Looks like some of the same people making Windjammers 2 are involved.  The art style is probably going to turn off a lot of people since it looks like they went for the "HD sprite tracing" technique like SSF2T HD Remix used.

If it sucks, hey...at least Yuzo Koshiro is doing some music for SOR2 clone The Takeover.

I like the look.  Hopefully it plays well.  I was pretty hyped for Double Dragon IV but that game played like a cold turd.

Also I really hope there are more characters to play than Axel and Blaze and they're not all gonna be locked behind DLC.  Something like the Syndicate Wars mod would be nice.

Even as a kid, I thought the SoR games got tedious about half way through.  I haven't played a modern brawler so maybe it's changed, but back then there was no depth - just slam on the attack button for 2 hours.  The soundtrack heavily carried these games through the moment to moment tedium, and I don't see any mention of Yuzo.   I don't know how they're going to make this shit compelling in 2018/9.

I almost threw up in my mouth by how bad this looks.

I totally agree with Spieler1, we needed Streets of Rage Mania. Sega did it right with Sonic Mania, beautiful pixel art and nice remixed zones and music.

That's exactly what I want from a new SoR. But nooooo they had to go and change the artstyle to this disgusting clean look.

AT LEAST WE'LL HAVE THE REAL STREETS OF RAGE MANIA

https://youtu.be/M4WUjkjAF5w

Oh yeah and Fight'n Rage is pretty good Bork!
Mother Russia Bleeds is also pretty damn fun.

But none compare to SoRR V5.1 :)

Fight'N Rage is so good that it could have been right at home during the golden age of BEUs in the late 80s/early 90s.  It's a super quality game- can't believe it hasn't come out on consoles already.

The Taveover is another good beat-em-up, but it pales in comparison to FnR (everything modern does though, to be fair).  It's also still in early access so it could get better.  it uses mostly pre-rendered characters and has some 3D background elements.  Plays a bit stiff but feels close-ish to Streets Of Rage in looks and playstyle, and again...they even got Yuzo to do some of the music.

LizardCube worked on the recent WonderBoy HD port-up and Guard_Crush made Streets Of Fury, which I never played.

Here's Yuzo Koshiro's track for stage one of The Takeover, BTW:

Their work on Wonderboy was fantastic, so I'm not worried about the artstyle change.  I never did feel SoR's calling card was the pixel art, anyway.  What's worrying is the temptation for the developers to keep the gameplay close to its retro roots because SoR 1-3, although great representative timecapsules of gaming history, don't hold up and play well as a stand-alone titles today.  I don't envy the devs trying to figure out how to put depth into these games without pissing off SoR fanboys and purists.

They'll probably drag out the level design and insert rpg style progression like most of these other modern day beat em ups tend to do...

I don’t like most retro throwback art, especially when they go back to the NES Era.

Like most NES games were sin ugly with flashing sprites and slowdown and like 32 colors. 16 bit era is acceptable however.

Sonic Mania nailed 32-bit 2D aka the best 2D aka what Sonic Saturn would have looked like. It got the additional animation quality and visual fidelity that 16 bit couldn't quite do (plus some of the Symphony of the Night-esque 3D objects as a neat touch). Streets of Rage 2 is still a visual masterpiece and getting just enough out of it like Sonic Mania would have been amazing. Also, yes there's too much pixel look since forever. But unlike Sonic Mania it's not like any of them look legit. Barely any game looks like it would've ever been on any classic console.

This looks great. I don’t give a fuck about Streets looking like a Genesis game. Its graphics were never a really big part of its appeal and even if I liked the graphics back then the graphics for Streets were never as iconic as Sonic’s so complaining it doesn’t look like a genesis game makes no sense to me.

As long as I get to play as my girl Blaze, crack heads, snap backs, and backward flip kicks I’m sold.

Surprised the ones complaining about the aesthetic have to more to say about the graphics than the overall tone (day time? Nah I want streets to have levels at night).

As for the earlier discussion. I love of the streets of rage series but I do find it a bit overrated as a beat em up.

Beat em ups I prefer to Streets of Rage.

https://youtu.be/od49DtC77S8

My favorite beat em up all of time. I downloaded a 30 gig rom dump after nintendo got Emuparadise closed just to put it on my snes classic.

https://youtu.be/NkuO7wjBEcs

https://youtu.be/KU8NUWMVXRE

Basically, like anything in the arcade my taste lean Capcom and Taito although I love me some Sega.

I think there was a year where arcade beat em up and stuff like Musou were all I played. Definitely a top five genre for me.

Love Streets but...eh. It is overrated. Still up there tho.

It's the jacket. If he had no jacket it'd be fine. With it at that length it makes him look fat.

They need to drop some more info on this game....  so is it just Blaze and Axel?  My guess is it'll launch with just them two... and eventually have another character(s) as DLC, if anything.

I’m thinking Dragons Crown aesthetic

Quote
Guard Crush Games, Lizardcube and Dotemu have revealed that the side-scrolling beat-em-up will have music from Motohiro Kawashima and Yuzo Koshiro, both of whom produced soundtracks for the original Streets of Rage games. They'll tap into the "thumping club anthems" you may remember from the first three titles while creating new sounds.
Quote
You can also expect original music from Jet Set Radio's Hideki Naganuma, Kingdom Hearts' Yoko Shimomura and Ninja Gaiden's Keiji Yamagishi.

