Is the run and gun genre completely dead?

Bump

Literally came here to post this.

There was this game called Cuphead, but it's popular so I guess it sucks.

Isn't cuphead poor's man and Zoomers' Contra?

Patience.

These games used to take 8 months to make back in the day but now every indie retro game takes 4 years. Why the fuck?

>large corporate studio with funding
>vs 2 students in their basement working on games in their free time inbetween their daily wage slave job
That's why.

Cuphead is not a run and gun and its few run and gun stages are garbage.

What game is this?

>Every indie game is just 2 students in their spare time

Nope.

LOL Cuphead's run and gun stages were half-assed afterthoughts thrown together at the last minute because when the game was first announced as being a collection of boss fights and nothing else the response was mixed so they churned those out and said "SEE WE HAVE LEVELS THAT AREN'T BOSSES LOOK!".

Still a run and gun game, still popular, still a good game.
Tranny cope posts are getting embarrassing desu trying to undermine a game just because it was made by 2 white males.

it's just not the same without an irl m8 sitting next to you for couch coop

I don't think I can enjoy these days in current year

By "thrown together at the last minute" you of course are talking about how the game was delayed an entire year to add said stages, correct?

On that note there's also this coming out soon:

Most are, and even when they have more staff members they're still lagging behind in terms of workforce, resources and experience compared to an actual dev time from the 90s.
