>no price>no reviewsHow much of a mess is it going to be at launch?
genuinely curious why they haven't announced the price
>>719323201It's either going to be lower or higher than one would expect.
>>719323201$89.99. It's Silksong. They'll buy it at any price.
No cost too greatNo score too high
>>719323201Because it's freeware.
>>719323772How crazy would it be if they just dropped it for free and didn't even comment on it. Just "Silksong out now on all platforms. Have fun!"
>>719323935If anything it should be free for Hollow Knight purchasers since it was supposed to be free DLC anyway
>>719323935it's called "gamepass"
why does this game have an obnoxious faggy fanbase like deltatroon?
>>719323980It is free for backers.
Another v meltdown thread over GOATkinong, ya love to see it
>>719323201it's gonna get delayedthis is all just a very elaborate rickroll
Friendly reminder that every thread unsubtley complaining about no reviews is a seething urinalist.
>>719322995>recommended graphics card>GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB)No doubt this is going to be a flop, I bet they're not even using industry standard engines like Unreal Engine 5™!
>>719324235It's Unity, like the first game.
>>719323253Don't think they can go lower than $15 which was the original price of Hollow Knight ($7.49 now with 50% off sale) after 7 years of development. And extra $10 for that time and extra content seems about right to me.
>>719322995I never played Hollow Knight. Should I try this?
>>719324419They're multi-millionaires who live in "guys really live like this and don't see an issue" conditions so they can spend more time making games. They absolutely COULD release it cheap to make a statement.
>>719324546It's a Metroidvania with really good music and art design and hard as fuck bosses. It also has an obnoxious furfag fanbase.Give it a shot if that sounds up your alley. (The first game filtered me near the end so I'll be waiting for a sale)
>>719322995Not playing your sidescroller
>>719322995SEX WITH MY GIRLFRIEND (male), PHANTOM, WHILST HORNET WATCHES.
>>719322995it'll probably be really nicely polished and get lots of 9s and 10s, if I had to guess
>>719324419What part of Hollow Knight making these dudes multi millionaires do you guys not understand? They aren't a corpo with a board of directors that demand profit above anything else. They're just dudes going all in on a passion project and money is a non issue now. If greed was ever in the equation all the hollow knight dlc wouldn't have been free.
>>719325281When you have millions, you still want even more money. I’d say 25 or 30 $.
How much do they pay to shill this game that no one really cares about?
the shilling of this shitty 2d sidescroller is even worse than e33 shilling
>>719322995I hope it’s big pile of shit. I just want HK fanbase to shut up once and for all.
>>719325817>no one cares about the most wishlisted game on Steam
>>719325281If money is a non issue why are they making a second game
>>719325939>>719325817its not shilling it just has a terrible fanbase
>>719323201That‘s not unusual for indie games
>>719324235This game runs at 120 fps on a shitty bingtendo tablet. If your pc is too outdated for this you need to look for a new hobby
>>719326016Probably all bots. I played the first game because of the good reviews and it sucked. I don’t care about hand drawn animation if the game is ass. Most astroturfed game of all time.
>>719326046Because they promised a Hornet DLC back during the kickstarter and they enjoyed making it too much so they didn't stop and suddenly it was big enough to be it's own game.
>>719322995posted it again award
>>719323201The game isn't even listen on the eshop, very weird
>No review copies>No price meaning the game will cost $80>Bullying small devs (already 7+ indie games got delayed because of Silksong)>Strong and independent woman protagonist>Making fun of men>Tranny programmerHoly FUCK is this the worst game of all time????
>>719326046not everyone is a wageslave who dreads their existence when confronted with work
>>719323980That's already how it works
>>719322995I'm so restless I played 2h hours of a new HK save today
it's gonna be so freaking' buggy bros
>>719330097
>>719325939>>719325962>>719326046>>719326254>>719326523Kill yourselves, shazamfaggots
>>719325564if they wanted more money, they would have released it a lot sooner
>>719322995>knowing the price early is irrelevant since you won't buy until release anyway>reviews are irrelevant because they're glorified advertising and Silksong has enough hype to do without that advertising (and it is a morally admirable stance to not grant early access to people who largely didn't give a shit about the game until the Switch release anyway)
>>719323275 I unironically would. My cutoff would probably be something like $300, still cheaper than buying a console for one exclusive
Just beat Radiance after four attempts. Fun fight, not that difficult. Abyss shriek absolutely melts her health.
>>719322995they’ll release it for 15$ dollars so they btfo every dev again.
