Holy Shite guys! It Contra and its 2-D gameplay, what more could you want!!!!!
I was convinced ultra-shitty Konami was gonna butcher Contra and make it a First person shooter, it was the clear thing to do, the thing that would make them the most money...Half Life, Halo, Metroid Prime are all gonna.
But for the love of everything Konami has done that was good, they have kept it 2-d gameplay. Thats all I need. Thank you Konami...so much!
The hits keep coming!
I'm with Ethugg on this one. RE controls are just fine. Played RE games for 7 years and never had problems with them, except on Cube, but only because Dpad is damn too small.
OK, forget Resident Evil then. Take the graphics and sound away from Rez and then tell me how many of you still want to play?
My point is simply that graphics do matter. They are not nearly as trivial as some people make them out to be. If the industry announced tomarrow that from this point on any and all games will have the graphics handled by 8th graders, how many of you would be upset? Yeah, that's what I though. We do in fact care about graphics. :)
After looking at all the screns I think it's safe to say the new Contra borrows heavily on ideas from previous games.

Yea, that turtle boss and the flying bugs while climbing on the ledge is ripped strait from Contra III.Quote:

Looks like there is a female character as well. I think this game looks pretty darn good, backgrounds have seem to have been the least worked on so far, but the enemy/bosses looks great. Sure the lack of power ups is odd, but it sounds like each weapon has a alternate way to shoot, so its really like six guns. I can't wait for this game to come out.
I would put some cash on the fact that a NEW 2D Contra would outsell both of the 3D abortions that were sold on the PSX combined.Quote:

It seems there will be.Quote:

BTW, the new heroine is called Lucia, not that it matters though.
:lol: I get your point. I don't think Contra is going to be made by 8th graders, though.Quote:

Hell, I love to see good graphics in a good game and in a game like RE, atmosphere is everything, so graphics and sound would be crucial to that game. A game like Contra, where action rules, it isn't quite as important, certainly not important enough to totally ruin the game. The screenshots aren't very impressive graphically, but it seems that the game is sticking to the tried-and-true gameplay that Contra is known for. That's all I ask of Konami, to stick to the gameplay.
