Someone please make a Contra FPS

[venk]

The Contra series on my old Nintendo was what got me into gaming in the first place. Anyone else want to see a Contra FPS come out on the PC ? I think it would kick arse.

 

[tigerbait]

could anybody ever beat that game without using the 30 lives?

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

<< Hell no, It would be lame >>


However, I'd love to see a Contra with the same overhead view in full 3d. Mmmmm....

 

[d33pt]

contra was a sidescroller

 

[chiwawa626]

I duno, could it compete with cs and q3 and wolfenstien and the rest of the fps games?

 

[pulse8]

I think they need to move on from WWII and start making some kick ass Vietnam based FPS.

 

[AMDJunkie]

They renamed it "Serious Sam."

uhhh, that's like freaking IMPOSSIBLE.

I'm sure SOMEONE out there has done it. someone sad and lonely and depressed

Oops, you are correct sir. I must have been thinking of a different game. It was a long time ago, give me a break!

Its not that hard. If my friends and I get to playing it, we can usually do it without the code. Usually don't die at all until the flame level.

But on the topic: If someone made a new Contra by changing everything about the game (such as making it a FPS), then the only thing that would make it Contra would be the name. Its like saying that Mario Kart is a Mario Brothers game.

Different game + Old characters = Different Game

 

[b0mbrman]

There would definitely be a lot of pressure on the gamemaker to make the fps non-crappy

Perhaps you're thinking of Commando, Ikari Warriors, or MERCs?

 

[EvilYoda]

Oooooh, Ikari Warriors.....yay.....

But BTW, Contra was in an overhead view at parts in the evolution of the game, whether you take the SNES or GB games. I won't even mention the pathetic PSX attempts, as I don't want to cause undue nightmares for some.

 

[d33pt]

ooh right i did forget about the overhead levels... damn i loved that game

 

[venk]

The overhead levels were part of SuperC (ie Contra 2) if i remember correctly.

You people wouldnt love an FPS where you get to see through the eyes of Mr. Blue Pants??

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Contra != Contra if it's a FPS. And that PSX game was just $hit. Contra will forever be a side scrolling shoot em up and god forbid they make it into a FPS

 

[DoOLiE11]

i beat contra a few times with three lives

twas hard, i had to memorize where everythign popped out!@

 

[wfbberzerker]

some people at my bros dorm beat contra 100 times in one month.

 

[Soulflare]

There were recently rumors of Konami making a new Contra game for the PS2... check out
Gamespot or IGN for what little details there were.

 

[Boogak]

Man... I played so much Contra back in the day I didn't even need the 30 lives trick to beat the game.

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

up up down down left right left right B A B A select start ??

 

[venk]

isnt that the code for Sonic the Hedghog 1 on the Genesis?

 

[CrackRabbit]

What i reallly want in a fps is a remake of Rise of the Triad, the most kick ass doom clone ever!!!!
I loved that game, it was the first doom clone fps that took things a step further than anyone else, and it seems to be largely forgotten.
such a shame...
