![]() The reason was plain and simple, it appeared to be a playable max Fleischer cartoon set in a boss rush mode format, and it had people dying to play it. ![]() But it was Cuphead that caught everybody off guard from the montage. 9 (back when people still cared for it), Superhot, Rivals of Aether and Inside. You saw some notable titles like Mighty No. As I said earlier, Microsoft had a sizzle reel of all these indie games that were planned to arrive on the XBOX One. So as many of us remember Cuphead’s reveal, it was a rather unceremonious disclose for a game that had quite a distinct artstyle that hasn’t really been done in video games before. How both updated interested customers (Cuphead): Footage from the 2014 sizzle reel that never made it to the final game. There’s also some differences between the two games’ development cycles and cross promotions each game has in other titles that came/are coming out before Cuphead and FP2. Though let me make it clear that this comparison is between a pretty mainstream indie hit in Cuphead and a sequel to a cult indie hit that will likely develop a niche audience when it releases. I’m going to go in depth to compare the similarities I’ve noticed with Freedom Planet 2 and Cuphead’s too soon reveals as well as how both developers have updated their games before their release. Now since we’re in 2018, I’m still waiting for a full release of the sequel to one of my favorite indie games. Its called Freedom Planet 2, a sequel to the Kickstarter funded Freedom Planet that maintains the original’s sense of speed, 2D platforming and focus on combat that was revealed in 2015. There is another indie game that was revealed way back in 2015, but I’m dreading it has a similar Cuphead problem of being revealed way too soon. ![]() Yes this game finally came out last year, but it made for a very painful wait for those who were incredibly eager about it. It grabbed everyone by surprise for basically looking like a playable 1930’s cartoon. One game that was often ridiculed for possibly never coming out was Cuphead, which was revealed in an indie sizzle reel at Microsoft’s 2014 E3 conference. It forces an interested customer to wait for years for the final product or giving them doubts about the game coming out at all. It’s a problem because these games tend to be announced way ahead of they’re development schedule and are in a work in progress. Kingdom Hearts 3 is an example where it got announced 5 years ago, but it is expected to release this year (we’ll see). Normally this is when the publisher and/or the developer makes an announcement for an upcoming game, whether it’s a new IP or a new entry in a series, and the game comes out 3-5 years after its initial reveal. The most striking detail are certain rocks that are shaped like the body part of a dragon, specifically the one seen at the end of the stage, where the Proto Pincer fight takes place.A recurring problem with video games is that certain games tend to be revealed or announced way too early. Another difference is there are wooden structures that resemble ranger stations, likely built by Avalicians. As the player progresses, the background slowly changes, showing the sun rising, marking the dawn of a new day and a new adventure. The difference is the setting, in which the event of the stage takes place at night, with Avalice's celestial moon and planetary ring both shown in the background. Much like its predecessor, this version of Dragon Valley is a mountainous valley covered in a dense forest, and found within the Valley Region of Avalice. Upon noticing the rampaging robots in Dragon Valley, she puts her mission on hold and springs into action. The Royal Magister sends Lady Neera to recruit Team Lilac to help in defending Shang Tu from the recent robot attacks. Upon witnessing the Proto Pincer cutting down several trees in Dragon Valley, Milla goes after the robot to stop it from deforesting the area. The rest of the story plays similar to Lilac's version above. Later on, both Lilac and Carol witness the destruction of their treehouse in sheer horror by an unknown robot, as Carol suggested to go to Milla's laboratory as a temporary place to stay until their home is rebuilt.Īfter seeing Lilac go after the Proto Pincer, Carol takes it upon herself to take it down before her best friend does, going after it in the process and leaving the treehouse unprotected. Upon seeing Carol chasing after it by herself, she instantly grows concern for her best friend and charges a Dragon Boost to go after both of them. As dawn approaches the Valley Region, Lilac pursues the Proto Pincer as it crashes through the various trees of Dragon Valley. ![]()
