Two more from insert credit

Dolphin Blue Video 1
Dolphin Blue Video 2

Certainly it looks amazing... although those sprites... They do not animate as good as Metal Slug's ones.

But yeah, it's a nice combo of 2d and 3d.

BTW tonk, that link do not work (anti leech protection :loco:

Werd.

It is a pretty nice looking game - but I haven't played it so I can't really make a judegment at the moment.

Well I have Dolphin Blue & the game kicks much asssssss.

gozu+mezu · Feb 21, 2004

Remember that Dolphin Blue is done by ex-Nazca (Metal Slug team). I got a friend that played it, and from him, it's not as exciting as Metal Slug 3. It's juste a Slug, with Dolpins, with same controls as slugs (A= shoot, B=jump, C= shoot the dolphin), with sea and land stages.

i think that metal slug 6 can be like Demon Front

from what i had heard, slug 6 will have net team play, by AW-Net portal. :buttrock:

Dolphin Blue is a VERY boring and VERY bland shooter.
Asking MS to be like it is reallllllllllllllllllllllllllly an insult.

Word

The game is a total piece of shit. The controls and gameplay are horriable, and all the BG's look like shit whith almost no sprites.

It looks nice in the videos, but once you play it you will understand.

Agreed. The change to AW may suppose the change to 3D graphic elements, which are easier to do (not to mention to fake hi res presentation). It already happened with the DC / Naomi 2D games so I'm no too expectant for this Playmore-AW thing.

Oh, and the Metal Slug series is, by far, graphically superior to that Taiwanese wannabe which is Demon Front.

Setsuna1982 · Feb 21, 2004

i was talking about the feel of "nice graphics" not the game itself. From the videos it's easy to sy that it's worse than ANY metal slug...

if only metal slug had that hardware... wait! Metal SLug really have that hardware now! w00t!

justdefend · Feb 21, 2004

I dig it. But to me nothing replaces the super detailed and animated hand drawn sprites in the MVS Metal Slugs. Was just playing MS2 and the fourth boss battleship tank is so freakin awesome.

CREATIVITY/IMAGINATION>CONSOLE POWER
SNKP is stuck on stupid & laziness.
The Neo Geo is a hardware that snitches on it's programmers if they should render something inappropriately,REHASH and blend old sprites with new.
This Atomiswave hardware will only be used to MASK the laziness,slacking and inexperience that Playmore has demonstrated on Neo Geo.
Yuki has demonstrated that if you have good intentions to produce excellent work,it is still possible to do so on a Neo Geo.
SNKP+PLAYMORE will =disaster for long time Neo Geo fans.The only thing saving SNKP was the Neo Geo hardware's honesty to reveal programming inexperience or slacking. It's a hardware that will force a programmer to improve into the standards we were/are used to.
Atomiswave is not SNK hardware and Playmore is not SNK..
What's there to be excited about?
This new sh8t will prolly be pushed out through GAME MAKER software :rolleyes:

EDIT Forgot to mention that a huge cult fan base is being abandoned too. Yes,it is that cult following that made returning to program for Neo Geo viable,not to mention the small overhead from existing technology.
New technology does'nt always mean better..

Tiptonium · Feb 21, 2004

Looks like I'll be hoping for teh portz (xbox, ps2).

Kazuki Dash · Feb 21, 2004

I know that those of versed in the goodness that is Slug consider this game a pale competitor, but I wonder what you guys think the reaction of the average person who may not be familiar with Metal Slug would be towards Dolphin Blue..? Just wondering thanks.

Yay, my first post and I don't think I sounded too much like a boob...

Metal Fatigue · Feb 21, 2004

If Metal Slug 6 looked like this it would be ruined. If they HAVE to go sammy style atleast stick to high res 2d.

Buro Destruct · Feb 21, 2004

Having spent a good amount of time with this game almost a year ago, I completely forgot it looked that boring. I was too busy gawking at the hideous slowdown.

The campy, detailed 2-D style of Slug far outweighs Dolphin Blue.

winter · Feb 21, 2004

If the future of SNKP is 2d/3d graphics without any substance, then I am really glad I bought a Neogeo CD instead of an MVS.

Haven't played it myself so it's not fair for me to judge, the screen shots look nice, but riding on a Dolphin? I don't know to me the concept is just GAY.

You'd be surprised how amazingly "gay" classics are... just look at Mario :P

And, I dunno about you guys, but I think as far as laziness goes with SNKP, if they're gonna need to redraw hi-res sprites for the new games, I don't think that's too lazy.

Metal slug series should not see any new graffics overhaul. It should simply see the end of the frachise.
After playing slug 5 for the first time today i must say that the series is getting stale and it is time to put it to pasture and move on.

Curt · Feb 22, 2004

Damn thats the first I've seen of Dolphin Blue

the graphics are so-so

but the game just from that footage gives me a Metal Slug Ripoff Feeling...

anyways... MSLUG on advanced hardware, with SOME 3d , whilst still keeping the classic look... I'm game

Agreed, MS5 is definitely a "slug" at heart, but its unlikely they'll even reach this level in the future, much less MS3 glory.

If MS6 will look like this, I'm soooo game!
