Re: Soapbox: 30 Years Later, Super Metroid's Foreboding Atmosphere Is Still Unmatched

@somnambulance I like Fusion and Dread better as well, but I do suspect Super would beat at the very least Dread if it had a remake that just makes it a little easier to play; it's definitely an experience trying to learn to wall jump but I think the game would be more fun if it had a better map and controls.

@-wc- Google says the term is sexternity, but it's not in the dictionary so I'm doubtful. I will say, that is quite a word you've come up with. (also Google's answer looks too similar to eternity) Actually maybe you could go with sextet?

@Twilite9 I think that while releasing it sooner rather than later has some benefits, the absolutely raucous celebration when the game releases will at least attract a good few people. On top of that the mythical reputation the first game has in the realm of indie games will give it the reputation so that when people hear that there's a new Hollow Knight game they'll at least know that that's a fairly big deal. Now that I think about it, the radio silence could work out well for them, because no one outside of the hardcore fanbase is remembering about this game's development. So when they burst down the door with a release date and trailer, it's the first time these people have heard about this game in a long time, instead of being reminded about the game and its development. When it does come out, they don't feel tired of hearing murmurs, they remember it exists for the "first" time.

Also, I really hope they make at least a few more Hollow Knights as well, that universe is too amazing to leave it to only a couple stories.

@Diogmites It took me a second to realize that was satire, gave me a good scare.
