I’ve got high hopes for this. WayForward has a proven history with Contra, they previously made Contra 4 on DS.
Looks like this rumour panned out OK-
It's time for the Finale! Please take a look at the post here and cast your vote for Famiboards' Game of the Year!
Spidersaurs? That was great. Well worth picking up in the salesWayForward also did that dinosaur themed run n’ gun last year so they definitely know what they’re doing.
Are we sure this is not a remake? Everything the showed in the trailer seems to be from the original Contra, including the big alien boss battle.interested to see how much it'll tie into Contra 4's storyline. i certainly noticed that the Probotector robots are back just from watching the trailer.
(one other notable thing that canon added was introducing the characters "Mad Dog" and "Scorpion", named after the original nicknames for the Contra protags used in various NA manuals.)
It looked a remake with some new bits added like a speeder section that looked like a Contra 3 homage. I think the Direct VO mentioned “remake” at least once too.Are we sure this is not a remake?

Sorted!@PixelKnight this thread needs amister!

Nah, they're also good at 2.5D direction. As proven in Double Dragon Neon.I think WayForward is at its best with 2D / pixelart, really not a fan of the art direction.
In general, retro crowd really hate 2.5D concept altogether. I heard negative responses even for Sonic Superstars on the net. But the mainstream loves it, especially the newer generation gamers who had no experience with pixel visuals on a CRT screen. No surprise Konami and WayForward went for it for Contra after the success of Bloodstained.Still not a big fan of how ugly the 3D models looks on the bland background with low detail tiles repeated all the way.
Don't get me wrong ; I have nothing against Sonic Superstars, Metroid Samus Returns or Dread. I'm more than ok with 2,5D mixing 2D elements with 3D and stuff (Hard Corps : Uprising is one of my favorite Contra game)In general, retro crowd really hate 2.5D concept altogether.

I think Contra looks fantastic. I love Hard Corps 2D sprite over 3D looks too but WayForward knows how to do 2.5D properly, as it was proven with Double Dragon Neon, a fantastic brawler. Thanks to 2.5D the speeder segments of Contra 3 made a full return.
Bring back Plisskin.Ok, having a playable Probotector is a great nod to Europe, lol. Let’s hope for a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle cameo.
