Thread 718970329

Why are they hiding the price of this game? Will it unironically cost $80?

>>718970329 (OP)
it doesn't matter how much it costs, i'm going to buy it anyway. you mad?

>>718970475
Good goy!

>>718970475

It'll be $100 for 5-days of early access.

>>718970550
sorry, i'm just gonna buy it is all :)
stay mad

>>718970329 (OP)
Anon it took 8 years to make, the least you can do is pay $10 a year. What are you poor and gay?

why are you hype for cosmetic dlc? its the same game, same bosses, same enemies, same abilities, everything. you're just playing as the ugly bug chick instead of the little dude

>>718971174
literally all wrong

>>718970329 (OP)
Its 24.99

>>718971213
>literally all wrong

>>718971213
show me the map, show me anything other than a bullshot with a different player sprite
oh wait
>you can't

>>718971213
retard or shill?

>>718971271
Source: my mom said so

$79.99 at launch, 20% off on 2027's Summer Sale.

>>718971294
>>718971364
>>718971414
shitposting used to require effort.

>>718971213
fell for it again award

>>718971430
Actually no.
Source is from humble bundle, they leaked the price.
Its 24.99

It's gonna be free on gog. It will probably be 40 minimum

>>718971473
so did ~~sequels~~ but here we are LMAO

>>718970475
It doesn't matter how much it costs, I'm going to pirate it

Silksong was in development almost as long as Concord was. Do you think it will be almost as good?

>>718971654
games in dev for this long are never good.

Humble Bundle leaked the price, it's U$ 25.

Why make retarded shitposts that will be proven wrong in less than two weeks and nobody would believe anyway

>>718971514
Damn, that‘s cheapert than nine sols and blasphemous 2 on release

>>718970475
But Anon you won't know what the EXPERTS™ think of it if you buy it at day one! What if it gets a 6 from IGN?

>>718971654
Best case scenario is it's mostly good but with some serious bloat nobody asked for due to uncontested scope creep.

>>718971767
No way, it'll be $40 at least. That's the typical "premium" indie price.

>>718971720
I watched the trailer and de wishlisted it. it's just more hollow knight and that game already felt bloated by the end. I will play it eventually but I don't think I'll be in the mood for it for years. Just remember regardless of how long its been in dev hell and how much it'll be discussed here, there's literally no reason to buy it on launch. keep playing your fucking backlog

>>718971983
Kind of crazy now that I think about it that Tunic had the ego to charge me $40.
To be fair im canadian tho

>>718971983
>hollow knight forced other devs in the genre to lower the price of their games
>silksong is gonna do the same
Holy based

>>718972126
>>hollow knight forced other devs in the genre to lower the price of their games
When did this happen? Im pretty sure every "big" metroidvania after HK has been more expensive than it.

>>718972126
>>718972206
That didn't happen.
journos bitched about it at the time for easy clickbait, but HK's pricing had no influence on other titles whatsoever.

>>718972206
They were more expensive but they stayed in the 20-25€ range for a few years. I think part of the reason the genre became so popular is that the games were relatively cheap. More recently there‘s been more games in that 30-40€ range but silksong is gonna reset the market again

>>718972116
Aren't your AAA games $100. $40 is fine.

>>718972271
Ori 2 came out for like 20 bucks and that‘s a microsoft published game that had a lot of hype behind it. I doubt it would be that cheap it it wasn‘t for the general pricing of games in the genre that was led by hollow knight

>>718972408
irrelevant;
Ori is free thanks to goypass

>>718972126
I remember buying HK years after it came out for like $10, I thought it was a steal. AND It kept getting free updates that added more and more content. I doubt Silksong will be as generous. It'll probably have paid DLC and launch unfinished. I don't trust modern games.

>>718971787
go back to discord troon

it should be free considering its just a costume swap dlc and not a real game

>>718972447
>It'll probably have paid DLC and launch unfinished
They genuinely have no reason to do this. The devs are filthy rich after HK, and have not sold out to another publisher. It's a passion project for them. I doubt there'll be a HK3 though as they're all likely burnt out by now.

>>718972547
I want a Hollow Knight fighting game/RPG/FPS/Musou/Whatever before they hang up their programming socks forever.

>>718972370
retard.

>>718972547
>They genuinely have no reason to do this. The devs are filthy rich
So are the hades devs and they still took an exclusivity deal. You can never have too much money

>>718972668
You're the one living in Canada, lmao

>>718972693
hades didn't sell anywhere near 15 million copies.

>>718972547
>I doubt there'll be a HK3 though as they're all likely burnt out by now.
Theyll sooner probably make a zeldalike than another Hollow Knight.

>>718972650
We already know they‘re doing a zelda-like called fearless fox after silksong

>>718972756
Sounds gay
It's over

>>718970329 (OP)
Hollow Knight on steam release cost 15$ bucks i am sure they will remain in that price range and not go with 50-80

>>718972756
are you sure you're not thinking of Tunic?

>>718972709
kys retard, I only buy indie games so $40 is overpriced.
id give you stink eye loser

>>718972693
>>718972738
Also hades is meant by 20 people, and thats me lowballing.

