E3 2015: Don't Count on Playing Cuphead on the PS4

Gunstar zeroes

You win some, you lose some. And Sony has definitely missed out when it comes to Cuphead, the intriguing 1930s cartoon-inspired run-'n'-gun shooter from Canadian outfit Studio MDHR. You may have spotted during Microsoft's press conference that this was listed as a console exclusive for the Xbox One – and the Redmond firm has reiterated that point.

Speaking on an official stream watched by Game Reactor, the platform holder clarified that both it and Ashen – the slightly less exciting survival game – will never come to another console. They will both release on the PC, though, so you can certainly still play them there if you wish. Just, er, cross the PlayStation 4 off your list.

The art style is certainly the best feature from my perspective but the game play doesn't appeal and seems quite generic for its genre. I doubt I will play it - unless like a lot of 'indie' games it ends up on GwG...

That's dissapointing to hear, but at least I have an xbox, so I can play it.

This and Below are the two XB1 games that interest me the most, shame we'll not get them on PS4. Maybe on PS5, a la Meatboy.
