Is it playable at E3?

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Will get on Steam, YES!

 

[Permanently A]

this gif just sent me on a long ass tangent discovering christian churches in india and mixtape jokes

 

[Lux R7]

I hope in a gog release

 

[mcmmaster]

So excited this game finally has a release date, the art, animation and music stuns me every single time.

 

[Social]

Good price!

 

[Kashiwaba]

Why is this isn't on ps4? Dammit this looks interesting.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Just gonna leave this here

I really hope those levels were worth it.

I like the idea of a boss rush game.

 

[Yohane]

Pricing is on point 👌

 

[tkscz]

The fact that it's Co-op means a buy for me. Glad it's coming to PC.

 

[Nikokuno]

In

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

I've been waiting for this game FOR YEARS

however the $20 price tag (great because I'm cheap) has me worried this game won't be longer than 30 minutes

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Hey, you know what? I totally get that point of view, it's cool.

But what if I could tempt you with a DRM free version on GoG? You could burn it to a disc and play it forever, license free!

OK this went from wait and see to day 1 for me.

 

[Lazaro]

Also coming to Linux and Mac although not immediately from what I understand.

But this a definitely a title I would get via XPA but a gog version is also tempting.

 

[ChoppedandScrewed]

Don't really care about it from a gameplay perspective, but will buy just to see the art.

This. I'm honestly not even expecting a good game, but the art is breathtaking. And I don't usually care about graphics that much.

 

[Apt101]

Cool, it feels like it's been in development for a long time - maybe they just previewed it earlier than most do.

Anyway, looks like the game to play / watch a stream of while stoned.

 

[Kei-]

If I own this through on Win10 store for the play anywhere functionality, am I able to play co-op with steam owners as well?

 

[eerik9000]

MS games can still come to Steam? Fuck yes

Cuphead is not a Microsoft game.

 

[Link_enfant]

I need a Switch port.

 

[Frostburn]

Glad to have a date, I'll pick this up on Steam/Win10 as long as the version doesn't have any glaring issues.

 

[thenexus6]

So this is no longer a boss rush game? I am interested now. Looks awesome.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

For as long as it's been in development, I thought it was an AAA title and would be priced accordingly.

Interesting

 

[Reineldinho]

Is there any sort of 'easy mode' so I can play it with my wife? Online co-op?

 

[PantsuJo]

Steam link for non-believers:

Nice, ready for Steam

 

[Always-honest]

I really want this game

 

[gfxtwin]

It's mostly animating everything on "ones", which means there's a uniquely drawn frame for all 24fps of animation. Pretty much all Other animation is done on "twos" or "threes" to reduce the work load. Additionally, every frame is hand drawn and inked to maintain a sufficient level of roughness that gets polished out of modern animation.

You also have to do ridiculous stuff like animating every single frame of a rotating object, rather than relying on a single frame and rotating it in engine.

For the actual characters, we mimic the "rubber hose" look of the era, which is all the noodley arms and legs. The characters also generally bounce to an unheard beat instead of standing still.

Hand painting the backgrounds helps too.

Definitely mentioned some stuff I wasn't aware of. Thanks for putting in so much work to make a game that looks unlike any other, and perfectly captures the feel of the old popeye and disney cartoons I grew up on as a small child (that freaked me the hell out sometimes tbh). You guys are peers among the animators of those old timey cartoons as far as I'm concerned, and went above and beyond what I ever would've expected for a game with this visual style. Digging what I've seen of the the Contra-esque gameplay as well! Can't wait to play it in Sept.

 

[Zyae]

so it looks like they took it from a boss fighting game to a full platformer? Looks fantastic.

 

[Drey1082]

My opinion that this is an ultimate wait and see game. It most definitely could be amazing, but to pre-order based on what we've seen so far, I don't know.

 

[Falchion]

Can't fucking wait for this to finally come out. I'll be getting it at launch for sure.

 

[Phatcorns]

Count me the fuck in. Been waiting for this and so happy it's finally coming out!

 

[PSFan]

Didn't know this would be on Steam. Definitely buying day one.

 

[PandaShake]

I can't imagine how hard it must be to develop this game. Can't wait for steam!

 

[friskykillface]

I played cuphead at sdcc 2015, it's been a long time coming

Was always a fan of the boss rush concept, could have added levels later or as an expansion but eh

 

[GetLucky]

So GAF, I'm not very tech savvy but I'd love to play this game. Would it run on a Surface Pro 3? And is there an easy way to hook up a Switch Pro Controller? Thanks!

 

[Got]

I'd like some 4k desktop backgrounds. the art is too good

 

[cakely]

Steam? Wow. I was expecting this to be a Windows 10 store exclusive.

Also, $20 bucks is a great price, I'll be picking this up on the Xbox One come September.

 

[Fuu]

In for the Steam version. Really curious about how this one will turn out. Nice price too.

 

[Damaniel]

In on day one - I'd even buy it on Steam right this minute if I had the option.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Teeth, I was just talking to my friend about how crazy it is that this game is only $20. I don't know the full length, but knowing the animation process and seeing the content from past videos, it already looked like a title I would have been more than willing to pay more for.

Usually the case is that I see a smaller studio's game, I think it looks like a neat concept worth pursuing and the price tag potentially takes me back a bit (usually $40 or more). Obviously, some have proven this caution more incorrect than others. So why and how only $20?

 

[Grim Patron]

I hope 2 girls stream this on twitch and call it 2 girls 1 cuphead

 

[TheKeyPit]

Preordered it.

Cuphead |OT| Mugman - To Beat The Devil

 

[Psychoward]

Glad it's coming to Steam, I'll get it there especially since it doesn't have hard requirements. The art is fucking amazing

 

[TheKeyPit]

This and Ori. We need more games like these.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Everything about this looks amazing but there is one thing that worries me, the jump looks weird, I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something about it that seems kind of imprecise

 

[MilkyJoe]

Really cheap...

 

[Wamb0wneD]

I need a Switch port.

THat's some low quality bait.

I hope 2 girls stream this on twitch and call it 2 girls 1 cuphead

Lmao

 

[wondermega]

Cuphead |OT| Don't Deal With Microsoft

 

[Plague Doctor]

Steam? At launch? I am so in and psyched!

 

[Reversed]

IMO they should go aggressively with all the merchandising possibilities since the game looks aesthetically cool.

I'd buy a couple shirts of it.

 

[Blindy]

Day one and getting it for the XB1. Will be juggling this and Danganronpa 3 all in the same week, good mix.

Will there be online co op or strictly local?
