Is there any game with pixel art that reaches the level of Metal Slug ?
CPS3 games
>>12513327The trick with Metal Slug is that most of the more impressive pieces are robots or mechs, if you look at it you can see there is almost no actual animation, instead opting for individual segments that move independently.
>>12513327I feel like psikyo has made substantially cooler and more elaborately animated robots. But playing arcade games in general, yes I've found snk to be extremely overrated.
>>12513337I understand what you say, but I don't know man, the tank for example had a lot of frames.https://www.spriters-resource.com/neo_geo_ngcd/ms2/asset/32522/There's also the elephant, the explosions, the monkeys, backgrounds, etc.Some gifs from the games here:https://imgur.com/gallery/metal-slug-gif-dump-mk0uBhttps://i.imgur.com/fDXbk3B.gifI think that it looks great altogether even without the multi-jointed segments.>>12513346Why so?Psikyo games indeed look great though.

Demon Front, which is based off Metal Slug but unlike most clones, the art keeps pace.
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon for the arcades. Probably the best pixel art in a beat em up period.
Another beat em up, Undercover Cops by Irem is a close second to Sailor Moon.
>>12515403Irem in general has great pixel art and artists from there worked on Metal Slug. The roots are most visible in Geostorm and In the Hunt. R-Type Leo, Ninja Baseball Batman and Blade Master are other amazing looking titles.
>>12515416>Ninja Baseball Batman>>12515403>>12515398>>12515393Why is it so hard to find modern pixel art games like this?There are some that look great but I still think these older titles look much better.
>>12513572>Why so?When actually playing through games it quickly becomes apparent there isn't much going on, most sprite detail arises from the fact that there simply isn't much to animate. It's trading gameplay for flashy surface appeal. If they actually tried to make a fun game, they wouldn't have had the manpower to make such elaborate animations.

>>12516283Is there any other mental illness you'd like to air out or are we done here?
