Gamers: MMMMAAAANNNN, this game is so frustrating!!!

I don’t think half of it I think 99/100s of it
Yandere dev growling
Yep
@@vibing6530 xDD
the game was delayed by around 2-3 years.
we were all mad, but you gotta remember:
all the animations
FRAME BY FRAME
WERE DRAWN BY THESE GUYS
It was also because there was originally supposed to be only, like, eight bosses, but after the positive feedback from E3 2015, they decided to make it longer.
# Worththewait
Well, big part of the backgrounds were actually made in paper too
@Matti cat If you want to get technical about it, then sure, every animation by virtue of being an animation, moves frame by frame. We all know that's not what they meant. Frame-by-frame is a term for a specific style of animation, however redundant it may be. There's a difference between hand-drawn frame by frame, and using a program to motion-tween a puppet between key frames. A motion-tweened puppet saves time and money but isn't capable of the same squash and stretch techniques used in Cuphead, because the program is filling in the gap between key frames instead of there being a natural transition. Hand-drawn frame by frame allows for bigger movements and a lot more squash and stretch, and crazy transitions. This is the type of animation where smear frames are necessary. Especially with this being drawn on paper instead of on a computer, that reduces your room for error. Instead of hitting ctrl+z, you'll need to start over or open it in a program to fix the lineart, and it also means every frame needs to be scanned as well. Look at the difference between Cuphead and a mostly motion-tweened show like The Lion Guard. Every animation goes "frame by frame" but that's not what that term means when it comes to talking about an animation style.
@Matti cat not all animation
This is some Disney level animation… I’ve never seen a game put so much effort into their animation!
Disney? No I'm getting Fleischer brothers animation vibes here.
its Studio Guibli vibes
It's vibes
Nah this is older then disney
This is way before Disney. It’s really annoying that people call this type of animation “Disney animation”. It ruins the legacy that the Fleischer brothers created.
You have to appreciate how they really stuck to the 30's feel going to lengths such as using cell animation with physical drawings instead of digitally drawn ones
Hi Im Gib Right? although, they did kind of cheat a bit and fill in the colors digitally.
not saying that’s a bad thing though. I’m sure if they stuck to coloring it by hand, it would take forever. No one wants that.
@@BlindMelonLord fair enough
Definetly appriciate
And then Netflix ended up not sticking to it for the show 😢
Now I understand why the game is so hard, they wanted us to feel the pain they felt making the game
Yep
This makes sooo much sense
Lol true.its hard until u chooze "easy"
I had to find on YT how to kill the fkin ghosts
@@marcosgreg9983 are you serious? If you are stop it get some help.
@@d-class-to2of go hell I skip tutorials
i cant imagine the day that they just say “it’s done” the entire game, ready for release. that’s insane. so much work went into this game and it’s absolutely incredible.
Taiga's Tunes woah! that’s pretty neat
It was 100% worth it. I'm not even mad when I lose to the level because I get to see all the beautiful animation again.
Daniel Matotek big mood
Now they are making a sequel
Meanwhile YandereDev...
I have never played Cuphead, but I have a great amount of respect for everyone who put their blood, sweat, and tears into the game. The score is amazing, and you can see how tedious the animating process was.
I knew the game since its release too, but I’ve never played until a few months ago. Worst mistake of my life. I had to play this before, it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. And if you’re a really good gamer, it’s even funny to finish the game in expert or even in S rank. It’s really a lot of things, worth more than only 20€
Please play it! It’s a great game, it challenges you as heck. Even though it’s tough, it can be really fun.
Same
Im really far in the game and noticed patterns almost instaly
Same lol, I'm legit trying to gain enough courage to ask my parents for permission to purchase it, since you know, I can't just steal 19$ for a game 😂
This game deserves all the praise it gets and more.
Facts
Facts
Trueeee
Cuphead is the result of a developer putting too much effort into a game. You don't see that happen very often.
They got paid the money they deserve too. So, everybody is happy at the end
I don't think there's such a thing as too much effort when it comes to games.
The problem is always lack of funding
@@fernandostar3507 I wouldn't say "lack of funding" was the problem of the latest Pokémon games
@@FreeTibetFTW ok, you're right. Maybe instead of always we can say most of the time?
