Honestly, I don't know how I feel about it.
while its good to see an old game revived, I disliked the graphics a lot.

It looks like it plays better than the original Arcade, The graphics are not too bad but the animation offsets need redoing and the sound fx need completely changing.

I dunno, really. I saw better versions on OpenBOR*. The fight lacks that "oomph".

*Btw, this is getting more common each day.
 
Cell shaded characters and more cartoony backgrounds than the original game...

animations look good but slow....

those ligh effects are wasted on those flat-ish backgrounds

for Funk's sake , why cant they remake levels like this anymore?

but Oldyz, look how wonky and weird Rick & the montsters animations are....

the 3D model's animations can be made to behave like 2D sprites like in smash brothers or dragonball fighterz

and the 3d models can be textured like this:

And there is the issue that the bodies wil probably fade or dissapear....

i knew there where going to F$%k it up somewhere

positives
4 players - it had to be done


the 4th character is going to be Hong Hua's sister?

Or are they going to go with Original character miniskirt blonde, Huge wrestler blonde guy, NInja Teen, or Chainsaw white man?
 
The remake looks interesting but I'm still wondering of gameplay mechanics which aren't shown yet such as charging attack, supers/specials and team attacks. At least, I can see Chris' alternate color which answers my question about 4 players mode.
 
Sorry but so far I didn’t like what I’m seeing. The drawing style makes it look too cartoonish, that much that I don’t think gore fit with the style. Night Slashers had that special plus of being perhaps the only gory beat’em up in arcades and the pixel art is just great.
I understand the game is still in its early process (probably why there’s no more footage), but my first impressions is not a good one.

cartoon gore it's possible, exhibit a:

but you have to dial up on the splatter

problem here is that the devs are trying to closely resemble the original sprite's splatter patterns and blood puddles, when in truth they should be doing what brutal doom does:


the whole thing is weird , because the characters seem to be made using polygon models, which means they are either rendered real time (which would mean parts could fly all over easier)

if they are pre-renders, its much worse , because they could have made SF5 quality images and backgrounds

for F$#ks sake , its a Re-make, they made a good job of house of the dead:

You're right. too many frames per animation takes away the oomph, slow and floating.

Same thing happens imho with Final Vendetta: lots of commendable effort in making more sprites, but with not-so-good animations and a mid-to-low "oomph" quality.

I know you've been around a little bit, but don't think I've extended you a proper greeting yet @realsra. Welcome to the community!

I didn’t said it’s not possible, I said it doesn’t fit specifically with the art of THIS game, which is trying to recreate the feeling of the original, without success so far in my opinion.

I have watched enough anime gore from the 80’s to know that you can make cartoons and comics very gory 🙂

So I stand for what I said 😉
 
They should of waited until they had something better to show, even the lack of heros facial expressions seems weird, looks pretty dead, which is ironic.

I don't mind the cartoon look but it should move/animate more like the original like what Street FIghter 2 HD did rather being overlay animated but that's probably because it was originated in a 3D environment.
