Plus, they made using the metal slug tank awkward to control and clumsy as heck, added a sniper rifle that has no place in run-&-gun shooters, and really wooden voice performances.
yeah i mean, even if they made it 2.5D they could do something nice (just get some great 3D animators on the team and blammo). as it is, this game feels lifeless.
Well now you do. I knew this existed a few years back, I was looking for concept art for Metal Slug at the time because I love the style so damn much, but I didn’t know there was actual English voice work done for it. So we both found out something interesting today and the world seem all the brighter for it.
To be fair, though not Japan-Only, the original Resident Evil used the same English voices in both the English and Japanese versions. The likely story is that the Japanese voices they attempted to have didn't sound right.
@@thesniperofstalingrad7556 I though the Girida O was usually colored black, the one that could aim in all directions and shoots the one cannon ball shot. The Di Cokka is the big green one who's shots you can avoid by crouching? It fires three in rapid succession, and they look like Ki blasts. This is what the wiki says, and my memory, but it might be wrong
The main issue here is that this needs dual analog stick shooter mechanics in a much more open environment and free form aiming, and this is like plenty of those old game transitions where the camera assists you when moving left and right, screwing you up at times, and you use automatic target locking. The game had more freeform aiming which was quicker, which a 3D version needs.

Metal Slug should be 2D only. Not that this was a bad effort, but it feels so weird; feels like Metal Slug is one of those games where it should stay 2D that is what it did best.
Purple Stoner Midget™ Well who said you can't? The textbox may be in Japanese but they're vocally speaking English XD for some, very, very strange reason; sure as hell wish more Japanese games did this. Anyway, just go on eBay, order it and pop it into your Playstation 2. Easy as that.
buts thats why the guys who makes are afraid to inovate , because some gamers just come with a hammer o hating above their games instead of looking like another game and this is wat make them look idiots (and soorry if write something wrong my english stil in work )
gam ledda I think the reason why they stuck with 2D, even in the twenty-first century, is because it would be too hard to make a 3D game look that phenomenal. I bet they are just waiting for a time where 3D graphics can hit the same peak as 2D graphics did in the nineties so that they can make the player lose their mind if the game is the real world or not. It makes sense, given they stopped making 2D games and I bet they are in the lab right now trying to figure out how to make a 3D game that can look just as good as the 2D ones did. And, let me tell you, those 2D ones DID look far ahead of their time. The animations were just so superb and refined. I bet they might deliver something so tremendous that they will go bankrupt again.
At least this game is better than FF:StreetWise, Castlevania64, Mega Man X7 EarthWorm Jim 3D, Prince of Persia3D and ALL the Contra 3d games. In fact this game is a downright fucking masterpiece compared to them.

To be honest, I have not played this yet, but is it really that bad? The gameplay looks solid as hell to me, and the soundtrack is fantastic. The voice acting is also cheesy, but it's good enough. I don't care about the lack of polygons, but what really screws with me is the textures. They look muddy and dull- they could have done a better job there. Either way, it doesn't look that bad. Also, damn, it's gettin' hot.
The gameplay. They hate it, because it so easy to have an auto lock on, like The 3rd Birthday on PlayStation Portable. Secondly, the weapon changing and SLUG customization systems seemed too complex for them, and they only wanted the classy ways just equip it and use it until the ammunition runs out then switch to handgun. Third, about the level designs, they think they needed it to be in side scrolling style with full 2D graphic, which they think it gives them a brand new way. Fourth, voices. I dunno why they hate the game as this was the first Metal Slug game that has voices. Wonder if they really enjoy the game without character voices? Personally, 2D to 3D is not a bad thing to do as SNK doesn't wanted to be left behind the times. Staying in 2D styles seems boring for me as it doesn't give me anything new. Bandai Namco had made their Tales games in 3D as well just because they don't want to be left behind the times. Giving them a credit of trying, and of course, KoF XIV, with the graphic updates.
