E3 2010 Hard Corps Uprising
http://youtu.be/r3DzGdgz8LU
It's hitting the XBAL&PSN this year suposely.
I wonder if it will be as good as the PCE Contra game. Ooops.. sorry!
Anyway, at least with ARC, the "sprites" will be high resolution. If it were Capcom, they'd be low-res. Remember the Capcom Dreamcast fighting games? Back then ARC did high-res work on Dreamcast games. Now I'm just waiting to find out which character in this new Contra game will be dude dressed as a chick.
this is not a contra!

Well it is sprite based some thing the recent rocket knight adventure lacked...
this looks pretty fun.
at least the sprites aren't tarded 3D models in a 2D world, or something fugly.

I worry about the article writer:
QuoteI got to play a bit of Hard Corpse recently and came away excited.
Haha, NecroPhile 4 lyfe!
This game does look awesome. To me, this is more of a Contra game than the underwhelming Contra Rebirth on Wii. I can't wait to really lay into this hard corpse with everything I got.
Hard Corpse :lol:

People actually liked Contra Rebirth? I still haven't bought Gradius or Castlevania Rebirth because I was disappointed with Contra Rebirth.

Probotector!
Contra WiiBirth wasn't bad. Castlavania WiiBirth is MUCH better. Gradius WiiBirth looked like an unwiped, crusty anus. ALL downlaodable games are supposed to be mega-short.

It's a Contra game.
Really?
Yep.
Then why isn't "Contra" in the official title, you assnut??
Oh, go fuck yourself!
Maybe later. ;) But for now I DEMAND an answer!
Because it is en vogue to play word games with titles these days. Is The Dark Knight not a Batman movie because it does not have "Batman" in the title? It's hip and trendy, like not numbering sequels any more. Notice that there is no game called Silent Hill 7. But there are 7 Silent Hill games and an 8th coming soon. Sooo hip and trendy. Damn hippies.
But for me, it is no contra b-coz it does not really look nor feel like a contra.

Writeing the game off befor it's even out !? It may not look like a contra title but if it's run'n'gun gameplay is any good,i'll give it a shot.

What the hell was wrong with Contra Rebirth? I had a F*cking BLAST playing through that with friends! Castlevania was great too!! I WANT MOAR DAMMIT!!
Maybe you miss the Saturn and Playstation Contra games? Are those the Contra titles you grew up with?
hmm, someone gets something wrong in here :-k
Contra games really should at least be dark and gritty. Not look like an anime.

Who, me? No I already said that I enjoyed Contra and especially Castlevania WiiBirth. Those Saturn/Playstation Contras sucked balls! I even have a hard time accepting Shattered Soldier because the only color in the game is brown. Reminds me of my toilet after a fun bout of diarrhea.
Contra Rebirth is a crappy Contra 3. The game just isn't as well done in ever regard.
Since it is so many years later, I imagine the game would get better?
Then again, Contra Force did follow Contra and Super C, and that game is the worst of all.
Wasnt Contra Force only US released and was based on a game that was cancelled in japan that had nothing to do with Contra in the first place?
Well with Konami and most other big companies outsourcing to other studios and just becoming the publisher, of course the games are not going to be as good. At least it's not the 32-bit age Contra's. Then again this game isn't even Contra.
'fraid it is.
So it's supposedly a successor to the Genesis/MD game? Hmm...then why the hell is it so damn slow? It's too Arc System Worksish. If it was faster paced and you had no life bar I'd maybe like it a tad more. I do know the MD version of Contra Hard Corps had sort of an energy bar, and Konami US got rid of it for the Genesis. How far along is this game in development?

Unfortunately and watching over the past 15 years, most of the 2D games have proven the pure contrary (with some exceptions), and the trend shows no sign of changes.
Now even houly Cave became one of those ugly render bastards.
I'm just glad, that I have still tons of classic 2D games in the pipeline which have to be (re-)played.
