Cupbros get in here
>>740332356Is there a single indie who made a new IP instead of a sequel to their old thing?
>>740332784Mina
Who cares, there's no Tupac in this game.
>>740332784PixelJonathan BlowEdmund McMillenMcPig
>>740332356More Cuphead is a good thing.
>>740332784 Barely any AAA studios do that anymore. Indie studios can't afford the risk.
>pixelslopBold of them to abandon their key selling point so brazenly.
>>740332356>90's game box artsoulful
>>740332784the ori guybut it's not successfull and he's in perma crash out mode
>cuphead but they removed the entire unique selling point of hand drawn animation
>Mighty Cuphead AdventureIs it a reference to Mighty Final Fight? An 8-bit demake?
>>740335637They also announced a new hand-drawn Cuphead, this is a side projectPretty based actually
>>740332356i got filtered by the first boss in the first game, i dont think i'll get this one
>>740332356They announced two Cuphead games. This gane is a spinoff. We are also getting a proper sequel as well
>>740335029Yeah, I like it. Reminds me of the old Sega Genesis Mickey Mouse stuff.
>>740336362I got filtered by the dash button.
>What if we take the hand drawn animation that pays homage to golden age cartoons and replace ot for generic run of the mill pixel art?Fart.

>>740333938>Indie studios can't afford the risk.BAZINGA
>>740337218He is doing the Mario 1 pose you autist.
>>740332784Mina's literally the highest-rated game this year.
>>740337989Cuphead also had great gameplay and boss design. This is not the Cuphead sequel (which they also are making), this is just a spin-off. Obviously that hand-drawn artstyle is extremely intensive so makes sense they optimize for something a bit simpler for the 8-bit spin-off
>>740333467>Edmund McFaggotOh yeah, because his other games were a success and he didn't need to relay on fucking tboi with his gazillion DLCs
>>740340789Super Meat Boy and Mewgenics are both spectacular successes, the latter already confirmed breaking 1 million sales. He's the most successful indie on the list.
>New game>Turn it into another generic 2d pixel shooter
>>740340789he literally only ever made 1 sequel and it was the one that launched him from being a niche auteur only known on newgrounds into an indie superstar that people were desperate to copycathe had the foresight to not milk it any further but tommy drove that shit into the ground with 3 mediocre sequels.
>>740340296Looks fun.
>>740332784>Cuphead>indieIt's funded and published by Microsoft you retard.Fucking kill yourself you meaning of word destroying atrocity.
>>7403323562 girls 1 cuphead
>>740342042no it's not???
>>740335078>Ori and the Blind Forest>Ori and the Will of the Wisps???
>>740332356oh shit
>>740336198>They also announced a new hand-drawn CupheadI hope they don't have to mortgage their houses and sell their souls to the devil (microsoft) again to complete it
>>740354261You think? They're probably billionares by now
>>740334298>>740335637>>740337989>>740341295Retard.
i never bought the DLC
>>740332356>Clearly inspired by first gen Sonic 1 both Eastern and Western>The game itself is 8-bit NES style
>>740359363It's for Master System bro
>>740359363it's a master system game you fag, even the cover is from that system
>>740360256I'd somehow completely missed that because I was watching a Twitch restream of the event.Geoff's shit is usually boring AF to watch without it.
>Cuphead 2 in the worksI thought they finally had their fill after the DLC, but alright then.
I wanted something new
>Master System instead of fucking NESChad (and Jared), I Moldenkneeler...If it was Turbografx, I'd be more shocked.
>>740332356Even though they might reuse a lot of bosses, if theyre reusing the carrot, I still wanted more levels in Cuphead and I like pixel art
Why aren’t they aping Duck Tales and Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle with their pretend NES game?
>>740332356>Mighty Gunvolt but Cuphead insteadKino...
>>740332356Mario Cuphead.
>>740332356>Get successful based on certain things being unique>Instantly throw it out the next game.I've seen a lot of indies do this (mostly when it comes to switching out major game mechanics). Why do they always bait and switch like this? It always loses the audience interest.
>>740367950Because they're already successfulWhy wouldn't they just have their team do whatever the fuck they want now while working on their next big thing.
