      Jason Udosen what about red dead redemption1 and 2, what about Grand Theft auto games? What about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Most AAA games are better than indies because they have a better budget, more employees, and while a lot of them may be money hungry, What would you expect? They are a multi million dollar corporation, running there studios, paying off ALL their employees and making Millions dollar games, There are few indie games that have dedication and most unfortunately go unoticed, I LOVE indie games(my favorite being Hollow Knight) so I know how you feel, but most AAA’s are better.
      Edit: most of these games are critically acclaimed or even globally. Most indies are praised but very few, AAA games set the pathway for indies obviously.

    I always felt bad for getting the game Cracked on my old barely running PC, so just before I finished the first world, I stopped because I knew in my inner self that this is wrong and is disrespectful for the game developers who gave everything they wanted to make this game, at the time I didn't have money to buy it and that PC died, and I only had a PS4, so i couldn't play it, I was crushed
    But however i didn't surrender, here am I, around 2 years later filled with incredibly hard job, with a Nintendo Switch, and Cuphead! I dig this game daily - currently almost at the third world

    Great short doc! I freaking love Cup Head. Thanks to the dev's passion, we have retro gamers have another run & gun classic next to Gunstar Heroes and Contra.
    It's their first game and they nailed out of the park, that's a remarkable feat.

    Can we just appreciate the music for a second, don’t get me wrong the graphics are astounding. But music in a game is what a lot of people take for granted, if you listen to it trying to nitpick things out. It’s really an experience

      @joseluissantillanbravo77 7 років тому +68

      I kinda like the idea of a sequel since i love the game as much as anyone else, but i also feel it would water down its uniqueness. Once sequels come out people start assuming, comparing, demanding and it just stops feeling like art. At least that's what i feel would happen. People would be like "Cuphead 2 sucks, the first one was better" "Why is there no this or that feature", and so on. I would be interested if a sequel was announced, but i wouldn't mind if Cuphead was just one of a kind. It has a shit ton of re playability anyways.

    Cuphead was a very easy game to pull people in because everyone grew up on Disney 2-D animation and the charm is always heartwarming to people. What made them stay was the difficulty to beat the game and it payed off so well💪🏻❤️

    When I first saw Cuphead I couldn't believe it was actually a game, fell in love immediately with the animation. But when I heard the music, OMG, I almost lost my mind with happiness, went to heaven, then to hell and back... what a crazy soundtrack.... I don't even have the game, but just watching a walkthrough is so damn entertaining.

    Only thing I can add: The two brothers are right, some NES games make Cuphead look like a breeze. Silver Surfer, Fester's Quest (without turbo), Battletoads to name a few. Even the first Contra is a doozy without the konami code.
