I Can't Believe It's Not Cuphead isn't cancelled after all. September 6th
I'm not really sure how this is legal
Name one thing Cuphead did that they have a trademark on? If anything Cuphead was just coping another art style already
So if I made a 2D platformer called Super Marty-O Bros about 2 Sicilian electricians saving the Fungal Empire, that's okay?
Yes you moron. I don't think you will sell a lot, but you can make it.
Then why did Nintendo sue the creators of the Super Gianna Sisters?
Nintendo sues everyone. They don't care, they have lawyers on retainer and they know small companies can't fight back. This is what disney does all the time. You might win if you go to court, but it is better to just give up before you are stuck in legal fees.
So it's not okay and there is legal precedent for the Cuphead creators to sue? Got it.
moron
Cope, shill.
Keep seething. Welcome to reality where everyone copies everyone else. The trick is to make a copy good enough that people don't care that its a copy
>implying your Cuphead knockoff is better
lol
lmao even
Stick to pirating Nintendo knockoffs, Chang.
To sue over an art style that existed decades before they were born?
That's an urban legend.
Then what about Capcom suing Data East for Fighter's History? The legal precedent still exists.
Great Giana Sisters. And it was more than just a plot rip-off anon.
Nintendo are fricking idiots and sue-happy. there are many games that were inspired by one another and does not mean to be a 1;1 clone. Imagine if gaming companies were still like that back in the day. Indies would be dead.
it's literally just a platformer lmao
did ninty seriously sue over this?
The DS version is just a platformer but the original is a very blatant Mario clone.
because PETA absolutely fricking deserves to be sued into oblivion
Sure, mariana bros might get you in trouble but marty-o bros is probably fine unless you're actually in japan where Nintendo has the government by the balls
The entirety of Asia and India have churned out crap like that endlessly.
This. I can't remember how many times I've seen a Mario knockoff while browsing through a game section of a store in any cities chinatown I visit
You are an actual moron kek
Cuphead was literally a ripoff of old cartoons AND a ripoff of Contra. Someone making something similar is just good for the gander
Yeah Beethoven's going to sue for them stealing his likeness
Where?
No I'm not
If this was illegal it would be difficult to make any type of video game without getting sued.
>1929: Disney launches its 'Silly Symphony' cartoons to wide acclaim.
>Soon after, competitors launch the Swing Symphony, Happy Harmonies, Merrie Melodies, and Looney Tunes brands of cartoons, among others.
This is the style that Cuphead used as inspiration. From a historical standpoint, the 'clone' is just as important as the original product, in some ways even more so.
Frick off, this crap didn't copy 20s style, it copied Cuphead's style, and gameplay, and silhouettes, it's not like Overwatch, it's like that tf2 clone with the firefighter.
lmao, so that's what Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes come from. Really made me think
Disney did it in reverse too
For sure.
Las month I watched 1982 Aladdin anime movie and Disney just ripped off most of its aesthetics and characters
Visual arts are all about ripping off others shit. Something something good create, great steal. My only issue is that Disney are basically ones responsible for moronic copyright system.
you didnt watch kimba. its completely different from the lion king.
This shit's been debunked for years.
You don't even watch old anime, Zoomer.
When its traditionally animate3d its not too bad, but there's just an air of cheapness to it, like when its clearly done with puppets/rigging, and the sound design is weak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0QvkorLPPc
with all those missing sound effects, i would've assumed it was an alpha build you'd find on a steam next fest but if that footage is the final game, that's disgraceful.
this is like one of those "I RECREATED CUPHEAD IN UNITY IN 48 HOURS" games
People were making shitty doom clones decades ago and it was fine, hell imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Why is it suddenly not okay to do it now? Especially with how Cuphead devs taking 6 years to make a single dlc.
REDDIT is going to LOVE IT!
Ok, well in that case Mobius' estate should sue Studio Ghibli.
Having No shame takes you places
since when does cuphead own rubberhose animation
Its just zoomer gays who are experiencing it for the first time and feel they need to defend it like its only ever been for them. They don't realize that shit is literally 100 years old
That shit looks like they just modded cuphead, even the same poses.
the artstyle wasn't new when cuphead used it.
bringing that artstyle to video games WAS new.
this game using cuphead's art style and, judging from the screenshot, cuphead's same genre and gameplay is pretty hackish.
if the game is good it's good, i don't think they're necessarily encroaching on people who wanted to play cuphead but now they'll play this instead, but it does feel like they stole someone else's idea and made their own knockoff. not very sovl if you ask me.
>bringing that artstyle to video games WAS new
We had Steamboat Willie games, there was Peawiener from Skullgirls, hell there was even Bendy and the Ink Machine out long before Cuphead became a thing. Its not new to use that style in video games
Steamboat willie does not attempt to be faithful and is pixel art anyways. Peawiener is smei-close but she's also a single character. You don't encompass an artstyle with 1% of your games assets.
?t=224
The Run N Gun ripoffs are just a straight line lol
WOW that sounds design is ass
since literally half of the boss stuff doesn't make any noise I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it isn't done
for a failed Kickstarter it does look okay visually even if it doesn't hold a candle to cuphead
that easy mode looks beyond braindead
it's on the uninspired side, but the MCs look good it's a good idea to give them plenty of context animations

Seriously
This shit looks depressing
This is what happens when your peers are incapable of telling you to step up, they showed it to their friends and no one dared to tell them that is a terrible copy.
Even after the backlash they never changed a thing.
On a technical level it's more than passable. Issue here comes from not understanding the medium. There is no point in making pretty sprites and walkcycles if things are not interacting with each other. There is no point in making halfscreen bosses if they do not engage a player. There is no point in making silly sound effects if they are not adding to the fun of the game.
People who made it would benefit a frickton from proper tutelage and possibly even make a good game. As of now they seems to not understand videogames at all and struggle with a lot of animation basics.
These 'rip-off' discussions really expose the autisitcs and low-IQs that can't identify intent. There's a difference between being 'inspired' and blatantly copying. No-one is saying Cuphead invented the '30s cartoon aesthetic, but this game is clearly trying to ride off its coattails. It's the same with the Genshin shit - the duplicitous chinks can act innocent all they want, but they were blatantly emulating Zelda's presentation (never mind the paraglider, open-world, and plinky-plonky piano music every fricking game suddenly had after BotW).
This reminds me of the PS All-Stars debacle. The issue wasn't that Nintendo 'invented' the mascot brawler genre; the issue was that Sony obviously wanted that sweet Smash money, and lazily copied Nintendo without understanding why Smash was as successful as it was.
Bonus points for Playstation Allstars having the marketing force of a wet turd, since Playstation has simply never had the brand and mascot recognition on an individual software level that Nintendo (Smash by extension) has. Closest thing Playstation had to a "Mario" was Crash Bandicoot for a very long time and Crash was already dead by the time of PSA
I don't think anybody in his right mind is denying that it's directly taking after Cuphead, just that it's somehow doing so illegally.
Soulless
Cuphead did it right because it actually abided by both the animation methods and design sensibilities used by that era.
>i like thing
>someone else makes a thing like the thing i like
>therefore i am angry
morons
who cares as long as it's good
if it sucks don't play it
if it's good now there's more of a thing you already like
this is so simple
it's kinda ass but i wish it was good so I'd have more of a thing I already liked
I wish to express this in the only engaged thread about this topic because I am bored