I dislike the heavy focus on juggling, the music is..passable but I'm not hearing any real bangers, and the classic sound effects over newer high quality music is a great idea except they are far too sparse (axel doesnt say anything when doing his crazy super move, enemies die without screams)

It looks...alright. i wish i didn't have to compare it to SORR because that one is far closer to what I'd like in a sequel. This looks new and its aesthetics are alright, but I worry theyre straying too far from what works.

Sounds like most of the stuff in SOR2 just brought forward a bit (some bigger modern edm influence in there especially in fx use). I think it's unfair to expect to make 90s techno inspired jams again as a) that's unfair to the artists on just a creative level but also b) they have way more tools to play with now, you'd be not only limiting them creatively but functionally as well. Yuzo kinda touched on this a little bit in the bts video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbFBrheNMaA

And at the end of the day, SoR2 is still there, SORR still there. Let them do something a little different. Let them push it.

Hard to hate on synthwave but its past the "oh wow i havent heard that sound since the 80s" phase and now straight up in the mainstream phase.

Guess its kind of inevitable since Drive came out in 2011. So we had almost a decade of this stuff now.

Why does that combo counter get so fucking large??  Takes up WAY too much real estate.  It feels like now that they can make a "back then, arcade caliber" game, they're copied too much other brawlers of the past...  the character select tiles look a bit too much like TMNT.  And those voices sound pretty uninspired.    HOWEVER... the fighting looks fun a shit still.  I set my expectations on the music as, "nothing will ever top SOR1 & 2 EVER... so no point in holding ultra high hopes"...  Animation quality is there too, so...   still totally onboard...

Well, none of this is surprising. I watched the GameXplain 16 minutes of footage and the only song that sounded like SOR was the boss music against the whip ladies. What else is there isn't bad, but it gives the game a different vibe, which I'm not sure was what people wanted after the already shaky  and weird SOR3.

I'm glad it's available through it but man I'm for sure paying for it, possibly twice. SOR is back against odds I'm supporting the fuck out of this.

From what I understand, games on game pass get a lot of $$$ which pretty much supports the game/team. Plus good games will always sell a bunch on steam as well. I don't feel bad playing stuff for free on game pass. Like Ori 1/2 were great, but I'm fine not giving them money, I'm sure they're doing well enough.

Still not as good as a Yuzo track.  The Takeover does it better:

That's the only song he did for this game, however, and SoR4 will likely have a much better soundtrack overall.

The Takeover was good after a number of updates.  But Fight N'Rage kicks its ass all over the place- hope SoR4 is as good as FnR is.

I'm trying hard not to complain about the music, but so much of it sounds so... empty. It's like they're incomplete. The track in the Floyd vid, Cherry's vid until like 50 seconds in (it actually sounds decent after this point), Adam's vid sounds like a super tame and watered down SoR2 track, the Axel vid is a fucking joke, and the Blaze vid also sounds empty as hell. I haven't heard of Olivier Deriviere until now, but he and whoever hired him are on my shit list.

If they were to really copy what the original was doing, using contemporary dance music of the time, you guys would probably hate the soundtrack even more. It'd be full of tech house and riddim. Maybe a couple downtempo or breakbeat stuff for bosses or something  :lol

Thats what I would have done anyway. Appeal to fans of the original with the gameplay only. Bring everything else forward fuck it.

EDIT: Damn if they allow you to mod the pc version so you could totally replace the soundtrack...and it integrates well hmmm

Looks really good, plays really well and feels responsive, and I like that there's some added 'modern' touches like juggling, plus when you do your special and it drains your life, you have a window of time to hit other enemies and fill your lifebar back up.

Knockdown recovery too, nice.  They moved item pick-ups to a separate button, which seemed weird at first, but it helps a lot when you're beating up enemies and don't want to change weapons or pick-up a health item by accident.

There's a part in stage one where a car comes out of nowhere and crashes into a wall, taking out some of the enemies for you- it's really seamless and while absolutely nothing for a video game released in 2020, is pretty cool to see in Streets Of Rage, lol.

About the only thing that feels missing is the lack of running.

Stage one cleared.  Died once on the stage boss- playing on normal though and there's like three harder difficulties available.  The stage had a different areas and some stage hazards popped up, too.  Was nice to see the boss's electricity power also hits enemies; she killed most of the flunkies for me.  :lol

Music ain't bad so far- it changed like four times already, so I guess if you aren't big on a track, it will switch to something else soon enough.

You can switch characters between levels.

Looks like there's five special moves per character?  Forward, Forward and attack for a blitz move that doesn't drain life.  Your special that drains life, an air special that drains life, a defensive special, and then a "star special" that's a screen-clearing attack.  You pick up star power-ups during gameplay for these.

Estel took me down- that is one hell of a cheap boss fight.   :lol  She calls for back-up and a squad car comes in off-screen to fire a bazooka at you like the specials in SoR1, plus gets cops to help her.  Almost had her beat and then it started firing multiple bazooka shots all over the place.  The fire from these doesn't hurt the cops.
:dizzy

And I'm eager to continue and go again!

If they were to really copy what the original was doing, using contemporary dance music of the time, you guys would probably hate the soundtrack even more. It'd be full of tech house and riddim. Maybe a couple downtempo or breakbeat stuff for bosses or something  :lol

Thats what I would have done anyway. Appeal to fans of the original with the gameplay only. Bring everything else forward fuck it.

