ITT games ruined by criticism before release >people complain

Oh it's just gonna be shitty boss fights. Pass.

Hasn't this game been in production since the late 70s? Who the fuck even cares anymore?

>>381744172
It's still not out yet and you're already criticizing the platforming stages

>>381744467
30s actually

There's been footage of the platforming stages for awhile now. The latest E3 build shows no changes.

...This was originally only going to be a game involving bosses...are you serious? That sounds like complete shit. I always thought it looked cool, as in the art style, but holy shit thank god they made it a game.

>>381744172
>Game has a bunch of bosses
>Game now has all the bosses but now more levels and extra content
You're complaining why exactly?

>>381744172

>games that shouldn't be criticized yet because nobody played it

>>381744653

Oh, now I see why. That looks..awful! Those gun sounds are absolutely terrible on top of that.

>>381744653
Why even bother making platforming stages if you aren't going to try?

>There are people ITT that would prefer shitty filler in order to make the game more "videogamey" instead of focusing on polishing the parts the developers wanted to make good.
>There are people ITT who want derivative garbage.
>There are people ITT who want focus-group tested garbage.
>There are people ITT who want publishers to have a reason to force developers to do their bidding
>These same people probably think having a "timer" for the entire game is a bad thing, despite Majora's Mask and Pikmin being some of the greatest games ever made.
I hate all of you.

>>381744653
>Floating platforms
>Enemies/obstacles that make no sense contextually in the game.
>Levels are shallow and derivative to begin with.
Quantity over Quality fags are the absolute worst.

>>381744765
Because it's bad content and is basically just filler, I hope they have a boss rush mode in the game to bypass all the boring run and gun shit

>>381744653
desu this game would be golden if it played like castlecrashers with bossfights at the end of intense levels instead of having them as individual stages

>>381745341
no

>>381744937
im joking about the OP saying "games ruined by criticism before release" then proceeding to criticize a game that isn't even released, you stupid bkub poster.
Besides, EVERYONE knows Pikmin 1 > 2

But upon further inspection, the gameplay in >>381744653 is an insult to humanity.

>>381744912
To please people. I wonder if the development into the levels took away time from boss design. I don't see what is wrong with a boss rush game, especially if there are plenty of fun bosses to fight.

>>381745603
Furi was boss rush, and it was one of the best games of last year.


Majority of people are fucking retarded and would rather spend 50 hours of repeating the same 5 mechanics ad infinitum over 6-10 hours of gameplay that is constantly changing.

>>381744650
Damn... 80 years down the shitter.

So people aren't allowed to criticize stuff that's not released yet?
And developers aren't responsible for the decisions they make, with or without outside input?

>>381744172
I want to give people money and say "I really like your animation"
That's LITERALLY all I'm getting it for.

The rest of the game will probably be okay

>>381745814
Modern gamers want "value" for their dollar and that equates to more hours per the dollar to complete the game their first time while not repeating content through game overs and being sent to the start of the game like older games. It is why there are many superfluous achievements like collecting items that are there only to tick off the achievement and raise the percentage of the game complete number.

>>381746049
So videogames suck now because gamers are manchildren who value time spent on entertainment over actually gaining anything from that entertainment or that entertainment being high quality?

epic

>>381744653
Those boss animations are absolutely lovely. And there seems to be a bit of a difficulty curve, which is nice.

But the shooting would definitely get repetitive fast. It needs some sort of variation.

>>381746620
Yes. With tons of games being released daily, people want objective measurements for their monetary value.

>>381744653

Man the pea shooter has to be one of the worst weapons I have ever seen, there is no weight to it and it is so lifeless.

>>381744172
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite thanks to a Neofagger who thought it would have been a good idea to spread random chaos out of nowhere.

>>381746049
So don't put in shitty platforming levels and make the game cheaper? It's not like designing and implementing these levels was free.

>>381744653
I don't see the point of adding platforming levels if they're not linked to boss fights. The game still looks like a brainless boss rush, and the platforming levels are just filler.
The art is outstanding tho

>>381744301
Did you even read the OP?

>>381744653
This looks really boring

>>381744172

Here. Have a game that was ruined by its publishers before release, practically given next to no promotion and its reviewer literally played the first two levels only.