HK is made by 3 people, and one of those dudes literally lives in a 2 bedroom apartment and made a joke about considering a 1 bedroom apartment because its easier to manage.

The costs these two devs are incurring is not even the same

>>718972827
They mentioned wanting to make a game like zelda in an interview a long time ago and they filed a trademark for a game called fearless fox a few years ago

https://www.nme.com/news/hollow-knight-silksong-developer-files-mysterious-trademarks-for-fearless-fox-3390602

>>718972934
fearless fox is a terrible name, hope that's not the game's planned title.

>>718972934
>>718972965
Literally perfect, Ive been wanting a zelda replacement forever because of how shit zelda is (im talking pre botw zelda too).

Finally, maybe Team Cherry can do it right.

>>718972932
I get what you‘re saying but the hades devs are definitely also filthy rich. Remember, they were already an established successful studio that took money from epic, got a shitton from hades and hades 2 early access and then still decided to make hades 2 full release console exclusive

>>718973067
>thinks zelda is shit
>wants a zelda clone
huh?

>>718972547
>burnt out by swapping a player sprite and making bank

>>718972965
Doesn‘t seem too different from “hollow knight“ to me
>>718973067
I found minishoot adventures and pipistrello to scratch the top down zelda itch even though the latter is a little too easy

>>718973067
retarded shill samefag

>>718973257
>Doesn‘t seem too different from “hollow knight“ to me
"hollow knight" is an intriguing name. What is a hollow knight? What makes it "hollow"? What does that imply?
"fearless fox" sounds like a saturdy morning cartoon, or a children's book.

>>718970329 (OP)
you are doing more to keep this game in the public conscious with your incessant seething than their shills ever could.

You are producing the opposite effect of your intentions.

The shitposting is getting worse, I shudder to imagine what these threads are going to look like a week from now.

>>718973418
I ain't gonna bother with the threads once the game is out.
I'd rather not get spoiled anyway.

They took too long so I'm pirating it out of spite. Imagine ordering a meal at any restaurant or something from Amazon and it took around 8 years to arrive. It's preposterous.

As far as they're concerned, they owe ME for making me wait too long.

>>718973505
>I'm pirating it out of spite.
oh nooo!
Team Cherry are drying their tears with their stacks of cash at such a damning sight!

>>718973979
I won't make a difference alone, so I'm encouraging other people to do the same, hence the post. Poor game development practices should not be encouraged, they should be penalized.

>>718972792
Yeah except HK took 3 years to make while this took 7

>>718973257
Minishoot Adventures was ultra based. Very underrated game.

>>718973505
same but when I get around to it and all the updates and fixes are added in

>>718972126
>vampire survivors did this too
>but only lasted for a few months
>most of its competitors are more expensive than VS

>>718974414
Tranpire shitvivors is a literal asset flip with obnoxious trash like mixels, they pretty much had to sell it at 3 dollars
Any game (even with the same retard gameplay) can get away with a higher price as long as it has even a slightly better artstyle

>>718973313
Wow you are a fucking moron
This is the most wishlisted game in human history. Do you actually think some thread on /v/ is going to make it more popular?

>>718973505
>Imagine ordering a meal at any restaurant or something from Amazon and it took around 8 years to arrive
The average IQ of this board must be in the 30s

>>718973505
The only people that applies to are kickstarter backers who were promised a playable hornet section
Everyone else, they're not owed anything. The game was never put up to preorder. The devs are not in charge of managing your own anticipation. They released information at the pace they wished as is their right. They are not obligated to go faster or slower.
Also video games aren't food fat fuck

>>718973505
>As far as they're concerned, they owe ME for making me wait too long.
Anon is probably trolling but this is how a lot of people genuinely feel, even if they won't say it.

>>718971929
I'm buying it twice just because of this.

I'm not even going to play it.

>>718976332
Did you buy mindseye too?

Honest to God I'm not getting this because I don't want to play as a female character. Women don't belong in games as protagonists.

>>718970329 (OP)
no price is too high for this game

It's gonna cost 120 shekels lmao LOL
Fucking dumb cunts god I hate this board

>>718970329 (OP)
No cost too great.

>>718970475
This...
I'm gonna buy it.

>>718970329 (OP)
It'll be free.

>>718972693
Hades' devs are some of the biggest attention whore faggots in the industry. they're almost as vain as expedition 33's devs. Team Cherry are lazy aussies, they simply do not give a fuck.

>>718970475
Hello we are the Hollow Knight devs here.
Thankyou for your support. You are clearly very smart with your money.
We'd like you to support us by directly posting your credit card information in this thread. thankyou.

>>718980327
No need. Publish the game on Steam with any price point and I'll just pay through there!

>>718970329 (OP)
I actually WANT it to cost 60$. On principle.

>>718980494
It will cost $80

I am not paying more than 30$

>>718980374
actually to show your support we'd like you to have your paycheck wired directly to us from now on.

Bro, calm down. It's going to be free dlc as everybody expected all along.

>>718974372
$35 price confirmed

>>718970329 (OP)
Its either gonna be 40 bucks or 20.

>>718970329 (OP)
Doesn't matter, I'm going to pirate it like most of my games. "My" as in "mine" since, you know, I actually own them
