From an artistic standpoint this is a carbon copy of Hollow knight and is in no way original. Same mechanics and enemy attacks and sounds like they literally copy pasted voice sound effects and whatnot.
@@Faine212 There are indeed a lot of borrowed mechanics from Hollow Knight but the music, enemy design, story, and overall aesthetic look neat and original. I’ve seen other metroidvanias that look & feel way more derivative of HK than this.
@@benhmedia what story? The trailer does nothing more than deliver edgy one liners without context in a world that’s so jarringly disjointed in it’s own theme that it just clashes harshly against itself, seems like a project that aimed too high wishing to be HK
@@RoundShades537My original comment was just meant as mild praise + a joke haha The game might end up being a derivative HK clone, but I think there’s enough going for it (especially with the music and aesthetic of its world) that I’m - at the very least - somewhat intrigued.
I thought you were exaggerating at first but the pogos, the way the dash looks, the combat, and the level design really show where it got its inspiration from
@@KyoukiJuuno no kidding, I've spent too much time playing hollow knight, the weight, speed, attacks, map, area reveal when accessing a secret area, I can tell you its exactly the same. I'm certain this is the same engine.
@@Xman34washere The problem is dat our society no longer takes pride in its work…. NOT ALL IDEAS ARE GROOVY, some are only Hip and many are just BAD!!! Keep da good, expel the bad datz what I say.
I think the hollow knight comparisons are definitely warranted, but this still looks different enough to be it's own thing :D We've gotten to the point waiting for Silksong that people are just deciding to make their own
@@leptymarkgrodlar5769 OK but you can't deny the dash and some other gameplay shown in the trailer are really Hollow Knight. Not saying anything bad about the game though, it looks really interesting
@@PrixtoTNTlol, even shovel knight had dashing. People been dashing and bouncing and slashin in metroidvanias long before hollow knight. Like Cave Story.
@@leptymarkgrodlar5769 You can't be that dense. Pay attention to the animation, the frames, the physics. It's literally Hollow Knight, it goes beyond just inspiration and similarities and it's more of a clone of sorts. Which is fine, but it is what it is.
@@owenkammer9501 Not PARTICULARLY, but if these guys would have come up with a COMPLETELY ORIGINAL IDEA, then not only would they be praised fo their art, but they would also have the respect of me and all others who noticed their shameful Hollow Knight copying.
Feel pretty unsure about this one, it’s obviously playing off of hollow knights gameplay to the point that it feels more like a copy than an inspiration, map design looks intriguing but almost too abstract and the art direction feels like it really wants to be a dark and edgy introspective ala dark souls without much storytelling up front but I doubt they can actually come up with an interesting concept enough to make all the abstract ideas interesting (you know kinda how hollow knight was able to pull off that perfect feeling with minimalist design) I might be overly pessimistic over a 2 min trailer without much context but it just runs me the wrong way in almost every way, will have to see how it turns out in the end
Freal like the dash and down pogo feels more like a copy then being its own unque thing. Like they ripped the code for certain movements off Hollow Knight and plastered it in this game tbh.
@@ogeans they didn’t but if you don’t see how the visuals, feeling and sound effects are literally ripped off of HK from this trailer you’re honestly delusional
@@ogeans Maybe it didnt but you can clearly see the movements look the exact same as in HK. Its not inspired. Its a direct copy. The slashes, down pogo and just general movement was taken from Hollow Knight. Dont get what you mean by inventing metroidvania genre.. this game is a cheap carbon copy of HK's movement. Don't get how some people cant clearly see it. There is a difference between using someone elses idea to forge your own vs copy and pasting or in other words plagerizing another idea to make it your own.
I've read the comments and guys can you stop comparing every new metroidvania to hollow knight when you see a pogo? I mean look at Haiku the robot, it's a really good game! This game looks good and we haven't seen a lot about it yet, it has a lot of potential and possibilities and looks like it would be on the psycologic side too, it gave me a "trapped in your own mind" kinda feeling which is intriguing on its own; the characters and a bit of the events shown (like the one where you can answer a question in two different ways) seem humoristic like undertale, and I don't think there's any need to explain why that's a good thing. Also the blue platform is an environment-changing ability which are rarely seen since players usually break the game with those, and it would be interesting to see how they designed the game around that and maybe other abilities like that
The difference it's that Bug Fable is better than any Paper Mario. I would even say that Bug Fables is better than Paper Mario TTYD in a lot of aspect. 😁
Looks neat but doesn't look like they didn't change the font size for the switch as this is on PC and they should change it for switch handheld to make it easier to read text .
controls and map look very hollow knight inspired Edit: just read comments after making my own and it seems im not the only one with this opinion, everyone is saying its a hollow knight clone lmao.
maybe people wouldn't be calling this a Hollow Knight rip-off if it wasn't painfully obvious that HK was its "inspiration" more than any other Metroidvania on the market, at least based on what we see in the trailer.
I do not know what kind of game I was expecting when clicking the link. I CERTAINLY didnt expect what basically looks like if the creators of Hollow Knight were french. And took a LOT of magic mushrooms. Im intrigued.
the moveset is just hollow knight's moveset. There is nothing unique. He moves the same *exact* way. Other than that pretty cool and potentially original *besides the map aswell*. Not a clone, but I can see they took *HEAVY* inspiration.
From an artistic standpoint this game looks super intriguing and well-designed!
From a personal standpoint...are the developers okay?
No they are not 😭

This looks amazing! definitely giving me some hollow knight vibes with the movement and gameplay
I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that
I thought you were exaggerating at first but the pogos, the way the dash looks, the combat, and the level design really show where it got its inspiration from
Of course
Frankly someone at Team Cherry should check if their code repo was compromised, this just feels unnaturally close. 😂

First thought was “Oh Hollow Knight but lighthearted!”
Only half of that was true
this looks like a game, which used every idea that came to mind without elaborating too long if it's a weird or bad one
Is that a problem for you?
Yes

Too early. Last one was in march

Hollow Knight didn't invent the Metroidvania genre.

