Metal Slug XBLA graphics filter

[Lyris]

Couldn't find a thread for this, but I just downloaded Metal Slug from Xbox Live Arcade. The game is so fricking cool (never played one before) but it looks crap. All the pixel art is smushed together like a bad video noise reduction filter and I can't find an option to turn it off. Surely that's not the case?

Yup, it is the case. Personally, I don't think it looks bad at all, but would still have been nice to have the option to turn it off.

Wow... no sale, Microsoft.

There was a Wii release of some Metal Slug games, how was it? I want to get one of these, it just screams "video game" in every way.

I guess the retro-style music is going to be replaced with a full orchestrated score in the next release

I heard that they screwed the controls up on the US/PAL versions, but are fixing 'em for the upcoming JP version.

picked up the wii metal-slug collection the other day from asda 22 quid ( 19.80 with discount ) - and it controls bloody great with the gamecube pad..

I don't think it looks that bad on 360, but, still, messing with lovely pixel art is a heinous crime!

It's not that bad but considering I have it on the Xbox and just got Metal Slug Anthology for ?9 on the Ps2 brand new I will not be getting this version.

I downloaded the trial last night and while it does lose some pixelly SNK charm with the filter effect it's not actually something I noticed once playing. Good chance I'll buy the full version next batch of points I get ... far better value than the first time I bought the game

I prefer the filtered look when using an LCD, but I agree it wouldn't have been that hard for them to include an option to turn it off.

I have never been a massive fan of the really scaled up pixel look. I would prefer a scanline filter which is what I have always ued with PC emulation though.

Or alternately, AES/MVS through native RGB on a CRT FTW and take your pic of 'Slugs

I have metal slug 3 for the original xbox... was rather disappointed to find out that it wouldn't work on my 360 despite it being able for download on XBL, I'm not buying something twice ><
