Knowing that nobody could afford to make Metal Slug 3 tier sprites and animations these days, I wonder if having a MS8 would be worth it. The last official games released were mobile games if I recall correctly. If we were to have a good Metal Slug game, it would need to be privately/crowd funded so it can be profitable for the developers/publisher.

Have you guys thought about a new transformation besides mummy, chimp and zombie? I was thinking skeleton or vampire, to keep up the horror theme.

Werewolf
Your close range attack would be slashing people with your claws

Nazca game artstyle
no Ikari Warriors
no Unique character stats
no Alien plotlines

Dinosaur

I thought about a skely transformation too the other day, like a little Mars Attacks rip-off where the aliens have guns that turn you into skeletons, but instead of dying you just keep fighting, and maybe the gameplay gimmick is that you pick up bones from other dead people and become a big dude, like Nito from Dark Souls or something like that.

Werewolf

I just wanna see the original mood of Metal Slug. You know, the overly militaristic rambo-style universe if slap-stick humor and caricature characters. Not a shitty ''serious business'' mood with a parade of unoriginal waifus and characters.

Wait, what? Did it ever stop being that? Did it ever become serious?
t. only played the early PS1 games

hehe... funi

Since Playmore took the opportunity to buy SNK, they drastically changed things. Concerning Metal Slugs, they did some radical shit.
MS4 is considered to be the worse in the series. The lack of humor, the reused sprites, the fact that we can't play Tarma and Eri, the lack of new content, the forgettable music, the difficulty.... It's considered to be the worst of the series.
SNK-Playmore somehow learned from a few of their mistakes with Metal Slug 5, we had new content, but again, it wasn't a lot. The humor was still not there, making the game a hundred times more soulless. Most of the original characters were missing, like Morden and his men or the Aliens. Also, the game had a very serious business tone, which contracdict the very own nature of Metal Slug; a parody of action movies like Rambo or Terminator.
Metal Slug 6 was... Forgettable. I can't remember shit from it. As far as I remember, the Heavy Machine Gun became the default weapon and they added a rather cool ''inventory system'', in which you could saved two weapons at the time, and if you died, you only lost the one you had in your hands. But it still has this serious business tone and lacks the charm of the original trilogy.
Metal Slug 7/XX were good and had some really good ideas, but again, the charm wasn't there. (Though I really enjoyed the Mecha Fight with Morden and the fact that we could play as Clark And Ralf from Ikari Warriors and Leona from KoF)
Don't even let me start on Metal Slug 3D

LASER GUN sucks dick.

I like the older arts in MS1. Really gives the game unique flavors

MS3 tier sprites could still be done relatively on the cheap, I don't recall SNK ever making a hubub about them or anything of the sort.

Only time it was an issue was when they went full fuckin' HD with them, using an iterative process that involved making full 3D models, animating them frame by frame (so we're already nearly at XRD levels of effort) and then tracing OVER those frames to create a base sprite, and then shading on those traces, and then adding effects on top of those

Unless they sperged the fuck out and made metal slug character sprites take up nearly a fifth of HD screenspace, it wouldn't be NEARLY as hard, inefficient, or expensive.

>mummy
More like MOMMY! amirite?

but metal slug has been serious shit since ms1 (read the back-story of the games), just because the art-style is cartoony doesn't mean the game itself is just wacky shit.

I am going to quote our one and only God, John Carmack for that one :
>A video game is like a porno, you know there's a story, but that's not what you're here for.

Plus, how can a story that goes ''A Saddam Hussein Caricature takes over the world in less than 7 hours and two Elite soldiers ONLY are sent to save the planet'' be serious?

Carmack is a shit game designer though, he was purely the code monkey while the rest of the team made the fun.

Dab on the cucks

>missing the point
literally nobody plays MS for the deep lore or story. The second it starts trying to take itself seriously in the gameplay department it stops being good.

metal slug attack has nice spritework in general (even if a bunch of it is just recolors).
Disregarding the units that were just ripped from the mobile games (like Roberto or Tyra), a lot of the new characters have good animations.
Morden begins war because his son got killed in a terrorist attack made by the own army he used to work with, not to mention he was already disgusted by some of the illegal shit the government and the army were doing.
Also Marco and Tarma are forced to go against the Rebel Army because they got blackmailed, and Fio and Eri have to kill them both if they refuse to continue.

>more levels
Imo my biggest gripe with the series overall is that the games aren't long enough for what you pay. Yes, each individual level is lengthy, but there are only a few of them. Obviously quality control demands not having as much levels as something like a call of duty game, but there should be around 10 levels imo.
>more branching paths
Everyone loves these, why not
>more modern boss design sensibilities
Basically need more phases to the boss fights to make them more nuanced, and more bosses in the course of a level. Can take inspiration from shit like cuphead for this.

Attached: metalslug1-1-big.jpg (714x714, 104K)

Well, ok, why not. But then again. Who cares? It's a bloody Run'n'Gun game in which the story is barely explained! There's not even a single character talking (except ''C'mon, boy!'') and literally the only thing you care about is SHOOTING.
I can get that the plot can be important in games like Metal Gear or Splinter Cell. But Metal Slug? Come the fuck on.

Metal Slug was the first ever game I 1cc'd and it involved a fuck ton of quarters at Godfathers Pizza

anyone else know that feeling?

I'd like to see *something* added to metal slug but I don't know what.
I almost wanna see something other than a run and gun but I don't know what it would be worth trying.

wow, a frogposter how original.

I'd be unironically down for a metal slug battle royale set in a massive 2D arena.

If John Carmack was listened to, we'd never have tons of kickass characters or absurd twists that blew our fucking minds

And for that matter, the fucker was a programmer, not a game designer; is the lead designer supposed to ever give a FUCK what the goddamned programmer thinks about the story?

Does an author give a shit about what the bookbinder and mailman think?

Does the director give a fuck what the camerman thinks the plot should play out like?
Fuck no, because that's not what they got hired for, that's not what they're there for, and in all liklihood they've got no fucking clue what they're talking about, because on average, the programmer probably can't write a good story to save his fucking life

I think that they should add a werewolf haha
Like when they get bitten they writhe around in pain slowly transforming until they lose their humanity hahaha. That would be kind funny right? haha.