@@FreeTibetFTW The problem may also be because the companies are out of touch with their consumers. For example, Company makes a game, the game is shown to the consumers. The consumers don't like it's mechanics/designs/gameplay/etc. Company doesn't do anything and releases game anyway. Consumers get upset but still buy it ( Most ) because its their favorite franchise. Example would be Pokemon. I know this is a different form of media, but remember the bad sonic cgi in Sonic the hedgehog movie? The director actually responded to criticism and did the responsible thing to do and delay the movie for improvements. Definitely cost him probably millions but he listened to the consumers. I hope everyone becomes like him.
hand drawn animation is becoming such a lost art, it makes my heart so happy to see artists using such classical techniques (including the practical effects for the stop motion)
Abbie AND THE FUCKING MUSIC!
Also note that this game was made by *3 people*
Best Waifu Owo that’s amazing! (sorry for my english, I’m Italian)
@Best Waifu Owo, wait I thought that was team Cherry and hollow knight
@@Adrian-kb4rg The technique is the same if your using a Frame by Frame Animation App like Flipaclip, Caulipeg and others like it but you lose that Pencil, pen, brush technique, texture that comes with doing Animation Frame by Frame physically. You get the true statement that Doing Digital 2D Animation whether it's Frame By Frame, Flash, Pixels or a combination of all looks to clean in Digital compared to Pencil and Paper. There are many more differences I didn't even state but you get the idea.
People doesn't realize how hardcore 2D animation is, I'm glad this video makes a little of justice to it.
the game itself does that
Ok, why is nobody talking about the soundtrack and about how an INCREDIBLE job the musicians, composers and directors did to get all those jazzy, groovy tempos and harmonics and made it sound exactly like the 1920's, listening to this was just pure bliss 👌
Bravo 👏👏
Dat Person *1930’s
Hardest part of all this is actually getting the resources and the opportunity to work on this
True
Yap
Hardest part of this is actually finishing the game
@@filippob.3644 you right
And funding
Who else wants an actual Cuphead book?
That would be some dope merch
Me
We did get an art book of cuphead but sadly no offical story of cuphead
ArtistLovesTo Fangirl I do.
There is a cuphead series coming out this year or next year on netflix
Now that i’ve seen the efforts these people put into this game, i felt guilty for buying Cuphead on sale. Can’t wait to buy the DLC full price
Same.
dlc costs 9 dollars that is outrageous it should cost like 16
2:05 lmao that trumpet and the onion timing
Lol
He said AAAAAAAAAAAA-
omg why am i laughing at this
the animations look so smooth and fluid, i wish todays animation would be this smooth, you dont see this level of detail in animation unless its a Pixar movie. There might some hidden gems but its truly rare nowadays.
In Pixar movie everything is done digitally on computers, they used real models and actually draw characters....
Yeah but that would be an insane amount of work. You have to cut them some slack here.
EXCACTLY!
You should look up James baxter. Guys a beast
It's even hand-drawn and inked ON PAPER! This is taking art and animation to a whole new level!
Now I get why the game is so hard, the animators want us to see their work over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... again.
That's not far from the truth. If the game weren't that difficult, it's be over in just a few hours, but making it more difficult, it extends the playtime, just like old NES games.
@@BurnBird1 I agree, i've never played a game like this and first world took me 12 hours to finish. Now i will finish second world :D
@@thesenate8268 I 200%ed the game in 40 hours and got all the achievements and those were some of the highest quality gaming of pure fun I've had in a long time.
@@BurnBird1 and also the fact that these types of games are meant to be hard. if bosses were super easy then it wouldnt be fun. the fun of cuphead is that when you finally beat the boss youre extactic. when i finally beaten that dumb robot i threw some things in the floor with sheer happiness. now imagine that same thing with easy bosses. wouldnt be the same thing
Worth it.
You know what makes me sad? The fact that people when they die keep saying "bro this game sucks i hate it" and they don't appreciate all the hard work to make every single frame, idea, boss making.
Atm i'm stuck at the circus boss that for me is too hard but everytime i die i keep thinking of how much effort the developers put to not rage :)
Did you beat the game now?
Yeah,did you?
