what a stupid thing to say.
Unlike Messenger, this looks like a more regular platforming game with a great artstyle. I found the Messenger to be a bit dull and the metroidvania level design not that good.

Yacht Club Games to announce publishing of a title at PAX East (Cyber Shadow?)

And this looks like it will fill the new-school The Messenger hole that exists right now
Fair enough, but after having spent 20 hours or so completing The Messenger I'm really not interested in playing a game that looks so similar. Unless there's a twist I doubt I'd be as in as I hoped.
This looks great, can't wait.
Also is it weird that when any prominent indie dev that announces a new game, I start wondering: "When is the announcement that Epic paid for exclusivity?"

Alright, this really scratches my Messenger itch. I dig the aesthetic of the cyberspace
Could be that, and that would be cool, but not as cool as having another Ninja game from YC!
The silhouette totally looks like the Cyber Shadow Ninja.
Man, I just marathoned Contra 1 - Shattered Soldier and I'm getting super hard Contra/Ninja Gaiden vibes. I'd of liked to feel more Shinobi but damn I'm not gonna complain!
And since it's a diff dev maybe there's a chance it'll be more challenging than SK.
On the bottom vid here, the robot on the billboard even looks like one of the "Probotector" robots!

Showdown is the smash like title I'm guessing but what is King of Cards ?
Shovel Knight is intentionally pretty much as easy or as hard as you want it to be. They just built in a ton of optional crutches in the upgrades/gear. Mega man 11 also did this.
If you want a Ninja Gaiden-like that's hard off the bat give Oniken a try. Their other games Odallus (Castlevania-like) is also good and Blazing Chrome (basically Conitra) looks very promising
They're publishing? Nice! That means they're making money, we get this probably-cool game, & there's still hope they're making a Paper Mario-like game (Or whatever else; they weren't married to whatever genre won that survey, I just really want more Paper Mario).
This is like saying Nioh just released and already filled the 3d samurai action game hole, so Sekiro or Ghosts of Tsushima look generic? When an aesthetic theme or style or genre falls out of fashion and returns you always see like, a cluster of those games pop up at the same time, it's true for anything (Prey, Deus Ex, SS3 for example
As a Ninja Gaiden fan, I loved it. But it wasn't really like Ninja Gaiden outside of having a ninja.
Yep. That campaign and the Smash-like Showdown game are the last pieces of what was promised in the original Kickstarter. They were supposed to come out next month but were delayed for some more polishing. No specific release date now, but the delay is supposed to be "several months at most."
I didn't know Showdown was part of the Kickstarter too... Will it be a free donwload like the previous DLC then ?
You can't put a Patlabor outdoor in your game like that and not allow me to fight/pilot any.
Yep, free for all backers / people who own Treasure Trove.
They don't look similar at all other than being 2D and having ninjas. It won't to particularly hard to be a better action game than The Messenger anyway.
Honestly, I find the NES look of 'Cyber Shadow' much more compelling that the 16 bits looks of a great part of 'The Messenger'.
NES graphics will be always more compelling for me than SNES graphics.
Plus it's not a matter of games supplanting other games.
Because we had 'Dragon Quest', can't we also have 'Final Fantasy' in the 80s?
Does 'Super Mario Bros' denies the existence of the first 'Sonic the Hedgehog'?
In the market there is enough space for good designed games to coexist, covering the same genres.
I never understood the mentality of video game forums, of using a game to deny the existence of other games.
We have 'Devil May Cry' and we have 'Bayonetta', and that is great.