In context, he was talking about Doom, which defintly doesn't need a complex story to have a coherent universe and a justification to anything happening in the game. And the same can be said about Metal Slug. The story never really was important. The Developement team wanted Aliens? Boom, here they are. Giant Animal mutants with Machine Guns? Boom, here they are. Etc etc.

it's important for the game you're going to be in front of to look the best it can. When I 1cc'd metal slug 3 I felt spoiled because of the beautiful visuals.

Don't think it'll ever happen. Reused assets have been around throughout the whole series. There's been reused graphical assets since 2/X and some of the voices were from some of their games from before the first Metal Slug.

Not your game, waifufaggot

Ptolemaic got fleshed out in MSA.

>As far as I remember, the Heavy Machine Gun became the default weapon
Only for Fio. It was her perk.

His son AND wife user. Morden lost his family because of the Regular Army and a lot of Rebel soldiers are just people sick of corruption who want things to change.

>Fio and Eri have to kill them both if they refuse to continue
This explain why only Tarma (in the Regular Army) knows about Alice's true nature.

>Since Playmore took the opportunity to buy SNK,
Stopped reading right there. Playmore was never a different entity. It was just SNK's founder making another company to get back their IPs that were scooped up duing their first death by Aruze.
Taking a quick glance at your second line see . Reused assets were always a thing.

Don't even need to read the rest, you've already proven you know next to nothing about the company's situation/history.

Several MSA characters already got official merch from SNK and those two are amongst the most developped characters.
If Dragunov ever get added to MS8, I can guarantee you a good part of the marketing will be centered around her.
Stay seething.

SNKPlaymore digged the grave of SNK's games. There's no saving it.

They look nothing like MS characters. They are an insult to the Original Games. Plus, their first game was on mobile, what a fucking disgrace.

SNK doesn't care.
See KoF14 with Love heart and MuiMui.
SEETHING

Have you played the original games? Have you ever looked at the concept art for MS1, 2 and 3?
Do you even care about the damn game or you just want to fap to your favorite ''characters''?

ROCKET LAWN CHAIR

Is this loss?

I would honestly love a Metal Slug game with high-res hand-drawn art, but that'd probably require a higher budget than what SNK is willing to spend.

So it'll either be sprites again, which is fine, or 3D, which could range from great to awful.

You're just assblasted because the new characters are cute girls.

Iron Lizard isn't that bad, man.

Dragunov, Destrade, Huracan and Yoshino look like they could be mid-boss characters, there's also a lot of girls in machines that could also be main bosses.

Play the home ports of the games. Fucking combat school is a thing in a bunch of them. Don't just stick to the arcade ports whether you buy or pirate them. In addition to combat school:

>MS1 has an another story mode that explains lore about 2 officers and Rumi through mini games and journal entries.
>Home port of X has a bunch of unlockable mini missions, gallery
>home port of 3 has the get miltiplayer mini game and doing the mothership portion of the final mission with the rebel soldiers
>4/5 (in the states released in abundle of just those two) his the most bare bones, basically just an item collection/prisoner list
>Not too sure about 6, but I'm pretty sure it at least had combat school
>7/XX have combat school and mini mission stuff, it's honestly the most robust combat school/side material in the main series, XX had some branching paths, but it could've used more imo
>advance had a card collection gimmick, some of them modified things like the Slugs, health/ammo
>the Anthology had the art and wallpapers (depending on version), hold you still
I'm unsure about the rest, some came with more stuff than others, but for as much shit as some people like to give 7/XX side-content wise they're high up in bulk for the series.

Of course I am. That means they've basically stopped trying to respect the game's original mood and charm and starting to do shitty waifubait to give their shitty app more attention. I know the lore of the original games, but like most anons mentionned earlier, I don't care, because the gameplay is the most important aspect.

>Metal slug 4 had forgettable music.
I'll agree with you one everything else wrong with for but not the music, 4 had some great songs.

Because at the time most of their devs were not with them, only the ones who stuck through Aruze's bullshit remained. Again it's not a different entity, it was a shit time, but they worked with what they had. Thinking they were a different company/a takeover is retarded. It was literally what remained from SNK after it's initial bankruptcy.

Defense doesn't mean shit but it should be noted that Ralf takes too hits to kill in metal slug

I still don't know why didn't they either adopt Arcsys method of 3D models/animations or cooperate with them to make their new games

It wasn't like they had outfits and a character design that fit the theme of the game, literally 60% of MSA characters just look like either bland lolis in military suits (while Eri and Fio look like they had military training at least) or just straight bikini fighters from a shitty slice of life harem show.

>That means they've basically stopped trying to respect the game's original mood and charm
If you're talking about the Cold War atmosphere, they did away with that starting MS4.

>starting to do shitty waifubait to give their shitty app more attention
They actually made a poll asking what the player wanted: waifus won by a very large margin, it was a move made by the community, not the devs.

>because the gameplay is the most important aspect
The mood and charm of a game has no bearing on the gameplay, what are you complaining about then?

>Go ahead and fap to thoses shitty anime characters
Don't worry, I will.

Dai herself said the next MS featuring sprite of that quality is extremely unlikely.

It took Arcsys a team doing nothing but R&D for several years to reach that level and they are sure not sharing their methods.

MSA literally only has a grand total of ONE loli and her true body is that of a warmachine.
As for Fio and Eri, you fail to mention how their short have sexy slits on them.

Higher res pixel art sprites than the original games is a 0% chance definitely, it would be way too much effort to animate then
Arcsys does share their methods however, both French Bread and A+ Games got help from Arcsys to make their games look better with the use of their workflow (FB used their blazblue workflow to make super high res detailed sprites for Uniel and DFC, while A+ took their Xrd workflow to make the LWA and KLK game)

I think even in the context of Doom his quote is kinda garbage though.
If Doom was the exact same game, but with you shooting non-descript wireframe enemies with non-descript wireframe weapons rather than about being a space marine killing goddamn demons and watching them explode in gore I think it would lose some of the appeal too.
And the story literally is nothing more than "space marine kills demons", but it IS a story.
You need context and framing for what you're doing to enhance the coolness of the gameplay. I think only puzzle games like Tetris can survive on an "absolutely no narrative at all" basis.

Oh, so like the main mission stuff? Yeah, games are pretty short, what with its arcade origins and stuff. Someone mentioned branching missions like contra hardcorps, that itself could be pretty cool. In terms of story the Sparrows and Peregrine Falcons have been given different objectives, so maybe making the missions differ based on that, but at the same time it could piss people off since it could keep them from playing a mission with a specific character they like.