I won everyone on three islands except robot and bee
I got stuck at the clown, then I snapped after 2 weeks of not winning anything and gave up on gaming. The game is awesome, but too hard for me.
@@Asteroid-rp2jg
Oooo, I remember that fucking clown...
as an animator this is the most impressive game i’ve ever seen, i mean all of this was traditional animation on paper, with actual backgrounds and props made by hand, seriously it’s amazing.
I honestly have never seen a game being put in overwhelming effort, time, and work. I can’t imagine how many times those people thought about giving up over hurting wrists and the great patience needed. This is more than what your average 30s/40s cartoon needs. It also impresses me with the music, the strikingly beautiful art, and surely, the characters. This game literally pulls you into the 1900s when technology wasn’t as advanced as today. It gives you the feeling that you’re in a different world, a different time, and a different life. That’s a very rare thing you can get from video games. Cuphead truly deserves the Overwhelmingly Positive reviews. Despite it being frustrating to beat, in the end, it’s quite rewarding and memorable. I’d imagine that’s what every person who worked on this game felt as well. I absolutely can’t wait to see the DLC soon to come for a wonderful game and I hope it leaves a mark on each gamer’s experience.
I think u mean: "Never seen an INDIE game"
Becouse ALLL AAA have same or better work in all aspects
A tiger lover it really just looks like I’m watching a cartoon, like “Tom and Jerry” or something
I work in the videogames industry: you don't know how much effort goes into any videogame. Same as this, or more.
This game does something that not a lot of other games do. It doesn’t hold the players hand and lets them figure it out on their own
Too long didn't read XD srr
This is one of the most gorgeous, lethal games I've ever played.
I am with you! I play as Mugman
If I play it I would cuphead and my cus is gonna be mugman
I agree, love it as an old man that has stopped playing games for decades.
Cuphead....Absolute masterpiece.This is not a game ,its an art remembered forever.
Cuphead isnt just a game its an example of how a game should be
PREACH IT BROTHER
Even as a game, Cuphead is one of the best works of art I've ever seen due to all of the elements blending together perfectly.
I’ve never seen like 80% of these enemies because I suck at Cuphead
Steakstix Animations ME TOO
A mi me pasa lo mismo viendo este video pude conocer a los jefes que nunca habia visto.
Steakstix Animations keep trying dude hope u get there soon
@@Boba-ck6mx Thanks!
Steakstix Animations really??
I love how in the recording of floral fury they show almost every boss.... *except floral fury*
Poor Cagney, didn't even get to be shown in his own theme song
What about best girl Pirouetta?
@@sarahbunny0618 Pirouetta didn't get shown either??
You can just tell, everything about the aesthetic, music, visuals, story and developers are just perfection. They push to do amazing things and you can really tell that they put their heart and soul into the game. Which is why it’s so great.
I absolutely love how they don't talk much for the behind the scenes because they want us to truly focus on the art, music and development of the game itself rather than what they have to say about it.
Them : Hand-draws all the animations for a game.
Me ( having a phone, an animation app, and a Stylus ) : being unable to animate a walking stickman
I’m sure even James Baxter was in your situation at one point, just gotta spend time mastering your craft
Been animating some 10 years and I feel ya brah.
having digital tools doesn't make it easier lmfao
Bruh I got an animation app and I can only animate a entire piece of clay
Edit: and it sucked
I can animate a paralyzed worm.
I feel bad for who ever had to draw the knockouts for, like, any of them
Yeah espeasy baroones von bob bons
antisfoxes I can read it perfectly
@@antisfoxes ok redditor
@@antisfoxes lol why are you deleting your comment now
@@Daniel_AL what did he say?
While I understand that traditional animation is insanely hard work, it really pays off. It looks gorgeous. Breaks my heart that it's becoming a dying art. I really appreciate the Cuphead team for bringing it back in an exciting new way.
Wow. No wonder this game is so amazing. The time and energy put into this by everyone involved, made it the perfection it is.
Exactly!! It's so underrated!
Just imagine classic games like Mario, Megaman, Sonic and many others being made like this. All hand drawn! That would be amazing!