I'd be into that tbh, I'm also like a decade younger than the rest of the forum tho

There's a part in stage one where a car comes out of nowhere and crashes into a wall, taking out some of the enemies for you- it's really seamless and while absolutely nothing for a video game released in 2020, is pretty cool to see in Streets Of Rage, lol.


I remember reading that they wanted to do this in SOR2 I think, but couldn't (there's a car in the backdrop of stage 1 where they wanted it to happen) so pretty cool shoutout to do it in 4

I don't blame for not consuming each tidbit that comes out about this, I do the dork shit for you so you don't have to. seems like I'm failing though :lol

Adam can hop forward or backward, too.  Blaze and Axel are very much "old-school" compared to the other three, although they definitely have new tricks with the combo system.

Wait... how many times have you played through it already?  Does it take roughly an hour for a playthrough?  .. I take it there's no branching paths..?
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out on 4/30
Post by: bork on April 29, 2020, 09:24:21 PM
Just finished the game!  It was a lot of fun the whole way through.  Don't really have much to complain about, apart from some cheap enemies and deaths here and there (it can be hell when you're fighting on elevator levels and keep getting knocked off, but welcome to beat-em-ups.  Plus you can certainly turn the tables).

The game is 12 stages long.  Would estimate that on the first time through (on normal) the average time to complete each level on normal is around 10 minutes or so, not counting continue attempts.  You get unlimited continues and can switch characters when you start over, plus you can also opt for a boost and give yourself extra live/star attacks at the cost of getting a lower point score.

Was a little concerned that the end was going to suck, but it turned out all right.  The big bads here are Mr. X's kids, Mr. Y and Ms. Y.  You fight Mr. Y on stage 11, then Ms. Y appears like she's going to be the last boss and it's too easy and predictable...only for her to run away.  Then this happens:

Clearing the game once opens everything up.  The main menu has:

Story
Stage Select
Arcade (You only get one credit and cannot save!)
Boss Rush
Battle
Online
Fighting Tips
Extra (Art gallery- saw some enemy sprites I didn't see in the first play-through.  Unused or something that shows up in other/harder modes? :thinking)
Options

Also, there are high score leaderboards.

Character info shows the following playable characters:

Axel (SoR1)
Axel (SoR2)
Axel (SoR3)
Axel (SoR4)
Blaze (SoR1)
Blaze (SoR2)
Blaze (SoR3)
Blaze (SoR4)
Cherry (SoR4)
Floyd (SoR4)
Adam (SoR1)
Adam (SoR4)
Shiva (SoR3)
Shiva (SoR4)
Skate (SoR2)
Skate (SoR3)
Max (SoR2)
Max (SoR4)
Dr. Zan (SoR3)

Not sure how to unlock any of the alternate versions and other characters yet.

Yeah, they've been open about all that for a while now. It's dope to me that each character has very different play styles. Guessing Axel counts as a balanced heavy now.

Tell me a bit about Adam, I knew about the half step but dude kind of reminds me of Terry Bogard with his specials, would you say there's a similarity or is that me just seeing a power geyser like move and assuming?

Adam is more like Ken from Street Fighter than Terry from FF/KOF!

One of the enemies (the police commissioner and then a normal variant of him) has what looks like a Terry burn knuckle type move, but it's really closer to a move Rugal has in KOF.

Just once.  First play through on normal was about two hours total, I'd say.  You can definitely complete it faster than that when you git gud.

No branching paths.  Nothing hidden I found apart from some little spaces you can go into and find cash (for points) or health items in.

Cherry is probably more like Terry, BTW- she has his power dunk!

It looks better than it did before and certainly better in motion.  There's some nice lighting and other little effects that make it stand out.  It's 1080P and an absolutely solid 60 FPS, too.

Just fired up Fight N'Rage and played a couple of stages to compare.  I think most people would pick SoR4 over it -it's a much flashier game and has a better soundtrack- but FnR still plays better to me, has more sprites on-screen, and lets you do more.  I'm not sure if I can really pick one over the other.

I double-dipped and got the Steam version- 1080P and 60 FPS.  No options to change resolution, so I guess the question of it offering 4K on other platforms been answered.  Appears to be the same game on all systems.

There are some additional graphics options on PC, but it looked the same.  Did see some filtering options like CRT-style (for effects) but that was it.

Yeah it does I wanted to invite you actually but I didnt see you online.

But it keeps crashing for me at the end of the second boss, just tried one in coop. We made it to the boss of stage 1, her health was down to a small tick, and then the game just freezes. Music keeps going, I can press start and control the menu, but the game was frozen. After a minute the other dude quit and it threw me into the main menu saying "Client lobby has left" or something to that effect.

Cherry's the only one who can run until you get the SoR3 sprite characters unlocked.  It sucks that the uu/dd dodgeroll thing from SoR3 isn't there either.  Maybe that unlocks with the old characters too.

No?  It feels like Streets Of Rage.  The fan-made SoRR is where they changed up shit so maybe you're too used to that?

If you want something that feels more akin to SoRR, go check out Fight N'Rage.  It should be required if you like beat-em-ups.  :brain

I feel like the fan made Streets of Rage Remake isn't so much 'mixed up', as it just takes the best from all three games and combines them. It also gives you options, so I think you can even turn a lot of stuff off or even change it to be from a different SoR. The only thing that's changed there is you can do a super move like in this game, on a cooldown and you can run/roll up down. Oh yeah and it has multiple paths.

