Seems like they didn't get the memo that you don't do a demo these days unless you're very confident in the quality of your product.
Imagine if they still had to print physical discs I can’t imagine what stage games were in that playable demos were put together at the time compared to some of the broken releases today. From what I remember a lot of the demos were for games that were out already, and they had like videos for games that were coming soon. I wasn’t too into demos though even though I had access to the Xbox and Dreamcast magazine demos at the time

I played the demo yesterday, whoever was in charge of this game at WayForward doesn't seem to understand what the original Contra games are about. I don't care about the scenario, I don't want dialogues taking over during gameplay, especially when we already have to deal with subpar sound effects and boring symphonic music. It's not a movie, it's a Contra game. Contra games are about blowing shit up non stop, not sharing thoughts. This demo was boring. If the whole game is like that, it's going to be a hard pass for me. Do yourself a favor and get Super Cyborg instead.

Agreed. The visuals are so messy. It's hard to see everything that's happening during the 2nd boss fight. The music was extremely underwhelming.
