Holding out for Minnie pr0n...
wtf
Don’t shame
The style is called Rubber Hose, for anyone wondering if there is a name for this style.
Shit looks dope af, kinda a mix of Doom/Blood and Cuphead. Definitely gonna buy it :)
It definitely gives off Bioshock vibes too.
Yeah, now that you say it. Sadly we must wait till 2025...
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.
Neat gimmick, could see this going somewhere novel
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