Paper Mario, maybe???
you can get a taste of that with wario land: shake it! all of its hand-animated and it looks spectacular
@Bonnie Lee
god, I wish GoodFeel could do another wario land game. They’ve already done a kirby & 2 yoshi games with the whole cardboard, yarn and wool design. Where’s wario time.
Personally for me I never liked the wario ware games, so the fact that there’s been more wario ware games compared to wario platformers is a shame. Shake it/shake dimension is such a great WL game, both musically, artistically and replayability, Probably better then WL4.
Technically the pixels are drawn frame by frame.
@@popcorntaffy The little mistakes made by human hands do so much for authenticity. Perfect lines are boring... to me the best comparison is old Family Guy to new. Regardless of the jokes, the old style just shows so much more expression in the characters. CG Family Guy makes everybody look the same... every character reuses the same few facial expressions and animations. The artistic part of animation is more or less gone
It's crazy about how detailed and smooth the animation for this game is, especially for being animated on paper
@Noyre IKR, I really hope I could be as good some day
Everyones is talking about the animation, but noone about how good the background music and programing is BRUH, the actual game has less bugs than a super company game developer, and the trumpets, sax and piano is what gives this game the "old" sense.
They went back to the roots of animation and came out with nothing synthetic. Just complete and inspiring effort that shines when you see it made and finished. I love it! :D
Seriously, did you have _any_ stock in this? Because if not then you're fricking legendary.
Speaking of legendary. Chalice 04:58 is fricking adorable.
i did spot some lazyness but for 99.83% of the game its perfect
And the DLC is almost here boyz
The fact that after they were all finished with the making of the game, porting it to consoles, and then looking back and just saying, “Yeah, let’s make some dlc!” It inspires me to no end. Keep at it, Studio MDHR, and good luck.
U gotta understand that old cartoon’s were drawn in paper .
Not that long ago... damn i feel old. The first CG cartoons didnt come out until i was a teenager
a lot still are
@filpAM bruh
These were drawn on paper first and then inked over
2d>3d. just seems there is a lot more love and 2d animation is forever beautiful while 3d will eventually look bad. look at toy story 1 and then any disney classic. most people will say the classic looks more appeasing
Wow - Came here for the making-of animation, and ended up seeing my old uni music faculty profs recording the soundtrack! These guys are great, top notch Toronto musicians.
This is just pure beauty, I love the animation style and also how old timey the whole game felt. I wish more games were like this, and most animated films
I wonder if the musicians enjoyed what they were playing as much as we love listening to it or if was just another gig yknow?
@The monster under your bed why so passive aggressive lmao
burningphoenix36 it rly just depends on the musicians themselves. But like, if you don’t enjoy playing, then why pay, you know? If you don’t like playing, then you ain’t gonna play, it’s too frustrating to do without enjoying it.
@@crestedgecko2718 Because people needs money to live so that's why they would just do it even if they don't like it. A lot of artists makea living out of commissions and they hate some of the client's requests,but they still do it because they need to put food on the table somehow.
@@lolanya00 its easier to do something tho if theyve been doing it for years. But i def see where u coming from.
@The monster under your bed most musicians are made out of the love of music, so i dont see many of them becoming one out of the pay since its low, so most will be the former
2:56 The scrapped intro of the 2nd phase of The Devil
@Isabella Krautstrunk Weird, the version i have has that transition when you go into phase 2
Wait you mean the one where he drops into the hole as the skeleton? It is in my game
@@John-qd5sh pretty sure he means the animation after the skeleton. Where the devil has his hands held out before filling the screen with his head
He has his hands held out. (Not in game.)
The bat animation in his eye that goes through his ear (In game)
Bruh imagine the pain of animating that just for it not to be used
Anyone here after the DLC rediscovering their love for cuphead and the lengths studio MDHR went to to make this awesome game
The backgrounds of Cuphead are one of my favorite things about the game. Great job!
1:01
I NEED THIS BOOK
69 Likes ;)
No shots of the trombone player during their solo?
I was outraged too! I was yelling for a shot of that the whole time. That player fucking nailed it
I think they may have gotten someone high profile in after the fact to track it, and either didn't record video of it, or didn't get permission to publish from the musician. Alternatively, the video editor isn't a musician and just likes to make us mad ahaha.