I also been playing SoR2 on 3DS, and while it's a great game I still miss not being able to run or dodge roll. It just makes the combat and movement more fun in my opinion.

It also doesn't feel like SoR because I can't play with a D-pad because it doesn't allow me to walk diagonally though im not sure if thats on my controller/setup or a quirk in the game. You can use the analog stick to walk diagonally.

I have fighting Rage and I do think that's a great game, although I'm not too big a fan of the artstyle where you're just beating up criminal looking animals.

Gamepass version on PC is supposedly a bit broken.

Quote
Yeah, the gamepass version appears to be pretty trash right now. Missing options, no mouse support, doesn't detect controllers properly, no borderless window option, etc. On the off chance it does detect my controller and show it connected in the input setup menu, it still treats it as a keyboard for some stupid reason. Absolutely ridiculous.

yeah dude Axel is still my main, been hitting insane combos with him.

I'll give Cherry and Adam a shot soon enough, same for my girl Blaze. Just have to say the combat system here is insane, it's SOR2 but iterated to a fine sheen with way more depth than any SOR had. Loving it.

You're gonna love Adam. He feels like Axel x Cherry.

Also I went ahead and grabbed it on steam. The game pass version was missing literally all the advanced options lol.

1) Your lives don't seem to carry from level to level. I completely cleared stage one without losing a life, in fact earning an extra life. But stage 2 started and my lives reset to 2. I don't want each stage to be it's own instance it needs to be a progression continuation from the previous one. Also your score resets to zero on Stage 2 as well. I'm assuming Arcade Mode changes this.

2) When you exhaust all of your lives in SOR4 you don't get to continue where you left off or use a continue at all, instead you if you continue you start the very beginning of the stage.

Not sure what the devs were thinking here

Also installing the CODEX release because what the fuck at the Gamepass version :(.

I don't know I guess it depends. It's annoying on hard having to do a whole level again because I ran out of lives. And then restarting you only get two lives and the damage goes fast on hard. When you get to the boss there is a big chance you might only have one life left, and the bosses have a lot of invincibility frames.

Got to Act 4 with Cherry, but on hard it's really hard. Just annoying enemy attacks which grab you while they flash red for one millisecond. I would try again on normal but honestly it's kind of eh so far. The graphics are nice. The music is..okay I guess. It's not great so far. I dunno

I am good I swear. Hard just seems unfair with enemies being able to hit me when I've grabbed someone and I'm stuck in the animation of hitting them, I get hit from another enemy who is doing a jumpkick animation which I cannot dodge. There is no downward roll to quickly change lane.

The Comissioner boss also seemed kinda cheesy with his fucking grabs you cannot dodge.

I want to play on Normal but Id have to restart over again since you cant change it on your current game.

Also in "Arcade" mode you only get one credit to finish the entire game and you cant save.

I'm guessing you chose hard thinking that normal would be baby easy like most games released nowadays? Everything that you're saying is cheesy is true, but that's how old beatemups were. You're definitely not gonna get through hard mode with no difficulties on your first playthrough. :lol

I'm really enjoying it four stages in. Started with Axel, but switched to Blaze after I got game over on the first stage. I'm pulling off longer combos with her so far.

I just played up to chapter 5? Maybe 6 on normal. Feels a lot more fair.

Oh yeah except when they throw 10 knife guys at you all running around when you're trying to kick the shit out of them (I guess I should have picked up the large lance whatever type weapon right away). I never really liked the knife guys in SOR but they always were pretty easy to dodge, but now they really throw them in there when you are already fighting dudes who can use Liu Kang's flying kick and the black dudes who can uppercut you.

I played Cherry and she was on Blaze. Blaze looks so good in this game :aah

I keep fucking up though and doing the back attack in combos by accident. IDK why. Maybe it's fight n' rage muscle memory making me go for the jump after the launcher. Game feels so good. Can't wait until I really get to grips with the systems and start beating ass. It's refreshing how old school it is. Need to get back to basics, use throws for cc and shit like that.

Did y'all know there's secret classic SOR bosses in classic stages? Reminds me of Doom 2016. Somehow I found the arcade missions but never find myself in those levels, yet I saw someone break one on stream and was surprised cause I broke every machine I found.

It looks like the secret to accessing the fights is to pick up a taser and zap an arcade machine with it!

https://youtu.be/JHaLUaPrMss

That's a remix of an older SOR track, the track up there is new composition. I wasn't comparing them either.

I can understand that you really love SORR, it's a great fan game. But you need stop being so fixated on comparing them. One is a compilation of sorts of the OG's made by fans who added as much as they could, the other is a brand new game following up the OG's. It's not the remake though I'm sure it took some inspiration from it. You can like SORR better, but acting upset over SOR4 not being SORR is not doing you any favors. It was never going to be it.

I don't understand why not. Streets of Rage Remake is clearly the pinnacle of the Streets of Rage series. It combines the best elements of all Streets of Rage games into one gem of a game.

Don't like running/rolling? Turn it on/off
Don't want weapons to have health etc? Turn it on/off
Don't like the special combo style? Change it to SoR1 or SoR2 style

Want to play just the SOR1 / SOR 2 / SOR 3 levels you can. Oh also we have a new route with entire new maps/stages to go through. And they also all have branching paths.

The fact that it was a fan made game shouldnt matter. In fact if a team of fans can create something that stands above official releases, I'm inclined to say its a bit sad to see that paid developers cannot produce something on par or better.

