THE SILKSONG
THE SILKSONG IS REAL
https://youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c?si=_CgA-sMuqtjW-QHE

Should I buy HK now or wait until the DLC is out to enjoy it one go?

DO IT

it's not at gamescom, they're doing their own stream in a couple days
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGeJwsUP9c

should i finish hollow knight
i thought it was just okay
i'm only interested in silksong because i want to fuck a bug

You did beat the Pantheon of Hallownest by now right? Don't tell me you are not gonna be able to beat it before Silksong comes out
>>718494481

>>718494571
I did it
I will never do it again

I've been getting kinda amused with all the HK clones popping up. My worry is that Silksong reception will be lukewarm from all the other games ripping it off.

>>718494571
I beat it 3 years ago. Hoping there's some Easter egg in Silksong that confirms it as the canon ending to reward me personally at the expense of everyone else.

>>718494312 (OP)
Even gachas has better gameplay than this garbage

>>718494470
Hollow Knight and its 3 free DLC are a complete game you can sink a ton of hours into today. Silksong will probably be bigger so you are better off playing HK now.

CLOTHES OFF FOR HORNET

>>718494312 (OP)
>"welcomeing"

>>718494571
I beat it with all bindings and now I’m going to do it again before Silksong drops hopefully.

That said:
>fuck Oblobbles
>fuck The Collector
>fuck Markoth
>fuck GPZ
>AbsoRad is a given
Every other boss is generally fine to deal with, even if dream bosses in general are a pain in the ass.

>>718494312 (OP)
I know when it was announced they said it was a prequel but they’re not seriously gonna get 7 years pass without mention of the Vessel becoming the Void God and the Hollow Knight being freed, right?

>>718495459
The combo of Markoth into Zote into Failed Champion is unironically harder than AbsRad. I died more in that sequence of 3 bosses than I did to AbsRad when grinding P5.

>>718494920
Didn't expect a serious answer lol, thanks.

Why are One Piece fans into Hollow Knight?

>>718495637
Too true. Failed Champion isn’t even hard in a vacuum but after busting your ass through the first two it’s so easy to fuck up. Worst attempt ever for me was when I ended up with the glitch that spawns a Radiance needle in the middle of the arena that never goes away and absolutely WILL kill you if you touch it.

>>718495189

MMMMMMOOOODDDDDDDSSSSSS

>>718495743
because human beings usually enjoy more than one thing

>New Silksong footage
I honestly feel nothing after these 6 years. Team Cherry did too much damage by being silent this whole time.
They must hate Geoff though, having a premier video 2 days after his stream where they could have just dropped the date there. He must hate them too, considering that joke at SGF.

This is what you fags have been waiting for?
It's the most simplistic indieslop visually and the gameplay is just reacting to enemies by jumping over them, have you niggers played a single game before hollow knight?

>>718495189
NGGGHHHHHHHH

>>718494312 (OP)
oh wow its literally the exact same mediocre as fuck game

>>718497873
this that shit already got mogged by the new prince of persia game silkslop look soooooooooooooooooo mid

>>718497437
Same. I just don't care anymore. I can always just replay HK at this point.

>>718494312 (OP)
this shit is probably going to have nintendo carts so it WILL leak the second it starts getting shipped to stores in usual "anticipated nintendo release" fashion.

>>718494312 (OP)
If they are not releasing it on the spot then they should just take that shit down right now. THERE IS NO NEED TO HYPE THIS UP. ITS BEEN DONE FOR WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH TIME.JUST RELEASE IT ON THE SPOT AND STOP FUCKING WITH PEOPLE.

>>718497437
Shut the fuck you you absolute zoom zoom.
Imagine... IMAGINE a world in which devs just shut the fuck up and make game.
Kill yourself social media generation buffoon.

I hope it isn't a NOW drop. I need time to prepare. I still need to get the two steel soul acheivements on Steam. (I got them on Switch)

>>718494562
you can fap to hronet porn without playing the game, silly anon

>>718494571
Actually yes, recently too.

>>718495637
>>718496145
You do know about the infinite soul exploit on Failed Champion, right?

>>718507892
Yeah man it's really fun when a console maker goes "Yeah this game is coming out within this year" and then the game misses the date without the devs saying anything, for years. Fucking retard.

>>718494312 (OP)
There are anons that see this who will die before seeing the announcement and even more who will die before the release. Grim

>>718494571
haha, yeah...

I too am hyped for another noncommital release date before several more years of silence.

The fact they Geoff specifically said it’s releasing ‘this year’ is evidence that we’re not getting the game until late October or something. Not sure how this is supposed to be hype.

Doomsisters...

>>718509151
Yes but that doesn’t help much when you’re too jittery to even stagger him, or in that one case, there’s a long floating hitbox in the middle of the screen constantly.

Of the few Metroidvania’s I have played, I’ve only enjoyed Super Metroid and AM2R. Hollow Knight has really basic gameplay, boxy map design, and bad art direction in comparison to those two. Why do you like it? Do you think it’s overrated or really one of the best games (or ant least best Metroidvania) ever made?