>see thread
>Muh waifufags
Here we go again, I don't even touch the mobile games or care about most of the girls from it, but c'mon.

First they are made because they are the ones buying shit and spending money/whale. Reminder SNK is a company, a company's goal is to make money. As you guys are complaining about this stuff, when was the last time you bought a Metal Slug game in some form, I don't just mean firing one up on emulator, but actually buying a copy, be it physical, or one of the hundreds of digital ports or even the ones on the mini. When was the last time you bought some merchandise? As much shit as they get the waifufags send money and buy merchandise.

Second that stuff is locked behind a free to play mobile, the game may have expanded on the story and all that jazz, people who play it may say they want to have this or that girl in the main game, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that it'll have any bearing on a mainline or console game. In the company proper they're two different sudios/division. It would be like the KoF mobage and mobile crossovers impacted the main KoF games. It hasn't happened.

In fact there's been metal slug mobile games for like more than a decade already. People love to bitch about mobile stuff, but it's literally one of the very reasons SNK is still around. As of this last bit of news their money makers are the mobile and licensing.

>LWA
it's a shame it still looked subpar

See it's like you only played 1 and like the first mission of 2. Metal Slug can literally involve anything. Aliens, Zombies, ancient mummy curses, huge ,huge bugs, Huge carnivorous plants, Yetis, time travel etc. I'm sorry to tell you this, but they don't have to look like soldiers or part of a military organization to have justification into being apart of Metal Slug.

I think 5 is worth playing. 5, it has some pretty good initial stages, all new enemy sprites and several new slugs, although you can easily notice how the final stages and ending were rushed and barebones, with stuff like alternative routes disappearing already after the first two stages and a credits sequence/ending that's basically nothing.

See what said.
Sally is powered up by dark magic thanks to Ptolemaios.
First Baby is the holographic representation of an omnicidal warmachine.
Vita is a former soldier, now she's just a cyborg bodyguard/assistant and Nova is literally a cybernetic supersoldier from the future.
None of them are wearing bikini.
Jin is the only one that fit your complain and she will stop fighting soon because she will carry children and get killed shortly after.

What a coincidence, it's like the Regular army reverse-engineered the tech used by the future Rebel soldier.
What you don't get is that the setting is moving as mentioned previously.

5 also has a pretty great soundtrack.

they said the new game will not have any relation with Attack, so they aren't adding the oh-so-hated waifus.

Well obviously these are supposed to be new types of soldier using new technology, a game doesn't need to stay stuck in the same exact era especially after all that time blasting aliens could have easily been used to make better weapons.

Play more of them and make your own judgements. As a whole some of the games that come after vary in strength when it comes to Metal Slug games, but as games in general they are pretty much fine. There will be those who bitch and moan that they're shit because of reused assets and not the original Nazca team, but even the original Nazca team was prone to reusing a bunch of stuff and some of those games had some flaws like slowdown or the, relative to the series, wonky controls in 1.

Don't take my word for it though, try them and form your own opinion and see which ones you like and you don't.

Source?
The only thing they said is that they were working on a new MS, nothing more.

How did you come to this conclusion, praytell?

I don't see Super Grenade too often in my playthroughs of the game. But damn they are strong. I can only imagine "fat" Super Grenade.

Fuck, even the female characters were studied to look like actual soliders FIRST and then waifus.

As with everything, SNK must always be held back in all capacities. Their games never sell a ton, the recognition they get for anything outside of Metal Slug art and KoFXIII's visuals is minuscule at best, and hardly anyone ever remixes their music or makes fan art for them. Despite how good a lot of their games are, they're effectively the Platinum Games of the FGC.

It was the manliest official pic of her I've found.
Because the alternative is pic related which does the argument "she looks like a soldier" even less favor.

Only the Rebel Army sported that style and they kept it.
The Regular Army never did.

Most of them are not and are immediatly recognizable for that reason.

And almost none of the girls in MSA looks like SK characters.

AGAIN, they just don't feel like they belong in a Metal Slug game. They look like they come out of a Gacha game. SNK just kissed the original Rambo-parody Dieselpunk Caricature setting the OG Games had and embrace the type of girls you would find in some chink game that copies gacha games or LoL.
I would have nothing agaisnt theses characters if it wasn't for the fact that they attracted people like you who only praise the games with their dick and just want to have a wank on them. While theses games used to be praised for their gameplay AND original setting.

That can't be Marco's daughter. Thats a fucking shitty demon girl from a DarkStalkers rip-off

Ralf already has the Vulcan Punch, but I feel that Heidern using the vaulting attack as his special move would be fun as a melee option too

If you wanna claim they abandoned that parodic tone they have about military dramas, then you mean to say they abandon it right after the first game. Remember 1 and then remember 2. Notice how 2 got even stupidier and less believable than 1. That parody feeling you think had exist for 3 games really only exist for only 1, after that they've just been amping up the ridiculousness more and more until it's brought up to were we are now. So yeah i'm gonna look at nice artwork you post and straight up tell you "Yes it was gonna come down to this"

This is a new one that's basically just an idle game, it still features a similar setup to attack with the base 1v1 setup but it's really just an idle clicker.
Attack isn't all that bad but obviously it's pay2win as fuck and new characters get stronger and stronger.

Consider Marco is hobby and passion is being a computer software geek, being an otaku shut in and having such tastes kinda fits him well enough.

for

You previously said that you didn't cared about the lore, only gameplay.
So if only gameplay matter, what do you care about the waifu? It's not like Marco/Tarma are going to disappear, if anything they got more screentime than everyone else in MSA.

>SNK just kissed the original Rambo-parody Dieselpunk Caricature setting the OG Games had
It stopped being a Rambo parody the very moment they introduced Fio/Eri and the dieselpunk part is very present in MSA as arms race is a thing.
Do I need to remind you that most people here died to the snails on purpose just to see their clothes melting?
MSA didn't attract shit, those people were always here. you're just unable to imagine people playing MS could also happen to be pervert.
Does it suddenly mean that you like the MSA girls now that I've etablished pervert were there the moment they introduced girls in the setting?

It's a shame.

could 4 players work?

