With Halo and Call of Duty continuing to dominate the world of video games, a new vintage game by Studio MDHR looks set to be their biggest competitor. Cuphead was previewed at the E3 expo last week with a view to launching later in 2014.
Visually stunning, the game is redolent of 1930's style imagery and film effects, including a blotted screen with faded light grains.
Using the same style as early animation, Cuphead is also set to be released on the Sega Master System - the former competitor of Nintendo - with a box, cartridge and game manual, mimicking the older release style of 1980's video games .