The fact that this game (so far, stage 6) isn't doing anything new or interesting is sad. Okay the health regain mechanic is nice, and so is throwing a weapon and catching it. But that is very minor additions.

The fact that most levels have two or three screens, before you get to a boss is .. lame. No branching paths? What? It feels very by the numbers.

In some cases, there is no GO arrow displayed on screen. Enemies swarm you, but you barely have any defensive options to deal with them. They stay out of your reach, and while you move towards them, another enemy is charging up an unblockable attack, or a knife dude comes running at you.

There being no roll severely hurts the game. Try playing on hard without Cherry in one player mode, and see how fucked it is. I would be interested to see it really. Maybe I'm just playing it wrong.

I am saying this is a bad game by any means. Yes this is something new, but that doesn't make it automatically better than something old. And it being made by a team of paid devs actually makes it so much less impressive, than what a team of hard working fans put together.

All the music in SoRR is miles ahead of what I've heard from the game so far. It lacks oomph, it doesn't pump me up at all. And neither do the sound effects, they also lack oomph.

I will continue playing tomorrow, I want to unlock those SoR3 characters and see how they impact gameplay. I imagine the game feel much better with it.

You see the game uses SoR 3 enemies and AI, but it doesn't give you the tools to deal with them in a creative way. The only way to get out of shit is just to mash your special attack and hope you dont get hit on wakeup to recover your health.

Im also sure in coop even on hard you can still steamroll stages itself, not in solo play.

I think adding some defensive options like Fight n Rage has would be greatly appreciated. A parry maybe? A well timed block? Something man. Something new. The enemies have all this mobility and you get jack shnozz.

Got it to boot once after like 20 attempts on the Game Pass/Windows Store version.

And then I got to find out that it's one of the many windows store version games that breaks the d-pad diagonals and forces you to play on the analog sticks. MvC Infinite was like that too. I think maybe every windows store game has that issue but most games don't use d-pad for anything besides left/right/up/down these days so it's not noticeable outside fighters or 2d kind of games. So even when they patch the windows store version to boot properly it's probably always going to not work with the d-pad.

Game Pass is awesome, but windows store is such trash.

For $22 I'll just buy the steam version and not have to put up with this shit.

Been debating whether to turn off some of the quick back attacks.  Sometimes it annoys me and I get pummled, sometimes it saves my ass... I may just try the legacy controls, but I like picking up items with a separate button.  Decisions.

Otherwise, this game radiates SOR vibes in a lot of great ways.  I'm digging it.

Yeah honestly slowing down is a big part of why I like Blaze and Axel. Actually learning the utility of your combos no matter how basic or not flashy etc.

On the scoring system front, in story mode at least it seems you definitely want to be clearing levels with a lot of health, extra lives and as many stars as possible. Clearing Stage 2 consistently on normal with 5 stars, 3 lives and maybe quarter health seems to net me a B grade nearly every time?

Here's an S-rank on Hard and it doesn't seem like there's some "trick". The extreme scores on the leaderboard have to be a cheat or bug of some kind, this guy only gets 28k for an S-rank.

- Don't lose health + lives (seems like the biggest factor with a 7,000 score at the end)
- Stay full when eating food - you get points instead
- Don't worry about making sick combos for score
- Don't use star power (but also seems like the least biggest factor in score, only 500 points per star)
- Go... fast? I guess? It seems like this guy took his time (only 2,800 score at the end)

Got the LRG LE- didn't sell right out like they predicted.

lol yeah that was easy.

Sold out now.  So it took a few minutes instead of a few seconds, for once.  I see there's also ANOTHER bundle with the vinyl soundtrack included for $200.

Here's an S-rank on Hard and it doesn't seem like there's some "trick". The extreme scores on the leaderboard have to be a cheat or bug of some kind, this guy only gets 28k for an S-rank.

- Don't lose health + lives (seems like the biggest factor with a 7,000 score at the end)
- Stay full when eating food - you get points instead
- Don't worry about making sick combos for score
- Don't use star power (but also seems like the least biggest factor in score, only 500 points per star)
- Go... fast? I guess? It seems like this guy took his time (only 2,800 score at the end)

that makes sense since I had around 20-21k for the B rank

Hit 21k on Stage 1 (Normal) and got an A rank

Hit 25k on Stage 2 (Normal) and got an S rank

Curious if stages have different requirements or its a flat requirement across all levels / difficulties

It seems like to get a good rank you simply ignore the FLASHY COOL COMBOS WOW system

What did you think overall, demi? Interested in your viewpoint.

I just finished a playthrough (Axel - Normal) and it was much better the second time - mostly A/S ranks

I think it's fun, but the armor/i-frames enemies get is annoying along with their sudden wake-ups.
The worst enemy is easily the tazer-cops their grab is stupid and can get you from half screen.

Gonna play with all characters for the achievements. Just unlocked Skate ("All SOR2 Characters") so I imagine SOR3 characters are next

Yeah, I just got to stage 5 and really liking it but my only complaint so far is the super armor and half-screen grabs. Been grabbed by taser cops a bunch.

Also I suck at Floyd, every other character I got through the stages fine, but when I tried Floyd I died like halfway through stage 4. I really like Cherry. Her moveset is awesome. Guitar movesets are always awesome. Her HP seemed really low though compared to the others, not sure if it was just in my head or she has less HP. Axel and Blaze are great.