It wasn't necessary for it to go full anime. There was no reason for them to do it. Also.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN THEY ABANDONNED IT RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST GAME? 2 AND 3 STILL LOOKED LIKE PARODIES OF MOVIES LIKE PREDATOR OR STARSHIP TROOPERS. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

it isn't, she's an virus Marco released from a SV and made it the AI of a new Slug, He cares a lot for her so it is like a father/daughter relationship.
Also that's a costume from a special event.

Alice literally modeled herself after Marco's preferences so yeah.

This.
MS1 is the only serious game.
MS2 got wacky, MS3 even more.

>korean trash
n-no thanks

If they make the play area bigger with good indication of where you are then HELL YEAH!

Why do people seethe about girls so much? Whether one is for them or against them it doesn't necessarily mean that the new game will be influenced by the mobile games like what said.

>Metal Slug but it's Risk of Rain with 16 players

I like the girls. Wish they focus on the guys a bit more.

They aren't suppose to be parodies of movies like that, and MS6 was an even bigger parody of starship troopers. I had thought you're whole complaints been about how they abandon there parody likeness to was stuff like Rambo and what not, but you mean movies in general then clearly you haven't really been bothering to look for them cause it's still there even after all this time. You're just bitching about waifus

If the PM army is present in MS8, you WILL see Dragunov, she's just that popular.

I don't fucking know man. All I want is for the game to be as full of crazy bullshit as possible. If girls in mech suits is part of that then I fucking want it. As long as the main 4 aren't shafted and there's new vehicles and a new transformation(imagine becoming a demon or something) I don't care. Give me a fun game if boobs come in that package then so what.
Also there'd better be a CE SNK, I don't care if its Japan only. I'm buying that shit. Even more so if there's a chibi Eri or Fio figure included.

1. No it didn't. It wasn't like there were military dramas about female soldiers
2. The Snails Scene was in ONE level of the game. ONE.
3. By lore, I meant story. Not graphics and artstyle. Going full anime weebshit isn't the way to go for Metal Slug.
4. I am talking about the game. Not the goddamn porn surrounding it. The fact that I have 25 Gb Folder of Eri lewd pics shouldn't concern you.

Agreed. Also just imagine this
>Allen and Allen Jr. Boss fight
How fucking good would that be?

I hate waifubait because it's a weak strategies to attract new players into the game. Characters are studied for their sexual attractiveness and not their overall design. Which is the opposite of what the OG games did.

Both are unpopular AND jobbers so it's unlikely.
If you want musclegirls, you'll have better odds on the PM army side.

If you mean Dragunov and Yoshino then yeah I'll be fine with them too.
Doesn't surprise me they're unpopular either.

>25gb of porn.
Is there that much?

You make a very good counter offer.

You don't want to imagine.

Stage-based arcade shooter with bullet hell bits, like Cuphead. Cartoony 3D models with realistic textures and good overall graphic quality.
Very challenging difficulty, with a hardcore mode. All the characters from previous games, and most of the iconic vehicles. A campaign that lasts 20 hours.

I hope it's not shit like the everything after 3 but I expect them to play it super safe like 7

>SV001 model kit
Already exists. It's in engrish, but it's official.

you need to really understand SNK's money situation, they are have for like the longest always been the prime example of "If you do not change, you can not survive" as much as i love them. Waifu's are no doubt a crutch but it's an effective one to get them back on there feet. Let the waifus work and line there pockets to that can get back on there feet well enough to recover the ground they lost. Save all your bitching for when and if they start overshadowing mainline game elements.

The same way Japan had military drama about sexy female soldier, right?

>The Snails Scene was in ONE level of the game. ONE.
Missing the point.
Fio/Eri melting scene are amongst the most memorable animations of the entire serie for a reason.

>By lore, I meant story. Not graphics and artstyle. Going full anime weebshit isn't the way to go for Metal Slug.
Anime weebshit is a graphical artstyle so I take you're okay with the waifu since you were not talking about how they were dressed this entire time?
As for the lore/story, most if not all of the MSA waifu have a decent backstory, ranging from mediocre to actually good, you're just unable to imagine a sexy girl could also happen to be interesting.
>I am talking about the game.
So am I. I never even mentionned the porn once. If anything, you're the one associating the MSA waifu with porn all the time.

And you still haven't answered my question:
You said you didn't cared about the lore, only gameplay but you're also saying that you care about the lore: which is it?

He's BSing.

>A campaign that lasts 20 hours
You're getting 6 missions, the game will be less than 2 hours long, combat school will be super repetitive if it's even there, and it's going to cost more than $30
And you're going to like it

Because SNK Heroines was asset reuse the game, they would have put Fio (and some MSA characters) in if they didn't have to make a new movesets and models from scratch.

I like Eri.

At least the final character was amazing

Bummer.

I imagine the majority of it is shit.

It may be 2 hours long but you're a fool if you think I won't play it 10 times by myself and 10 more times with friends.

>Because SNK Heroines was asset reuse the game
I mean that ain't wrong, but that's also true for most KoF and a bunch of their other games. Even Metal Slug is guilty of it from the start. Even the first game reused voices from some of Nazca's previous work.

I don't really like the "Marco is a super-genius AI inventor" sub-plot. Doesn't really jive with what he looks like, or the more low-key setting of the arcade games.

I believe that this game can be more than a sequence of stages that can be completed in less than 2 hours with no effort. They must try something new, they aren't making games for arcades anymore.
If they want to sell their game, it must have some substance. It needs to be more than the old ones were.

His specialty has always been programming and shit though.

It's literally a thing since the first game.

It's not suppose to jive with the initial looks, nothing lore wise is suppose jive with the intial looks of the games. That's the point

That's like manual-tier trivia. The average arcade game player probably doesn't know that.

what what?
I haven't played beyond 3. the hell has been going on

BOTH. YOU FUCKING IDIOT.
Oh, and of course; the Snails Scenes was the only memorable scene, yeah. Wasn't like there was also:
>The Final Attack in MS1
>The Mummies in MS2
>The First Alien Attack in MS2
>The Shoot em' up stage
>The Infiltration in the MotherShip
>The Maya Temple
>The Japaneses
>The Hadouken Prisonners
>etc.

And no, I'm still not okay with the waifus, because their clothing and artstyle is cliché, unoriginal and doesn't belong to the MS universe.

And yes, a female character can be sexy, but it doesnt have to be her only character trait.

