Metal Slug 3D

[Spent]

This is pretty much exactly what I was expecting it to look like if it were to look bad. Its the exact style of ugly I was imagening. It really looks like PSone/N64 dated graphics, usually when someone says that its an exageration but its really not here. This better be ultra early, like the graphics have been worked on for like 2 weeks and have a 2 years ahead of them to go early.

GTA3 looked like an N64 game too, and no one cared. I don't give a fuck what this looks like. I'm hoping they can keep a good play style that made Metal Slug I &II such a joy to play.

I know what this needs.
CEL SHADING!

You'd think that, right?

It's kind of funny how SNK is going from ancient-looking 2D on the NG hardware to ancient-looking 3D on systems that can do far better. Sure, Max Impact doesn't look bad, but the graphics in MS3D and the backgrounds in KOF94 Re-Bout look like they didn't even try. However, I'm still with those who say that an attempt at something different is better than another 2D rehash... so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I was always under the assumption that since they made 2D for so long, and were so stubborn to move into 3D on newer systems up until recently, that their dev teams were just really shitty from lack of experience, and they probably don't have the scratch to hire real talented 3d artists.

Metal Slug 3D looks like a used tampon from a girl who put it in the wrong hole.
Shinkiro has a shitty art style.
Alien Hominid looks to be so pimp,that Dolomite and Supafly would be its ho's.

Why not?

They always used a semi-realistic style on their cover arts to begin with. They might as well used that style in the actual games.

If the best we can hope for is to have to judge a book by its cover, then I'll pass.

The only 2d rehashes I'm getting a little weary of are Metroid and Castlevania.
For some reason Mega Man never gets old.

Wow. I can't believe you just said that.

Both of the GBA Metroids and all of the GBA Castlevanias have been very, very good. Yet Mega Man is getting less original and less good with each entry.

Doh! It's really a shame that all of these SNK games didn't get one more 2D rehash with re-drawn high res graphics. Would have been cool to see before moving into 3D land.