>>740340789stupid ass nigger award
>>740334298they announced two games, a real sequel and a spin-off
>>740332784Game Bakers does something completely different every game, Furi to Haven to Cairn
>>740367950THERES A REAL SEQUEL AND THIS IS A SPINOFF RETAAAARRRDDDD
>>740332784The Pizza Tower Dev is working on a brand new game instead of just pushing a Pizza Tower 2
>>740332356Its been over 8 years for they to announce that, they are only NOW, starting development for the sequel.As if they are some huge corporate judenberg held IP that needs years of legal shit for it to be approved.Anyone that ignores yet, and, still, wants to consoom is, to put it simple, cattle.
>>740332784legitimately all the time do you even pay attention to games?
>>740369285My theory is that these days is just insanely hard to find people that want to work in hand draw project, one of the biggest criticism of the DLC is that it was too short and they worked on that after the CUPHEAD BOOM
>>740369285They're probably doing what they're supposed to do, with all the money Cuphead brought in, get their affairs in order, chip away at the DLC and they knew there was a show coming down the pipe which probably involved red tape type shit. They did a fucking puppet show to explain that they now have a B-team putting a new game out soon. They have a B-team so they can work on drawing bro.
>>740367950Cuphead in: "The secondary tourist and the impossible task of reading news before spewing retarded takes"
I know it's way off but if they had shown anything at all of Cuphead 2, even just some concept art, then retards like >>740334298>>740335637>>740337989>>740341295>>740367950wouldn't assume that the spinoff is the sequel
>>740369581>>740369614Over 8 years. What was the revenue of the first game, compared to the overall cost of production? I would assume that, like MiSide, they have made at least 10 times over it?It is clear the game will make a fortune, yet, they still act as if they need to pilpul their way into it.
>>740370318The DLC took them an eternity, the animation was so detailed it made the original game look like a prototype and it was released 4 years ago.
>>740332784ftl to into the breach
>>740371010where's their new gameinto the breach is kino
>>740332356An update on development is nice, but man it sounds like Cuphead 2 is coming out next decade at the earliest.
>>740369380>8 Gunvolts >7 Shantaes>2 Bloodstaineds + Inti spinoffs>2 Freedom Planets>2 Axiom VergesYou could fill a list.
>>740332784Me.
>>740371443yea sequels exist toovery observant anon good boy
>>740369979Maybe learn how to read faggot
>>740332784That rat game being shilled?
>>740371384The DLC got delayed so many times that they don't even want to gamble on a date. Unfortunate
>>740332356Looks shit
>>740332356kinda disappointed. i would have prefered they use their talents on a new idea>>740372002the rat game being enjoyed by many ?
>>740372002Is the rat game in the room with us right now?
>8-bit systemIs this a master system homebrew game?
>>740337989It's a spin-off game, not the true sequel
>>740373982>Programmed in Assembly Language, Mighty Cuphead Adventure is designed with the precise, authentic specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console. While the game will still be compatible with modern consoles and personal computers, those who want a true blast from the past can experience it on a physical cartridge for the Sega Master System home gaming console.
>>740332356They announced the sequel and the SMS game at the same time making people think the 8-bit one is the sequel, I was disappointed for a moment.
>>740360428The line is >it's mastersystem you little twatHave fun dealing with that if you remember it
they went from cool game to sonic ripoff pretty fast
>>740332784Jonathan BlowYacht ClubCactus / DennatonEdmund McMillenThousands of no-name indie developers who made shit you've never heard ofPurpleApeHopooI don't know why you think this is rare
Should've gone with the Sega Mega Drive instead.
>>740377130>Run and Gunhow is this a Sonic rip-off?
>>740332784That japanese dude who made reccettear and fortune summoners?
>>740362908Notice they didn't actually say Cuphead 2. It could be a whole other genre.A Paper Mario style RPG would be kind of insane.
>>740369979they could have also also watched the trailer, it doesn't even require them to read anything
>>740346797That Cage The Elephant song is their new game. It's pretty good despite the dev begging for positive reviews.
>>740372727the fuckin base game took like seven years from announcement to release, and they already had a ton of stuff to show at the announcement already, a lot of which was entirely redone or completely removed
>>740375505I like when indie devs do this, it's way more interesting than stuff like Mina which tries to imitate a GBC artstyle but can't actually run on one.
