Gamers: Make a 2-D Contra similar to the originals, but with cutting edge graphics. Konami: Or...we could forgo the side scrolling that fans love, and give gamers blurry PS1/N64 textures. Oh, and let's make sure it looks nothing like any classic Contra games whatsoever.
definitely not your typical contra game but i still think it looks like it could be fun. also, i think the graphics look decent. so i'll give it a shot. and yes i'm picking up the physical version.
John, great video. I hope when the finished version is released it will live up to the expectations that Contra, Super C, and Contra: The Alien Wars provide. Keep the content coming!
actually in my third playthrough I noticed the spread actually hass ammo. I think it may just be that it would be kinda broken if it didn't have some kinda limitation (cus I don't believe its affected by overheating, and since you don't die in one hit like the original game instead its ammo based) personally I loved the demo (I mean I played it three times already) yeah maybe it doesn't look that great but I think it's fun to play, at the very least. especially if the other features they advertised at the end wind up being as cool as they sound this might be a sleeper hit I think!
Fun game and only gets harder the farther you get so its challenging and the Spread Gun becomes available later in the Chaos Assault mission where you will get the Legendary Core part for it.
Lung Ming Played the demo. Its crap. Even if I just look at it as a random twin stick shooter and forget about the contra name, its still bad. Far better twin stick shooters that already exist.
If it weren't for the title screen telling us it's a Contra game, I would have mistaken this for a Mercs (yeah; remember that Capcom arcade shooter?) ripoff! Yet, another loss for Konami 🤦♂️
Not all new games are like this. The tell tale guardians of the galaxy and walking dead games were fantastic. Im also having a lot of fun currently with Dead Cells. Haha 🍻
They are dreadful. I found a frame where if you move forward one step half of the scenery graphics appear, step back they're gone. I'd say this is six months from being finished. A modern system could run a far better version of this easily. Note the PS4 version is much better looking. Another super lazy port.
@@TheDeathOfLucifer The only thing I'll play on the Switch are NINTENDO games!! Mario, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros, Zelda etc. Everything else will be on PS4 if there is a PS4 release
Contra died a long time ago. Contra 4 was decent but too unforgiving. Shattered Soldier was simply playing by rote memory (and had terrible weapons and crappy monochrome design elements.) Neo was okay but too short. I'd say Metal Slug picked up the slack, but it too perished after its third game. Now we have timed weapons. I'm sorry, but this isn't Contra.

Good, Because They can dow whatever they want, so long as it's fun to play.

Looks awesome! Reminds me of dead nation for ps4. Such a fun game
The demo is available for all systems now.
Fun game and only gets harder the farther you get so its challenging and the Spread Gun becomes available later in the Chaos Assault mission where you will get the Legendary Core part for it.
Which Difficult You have to be to get it?
I know the graphics don't look that great but it actually looks pretty fun. I will definitely check it out.
I think it adds a challenge. I think it looks fun to me. I loved Neo Contra and this looks better. I will get it still.
They should have hired Housemarque to make this game.
They'd refuse, they publicly stated they would not be making anymore arcade style games just because they got low sales on the last one.
3 mins in and I can easily say...this is NOT Contra! This is much worse than I feared...

Does the Konmai code work?
Here's hoping right?
My god that texture mapping, doing the N64 right
I absolutely love the original Contra on the NES! I beat it 30 years ago with the lives code.
that's the only way I could beat it.
This looks like a remake of the horrible 3D Contra games on the PS1.
Not even close dummy.
It's timed because it's over powered in this game
Is It good for 4 bucks?

This reminds me of Expendable that I had on Sega Dreamcast or the more recent Bombshell I have on Steam.
This game reminds me of that budget downloadable title on the PS3 “Zombie Apocalypse”
I loved that game
This is not a Contra game. This is a crappy shooter with the Contra name slapped on it.
John, where did you get the Voltron shirt? And my daughter wants to know where your daughter got the Spider Gwen costume.
This demo represents why I am a retro gamer only. Absolutely no style, personality, atmosphere or charm. Its just so cold and empty.
Not all new games are like this. The tell tale guardians of the galaxy and walking dead games were fantastic. Im also having a lot of fun currently with Dead Cells. Haha 🍻
Just because I like and share doesn’t mean I condone this sort of 3D blasphemy committed against my beloved original Contra.
This Contra game is a madhouse...a MADHOUSEEEEEE! Seriously, it looks and feels like a Legacy of War remake for PS2 with bad graphics. RIP Konami.
YUP....ill just stick with the contra collection!
Just port Hard Corps to the Switch 😁😁😁
It's already on switch
@@duffman18 I meant Uprising. That was a sweet game.
If every other nes franchise can grow and transform why not contra?
This... this doesn't even compete with Neo Contra. This isn't Contra at all.
Definitely not Contra.
Yeah, that's a hard pass for me, Konami
I'm not very impressed with the graphics of this game
They are dreadful. I found a frame where if you move forward one step half of the scenery graphics appear, step back they're gone. I'd say this is six months from being finished.

Idk why most people are playing it on the Switch, it's not well optimized
@@TheDeathOfLucifer clearly but there is absolutely no excuse for it, nothing taxing or special going on for it to be dumbed down.

I think it adds to the aesthetic. Than again im not the picky type when it comes to graphics. Variety is the spice of life.
There’s a demo on the NA eShop for those that wanta play this blurry garbage mess...
I think you should still give it a chance. And thanks I'll play it later today and see.
this game looks like it plays like booty
Hi john riggs everyone should get this game right John Riggs your the best hard working man in the world and keep up the good work ☺your awesome John😃
you're too kind
Contra died a long time ago. Contra 4 was decent but too unforgiving. Shattered Soldier was simply playing by rote memory (and had terrible weapons and crappy monochrome design elements.) Neo was okay but too short.
I'd say Metal Slug picked up the slack, but it too perished after its third game.
Now we have timed weapons. I'm sorry, but this isn't Contra.
My guess you having played Rebirth or Uprising.
Idiots made it M for cussing???
Man this game looks really bad
It looks awful
Think of it this way it's a good lookin PS1 game we didn't get till now.
