But at the same time, I think the beat 'em genre up works a little better for GIJ from the standpoint that the characters and enemies are so unique and different to each other. The characters in Contra were sort of generic and identical to each other other than the main big bosses. Although I do think Metal Slug would have worked just as well too. Does that make sense?

I guess in a perfect world I would have wanted two different ARAH Joe games - one in the beat 'em up genre and the other in the Contra/Metal Slug side-scrolling shooter style! lol

They could do both in one game! A team assaults the Cobra stronghold Metal Slug style while another team infiltrates beat em up style. That would be really cool.

I like that Cobra Giant robot... I want Super 7 to make a Super Cyborg figure of it...😀👍

I still think a G.I. Joe FPS would be awesome, but if people want to be able to see their Joes, how about an Uncharted or Gears of War-style Joe shooter?

When I was in college we used to love playing a PC shooter called Counterstrike. At the time I have always wanted a GI JOE themed game that functions just like CS did. For me, it didn't need to have any complex story, just skins and backgrounds based on JOE.

I've poked the devs about reaching out to Hisstank. ^-^

In Full Force's interview with one of the games designers, they talked about how there could be 36+ playable Joes if it is popular enough with future DLC. They also hinted at being able to play as Cobras and if that eventually happens more DLC with those characters too.

It sounds like the people working on this really love G.I. Joe and put a lot of passion into it.

Ghost recon breakpoint is pretty much GI Joe in open world form. You created most all styles of Joes and Cobra.

It?s a great great game

This looks great! I imagine this has already been addressed here and I've missed it, but is there going to be a physical release of the game? I imagine a lot of us collectors would want one...