What in the development hell were they experiencing after 6 fucking years?

I like the non linearity, once you get to the city of tears it always felt like there were several locations to explore at once

Microshartsoft offered them big bucks to make it a pc and xbox excluisve, so that's why it took them longer

>>718512849
They did say this year so for all we know it's going to be December 31st

>>718513227
Didn't they say the switch 2 version had a playable demo at the event?

>>718504813

it is a timed exclusive.
https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/hollow-knight-silksong/9n116v0599hb

>>718512831
Scope bloat. They don't have a higher-up to tell them "fuck off with this useless shit and get the game out already," so they spent six years adding a fuckton of things that don't matter.

>>718514053
It does.

>>718512019
They said it would be before the Rog Ally releases, so it'll be end of September.

>>718494562
I finished it and just felt meh. The game runs out of steam once you explore most of it.

>>718513843
Pre-orders will open December 31st.

Will there be shazamfaggotry, perhaps even tortanicfaggotry?

Well, time to beat my meat to a videogame bug I guess

Why didn't they just show the trailer today? It's like, even when the game is about to release they can't help but edge their fanbase.

>>718494312 (OP)
why are broccoli heads obsessed over this shitty side-scroller?

>>718518473
No, they said it would be playable on the rog ally which it is through the demo

SHAW

Hello friends, it's me, the last person on earth who 1) Likes Hollow Knight 2) Looks forward to Silksong 3) Intentionally knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Silksong (except that it stars Hornet). I've skip any mention of it in mossbag's videos. I think there's a demo or something, haven't watch any of that.
I have yet to decided if I will watch the trailer.
But, also, a reminder that my delayed gratification makes me better than every single one of you. I will now leave this thread, having read or seen nothing, and will never return.

>>718519197
They did show a trailer that showed the game being garbage parryslop

>>718519608
parrying and dodging are literally the exact same mechanic, press a button before you're attacked, they just have different visual feedback

>>718494312 (OP)
I'm excited, I like Hollow Knight, I thought it was a tiny bit too slow in spite of that. This is going to be great, for me. I find it funny that Silksong barely even needs advertisement, word of mouth alone is all that's necessary.

>>718494562
The exploration is the best part for sure, but it's worth completing, the combat is alright. I wouldn't bother with the masochistic extra content.
>i'm only interested in silksong because i want to fuck a bug
Understandable, have a good day.

>>718519838
Only if it's i-frame slop

>>718520569
every single action game made in the past 5-10 years is i-frame slop

>>718519838
Dodging is positioning. Even successfully dodging can leave you in a bad spot and there are multiple ways to dodge. Parrying is a strict fail/succeed tied to one button.

>>718520279
OH MY SCIENCE

LINEAR JUMPING ON BLOCKS WITH MOBILE TIER MOVEMENT EXPLIORATION!>!?!?!?

SAY NO MORE POGCHAMPS

>>718519838
>parrying and dodging are literally the exact same mechanic
Very moronic to say this about hollow knight of all games. The regular dash has no i-frames and the i-frames of the upgraded dash has them on a cooldown which incentivizes more strategic gameplay rather than just pressing the “i take no damage“ button whenever you‘re about to get hit. A parry ruins that gameplay. Silksong will not be nearly as good as the original, i can already tell

>>718519608
is the clash at 0:33 the parry you mention?

>>718522301
Yes. It might be that it was a regular swing which did also parry in hollow knight but in that game there were very few enemies that attacked with swords unlike silksong

>>718512627
Definitely overrated

>>718512627
It's a shitty game overblown by grifters and content creators. zoomers are braindead so they eat the slop

>>718522554
it looks the same as in hollow knight where you could parry swing (non projectiles, non contact) attacks

>>718521485
Hollow knight already had parries.

I finally started the game since a Silksong release date seems imminent.

Yes, I'm a poser.

-> >>718504813

>>718531448
I only got on the bandwagon BECAUSE of the Silksong saga. It was such a constant buzz that I couldn't help but start to follow it. I hadn't paid Hollow Knight any mind before I knew about Silksong's infamy.

>>718532624
If the anouncement is not a release date I'm 100% they'll start getting suicide bomb attempts

>>718532468
As an addendum; seeing as Metroid replaced Zelda as my favorite Nintendo franchise in recent times being able to explore other Metroidvania games is something I should have done before now.

>>718532207
It won't be, they'll have a physical version and everything.

>>718532723
It would be straight trolling to do that with a preemptive announcement.

>>718519019
You know what? I hope the big announcement they have set for Thursday leaks in advance. I hope the game under performs because so many people were more into the memes than the game itself, or just lost interest because it took too long. I want Team Cherry to feel the pain I felt every single Direct, Xbox Showcase, State of Play, Game Awards, and Summer Games Fes that it never showed up in.