I do miss the old school tactics of basing things around stun-locking, but otherwise this seems really good. Looking forward to doing a bunch of runs.

something about the timing with axel feels right

Yeah I've seen people not able to figure out Axel right away calling him low tier, but they end up stuck at the cop shield enemies and I never had an issue with him with Axel. Dude's a tank and gives out a nice deal of damage with enough maneuverability. He's also not THAT slow, or even slow at all, not sure what these impatient fucks are huffing.

Oh yeah, I still don't have a good strategy for the shield cops. They aren't bad 1 on 1, but with 2 or more of them I find them pretty annoying to fight without letting their shields regen.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now

Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Rufus on May 02, 2020, 09:39:16 AM
Beat the game with Blaze yesterday cause I didn't want to switch to another character in the middle of a playthrough.

I tried all characters briefly after beating it and Axel didn't appeal to me for some reason. Maybe his range? I like Adam better, but I kept dashing behind enemies instead of doing his special. Cherry is weird. Her sprite makes it difficult to tell at a glance what plane you're on. Floyd is probably my favourite. His special is excellent.

Also, screw the secret ice level, aka the bath house. Stupid slippery floor. >:(

The more I play Cherry the more I might have to put her at the bottom of the list. The game wants you to play passive and cautious, and Cherry's fast movement and her low strength and range make her kinda weak.

And she doesn't have a throw for crowd control. That's a pretty useful tool.

Something to keep in mind for dealing with enemies: keep hitting them before they hit the ground, you don't even need screen clears as there's a lot of walls you can knock enemies into which keeps everything flowing. Like shown here:

I want a playlist option so bad..I only like half the soundtrack, and the track selection for the retro OST isn't ideal (no dreamer, iffy contextual use, game gear tracks). As is I leave retro ost on until i get to chinatown and toggle it back on after the concert.   :doge

Love the game though. It's got some minor stuff that may or may not annoy me more over time (you should be able to grab out of or break some enemy's super armor given how prevalent it is, i think juggling should happen less frequently) but overall I like all the added enemies, bosses, and I really like the art. Great sequel.  :)

Post by: Bebpo on May 03, 2020, 10:37:40 PM
Got to stage 10, still liking it but the game is weird. Difficulty is all over the place.

Like a lot of these enemies are really easy because they can be thrown, like the Muay Thai guys and Karate guys I just throw them back and forth. Hell even the fire breathing guys can be thrown and I thought you couldn't throw them in the original because of their weight. So like on the elevator stage, I just broke a window and tossed everyone out. Ez pz. And then Max had very telegraphed easy to avoid attacks. Even Shiva was pretty easy.

But then you have earlier stages with all these shield guys, super armor grab cops and bosses like commissioner with all his super armor and 75% screen instant grabs (and double team on the train!) or that stage 5 karate guy and sections like the dojo in chinatown with 8 million guys and if you lose crowd control for a sec you're swarmed (first time on the stage didn't lose any health on the 2 dojo screens with the spears, 2nd time I lost 2 lives on those two screens).

It's just weird. Instead of progressively getting tougher, it's like you never know when a stage will be easy/hard and bosses easy/hard. Odd balance.

Game seems a bit easier in co-op, me and a buddy blasted through many stages online until dying on the damn toxic gas level by getting juggled by that shit. Good game, looking forward to getting better. Currently enjoying Floyd as my main char

Hardest achievements are "Clear Arcade on Hard" and "S-rank Hard" I only say that because the rest are pretty easy.
Those two achievements weren't hard for me after playing the game a shitload for the "All Clear" achievements, but overall those would be my picks by default.

I did a playthrough on Mania for the last million because you get points if you clear a stage on a difficulty you haven't. So any S-rank on Mania I got would give me ~100k points

Cleared this, would’ve beat the last stage on my first run but the robot leg zig zags with the fire trail kept fucking me up wherever I was. Beat on second try.

Pretty good game. A lot of weird design choices but overall quality fighting and some good bosses. I was using Axel and at first I wasn’t doing much damage on bosses between super armor, but then I noticed there still is stun lock to a degree so I started doing

ppp, ppp, pp->ff+p->f+special->Star attack combos and boss fights were much shorter and more manageable. I do the same combo without the star attack on normal guys. I like how you can recover HP lost from specials, making them less dangerous to use.

It’s a little strange how lives/score/stars don’t carry over and it’s stage based scoring.
I started an arcade run but even there none of my stars carried over to stage 2 (not sure about lives)

The game is way too fucking long for an arcade mode without saving. No continues, sure. But let me fucking save are you kidding me.

Some of the stages are too long, some are short, there’s a lot of boss re-use.

From first run, not exactly loving it, but pretty good. Definitely better than 3, not as good as 2 and idk where I stand with 1.

Will mess around with more runs and characters.

Also finished it a few days ago. Going to start working on a review, already created a nice intro for it.

I think overall it's pretty great, some weird choices here and there though. In the end I'll pick my boy Adam for best to use, most fun character so far. Haven't unlocked the SOR3 characters yet though, so I'll have to get those to see how the roll impacts fighting.

All in all I think it's a worthy successor, even if it doesn't do some of the things I personally want out of it (more mobility for Blaze/Axel (you even see Axel running in the intro), multiple paths, less stages but with more variety basically. The soundtrack is sometimes great, other times it's poop. The retro ost design choices are crazy, why is there no playlist function?

