Good. Everyone deserves to play this game. First one is a fucking masterpiece.

 

[GymWolf]

Mmm...no shit?

There was zero chances of this one not coming after the vastly overra...great first game.

 

[Markio128]

 

[SLB1904]

Is this out already?

 

[GymWolf]

Is this out already?

No.

 

[reksveks]

Is this out already?

no date for any of the platforms, some point in 2023 is my bet

 

[AV]

BUT WHEN

 

[MALpractice311]

No fucking shit. When is it actually coming out? It was announced at the beginning of 2019.

 

[AndrewRyan]

Everyone deserves to play this game.

At first I thought you were a malcontent wanting to watch the world burn, lol. Game is hard!

 

[TintoConCasera]

It's not a matter of where, but WHEN.

 

[lh032]

Sony we want you to announce the date of the next showcase not hollow silksong.

 

[ParaSeoul]

I don't get the appeal of this,feels like most people who love it probably only played this and not any other better metroidvania.

 

[Thief1987]

Ok. I felt that first game was a tedious slog, hope they improved in the sequel.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Sony is promoting this without blocking it from other platforms

 

[TintoConCasera]

I don't get the appeal of this,feels like most people who love it probably only played this and not any other better metroidvania.

Played most popular metroidvanias available to men and Hollow Knight is great bro. What didn't you like about it?

 

[Banjo64]

Wonder why they announced each platform with such a huge gap in between.

 

[Mr Hyde]

First one was good but not good enough for me to dive into a sequel.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Played most popular metroidvanias available to men and Hollow Knight is great bro. What didn't you like about it?

World seemed really empty and boring,didn't think the combat was too interesting too. Enjoyed Blasphemous more.

 

[GHG]

the vastly overra...great first game.

Well done on stopping yourself.

Wonder why they announced each platform with such a huge gap in between.

Now imagine if the announcements were reversed.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Twice i tried to play through the first one and each time i quit half way through.....i'm not really sure why it didn't resonate with me the way it does with so many of you

 

[TintoConCasera]

World seemed really empty and boring,didn't think the combat was too interesting too. Enjoyed Blasphemous more.

Aw shit. It's true that the pacing can be a bit slow sometimes since the game is very long by metroidvania standards. For me the first area was the most boting one since it's basically a fucking cave, but later on there are much more interesting ones, like a city or a bee hive.

Thanks for reminding me of Blasphemous man, I still have to play that one.

 

[jaysius]

Blasphemous was a joke compared to the difficulty and mild skill required to kill some of the bosses in Hollow Knight... ok it was mostly patience and basic pattern recognition, but gamers call that skill.

Also Blasphemous' shitty art style wasn't great, nor was it's level design.

 

[SALMORE]

I'll play it on gamepass and I'll buy later if it's came out physically

 

[MacReady13]

I'll play it on gamepass and I'll buy later if it's came out physically

Perfect answer! I'm not willing to reward the devs for this game. Fuck them. I'll wait to play it for free on Game Pass. Sony, release it on your sub service or else I'm waiting to play it for free.

 

[Knightime_X]

Agree, Hollow Knight is pretty good if you haven't played any of the castlevania metroidvanias.

 

[Lognor]

Is it day and date with the Switch and Xbox versions? Weird that it wasn't announced already. The other versions were announced back in June.

Agree, Hollow Knight is pretty good if you haven't played any of the castlevania metroidvanias.

Those are good too. But generally way too easy. I really liked the sense of exploration in Hollow Knight. They did it better than any other Metroidvania outside of the Metroid games. And I really enjoyed the difficulty.

 

[Timberwolf25]

I've played quite a few metroidvania type games and Hollow Knight is up there among the best for me. It does start out slow, but gets really good later on.
Has a great mix of some tough platforming and tough bosses. Palace of Pain (I think that was what it was called) was a highlight for me.

I'm sorry theres no cure for bad taste.

 

[DelireMan7]

Ok ok cool.

But when ??? Probably my most anticipated game currently.

Hollow Knight is a masterpiece.

 

[Fuz]

In 2076!

 

[HYDE]

Fuck yes!!

 

[Captain Toad]

Mmm...no shit?

There was zero chances of this one not coming after the vastly overra...

Yeah, damn right, you don't want finish that sentence.

 

[Orpheum]

Hollow knight is such an amazing game. And i'm glad to hear this will be available on Playstation on release. There was always the feeling it would hit other consoles besides switch a year later

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Good, now everyone can play it. They way it should be

 

[Ezekiel_]

Was there ever any doubt?

I'm going to say I mildly agree with you. I definitely like Blasphemous, but it's art and level design was not on Hollow Knight's level.

 

[skit_data]

Good to have it confirmed, but will it launch everywhere at the same day or is a moneyhat?

 

[Edgelord79]

Perfect answer! I'm not willing to reward the devs for this game. Fuck them. I'll wait to play it for free on Game Pass. Sony, release it on your sub service or else I'm waiting to play it for free.

Why does everybody act like developers don’t get a choice to be on a service or get compensated for it?

If someone chooses to wait instead of purchase then that’s their choice. They are still supporting the developers if it goes on the service.

 

[Iced Arcade]

are you ok? you do realize devs get paid for their games on gamepass right

 

[Belthazar]

I wonder if it means it'll be there day one.

 

[VeganElduderino]

I need to finish the 1st one , i love it , i love the music , the atmosphere but all i do is get lost ! Always fucking lost or die and get frustrated and move on to something else . But i still love it

 

[JusticeForAll]

First one was too hard for me to enjoy. I played and enjoyed playing all souls games for example, and I never got as frustrated there as in Hollow Knight. I don't know exactly why that is, because on paper I should love this.

 

[Trazyn the Infinite]

Good. Everyone deserves to play this game. First one is a fucking masterpiece.

Still haven’t been able to finish it. Something feels so off about the downward stab. I loved what I played, but I wish it was as responsive as Shovel Knight or even Ducktales.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Thought the first one was overrated

Ugly, dreary game

Especially after playing the magnificent Ori series this is so, blah in comparison.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Expected but the confirmation is welcome nonetheless. Loved the first game, this is day 1 whenever it launches on PS5, hopefully it has some solid DualSense implementation, it can add so much to a game.

 

[HYDE]

Funny I felt exactly the opposite.

Oh wait, no I didn’t… because both are fucking awesome. Yoku’s Island Express, Guacamelee 1 & 2, Steamworld Dig 1 & 2, and Bloodstained are amazing also.

 

[Fart Knight]

Still playing day 1 with GP

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

The wait for this game has been so long, the first of big the three to announce the official release date during one of their presentations is gonna win the generation, lol.

HK is a strange one. Objectively excellent on all fronts, but with many design choices that can understandably turn off a player.