>>718494312 (OP)
Hollow Knight caused irrepairable damage to the genre and now they're going to do it again and we'll be getting even more HK copycats with HK dogshit gameplay. I'm seldom mad for gaming news but the fact that Silksong is coming is making me seethe. Metroidvanias are about to be eternally fucked.

>>718494571
I usually don't like boss rush stuff but I enjoyed the pantheon content a lot more than I was expecting. Hoping silksong has some equivalent.

Just finished it. What now?

You'd have a point if they didn't constantly push back and ghost. Nobody is asking for a fucking daily dev diary, they just wanted something like

Fucking reminds me of Omori

>>718494312 (OP)
Why wait 2 days to make an announcement?

>>718541083
It's the same way they did the original Silksong reveal.

It all comes full circle. Cinema.

>>718541083
Gives people time to emotionally prepare themselves? It's working on me.

>>718541083
Because the announcement is going to end with AVAILABLE NOW.

In 47 days, we will receive news after 8 years that only 3 more years remain until something is announced.

>>718527245
given how quiet the audience was when it was shown I think 100k will be a very generous prediction

>>718557631
In 47 days we will receive news that Silksong will feature Hornet as a playable character because we don't know shit about the game or if they're even making it.

if your last boss was the hollow knight you didn't beat the game

>>718545106
it'll actually be friday in australia

>>718494571
I will try but frankly I did all radiant hog thats good enough for me. I cant do as well on switch since you cant turn off screenshake.

>>718557718
Thats because Geoff "revealed" it in the most terrible way possible lmao

>>718559479
It really was weird wasn't it. Revealing something that basically anyone who cared about already knew because of Team Cherry's tweet. And then he's standing around awkwardly while waiting for the 10 seconds of footage to finish.
I honestly think Team Cherry hates Geoff and was screwing with him by announcing it as a separate stream like that.

>>718559862
I genuinely think Team Cherry just sent him small footage of their own trailer to throw him a bone and say he at least got Silksong for one of his shows.

Like look at the buzz Team Cherry's own tweet produced lmao.

>>718559862
>Sawrry cunt, time zones ya see

>>718495637
>Failed Champion
But he is easy to consistently no-hit.

On the other hand I think Markoth and GPZ are two of the hardest bosses besides absRad. Actually I'm pretty sure it's easier to no-hit PV and NKG than to beat Markoth with no floor.

>>718494562
No you fucking retard. Why do dumbfucks like you force yourselves to play things you don't enjoy and then whine that you don't enjoy them? Go play something you actually enjoy.

>>718494571
I did it, by the time I was done it was extremely cathartic to watch the entirety of Hallownest get devoured by the Abyss.

>>718495459
>>718495637
>>718563276
Outside of Markoth, the boss that unironically pissed me off the most was the Great Moss Charger. Because of how boring to fight it is, and how fucking long the intro and death animations are.

>>718534304
so thats where that image is from

>>718494562
I don't get the logic of you retards who play things to jerk off.
Can't you just play games you enjoy and jerk off to porn instead?

>>718564470
Why do you jack off to doujins in english rather than just looking at the pictures? Context is just as much a part of pornography as the literal sex.

>>718564470
What this guy said.>>718564928
Context made jerking off to Madoka Magica so much better because I gained an emotional connection to the characters.

I tried Pantheon of Hallownest once, got to Traitor Lord, deemed it was within my reach but it's also gonna take hours of my life and I just wasn't in the mood for it that time
Is it time to return and rectify this before release?

What are you most excited for in Silksong bros?

>music
>boss fights
>exploration
>platforming
>story/lore
>art/environments
Choose one.

>>718566298
likely you'll die two or three times before getting to the last boss
once you get there, you'll 100% die and at that point you can train a bunch with its statue
if you manage to beat its statue once without ever getting hit, at that point you have about a 75% chance of clearing the entire pantheon "first try"

>>718566429
it might just be me but i fucking love games with enemy variety
all the better if there is a bestiary with entries for all of them
its just tickles my brain in all the right ways

>>718566443
I'm rusty as fuck so I'm 100% gonna eat shit at NKG and Pure Vessel at the absolute latest

>>718494312 (OP)
I could never beat gigachad radiance on the coliseum so I didn't unlock the coolest ending, you guys think that one will be canon they follow?

>>718566682
I basically gave up myself years back and wanted to 100% it a few months back
I 100% steel mode as a warmup and then it took me about 30 hours total to clear that entire dlc, minus the bindings in the last pantheon
wouldn't recommend it : it's okay for a while but getting the last bosses down is just infuriating

>>718545106
It will actually be Friday

>>718566750
I was under the impression silksong was a prequel, before hornet got to hollownest

Demo impressions are coming in.

They nerfed the heal and made it slower.

>>718566750
Im pretty sure theyre going with Dream No More, either that or none at all

>Same demo as 6 years ago

>>718567909
Tons of updated stuff.
You can push Lace into the lava LMAO.

