Thread 719715942

why Deltarune didn't have the same level of groundbreaking hype as Silksong when their circustances are so similar?

deltarune isn't really a game, its just a story with some mechanics around it to present the story

>>719715942 (OP)
Toby would regularly update people on the development of the game via his newsletter; fans of Silksong have been in the dark for years.

Also you should phrase it "Why didn't Deltarune", not "why Deltarune didn't", OP

Because Deltarune shadowdropped 7 years ago and was regularly updated every quarter while Silksong got announced in 2019 and had COMPLETE FUCKING SILENCE until literally 2 weeks ago

>>719715942 (OP)
Deltarune release was two chapters in the middle of the story, and Deltarune gets consistent newsletters about the game. Team Cherry was radio silent for seven years.
Even as a Deltashill i can fully admit the situations aren't comparable at all and shouldn't be. Silksong is a much bigger release.
Maaaybe try again when all that's left for Deltarune is chapter 7 and everybody is waiting to learn wtf is up with WD Gaster after 15 years of ARG teasing.

we didn't have fake teases of Deltarune chapter 3 every single event and year for over 5 years with multiple large companies suggesting it was coming out any day now

>>719715942 (OP)
It did

>>719715942 (OP)
It’s not finished. Expect a hype cycle whenever a new chapter releases.

>>719716075
I didn't even notice he said it the other way around until you mentioned it. don't be so pedantic

Don't forget, Im with you in the dark

>>719715942 (OP)
Delta rune isn't even finished and silk song is

as someone who likes hollow knight and not deltarune, the deltarune fanbase, artstyle, character design and everything surrounding it is a major turn off. it seems like a celebration of mental illness, whereas hollow knight is just a fun bug game.

>>719717098
I like them both

>>719717098
I'm seeing retards on this very site claiming they were postponing suicides and practically acting like hyperventilating redditors over Silksong. I fail to see the difference between the two fanbases.

Despite the absolutely MASSIVE zoomer shill campaign these last few weeks, Silksong never had a fraction of the threads that Deltaruna had. Shillsong might be more popular on heckin' Reddit or Twatter, I don't know or care, but here, it's been way more Deltarune.

>>719717098
If you think team cherry aren't about as woke as Toby Fox then you're naive desu.

>>719715942 (OP)
normal metroidvania vs quirky indie story-heavy earthbound-inspired RPG about bullied kids, lesbians and meta elements

Based video game enjoyer

Silksong is a complete game and you don't need to be a massive HK fan to be hyped for it. Deltarune still has a large core fanbase but everyone else stopped caring a long time ago until it's actually finished.

>>719715942 (OP)
It was there, there's just a janny with a hateboner for Deltarune so threads for it were nuked after 3 days of discussion.

>>719717241

>>719715942 (OP)
We did this song and dance three times
>one for SURVEY_PROGRAM shadow drop
>one for Chapter 2 shadow drop
>one for Chapters 3 + 4 (which was announced ahead of time in a direct)
and we have a confirmed date for Chapter 5 now

compared to Silksong which was 8 years of nothing iirc

>>719715995
Retard
>>719715942 (OP)
Just like everyone said, Deltarune had a shorter waiting time period (half of Silksong's) and got updates through newsletters on what to expect for later chapters, meanwhile, all Team Cherry did was just inform us that the game isn't canceled

>>719718698
I'd rather have 8 years of nothing then a finished game than being drip fed it in unsatisfying bite sized chunks

>>719717098
Theres a gay story in HK and it's a pretty important part of the lore

Deltatroon is a "game" for mentally ill trannies so obviously it's not going to be as successful as Silksong.

>>719717262
I don't give a shit if they're the most woke people in the entire world as long as they make a good game and don't shoehorn their woke into the game. So far, they've accomplished that, which makes them better and more self-aware people than 99% of that ilk.

Silksong got this close to become a new generation's Half Life 3

Okay, but here's the real question.
Shouldn't the normal happening be that the game gets completely forgotten after nearly a decade of nothing? Instead the hype and expectation kept going and building up even more and more as more time passed. No "oh, it's vaporware2, no "oh, it's never gonna come out who cares".
What caused that? Why did the balloon kept getting bigger instead of smaller?

>>719715942 (OP)
>Ch. 1: 2018
>Ch. 2: 2021
>Ch. 3+4: 2025
>Ch. 5: 2026?
This release schedule destroys all the hype.

