Metal Slug 6 Large Screenshots

P00t · Oct 12, 2005

Some clearer screen shots from MS6, looks nice while keeping the original look and keeping away from the new gen.

Sorry but it looks like ass.

Especially this shot

they don't even look like they're standing on the damn ground

rework the whole game or none of it

having said that, I'm still excited

AcidPope · Oct 12, 2005

Couldn't they have upped the resolution, seeing as it's not on MVS hardware? What are they thinking?

qube · Oct 12, 2005

Shit, I just want to play Ralph and Clark :drool:

I'm wondering how the Power, Defence, and Speed will effect gameplay.

Didn't all of the characters have different strengths before?

Agreed, except for the last part.

SNK moves from 15 year old hardware to hardware that creates some beast looking 2D games, and all they do is copy and paste the sprites whilst creating some of the worst goddamn backgrounds in Slug history. Un-inspired and drab, right on par with 4.

What a fucking waste.

OLD.

Those are from fucking TGS!

Rated G · Oct 12, 2005

I'm sure it will still be fun and all, but the old sprites look so damn flat against the slick pre-rendered backgrounds.. Whats the point of switching to a more powerful hardware if your not going to fully utilize the potential. Why not animate the characters from scratch and make them bigger and more detailed? I'd love to see some zooming on a MS game..

k'_127 · Oct 12, 2005

looks very nice. I dig ralf and clark and the new BGs.

I'm also interested in the gameplay tweaks.

PS: it's not fair to judge the backgrounds from pics. there was a movie showing Ralf walking in a grass field and there was a fleet of birds flying behind. looked very nice. They are definitely making improvements in that department. That, and you should be thankful to see another 2D shooter in this age.

Gamefan · Oct 12, 2005

I think it has a smoothed over look to it. I think we should wait to see hi res videos of the game before we start bitching about it. :oh_no:

Can't say I agree with your logic. We've had, for the most part, the same sprites in the Slug games for years and years. Slug 5 was great in re-invigorating the series with new blood (new Slug vehicle, different enemies), and yet all I see here are the same sprites from ancient hardware meshing incredibly badly with some new looking backgrounds.

It's just lazy, pure and simple.

Not at this resolution, or at least I haven't seen such big pics yet.

exactly the first thing that came to my mind. This is sad.

E=MC2 · Oct 12, 2005

everything ive seen on the AW looks really SAD. all the snkplaymore releases look total shit and ugly. only game ive seen that actually looked decent was hokuto no ken, and thats not even snkp but sammy. i hope they'll leave the aw alone and start working on a new next gen arcade system like segas new lindbergh system so we can all see these ugly sprites again for some more years to come. wish they would make a new fatal fury or KOF game like hokuto evrything new.

hanafuda · Oct 12, 2005

I think the problem with the shot above is the shadows, but it's not that big of a deal.

Overall I think it looks pretty nice, and I like their logic of keeping the style/sprites from the original games while giving the backgrounds a makeover. I personally don't want them to change the sprties as I think it just wouldn't be the same if they did. By just changing the backgrounds you aren't losing that Metal Slug atmosphere.

The new slugs and enemies look pretty good too. Bearing in mind this is still in development, I am looking forward to it a lot. Just hope they make some successful changes in the gameplay department. That is my concern. Not whining because they have recycled old sprites...

Total shit? Funny you should mention that....

Geddon_jt · Oct 12, 2005

They just ripped the IDENTICAL sprites from the Neo game, kept them in their low resolution, and put them on hi-res backgrounds...
This should be a NEOGEO game. Rediculous.

What did you expect to happen. This is SNK, remember?

What's the address of the cave that you were hiding in?

OMG! Someone didn't see pictures you had seen already :eek:

You should insult him since he obviously lives in a cave!!!!111oneone!!111!

:rolleyes:

ViewtifulZFO · Oct 12, 2005

Metal Slug is Metal Slug. It's a bit early to say, but since I enjoyed all the previous iterations of the series, I will probably enjoy this one as well. The shadows don't bother me that much.

Is it me, or am I the only one that noticed how the rebel overlaps the helicopter at the upper-left side of the screen?
