Don’t shame

Neat gimmick, could see this going somewhere novel

The art direction is on point and that goes a really long way. Hard to gauge how the gameplay feels from watching a video (though it looked a little basic and clunky?). If they deliver a good story and nail the humour this style calls for this could end up a surprise hit.

The 1 minute long trailer had me bored by 30 seconds in. I like the art style but they have a long way to go with so few assets and such little variety in death animations. It has to be a huge variety of assets and animations if their whole project is based on the art style.

So what was Cuphead? I know, I know, it’s not an FPS, but it could use the exact same title format and nothing would be different.

This game is only using an art style. There’s literally no way this would cause any IP lawsuits even if it released today, unless you’re actually playing as Steamboat Willy and the whistling tune plays somewhere in the game. Which, to my knowledge, isn’t the case.

It’s an interesting art style to give an FPS, but that’s about all this is.

Edit: holy shit I just realized: this is an entire game based on GMod Nextbots. You’re just shooting at animated PNGs that shoot back. Holy fuck.

Cuphead will now be renamed to whatever the cup from Beauty and the Beast was called.

Thanks! Couldn’t be bothered to look it up :)

Looks like bendy

On one hand, I love the aesthetic and have been saying we need more games with cartoon vibes and physics.

On the other, I can’t say I’m digging the monochrome color scheme. The first full color cartoon came only 2 years after Steamboat Willie. Most classic Disney cartoons other than that first one were in color.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this “viral” marketing campaign(?). Like why is everyone jumping into this bandwagon when Cuphead had literally the same art style (except in color) and came out years ago?

Edit: holy shit I just realized: this is an entire game based on GMod Nextbots. You’re just shooting at animated PNGs that shoot back. Holy fuck.

So like Doom.

Shit looks dope af, kinda a mix of Doom/Blood and Cuphead. Definitely gonna buy it :)

EatYouWell@lemmy.world on 15 Dec 2023 00:27 collapse

It definitely gives off Bioshock vibes too.

Yeah, now that you say it. Sadly we must wait till 2025…

The style is called Rubber Hose, for anyone wondering if there is a name for this style.