>>718566298
>>718566443
I think its pretty easy to beat the pantheon after practicing

My tips for the lategame enemies: Explore charms, dont just stick to the meta dps charms. You might really benefit from some shit like Baldur Shell, Quick Focus, Unbreakable Heart or stuff like that
Odds are that if youre good enough to not get use out of any crutchy charms, youre automatically good enough to eat P5 for breakfast

i played and finished hollow knight for the first time a month ago so i guess they're doing this just for me
you're welcome
game was okay btw; like a 7.5

>>718494571
Nah
I have no problem autistically replaying a boss forever until I beat it, but stacking so much tedium before you're allowed to play just rubbed my autism in the wrong way
It's the same reason I don't do challenge runs where you only have one life or speedrun games, that's for other autists

>>718568016
post scriptum


FUCK ALL BINDINGS it was like 20x harder than normal p5

>>718568051
>but stacking so much tedium before you're allowed to play just rubbed my autism in the wrong way
Youre doing it wrong dummy
Just practice the bosses or the hard segments in Hall of Gods until youre consistent enough, then go actually do the pantheon in one straight shot

>>718494571
I made it a point to get it done this year after putting it off after finishing HK like 4 years ago. I didn't get the speedrun achievements and shit though.

>>718494312 (OP)
I took a deep, long look into my soul. And realized I don't even want to play this game anymore. I just wanted it to be real. Feels like all my anticipation ended now.

>>718568114
>just practice for playing the game
You don't get me. Assuming that there are no difference between beating the practice boss and the boss in the pantheon, then beating the practice boss in a 1V1 would be good enough for me. After all, I beat the boss, so what the issue?
But the game would not see that as a success, because they want you to beat the boss in their 40 minute boss rush. I don't care for that, so why should I play it?

What's your expected release date?

now hornet has many attacks with proper momentum, alternate movesets, ways to propel yourself with more intuitive physics, cross through rooms faster and also a lot more feedback on the animations
so by that logic wouldnt you be cool with silksong?

There was research done ages ago that games with characters that didn't have jump physics close to Mario didn't perform as well. I read about this as a child and thought how ridiculous it is that people are so mindless and here you are in the fucking flesh spouting this bullshit.

>>718568642
>@SleepyEngi
>glad they included a realistic depiction of a panic attack at the start there for hornet!
Of fucking course it's woke shit now

i can't believe it's finally coming out! hehe time to ditch our clown attire le fellow skongs!

>>718569360
It's sarcasm, you dumbass.

>people are lining up a fuckron for silksong's demo booths
Oh geez.

>>718569448
this but ironically

>Hornet has a backstep

Sovl

This feels a bit too early. Team Cherry really shouldn't push themselves too hard and should take a break to ensure a healthy work environment. #DELAYSILKSONG

>Silksong is the Bloodborne to Hollow Knight's Dark Souls
WHAT DID THEy MEAN BY THIS

>>718569985
They mean it's the game where all the mechanics break down and the devs just give up and make everything hyper-speed to keep up the semblance of challenge

>>718569985
It means that Hornet will own a gun.

>someone said a person already ragequit the silksong demo in the lace boss fight

Oh no lmao

>>718504813
There's no tell for their gender so it's probably gay
I could see the angle where they're just an species with low gender differences, but tc usually makes their girl bugs look at least a little girly

>>718512831
Silksong is supposedly larger than Hollow knight and they didn't upgrade their team from what I understand, so it taking longer seems to be expected
Also they already are set for life, so work ethic turns from something they need to do to something they want to do, which is always going to be lower output

>>718570137
It begins. I said it back during the 2019 demo and I'll say it again, some retards are going to get so fucking filtered by Silksong. If you've ever watched a bad player in Hollow Knight they're usually very slow to move and react like they have brainlag. However HK combat isn't fast enough for that to be an insurmountable problem, at least to get the basic ending. Silksong however is so much faster, they don't stand a chance.

>>718519608
Hollow knight also has clashes

>>718570404
>Silksong however is so much faster
kek I called it
>>718570069

>>718547090
well silksong was supposed to be dlc but got expanded. it's still gonna be free for the original backers tho, or so i heard

>>718532624
that would be unfathomably based

The radiance is so shit. Glory to the Pale King, glory to the Wyrms, glory to the Void.

>>718494571
>beat the pantheon
>cant beat the randomizer
my fault for having scuffed settings but holy shit

I hope they have more Path of Pain kinda stuff

>>718570759
My only complaint about the path of pain was the lack of soul statues. Why not put them in if hiveblood exists anyways

reminder that ogrim is /ourguy/

>>718570789
>hiveblood
you didnt beat it

>>718570821
I did THOUGH

>>718494571
No.
I 100%’d the game back when Grimm troupe was the last one and when the Pantheon came out I was just done with the game.
I eventually came back to it and fought 3-4 bosses but was bored of it so I quit.

>>718570759
If so I hope they were able to improve the dynamic camera and screen transitions.

>>718570789
Yeah all precision platformers have either very short levels or generous checkpoints.