people with your pride, can't admit you all enjoy yourself playing this game, you love graphics go watch a movie instead, don't waste your time playing, this game is created to be played with, I did enjoy the new challenge of 3D warfare
To me, Metal Slug and its cartoony style always reminded me of Asterix: a very light-hearted portrayal of underdog armies against a super power. The protagonists are superhumans who rely on a trump card (the magic potion/metal slug) to always one-man their way through waves and waves of the *same* incompetent soldiers, who always employ the *same* half-baked and fruitless tactics, and are led by a caricature of an actual dictator (Julius Caesar/Morden). It was nice that we got “Metal Slug: the Movie” in the form of of a PS2 game, but the plot isn’t what I had in mind. It takes itself way too seriously, despite the franchise’s comical nature.
laskolasko Which is even funnier when Marco's the only one of the 4 protagonists that's American. (Fio's Italian, Eri and Tarma are Japanese XD) Also, it's painful trying to understand Oguma (the antagonist) when he talks so damn quiet!
I prefer the 2D versions of the game but this was a decent attempt to bring it in 3D but like everyone else will prefer the 2D ones but thanks for the longplay.
I think this game would be much better if they did a few things differently; Fixed the bad third person camera/add in a first person option, update the graphics, replicated the 2D death animations in 3D (especially for big vehicles), and make the gameplay more complex by forcing the user to adopt certain strategies for difficult groups of enemies. I'm probably missing some things but this is a good start Edit: I also think it should go battlefield style and have the ability for the player to call in allied units to help fight large waves of enemy forces
It's not that bad as first attempt. Camera management is terrible, cutscenes are too static and few animations should have been faster, like the item acquiring ones that are too slow and not fitting the mood. Besides this it looks as a entertaining game, one that I would gladly play and it's always Metal Slug.
This is basically the Sonic 06 of the Metal Slug serie -It came in 2006 -The game name is Metal Slug (like how Sonic 06 is basically Sonic The Hedgehog) -It's an anniversary title (10 years of Metal Slug) -Is a 3D game from a serie that began in 2D -The game focuses more on story (with cheesy cutscenes and dub) than gameplay -The camera is awful -The music is the only good thing about these games -And finally the comapies made them because they were too faithful for their respective franchises
I'm just gonna say this so please don't criticize me for this. While I appreciate SNK tried something new, it's an incredibly flawed game. It feels like Sonic 06 in a way but at least with those 2 games, they have some good qualities like the music but still very flawed. They are not the absolute worst but they certainly deserve better. If they ever want to make another Metal Slug 3D game, make the controls less clunky, better voice acting, a decent story, high quality graphics, and the charm that the series is known. You can still have the Garage shop but why not add more to the game? How bout switching soldiers if one soldier is low on health, another can take their place. Borrow traits from MS 6 like Marco's handgun deals more damage, Eri can aim her grenades better, etc. Have the cover system so that you don't get yourself killed. Ideas like that CAN work, they just need to try, that's all. Or just stick to 2D.
The voice acting dialogue is about on par with RE Directors Cut still entertaining enough to consider a playthrough of it myself if I bought a copy of it online off PlayAsia would it be playable on my PS2 without having to mod the console?
The cutscenes are cringe to the max. The setup for movement and stuff looks fun. The initial AI challenges are AWFUL (they have to melee and stand there doing nothing). Needs more dakka or to drop the autoaim.
sebastian do you happen to 1: own an xbox one/playstation 4 and play on them all the time 2:cod is your favourite game series 3:judge games by if they are 3d or have good graphics (ugh i hate saying that word) 4:live in america and complain about dark soul's difficulty if you said yes to all of these questions you are a filfy console casual (no offense) if you answered yes to 3 then go play outside for once if you answered 2 you are slightly irritating if you said yes to 1 you are either normal or just leaving high school if you said yes to none congrats you are not a scumbag now watch what you say on the net
I don't see the issue, this game is clearly 10/10. It's rare we get such hot garbage from an otherwise well esteemed franchise, it's almost like it is a parody, like it's meant to be so bad that it's good.
This game is clearly not very good but I can't bring myself to hate it since you can tell they were clearly trying to emulate what makes metal slug the series that it is into 3D. But it's just one of those cases where it was better left in 2D.
