Are they redesigning the whole damn game?
It went from a Boss shooter with platforming elements, to a platformer with shooting elements. Lol

I bet they let some XBox brass play it and they told em it was too effin' hard for mass appeal. I mean seriously those videos I've watched look like this game it meant to break Elite Controllers playing it.
I fully realize hardcore gamer experiences are slim these days and there would be nothing wrong for them to have a mode to challenge those seeking. I believe I heard there wasn't many options in difficulty at one point.

Lol forgot about Below. Didn't they basically announce that was no longer happening?
We told you BELOW would be out this summer. Our team worked hard to make that deadline a reality. But after a strong push, we’ve decided it isn’t ready.
We did a lot of soul searching. We knew we wanted to get it into your hands as soon as possible. We knew the game was there, and we’re super proud of it, but we also knew it needed more time to make sure it lives up to our studio’s standards, and the quality that you expect from our games. From the very beginning, BELOW has been our most ambitious undertaking, and we’re just not quite done excavating its depths, or polishing all of its facets.
Instead of giving you a new, loose release window, we will be going dark while we take the time that we need to complete BELOW without compromise. The next time you see a major BELOW update, that means our game has a firm release date, which we’ll share.
Making games is hard but rewarding work. Accepting, even after this long development, that the game needs more time is difficult, but it’s important that we are honest with ourselves as creators, and with you, the players.
We’re sorry we let you down with yet another delay. But in the end, we need to make certain that the hard work we’ve put into this game turns into something you’ll love, and to us that unfortunately means keepingBELOW in the oven a while longer, until it truly is ready.
Thanks for the continued support, and see you on the other side.
I really don't care that it got delayed honestly. It would have been perfect during the slow Summer months but now? I already put off ReCore and Horizon 3 to focus on Gears 4. Nevermind all the multiplats. Cuphead will have it's run.
Below and Cuphead..... there's two games which were pitched to gamers way ahead of it's time. I think each game was shown 3 years ago and both are 2017 releases at the earliest.
Probably typical PR stunts where the devs worked their asses off to show off 1% of the game at high polish, but the other 99% of the game wasn't even done.

safe to assume MS will drop support for this now and it will just release without the id@xbox fanfare next year. be quite surprised if MS show this again in any sizzle reels for X1.
Yeah that's always been the case for me. Cuphead looked like it could be great but maybe to rigorous for me.
Well, wasn't it like a really small team of 2 brothers making the game? The game was near complete, per their vision. Microsoft promoted the crap out of the game.
The next part should be read like a Drunk History episode:
Next Microsoft said you know what? Now that we are behind it 100%, this game needs platforming levels. Brothers B Like, "Okaaay?, it will be a while for us to do that, as our whole game is just bosses." Micro$oft said: " we're the only bosses here. Take this cash!", flinging 100 dollar bills at the brothers and making it rain on them.
In short, the game will be done when two guys can essentially build a game on top of the other game they already made. Microsoft will completely re-promote said game if it's actually good... because MS.