God this game looks so fucking good.
Can't believe even after all these years of so many different metroidvanias the aussies still MOG.

Why does everyone love Hornet so much?
I've played Hollow Knight a bunch, and I just thought she was a boss you fight 3 times. Never cared about her otherwise.

>>718572442
I never gave up on the hornet->void angle
I'm feeling vindicated

I'm friends with Team Cherry and they confirmed it will be revealed in a sidequest that he was a failed vessel.

>>718572442
OH NONONONONONO

>>718494571
yes but pretty regretted sinking time into it as soon as I beat it, it really wasn't fun or interesting, hope silksong goes away from that kind of thing, I'm kinda afraid it doubles down on it instead

>>718573431
fake, hornet is sexier.
I saw all her art

I know I'm old because I can't play a lame ass sidescrolling 2D action game in 2025. When I said this at work, some 20 year old defended this game like it "has really solid gameplay". I realize kids never played mario or any of this shit growing up. To zoomers, this game is "new". They never even played SotN.
My jaw dropped to the floor seeing the "big reveal" of this at ONL. It looks so fucking lame and vanilla, but to zoomers this is "epic" for some reason. I'm astounded this is some 'hype' game.
I know I'm old because I can't believe people are hyped for this lame fucking SNES garbage that's barely different than those 30 year old games. It's like metroid with DLC. WOOOOOW I could not care less.
There are entire new generations that never played certain genres.
>a 2D platformer metroidvania is hype in 2025
I watched a streamer play this game and it's seriously lame as fuck compared to something like Bloodstained. I'm too old to understand what zoomers like.

>>718572802
My brain can't even wrap my head around how someone could feel this way.

Some stupid fucking metroidvania gets this response. Zoomers don't have 30 years of metroidvanias in their head. They think this is something interesting, when it's truly a copy paste game.
The whole "silksong" hype is probably the most disconnected I've ever been from the group. I don't understand it even 1%. Can't wrap my head around it. To me it seems like a massive troll that I'm not in on.

Thanks, I'll leave the thread now. To you this will be like kids flipping out over a Minecraft clone or Factorio clone in 2045. You'll get it then.

>>718573250

Never played it.
>Super Metroid
Didn't like it.

>>718553000
I started work on a Hollow Knight porn parody years ago, but it turned into its own original thing. If I wasn't phone posting I could post old .webm's or sprites.
Things have kinda stagnated with that too, given I'm currently more worried about the current Internet censorship starting to broadly happen, so I'm data hoarding shit I like on a home server instead of deving.

>>718573973
I'm a zoomzoom (27), and I have played both of those games. Super Metroid was one of my favourite games as a kid.

why do you want to fuck bugs?

>>718573973
most zoomers who like games have played lots of old games you tard because emulation was so popular when we were in school.

how did they manage to go nearly an entire decade without so much as a single devlog

>>718574528
autistic fanbase kept doing the publicity for them

>>718574528
There were blogposts in the early days before they just stopped doing them
There was also the small ARG for discordfags which revealed some NPCs
that's about it really

>>718574528
they see how dark souls can go without having story while there will be people making 10 hour speculation vids on the story.
So they used this strategy both for the story in the first game and the game advertisement itself.

Play them and stop putting this "SotN but wholesome and 30 hour long for dash /double jump/wall jump exploration and bad level design" on a pedestal. HK is the textbook example of a bloated game without a single new idea.

These 3 should make it clear what the conversation is about.

>>718578695
I don't care about any of that but I have forgotten how cute hornet voice is.
Hope we get more cute voicelines.
NTA btw

Hopefully Silksong serves as the example of what happens when all the people who are like "YOU COULD HAVE JUST INCLUDED IT FROM THE START INSTEAD OF SAVING IT FOR DLC" get their way and the devs bake every idea they have for the game's entire scope into the initially shipped product.

But that's probably not the case.

>>718578695
it also could mean nothing and just the way devs troll these people

>>718572867
Because gamers can't go five minutes without sexualizing something

>>718572442
why is this a big deal

>>718580308
Ever think maybe YOU'RE spending too much time here rather than interacting with other people.

>interacting with others is far more painful than people who frequent /v/

>>718572442
But if she is void, why did they change the nature of the drop at all, it could have just stayed exactly as it was except with a Hornet lick of paint instead of being changed into a cocoon

I finished the first one + dlc years ago so I kinda forgot all about the story, should I watch some lore videos ? I don't know if the story is gonna be that important in silksong

>>718580919
the story is irrelevant

>>718581073
alright, I saw some ppl freaking out in the thread about the girl being "void" or whatnot so I was wondering

>>718581170
the fun was always in the combat and exploration, + decent soundtrack

i recall someone found this big guy in the first demo
anyone got any additional footage of him now?

>>718580919
silksong will have its own story not connected to the first game

>>718580824
Probably has something to do with her mother being a regular bug and not some divine plant lady.

