It's alright, I can wait. I want the game to be as good as possible.

take as long as they need, I want this game to be as good as it can - and it's not like we don't have a flood of great releases coming before then.

Wow wtf is going on with this game. Looks greta but every delay has my excitement toned down. This is why games, indie games especially, shouldn't be announced until they are within the year of their release. Just as an overall wish for the community.
Really excited for this game. Hope they improve or remove the platforming levels as right now they look significantly less fun than the boss battles.
we've known this for a while
game development takes time? The game was significantly smaller in scope so they announced it with that in mind, but then they got funding from MS
it's not really that hard to understand

Honestly, I'm bummed. But if it makes the game not suck or be a void (like a certain procedural...) I'm fine with it. I've got enough to keep me busy for a long, long, long time.

Was my understanding. They must be taking the feedback seriously.

I hope this game does well enough to get a physical release like Ori.

Was this a kickstarter thing?
It was originally a boss rush game and then they said they got enough of a budget that they're adding real stages, but its still 70% boss fights.

Can't pretend I'm not a little disappointed, but I'd rather they took as much time as they need and the game is as good as possible.

MS helped fund it so they could add platforming levels
I'm confused.
The original vision was less want it? They discussed making more than a rush mode game and it's been awhile now.
I feel like this game has been delayed 2-3 years.
The art direction is awesome. I wonder if they have been trying to build game play around that style. Have to have substance with all that style.

They need time to remove the filler shite.

Its very hard to understand. Dont announce something until its close to being ready, you just annoy people when this happens. Duke Nukem, Last Guardian, etc. Next comment, this isn't Last Guardian.......

Sadly that was also delayed this year.

Devs did say the next time you hear will be with a definite release date.
Dev: *Shows trailer*
Internet: OMG Steamboat Willie Megaman gimmie!
Dev: Actually it's a boss rush shmup
Internet :Boo hiss!
Dev: Fuck!
here:
no it really isn't, only if you're being intentionally obtuse, game development is a messy thing and quality stuff takes time. Also, like i said, the game was smaller in scope but they got outside funding, messing up their release schedule.

Every game I want for Q3/4 other than Dishonored is gone.
This fucking year. This will be excellent when it does come out though.

remember when this was revealed at E3 2014 and it said "coming in 2015!"
remember when they showed it at E3 2015 and said "Coming 2016!"
remember when its October and said "Coming 2017!"
also remember when fuckin' idiots asked for platforming so they added a bunch of boring ass platforming sections so the game can delayed even further
good job, everybody invovled

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I understand that making games takes time, but I would guess that most people are already waaaaay past caring at this point. It still looks cool, but I haven't been excited about Cuphead since 2014. It's a good example of revealing a game way too soon.

MS funded the project.
They are taking their time making sure the filler is well made.
Things change. Nobody was too enthused about this game just being a boss rush game.

Still hyped for it. Still day one. There's enough shit releasing every week for people who own multiple platforms so its all good.

Played a demo at SDCC last year, and I'm still hyped for it.

I was totally okay with it being a boss rush game. Now, I'm worried that the platforming sections may be tedious, so I'm fine with the delay if it means they can improve those. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I was just wondering about this game yesterday and tried looking into any release information. I'm glad some news is out, but it truly has become a sort of "Did Cuphead drop yet?!" situation.
Not that that means I'm any less excited for it, now to mid 2017's got more than enough already.

The platforming stage they revealed was kinda lame. Its a shame the game is being held up for that reason.
They should have released it as originally intended. Save more ambitious ideas for the next title.
It obvious by how much painstaking work they put into the original idea, that the platforming levels are going to be tacked on without the same scope or ambition.
I bet all this extra work on the platforming levels would have only equaled one or two extra boss fights had they concentrated on that, but that would have been worth it at least.

Disappointed to see a few people ragging on the game here, they are a small studio trying to do something very different and the process is very time consuming.
Take as long as you need and put out a game your proud of.