Looks like this game will "sharpen" your skills.
Dad stop..
Would like to "point" out that that was a funny joke
@@6poepchinees9 Uncle please..
Did you really just "pen" this?
I wanna erase this comment from my memory.
"Mom, can we get Silksong?"
"We already have Silkong at home."
Silksong at home:
Since we ain't getting silk song for another couple years I'll try this out for now.

Well it’s basically a Hollow Knight clone, and datz all yo have to know bout’ it.
Just go watch a Hollow Knight playthrough. You've seen this game then.
Silksong is looking good!
I thought it would be one of those games that are awesome but super short , but that metroid-like map gave me hope.
This Silksong looks awesome.
That music, wow! Can't wait!
A year ago, if you told us we'd be excited about a game about a pencil sharpener(?), we'd think you're crazy.
Me: "The Perfect Pencil doesn't exist."
Me after watching the video: "I'll take your entire stock!"
Wild Woody: "Am I a joke to you?"
Remember how people made Bug Fables to please the fans who wanted a new Paper Mario game? Similar vibes for Silksong
The difference it's that Bug Fable is better than any Paper Mario. I would even say that Bug Fables is better than Paper Mario TTYD in a lot of aspect. 😁
Hollow pencil looks sick!
Please add all the rest of the classic consoles and classic games coming to Nintendo Switch Online Service soon and thanks
Part of me is hyped for what looks like a great metroidvania, but the other part of me is terrified.
Part of me is gay
@@MrEquusQuagga get well soon

Silksong looking good so far
don't drop it into the ocean like that sailor did in spongebob
Just wishlisted it on steam. Can't wait to see what it's like!
Kinda looks like the “copy my homework but change it up” meme with hollow knight
Silksong looks great!
Love the angst!
Man I really hope this releases soon :)
"we discovered the magic pencil"
-spongebob reference huh
I put down a similar comment. It’s funny how we both thought of SpongeBob when we saw this.
I saw the title in my notification center and I was like wait is there gonna be like an Apple Pencil for Nintendo switch or something LOL
“can I copy your homework?”
“yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious”
Every pencil is made perfect. It’s how you sharpen it that matters
Not really
The art style really reminds me of Spiritfarer. Might give this ago.
Game for people who are falling into a depressive spiral waiting for Silksong
This looks fun
Can't wait to speed run this game 😂
You know that user
Dude, the new Hollow Knight mod looking great!
Thumbnail looks like a Xenoblade box art
It's Xenoblade 4.
That's what I thought too and decided to click lmao
Wow non mi aspettavo qualcosa di apparentemente così buono potesse derivare da uno studio italiano. Forza ragazzi! 🍕
So THATS what Team Cherry has been up to.
Hollow knight silk song looking amazing!
If Hollow Knight and Courage the Cowardly Dog had a baby...
this is so interesting that just from this trailer its eccentricity borders on coming off as overly contrived, but i have a feeling it'll deliver
I love of this seem to mix cuteness, weirdness and horror.
I want Hollow Knight crossed with Limbo and John Wick...
The Perfect Pencil
Noice
I love the graphic style and the music! Might pick it up!
Movement and gameplay feels like hollow knight .. but damn does the story look interesting af
John Wick approves the game title
😂
Sometimes these metroidvanias are all we need. The msuic and artsyle is always entrancing
Finally, a decent John wick game!
thats literally hollow knight
Loved It!! Most definetly will buy, unrelated note, are the developers all right?? I'm worried about you guys
The visuals remind me of Spiritfarer and Hollow Knight. This looks cool!
Definitely gonna buy!
Looks neat but doesn't look like they didn't change the font size for the switch as this is on PC and they should change it for switch handheld to make it easier to read text .

Oh cool, it's like Hollow Knight and Celeste had a child! 🥰
More like Hollow Knight and Rick & Morty lol
Looks awesome!
Looks like Hollow Knight!
This looks rad af
I actually need this game right now 😅😩
Reminds me of Hollow Knight, Wuppo (or just it’s genre), and Dan the Man.
Starting to play this is about overcoming a fear already. 😳

"Ripoff" or just like straight up copy.
seems interesting might buy
Finally. I was sick of using pencils ranked as number two.
Ah yes, another 4K video from Nintendo. It's been awhile.

Dang, the new Hollow Knight game looks great :)
Team Cherry might want to have their lawyers check this one out. Yikes
Finally, Silk Song.

Does anyone know when this is coming out?
Best hollow knight mod I've ever seen
it's like every metroidvania nowadays wants to be hollow knight. they don't even try to hide it anymore.

A unusual mind designed this.
Unusual colour choices I dig it
