Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong's Price Appears To Have Leaked

Funny I was just trying to find information on the eShop price. Deal of the century was previously Hollow Knight at launch @Spoony_Tech, this will undoubtedly be comparable. It’s almost guaranteed it’ll be worth whatever they ask for it, but I think it will be very generously priced.

Michael Jackson didn’t compromise with his art. When his label balked at the scope and cost involved with the THRILLER Short Film, he made it happen. He got Martin Scorsese to direct the BAD Short Film. Scream is still the most expensive music video ever made. They Don’t Care About Us was filmed in Brazil despite opposition of their government who didn’t want the world to see exactly what he wanted to expose, the poverty outside of the capital. Granted, not every one has the luxury of not worrying about things like budget, but Team Cherry have deservedly got themselves in this position and we’re all gonna reap the benefits very soon. I’m excited.

‘Ain’t too much sadder than the tears of a clown…’ September 4th, whoop whoop! Though in my head, and out loud, I was saying… ‘out now, come on!’ Great news, looking forward to pricing details. I’ll probably get on Switch, be interesting to learn what options there’ll be. hope to be on the Switch2 bandwagon some time next year. I got caught up in the hype when Hollow Knight originally launched on Switch and went ahead and bought without knowing very much about it… the game is an absolute masterpiece as far as I’m concerned.

@JohnnyMind I think the first game I ever played was Chuckie Egg on the BBC Micro. I’ve had a Commodore 64, MasterSystem, SNES, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube, Wii, various Nintendo handhelds and now my beloved Switch! Still saving for my Switch2, sometimes I genuinely consider staying away from here so I don’t lose enthusiasm.

Console gamers now have morphed in to the P.C. Master Race I used to read about in the magazines. Developers have to take some of the blame, push the boundaries, sure, but if your game is gonna chug? Change something. Adjust, compromise. But yeah, seems we can’t enjoy, or be seen to be enjoying a GAME, if it’s anything less than flawless. Well, there’s never been a flawless game or experience and never will be. This is a hobby. Have fun and appreciate the joy and beauty in it.
