Yeah, I feel sorry for that flash game they have announced. That's why I said Capcom don't give two shits about GnG, It' clear that's only one pile all over it. Sadly.

>>7293647
somewhat subjective criteria but it just doesn't 'feel' like one

>can only shoot left or right (mostly)
>movement stops while shooting: literally cannot run and gun at the same time
>low fire rate, no autofire
>platforming-heavy, lots of pits

Would not really consider Wonder Boy/Adventure Island or Toki run 'n' guns either

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 15 15:30:28 2021 No.7293787 >>7293637 There are plenty of examples for high quality 2.5-D, high or low res 2-D side scrolling already. No need to lower the bar here, specially when talking about a veteran like Capcom.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 15 22:39:02 2021 No.7295238 >>7293787 It honestly looks fine to me. I submit that there's nothing wrong with looking like a flash game, I'd only worry if it plays like a flash game. If Capcom really loved us they'd drop a new Ultimate GnG port.