Well he didn't invent her, he just stole her and put her inside of a SV-001 really. Seems believable to me.
I'd be fine with a replayable arcade like game.
Have the sickass multiple routes that 3 had, maybe add more unique characters and maybe upgrade to 10~ stages (optional stages)
I think a big factor to the fun factor of metal slug is being able to pick it up and beat it in less than an hour, it might get stale if it goes on for too long, which I honestly think Metal Slug 3 kinda does with it's final mission lasting way too fucking long

How can that possibly be "the point?" Metal Slug isn't a comedy. It shouldn't be trying to subvert expectations. How the fuck did someone as useful as Marco end up on the front lines if he has skills like that?

>average arcade player
But user, this is Yea Forums, not facebook

I really wish they choose for cartoony 3D models with realistic textures, though.

>must
nah. I'd love to see something MS beyond a run'ngun but if they give me a solid MS game I'll be happy.

It being typed up in some manual locked away from the average player doesn't make it a good lore. I'm sorry, it doesn't. Sorry to spoil your sekret klub credentials.

Where are my [C] Bros at?

Oh! She is cute! Who´s the mom? Fio?

>BOTH. YOU FUCKING IDIOT.
But that's a logical contradiction.
Do you even boolean?

>the Snails Scenes was the only memorable scene
>missing the point again
I'm not talking about that scene/stage, I'm talking about the Fio/Eri animùation that you can only see in that stage.

>because their clothing and artstyle is cliché, unoriginal and doesn't belong to the MS universe.
But that's like, your opinion.

>And yes, a female character can be sexy, but it doesnt have to be her only character trait.
Which happen to be the case for almost every MSA waifus.
For someone who care without caring about the lore, you sure can't look beyond the looks of a character
wew

>this is the average Metal Slug player nowadays
I'm going to /vr/, far away from that degeneracy

>How the fuck did someone as useful as Marco end up on the front lines if he has skills like that?
Read the lore.
The Regular army is corrupt as fuck, mismanagement is common when it's not done on purpose.
Marco fear for his life several time in MSA because of actions that would earn him the disapproval of his superiors.
Morden did nothing wrong.

there was an entire thread that lasted for days about how can samus take a shit.

I don't care about your shitty mobile games, and I don't want theses anime thots fucks to be a part of MS8. Period.
>But that's like, your opinion.
Look at OG MS and MSA and tell me they're from the same universe.
>But that's logical contracdiction
What? Because I can't care about everything that makes a game A GAME?

Isn't the slug animation literally the same as the zombie animation.

Tarma.
See and for a more serious answer but Tarma did help Marco in her "creation"

It seemed like the "Morden is actually the good guy" backwards plot was dropped.

No they're not. They fit the theme and arent fucking anime dressup sword art online looking waifutrash. Yes the gallery was included for that reason, to look at the cute girls who actually blend into the game

Better than that.

The latter (numbered) ones just don't really get talked about. Same goes for 3D and First Attack.

This. I can enjoy a trashy mobile game for its cute waifus and shit, but keep all of that out of the base games. J-pop sluts have no business in a gritty war game. Having Fio and Eri is meeting the waifu quota just fine.

Okay so i'm gonna assume that you hadn't bother looking up what the contexts of games 1-3 were either. Here are some brief sum ups

>MS1 is about containing a rebel insurgency agency the army and the government, the reason being is because Morden a former High officer of the Army Marco works for, got tired of there shady shit. So he and Tarma order against there will to contain the situation and stop the rebels.
>MS2 is basically the realization that the situation has gotten worse the Regular Army had imagine because now Morden's allies faction being getting involved, one of which even happens to be aliens so Marco and the gang are forced to keep fighting even more.
>MS3 is mostly about the rebel army then uncovering and hijacking all the top secret bullshit the Regular Army has been messing with. ((The Mutant Crabs, the Zombie outbreak, the secret pyramid thing,)) aswell as the Aliens taking over the.
>MS4 was basically after the rebel army finally settles down and goes in to hiding, but another copy cat organization is revealing dirt and shit on the government pretrending to be the Morden's rebel army.
>MS5 was about basically a cult funded organization, stealing the Army's prototype slugs and believing it was time to make the government atone with some inter-dimensional demon.
>MS6 was the basically about the Aliens crawling back to because another invading race is coming to not only eat them but take over earth too.
>MS7 is when Morden resumes is activities to overthrow the corrupt governent from troops that come from a timeline where he succeeded in doing so, bringing there future stuff into the past.

I don't know what metal slug attack is about, but i'm pretty sure it has something to do with experimental murder waifus.

We didn't know for sure but MSA confirmed the Rebel Army FAILED in the future so they are trying to change the past instead.
MSA flesh out every factions and introduce some.

Make yourself clear: do you care about the lore or not?
An answer like this
>The story of the game wasn't even mentionned in the arcade game. Only in the manual nobody reads.
heavily imply that you don't.

>THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PREVIOUS GAMES
Except for being direct continuation lorewise?
The MSA waifu were not even there yet so that one argument you can't use.

>AND MOST OF THEM WERE SHITE
Gameplay-wise.
Lorewise, they are still a continuation of the previous games that made sense.

Here's your issue:
You start your post with a dismissive statement about the lore, but the rest of your post use the lore to justify your disdain of the games you don't like.
So which is it? Do you care about the lore or not?

>Now go back to play your shitty cash grabbing games with a million waifus for you to wank on
I will.

>and never reconsider your sad pathetic life.
I won't.

Can't you post pics of my based boyos Marco and Tarma?

