Turns out Cuphead is a glorified NES platformer
ign.com/videos/2016/06/09/cuphead-platforming-gameplay-reveal
Looks amazing
There's literally nothing wrong with that.
Looks great, and classic platformers are fun.
>>340535956
I bought an XBONE just for Cuphead
Looks nice, music is pretty good.
Those sound effects and the level design are pretty fucking boring though.
It's a platformer, what did you expect? It to not be a platformer?
>>340535956
Looks pretty good considering they only threw in the platforming at the last minute to appease faggots who were mad about it being a bossrush game.
Which I still don't get. Bosses are the best part of any game anyway.
>they delayed the game for a year to add content that the fans wanted that wasn't in originally (platforming; the game was supposed to just be a boss rush with no overworld map like it has now either)
BASED
Platforming was only added after the initial response and extra money came in, I'd still expect it to shine the most during bosss battles, but the platforming isn't looking bad
Still, its art style always outshines anything else
>>340535956
Looks pretty good
Stay mad sonycuck
>>340535956
im curious as to what you thought is was
>>340535956
That looks pretty amazing
Only /v/ would say 'NES platformer' as a bad thing.
Jesus christ, /v/, get it together already. How long are you going to stay in this edgy phase?
>>340535956
Looks great.
Where can I get this when its out? Will it be on steam? gog?
>>340536130
It will come to PC soon after
>>340535956
I'm actually kinda upset this won't be on the ps4
looks like a meme version of blighty blunder 9, no thanks you
>>340536365
Steam and xbone
The audio mixing is really weird. Enemies make a ton of noise, the music is pretty loud and your character makes no sound.
>western indie dev doing old school traditional animation
>it's now a platformer with boss rush gameplay
I need this
>>340535956
...why are you saying that like it's a bad thing? Are you a casual?
>>340535956
>NES platformer
what makes it NES and not SNES? do enemies constantly re spawn?
>>340536370
>windows 10
>>340536216
I played the Cuphead demo at Fan Expo Toronto last year. There totally was an overworld map there.
It did seem to be a boss rush, however, so the platforming part is cool.
>>340536179
look at
>>340536208
>>340536216
>add content that the fans wanted
If you didn't like that it was a boss rush game before, how do you figure you were a fan? Well done boss fights are the best part of every game they're in.
>They added levels
Fucking based. Can't wait to be honest with you, familia.
>>340536378
get it on PC dude
>>340536547
I hope not
>>340536728
did he died
>>340536703
I have a toaster
>Take flat Mario 1 tier level design
>Put Mega Man X dashes into it
Looks kind of boring tbqh. At least the bosses seem neat.
>>340536613
I still think the level design shown in the video looks boring. Hopefully other levels are better.
Sorry I don't consider it perfect and that calling most of it "good" isn't enough of a compliment.
>rushed platforming sections (they weren't originally planned)
>le old skool cartoon look! for you hipsters!
>looks extremely easy and repetitive
>LOLOL WE GOT A GAME GUYS SONYKEKS BTFO
This game is more of a Megaman game than Mighty No. 9. Game looks great.
>>340535956
>Turns out
?????
>>340536728
I'd be mad as shit
>>340536793
I'm pretty damn sure you'll be able to run this game
>KEKhead
>>340536196
>It's a platformer, what did you expect? It to not be a platformer?
It wasn't to begin with. Just boss fights.
>>340536976
I hope
>>340536909
fuck off retard
>A game claiming to be like an arcade run and gun game is an arcade run and gun game
>This is a problem for some reason
>>340536832
way to be passive aggressive bitch
of course its not perfect, no game is. but the reason the levels look boring is because it was put in last minute, is this good? prolly not, but more game to play isn't a bad thing.
>>340536703
It's going to be a UWP game on PC.
>>340536909
Boss fights are legitmately good. This platforming looks pretty shitty and tacked on though. Its like if you took X and put him in a mario game. there's just no challenge since he can evade everything and kill everything easily.
>>340537147
>way to be passive aggressive bitch
Anon, that's the impression I got from your reply.
I realize no game is perfect and simply gave my opinion. I hate to resort to shit like this, but calm the fuck down. I'm still going to play it.
>>340535956
Works for me, but that only makes it weird for it to be an Xbone exclusive when platformers are one of the few things the Wii-U is good at.
>>340536286
only /v/ would take one person's comment and apply it to a whole fucking userbase
Jesus christ /v/, get it together.
>>340536916
The devs probably had a smaller budget than MN9
>>340537346
Pretty sure Microsoft helped fund it, you should look up how they make all the levels in that game, pretty wild stuff.
>>340536442
actually windows 10 store and xbone
>>340537346
It's not xbone exclusive, it's also coming to Steam.
>Wii U
>>340536728
That's so perfectly tragic. If I was that kid I'd have been trying to crawl down there and get it back.
>>340537456
>>340536916
it's also made by a whopping total of 2 people, making MN9 even more embarrassing
>>340537492
>lying on the internet
>>340537616
We'll see at E3. If they use the phrase "Xbox One and Windows 10," be afraid.
>NES game
its based on the boss-heavy Treasure games for the Genesis. Which apparently not enough people played, since they bitched at the Cuphead dev for not including typical platforming.
It still looks good, but plebs don't know the satisfaction of running into increasingly bigger, more creative bosses one after the other.
>>340537272
I think they're meant to be breather levels or optional levels.
They could definitely be better but I'm glad they're just side stuff.
>>340537747
I was not a fan of Alien Soldier.
>>340535956
Yo what the fuck is this shit? I thought it was supposed to be like Ikaruga
>it has actual levels now and not just boss fights
oh fuck, my dick
>>340537717
Has anything been W10 only yet?
Cool, for the longest time I thought it was just going to be a boss rush game.
>>340536916
Because this game has a pretty uniform and pleasing aesthetic without a constant need to shove story down your throat
>>340537717
>>340537492
if it is windows 10 i'm gonna be upset, that is the same reason I wont play gigantic and that game looks like fun.
It was gonna be a boss rush only game? Thank fuck they added some plat levels to it. I always thought it was gonna be like Contra or MS. Hope they don't half ass these levels.
Is W10 necessary for this?
Or will it run in previous windows version too?
game has gone from on my radar to a actual buy now
>>340537854
every day neo-/v/ disappoints me more and more
>>340538052
...sorry I preferred Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Headdy over it?
>Cuphead is lifetime exclusive on Xbox for the console space, but in the PC space it’s going to be on every platform we can. So we’ll launch on PC and look into Mac and Linux thereafter.
>But without Microsoft’s help and support, it would be hard to get to where we’re at today. For my brother and I to dump so much into this game and remortgage our houses and just put everything possible in to make this, it would’ve probably never happened, because it would have never reached the audience without the tons of marketing push that Microsoft’s been doing.
>Our original idea was much smaller scope, eight to 10 bosses, nothing really crazy, and it would have just been a small indie game. But the current scope, thanks to Microsoft, is exactly what we dreamed of. So it’s a double-edge sword. Sure, Sony fans aren’t going to be able to buy Cuphead on their system. But at the same time, the people who do get to play Cuphead will get the full experience and not the smaller portion a three-man team was trying to pull off.
>>340535956
When was this ever not meant or expected to be the case?
>>340538489
for the longest time it was expected to be just Boss rush. And after I played it at PAX I was actually ok with that. Bosses are definitely the main feature.
>>340537963
Then just get an xbone. Cuphead and Gigantic have xbone versions too
>>340536728
It's gonna be w10 exclusive. Might as well be a bone exclusive for anyone who doesn't want to deal with w10 overall bullshit and shitty ports

