What are your hopes and fears for metal slug 8?

I remember playing that as a kid
can't recall if it was good or not

>Caring about Metal Slug after 5

Trust me, it wasn't, that's why you can't remember it.
I know because I went through the same.

>hopes
it's good
>fears
it's shit

It's decent but certainty much better than 5 and 6

The only thing it lacks is Co op mode

I have no hopes for metal slug 8.
Like c'mon, why even pretend. The next evolution to metal slug, to me, would be HAND DRAWN GRAPHICS. Give it a beautiful ghibli-ish art style.... With level design that allows you to fumble though it, but rewards you for doing well. (an example being this webm. You can't get this ship upgrade if you don't have your ship at this point)

THAT would be my dream metal slug. Most I can expect from metal slug 8 would be the same pixel graphics we've had, which is fine, but level design on par with 7's, and probably very boring looking setpieces on par with 7's once again

Unrealistically I still want it to look like the odl games.

Realistically I of hope they do the characters with unique attributes again, maybe bring some cuties from the mobile game.

Hand drawn graphics are fine and if Metal Slug had it I wouldn't be upset, but for me Metal Slug is all about SNK's pixel art at its best, and I personally think hand drawn would be a disservice to the series.

I'm wondering if this sentiment right here is why we haven't gotten a new game yet. SNK might be scared to release a 3D Metal Slug.

it will be good, it will be shit

/thread

I hope they keep the same style with the sprite animation. I also hope it isn't shit.

I hope they drop that gay coin system for MS8, I don't want to see hundreds of coins on the screen every time I kill an enemy, I'm playing Metal Slug, not fucking Super Mario goddammit

I hope we get 30 missions this time.
Make it a full 60 dollar game that way.
Also I want it all in sprites

It should be 2d (a new pixel art seems unlikely) or 2.5d but i hope they dont make a shitty attempt at another genre like battle royales or that stuff

Also NO inffluence at all from the mobile games. I dont want a waifu infested Metal Slug 8

I hope the classic announcer is an option.

Im not decided. Should they use the old artstyle or try a new one? The old still looks very good to this day, and pixel art has a revival with all the indies. On the cons side, it would be kind of a too safe move if they want to revive the franchise. Maybe a big refresh using the old sprites as models? My biggest fear for MS8 is that we could en with a metal slug with calarts style and very dumbed down difficulty for new audiences

New main Metal Slug in the works
Yes, for consoles

bump

i want a classic arcade mode (6 levels) and an expanded story-mode with more levels that are longer than usual.

I'm cautiously optimistic and waiting for getting actual information on MS8.

I want it to be a visual novel where I can date Morden

>Hopes
60 FPS
Good 2D graphics (unlikely)
Simplicity, no wacky experimental mechanics just a return to form
Ok maybe they can add more characters since that won't harm the gameplay much
>Fears
30 FPS
Dumb length (over 40 minutes would suck ass)
Shmup sections or autoscrollers
Mediocre or crappy 3D graphics