THANK YOU
It’s tru ;-;
I kinda feel like we’re underrated, we be keeping the band together ya know?
Even if you aren't a Cuphead fan, you really need to appreciate the effort put in for this
Its quite amazing that the bosses were all done by drawings and sculptures

Pure masterpiece!
have you seen flying gorrilla
Indeed
Wow. So many "masterpieces" this day...TLOU,RDR 2(but this is truly a masterpiece), cuphead, uncharted, battlefield 1. ..
Ryan Dunning that is a true masterpiece of a game
This makes me appreciate the game even more! What a masterpiece
As a game Dev, this must've been absolute hell to make
You gotta appreciate how hard they worked on this. This was literally drawn FRAME BY FRAME.
Actually, I never thought of that until now
Truly a masterpiece to be remembered through all ages for time to come. Gameplay, art style and animation, music, feel, atmosphere, and the mounds of rage with friends just to beat the level next round and feel super accomplished. I hope history remembers this game in all its beauty.
And people still demand the dlc when they see all off this blood sweat and tears being put into this masterpiece.
It’s so awesome to see how much effort developers put into making games for our entertainment.
when i want developers to take their time making games, i want it to turn out like cuphead not like y*ndere simulator...
@3 CreamyCats sorry to break it to you, but yandere simulator isnt even close to being finished and its not a good game in every aspect. this isnt my opinion, it's literally everyone's opinion online
Cuphead is one of my most favorite games. Lots of people put lots of effort, talent, and creativity making such a nice game of battling
Ugh back to the beautiful frame by frame animation on paper and all, love it
I only hand draw and seeing this makes me want to draw something, even something simple. Honestly I always wanted this game but now I just want it even more. I'll get it as soon as possible.
Man this soundtrack and the game are such a masterpiece
OMG I love the songs and the animations
Words cannot express how happy I am cuphead succeeded! The hard work and dedication alone that went into this hope project is incredible to see especially as an aspiring artist myself.
Let’s just do a rehearsal.

This is possibly the last bit of media that required animation cels.
@@herr_crustovsky it did use cells for inking, but not for painting.
@@herr_crustovsky it looks like they outlined the frames digitally though?

Waiting for the new dlc i love the hard work they put in this game to make it so unique at least for me this is one of the best games of this gen console without a doubt.
I dont care how much we have to wait till the dlc drops to anyone because i know they are trying to make perfection.
2:56 So that's what happens while the camera is going underground on the Devil boss fight!
It feels odd listening to the music without the game soundeffects
We even get to see them work on delicious last course, im prepared to wait aslong as possible ^^
I feel bad I didn’t appreciate all the hard work that was put into this game the first time I played it!
These guys literally worked so hard on this game!
Me too!
the amount of hardwork these people put making this video game is really respectable ,that's why this game is a masterpiece , the characters , the bosses and their stupid and funny acts with a twist of hard difficulty makes this game really fun to play
Who ever came up with the idea for cuphead had an incredible vision for what they wanted.
What i love is tjat thr characters bounce in a very rythmical way. Gives them a life a lot of game characters dont have.
Yeah, not just standing there lifeless.
Never knew the animation was hand drawn, no wonder it looks so authentic!
CoolDudeClem, Wow... you never noticed that?
2:56 the devil with a straight face is the funniest thing ive seen because he looks so derpy doing it

I like how they incorporated traditional ways of animation into modern techniques .. even a single visual takes weeks to complete.. cuphead is truly a master class of its own

7 Dislikes from people who just don't like super quality animation that oozes sweat, tears, sleepless nights, wrecked nerves and blood. My god this is so satisfying to watch all the drawed frames. My eyes drip honey every time I see animation this good 8'D
Or 7 dislikes from people who thought it was too hard and that the developers should have done it easier...

This honestly is my favorite art style out of any game created

I have a lot more respect for cuphead now because now i am seeing all the hard work put into it☺️
THE SONG IS FLORAL FURY
Why do i exist.
I can't wait for the DLC, this game is such a fresh air in the platforming genre
This game has a soul in it, not only does it capture the vibe of 30s animation but it delivers an experience on par with the best games ever. Kudos to you.
It is just amazing how much effort has been put to this game 10/10