>>719324419they could charge 40 and even 60 and get away with it
It's beautiful that a game can just release on 2 weeks' notice without these details and still be a major event. Classic gaming vibes. There shouldn't be a flood of biased, non-fan, no integrity journalists shaping the narrative of every game's release.
SEX
>>719326046They like making games
Real bapanada thread
>>719326046So you're actually an idiot or just have the most selective of memory
They should release it for free since it was supposed to be included in the first game
>>719326046Because they like making games you niggerkike
>>719326046Not everyone would just masturbate and smoke weed all day if they didn't have to work.
>>719322995It's going to be more of the same, and that won't be good enough because of how long people have been waiting that their expectations grew to "it's going to be the next Citizen Kane of vidya."
>>719322995It's going to be $30. I dunno why people don't expect this.
>>719334538>More of the sameSo like 97% of every sequel game of all time?
>>719334606Yep. Still doesn't stop people from getting their hopes up that this will be one of those 3% that's actually good.
won't crack 300k CCU, dead game
>>719333094it is free for backers
>>719323935You really do live in a fantasy.
>>719322995It's gonna be 30 bucks.Hope you are all excited to play
>>719326046they spent 6 years adding shit and making things for fun. Go read their interview with Jason Schreier, they said they had to stop adding things to ship the game. This game is basically a passion project for them, even if it started as DLC for Hollow Knight it became its own thing
MICROSOFT LEAKED IT ALREADYITS 25 DOLLARS RETARDSSSS
>>719338349>MICROSOFTretard, on Ms store it is gamepass, which is 10$
>>719335957>Game isn't even out>Dead gameDo you mean dead on arrival?
>>719338684they're getting the cope posts out of their system now so they can just play it and enjoy it normally without watching the steam charts for 24 hours a day
>>719334667i'll be enjoying your seethe in the threads for the rest of the year
>>719322995it will be good, but it will disappoint people because it got too much hype for what it is (just more Hollow Knight)
>>719326046Why not make more?
>>719339360>(just more Hollow Knight)That's literally what people want though. Obviously it'll be bigger, better, and more refined because there's an infinite budget behind it and they've had seven years to polish with no pressure.
>>719339360i don't think so, it took too long to release so the hype isn't even close to what it was when it was announced
>>719338079the hate is so forced
>>719327510it was always destined to become its own separate game. Hornet's moveset really wouldn't fit Hallownest's map in the slightest
>>719341781IIRC the first issue they ran into was that Hornet was too tall for the doors
>>719341937mm a tall female bugfu
>3 hours long>$200 dollars>No keys to the promised journos>Devs literally beat and raped several indie devs in their own homeThink before you buy anons
>>719342126Oy vey, $300? What on earth do they want $400 for?
>>719342126I can't believe they spent 15 years making a 10 minute game
>>719324587What statement? Look at us, we're so rich we don't even need more money?I mean I'll appreciate the free game but it's not exactly a lesson that'll apply to the entire industry
>>719325939>silksong>cucks journos by giving no review codes>made by two guys who hired two gimps to help out >one interview in print to answer questions by saying they were just enjoying themselves because they don't care about the money anymore>game coming out in two weeks after trailer>expedition 33>dogshit bioshock infinite tier game for tourists and journos who feel insecure about working in a gaming related profession>92 opencritic>made by le 30 devs and a dog and is chock full of dogshit UE5 slop, down to the Only Up movement and outright Only Up sections>the epitome of vidya oscarbait, even more so than TLOU2>faggot frog director, whose great innovation for gaming was "what if we added the most overdone mechanic in gaming right now to turn based games?", constantly running his gayass desperate awards campaign on every single friend simulator youtube channel, from minnmax to giant bomb to skillup>all because he knows Keighley's awards are decided by these access-craving insecure journos>garbage "documentaries" about the "making of le masterpiece" spammed on all of those channels>all so "fans" who don't play turn-based games can claim they're bringing it back while jerking off a temu version of Inception's "artists getting lost in their art to cope with life" story like it's something that's never been done before
>>719326046What a sad pathetic existence you must live that you can't understand the joy of creating something.
