It does look cool.

However, I wish some of the current developers would work on games OTHER than fighting. It'd be nice to see a new Platformer or Action game.

gozu+mezu · Mar 1, 2003

NOISE FACTORY already worked on BEAT-THEM-ALL (SENGOKU 3 and GAIA CRUSADERS), and on SHOOT-THEM-UP (METAL SLUG 4).

and i think that they will be workin' on METAL SLUG 5.

Porshapwr · Mar 1, 2003

True, but those were sequels.

Also, I hear that Metal Slug 4 isn't very good.

gozu+mezu · Mar 1, 2003

Can somebody tell me what mean "DEBU"?, is it a japenese word, i see it on the 2nd background, and i dont know if it's a japenese word.

Porshapwr · Mar 1, 2003

I'm not sure about that one.

The third and fourth screens crack me up though! lol

I looked it up in the dictionary, it means 'Fatty'? Kind of strange, I'm guessing it might be one part of a larger word.

WoW! drool_2

This games looks better for every new screen. Just look at the vivid colours and amazing backgrounds. If the animation and overall design is good this is gonna look really sweet.

gozu+mezu · Mar 1, 2003

I found METAL SLUG 4 a very interresting game (hard games are very rare these days)

For POWA INSTINCT, i re-played the N°1 on mame last week, the game is very awesome for a 1993 game, more speedy than street fighter 2.

-Have somebody noticed that there is a FAT FREE ROCK BAND on the 2nd screen (remind me the vocal and the drum from PANTERA).
-Transformation seems to be like in FUUN'KEN/SAVAGE REIGN/KIZUNA ENCOUNTER.
-KEITH WAYNE new look, is looking like a ROCK HOWARD without his red jacket (seems hat NOISE want to to some connection between KEITH WAYNE and CHRIS WAYNE design).
-I sit me, or KAMEN RIDERS are very hype and on the wave thoses days???

gozu+mezu · Mar 1, 2003

DEBU=FATTY, must be for that FAT FREE -LOOK LIKE PANTERA- ROCK BAND lol

BryLmoo · Mar 1, 2003

The graphical flair is impressive.

But, if it plays to much like RotD...I'm not buying.

NeoLord · Mar 1, 2003

Will you look at those graphics? They don't look anything like ROTD! In fact, it doesn't even look like a Neo-Geo game! Damn. buttrock

Makismo · Mar 3, 2003

That game looks much better than Rage of the Dragons! I hear that Rage of the Dragons was 660 megs. This game has to be more than that. I bet this game has to be over 700 megs. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it was pushing the 800 meg barrier.

This game has about 20 characters I heard and Rage of the Dragons had about 6 less playable characters than Power Instinct 3. King of Fighters games look like crap because they spend all the megs on having a large cast of characters. They must have upped the meg count a bunch to get these visuals. From these screen shots it appears to look better than Mark of the Wolves. Finally we can see what the Neo is really made of.

Mr. Wizard · Mar 3, 2003

Looks crazy like Waku Waku 7 but will it play like ROTD? Prelims said it does but who knows what the finished product will yeild.

Im with Porshapwr Im ready for something other than a fighter.

My interest is peaked. The MVS cart will be mine soon enough.

That game looks very nice. I am very impressed this looks that good on old hardware. I can't wait to get my hands on this game! Does anyone know if it is on test in CA yet?

drool this just keeps getting better and better drool

Scalpeur · Mar 3, 2003

I like the colors... but I need a video... cause I fear the game to be too close of rage... and rage is only a good game, not an exelent one.

But the graphisms look good... exept the screenshots on the official web site.. I would prefer not to have seen those screenshots (those of the official web site)

anyway... I'm saving my money for metal 5... but I'm ready to buy this game if the videos look great... I hope there will be any really soon...

toy_brain · Mar 3, 2003

I like the look of the game, though with RotD it wasn't untill I saw it on my 21" TV that I noticed the slightly 'odd' style the backgrounds are done in.
Noise Factory games tend to have a slightly mixed look, with varying degrees of quality in the artwork throughout.

This still has my interest though, and I suspect that those comparrisons to RotD's gameplay may refer to the timing of the moves more than anything - which were different to every fighting game I had ever played before.

Now, if I could just hear some of the games music - as its Noise Factory its sure to kick ass!

rugal2000 · Mar 5, 2003

Wow last time people said it didnt even look good enough to be a neo game, now people are saying it may compare and surpass ROTD and MOTW.

Scalpeur · Mar 5, 2003

Rage, well I think so...
Garou, well no, NEVER!!!

Even if I think this game can cometimes have good graphisms and almost colored graphisms such as WW7... The first screenshots on the official website are just... normal and even a little bit poor.
I fear the game play to be also normal, nothing new.
I fear the animations to be just normal such as those of Rage.
I fear to see this game without a story or any stories at all (almost because there are the characters of Rage in it and I don't see any links between the 2 games).

Without any kind of story, it's difficult to create an atmosphere.
As a result the game have to be really incredible according to the game play and all the technical aspects... I fear it's not.

So, I think this game will be an average game... nothing more nothing less... A good game to buy when the price will drop.

I can be wrong... and I hope to be wrong... But I'm waiting for more videos (good quality videos) to really judge the game.

I prefer thinking about MS5 and SNK Vs Capcom.

I'm kinda dissapointed that this one isn't a tag-fighter like the 3rd game (Groove on Fight). It was one of the originals and you could pick up dead bodies and throw them at the enemy.

But it still looks good =0

bokmeow · Mar 7, 2003

I also have to agree that it does look pretty good. I didn't get to play Rage of the Dragons but the visuals did astound me, I look forward to these knockout visuals and what I assume will also be knockout gameplay, since Noise Factory has accumulated a lot more experience since then.

Makismo:
From these screen shots it appears to look better than Mark of the Wolves.

That's really hard to believe, but if the characters are anywhere near as fluid looking as MOTW then I'm going to shit myself.

The graphics in WW7 is (sorry all fans) poor. The animation is godd at some points but the color palette is bland.
The gameplay can´t be judged from screens. Thought feared.
ROTD had great animation, high ratio compared to other neo-fighters actually.
