iterate on

>>718487729
I think it's probably a falseflag at least I hope so because it makes this faggot sound like the worst of the fromtrannies

>>718487550
It does everything right and the few flaws it has are overshadowed by the fun I've experienced.

>>718486447
It's mostly weebs, anon. Remember how few genres the Japs are actually any good at:
>porn
>VNs
>gacha slop
>platformers
>action games
>fighting games

That's it. Everything else they were either shit at since Day 1 (RTS, turn based strategy, 4X, simulators, FPS etc.) or have long since gone to shit (puzzle games, survival horror).

So when a Western company comes along and produces something, with a handful of people, that completely shits on Japanese games from the same genre, the coping goes into overdrive.

Unironically it's because of how shallow it is that it's popular. Any braindead retard can pick it up, play for 5 hours without getting too upset, and then put it down forever thinking they loved it. It's stylish and sets a good tone so despite being a shallow experience that never gets any deeper no one really walks away unfulfilled because they were never going to play the game to completion anyway.

>>718488083
A mechanically good game like Dread is not a crowd pleaser like WOAH REVOLUTIONARY HAND-DRAWN SPRITES is. Yes those last 2 are also hand drawn but by that time there's 10 games like that so it ceases to be special.

>>718489139
Because it's a great game, it's as simple as that.

They have a MASSIVE problem with WRPGs, though. Once BG3 became a multinational hit, and people in Japan started playing it, you got review after review of people complaining that it's too open, has too many choices, content is too easy too miss, the mechanics are too complicated, and there is no obvious "golden" path. A lot of them outright admitted to playing with a walkthrough open.

>>718487536
Rabi-Ribi came out in 2016.

I've been waiting so long for this game, I don't even know what I'll do once it's out

why do gay faggot retards always do this, just be quiet and cautiously optimistic and when the game comes out play it and enjoy it. dumb faggots have to never shut the fuck up like its going to walk to your house and set you up financially for life if you play it.

I shouldn't be that surprised silksong fans overlap heavily with wan piss enjoyers, but it does explain a lot on how someone can so joyfully shovel dogshit down their gullets.

Its going to be so fucking funny if the delay reason was one of the lead devs troond out and they were infighting at the studio. That was a rumor I'd heard.

lmao
stupid ass nigger

Now that I think about it, the worst thing that could ever happen is if they announced Silksong as an early access game.

30-40. Its still a Metroidvania

This is going to be a great game, but its going to be funny when people who are only interested cause the "hype" find out its just another metroidvania. Unless they stumbled on either making the world fucking huge again, or some new mechanic to be unique, I am semi-worried about it being overly familiar.

>>718490641
But Gorb is right there near the beginning?

Now I just need news on anything kingdom hearts related and I can live in peace

Why is anything but the highest praise for this game branded as shitposting by its fans?

>>718491073
Reddit GOTY

>>718491073
Because it is?

>>718491073
There's no fans.

>>718480553
Why should i care that one of the devs trooned out? serious question

>>718490965
>I am semi-worried about it being overly familiar
kek, is that why they delayed it for 10y

>>718482368
post more

>>718490628
Considering their radio silence it could be anything. The rumor I heard, feature creep, covid, loss of staff...
It's even possible they switched to a different game engine after that whole Unity debacle

because it would indicate an extreme degree of mental dysfunction which would obviously impact the game’s development

>>718480735
Because the game looked more dynamic, and that i fucking fell in love with hollow knight since that intro screen. it's something you see every decade.

>>718491173
Was DLC, turned into full game. Based on HK's map I'd just assume they kept just adding shit in and couldn't cut fat and push out a product. That or it has many more bosses than even post-DLC HK does.

>>718480553
Id bet that's probably what happened LMFAO

>>718491230
Oh no, a dev is a mental mess. also water is wet. news at 11. i couldn't care less but you fags have trannies rent free in your heads.

>>718490050
every other anon probably thinks the game released with all those dlc's kek

>>718490269
Rent free. Trans rights are human rights

>>718480735
I've never played this game nor know anything about it but I will watch this just so I can say "Yeah, I was there for this game that kept getting memed on to death by everyone finally get revealed".

trannies actually fuck up games they develop. If a person can't even understand male and female as a concept what makes you think they understand gameplay systems. Clearly the mentality of the devs is "off" so the final product yes would be affected. He might miss something because his hormones fucked his brain up. Are you stupid? How is this a foreign concept to you?

>>718491549
The original DLC was just going to be Hornet running around the OG Hollow Knight world, possibly with new bosses and quest lines
Silksong is a whole new world designed for new movement and combat styles

>>718491840
I seriously hope you don't actually believe what you're writing

>>718491893
Silksong is not a thing.

>>718481061
>It's a mediocre metroidvania
Its simply better than most popular ones (see POPULAR not some obscure metroidvania that im sure is better) and its cheap and it came out before metroidvanias were completely over saturated.

>>718491840
Demonstrably true. Your detractors have no argument except to call you deranged.

>>718492594
Yikes! I think I'll be safer at reddit I can't handle this kind of bigotry.

>>718492594
I can counter it by saying you're wrong and should kill yourself
Conjecture is nothing, and beneath argumentation
For every tard who says "trannies can't code" there's another who says "trannies are especially good at coding because they're men (:" I could not care less about your fake opinions you toddler

It will be inevitably good. Not the best game ever made, because no such game exists. /V/ will hate it because it hates anything that is popular.