>>719342973holy shit two cakes
>>719324546this is a prequel, so start with this
>>719343912we don't know if it's a prequel or a sequel
>>719342973Ask how I can tell you never played Infinite on release cause you're too young or too brown
>>719343912No it isn't>>719344190Yes we do
>>719342973what is wrong with you
>>719344709that means nothinga sequel in the franchise, like Episode I was a sequel to the Star Wars saga, but a prequel in the story chronology
>>719343912It's a sequel not a prequel. Hollow Knight literally ends with "to be continued"
>>719344994Quite literally nobody has ever described SW Episode 1 as a sequel. It's literally called THE PREQUEL TRILOGY
>>719344994actually it does in fact mean that it's a sequel. if it was a prequel, they would call it a prequel. hope this helps :)
>>719322995t. Cucked Journo.
>>719344709I have never seen a company advertise a prequel as a sequel. You know why? Because there's a word for a sequel that's a prequel. Prequel. If they were trying to be coy they would use a phrase like "newest entry in the franchise."
>>719344994holy shit hollow knight fans are retarded>NO THIS GAME CAME BEFORE BECAUSE I SAID SO
>>719322995>no reviewsWho cares besides game reviewers?you know, the people with notoriously shit taste who can't finish games?
>>719344352You're an indian manlet
>>719345036>>719345040>>719345052It's game 2 in the series. Chronologically its a prequelJust like Episode 1 is the fourth Star Wars movie, but a prequel in the story chronologyTC said all endings to Hollow Knight are canonSilksong starts with Hornet being captured and you have to figure out why, eventually you'll figure out that all of this happens before HK
>>719345782>Chronologically its a prequelproofs?
>what is wrong with you
>>719343827you don't get good boy points for not being able to tell the difference between a regular cake like silksong and a cake made of dog poop like parryslop 33 outside of reddit or twitter. go back.
>>719345821
GameStop has it listed for $20. Pretty based if true.https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/nintendo-switch/products/hollow-knight-silksong---nintendo-switch/20026861.html
>>719348173What price was the first one again in didgeridoos?
>>719335957Hollow Knight only had like 20k and still sold 15million, BITCH
>>719348362It was $15 USD. Dunno what that it is in dollarydoos.
>>719335957>steam chart tranny already foaming at the mouthwhat a miserable existence
>>719348501So since they're supposedly pricing it higher this time that should in theory mean that the game is going to be longer than the first one right?
>>719348680Based on everything we've seen it seems like base Silksong will be at least a bit bigger than Hollow Knight with all the free DLC it got. And Silksong is confirmed to be getting DLC for years to come.
>>719348680It's definitely going to be much larger. They've confirmed 100 benches and 200 enemy types, which is much more than in the first game. They only confirmed 40+ bosses, which is about the same as the first game, but HK has a lot of dud bosses which silksong probably won't have (flukemarm, gruz mother, massive moss charger, oblobbles, soul warrior, vengefly king, uumuu). All these are counted as "bosses" in HK but really are just glorified big enemies.
>>719349087>They only confirmed 40+ bosses, which is about the same as the first game, but HK has a lot of dud bosses which silksong probably won't have (flukemarm, gruz mother, massive moss charger, oblobbles, soul warrior, vengefly king, uumuu). All these are counted as "bosses" in HK but really are just glorified big enemies.That's fair. I could easily see them going for a quality over quantity and focusing on having bosses be more reserved. You could have easily cut out like 10+ bosses from Hollow Knight and I don't think the game would have been any worse.
>>719349087I really hope there's not more benches because they're just placed more densely in the world. We shall see.
>>719348173it was my bet
>>719349249I was thinking that by not releasing anything for 7 years it means the devs had no chances to refine their craft with anything other than the original hollow knight and expansions. There's a risk some mechanics may end up flawed in a way they wouldn't have been had they had more chances to release stuff and gather feedback
gaystop listed the price as $20
>>719349368Honestly even with the few we've seen in the trailers they look a lot more engaging than most of the base HK bosses.
>>719323201I'm expecting 30 bucks. That's the maximum you can reasonably ask for as an indie without losing lots of sales, but also anything lower would seem like they don't have faith in their game. It's the sweet spot.If they're being greedy then $40 tops, but that will hurt their sales.
>>719322995$20.00 confirmed
>>719349315I saw a screenshot of part of the map. They didn't seem that densely placed.
>>719349798$20 USD?
>>719349902Yes
>>719348680Could just be inflation
>>719351263It could be but to be fair I'm pretty sure the devs have specifically said that Silksong will be longer than Hollow Knight.
>>719351393It better be longer after 8 years of development. Hollow Knight took half that long and they had to start from scratch
>>719330097Gonna have to edit your pasta now
>>719324587>multi-millionaireshow so? numbers don't add up for more than 2M per member
If they'd just done $15 again like the last game despite it being almost a decade later they'd be legends but $20 is still very good and enough to laugh in the face of every AAA studio already trying to convince players that actually $90 wouldn't be that unreasonable of a price when you think about it.
