Metro Siege: new arcade quality a500 brawler!

[tom256]

Finally game I can buy and play. Just please make AGA/CD32 version.

And the music could be more dynamic. This one in last video does not fit good to brawler game.

Please delete. Double post.

It actually does, if you put the scene in a Dirty Harry or Death Wish kind of movie;

I actually think the music fits well. Not only that, but it's refreshing to hear other genres being used in games than just the default "old arcade style" stuff. Helps that it's a nice tune too

Thanks for all the comments and feedback /suggestions guys!

In regards to player character looks (f.e. that cut-off Alex knee) as well enemies and character animations in general, I have to note that they are still a work in progress. There are many layers of polish all these still lack, so expect issues like this to be sorted out in the final game.

Nah, fits perfectly if you are into late 80ies/early 90ies Cannon movies...

[Gzegzolka]

Second stage looks awesome and very dynamic, definetly arcade quality.

[spacey]

I'm just repeating myself, but I'm also for AGA version!

About game itself it's great work.

I think it's about picking up weapons and using it. At least that's i would like more instead arm just one (?!) character with weapon and others are just bare handed.

[Predseda]

I suggest BitBeam Cannon not to read discussions in Amiga forums, otherwise they will not finish their game

Because you are worrying it won't be running on AGA machines, or what is that request for?

[Tsak]

The game will run fine on AGA machines and (of course) there will be a CD version available as well, for CD or CD-32 owners. Other than that an AGA specific version is not happening because simply the game is made and optimised for OCS and we'll have to redo the gfx and recode the game to take advantage of AGA features = double the effort. Depending on how well the game will perform on release we might see to do an AGA version as well. That is a REAL AGA version, not some cheap cash in where the game's gfx are exactly the same and only a couple tiny details and a few extra sfx are added (thanks to larger ram).

[nikosidis]

Hehe, yes. That is exactly how it was back in the day. They took the OCS versions and add a few color and changed the palette in most cases. Looked worse than the original. Most games that looked great on AGA where AGA only. I think the colors and everything in this game looks stunning! It is not that I'm against AGA version but feel no need here. What you could do is to set up a kind of bounty for an AGA version. I have no believe the sales alone could justify you to do that.

During the 2 hour long video on Twitch last Sunday, Mike Parent said that the ability to pick up enemies' weapons will NOT be in this game. Just about every other beat 'em up did this but he chose not to in order to keep this game unique and to keep the memory requirements under control.

AGA or not if game will be good I will buy it And so far it looks great.

For 1MB music could be disabled to save memory and could be enable for 2MB configuration only.
I think everyone will be happy. Everyone for more features, 2MB guys for music as reward for better configuration.
I hope Mike will consider this solution. Looks like win-win.

It would be cool, though, if they can include some bonus stages, like drawing car in Cadillac's, or braking the car in Final Fight, or driving the scooter in captain commando. It can make game even more rich.
As for the weapons, there is parts of the Punisher game, where you just shoot at enemies with gun, but you actually just mash buttons (quickly enough), and I assume, that something like that wouldn't be too hard to implement (I could be wrong).
When playing beat em ups, I personally don't use weapons often, although I like how Cody works with the knife in FF, and especially satisfying is the rocket launcher in Captain Commando.

I don't like beat em ups usually but this looks awesome. I'm saving my pocket money like it's 1992.
