MercurySteam- Castlevania: LoS developer- wants to work on Contra
“Like I said, I know there’s going to be pressure on us to do another Castlevania game, but I don’t want to rise to that pressure. I want to do something else. I love Contra. I’d love to do Contra. At Mercury Steam we’ve got an original idea that I think is really awesome. We’d love to bring that idea to market and I’m hoping that the success of Lords of Shadow 2 will allow us to do that.” – Dave Cox, MercurySteam Entertainment
I honestly really appreciate when artists- musicians, game developers, whatever- do this. To turn down financial profit in favor of making games you love and not trapping yourself in a creative box is really respectable, and it shows that they’ll probably do a great job with Contra, should they ever have the chance to work on it.