>>718580919
It probably won't matter, considering it's most likely a prequel

>>718581817
>>718582132
it's just trans allegory garbage. just ignore it and enjoy the gameplay

I've mastered Nine Sols. I'll be ready for this.

>>718573171
from the footage i've seen, it's a flashbang everytime you strike an enemy, and a giga flashbang everytime you kill one.

was it always this blinding in the old demo/prequel?

>>718583070
>flashbang everytime you strike an enemy, and a giga flashbang everytime you kill one.
Team cherry are big fans of classic SNK fighters I see.

>>718572867
She's a good big sister. More to the point, chasing her through Greenpath and her fight marks when I started to like Hollow Knight. Her dialogue has good prose, her past and origins are tragic, she's got a good music theme, and her needle is cool as shit.

>>718494470
Play the demo and you decide.

>>718573973
>can even call yourself a gamer if you haven't played SOTN or Super Metroid?
I had Genesis, not SNES. Castlevania wasn't on my radar by the time I got a Playstation and Metroid wasn't either when I had a Gamecube. I played one of the PS2 Castlevanias, thought it was whack and didn't touch the series again for a long time.

>>718576324
It's actually a Metroidvania MMO with 500 hours of content.

>>718576596
within a week is probably feasible. I'm at 97 hours on HK (half of that is Pantheon attempts; I completed the base game and other DLCs in like 50 hours). I still don't have Steel Soul or speedrun achievements though.

>>718573624
Probably already left the thread but what do you think of Ender Lilies? I thought it was pretty good and I'm an old fuck that grew up with all the good 2d sidescrollers as well. Though admittedly I've never really played a metroidvania before Ender Lilies so my opinion might be skewed here. Never touched HK even though I got it for free with PS+ since it didn't really appeal to me.

>>718583923
>anon who played only ps2 castlevanias
>having an opinion on castlevania

>>718504813

I felt bad for killing the False Knight. His big pudgy face wasn't deserving of an untimely fate.

> didn't touch the series again for a long time.
>>718585387
>anon who can't read
Still I admit I worked my way up through the Classicvanias in the Anniv Collection so far. I'll get to SotN sometime this year or next and I literally just started Super Metroid today after having played through Zero Mission and Samus Returns a while back.

JESUS.

>available day one on game pass
I wonder how much a deal like that would have cost? The game is probably going to sell a fuck ton regardless, but I wonder if it was worth it for Team Cherry to put it on game pass.

>>718587098
They don't care. Silksong will probably do insane on Switch and Steam regardless.

Finally, a direct that it's a reasonable time for me to be up for

>>718587063
>one of the longest lines at the entire convention even beating out AAA titles
I thought the hype was a meme bros

>>718494571
I did. I originally didn't intend to but I replayed the game to get the "leave zote to die" and "save the nailcrafter" achievements so I thought, why not try it since it will be way easier without grey prince zote. I even got all the lifeblood just to prepare. Can't say I ever understood how to beat Absolute Radiance, though. I just had a cheese build with deep focus and quick focus so I could actually heal.

>>718582786
Why is yi so wee

time to ask the real question
will HE appear?

>>718587098
>>718587194
I don't like HK, but as an indie game enjoyer I played it back in 2016 not thinking much good of it, and to be honest neither did the steam users at the time.
The game didn't find it success before its release on switch because I suppose it was a cheap game to buy on a new console.

Team Cherry has much more to gain by being everywhere than chasing sales.

mfw it releases tomorrow

>>718494571
for whatever reason i could never beat the radiance and stop playing there on all my playthroughs of the game. This is weird because Im somehow able to beat grimm and his nightmare version

>>718573973

Yikes my man.

>>718587701
The crazy part about HK is how it kept snowballing.

Back when they announced Silksong in 2019 the game had 29k reviews on Steam. Now? 400k+. Unreal.

>>718494470
Your too retarded to play it I can tell will be filtered

>23 hours
okay i will sit here and wait i think

I miss the days where Shovel Knight was the indie darling.
No ill will towards the Hollow Knight fans, just a tad jealous.

>>718578695
i mean it kinda seems obvious that shes just another pale king experiment with void, so she might be partial void

>>718588434
Indie games are lucky to even get a sequel, gamers have no loyalty

>>718588434
Shovel Knight had way too many collabs.

>>718588434

September 5th is my final prediciton.
Screenshot this and suck my dick once it turns out I'm right tomorrow

>>718588928
ok

>>718588928
august 27th

>>718588787
Yeah, i genuinely think that’s what killed Shovel Knight’s publicity. The cameos made it felt as if he was a fact of life and people stopped registering him. Same phenomenon happened to Mega Man when he kept on getting yearly sequels. People ONLY started to miss Mega Man when he stopped

>>718587701
That's just bullshit, you can check early steam reviews, it was all positive.

>>718587701
>and to be honest neither did the steam users at the time
A complete lie.

>>718588928
It must be September 5th. I had the exact same thought. Even checked the calendar to see how far away that was when making my determination. Yep yep, it's Sept 5th.

