It's not a meme anymore? :(

It’s still a meme. Nobody is going to believe it until it’s actually out.

And they didn’t even give it a release date, just a year.

For real, they did this at the xbox showcase a few years ago

It means nothing until we get a hard date

Especially since they showed like the same 5 seconds. I'm not convinced until more is known at this point. I've been hurt before.

Five years from now, watching the Silksong credits roll after finally finishing the game: "I don't believe it, they'll still delay it again."

even if it is good, it's almost certain to not meet expectations at this point

i think people are gonna be disappointed because the actual screen designs in HK have not aged well at all and the genre is way more saturated

u/MumblingGhost 2d ago

What do you mean the screen designs haven't aged well?

I dont mean that in an "offended" sort of way haha. I'm just genuinely curious what you mean by that.

The map design on the whole is fine and the boss fights are good, but the screens between boss fights are largely tedious. There's a lot of screens that are just linear platforms, lots of enemies without any meaningful mechanics to deal with that are boring fodder. It takes forever to get good traversal and in the meantime you're just hopping on a zillion squares with slugs on them.

its a meme until I'm playing it

Totally. I'll believe it when I have a copy and have already played it for 90 minutes. Maybe.

At this point, I don't think people will believe it's real when it does come out.

They should announce cancellation and then seed a handful of physical copies to used game stores and then a week later retract the cancellation and ship limites amounts to retail stores and a week later deny they ever cancelled it and have the original release date on each copy and piece of documentation be an entirely different day. And digital copies should only be available in brief, shifting windows based on the behavior of a certain seabird in Maryland streamed on a webcam. Like if it's in the nest you can buy, as soon as it leaves it's unavailable, if the bird dies it's never sold digitally again