>>381744937

The timer in Pikmin isn't relevant unless you are 8 or have downs syndrome.

Love the animation and style of it.

But in terms of gameplay it looks like every jumpy-shooty game I've ever played and I've played ones that seem better than this...

>>381744653
I really hope these are just early levels. I'd hate to see the work that went into the animation wasted because of boring gameplay.

I don't give a shit, I'm still buying it day one.

>>381744653
And this is why graphics fags are cancer

This sounds exactly what happened to Penumbra series after Overture.
Its fucking sad thats what it is,devs need to grow a backbone and stick to what they want.

I never really got the hype for Cuphead. It's like the epitome of focusing on the wrong fucking aspects of a game. So much work has gone into the animation and yet the gameplay has always looked like dull shit, even before the platforming levels were announced. Just make a cartoon at this point shitheads.

>>381753405

The first 1/4 of Black Plague was the highlight of the series though

>>381744172
>wasted potential: the game

>>381753585

because there are literally 1000s of 2d platformers that look like garbage with lazy artstyles.

>>381753674
They had something unique going on and they changed it because IGN told them to.

>>381744653
Well this happened.
All expectations down the drain,all style with no game to speak off.
And I was looking forward to it.

>>381753980
And? That doesn't mean we needed yet another horrible uninspired action platformer but with a nice art style. Why did Cuphead need to be a game if they weren't going to bother making it a good one?

>>381744653
Remove the shooting and it might be a bit funner

>>381753980
>Majority of platformers are garbage with no substance
>I know, I'll make a platformer that's garbage with no substance, but it'll LOOK pretty, because I spent millions of dollars making it, make it go through development hell, and because I'm totally a smart business person!
nice

>>381754223
Better yet, remove the gameplay altogether, throw in some voice acting or caption slides, and put it on the Disney channel.

This game will be forgotten in a week

>>381744653
I really like the artstyle apart from the cancerous chromatic aberrations
But this game looks seriously dull.

>>381746620
>now
This has been an issue since the mid-90s, you autist

>>381744653
The game's music is godly. Love big band.

>>381744653
holy fuck this looks bad

>>381746049
>not repeating content through game overs and being sent to the start of the game like older games
I see no problem with this, desu. Just don't get hit and do not die.

>>381744653
What a waste of a godly aesthetic on a mediocre run and gun.

Should be a beat em up.

>>381749921
Exactly! The extra cartoony style is perfect for a beat 'em up platforming. Think Guacamelee.

>>381744653

I'd say play Wario Land Shake if you want a better version of an animated game.

Cuphead's problem is that it's well not reactive you just shoot weak beams bosses with no real feedback. When cartoons have exaggerated actions and reactions.

>>381744653
I'd play it for the big band soundtrack.

>>381744653
The boss fights look fun, but I can see a few problems that are a bit of a turn off:
>Constant shooting, annoying "pew" sounds which I hope aren't meant to represent a flickery effect
>No music variation between platforming levels, I'm guessing it only changes between worlds/areas (but it is really good music)
>No reward for defeating bosses (from what was shown), this can make it feel less rewarding
>Overworld feels like it could be improved on, not sure how
>Easy platforming stages + gunning emphasis + (potentially) difficult bosses = Redundant premise, as in it doesn't seem like it has a proper direction with the gameplay, just classical throwbacks.
If the platforming levels weren't linear, like having multiple paths, collectables that actually lead to special stages and including platforming gimmicks on each stage to make them special instead of the filler it looks like, the gameplay and entire purpose of using classic visuals would at least be clearly defined.

Really digging the art style, but sadly don't own an xbone. I hope all of you who do own an xbone enjoy it thoroughly!

>>381757348
We'll never get another Wario Land game, will we?

>>381757348
Wario Land Shake It was pretty to look at, but it was incredibly boring to play. I can hardly imagine Cuphead being less boring and difficulty since it's entirely based on Contra like shooting.

High quality hand drawn games don't survive. You need to be shitty polygon crap with horrible animation on a 2D plane to make money.

RIP Wonder Boy remake
RIP Banner Saga
RIP Cuphead

Skullgirls sorta made it and I think Hallowknight is doing sorta well.