am i the only one who likes boss rush games?
its specially fun withfriends
>>340540626
megaman games's biggest appeal were the bosses to me, so i don't see how a game based around boss fights is bad at all.
>>340535956
Looking forward to this one.
The only game where I don't find chromatic aberration to be that annoying.
Music sounds great, but effects sounded a bit lacking on that video, maybe they'll have time to work on that, or I'll just grow on it while playing.
>>340535956
looks pretty derivative and uninspired, more like Craphead
>>340536909
fuck off retard
I'm not upgrading to W10 for this on my gaymen desktop, but I do have a work laptop with w10 installed. Reckon I'll be able to run this on there.
>>340540783
Just like your post.
>>340536130
anon... its multiplat. it's coming to pc and ps4 as well. they just show it at the MS conferences.
>>340540783
It's all style and no substance, but that's okay depending on the price and how okay the gameplay is.
>>340540910
W10 isn't required. If it was, they wouldn't be looking to port to Mac/Linux.
>>340540910
They said it'll be on steam. You're good senpai
>>340540165
>>340535956
Looks as unimpressive as before.
It's kinda sad this will be popular based entirely on it's completely unoriginal art design. They didn't wanna bother coming up with their own unique style so they just took an established one.

>>340541130
It isn't unique, no, but it hasn't been relevant in cartoons for decades and is altogether a first in vidya unless I'm mistaken.
>>340541106
I need this game right fucking now. I hope it has online play. I have friends who I can play this with, but we don't see each other often and I don't feel like moving my PC.

That looks great. Now there is one single reason that makes you not look like a complete jackass if you bought an Xbone.
Looks boring, I prefer downwell
>>340541428
The boss fights they originally intended will still be there.
It'd be nice if they have a boss rush mode, so you can experience the original intended design uncompromised
>>340536286

there's good indie games and bad indie games. just because it's in a style isn't the sole factor into the quality of the game. if that was true, all pixel shit games would sell millions because lol that's retro, right?
if the game is gonna be a simple 80's style game then they are doing a great job at it.
>>340541432

>He doesn't shoot stuff out of his straw

Also that sound design is atrocious.
>>340541526
Yeah, but they're now broken up by pointless platforming sections. Not that I still won't play the shit out of it but it's a bad change, at least assuming the platforming is as uninteresting as it appears.
>>340535956

I thought everyone knew that already, like isn't that part of the appeal?