>>718573173

>>718587429
They either better do a really fucking good job of explaining background shit, or do the smart thing and ignore it completely while adding a bunch of new world lore with minor references

>>718587816
I would fucking lose it

Hollow Knight is one of my favorites but the fanbase is horrendous.

Tomorrow we also get the interview with the devs. Can't wait to hear from them the reason they stayed silent for the last 5 years is because their fans are a bunch of cringe bug fuckers.

how do you go from this..

>>718494312 (OP)
This game always looks so fucking dull to me. Do not understand the excitement for it. Tried Hollow Knight, bored in 10 mins. Art style doesnt do it for me.

>>718591709
How does anyone find this art style or design compelling? Evokes nothing for me.

Steel Soul was honestly ez pz and I'm no speedrunner autist, just skip Radiance. Haven't made a serious attempt at the final pantheon tho.

Genuinely what does this mean. What the FUCK does this mean?

>>718589767
>>718589818
Not a lie. People played it and moved on. You can't really be negative about a game that gets the fundamentals right and gives you lot of content for your buck, but there was no lousy rabid fandom like it got with the switch release. An ok game, no second coming of the Christ

>>718593308
it means the developers want you to speculate based on vague bullshit because they can’t present a real, straightforward story

>>718591905
>I'm no speedrunner autist
neither am I, the "speedrun" is just a 2 hour casual playthrough if you follow the route in steam guide, no fancy tricks required to get it

>>718566429
i'm excited to see if they bring new mechanics to the game, particularly something musical with player input to discover secrets or something along those lines.

It's a good time to be a 2d platformer chad

>yuritroons already melting sown becuase muh problematic ship
proof?

I think they should delay it by 1 day, just to see how people react

>>718594546
It’s very telling that the only change in that dialogue is the addition of ‘child’. Or maybe Hornet sees 20 year olds as kids like some old people do. I don’t think Hornet met anyone as seemingly carefree as lace

Is it true that one of the devs trooned out?

I only guesses for why this game took over 6 years of development (first revealed in 2019) is because this will be a full priced game so there will be even more content than HK's base game and it's DLCs
that, or they hired an animation studio and the game will be filled with animated cut scenes and that studio had hiccups along the way

>>718595997
Yeah. Unless you suck or you're going for 100% you can do it in around 25 hours

>>718595951
>yeah, he sabotaged the game and caused 2 years of delay
Is this confirmed, or are you just being anti-troon? Did he leave team cherry?

>>718596256
I can imagine it getting complicated if they started from the idea of "more content than the first game" and then had to implement Hornet's new mechanics on top of that and base all the content around them. HK will be a simple game in comparisn I think.

>>718494312 (OP)
I am going to laugh so hard if they just announce the game is cancelled.

>>718596663
>>718596256
More animated cutscenes would be fucking kino.

>>718596256
>there will be even more content than HK's base game and it's DLCs
that'd be very unnecessary

hollow knight already has too much content if this is like twice as big it'll be a bloated abomination

>>718594565
>Humanoid and Bug anatomy
I have many questions

>>718596775
yeah dude they released a demo at gamescon and a trailer and have another big trailer tomorrow but its just canceled

>>718596658
it's as true as my name is jason schreier, you can read about it in my article tomorrow
c'mon, anon

>>718594565
Something I realized about Hollow Knight is that it really focuses on reproduction.

>>718598150
they updated it on steam 2 times today just to cancel it

Most forced "hyped" game out there. HK sucked as a metroidvania.

>>718494312 (OP)
>20 hours from now
I'm not waiting for this!

>>718522554
>>718523130
>>718527739
I'm fairly certain Silksong will have its own parry mechanic. You can see here https://youtu.be/yQxwbZsL14Y?t=109 at 1:49 Hornet actually does a parry riposte and not just a simple intercept the attack with your own. Pretty sure she also does this in her second fight in Hollow Knight, as do the Hollow Knight and Pure Vessel.

>718598502
Trying too hard. It’s a little dated now but for 2017 it was outstanding

>>718494571
I didn't
I also never beat grim, nor did I ever get the true ending
I'm a fake HK fan and a clown

>>718598675
counter =/= parry
and yes it's from her HK fights

>>718598774
It still is in 2025 desu
No game has yet to match Deepnest trap kino

what if the switch 2 gets exclusive content and there's an optional boss fight against samus

>>718598819
What's the difference?

>>718572442
Trans allegory

>>718598836
there were flash games doing that in 2005, anon

>>718494571
>Pantheon of Hallownest
Literally not why I bought the game.
Exploration and challenge>just a boss challenge

>>718594698
This literally is not happening, you obsessed schizo.

