Someone posted this at Assembler. Be afriad... be very afraid. It's a dark day for sprite-loving gamers.

I've seen those screenshots many times before - i think the game kept getting delayed for quite some time. Those graphics look like shite. They remind me of the first Maximo. I kinda hope this one doesn't get released a little...

No. Oh god nooooo! WTF is SNK's problem. Why would they wanna ruin one of their greatest series' ever by jumping on the 3D bangwagon? They can go to hell with this shit. Those screens look absolutely horrible.

Ah, I saw this on a thread on a general gaming forum I visit a while back.

I don't think it looks shit just because it's a polygon Metal Slug, mind.

I think it looks shit because -- well, it just looks fucking shit :shock:

Exactly what I was thinking myself. At least there's Metal Slug 6...

SNK needs to get there act together there is an audience for their 2-D stuff(Metal slug 3 4 5 sold well)but there screwing it all up with stuff like this and Maximum Impact all they need to do is target a small audience and stop wasting time with untraditional stuff stick with what there good at and they should have future success. But there stabbing themselves instead. :x

They need to just go ahead and start a new 2D franchise. We've got enough good Metal Slug games at this point.

The only saving grace this game has at the moment is that it isn't raping 10 year old sprites...

Judging by the response here and elsewhere, Metal Slug fans certainly aren't going to buy this game. Leaving the question- who is? Everybody else already has 3D shooting franchises they like; they're not going to try this.

And to top it all off, it looks ugly too. You can't just paste Metal Slug-ish textures onto 3D buildings and expect the style to be retained.

The 3D KOF for the PS2/Xbox game wasn't too terrible, though. It was actually enjoyable. I played that at a friend's house a few weeks ago. But I know that once SNK/Playmore goes the 3D-only and abandons sprite-based games, it will mark the definite demise of the company.

OK, whoever greenlighted this deserves to have mummies barge into their office and breathe thick clouds of poisonous purple gas on them. The whole thing looks like something a 14 year old in his parents' basement would be making, not a major Japanese studio.

Surely these are from a really early build? The fact that we haven't seen them before doesn't necessarily mean they're from the "almost finished" version.

I'm just trying to be hopeful... :lol:

Hope all you want, but how many times has a game gone from complete ass in it's first shown demo, to something to really good in it's final form? Uh.... never.

It doesn't look too bad, and the style is really MSlug.

I think of the guys who made the original MS, what a masterpiece...then SNK takes a shit all over them with this fucking trash.

Yea that's gotta sting. Happy anniversary, Marco.

Great title for a thread, btw. The parentheses make it read like you're whispering. I didn't click on it for a while because I was creeped the fuck out.

SNK should learn from Konami's mistake with Contra. After Legacy of War and Contra Adventure (granted, it was more the fault of Crappaloosa than the game being 3D) the franchise has never been the same. And JP is right. It looks like an N64 game. I wouldn't mind if they had made it 3D, but kept it a 2D side scroller.

i laughed.

game does look like all kinds of ass. and to all the people who are saying these are the same shots as before, i'm noticing some new locations in the mix (desert town, mountainous area).

fuck you snk. that shit is real shitty... and you know it too.

But surely, what it lacks in style will be made up for by the brilliant gameplay, right? Mwahahahaharrr!

All those REAL HARDCORE people may proceed to the video footage, and witness MS3D and its 4 enemies in ACTION:

Talk about intense, fast-paced gameplay that sticks true to the original.

Oh wait, scratch that. All of that. In fact, feel free to ban me from these forums, for I may have commited sin.