That one MOBA, "Gigantic" or something. Everything else it's just OS exclusive but otherwise on XBONE like Killer Instinct, Gears, Quantum Break and now Halo 5

that's what i picked up from this.
>>340535956
and?
>>340536216
But if that's the case, then the platforming might get stale, boring and lack progression later on because it was an after thought/ a late implementation, unless they really put in a great amount of effort into the platforming in that year time-span.
>>340540938

>>340541931
Gigantic is on xbone too
>>340541956
>>340541846
No, it was originally a boss rush, loke Alien Soldier. Platforming was added more recently after demand
>>340540145
to be fair it's rather natural to make thing go left to right given we're used to left being the start of something and right the end when it comes to things like reading and graphs, and that's been around for quite in games too. Dunno why there is not enough verticality in platformers though, they could use it.
>>340536728

thats the funniest thing ive seen all day
>>340537912
KI, the Gears port and maybe something else, but expect most future games to be Win10 if they're published/developed by MS or studios they own. Any possible Halo game on PC for example would most likely be Win10 only.

Chromatic aberration pisses me off so much. It hurts my fucking eyes and gives me a headache.
>>340542042
Just like XCOM2 wasn't coming and people spammed "NEVER EVER XD" constantly? lol
It's going to be on Steam and it's not published by MS. They have full ability to bring it to PS4, and honestly would be stupid not to. But they would also be stupid to say they are bringing it to PS4 beforehand, because then people wouldn't double dip ;)
>>340536981
No it wasn't you incompetent ding-bat
>>340536728
>>340542128
Well that was a good decision, boss rush would've made for a shorter game, unless they're cutting the number of bosses.
>>340541106
They've done a really great job at recreating the style of those old cartoons but frankly the animation isn't exaggerated enough, at times it seems kinda stiff.
I noticed it mostly when her face comes out of the moon, the tongue seems like it should flap a lot more violently and the nose should squash and stretch during the animation.
Also god there better be a way to turn off the CA.
>>340542210
Yes, actually it was originally just boss rush and people complained so they added platforming
>>340542136
Same but it's also the saddest.

What's the difference between lead game designer and lead developer?
I'm guessing it's the difference between idea guy and programmer but I'm not sure.

>>340536547
You're going to have to upgrade eventually.
>>340542617
Basically that. Kinda like producer and director in movies/TV.
>>340542617
Game design is usually mechanics, level layout, etc.
>>340542687
>>340542617
Are you guys fucking 12 to not know the difference between a designer and a programmer?
How many levels/bossfights there are? I don't mind if it's a NES game since i enjoy those as well, but even back then you had some kind of standard of length. It needs to at least have the amount of content a common megaman has (12-16) to be acceptable.

gameplay means you can't lock the character whenever you move. so you need less frames and must be able to break from an animation to another at literally any moment.

It ticks all the boxes of an indie title (not being quite up to par with NES gameplay) but it has outstanding graphics and deserves a pass.
>No PS4 release
Do they want the game to fail that badly?
It's okay though, I'll just get it on the computer when it comes out in 2035 or whatever.
>>340548006
I'm glad you've played it
>>340548034
>Do they want the game to fail that badly?
No, Microsoft just paid for the entirety of development, and probably suggested the delay as well.
>>340548034
Get fucked Sonnyger. Anyone has an average PC to play this on Steam.
Maybe the levels as is won't be god-tier but I have a feeling the gameplay will be really fucking tight and feel really good to play.

I just wanted a copy in a box, faggot. Owning a physical copy feels fitting for a game that was created in the style of both old platformers and old cartoons.
Also, Steam is far more cancerous than any of the consoles, so it's time to stop posting.

I think you suffer from lack of basic reading comprehension.

>Literally a carbon copy of Hard Corps Uprising
lolno. It's as much of a copy of HCU as it is of EVERY Contra game, or Metal Slug, or any 2D run and gun.

But when hat all you have it becomes monotonous. Bosses are the best part because they become the reward to a stage.
that art direction is insanely fucking appealing but the game play looked really mediocre and shallow.

>>There is if you looked forward to the cuphead that was a bullet hell all boss battles game
lmao how stupid are you? I know that's rude of me to say, but lmao, what gave you that impression that it wasn't anything but a platformer?

Not sure how they define it. But generally in large proects the lead developer makes sure the programming is coming together and hands down edicts from management or requirements to the programmers.
Lead designer helps shape the vision, gets the resources the programmers need, and brings management/customer down to reality about what can actually be done.
They may just sound like "idea guy". But trust me, when you start working as a technical person, you don't want to have to put up with non technical people's shit. .

what the fuck is up with that chromatic aberration?
>>340535956
So wait. They scrapped the boss rush mode and made this into a full on platformer shooter?
>>340535956
So that means it's good?
I didn't want this game before. I do now.
I hope those sound effects are placeholders.

as been told, all filters can be turned off.
