[DaCocoBrova]

Well... I guess I can kiss my dreams of Ikari Warriors reincarnate 'goodbye'...

 

[Lemurnator]

Looks like ass.

 

[Slo]

Metal Slug should NOT be in 3D.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Good lord does this game look like shit. When I pictured a 3D Metal Slug I pictured something like Dolphin Blue (3D polygons on a 2D plane)....not something like this.

I guess MS4 is no longer the worst in the series...

 

[nultse]

Ouch! I really hope this looks better in motion than in those pictures.

 

[drohne]

oh dear.

...well, i suppose it might help us appreciate metal slugs 4 and 5?

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Looks cool to me. Similar to Advance Wars GC. Hopefully they find the way to keep the same gameplay from the 2D versions.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Looks cool to me. Similar to Advance Wars GC.

So fitting, and so, so sad...

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Maybe the insane animation will save it...

 

[belgurdo]

Looks fine to me. Then again, to the series' "fans" it'll look like "shit" no matter how polished it is

 

[Wario64]

Sigh

Metal Slug series is now dead

 

[ravingloon]

Holy, crap! This was my thought exactly when I saw the article about it being in development. Those screens are heresy.

 

[Funky Papa]

What a disgrace to the Metal Slug name

 

[seismologist]

Holy crud it actually looks pretty acurate. I'd pay $20 for that

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

So fitting, and so, so sad...

Well, I´ve heard many good things about AW GC and I´m not one to judge a game from a couple of screens, so I still think it could turn out to be a good game.

GAFers have spoken, this game will now "suck" unless it gets higher than 9.4 on IGN/GS

 

[jarrod]

It's actually being made by some of the same team as MS4. :/

SNK (Nazca team still, brought inhouse)

Mega Enterprise (Korean firm)
-Metal Slug 4 (co-developed)
-Metal Slug 3D

Noise Factory (former SNK staff)
-Metal Slug 4 (co-developed)
-Metal Slug 5
-Metal Slug Advance
-Metal Slug 6

Digital Bridges (I've no idea)
-Metal Slug Mobile

 

[Bob White]

What the fuck is wrong with this week?! It feels fucking spaceworld!!

No online in GT4.
3D fucking Metal Slug.

What's next?! Sammy vs. Capcom cancelled?



FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

 

[enjoy bell woods]

It looks like Maximo.

 

[DSN2K]

 

[doncale]

ouch. nasty.

I suppose this will turn most gamers OFF from wanting a highend 3D NeoGeo system

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Seperated at Birth?????????





Edit: for those who don't know..the top screen is Metal Slug 3d, the bottom screen is Advance Wars: Under Fire

 

[RiZ III]

Who cares what it looks like. If they can get the gameplay to be as crazy and frantic as the 2d version, its all good.

 

[snapty00]

Seperated at Birth?????????

Too bad nobody ever told them that the birthing shit from their mom is a bad thing to wear casually.

 

[Gantz]

Who cares what it looks like. If they can get the gameplay to be as crazy and frantic as the 2d version, its all good.

I WANT THE WHOLE PACKAGE DAMMIT!

 

[dark10x]

What the f*ck? That is HORRIBLE looking.

 

[snapty00]

Would anybody have even guessed that could even be related to Metal Slug if we hadn't been told?

 

[jarrod]

Would anybody have even guessed that could even be related to Metal Slug if we hadn't been told?

Yep... I recognize Marco.

They should've had Noise Factory develop it, they did a pretty good job with KOF MI. Mega needs to die...

 

[Hellraizah]

It's Metal Slug in 3D....
It looks like shit....
The site says it's a one-player game....

That about wraps it up....

 

[nitewulf]

is this a MMORPG as well?

 

[segasonic]

OMG first Shenmue Online ingame shots and now this


worst day ever

 

[DCX]

sucks ass!

DCX

 

[Bob White]

One player?!?!

Good God.

I mean, COME ON! What are they thinking!

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

It looks kind of average. It definitely needs two player action. Some of the graphics look like shit, but if they clean it up, and make it a FAST and FUN game, I don't see why anyone wouldn't like it.

I'll reserve "metal slug 3d is tha devil!!1" remarks until I actually PLAY it - haters who judge on a few screens be damned.

 

[MarkMacD]

It looked horrible in motion as well; very sparse (only one or two enemies on screen at once, spartan flat enivornments)

 

[evil ways]

GAFers have spoken, this game will now "suck" unless it gets higher than 9.4 on IGN/GS

There we go, now that we got that out of the way.......

It might be alright if they do sort of a fast paced, shoot 'em up Maximo style game.

 

[olimario]

It would be nice to have a talented dev recreate the Metal Slug art in 3D.
I'll bet level 5 could do it. They did a good job with Toriyama's art.

 

[chespace]

i died a little on the inside yesterday when i saw this game on the show floor.

it looks and moves like total shit.

ugh.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

Wow those textures are bringing back N64-induced flashbacks. Yuk.

 

[heavy liquid]

This looks fucking awful. I wish I had never seen it. One player? And look at the "grass" for crying out loud!

 

[Gattsu25]

Would anybody have even guessed that could even be related to Advanced Wars if we hadn't been told?

I know

 

[Pachinko]

*rimshot joke follows, take necessary precautions

I didnt' know they still made new games for N64


Shame on you SNK, why would they show this to people ? This is a joke or something right? SNK's way of saying 3D is bad becuase whoever they used to make this game is so bad at using it properly.. ?

Maybe it's a reallly extremly early build like less then 20% complete, if so they could still salvage it a bit...

 

[Dragona Akehi]

For the record, I refuse to acknowledge that filth as being part of the WARS series.

 

[jooey]

ugly? check
totally useless radar (with even more useless compass)? check
trying to look like a CARTOON COME 2 LIFE? check
blob flames? checkaroo

well it's good to see they're not taking crazy risks with the 3d action genre!...

 

[MoxManiac]

Fucking Playmore.

 

[Gattsu25]

For the record, I refuse to acknowledge that filth as being part of the WARS series.

Agreed
This and the new Wars game are both WTF worthy...though this does look like a lot less effort went into it

 

[nitewulf]

alright, you got games like gradius v tearing up shit, and they had to go on and 3d-ize this. fuck this shit. what, its gonna sell 20 more copies cause its 3d?
give me a break. fuck.

 

[snapty00]

Will probably sell less, cost more to make, and give a bad impression to what few newbies to the series there are.
