Streets of Rage 4 Trailer
- Thread starter Cicada 5
- Start date
Now all we need to see is Comix Zone, Vectorman, Golden Axe, and Ristar. I found out about the news yesterday, and I am hyped. The 2d/3d brawler genre is back.Agent_Z said:

Anyway, I'm actually glad this exists. Streets of Rage was never my favourite Sega IP, but I played and enjoyed SoR 3 on the Mega Drive, so, hey, it's nice to see them back, and that the characters have aged.
I'm not dissing the genre (even if it isn't really my thing), but I don't recall any massive resurgence. I recall Double Dragon IV getting an installment in 2017 (that was panned) and...that's it.
3D, sure (Devil May Cry for instance), but 2D? Not so much.

Um, is it?CoCage said:

To be fair, there was a pepper shaker in the first game. All the characters use guns in the fan game Streets of Rage Remake. So there's that.Agent_Z said:
Mother Russia Bleeds, Way of the Passive Fist, Dust, Fight n Rage, The TakeOver, Raging Justice, River City Ransom Underground , Double Dragon 4 (That one is love-it-or-hate-it territory. I thought it was okay.) and Neon, Guacamelee 2 , I Am The Hero, Code of Princess (switch port), and Odin sphere and Dragon's Crown Pro (PS4 ports). Sure most of these aren't big AAA titles, but they don't need to be. These games and developers know who their audiences are. I recommend most of these games.Hawki said:
Adam was a beast. If they hack up this game too much for sake of DLC I'll be pissed. But they can't ship the game with just Axel and Blaze, that would be plain stupid, any beat em up worth it's salt, even in the 90s came with at least 3 characters (Double Dragon and Crude Busters aside, j/k)CoCage said:
I'd love for Adam to come back, I can see though why he didn't make it to the sequels. Trying to diversify the characters, Adam wasn't beefy or slow enough, so they brought in Max, and Blaze was too close to Axel to be a speedy character, so they brought in Skate.
Max was awesome once you figured out how to move with him, Skate was just crap. Felt like you'd do more damage blowing kisses. Zan though, just freaking weird to play as. Certainly strong enough, but just not satisfying.
I see a lot of criticism primed already on the youtube video, people are going to be upset if the soundtrack doesn't live up. But that was a precedent that SoR1 really set. SoR3 didn't even come close, if I'm honest. It would be brilliant if Yuzo could come back to give the game it's original flavor, at least setting the mood, if the graphics don't quite manage.
But I'm not going to expect the moon, nostalgia glasses aside, this will be great fun either way. And there's enough wicked sick 80's synthwave artists nowadays that I'm sure there will be something suitable out there.
Skate was only a problem if you did Very Hard or Mania by yourself. You have a point, but it usually didn't bother me.JohnnyDelRay said:
My brother and I co-op the games a lot. I usually mained Adam, Max, and Axel in that order though out the series. He would usually go for Axel in 1, and Skate for the rest of the series or Zan in 3.
Ignore the the ungrateful haters. I'm glad to see another game that is trying something different. If they pulled a Sonic Mania, most of those same people would complain and say, "Ya might as well have SORRemake on digital services"; or trying to make lightning strike twice. Complaining before the game even comes out. I think Yuzo going to do the soundtrack, if not, I can take it. 3's soundtrack is iconic in its own right, and pulled off music you wouldn't see in most Genesis game. Not to mention, Yuzo laid out the precursor to dubstep over 20 years before it became a thing. 3 was defintely ahead of its time in the sound department. Take that how you will. The soundtrack for 1 is the best in my opinion while 2 is very close.
By the way an animator known as Balak worked on the animated intro and if you want something like Streets of Rage the animated series check out Lastman
All this talk about which fighters are returning and not one mention of Roo?
FOR SHAME!
Also:
Though if I'm being all nostalgic for Sega IPs I haven't played since the Genesis, I'll add Ecco the Dolphin, Bonanza Bros, and maybe Alex Kidd (though that's a big "maybe").

I'm beginning to wonder if that might be a thing, considering within the last few years, Sega not only greenlighted Sonic Mania, but we're getting Shenmue III, and now Streets of Rage IV. So if they want to revive more IPs...yay?CoCage said:

2D has had some great stuff too, especially Dragon's Crown. That game was absolutely stunning to look at and was actually pretty damn complex for a genre typically simplistic.

Happy to see another fan. I gonna play some DC later today. I haven't been playing enough recently.Dreiko said:Hawki said:

I disagree with his opinion about Skate. It wouldn't be the same without him either. Roller blades or not.

I want a sequel. I also love Japanese interpretations of western fantasy.Dreiko said:Hawki said:

They're usually more interesting than western fantasies made by westerners.Saelune said:I also love Japanese interpretations of western fantasy.Dreiko said:Hawki said:

2D SSB's are the genre closest to my pea pickin little heart, and as much I am hyped for seeing this get another shot at the spotlight, the dev's have a heck of a task before them to make something that exceeds the SoR remake communities contributions. The Bombers created the ultimate love letter to the franchise and the whole genre with what they've done.
Don't let us down, guys.
Oh, and leave Skate out if you must, but don't you DARE skip Max Thunder. Or a playable Shiva.
Also, Dragon's Crown, fuckyea. Elf main represent!
