Its from July 6th. But i believe it isnt posted yet. Its boss battles, tutorial and some boss selection.

Love this with the tutorial.

BrokenFiction · Jul 13, 2017

This game continues to be the most creative thing I've seen in forever. Good grief.

Jennings · Jul 13, 2017

Love the art style. LOVE THE MUSIC. I grew up with re-airings of those types of cartoons (they were a little ahead of my time), and would love to play a game this style.

The gameplay itself still has me on the fence though. At the moment it looks too simple or straight-forward for my tastes, but I'm sure more is yet to come.

I want to love this game.

Steiner · Jul 13, 2017

Today's Clueless Gamer also has Conan playing Cuphead with Kate Upton. She's a little dull and it's not as funny as most Clueless Gamers, but it's still good to see the game in the spotlight.

Edit: just saw that thread. I guess I'm late to the party.

Quonny · Jul 13, 2017

Man, does that art look so good. Like god DAMN is that impressive.

But the gameplay itself looks kinda...boring.

EvB · Jul 13, 2017

This looks so amazing, but I can't help shake the feeling it's not a genre I want to play

BrokenFiction · Jul 13, 2017

I want to screenshot every level of this game, print it out, and hang it as art.

Yohane · Jul 13, 2017

Looks incredible!

Liliana Eileen · Jul 13, 2017

Looks fantastic!

I don't think the people playing are making the game justice. They really, REALLY suck. Which is why they stand around shooting like dumbasses and keep dying all the time

Have you played any previous builds? I have, it's hard as balls.

Stop being rude.

CrunchyFrog · Jul 13, 2017

The game LOOKS fantastic as usual. I was really hoping they'd redo that sound design though, that parry slap and the power attacks just sound super cheap with no heft at all. Also worried they've shown little to nothing of the platforming sections. I have this terrible fear that they've overscoped on this project.

Sorry but i'm not being rude when i'm stating that staying in the same place shooting (and dying when the boss is obviously going to target your row but you're still not moving) is not a great example of skill

JonnyKong · Jul 13, 2017

Game looks absolutely on point, but man I hope they don't make it too hard and alienate average skilled players like myself

This is just a collection of footage scrubbed from other Youtube channels. All of the gameplay here is from a demo we showed off over a year ago and it still had all of the placeholder sound effects at that time. All the sounds have been redone since then.

The decision to hand-animate everything on ones is their biggest scope problem.

WadeitOut · Jul 13, 2017

Even the overworld is fantastic. I still remember watching the old Disney/WB cartoons as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s.

SomTervo · Jul 13, 2017

Had no interest in this game until these videos.

Wow.

nkarafo · Jul 13, 2017

Those playing cards next to the HP meters remind me of World of Illusion.

Reminds me of Commander Keen, i love it as well
And the shop has a Wonderboy feel

Skinny Pete · Jul 13, 2017

What a fantastic looking game.

onemanasylum · Jul 13, 2017

This looks cool...bud sadly don't think it is my type of game.

zelas · Jul 13, 2017

Still looks great. Cant wait.

shandy706 · Jul 13, 2017

Can't wait to try this game out. Love the artwork.

tkscz · Jul 13, 2017

Definitely picking this up on the PC.

Bits N Pieces · Jul 13, 2017

It just looks incredible. Cannot wait for release, day one!

Ricky_R · Jul 13, 2017

The attention to detail here seems staggering. Looks great.

The only thing I noticed that seems a bit weird is that enemies don't react to getting shot at. They highlight, but there's no animation showing they're getting hit. I assuming they did so for a reason though.

noomi · Jul 13, 2017

Avoiding any gameplay from now on, we are too close to release. I already know the game will be amazing, and I wan't to save everything for the playthrough.

September, right?

Just looks like the game is oozing with Sega inspiration all over the place. The pig shop is clearly a nod to Wonder Boy.

September 29th.

Yeah, the lead designer is a massive fan of the Sega Master System. There are dozens of nods to classic Master System games all over Cuphead.

LordOcidax · Jul 13, 2017

Artstyle looks really good, but is starting to have the feeling that this game is not going to meet the hype.

LordBaztion · Jul 13, 2017

that looks very good, I'm in

Betty · Jul 13, 2017

Gameplay seems a little average, but it's artistry can't be denied.

This. Visuals are great, the style everything, but doesn't seem fun to me. Let's see how it goes though.

HylianTom · Jul 13, 2017

I'm here for it.

And I need to hear more of that soundtrack.

shuraiya · Jul 13, 2017

The presentation looks good, but the game looks boring.

Ultimadrago · Jul 13, 2017

That's the first I've seen of the Tutorial.

I'm so ready for this!

The Abominable Snowman · Jul 13, 2017

This game looks so good to me. Every level I see excites me more and more. One of the most exciting games this year, definitely!

metsallica · Jul 13, 2017

Absolutely in love. Hope it's not as insanely difficult as it once was, as I'd love to play it with my SO.

And wow, do I have the urge to drop the $100 on that iam8bit vinyl... https://store.iam8bit.com/products/cuphead-4xlp-deluxe-vinyl-soundtrack

Teeth, do you guys have other merch planned?

Was going to post that I don't even care if I'm having fun playing this, just the presentation makes it a must buy for me. And it feels like I've been waiting for this forever!

jett · Jul 13, 2017

Animation is great but I'm not sure about the gameplay. I think the sound effects are a big part of feeling iffy about the gameplay. I understand they really want to stick to that 30's aesthetics but man some things are better left behind. The sound design makes everything seem weak and tinny.

FalsettoVibe · Jul 13, 2017

Looks good.

Rien · Jul 13, 2017

Amazing

Christocolus · Jul 13, 2017

Damn..This game looks amazing. Great job Studio MDHR....Day one.

CyberPunked · Jul 13, 2017

This game's visuals are so on point, it's crazy good.

DemWalls · Jul 13, 2017

I'd gladly pay 60 bucks just for the presentation. Who cares if the gameplay will be nothing groundbreaking.

Suburban Thug · Jul 13, 2017

Art looks great, gameplay looks terrible. Can't believe the best thing they could come up with was a finger gun.

People who like good games. I dunno how Cuphead will turn out but gameplay>graphics every time

inki · Jul 13, 2017

It looks amazing but very repetitive and honestly, a bit boring. I know it's no longer just boss battles but unfortunately I'm not a shmup fan so this doesn't look like it's for me. Maybe as we get closer to release and I learn more about it, it'll have something for me.

VlaudTheImpaler · Jul 13, 2017

This is going to be something special.

It's going to end up one of those must have classics.

For me, it means even more because I have been craving games with a retro style.

I absolutely love what I've seen so far and I can't wait to play it!

I'm curious, just so I know where you are coming from (because we get this a bit from people who haven't played the game) - have you ever played Contra or Gunstar Heroes? And if you have, did you find them boring?

It's a totally valid perspective to have, I'm just trying to see the angle you're coming from.
