[QUOTE=elitehakor;43699661][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5168294/avatar%20shit/requests/marco.png[/img] it's 80x140 but oh well[/QUOTE] works for me!
[QUOTE=StoneRabbit;43698293] The originals are way funnier : [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/C2XD3M7.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I don't know why, but everything about this says "the 90's". Never played Metal Slug before though. Maybe I should give it a go.
[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;43698365]Aaand there goes Fio being my favourite character.[/QUOTE] The characters have always been drawn in an anime style in some of the official art though [img]http://puu.sh/6Bpqs.jpg[/img]
What! Awesome, didn't see that coming
[QUOTE=e_k_M;43698444]i guess they didnt want them to look "american?" to appeal to the Japanese pc market? after reading the metal slug wiki i find out that those select screen photos are the same as the smart phone port of metal slug 3[/QUOTE] That's because the developer working on the Steam version also worked on the phone version. I think the main menu is even the same.
[QUOTE=ashxu;43697687][url]http://steamcommunity.com/app/250180/discussions/0/558746089657210648/[/url] you can post there and like/follow them on facebook/twitter if you want a key. Not sure how or if you're gonna get one but I got one a few hours after I posted in that thread. Haven't played online yet but so far the game works fine, there's still that game slowdown like the original when there's a lot of shit on the screen and you only get 5 credits. The game detected my arcade stick correctly and all the expected resolution options + options for if you want a smoothing filter + scanlines over your game if you want.[/QUOTE] Is there some sort of fps cap as well? I was hoping to play this game at a constant 120fps.
No cards, no buy loljk time for co-op with my friends
[QUOTE=Lamar;43700698]Is there some sort of fps cap as well? I was hoping to play this game at a constant 120fps.[/QUOTE] The actual game itself probably runs at 60fps anyway, the actual game itself is emulated, complete with slowdowns due to a lot of explosions on the screen. All Metal Slug versions have that though, no where to get around it unless SNK decides to actually make a real remake of the game.

I don't mind the more anime-style selection pics, even if it means it's not an absolutely pure experience, but they really didn't need to take the original background image, awkwardly stretch it out to fit the aspect ratio, and then put a rusty filter over it to make it fit the other new menus. It just doesn't look right.

FUCK YES, I remember playing this on an old arcade machine with my older brother when we were little.
[img_thumb]http://puu.sh/6CbWG.jpg[/img_thumb] aw yiss, even gave a 2nd beta key to give to a friend for co-op
Why can't I get a beta key?! I own the cabinet!!! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KNNUDiA.jpg[/IMG]
theyve stopped giving keys for posting in the forums, only way now is facebook and twitter
[QUOTE=acds;43698503]Gonna need one hell of a source on that. [editline]28th January 2014[/editline] fucking[/QUOTE] There was a YT interview of the Nazca staff that showed them doing 3d model to sprite rendering for game objects (players, vehicles, etc.) but it seems to have been removed (DMCA takedown.) The backdrops were hand drawn though. It's not really that hard to believe because many 2D games have done it over the years and continue to do so. Here's a tutorial on how it works: [url]http://forums.blackseastudios.com/showthread.php?p=16056[/url]
[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;43698216]Funfact: the sprites were rendered from 3D models.[/QUOTE] Rather late, but that's somewhat true. They used 3D stuff for MS 6/7 backgrounds. I mean look at it, you can plainly see the difference. MS2 [IMG]http://puu.sh/6CnKJ.png[/IMG] MS6/7 [IMG]http://puu.sh/6CnMU.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://puu.sh/6CnUx.jpg[/IMG] There's no way you can hand-make something like the ones in MS6/7.
[QUOTE=Wormy;43710296]How do you get notified if you get a key? I posted on the Steam forums 6 hours after the whole thing was announced, and I have shared and favorited the tweet.[/QUOTE] i got added by a SNK guy with a steamworks dev badge, just gave me 2 keys over steam chat
[QUOTE=Furnost;43711221]i got added by a SNK guy with a steamworks dev badge, just gave me 2 keys over steam chat[/QUOTE] Yep. Game's been working fine for me Offline but Online... well it desynced very often for me and my friend. Hope they fix that soon.

[QUOTE=avincent;43708922]Why can't I get a beta key?! I own the cabinet!!! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KNNUDiA.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Can I stay overnight at your house?
Oh god, I can't wait to get hold of this. I used to play these games for hours with my little brother. :dance: Seriously one of my favorite games for just kicking back and having mindless fun.
[QUOTE=avincent;43708922]Why can't I get a beta key?! I own the cabinet!!! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KNNUDiA.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] But do you actually own Metal Slug? Or do you have one of those 110-n-1 AES pirate carts with a game selection screen?
aw shit son [video=youtube;AbzRhQMUvxA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbzRhQMUvxA[/video]
