Title: Arc Hound Remake
Post by: mgman on March 26, 2010, 04:31:34 pm
You know Arc Hound aka Contra Force, don't you? Well, someone from Russia is creating a remake/sequel to the game. It seems to be called Contra Reinforced.

Look at the videos:

Interesting...

Do you know what platform (if any) it will be available for?

I think it's a PC game. It definitely won't require too much to be able to play.

I wonder if it's available already.

Nah, I checked the site, it seems to be under development still. He doesn't seem to have been around there for a long time, actually...

Well, it looks pretty cool. It's something I would give a try, anyway. Keep us updated :D

Bad for reason you won't find here, at least based on the trailer.

Contra Force would have been great if not for the crippling slowdown issues.

And also for the slightly wacky story (maybe not so much; Contra isn't about story, maybe this shouldn't be either... but you can't skip the sequences!)

Also somewhat by the item respawn properties.

I liked contra force a lot, is true that have technical issues, but still was good game:

-Excellent Music
-Cool stages (hangar,harbor,walking on a airplane  :P)
-4 characters, each one with unique personality and gameplay.

The idea having a CPU buddy was ok, but why the hell the creators decided spawn it for just a seconds and disappear? .And they were ilimited, so you have to press star and select it again, OVER and OVER

Very interesting. I'll have to check that out, although I'm not an Ark Hound / Contra Force fan.  :)