>>719715942 (OP)
Because it's a vastly inferior genre of game
Also mad troon vibes

>>719715942 (OP)
Deltarune is being released in chunks and Silksong is being released in full. I think Deltarune's hype has remained at a very respectable level despite this.

deltarune isn't even out yet, most people lose interest in it the second they learn it's not even completed

>>719724149
>Ch. 5: 2026?
lol
lmao even
and remember this is a 7 chapter story
thats what kills deltarune for me, and cements toby as a lazy fuck instead of a good gamemaker

>>719715942 (OP)
Why is /v/ so obsessed with slop?
I do not want to hear about either of those games.

>I saw someone say "deltatroon" and I burst out laughing like we cannot be serious here

>>719715942 (OP)
Silksong is astroturfed by a dozen schizos on reddit that have been mindbroken by Ai generated news leaks, and barely anyone actually cares about hollow knight or considers it iconic.

>>719717098
if you don't like celebrating mental illness i'm curious why you post here

>>719715942 (OP)
Because Deltarune isnt the masterpiece that Undertale was. And you could see it for yourself with each new chapter.
Meanwhile everything points to Silksong being the Breath of the Wild of for indie games

>>719717098
Agreed.

I haven't played it but everything I've seen regarding Deltarune paints it as the gayest piece of media that has ever existed including actual gay porn

>>719715942 (OP)
This little scene spawned a shitton of ''greek mythology'' fanarts and they're still coming, if Toby does it right, it has the potential to become the Sans moment in the future
Until DR development is finally complete, it relies on moments like these for now.
are people trying to start fandom wars? lemao

>>719715942 (OP)
Because the dev is a lazyass unlike TC

>>719717098
As anti woke faggot who shits on kingdom come 2, i can tell while fandom is cancerous with troons, the game itself is pretty good. Like western furry version of Persona 4 or Chrono Trigger. You have a main character ans bunch of waifus who are decently written

>>719715942 (OP)
Based community with a few fags vs a community saturated by fags

Not really, the shazam discords are desperately trying to prevent another reaming.

No staying power

>>719715942 (OP)
Episodic release + extremely low effort graphics will do that. The only thing deltarune does exceptionally is the music

>>719717098
Fpbp

>>719715942 (OP)
I'm so excited for Deltarune to finish

>>719737991
I've literally never heard a DR track. Post me one?
All I like from Undertail is Bonetrousle

>>719715942 (OP)
silksong is a game, deltarune is a collection of minigames with some tumblr story and art

Silk Song paid for ad space and Deltarune has basically been banned since it came out and the fagmins even tried to sabotage people trying to discuss the game by inviting /vg/ over to turn it into a general (Generals don't discuss games)

>>719715942 (OP)
It's way too gay, has bad art, and Kris isn't a defined character like Hornet is.

>>719715942 (OP)
Deltarune would have unironically probably had a similar scenario to it if only it wasn't episodic.

>>719715942 (OP)
Deltarune is also pretty huge, easily the second biggest indie release this year. But you don't have to be an autistic ragebaiter to know that Silksong is a much bigger and better game in terms of content and gameplay quality, and it's also the entire game.

If Deltarune released with all 7 chapters this year, the hype would have been comparable to Silksong's, maybe even higher.

>>719721845
No there isn't.

As much as I dump on HK, it’s at least a completely made game. The Toby Fox games are just plain dogshit.

>>719744428
He's probably referring to that flower quest, but it's not important to the game at all and it wasn't even made by Team Cherry but by some chink Kickstarter backer.

>>719715942 (OP)
Infested with furfags. Whilst the bugfags are only bugfags as a joke

>>719715942 (OP)
Because it is dogshit for discord trannies and the kids they groom
Also not a game

Deltarune isn't out.

>Deltatroon

Pick one, and only one.

HK/SS are only talked about because of "dark souls of metroidvanias" and "silksong release in 2 more weeks, this time for sure" articles
Hollow Knight has 15mil sales across all platforms, and Undertale has 30mil.

>>719715942 (OP)
toby fox is a faggot making a trend
Team Cherry is making high quality games.

>>719749262
This. It's essentially not really a game. It's some faggot storybook

undertale is ultimately niche despite what you see on your circles of the internet. it’s natural autismo hyperfixation catnip but it has no sauce.
hollow knight is Cool, finessed, and has massive crossover appeal. simple as

>>719743353
Nah, you’re coping hard. Silksong looks like it’s gonna be Hornet’s 30-hour movement tech showcase with an artbook attached, while Deltarune is at least trying to do something different with its gameplay structure and story pacing. Calling it "tumblr art" is peak 2015 insult, get with the times. At least DR has music people actually remember a week after they play the demo.

>>719752306
Well said anon.

