Depois de um hiatus longo no que toca a jogos novos na Saga principal... a Konami volta a apostar num Contra numerado, desta vez numa portátil. Contra 4 é em um sidescroller de acção 2D como os seus congeneres. Cronologicamente, o jogo passa-se dois anos depois do Contra III: The Alien Wars (SNES, 1992) e três anos depois do Contra: Hard Corps (Mega Drive, 1994), e tem um novo vilão chamado Black Viper (Víbora Negra).

O jogo propõe-se a juntar ambas as storylines, Japonesa e Norte Americanas, uma vez que as personagens principais Bill Rizer e Lance Bean vão contar com a ajuda de Mad Dog e Scorpion do Contra original. Mad Dog e Scorpion eram os nomes usados para Bill e Lance na versão americana do Contra da NES, pelo que a a forma como a Konami o vai fazer é uma incógnita.

O jogo tem lançamento planeado para Setembro 2007 no Japão.

Jeremy Parish do 1Up:
Surprise! Contra 4 is good. Really good.

In case you've somehow missed it, with the big link on the front door and the giant flaming C at the top of every page and the segment on this week's 1UP Show, we've played Contra 4. And we like it.

This is one those cases where playing is definitely believing; you as a gamer have every right to be cynical about the Contra series, because it's a pale shadow of itself. But WayForward has totally nailed the look, the feel of the best chapters in the series.

But I particularly appreciate how closely it hews to my own tastes. I know Shattered Soldier was fairly well-received, but I couldn't stand it. Honestly, I haven't really been a huge fan of the series since the NES days -- Contra and Super C were amazing, but starting with Contra III the games seemed to move further and further away from what I enjoyed about the originals. Contra III wasn't bad at all, mind you, but it was the first place that OMG MIND-BLOWING ROLLER-COASTER design sensibilities started to get in the way of good, simple "blowing the crap out of everything that moves."

And that is why I like Contra 4 so very much. It goes back to emphasizing skills over memorization, the way the NES games worked. Which isn't to say that later Contra games didn't require skill, mind you! But they used a different part of the brain, less the twitchy-reflex cortex than the memorization oblongata.

Like I said in the preview, the true test will be whether or not it all comes together in a suitably satisfying fashion, but the four levels I've seen give us every reason to be optimistic.

nao percebi... os sprites vao ser em 3d?

Também não percebi, porque ainda não vi nada pelas imagens e videos que me parecesse 3D. "Full 3D with Sprites" implica que o mundo seria em 3D mas também não vi nada que me desse isso a entender.

Aliás...

Contra (NES) > Contra III (SNES) > Contra IV (NDS)​

Embora boa, são claramente sprites.
 
Muito Probotector joguei eu na SNES. Os níveis com modo 7 eram impressionantes. Espero que seja mais um shooter a juntar à pequena colecção da DS, precisamos de mais jogos destes.

Quando falaram de 3D a primeira coisa que pensei foi Mode7 , mas dos niveis que mostraram não vi nada (mas também só vi por alto, pode ter passado ao lado).
 
Hands-On do IGN:
E3 2007: Contra 4 Hands-On
It's back in true form.

July 13, 2007 - Few games are dearer to the old school gamer's heart than Contra. The chaos (bliss) and challenge that erupted on screen - dodging deadly enemy heads, turrets, falling boulders and giant chasms - has not been duplicated. Wayforward Technologies is attempting to change all that.

Contra 4 mashes together what we love from the original and a few choice elements from Super Contra and Contra III: Alien Wars in an attempt to return to the franchise's roots. The one-level E3 demo was homage to the first Contra level - complete with exploding bridge and end-of-level fortress.

To help even the playing field (Konami hasn't confirmed whether the infamous code will reappear), you can carry up two different weapon power ups. Grabbing two machine or spread guns will double your rate of fire. And when you die, you'll only lose the equipped power up. A grappling hook not only helps you traverse between the DS's two screens, but it will also aid you in a rapid escape from enemy fire.

As much as we appreciate a good challenge, the size of the DS screen does contribute to frequent deaths. Some bullet types were particularly difficult to distinguish from the backgrounds. Also, because the game is split between two screens, you'll occasionally miss weapon drops and will contend with bullets appearing from below.

Although multiplayer wasn't on display, we were told that these frustrations are eliminated when you play co-op because one player can clear the high road while the other takes the low.

Judging from the brief demo, Contra 4 is shaping up to be a challenging return to the Contra of old. But we'll need to see a more extensive demo to determine whether it lives up to its early promise.

Rumor:

Rumored Contra 4 preorder gift: 20th anniversary pack?

We sped through a jungle full of enemies and flipped over exploding bridges to report this gossip to you as soon as we heard about it -- Contra 4 preorders will come bundled with a set of 20th anniversary goodies.

We usually try to not let the internet's random scuttlebutt addle our brains with its false promises and outright lies, but if you can remember the Castlevania 20th anniversary pack that accompanied Portrait of Ruin's release, you'll understand why we're finding it so hard to contain ourselves after hearing this rumor. Konami rewarded Castlevania fans who reserved the game and paid a five-dollar premium with a 48-page art book, a 20th anniversary soundtrack CD, a Castlevania stylus and cart case, and a small timeline/poster, all packaged in a black box with a faux-wax seal.

So, what're you hoping will be included in this hypothetical preorder bonus? More branded accessories? A CD with Contra tracks remixed by Virt?! A sweaty bandanna?!!! Yeah right, we wish.