Otherwise the fighting itself is great, there is a lot of room for creativity actually, but there is an optimal way to fight each enemy type. Ofcourse if you're going for S ranks all day then it's a very deliberate game.

Like I literally have the game paused and minimized in arcade mode run and will leave it running for a dozen hours until next time I have time to play. No saving in a 2 hour game is fucking stupid. Would only work in stuff like Switch with a rest mode.

What does it matter if you play on Arcade or Story mode? There are no differences. Play Story mode instead if you are going to pout

Post by: Bebpo on May 04, 2020, 04:53:41 PM
I thought arcade was a closer experience to the original? See how far you can get in one run. Wanted to test myself after beating it and see how far I can go.

Then ... why are you complaining? It is Arcade mode. You can't save in Arcade mode. I'm confused why you are stomping your feet.

Post by: Bebpo on May 04, 2020, 05:09:09 PM
Yeah, but the original game wasn't 12 stages long with stages all long as this.
Also if you play the original SoR1/2/3 anytime in the last 2 decades you have save states.

Just seems boneheaded to make a super long game with no way to save/resume.

And yeah @Bebpo its kinda obvious they're going for "nostalgia" with Arcade mode. Like, on the Mega Drive you had to sit your ass down and beat the game in one go. Assuming thats what they're going for and its an intentional design choice.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now

Except on the megadrive you got continues and your live/scores added over (I believe lives do in arcade mode)

So this is just some weird construction between the two

Yeah, I'm gonna bail on arcade mode and finish FFVIIr. In addition to the above, I keep mentioning that this game is waaay longer than the old games. It's a crazy long beat em up. Probably could be 3/4ths as long and tighter tbh.

Will just resume in story mode next session.

I still like it a lot. Probably like the enemy/level design better than Fight N' Rage. Though SoR4 could use a few more enemy types.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Himu on May 04, 2020, 11:16:16 PM
Got this via game pass (thanks for the five bucks tip) and it's fantastic. This is a controversial opinion but I don't find SoR games to be particularly great beat em ups. I greatly prefer Ninja Warriors (Return is my favorite beat em up of all time), Final Fight, Dungeons and Dragons: Mystara, Double Dragon, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and AvP. I'd also rather play Musou or The Warriors. I think it's the purest case of games that are regarded as masterpieces partly because the music is so good. 3 US is almost unplayable and 1 and 2 always felt plain Jane as far as beat em ups go for me. That's not to say I think they're bad, but I don't rate them highly and I'm always confused when people say 2 is the best beat em up of all time.

So when I say this is great, it's great. The level design, enemy encounters, player moveset, player options, boss fights, and overall feel are just far better than any SoR before it. It's the first SoR game I've played that I could say is a top tier beat em up.

Good shit.

Post by: Bebpo on May 04, 2020, 11:19:20 PM
Nm, beat arcade mode on normal with Blaze. Wasn't too bad, only took about 90 mins.

2nd run was fun. Knowing how to deal with all the enemies & bosses definitely made it less intense since you could abuse tactics on all of them. With arcade mode since your lives carry over the worst is when you lose a life on a dumb set of mobs which happened to me at like 2 spots. Crowd control can be the hardest if you get out of hand even with specials, no matter the enemy, 1 on 1 or 2 or 3 enemies is way easier to deal with.

Unlocked all the SoR1 characters, eh, nostalgia's fun, but limited moveset is whatever.


So playing the whole game through as Blaze, she just seemed like a worse Axel. Less damage, shorter range, and her FF+P move doesn't combo continue as well as Axel's fire upper. Best damage combo I could do as Blaze was PP, PPP, FF+P, special, star and it definitely did less damage than Axel. Also her attack range seemed a little shorter and her throw range maybe too idk. Basically didn't see any advantages to using her over Axel.

For next run, will try hard on story mode with Cherry and the other guy and Adam.

On Mr. Y, how do you dodge his tracking gun shot? One of the only moves I couldn't figure out how to ever dodge. I tried jumping up to invincible frames but still seemed to get hit.

Just looked up the rest of the unlockables.

I don't get why SoR4 Shiva & Max aren't unlockable? They already have sprites, shouldn't be that much work to have made them playable.
Not really interested in SoR1/2/3 characters, so will just give a full run with Cherry/Arm guy/Adam and call it a day.

Nah.

Blaze FF+P shrinks her hurtbox, allows her to link between punch, punch and just clear all around clears crowds. I went through an entire level mostly just spamming her FF+P and barely taking damage.

Axel FFP has high recovery and far more limited use.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Bebpo on May 04, 2020, 11:28:40 PM
Oh and enemy-wise, the bane of my existence are:

-Super cop Barney - Lost an entire lifebar on one of these jerks with all their stupid grabs at a spot in stage 7 or 8 with other enemies.
-Sliding duck king guys - thought they were a joke until every once a while they throw my ass when I'm not expecting it and I get screwed
-Biker gals - pretty easy, but if you lose crowd control can hit you hard, so much damage
-Fist guys when they have weapons to throw - can be pretty fast and hit you hard. Once I see them with a weapon I'm jump kicking them just to not deal with getting something thrown in my face.

I actually don't mind the shield guys on 2nd run, now they're pretty easy to fight.

Pretty sure I've been hit out of Blaze's FF+P, especially at the end. Doesn't really seem any better than Axel's FF+P.

old unlockable characters are actually pretty broken and cheezy.

