It wouldn't be so bad if they were in the same arrangement as the arcade, but they weren't. You actually couldn't change the configuration. You were FORCED to have these 'optimised' piece of crap graphics - long gone were the pixels and it looked like it was painted in water colours! If you could look past that, there was one thing no slugger could over look - controls. To this day, nothing upsets me more than the digital version of XBOX 360 Slug 3. At this point, I started to get disillusioned with these money spinners. Time went on and then we were given the Xbox 360 digital download. It came out on the xbox (original), and that was pretty much the same story.
Metal slug 3 ps4 ps2#
I even got the Japanese Ps2 version because of the artwork. I still found myself playing my AES copy. Still - i'm not comparing extras, I'm comparing METAL SLUG 3, the arcade game. You could compete with a friend to eat the most if I recall correctly. They were very blurry but credit to it's makers, it was actually decent. But the graphics, they didn't do the game justice. Playstation 2 version was nice because it had some neat little modes.
I've even observed this 'neo dev' nonsense trying to rip off metal slug - and the way they would jump in a game made 15 years later didn't TOUCH what the SNK Dream team made. The insanely amazing pixel art that still, to this day, in a world polluted with 'indie game = pixel art', nothing touches. The scenes where you would dip in through the clouds and then a jetpack. I fell in love with the vehicle you see in my avatar, my username. And the next time you do it, you'll realise that you shot at the floor and mushrooms popped up that you NEVER knew were there in 11 years for an extra 100,000 points. And chances are, you'll lose your motivation to finish the level because you won't beat your high score. It's really about points - surviving the levels with prisoners in hand. And let me talk about that for a second - because - to really play metal slug is not to finish the game. It mocked it's customers with it's insane difficulty. It was so funny, to think that someone who was Japanese took the time to actually write something like that on the levels, I knew this was for me. And I wonder how many people know who will read this what those banners said. I would laugh because no one knew what the arabic said on the backgrounds of the levels in metal slug 1, 2 and X.
I've followed metal slug since way back in the days when arcades were more than something that existed in museums or eBay, or threads entitled 'members gallery'. You couldn't change that in the settings. The AES version you see, had no credit options - you had lives. It was 23:45 and I didn't care about the world. I risked entering 2001 with an AES stick in my hand, away from my family as the clock struck 00:00. I started a game without realising what time it would be if I kept playing.
