STREETS OF RAGE 4!!!! OMG!!

A cult classic
Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat 'em up games developed and published by SEGA in the 1990s.

Famously known for its non stop action and electronic dance influenced music - scored by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima - the series has gained the status of cult classic throughout the years. It is considered one of the best beat 'em up series of all time. After many years, Axel and Blaze are finally picking up the fight where they left.

Featuring hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s gorgeous Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem. Streets of Rage 4 recalls classic gameplay but it stands as an entirely original arcade-style romp thanks to the expertise of Guard Crush Games and Dotemu.

Whether players gang up with a friend or clean up the city solo, Streets of Rage 4 is a skull-bashing, chicken-chomping delight all set to a thumping soundtrack sure to get your blood pumping.

Features
The comeback of the legendary Streets of Rage series.
Beautiful graphics fully hand-drawn animated by the studio behind Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap.
Classic gameplay enhanced with brand new mechanics.
Braised chicken served on a pristine plate.

Looks ok to me.

Just don't let the SJWs infiltrate the project and put a disabled midget with missing limbs as a character in it to be inclusive.

They are now invading anime and making their own stuff lol. I suppose we should be happy because now they are less likely to ruin our stuff :up:

What I had in mind is a style that looks like Guilty Gear Xrd and Dragon Ball FighterZ style. But we should judge the gameplay if it is crap more than art style. Today's kids have gotten used to that now. (notice how new cartoons today look so much worse than older ones?)

BTW wouldn't mind Double Dragon Advance being made in HD or UHD form. Someone needs to make that game a home console title by adapting it to the big screen (like the 4K edition of Dragon's Crown) and adding new enemies. (those agent smith characters make for a great addition. They need to add mutants next because in Advance the universe is a post apoc one like Fist of the North Star)

What I think Sega can do is create a SOR-maker in the same way nintendo did mario maker. The arcade beat em up genre needs to make a comeback. And do some crazy shit like 8 player drop in and out co-op. With more screen space you can have more people fighting on screen at once too. Don't make it just in retro style but seriously make a game that expands on old stuff but offer so much more.

Art style looks nice but a bit too cutesy, and honestly a bit dialed in.
I would have preferred something still colourful but a bit more rough/grungy and unique.

Oh Hush.. the soundtrack was great and the look, style and gameplay is still good. It's aged.. especially when you compare it to SoR2.. but it's still good.

I'm concerned about this - BUT Yuzo Koshiro has been noticeably aloof in answering a direct question as to whether he is returning to compose the OST - Which I think is vital given his OST is the soul of the game.
As for the graphics? I got super excited at the cityscape intro.. but then when I saw that the same studio from Wonderboy 3 is in charge.. yeah.. not a fan.. it needs more grunge and neon.

I said don't try to defend it, lol. The first game tapped into a market that was growing, especially as Final Fight Guy came out on Snes, but that smart bomb move ruined the game, ruined it I say. I rented the game and completed it on my first go, it was a time waster for all of 45mins-1hr.

About time the scrolling brawler made a comeback.
I'm excited since this has Omar Cornut of Meka/SMSPower fame behind it. Aw yis.

The new art style looks like they tweaked the colours to be less water colour so I am now a bit more on board.. but the announcement of the music composers?

FUCK. YES.

Street Fighter 2 composer
Jest Set Radio/Future composer

This should be fucking amazing.

That sound is... dull. Both he sound effects and the soundtrack. Other than that, it looks great! About time the scrolling brawler came back!

The sound effects are just place holders except for Cherry. The impact sounds are very slappy and have no power to them.

The music so far I’m pleased with as they’ve got the sound right but the tunes in the video are probably just standard fare. Streets of Rage 2 had some samey tracks in it so I’m not worried.

Gotta admit.. good choice.. though that doesn't excuse the cheese bullshit of having his daughter.. who has a fucking guitar.

Based on the main screen.. there is one more person to the right that I can see - Maybe they will have another to the left? Maybe Max? Please!?

If Max isn't in this game I'll be bitterly disappointed.

...and still buy it.

I still am not a fan of the art style..

But fuck me.. the music is ON FUCKING POINT. I knew they were pulling out all stops to make this OST amazing due to the composers on board..
The last song especially is fucking awesome.

Seriously. They nailed it.

It's to SoR as Sonic Mania is to Sonic.

Have to agree. The older SOR games are hard work nowadays but SOR 4 - wow, they've made beat-em ups interesting again. Bought it on GOG, well worth $32AUD.