>>718598926
>parry
fast and low commitment
lets you act right after with anything you want
>counter
has a longer success window but also has a long startup first
locks you into a specific move when triggered

>>718595781
No. You are mentally ill.

hello i know the release date
it is october 16
you re welcome

>>718599507
>thursday
so they are gonna do the 2 days advanced access scam? because games launch on tuesday all the time

>>718599459
HOLLOW KNIGHT ALREADY HAD PARRIES YOU DUMB FUCK
you just timed your attack with enemy attack

>>718599507
it would be 15th at the latest because Leth confirmed it to not be tied to any console release and I doubt they'd do announcement now with 2 months still left
>>718599628
it's the xbox rog ally release date

>>718599507
is this real chat?

>>718599653
I never said it didn't?
just that Hornet's move is a counter and not a parry

>>718553000
Don't fug the bug

>>718600017
shut up dumb normgroid

>>718570376
>wait 1000 years
>just to get filtered

Sasuga…

>>718570686
The story is that the king was so rad that even the moths wanted to worship him instead of the Shitiance. Then everything goes wrong because she’s eternally salty about getting cucked.

>>718599653
Calm down you groid he was replying to my post here >>718598675 where the trailer showed a move that was clearly different from a parry in Hollow Knight.
>>718599459
Idk anon, what you just described as a counter sounds a lot like a parry+riposte in Dark Souls. Could be wrong but that's just how I understood it

im ngl with y'all but i think the artstyle looks like someone combined flash vector art with calarts and it absolutely sucks nigger dick

>>718600557
that's nice dear

>>718600623
shut your clapper cowboy

the entire soundtrack just got quietly uploaded into both steam and gog's databases. If it's not getting a surprise release tomorrow it's definitely coming out very soon

>>718558221
No true, the game is called Hollow Knight, I beat the hollow Knight, therefore I finished the game

>>718600557
fr y'all be wildin fr shieet is wack ahh

>>718594546
Erm... based?

>>718601603
>just
you mean 2 days ago

>>718591905
There's guides for that achievement specifically, I'm much more terrified about attempting 100% Steel Soul

>>718600525
NTA but yeah, Dark Souls parries are much more "committed" than those in most parry-focused games.
Compare to something like Sekiro where I’ve seen people just rapid-fire the block button if they can’t time parries, because there’s next to no downtime.
The ease is offset by the reward; counters deal big damage and put the opponent into a recovery animation, while parries simply let you avoid damage and possibly build towards a larger payoff.

>>718601603
Proofs?

So what's the worst case scenario? Christmas 2026? No way they would schedule this just to announce it was cancelled, right?

>>718495607
>>718549159
>>718567448
>>718582197
Am I going crazy? I could have sworn it was a sequel.

>>718494571
I stopped playing the game due to burnout trying to 100% the game but i might consider finishing it now. Also i hate how most of the relics are usless despite the struggle it is to get some of them.

>>718602737
They're very well-aware of how the fanbase is. I'm guessing at the very latest, mid-October, but probably September. Or in ten thousand years—what do I fuckin' know.

>>718603268
nobody knows

>>718603268
i feel like it has to be a sequel, because hornet will have dozens of new moves and tools that she didn't have in hollow knight, also it's a more interesting story that way.

>>718603307
>said "the game" twice
i'm tired...

How is this thread still up?

>>718533597
>>718535416
Okay I did play a couple more hours and I don't feel like playing anymore. Still not sure what's the big deal about your game

Is Team Cherry going to retire after this?

>>718603718
They will become joos if it sells as good or more than HK

>>718594546
Everyday I thank God that I’m not this miserable and obsessed with shipping. You people sound fucking insane to normal people

>>718603718
Only after announcing Hollow Knight: Dungbeast

>>718604062
AAAAAAHHHHH BUNTAAAAA

>>718604062
loathsome dungbeast?

>>718604174
my FUARKING hero

>>718594546
I wouldn’t be too certain of that, you can call someone a child just as an insult and Hornet is also a weird old half-god creature.

>>718603718
They have a new game planned after this, an action role-playing video game

>>718604813
I assume that'll take them even longer to make...

>>718604703
But I want to obsess over yuritroons and ruin their ship

>>718605571
Lace has nothing outside of us knowing she has a mission to kill Hornet. She being underage or whatever is the last thing shippers have to worry about story-wise.

we're getting a shadowdrop this week
right?

>>718603946
As someone who IS kinda obsessed with shipping, even I have to gawk at the mental gymnastics some people will do to justify their awful pairings. At least I’m sensible enough to recognize when a series isn’t going to validate my shipping opinions and just play the damn game.

>>718494312 (OP)
Why is Hornet so sexy?

>>718606802
It is basically guaranteed yes. There's no reason for them to have a "special" announcement if it isn't literally releasing the game.

>>718606937
I did my part by buying a shitty metroidvania I'll drop in a heartbeat if Silksong comes out. Let my $20 burn on the altar like an offering to a dead god.

>>718606869
Shippers just go crazy for rivals, especially same sex rivals.

>>718606802
>>718606937
Don't they have to ask their backers in advance for which device they want a key of the game ? Makes a shadow drop unlikely.

>>718607239
They already asked

So what's the story, anything interesting shown in the demo?

>>718607270
source: a dream i had

shadow drop is impossible
