I hope they don't. I didn't find the first trailer all that exciting but the 2nd trailer after the 5 month delay made me order the game. The new intro pixel art and those new bosses and such look amazing, I would be happy if they delayed it another 5 months and fancied it up even more.
I don't have any problems with the main character sprite, my only problem is with how the large enemies destruction animation has them 'shrinking' which looks a bit dumb. Why not just have the explosions, then the entire sprite disappears and creates a bunch of shrapnel like with the small enemies?
Also too many enemies 'fall to the bottom of the screen while exploding' when they die. It would be more satisfying if they just completely blew up at some point.
Anyway its NGDEVS game so they can do what they want. I wasn't a fan of Last Hope or Fast Striker mostly because of the graphics, but now that Gunlord has proper true pixel art the company has become really exciting.

I agree, the new additions made a huge difference imo. I'd like to see maybe a bit more animation when the character fires his guns. Like the kick back from the gun fire kinda like the Slugs but not that drastic.But either way its gonna be a great game. >Marty<

fixed
NGDEV Team attempting to make a VS fighter would be well and truly pointless. Apart from the high standards people would expect from the character animation which would take ages and cost huge amounts to produce, the balancing and play testing process would be too much time for a company like this to waste.
Even if they got past these issues, who on earth would really even play the game and keep in maintained in tournaments and such when Capcoms current line up completely dominates the market outside Japan?
NGDEV Team sticking to the standard action game genre's that can be experienced and enjoyed individually by one player is the only logical choice.
If anything, that dragon boss in Gunlord shows that the company could definitely produce a superb looking fantasy side scrolling brawler like The King Of Dragons and other similar games...

I think a fighter from NG
EV would be an epic failure. They shouldn't even touch that with a 10 foot pole. Another platform shooter or side scrolling brawler would be fine with me. Maybe even some action/puzzle type game would be fun. Fast Striker was just blah for me and anyone who claims it was some "god like" game is just riding NG's pole.

Dont forget the game is updatable via USB. They did the same thing for Fast Striker MVS to 1.5. I think they should release now and update if necessary

I agree with that.
If it's as good as it looks, is a sequel to Gunlord out of the question. Maybe not for their next release, but at some point down the road. Why not?
I think personally i those exploisions are just fine, that kind of "special effect" is common in Neo Geo Games, and that gives multiple variations of explosions instead of just 1.

At this point we're living a deja-vu on this thread, where I proposed a good driving game (outrun kind) taking advantage of the neo's scaling capabilities.
Btw, i dont think a vertical shooter where ppl have to rotate their 50" plasma would sell good LOL.
And definitely not another fighter, it would be exactly that: "another" instead "the one"
About Gunlord, personally i love the different ways enemies die. The shrinking one is like a tribute to sengoku era, and the pieces that fall apart is new on the neo (iirc)

why would you want a perspective that doesnt work on a Neo Geo?
Might as well just ask for a Jamma instead of an MVS release... there's no point to having it on a Neo if no Neo can play it without a silly monitor swap.
