Streets of Rage 4

Well if they gotta touched on that then I personally can wait a few more months.

SFX is actually important to me.

Pretty sure this is close to the final build at this point.

Axel's voice sucks but everyone else is alright. They also took Adam's neutral blitz from the Remake, looks like.

No dash is frustrating tho.

There's a Street Fighter style little edge forward you can do instead if you're not Cherry, looks like. I think I saw some kind of weird hop Floyd can do, too?

Naganuma's off the project, sadly.

This really sucks considering some of the battle tracks he's done in the past. I've modded a lot of his music into the Remake and it fits perfectly.

April 30th

I have been waiting with bated breath for a release date for way too long, glad to know it's soon.

I'm pretty damn hype.

No naganuma is off? Aww man.

Game is out and it's pretty sweet. Game feels a bit sluggish in movement, but juggling enemies, especially with a friend, is VERY satisfying. However, enemies can also juggle you, which means no invincibility frames to defend yourself with. Picking up items is its own button and that took a lot to get used to.

Blaze's voice :/

I feel like removing run was a mistake ultimately.

I'm indifferent to the lack of running. Just wished single player didn't feel like it was made for co-op. Also, online can go fuck itself because every time a random co-op partner of mine loses all their lives, they pussy out and quit, ending the game.

The game is still good though. Axel felt okayish, not too fond of Cherry which is surprising since Skate was my favorite, Floyd is awesome and Adam is good. Haven't tried Blaze yet.

If they weren't going to have running they at least could've had rolling.

I am finding the juggle system more annoying to deal with. It's only good for you if you're playing with other people. Otherwise, it's far too easy to lose all your health getting juggled between enemies. Especially if stage hazards are involved.

Unlocked all the retro characters. Does Shiva have 2 versions, or just the retro one?

I was using SOR 1 adam and used his cop assist against the final boss and it took out over half the life bar lol. Finished the fight way more quickly than expected.

Anyone else sad the cop lady isn't playable? Her design rocks and she's badass. Kinda hot too lol.

Also the retro soundtrack is disappointing tbh. Ill fitting choices(how does max man NOT play when fighting shiva?), no SOR 3 music but plenty of the game gear one I guess. Yay? whoever decided this list should be slapped haha.

He should have both his modern and retro skin if his profile is anything to go by.

I remember when I do the bad ending of the first game unintentionally when playing co op as a kid,is very dark and I never see anything similar before at the time,was very shocking.

I beat SOR 4 on easy,is very short,doing a run on normal with classic Axel now,classic characters are op.

looks like will take a lot of points to unlock all the characters.

I did it in one night, though I did like 4 or 5 playthroughs. You can use stage select for individual stages too. And yeah the profile unlike the other retro characters seems to directly link to 4's story which leads me to believe he is usable. Not only that but SOR 3 Shiva lacks a roll or hop which is odd considering he had a hop in SOR 3, which leads me to believe if there is a SOR 4 playable shiva he has an evade of some sort and they did this to differentiate between the two.

While it lacks the depth of SOR Remake, overall I'm pretty satisfied.

Honestly I think they succeeded too well with all the various bosses. They're so cool I find myself wishing they were unlockable characters. Estel especially seems so well designed that trying convince myself she'll be DLC at some point.

The impact of your attacks and seeing foes bounce off the walls is so very very satisfying.

OH god yes the game has a very good "Feel" to it. Enemies have weight to them as you slam them into the pavement.

Only made it past Nora before I have to go out to do some crap. I hope to unlock Adam Hunter soon. He was my main back in the SOR 1 days.

Is the game Numerical Hard or does it spawn bigger waves of baddies of higher ranking on the high difficulty levels?

It won't be long til you get Adam. Next stage, I think.

And if this game is like earlier ones, enemies'll have bigger health bars on higher difficulties.

Enemies also have bigger health bars as you progress in the game. The amount of enemies feel the same in co-op, but during certain boss fights, there will be extra mooks appearing.

Also, did a co-op run online with a stranger. We got the final stage and he lost all his lives early on. So I had to fight Ms. Y and then her and Mr. Y (do we have to spoil these names?) alone with only one life left to my name. I WON. It was on normal but still.

I had a similar run the other day, but my partner did pretty good for himself. He played Blaze, I used Adam. And boy is Adam lots of fun here.

Man I am loving all the little additions they added that broaden the gameplay. The Risk/Reward inherent in the new special move system. The combo score bonus. The Enemy Civil War.

Although one thing I've been asking since I was ten has been a major case of Be Careful What You Wish For. Having a dedicated item grab button inflicts major and embarrassing cases of Damn You, Muscle Memory!.

Also the environment is great. It's like I'm fighting right on the concept art.

You can switch the controls back to old school so Attack also picks up stuff.