>>740370461kino
>>740360256I think you mean the Sega System
>>740369285>Indie devs need to be working at all times on the things I want to consume and if you disagree then you're cattle
>>740369285uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so what's the problem here tholike they did literally nothing wrong, didn't even janky people's chain by teasing a sequel for this long, and just waited until they were ready to keep goingand you're whining cuz uhh......................what?
>>740333467>EdmundI love mewgenics but it is basically a TBOI sequel
>>740363142Yeah, me tooI'm honestly sorta disappointed their Next Big Game is going to be Cuphead 2 after all, even when they've gone on record to say they were sorta done with this setting and that The Delicious LAST Course would be Cuphead's last hurrahBut I guess they realized the IP is too lucrative and it's too much of a risk to do something newThat being said, I'm actually pretty hyped for Mighty Cuphead Adventure here
>>740333467Wait what is mcpig doing?
>>740381843a cartoony beat-em-up
>>740333467Mewgenics is a Binding of Isaac sequel albeitUp to and including confirming Isaac is not delusional in imagining that his mother is basically the Antichrist
>>740380063>>740380196>muh indies live for the love of the artthey dont>they will bank infinite steam money, be it from retard consoomers, content creator wannabes or retards that "grind" steam profile levelyet, they still don't put in the work (they could always prospect other people to aggregrate, be it for a different project or to help development) for said steambux.
I like how this thread exposes all the anti-pixel schizos on /v/ as being drooling morons that can't do 5 seconds of research or reading.
>>740373398IT EXISTS, IT HAS A LITTLE RAT THAT IS DRESSES LIKE A BELMONT, IT HAS SOULS ELEMENTS AND IS IN THE STYLE OF LINKS AWAKENING!
Ain't this just the exact same thing Bloodstained did with Curse of the Moon?
>>740375505who's the mega autist at mdhr willing to code in assembly? that's crazy
I'm mostly interested in seeing how the boss fights will look when translated into a pixel platformer.
>programmed in assembly for the sega master systemContinuing on their legacy of hand-inking the entire first game. These guys are masochists.
>>740383691Why are we recycling bosses...
>>740383818Because it's just the side project some guys at the studio made and the new hand-drawn game will have new bosses.
>>740383818>each Whispy fight in the image plays differently
>>740332356The first cuphead game was way too boring, normalfags pretended like this was the hardest game ever and it was just a boring toddler game framed like a weird boss rush or something. I'm not falling for this twice.
>>740369285Fucking this. They got rich and lazy, now the money is draining and they need to put out something again
>>740384610finally, the perfect loli
>>740332356>Cuphead comes back>Every bootleg copy dies on the spot
>>740379435sex
>>740385056I mean this looks pretty cool. The problem with Cuphead imitators is that they want to ape off of Cuphead's success without acknowledging that the reason Cuphead is liked is highly detailed hand-drawn animation. It's like when filmmakers tried to copy Who Framed Roger Rabbit and then realized why that movie had a notoriously difficult production. This shit is hard and time-consuming.
Cuphead with pixel art is like an angel without wings
>>740383818Large bosses on old systems pretty much have to be mostly background.
>>740332784Lucas Pope Obra Dinn was KINO
>>740375505>retro-looking game that's actually retroYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESFUCK YEAHand I thought that making pixelslop with Cuphead was retarded
>>740332356Oi this looks so soulless and defeats the purpose of cuphe->coded in asembly for the sega master systemNvm based buying on day 1
>>740342042It was funded by the brothers taking out a loan and using their house as collateral. They quite literally risked it all.
Fuck it I'm buying Cuphead, this game better be as good as you niggers say it is.
>>740387969it is, i replay it every year
>>740333139>>740340576Blacked studio
>>740373982Le fake hipster ANALOOGIE filter.....Why can't fuckers just run the master through an actual VHS and buy one of those cheap HDMI capture cards from Walmart and run the video through a Blu-ray?A cheap HDMI Monster card, a Sony Blu-ray with both HDMI and Composite output and a good VCR is all you need!
>>740332356>assemblyThe soul of yuji naka lives on in the new cuphead game
>>740388115The blm leaders were using that money to buy expensive houses meanwhile these guys were nearly bankrupt lol
>>740375505FM chip or bust. SMS sounds like nails on a chalkboard without it.
