For 6 (!) months :OYou are cursed ahaha.
Wut? Difficult platformers are awesome >Too bad for people with only PS4. Cuphead looks amazing, though I'm a bit worried about the talk about it being so difficult. I kinda suck at 2D platformers ...

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Cuphead looks so amazing

NO way I'm buying an Xbone, so I hope these won't be too demanding specs-wise. The boyfriend just bought a portable, so let's hope it will be able to run those games. I followed Ashen since it was revealed, and it looks really good (cuphead too but the genre doesn't really suits me)
There is this beautiful Darks Souls-with-a-mouse game too, that is PC bound that I want to play, so I'll borrow an xbox controller when it's released.

Really want to see more of Ashen. The concept seems pretty cool, but ambitious and I'm curious if they pull it off. Already hyped for Cuphead.

Sonys bed is full of activision no room at this time it's full of destiny content and cod maps.
Cuphead looks great I can't wait to play it.

I believe 2016 is too far away and the wait may hurt the game impact. Since it was already show last E3, I was hoping I could play it soon. Looks amazing.

I don't think Ori took any negative impact this past year unless I'm mistaken...
Nope

Ori is already released. We are at least half a year or more from Cuphead release. People attention could move to other games, or some other dev could attempt something similar.

Going to be the first game I'm going to get on PC this gen, I hope it gets a physical release(but I guess that's unlikely).

Can't really complain to MS either way. Good job for them, shame for me as I really want to play Cuphead. Might play it on PC if that's the case, even though I'm not a fan of playing there.

Any extra gameplay footage of Ashen? Looks cool.

Can you really call this game a platformer? It's a series of boss fights, VERY difficult boss fight from what I've heard. Probably more action orientated, I hope.
Anyone disappointed it's not a side scrolling platformer?
Btw there were games mentioned at Xbox press event that were for windows 10, does that mean they were windows 10 exclusive? Really don't want to part from windows 7.

Well Microsoft is further committing itself to X1 and the PC with moves like this. Plus a developer having to spend less time porting across more platforms means more valuable development focused on the the ones that are having it as exclusive. Win/Win for X1 and PC owners.

Good on Microsoft for helping the devs out. Cuphead is one of the games I'm looking forward to most.

Nothing weird about it. Cuphead is a hardcore bullet-hell game, and despite it looking amazing, doesn't have much appeal. Ashen just looks mediocre. My point was that neither of these games are going to do anything for Microsoft as exclusives.
Great. Buying on PC then.
Why shame? These "exclusives" are still available on PC, just like some of PS4's. I don't mind them as long as I still have an option of PC.
They list Steam.

My meaning is that the point I think you were trying to convey could probably have been applied to Ori last year as it was shown pretty early and was also delayed, if I'm not mistaken, but it seemed to turn out all right. It, too, was Xbox/PC only. Just a thought...

Nah. "Console exclusive" means PC too usually. Most people know that already.
That's the terminology these days
"Console exclusive" means it's exclusive to said console, but is available on other non-console devices as well.
It's annoying as hell. I have no idea what these people get from doing this over and over. We get it, you dislike X / Y / Z brand/company, nobody gives a shit.

Also if you believed my post was 100% serious, I dunno what to say

Cuphead looks amazing. I've loved it ever since it was shown off at last years E3 and was really hoping for a timed exclusive announcement. Its a great get for Microsoft.
Shame that I probably wont get a chance to play it unless I happen to buy an Xbox in the future.

Cuphead is not a SHMUP.
Cuphead is more a run and gun with a focus on boss battles in the vein of Contra: Hard Corps

I think it's great that Microsoft is starting to give gamers a choice, Xbox or PC.

Are you serious? After the success of Ori and all the buzz surrounding it, I can definitely see Microsoft going after more of these unique games.
