Wait... Did Ori and the Will of the Wisps copy Hollow Knight?

Finding a bathroom in a crowded mall is such a good analogy 😂

Ah fuck, hollow knight was made in unity? Get prepared for yet another delay with the current shit unity monetization changes

Lmao, hardcore console gamer, it is an oxymoron.

I guess they will need a third game after silksong. If it exists of course

If you have played both games you know Ori is for babies and dumb easy and not satisfying to play at all so it's crazy to me that the creators said they tried to perfect Metriodvania titles when it just feels like a lazy lesser version of one.

We all know that Hollow Knight is actually a rip off of the infinitely superior Hungry Knight.

All these games use some sort of input device. Therfore, they are all Pong clones.

"Roguelikes are all fucking bullshit" Mans died once on Enter the Gungeon and ragequit

A metroidvania is about getting a little lost sometimes. The more you remove the less of a Metroidvania you will have. You will just have a platformer which is fine

Am I the only one that was disappointed with Ori and the Will of the Wisps? It's Ori 2.0. Same game with some extra shit and shoe horned Hollow knight mechanics. It felt disjointed to me. I don't think I even finished is.

How will the creators of will of the wisps react when silksong comes out?

Mahler just sounds like an asshole ngl

This has taught me a lot.

It’s a little silly how two Australian goobers made a more popular game than a team of 80 people

I'm just disapointed that Ori didn't copy Iselda, I would love to see her in high res.

god i love ori 2

I don't really care if Ori and the Will of the Wisps "stole" from anything; it's one of the best games I've ever played, and I think it's far better than any of its supposed inspirations. Hollow Knight is great, but I like everything about Ori better.

naah

Mr mossbag69 can you make a 5 hour video explaining how genshin impact is actually not a waifu game, but a husbando game

I'm realizing on my second watching of this video that A: You simply named dropped a list of games I will now put on my Wishlist, and B: I guess I'm a Metroidvania fan XD

They are both videogames

ori copied hollow knight

Would you imagine that Team Cherry took inspiration from Hungry Knight to make Hollow Knight!? That would be such a coincidence!!

Not done watching yet.

Tbh in todays world ist almost impossible to make something new never seen before. Its ok to take inspiration in all the good stuff.and hollow knight was not the first game to use a charm system 🙄

Also i dont remember knight flinging around via enemies,flying With a leafor digging through the ground.

When I first heard of hollow knight I thought it was basically dark souls metrovania with bugs
(At the time I never played either, because I was to poor to buy them, and classmates told me so much about it, I didn't see a reason to buy it)

The reason being I thought hollow knight took inspiration from dark souls is because
1. Your character is a chosen nobody (dark souls and any souls game your character is apart of a larger group of certain people and only those certain people can "save the world" but your character is a nobody, same with hollowknight your character is the child of the king born in the void, there are many like you, and you are a nobody)
2. You play in a world that used to be thriving and bustling place, now it's broken, fractured, a hollow husk of what it used to be
3. You can find most of the lore by reading item descriptions
4. Hollow knights bosses were supposed to be really tough and you'd need to avoid the majority of attacks, unless you wanted to get 2 shotted
5. Most people you meet inhollow knight will have a terrible fate ahead of them, or are already in a fate worse than death

Guys hold on a second!



I think hollow knight might have copied metroid.

The comments in part 3 about hollow knight being too slow paced just go to show how there wont be a perfect game for everyone, as individual opinions about things will vary

For example, I loved hollow knight's pacing and depth and the game is a very well deserved 10/10 in my books, I have very few complaints

This was a ride. Thank you. 🩵✨️🥰

Honestly when I beat the hollow knight for the first time I felt sad that my favorite game in a long time was over. It felt like I was missing something as well. I wanted to know much more about hornet and the hollow knight. So thats what I’m doing currently. I did spend the first 10 hours of the game in the forgotten crossroads thoroughly exploring every inch because I didn’t know what else to do. Even after I got the power that allows you to shoot. Because I didnt know where the entrance to green path was. After getting to the fungal wastes I realized how the game works. I LOVE hollow knight. But my least favorite thing about it is honestly the vagueness of its story and how it’s not clear how to choose the option to destroy the infection.

The way video games improve is by doing what their peers did, but better. That's how we went from Doom 1 to Battlefield 4, or from Final fantasy 1 to Persona 5, or from Metroid 1 to Hollow Knight. I know it's a foreign concept to most video game developers nowadays but that's how it used to be.

Unlike Ori, Hollow Knight actually have a story that isn't just a bad plot-device token bird, and it has an endgame and actual post game challenges. Very different games.

Isn't touhou luna nights a metroidvania with anime girls?

Both of these games are some of my favorites of all time. Both are different and in different worlds with different playstyles. I guess sharing a charm system could be considered copying? But by that logic any game that has a lvl up or upgrade system is copying another. The feeling and fun of the game is more important.

I personally fucking love the combat system in Ori, the hammer specifically, I've seen people use it and thought it was pretty fucking cool. And yeah, itis pretty fucking cool. The platforming also just dials the combat to 11, while the only boss I really liked was the spider (I forgot her name) as the bosses can get pretty annoying, I love the chase sequances they are so good and if you asked me, they are the real boss fights. Anyway back on topic, the sword is great, the spear is amazing, theothers are fine and I fucking love the hammer holy shit you need to play this game for the hammer, the hammer is so fucking god damn god-like

>resetera, an internet forum dedicated to discussing video games

Both games sit in my all time favourite games list.

Who cares who did what, when, and why first. If the game is good, I am good too.

I feel like silksong is a bit of a hollowknight rip off NGL.

what an incredibly well made video, your dedication to true & focused research is honestly inspiring

These games are not even closely similar and I feel like if anyone says ori copied hollow knight somehow no it did not straight up I mean look at these games. Again taking ideas is not copying mainly because almost none of hollow knights ideas are truly original how it uses it and how it implements it is.

I just like Metroidvanias. You start out fearing every enemy that's twice your size, but you end it feeling stronger than the final boss. You feel empowered. Hollow knight and Metroid dread did this the best for me. Just play more Metroid vanias. One day I want to make one if I can.
