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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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??

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

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.

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

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...