-8 playable characters:
Marco, Eri, Tarma, Fio, Trevor, Nadia and two new characters (drop KoF ones)
- remove characters perks/habilities. Let me pick the character i like because of the design and not because of convenience (i usually pick Clark in MS6+ because his skill was optional)
- keep the 2 weapon slots, they add a lot of gameplay value.
- bring back fat mode, with being able to use the new weapons and see their fat mode design.
- drop the rebel army/theme for good and continue the pletamic army theme (or w/e the name is). It really felt fresh seeing a different aproach in MS5 with out losing the style (albeit the humor wasnt the same since MS3). Also it brings many new posibilities of new enemies or level layouts/design. I personally loved the semi-futuristic approach.
- Use all the cut content from MS5. Including Achilles as a POW helper and unlockable character.
- Bring back mummies with a Cairo theme level where you also fight an old army (they could use recomissioned Rebel machinery as a easter egg/ nod to the rebels)
- new weapons:
+ A spread like weapon like the one from Contra
+A chargeable weapon that would fire bigger and stronger shots at the cost of more ammo
-More POW helpers:
+ The scientist from MS4: he could shot infantry and convert them into monkeys which would then act as score items
+ The maneater plant from MS3: again, useful against infantry
- more levels. 5-6 was acceptable baxk then but with the hardware frol today standards they could easily push to 10-14 fully detailed levels. With different routes in all of them.
- balance some weapons, for example:
+ F, S and their respective big versions: set their ammo to 20. Give the F (and big F) the range from MS6 to this item
+ Fire ball: make it so it can lit walls/roofs

I've been telling you that I don't care about the STORY. But I care about the Artstyle and mood of the original games. Thoses are completely different things. Do you even FOCUS?

play 1-3 in that order and if you really like them then look into the others but know they're mostly inferior.

1->X->3 is a fine order. Be prepared for a dip in quality afterwards though.

i think it was that she loved chocolate so much, but hated the idea of getting fat, so she joined the military since she can burn calories like crazy

and then she gets fat again in the ending. As matter of fact i feel like the army keeps her fat to trap her into obligation.

Leona/Ikari team are too popular to NOT be playable.
PM army means Dragunov.
Mummies also got development in MSA featuring this semen demon amongst others.

>drop the rebel army/theme for good
Disgusting.

Again, you only consider MS1-3 as true MS games.
Again, the mood you talk about feature things like clothes melting snails.
As for the artstyle, you only tolerate Fio/Eri/Madoka/Rumi because they were in MS1-3.
You still haven't told me why Rumi/Madoka had a military feel as opposed to the MSA waifus.

would you fuck off already. It doesn't take a genius to see that scantily clad anime sword girls doesn't mesh with the established MS art style.

The Snails appeared in like, ONE LEVEL. You forgot the rest of the game or what?
Also, I didn't say that all of the girls in MSA lack the military mood, but a vast majority of them did. And I tolerate Rumi/Madoka/Eri/Fio because they had one lewd moment in their games. ONE. And their cuteness wasnt their defining trait. So fuck off.
The Post-MS3 games lacked the charm and appeal of the Pre-MS3 games. And if you continue with your lore shit, please see

I wouldn't put it past them

if you don't care about lore then you shouldn't be complaining about waifus. You can't immerse your self into a setting or artstyle and not care about the lore too. makes no damn sense.

I don't know, Allen can fight half naked and people are fine with it.
Destrade does the same but suddenly it doesn't fit the lore?

>The Snails appeared in like, ONE LEVEL
And it's enough to say the devs were cheeky enough to include this kind of thing in the first place.
>And their cuteness wasnt their defining trait
Most people played Eri/Fio BECAUSE they were cute/had cute sprite.

>So fuck off
No.

>And if you continue with your lore shit, please see
I play MSA for the waifus, not the lore and the artstyle is a pretty big influence on the lore which redirect us to >I know the lore of the original games, but like most anons mentionned earlier, I don't care, because the gameplay is the most important aspect.

>drop the rebel army/theme for good
its been used to death. Since its been more than a decade since the last title, continuing with MS5's theme would be sweet. At least one sequel and im good.

What does the ''lore'' have to do with the fact that I don't like SNK to put Anime girls with an appeal that doesn't fit MS's universe? Eh, Tell me?
I don't care about the actual lore of the game, but that doesn't mean that the levels in each installement in the series give me an idea of what IS the MS Universe

and now the have a shitton of new assets to justify this

People bitch and moan about the girls or sexual/cutesey shit
>forgetting about proto-Rumi (home port of MS1 actually expands some lore about her)
>forgetting about ingame appearances of the combat instructors in the home ports and some of Eri's and fro's depiction in art (MSX comes to mind)
>cutesey shit has been used since the beginning like pic related being used to promote the game
>complain about assets being reused after 3 when even the first game used assets from previous games (nevermind that SNK's other series are chock full of reused assets)

Why do people bitch about something that's not new like it was new? Same shit happened with SNK Heroines, people seemed to forget about all the dating sims and shit and all the reused stuff from most of SNK's library.

Not to mention Goddess Athena has been in skimpy outfts since 1986. Girls getting slutted up seor seeing cutesey shit is nothing new in the realm of SNK, it's older than some of the people posting in this thread.

Okay, you lost me. Good bye. You're not a real fan. Literally kill yourself. You're one of the many reasons this board began to be drowned with waifushit threads. Literally suffocate with your own semen and die painfully.

Also, the first thing they so of Fio and Eri was their caricature portraits, not their ''cute'' sprites.
And no, just because a character had ONE lewd scene at some point isn't a reason to make an ENTIRE lewd game out of this.

>but that doesn't mean that the levels in each installement in the series don't give me an idea of what IS the MS Universe
That's exactly what it means though. You're taking everything at face value too much.

Allen can fight half naked, but MSA girls can't because you said so.
That's your argument?
Ikari team/OG characters can go melee but MSA girls can't because you said so.
That's your argument?
As for "anime girl" artstyle, the overwhelming majority of Fio/Eri artwork, official or not, use an anime artstyle.

they can't
nobody can

>You're not a real fan
I've spent more on MSA than you did in your entire life for the MS serie as a whole.
Guess who's more valuable for SNK?

>You're one of the many reasons this board began to be drowned with waifushit threads
What the fuck was the original intention of Yea Forums if not for anime and waifu bullshit? If seeing shit like that across the site is like complaining that the ocean is wet.

Ignore him, he's a newfaggot that came after 2012 and unironically think anime never was a thing here.

Something a little sharper in terms of line work to that chibi Marco wouldn't be too bad as a HD sprite.
The face has a good amount of space for expressions. It's cartoony enough that having jaws dislodge for the zombie would fit.
High level of detail as expected from Metal Slug sprites.
That'd actually look pretty nice.

See Mainly:
>First they are made because they are the ones buying shit and spending money/whale. Reminder SNK is a company, a company's goal is to make money. As you guys are complaining about this stuff, when was the last time you bought a Metal Slug game in some form, I don't just mean firing one up on emulator, but actually buying a copy, be it physical, or one of the hundreds of digital ports or even the ones on the mini. When was the last time you bought some merchandise? As much shit as they get the waifufags send money and buy merchandise.

