They would make a great game, but I'd be worried it could kill the studio.

Why don't you bring back Star fox? Conker?

The worst thing is, the Game even made fun of the way better predecessor
Implying that Platformers are not "cool" anymore. Remember this released a year before the goat Platformer of all time: Super Mario Galaxy 2

Imagine they bring Conker 2, and there's a bunch DEI related satire in it
If written by somebody that gets it (STAY FAR WAY FROM WHOM THE FUCK EVER WROTE BL3!!!), it could be amazing. Never understood why they aren't doing anything with Conker.

As I recall, it made fun of excessive collecting in 64-era collectathons, which--given DK64 and Tooie--was more than fair. *shrug*The worst thing is, the Game even made fun of the way better predecessor

I wasn't always a fan of Nuts and Bolts. I was pissed when they revealed it wasn't just a traditional platformer. I downloaded the demo though (in truth, just so I could say I tried it before hating on it)? and it absolutely won me over. Now it's one of my favorite games of the generation and pretty high up on my all time gaming experiences. I agree though you get out of it what you put into it creatively. I used to wish for a sequel, but TotK has scratched that itch for now.

Oh I agree completely. It was still a good game, my disappointment was entirely based that it wasn't a Platformer, but what they did was still decent tbh

I didn't like Hollow Knight's pacing, so I'm one of the worst people in the world - got it. That McCarthy'ism I thought was exclusive to purple forum now
Given that we've shown that our Level Design skills at Moon are amongst the best in the world (both 2d in Ori and 3d in Wicked), I doubt there's any western studio out there that could handle this job and do it as well as Moon would. Toys for Bob made a bunch of Remakes - Making Remakes is not at all the same as making original creations.
Same is true for those other studios that made their reputation on remakes. Just because Bluepoint re-made Demon's Souls doesn't mean that they could actually come up with an original Souls title with the same quality. Heck, these companies often don't even have designers in their teams.
But we'll have to see. Right now we're incredibly busy making sure that No Rest for the Wicked becomes the best ARPG ever made and I'd say we're well on the way to achieve that already. And since we're independent now, we can do a great many things

Just me personally, I didn't like it's art style, map system, bland color scheme, soulslike elements or pacing. One of the most overrated games ever. It's .... fine, if you like boring games. I am really wondering how this mythical sequel of theirs is going to be received after waiting for Hollow Knight 2 has been turned into a religion for people.

You was seething a lot on Discord when anything about HollowKnight was raised up on discord a few years back 2019-20 era ish. I was there seeing it when you ranted my man.
Act your age and not your shoe size as you made yourself your own enemy by how you was and where you are now. I know I am glad to not be in your position given everything.

Nice to see a prominent name criticize Hollow Knight. The game was deified by time I got around to it and never understood the hype. It bored me to tears due to the pacing issues you mentioned.I didn't like Hollow Knight's pacing, so I'm one of the worst people in the world - got it.

I wasn't even on any Discords back then.
So put down your TikTok and get real, my man
I always said that Hollow Knight is a good game, but I just wasn't that big of a fan of it. Which apparently the Hollow Knight community grilled me over.
Ultimately, I don't care. We're dedicated to making insanely good games in the style that I love. And it looks like lots of people like what we're doing, so we'll keep doing it

You were on the XBOX Era Discord at this period, bitching about it personally, you liar (I was there); those peeps would be happy to provide receipts I am sure if you ask them lol.
Not my place or scene, but a lot of people across the field had plenty of screenshots of your tom foolery and over the years how you've acted and even now (unless you got mental issues this is not the time or place for that).
Be better.

I think Toys for Bob would be a great pick for Banjo. Spyro 4 would also be great. Sadly never going to happen m. Microsoft is going to let Spyro, Banjo, Crash all die. They could even ask Playtonic to make a Banjo. I doubt they would refuse. My hope at this point is that Microsoft sells off these IPs to somebody else.