>>719349798huh, it's actually genuinely up on the website.here i was selling some of my tf2 inventory just in case 40 bucks wasn't enough
>>719351667?15 million copies sold x $15 is almost a quarter billion dollars.Even if you factor in sales, humble bundles and the like, the actual figure is still gonna be over 100 million.
>>71935212115 mil just on steamSnitch was ~7mil
>>719342229Unrelated, but I played Sword of the Sea a few days ago and the game was extremely short, maybe 3 hours long. I was kind of shocked how quickly it went by.
>>719352121They also get merch royalties from Fangamer/Yetee/etc.
>>719352204Did you get dropped when you were a baby? That only increases its profit
>>719351667Not sure how you got that number when HK sold over 15 mil. Even accounting for sales and storefronts taking a 30% cut, they've definitely made waaaaay over 2 mil each
>>719352204The 15 million figure is across all platforms
I suspect that this game is one everyone likes, will buy, but never plays.
>>719352307no. 15 is Steam onlyTotal sales close to ~20 copies (bundle shit barely makes 7-9% of it)
Just in timeDebating whether I go for all achievements or just leave it until Silksong so I don't burn myself out and maybe just come back later
>>719352420Do you have a source for that? From what I can find they say that it's 15 million total, not just on steamhttps://www.ign.com/articles/hollow-knight-reaches-15-million-copies-sold
>>719323201They can charge $90 and all the retards will still buy it in droves.
>>719352482The devs had said it's noticeably bigger than Hollowknight, so I'd take the breather to be honest.
>>719322995it's probably gonna be 39.99 and 50 for the deluxe. fortunately, it's also gonna be free on gog-games
>>719352653it's already confirmed $20 >>719349798find a new thing to pretend to be outraged about
>>719352714oh shit, it's real. well fuck
>>719326046brown or hebrewcall it
>>719352302There is also no chance they just kept cash. When you have that much money, holding them in cash is a liability. They probably bought stonks and stonks have been on a rip post covid. These guys are set for life already.
>reviewsimagine unironically relying on journos to tell you what to like or not
>>719352482>Debating whether I go for all achievementswhich ones are you missing?
>>719351540Yeah I don't really see a situation where it would end up being shorter than HK.
>>719353165>Both Speedruns>Both Steel Souls>Alt stuff like killing Zote, Banishing Troupe and Gay Nailsmith>Mister Mushroom
>>719352713There is no deluxe edition
>>719353008>journosall reviews are either drafts sent by the publisher or AI generated
>>719353008FUCK YOU I NEED TO POST SCREEN SHOTS OF REVIEWERS SAYING SOMETHING RETARDED
>>719351953>selling some of my tf2 inventoryoh shit, I should probably cash out before everything goes to 0
>>719353253 Kek, that's basically the "prove you're not just a casual" checklist. Steel Soul runs are pain, not even for the difficulty, just the anxiety. I'd say knock out the alt endings and meme stuff first-they're fast and kinda fun. Then maybe one Steel Soul run to see how it feels, save Full Completion for post-Silksong burnout recovery.
>>719352482Trying to go for that right now. Is getting the Lifeblood cocoon to 5 masks during the intermissions worth it?
What will we do when we beat Silksong, bros? How will we return to the real world?
>>719354139If you Ascend in the game you Ascend in real life.
>>719354231My time has come. Little frog png lol.
>>719353540they'll still say retarded things, just a bit later
>>719354139You play these bad boys.
>>719354139Play it a again for a challenge run. Or get back round to playing Ender Magnolia.
>>719324419They have more money now than when they started developing it
>>719353647holy shit. some of my non-unusual cosmetics have gone up 20x and are worth the price of a AAA game. I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you used to buy or trade cosmetics in tf2 you should check your inventory
>>719322995I liked Hollow Knight. I like watching people play it. It's a good game.But Silksong being dogshit trash after this long is the superior outcome for everyone.We'll get way more entertainment mileage out of that clusterfuck.
>>719355264I hope Silksong is the Dark Souls 2 (KINO that causes unprecedented seethe) of this bug series.
>>719355264I think you're underestimating how furiously mad some autists will be if it's good
>>719355479I played DS2 and found it was both not as bad as people said, but not as good as other people made it out to be
>>719355759Okay, I'll be honest. I've never thought that DS2 was kino.
>>719322995leaked its 20$