>Second that stuff is locked behind a free to play mobile, the game may have expanded on the story and all that jazz, people who play it may say they want to have this or that girl in the main game, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that it'll have any bearing on a mainline or console game. In the company proper they're two different sudios/division. It would be like the KoF mobage and mobile crossovers impacted the main KoF games. It hasn't happened.

They don't fit the MS universe. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING SAY?
They look like they got straight out of a shitty cliché anime.
>I've spent more on MSA
You're. Not. A. Real. Fan.
You haven't played the OG games, and you care about the least important things. kill yourself, faggot.

I was there in 2008, you faggot. Boards were indeed full of anime girls, but the threads weren't just about posting shitty art of them. We were discussing about the show they came from, not just saying ''uuuuh god i want her to fuck me''

>Also, the first thing they so of Fio and Eri was their caricature portraits, not their ''cute'' sprites.
ACTUALLY
It would be this since it's the artwork on the cabinet
Also if we're talking arcades its actually VERY likely that you'd see gameplay happening before the character select screen so Eri and Fio's sprites could very well have been the first thing people saw after the official artwork.

imo i love the weird vibe of MS and i always tought it was a good combination of wacky and cool
if anything the only thing that i feel is out of place in MS are some of hte gruesome deaths the characters get, like the spores one, that always freaked me out

Yeah, Look at Fio's face and tell me she doesn't look cute.

>They don't fit the MS universe
Lorewise they do but you said that you don't care about the lore so there's nothing that can be done here.
And you're not answering the question, you're just saying that you don't like them but never actually say why you don't like them.
Artstyle? Fio/Eri also use that artstyle.
Clothes? Allen fight Half-naked.
Backstory? All the MSA waifus have one.

Man you act like all that stuff from the mobile stuff will be pushed into the main games when there's no guarantee for it. Bullshit has always existed like mentioned in . There's also the combat instructors getting softer to liking you has been around since like the home port of the original Metal Slug. It's always been around in one form or another. Rimi's original look was kinda slutty too and that was art from 1.

It's like the people complaining about the girl stuff in Fire emblem, pairings, and the children, all that stuff that's been around since when the original creator was around. The real problem with those games is the self inserts and everyone wanting to suck their dick.

There's more too.

Shill of what? I have no issue admitting MSA is a shotty game, as saif previously I'm playing it for the waifu.

So you suddenly acknowledge waifu dumping threads were actually a common thing when you previously didn't?
Also you missed the Shirley reference when it's probably the most marking thing for the relevant board that year.

Is it that difficult to imagine that people playing the OG MS can also enjoy waifus?
Also can't you enjoy the waifu for what they are?

Cheap unit that can be used as fodder.
I only play Rebel in PvP so I have to use the Blaze Armor but something like Maneater Arche or Morden Robot should do I think.

It's fine, we already had mummies and zombies, can't see why demon (and vampire in MSA) cannot be in MS.

Good lore-wise. PvP is horseshit. I can't really recommend it unless you reall like the lore.

For a phone game it's pretty fun. You won't get a foothold for months though. You better consult a tier list because the power gap between new and original units is astounding.

I unironically laughed my ass off at this. Fuck me

Agreed, fuck you.

I'll have that in mind thanks, right now the most annoying units i always face are that soldier, the teddy bears and that girl inside a drill machine.

Its good if you like games that collect units with their backstory also if you want a game with weekly update seriously every freaking week, that also being its downside they never return an event once it had its run.

I played the GBA slug. Lifebar instead of a one shot kill, although getting killed/falling in a pit is an automatic game over, card collection gimmic that starts you off weaker, but become stronger/even OP (defence, ammo, etc) once you collect certain cards while others are just neat info. It was a departure from what Metal Slug usially is, but for what it was, it was fun. Respawning enemies kinda sucked if you weren
t careful, but since it was on the GBA they couldn't exactly put in hordes of them like usual. I even found a way of controlling the bosses during the boss fights.

Autistic meme crusaders turned out to be even more obnoxious than wojak/pepe- posters so now people are making edits with the two to piss them off.
I mean, just look at that post and tell me it isn't a perfect (you) generator.

Of the people who hate the mobage because of waifushit or whatever (I don't touch them), I wonder when was the last time they bought a metal slug game, whether it was one of the home ports/even just one of the cheap ports that are sold for a couple bucks on sales, or even put a quarter in a machine with a Metal Slug game in it, rather than just playing the games on emulator or explored some of the side stuff in the home ports.

At least some of the waifu fags seem to whale for them even though apparently you don't need to pour money into the game. The mobage and licensing stuff is what gets SNK their biggest share on money now.

Again I don't touch the mobile stuff, nor the digital ports since I like physical stuff. I wish I could've owned some neo geo carts, but I'm too poorfag for that. I've gotten the following when they came out with the exception of X:
>ps1 port of X
>Advance
>4/5 bundle
>the anthology (3 times)
>7 with the special slip cover
>neo Geo mini which basically has all the neo geo slugs
>on several occasions when I was younger I'd spend the better part of the day on a neogeo cab with Metal Slug on it
>one day a friend came over, opened up the jar where I was keeping my kid savings, took all the quarters, went to the nearby mexican store and both spent hours on the two neogeo cabs with Metal Slug games.
The 4/5 bundle was the first time I got to own any metal slug games after seeing/playing them a bunch on arcades. That same friend I mentioned really liked it too, even gave him my copy of 4/5 at one point.

There's more I wish I could have owned like the version of XX that came with a pair of prisoner boxer shorts, the home port of 1, the 3D one even (all of these were jap exclusive), or even the home port of 3 (NA ps2 owners got cucked out of this one due to retarded sony of America policies and that's the only system I had at the time.

Now I wonder, which Slug games do you anons own? Anyone own any NeoGeo carts/cabs or any of the neogeo CD games?

Last Metal Slug game I bought was 3 on Steam, and that ran worse than on my emulators. It was somewhat disappointing.

I did pick up MSA recently, and it's all right, but it tries to jew you all the damn time. Every time you level up it tries to sell you some bullshit.

>chimps are horror

Nope. It has been 19 years and Metal Slug 3 hasn't been surpassed by any other
Platformer/Run N' Gun.

A shame about 3.