This doesn’t look as good as the rest of the 2D games in the series but Holy Shit if this wasn’t a spirited attempt to bring it into the third dimension. This reminds me an awful lot like Megaman Legends, doesn’t translate well to 3D but is as fucking fun as anything… … … Why haven’t they released Megaman Legends on PSN. I need to find my copy of Tron Bonne.
The people talks just bad thing about this game. Personally im not see it really bad. im see many problems. The level design, the awkward menus, the camera,the auto targeting system, the voices, etc. But, with all this problems, the game concept itself, on fact it works. The gameplay looks pretty solid. It's not the sunken ship at level of sonic games that all the world says. To make it an funtionaly game, is necesary restructure it entirely. Editing the menus to make it more "organics", replacing the soundtrack including voices, adjusting the cameras, and finishing the translation to english. Im realise is not a good Metal Slug game, but i dont know why the people says that its irreparable.
This game strongly reminds me of Lone Soldier of ps1. I played that game again last week and I cracked up laughing. But despite people call it bad, suck, worst or else, if you enjoy it, those words would be invalid. Including mmx7
what makes me love this game is that it took tons of bullets using any guns to take down Vehicles, the game is detailed enough even if it has bad reviews atleast the game itself is fun.
Look alright. Only if the controls were easier and the camera movement more smoother and responsive. I wonder if SNK will ever try to do another 3D Metal Slug game?
ikagura So you mean my Tales of Zestiria I bought just then along with Tales of Berseria should stay in 2D as well right? Like in the Tales of Eternia for PSP?
ikagura Also, God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2 Rage Burst I bought from Steam as well playing them like the classy Metal Slug arcade style as well. Right?
If it had gotten a domestic release, and the camera wasn't so erratically all over the place, I think it would've been a decent game worth owning. Granted very few games can even think about touching the majesty that is Metal Slug 3, let alone this entry in the franchise, but it still could've been a worthwhile title. It's a shame SNK didn't seem to believe in it themselves.
I know I’ll get hated for this... There was a time where I’ve meet these video game and trading cards merchants , whom are gamers themselves and mentioned how they played Metal Slug in their gaming consoles.When they mentioned that they played the entire series, I asked them, “Did you play Metal Slug 3D?” And they were like “There was a Metal Slug game in 3D?” Which I responded “Yes and if you haven’t the game that means you didn’t played the entire series.” You can say they’re quite interested and impressed after I showed them the intro of this game.

Part of the appeal of Metal Slug are the funny and impossibly detailed animations. If you take them away something is lost.
Plus, they made using the metal slug tank awkward to control and clumsy as heck, added a sniper rifle that has no place in run-&-gun shooters, and really wooden voice performances.
Funny includes the guy standing with a yellow hair and beard, carrying an item with his underwear.

yeah i mean, even if they made it 2.5D they could do something nice (just get some great 3D animators on the team and blammo). as it is, this game feels lifeless.
They probably hoped to spawn a new 3D series to carry the franchise forward. It's pretty faithful to the originals, although the gore is missing.

Camera management is terrible, cutscenes are too static and few animations should have been faster, like the item acquiring ones that are too slow and not fitting the mood. Besides this it looks as a entertaining game, one that I would gladly play and it's always Metal Slug.
Ah, Metal Slug 3D, though I cannot fathom what made me search for you so many years later, I can still say: _so bad it's good_.
This looks fun. I never knew Metal Slug had a 3d game.
It's okay I guess. By 2D-to-3D game standards, it's not Super Mario 64, but it's certainly better than that one Final Fight game.
Metal Slug should stay 2D
@@ikagura nah, maybe retain side scrolling, but keep the 3D graphics, just like the Metroid II remake for the Nintendo 3DS.
No, gorgeous 2D sprites > wierd low poly 3D models
@@ikagura 2d sprites do look really good in most games but I do agree metal slug should go 3d . I mean not like this better
Never heard of this game, now I know why.
I always wondered: who's the dude making the voice?
