That's fine with me Mircosoft. I have a PC so I don't need an Xbox for either games.
Cuphead looks amazing~

 

[Papercuts]

I am buying cuphead the moment I can.

 

[graffix13]

Cuphead looks amazing.

 

[Dr. Buni]

How so?

What if they couldn't get the game done as envisioned without signing a contract?


...you know what, I'm tired of discussing all this funding stuff here. It's hopeless.

Ok... Not sure why you quoted my post if you are tired of discussing the subject. I stand by my statement, anyways.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Cannot wait to play Cuphead. Really digging the art style.

 

[Pop]

Cuphead looking way more fun than No Man's Sky IMO.

So similar right

Even in a xbox thread this still gets brought up. Amazing

Why would say this?

 

[FordGTGuy]

Pc it is

Why do people feel the need to post this?

Apples to Orangutans

Both look absolutely phenomenal, as well as Ashen.

 

[rager]

No big to deal to me. Cuphead is available on PC, I have no desire to buy an xbox one.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

I'm really loving the fact that all these "Exclusive" games from Microsoft and Sony are also available on PC. It makes sure I don't miss out on any of these fantastic games.

 

[RoKKeR]

Both of these games looked fantastic. Can't wait. Digging the Journey vibe of Ashen.

 

[The Flash]

Cuphead devs said MS was helping them with the game during the Xbox conference. That should've been a clear sign right there.

 

[Extra Sauce]

But... I don't have an Xbox One. There must be a mistake.

 

[FordGTGuy]

I have no desire to buy an xbox one.

That's nice....

 

[Ricky_R]

Both games look great. MS scored nocely there.

Yeah, I learned its an unwinnable argument a while ago.

Consoles get exclusives = "This is bad"
Consoles get multiplat = "These consoles are just identical"

 

[AgentP]

I have a PC and XB1, but never heard of either game. Is this another case of minor indies game's importance getting exaggerated over console wars?

 

[Shanlei91]

I don't understand how you jumped to this comparison. They both look great.

"My exclusive looks better than your exclusive!"

I personally thought Cuphead looked better than everything else shown at E3.

Have you even seen Cuphead?

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Will play Ashen on PC
Wish I could play Cupheads

 

[ohlawd]

sounds good to me

Cuphead's style is a straight shot at my childhood. looking forward to more news.

 

[SolidusDave]

Awww man, of course it had to be Cuphead. I was hoping it would come to PS4.
Never say never when it comes to MS exclusivity, but that's a pretty clear statement :/

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Two completely different games

Certainly you can do the research and post an actual opinion/thought about the games lol...

 

[Bjomesphat]

Cuphead and NMS are both console exclusives, by indie devs, with support from the console makers, and both coming to PC. How do you not get the comparison? They're both huge games for their respective consoles.

 

[2 Slice Toaster]

Seriously, wake me up when they have some major indie exclusives.

 

[dugdug]

Sony's helped out indie devs with games that have ended up on XB1. I'm guessing MS have some IP ownership here.

Except, so far, we've seen no signs that NMS won't eventually make its way to XB1

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I will play Cuphead, but not Ashen.

What platform?

Who cares?

 

[Goodacre0081]

I wouldn't be surprised if 'lifetime' means 'until its stopped selling'.

possibly like a Bastion situation. Super Giant released a PS4 version long after it launched on 360. so look for CupHead on PS5

 

[Chill Penguin]

I really love how so many "exclusives" are also on PC. It's really great for me even though I have everything I prefer PC when I can. Consoles still have exclusive exclusives like Halo and Uncharted so and often time timed exclusivity on things that might come to PC eventually (like FF Type-0 HD).

Both Sony and MS don't really view PC as competition. I'm sure they've done their market research to make sure they don't cannibalize their own console sales. At the end of the day there's very little overlap outside hardcore gaming forums like this. I think you'll continue to see Microsoft published games on PC.

Because it's kumbaya bullshit.

Because it completely glosses over how funding, risk, and development costs are shared between platform holders with resources, and developers with projects that are being pitched. All for a glossy, starry-eyed view of the world that isn't realistic, possible, or even desirable with a minimum understanding of the risks and rewards involved in working on a multiyear project in any industry, nevermind videogames.

I say congrats to Microsoft and the devs involved in working through, agreeing upon, and being given the time and budget to deliver what they wanted.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Cuphead on PC it is.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Gonna get both on PC. Cuphead for sure, not entirely sold on Ashen.

 

[Hero Prinny]

Good grab on cupheads, thank god its still coming to pc, really want to play that game, wouldve been a shame to miss out on it

 

[TWrecks310]

If I ever decide to get an Xbox One, I will immediately buy Cuphead.

I can't get over how good the artsyle looks, even though admittedly that look used to scare me as a kid.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Sony's helped out indie devs with games that have ended up on XB1. I'm guessing MS have some IP ownership here.

I remember someone from Sony (I think it was Adam Boyes) saying that when they help an indie with development, they only ask for timed exclusivity. I think it was when he said "exclusivity doesn't benefit anyone".

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Why do people feel the need to post this?

to spite MS

funny considering SFV,Shenmue 3, and FF7

It sounded more like Sony's relationship with Bloodborne to me i.e. it's a PS4 exclusive because they helped make the game.

 

[Afrocious]

If this wasn't coming out on PC, I'd definitely feel awful about not owning a Bone.

 

[papercan55]

cuphead is the only game i'd love to play on xbox, would never buy a console just for that though and i own a mac.... :-(

 

[ChosenPredator]

yeah the dev of Ashen said microsoft help them out alot as well.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Didn't see that coming.

 

[entremet]

to spite MS

But PCs use Windows?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Why do people feel the need to post this?

Maybe cause they're happy they can still play the game? Why does it bother you when they say that?

 

[Neiteio]

Oh, didn't see the bit in the OP that said Cuphead is coming to PC. Nice.

 

[outunderthestars]

Happy that I own all three consoles, but exclusivity sucks for those who don't.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Less excited about Cuphead now that I know it's just a series of boss battles, but still want to check it out. Weird to me that it's still not out until 2016.

 

[Primethius]

Both are such fantastic looking titles, I'm probably going to end up day 1'ing them both.

The artstyle for Cuphead is just fantastic.

 

[Solaire of Astora]

No! It's a case of awesome looking games getting deserved hype.

What comparison is this?