It's why I don't touch the mobile stuff, but there's those who are into it I suppose. I mostly try to stick to physical, but since my PSP is dead the PS4 version of XX is tempting, Although I'm kinda holding off for a sale or something since I own 7.

I just hope they make a game with all the characters so far, it would be cool

Also include navel, there's no point of making a character exclusive to pachinco

Honestly not that bad outside of the color palette.

Wonder if the sprites would be recycle, and the new ones will stand out like hell...
...
or is a reboot with 3d graphics like KOF style

because alot of them stand out like hell, and are obviously not in the same bane.
Some fit wearing uniforms and being in robots, and others, are just cats with boobs or a bunny with a sniper

It's so poorly put together that it loops right around to being funny.

I know, most of them doesn't make sense but there's decent characters in the game, like the professor, he can be canon and part of the alien army, they are still alive after MS6-7 so they can return in the 8 game,also we need more morden soldiers,not just the generic ones but I don't like the idea of "we where op all the time but we didn't show up until now" so they need to rewrite some characters, also more kof crossovers would be nice, whip is in MSD/MSA and she can be a good soldier for MS8

shit, where is this from? and how would it work, considering eri and fio are part of SPARROWS and marco and tarma are part of the PF squad?

Loli with giant flame thrower that her special on MSA is making a super pilar of dragon fire.

Don't forget the loli iron fortress

Anyway I always love how the male characters looked cartoon and the female looked like anime girls

That's actually a surprisingly cool design. Dual flamethrowers is a good aesthetic.

i like the samurai girl from msa

People would just call them lazy for recycling (this is what people who ask for them to do so don't get). Around the time that SNK was making games on atomiswave/Naomi boards (think MS6, KoFXI, NGBC, SS6, etc) they were already getting shit and being called lazy for recycling neogeo sprites in general (despite them doing it all throughout the neogo era). There's some people who don't consider Metal Slug games past 3 real Metal Slug games for a few reasons, one of them being the recycling of stuff for some, despite Metal Slug 2 & 3 recycling stuff from 1 and one taking the grunts' voices from another game the devs worked on.

Back when the atomiswave games, the KoF UM games, and the anthologies came out they were already only sold for $20. That was a little more than a decade ago. As much as people say they'd buy, there's no way in hell people would buy for full price or more than $20, hell as much as I love those sprites and bought the aforementioned anthologies and home releases of those games I'd find it tough pay $20 for a standard Metal Slug home release now when I paid just as much for something similar 10 years ago. I'd maybe pay full price it for a collection with as much content as the collector's edition of the SNK 40th anniversary edition (ingame it had a museum with a bunch of history and content about the games) and the Samurai Shodown Neo Geo collection is shaping up to be (they said that they had a bunch of developmental material, designs and sketches available) and they included the combat schools and mini games from the home ports.

>what are your hopes for Metal Slug 8?

Your usual run and gun platforming arcade mode. But also maybe...just maybe a bit of a metriodvania mode as well reusing the arcade mode assets a tad in which one can get hit more than once to at least draw new people in to the series who would feel to shity about being bad at this sort of game. Really a slower paced mode for scrubs and casuals to play with shit involving the metal slug world simply to give the series a boost in popularity.

I know shit wont happen but given the world of metal slug be it if one just includes the mainline games and ignores the mobile shit or not. Has got alot of neato as shit people would enjoy if it was presented to them in a slightly different way.

nice

Battle royale mode

>one can get hit more than once
You'll be surprised, they've done a bunch of stuff in the past to make it easier. That's kinda the reason why Ralf (and other skills exist) exists in the Metal Slug series. Dude can take two shots and punch mechs. His buddy, Clark, can toss enemies up in the air and gains invincibility frames while doing it. Leona can do a moonslash which negates enemy projectiles and acts like [Z] which is already super strong. Other skills exist too like Fio getting 2x ammo and starting off each life with [H], Eri getting 2x bombs, Tarma making the vehicles' health last twice as long and recover some by kicking them (there's a chance it backfires and he damages it), and Marco does 2x damage with the handgun. There's also easy mode from 6, 7/XX which gives off twice the weapon ammo (stacks with Fio's ability), and as is usual for the series with easy difficulties, enemies fire as a slower rate, projectiles are slower and mechs take less damage.

The GBA game did a health system kinda like the vehicles, but once you died it was game over, most home ports let you mess with with the numbers of continues per play (some allowing unlimited) and letting you set the amount of lives per continue. The home port of X, 7, and the GBA game also allowed stage select.

Not to say they shouldn't offer options to make it easier, they have in the past, but one could honestly make it as easy or as tough as one wanted with stuff that the home ports allowed before. Many people's suggestions on how to make it easier have been done in some way, it's just that many are not aware of them since they only play/buy/pirate the arcade versions.

Then there's the special kind of idiot that's just like, it's piss easy, just put in another quarter and pay to win.

As for content, I guess branching missions like in hard corps could be cool.

Rita is a rookie in need of discipline who joined the army so she could go in town and Alma is a scientist who doesn't usually fight and turn into a catgirl because of an experiment.

Literally the Fury from MGS3

Iron Fortress true body is a giant warmachine.
The humor totally fit the MS universe.

Staying true to the original source material and ignoring the mobage shit.

IRAN LIZAH

It's fine, HMT is actually a better stunner while Hathor is more damage oriented.

>cherrypicking
Joke is on you, Navy is also rather unpopular in MSA.

Implement the Mobile Game waifus as playable caracters

Sauce me up

They're a bit limited, animation-wise. I'd settle for them being unique enemies, POWs or other small roles.

WHOAHO!

none the series went down the drain with / after MS 3

Based.

>They're a bit limited, animation-wise
If they do go 3D, it won't matter as they would have to redo the animation for everyone.

I support them being enemies, specially if you can shoot them and kill them

I don't get what dumbfucks that whine about pepe and wojak want. Do you want to go back to 2006-2012 memes?
>HAHAHA LE COCKMONGLER!!!
>LONG CAT IS LOOOOOONG!!!!
Do you seriously think we should go back to that cringey shit? You know, there's the perfect place for you then, it's called Reddit, 9gag, Facebook, and all those other websites. There they still use outdated memes from years ago, I've had plenty of IRL Redditor friends spout shit like long cat in real life.

Want your old cringey outdated memes you used to spout when you were 14? Just move further down the chain, have fun.