This is basically the Sonic 06 of the Metal Slug serie
-It came in 2006
-The game name is Metal Slug (like how Sonic 06 is basically Sonic The Hedgehog)
-It's an anniversary title (10 years of Metal Slug)
-Is a 3D game from a serie that began in 2D
-The game focuses more on story (with cheesy cutscenes and dub) than gameplay
-The camera is awful
-The music is the only good thing about these games
-And finally the comapies made them because they were too faithful for their respective franchises
Metal Slug 3D = Sonic the Hedgehog 2006
Wow, the voice acting is so wooden it's painful. Still I wouldn't mind seeing a 3d Metal Slug game using the Lost Planet engine.
I'm just gonna say this so please don't criticize me for this. While I appreciate SNK tried something new, it's an incredibly flawed game. It feels like Sonic 06 in a way but at least with those 2 games, they have some good qualities like the music but still very flawed. They are not the absolute worst but they certainly deserve better. If they ever want to make another Metal Slug 3D game, make the controls less clunky, better voice acting, a decent story, high quality graphics, and the charm that the series is known. You can still have the Garage shop but why not add more to the game? How bout switching soldiers if one soldier is low on health, another can take their place. Borrow traits from MS 6 like Marco's handgun deals more damage, Eri can aim her grenades better, etc. Have the cover system so that you don't get yourself killed. Ideas like that CAN work, they just need to try, that's all. Or just stick to 2D.
Sonic 2006 should have never existed
Silver: IT'S NO USE!!
The voice acting dialogue is about on par with RE Directors Cut still entertaining enough to consider a playthrough of it myself if I bought a copy of it online off PlayAsia would it be playable on my PS2 without having to mod the console?
Nice video though I'm a little annoyed how the Iron Lizard and the Laser Gun weren't used at all and I was wondering how they even functioned
I CANNOT believe this game exists. I....oh my god. What an abomination. What were they thinking?
And the sad was on its 10 year anniversary.
At least Metal Slug Anthology the same year. So a neutral?
Nope. It's positive. This is a change of pace from the usual 2D SNK used to do.
The cutscenes are cringe to the max. The setup for movement and stuff looks fun. The initial AI challenges are AWFUL (they have to melee and stand there doing nothing). Needs more dakka or to drop the autoaim.
***** Manual aim will not make the game more exciting. More dakka would also remove the excitement of the game in exchange for frustration.
sebastian do you happen to
1: own an xbox one/playstation 4 and play on them all the time
2:cod is your favourite game series
3:judge games by if they are 3d or have good graphics (ugh i hate saying that word)
4:live in america and complain about dark soul's difficulty
if you said yes to all of these questions you are a filfy console casual (no offense)
if you answered yes to 3 then go play outside for once
if you answered 2 you are slightly irritating
if you said yes to 1 you are either normal or just leaving high school
if you said yes to none congrats you are not a scumbag
now watch what you say on the net
Hey tarma wake up it's mission time 🙂
Several minutes playing: *the player never had a single death*
The one I like in 3D
Slug Customization!
Painting Black on my Slug XD
2:55:07 is that Akira reference?
I don't see the issue, this game is clearly 10/10. It's rare we get such hot garbage from an otherwise well esteemed franchise, it's almost like it is a parody, like it's meant to be so bad that it's good.
Metal Slug like Earthworm Jim, only in 2D.
Agreed
dat camera...
jo go changes on the automatic form
This game is clearly not very good but I can't bring myself to hate it since you can tell they were clearly trying to emulate what makes metal slug the series that it is into 3D. But it's just one of those cases where it was better left in 2D.
14:08
Rebel soldier? But different in this color? Its color blue not green
I think it's an ally soldier, not a rebel. Hence the color.
This doesn’t look as good as the rest of the 2D games in the series but Holy Shit if this wasn’t a spirited attempt to bring it into the third dimension. This reminds me an awful lot like Megaman Legends, doesn’t translate well to 3D but is as fucking fun as anything…
…
… Why haven’t they released Megaman Legends on PSN. I need to find my copy of Tron Bonne.
Megaman Legends is very good imo
Some franchise should stay in 2D
The people talks just bad thing about this game.
Personally im not see it really bad.
im see many problems.