Unless the ending he dreamt up is actually so shit it'll retroactively bury Undertale

this desu. Deltarune is just gay Tumblr shit continued on into current year.

>>719715942 (OP)
At no point has there ever been any doubt that Deltarune will be released

I like Deltarune but fucking DESPISE this piecemeal shit Toby is doing.

Because deltatroon is homosexuality done so hard it's inverted it's genitals, and Hollow Knight is some good old fashioned, handcrafted epic storytelling, but bug sized.

Tony hit gold with Undertale, then proceeded to dilute it with the base metals of his fan base.

>>719759049
nobody talks about hollow knight, except in the context of silksong not being released

Can we clown on Silksong one last time before it drops?

>Deltarune is somehow gayer than Undertale

Deltarune has actually healthy straight relationships and the one lesbian "ship" is expressly shown to be a childish infatuation with a "bad girl" archetype. I hate homosexuality in stories and games and I found Deltarune to be a breath of fresh air.
>>719762747
They didn't even use any sound effects from Undertale. What a lazy show.

>>719715942 (OP)
Deltarune is exclusively for autistic furfags.

>>719715942 (OP)
I guess you weren't there when people were freaking out over the switch 2 announcement only for everyone to also say "FUCK YOU RANDY" immediately right after during the Borderlands 4 ad. It was really bizarre how everyone had the same reaction.

>>719715942 (OP)
no one likes troons except for other troons and they make up like .0003% of the population so you go figure

>>719765679
To be fair, what else would you say to Randy Pitchford?

>>719715942 (OP)
Toby killed the game by making it episodic. He should have stuck to what he said he was going to do and wait for the game to be done.

>>719765679
Borderlands has gotten progressively worse since the first one and it surprises you at all that in the current day where you can't even play borderlands 1 without potentially downloading invasive spyware that people dislike Randy "I added a gold chest to force people to follow me on Twitter" Pitchford

>>719717098
I had no reference for deltarune. Didn't play undertale and it came out during the era of my life where I stopped playing games for a bit (2014-2016 Fuck, games were so shit in that era. I didn't quit out of spite but looking back no wonder I did quit). I never participated in tumblr culture or webcomic culture. All I knew was hearing megalovania and I think hopes and dreams or whatever the fuck that song is called because I listened to silvagunner occasionally.

Anyways a streamer I watched played deltarune on/near launch and I was baffled. I just didn't get it at all. I didn't find the poorly drawn characters attractive in any way. The writing did nothing for me positively or negatively. It was such a nothingburger and I couldn't understand the reaction it was receiving. I still don't get it. I still don't give a shit about any of the characters, world, or lore in any capacity. I guess spamton is cool, but lolsorandumb joker characters aren't real characters, it's literally just a gag. I guess that was a well executed gag character so I'll give Toby his roses there.

>>719767075
>Anyways a streamer I watched

>>719767405
Reminder that Toby ran a twitter poll, and like half the people that liked Undertale admitted to just watching someone else play it. Which means a lot when you know how many people DID play it

>>719767075
My story was the exact opposite. I hated Undertale without even trying it since its release, then I watched a stream last year and got hooked.

>>719767000
I dunno, I liked the environments and classes in 2 and pre-sequel. I assumed at least someone would be like 'oh, cool, another borderlands' instead of everyone genuinely hating it. I mean, I got over it after 3 when every female was a girl boss and the only guy you take quests from was a joke. Although as a guilty pleasure I do kinda like "Hey super fan!".

A. I think you're mentally ill, multiple people can say the same shit on 4chan
B. If you look at the thread from last month in your archive screenshot someone posted the poll results and some old memes from 2017

Hey guys did you know that ralsei is based on a dead kid and this is 100% true?

>>719770472
No such poll exists, faggot-kun, otherwise you would've actually posted it by now instead of throwing "dude trust me" like every other time you've done it

It might not have even been the first time it was asked according to this post from 2016.

Because Deltatroon is gay and faggy while Silksong is kino. Also you are either ESL or under-age.

You have provided a proof, but a very old one

>trailer got less than 5 mil views
Lmao it's nothingburger.

Deltarune was so not popular that tranny janny had to take days off at his McJob so he could browse /v/ 24 hours a day killing off every thread that remotely reminded him of Deltarune, and despite of this, as soon as he turns his back there's another Deltarune thread reaching bump limit. The only thing that changed since release is that threads reach page 11 at 550 posts instead of 700.

>>719775669
Based janny

undertale was pretty good, but deltatroon kinda ruined the whole mythos for me so far
it's like watered down homestuck
