This game is a joke at this point

You do NOT tease a game SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE it's even remotely close to coming to market. FFVIII Remake's director admitted the same thing after the 2015 trailer dropped as it took until 2020 before we even got it. Every month that passes for this one, my laugh only gets heftier. I've seen one-man teams do a better job and managing hype than this.

Team Cherry are scum. End of.

They BEGGED FOR MONEY ON KICKSTARTER - and when they got wealthy - it was time to treat us like we are nothing but an annoyance at best.

Totally 'new rich' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scumbags.

Ye cool, nobody is forcing you to buy this game, now scurry away

[Magic Spazm]

Valid point.

I'm not buying it after how they've treated their fans. It completely killed Hollow Knight as a whole for me.

No offence but you don't strike as the type of person to buy it in the first place

I'm allowed to provide reasonable arguments to claim that HK community disproportionately hate Team Cherry or HK for that matter, and that's just not okay, after such a great product was delivered in the first place

Team Cherry was forced into revealing the game early due to the promise of it initially being a Kickstarter backer goal of a paid DLC for the first Hollow Knight.

They hadn’t been far into Silksong’s development at that point, but nonetheless had to make the big reveal because it would’ve otherwise looked like they’d taken peoples’ money and ran. Imagine an alternate universe where six years after Godmaster came out, the public is still asking the developers, “Where’s the paid DLC you guys promised in your Kickstarter campaign?”

It sucks, but that’s just how the dice fell. Team Cherry had no other options but to announce the sequel and make people wait for years on end. They didn’t plan to make a second game from the beginning, but plans change over time.

I don't play Metroidvanias on my PC. I play them on my Switch.

Do you know how to control yourself? What difference does it make that the developers don't release the game right now? Do you have some kind of incontinence, pain in your ass from not having a game? What kind of stupid, impatient idiots people are.

Why not? Are you that entitled that the idea of waiting upsets you?

No, but announcing a game this far in advance only makes expectations either balloon out of control or kill any and all momentum.

I can think of two other examples of games teased really early like this.

Cyberpunk, and Elden Ring. The former would have been disappointing anyways, and having been there for Elden Ring, Neither of those things happened. The game met expectations and the ball started rolling again when they started advertising the game once more.

What are you basing this statement on.

Believe it or not, I completely forgot Cyberpunk did that (lost interest when I heard it was first person). As for Elden Ring, that was in a genre I don't really mess with, so I never knew it was a thing until a year before its release. Yes, your point is valid though.

As for what I'm basing this on, No Man's Sky primarily. I wanted to play that game so bad for three years... I got it... and then sadness. Yes, the game got way better eventually, but that first impression left me cold for a long while.

No man sky had similar issues to Cyberpunk. It released in a mediocre state. it would have been disappointing even if it hadn't been revealed early. At launch all you did was mine rocks and maybe interacted with an NPC every hour.

Not to mention That community was giving death threats to the devs of the game. Maybe it wasn't because of that, but now we can't rule out the possibility that harping on the devs so hard was what pressured them to release it so early. If anything, No mans sky is a warning to be patient with devs.

Well, that's a good way of viewing the situation. After all, I came back to NMS after the first few major updates, and the game starting to become fun.