The level design, the awkward menus, the camera,the auto targeting system, the voices, etc.
But, with all this problems, the game concept itself, on fact it works.
The gameplay looks pretty solid.
It's not the sunken ship at level of sonic games that all the world says.
To make it an funtionaly game, is necesary restructure it entirely.
Editing the menus to make it more "organics", replacing the soundtrack including voices, adjusting the cameras, and finishing the translation to english.
Im realise is not a good Metal Slug game, but i dont know why the people says that its irreparable.
This series will not meant to be played in 3d
I love this Game so much it’s so amazing when I was young I played in 2011
I had the same with Megaman X7, guess what, it was still fun.
This game strongly reminds me of Lone Soldier of ps1. I played that game again last week and I cracked up laughing. But despite people call it bad, suck, worst or else, if you enjoy it, those words would be invalid.
Including mmx7
what makes me love this game is that it took tons of bullets using any guns to take down Vehicles, the game is detailed enough even if it has bad reviews atleast the game itself is fun.
Why did you ditch your Slug at 31:38?
Angel IV Esguerra because in the 3d world it handles like shit to the tank controls.
The characters look horrible yet I want to play this! I never even knew this game existed
are you kidding?
i mean, 20 ads in one video??
A "3-hour video"
Fuck Google and TH-cam
You know what's a good 3D Metal Slug game?
Action Doom.
Maybe a 2.5D metal slug would be great!
Look alright.
Only if the controls were easier and the camera movement more smoother and responsive.
I wonder if SNK will ever try to do another 3D Metal Slug game?
Why the fuck they thought is a good idea to make a 2D game to 3D, it will never work. God the animation in the original series is so good !
is not that bad, and the transition from 2d to 3d has worked on other franchised so maybe they wanted to do it as well, but didnt go as they espected
11:52
Heck face you are, allen
Marco's thoughts on the ultimate metal slug was funny
Remember kids, 2D is always the best
ikagura
So you mean my Tales of Zestiria I bought just then along with Tales of Berseria should stay in 2D as well right? Like in the Tales of Eternia for PSP?
ikagura
Also, God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2 Rage Burst I bought from Steam as well playing them like the classy Metal Slug arcade style as well. Right?
I dunno about these games but 2D graphims always age better than 3D
@@KazenoVincent Tales of Phantasia is still better.
Was this released in the states? And if this was a franchise how come there was no movie or tv series or books of this?
If it had gotten a domestic release, and the camera wasn't so erratically all over the place, I think it would've been a decent game worth owning. Granted very few games can even think about touching the majesty that is Metal Slug 3, let alone this entry in the franchise, but it still could've been a worthwhile title. It's a shame SNK didn't seem to believe in it themselves.
Metal Slug like Contra, only in 2D.
Martinoz O Castlevania too but CV on PS2 was great in my option.
I know I’ll get hated for this...
There was a time where I’ve meet these video game and trading cards merchants , whom are gamers themselves and mentioned how they played Metal Slug in their gaming consoles.When they mentioned that they played the entire series, I asked them, “Did you play Metal Slug 3D?” And they were like “There was a Metal Slug game in 3D?” Which I responded “Yes and if you haven’t the game that means you didn’t played the entire series.” You can say they’re quite interested and impressed
after I showed them the intro of this game.
Why is the voices are English but the game is Japanese
beast gamer22 LOGIC
When i was a kid i remember this one differently....
This is weird
But music slaps, because Metal Slug
A la ve4ga las críticas, ¡lanzalo en el resto del mundo!!
People saying the game was bad didn't played it. It was quite fun.
I love this game.
The extended cutscenes reminds me of Metal Gear Solid series.
I miss my game :(
Metal Slug THREE DEE?!! A fantasy come true...
1:00:35
*Me:* This is a great opportunity for the Iron Lizard
*OP: Shoots in everything else*
for those who think Metal Slug 4 is the black sheep of the family...
Graphics and cutscenes reminds me with Sonic Adventure
THE BEST METAL SLUG
I want a remaster or a remake of this Metal Slug for ps4 and ps5
At least final boss theme was splendid.