>Shantae Advance for GBA in 2025>Mighty Cuphead Adventure for Master System in 2026I like this trend. If you're gonna go retro with a game you might as well actually make it work for the system you're aping
>>740340789Retard
>>740377352Yacht Club did two different Shovel Knight games after the first one and Dennaton did Hotline Miami 2 after 1.
>>740340570imagine making this post and calling somebody else an autist
>>740375505Gotta dust off my Master System.
>>740332784Yes all the time and it is almost always a disaster anon. It really is a straight choice between maybe sinking the company and blowing all your money on a new idea to maybe repeat your success at best or just making a sequel and easily repeating it.
>>740346797No Rest for the Wicked, still in early access but releasing sometime this year.
>>740379125>I like when devs waste a ton of money porting games to defunct platforms, throwing away 40 years of game development progress (anything from savefiles to difficulty modes, lack of diagonal attacks, menu buttons like retry, return to level select, and return to title screen, enemy variety, placement, and attack patterns (sprite limits), level variety, music variety, etc.)are you stupid or just daft?the ideal would be to keep it authentic to old systems but not shy away from improvements (e.g. diagonal attack so you don't end up with gay fake difficulty like nes metroid, castlevania, and ninja gaiden)
>>740380514Gish and Meatboy both came before Isaac
>>740382208But is it a Gish sequel?
>>740385056This looks higher effort than that magician game at least.
>>740385831>the reason Cuphead is liked is highly detailed hand-drawn animation.There's way more than just burning millions on animation dum-dum>expressive characters with personality. crazy contorted faces, psychotic grins and smiles of glee, pained screams, etc. and full of touches like king dice's defeat animation with his hands looking like they're alive and groveling>a plot that justifies the game existing, even if it's quite shallow (retrieving contracts). helps put into perspective why everyone is so belligerent>fleshed out setting. levels fit right with the isles. nothing seems really out of place (even the robot feels like it followed design conventions from back in the day)>quality lively soundtrack that nails the '30s cartoon atmosphere>crispy sound effects>snappy controls and enjoyable mechanics (jumping, shot types, parry, EX attacks, etc.)>not frustrating to play. no gay fake difficulty and you've got several shot types to tune your experience. extra challenge with P-ranks but no need to fret about lives and continuesCuphead is way more than just "theatrical quality cartoon"
>>740385056Why no Cuphead clone but with 90s Disney renaissance style animation?Btw, what happened to that Disney Style clock tower borrow game?
>>740332784Stardew Valley guy.
I can't wait for Cuphead threads to be a thing again, that shit on release was great fun on /v/. Given the time it took to make the OG and the DLC, though, I wouldn't be surprised if we got anything before 2030.>>740385056This actually looks sick as hell, an extraordinarily high amount of effort. Never even heard of this before.
>>740393964>gay fake difficulty like nes metroid, castlevania, and ninja gaidenNinja Gaiden and Castlevania aren't fake difficulty, and even Metroid is designed around the limited moveset it has. Ninja Gaiden wouldn't be Ninja Gaiden without forcing you to do better and punishing you for haphazardly slashing around, and neither would Castlevania be the same game if it gave you a gun and diagonals like Contra. >enemy variety, placement, and attack patterns Achieving this under heavy limitations is what caused old games to be creative in the first place. Of course, picking the Master System is an extreme of its own, compared to a 16-bit system, GBA, PS1 or so on, but if the developers have a liking towards that specifically, let's see them try their best. The original La Mulana wasn't an MSX game, but it was done by developers that wanted it to be one, and tried to follow every limitation they could, along with trying to design it like a game of the time.
>>740383691I'm curious if it's actually a NES game
>>740393964Makings games for retro platforms is interesting for a number of reasons, it's cool to see developers work within those constraints but they also can push the hardware way more than most commercial releases ever did. I recently played Mega Man the Sequel Wars and it goes well above and beyond Capcom's work on the Wily Wars.
>>740381138i felt like cuphead did everything you could do with the concept. How do you top Saltbaker's battle?more cuphead is still sweet, but i wish they did something else thata was hand drawn
>>740335637I would argue making a game for the fucking Master System in 2026 is a unique-ish selling point (even if only 0.5% of players will actually play it there)
>>740388142A cheap capture card from Walmart is infinitely more expensive than a free filter
