I'm really hoping that those are just early, early screenshots but shit...WHY ARE THE SPRITES SCALED. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE.
-
goddamn that does look like shit. I too hope its early stuff.
-
Looks just as bad as the upcoming Contra game.
-
Needs to be released on the wii instead.
-
Wow thats really ugly, the crappy sprites dont fit in the horrible background.

Oh right! you mean thats not just a poor quality picture?
I thought at first it was just some low res pic but clearly its not, what a pile of garbage - after Metal slug advance though i've lost faith in Mordens forces and the perigrins.
Mslug anthology for psp worth it if I already have the first 3 and X?
-
good lord....im going to ignore this. *sigh* Im sorry SNK but this is a disgrace....

contra > ninja spirit > metal slug

I could be wrong... but I THINK this game is in 3D.
What I mean is, those stages look like they're on a 3D track that can tilt at angles during cutscenes, similar to the way the sprites in Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX) rescale when you zoom in/out and pan/rotate.
This could be one of those games that get 3D-style cutscenes, even if the game backgrounds/sprites are in 2D.
I would probably wait until there's a gameplay video, rather than trusting these screenshots.

I really think it is worth it...all 7(including X) metal slug games on 1 game...
-
Wow thats really ugly, the crappy sprites dont fit in the horrible background.
...plus the background doesn't fit the background! Seriously it is quit gritty and looks like it might have been possibly scaled to. I hope this is early stuff and may Jorge be right! Otherwise I'm not getting close to this game. ) :
-
It does look like those sprite are that due to them being able to zoom in a scale to fit the situation, like zoom WAY out to fight a huge boss.
And looking at the backgrounds I agree that they look like they are 3d rendered instead of scrolling sprites. which means there might be huge epic 2-screen boss battles with your guy miniscule in comparison.
if not then ...wow...
-
The backgrounds arent 3D. Its the same as Metal Slug 6 which used these "realistic" backgrounds rather than the stuff used before. MS6 also had scaling like this but it was only for 2 boss fights, not entire levels like this..
EDIT:WOW FIRST THE SPRITES, NOW 1UP SAYS NO CO-OP...SCREW THIS.
-
The backgrounds look like they could be decent in motion, but the sprites are pretty awful. I can't imagine why they wouldn't choose to re-draw the sprites for this when they look this poor scaled down.

How does the new Contra look bad? o.o
-
This looks nice (I saw a gameplay video and trailer on Gamespot), except:
1. Redraw or resize the sprites
2. Only Marco and Fio. WTF.
3. No Co-Op? Bullshit.
I'm always glad to see Contra 4 get some heavy competition.

I was never too fussed about Eri - Fio was always Hornier anyways.
-
looks aren't every thing
-
All I can say is that I'm glad I have the M3 so I don't have to pay for this.