I used SOR1-Axel for all my S-Ranks, using SOR3-Axel for a couple levels. His attacks are beefy and he has actually great range. His "star power" attack is glitched or something because literally deletes the final robot boss in 1 hit if you are lucky. Otherwise 2 Star Powers and it's dead.

I used SOR3-Skate for the "no-hit" achievement on a level since his (-> Y) move has insane i-frames and I can spam it (on easy mode anyway) and farm the boss and enemies.

Don't sleep on them just because they feel "limited" if anything they show how limited the SOR4 characters are
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Bebpo on May 05, 2020, 12:18:30 AM
Nah, SoR2/3 movesets are just as good. SoR1 is just kinda of limited since you just have punch combo, back punch, jump punch, throw and cop support special.

It's not bad, and I thoroughly enjoyed SoR1 when I played it last year as it still holds up and is designed around the small moveset.

But SoR4 which is designed around a larger moveset, would prefer SoR2 and beyond characters. I agree SoR1 Axel is beefy in his attacks and seemed pretty strong, but it just gets boring fast imo with him.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now

Then use SOR3-Axel. He's pretty much better than SOR4 Axel in every way - he even gets to dash and vertical dodge

Gonna be another run probably to unlock him. My score ranks are bad and I don't even know why. I'm getting through levels quickly without losing a life and sometimes not even using all my star attacks and I still get a D or C. I think the best I've gotten is a B?

I should probably look up how the scoring works.

Yeah I just tried SOR1 Blaze just to see  And it seems like she hits like a truck. Mostly I have played coop, so maybe they beef up the enemies more for that, but almost every enemy was just one combo and they were dead.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Bebpo on May 05, 2020, 01:11:54 AM
Nah, that's just how their HPs are. They increase SoR1 character damage output to make up for their lack of combos, but it's probably faster.

That reminds me, I've never played a brawler coop since Snes days in the 90s. Maybe I'll give online a try.

The biggest factor is survivability. You want to eat food at full health for points. Can you survive fights without relying on food? It's ok to eat an apple or a turkey here and there but you should try to be able to do fights with minimal damage.

Yes its a scam.
There’s no scam. They are the only one selling physical copies in the US. They can’t stop the publisher from making other regional versions. This is not the first time there have been other region versions of games they released.

And overpriced? It’s $34.99? The Japanese version is $50. The Euro version I saw was 35.

Where’s the scam? If you pre-orders you’re going to get a physical copy. There’s no fraud. Just impatient people mad that they have to wait, LRG is upfront about you having to wait.

I can see them having some claus in thier contact that would keep another English Euro release from releasing until a certain time, but that's what Publishers will do. Reverse importing is still a thing. Often, Japanese anime publishers will make sure the American release is well after the more expensive Japanese release. Is that a scam too?

You want to get mad at LRG, but I mean who else was interested in publishing a physical copy in NA? It probably deserved one, but clearly Sega passed on it.

Where did they lie and say they were the only ones selling the game worldwide?  Again, the Japanese version got announced last week and pre-order listings popped up from importers like Play-Asia.  How is this LRG's fault?  Would like to see something from Merge Games confirming that LRG forced them to hold back their own pre-order listing, otherwise this is a bunch of nonsense.

This is awesome but it seems quite a bit more difficult than the classics. Like I can make it to the end of SOR 2 after not having played it in 15 years on one continue, but this shit has me dying every stage at least once before I pass it with a C or D :lol

Definitely gets easier after the first run. The enemy & boss patterns (at least on normal compared to normal SoR2) are generally easier imo.

This- I guess there could have been an exclusivity pre-order campaign thing in place, but I don't recall LRG ever being secretive about stuff like this.  Switch games come out from different publishers and in different regions all the time- Strictly Limited Games had a limited release of The Ninja Warriors, but then pre-orders for an Asian version came up, followed by the U.S. release months later.  I don't see how this is any different.

Blah, dude is too frustrating to play as well. At least SoR2's Max has the slide and shoulder run special, this guy just has no movement options.

Adam is my favorite too. He just has so much mobility. His forward special is great to move across the scree  and his air special allows you to extend a jump. I don’t think anyone else can quite match that.

The SOR3 characters are pretty good for the most part too.

After doing a normal run with him, I now know for a fact that I don't like playing as Axel. Which is fine since everyone seems to love him and I enjoy playing as all the other 4 mains. Floyd is huge, but even he feels like he has more range and mobility than Axel.

Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: toku on May 06, 2020, 01:51:05 PM
I'm consistently doing better with Axel so. He actually has great range with his regular X combo.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Bebpo on May 06, 2020, 02:49:50 PM
Yeah, I still think Axel is the best.

Adam's moveset is more versatile but Axel is the perfect balance of power without being too slow. I still find Cherry really fun, but her short range on her punches sucks. But that FF+P fire knee dash move is great. She's just fun to play as. Adam is fun to play as too.

For me in terms of fun: Axel > Adam > Cherry > Blaze > Arm guy (can't ever remember his name since I rarely play as him)


Also I noticed a weird thing playing as SoR1 characters yesterday. When I'd hit the special/star for the police bazooka cut-in, I'd always get hit and die while frozen in place for a second before the bazooka shot landed. This happened like 3 times on hard mode and fucked me over where I'd use the move when low on life and surrounded to try to clear space and I'd die because I used the move. Seems busted.

Yeah, you said that move is awesome and broken for some parts like the robot.

But it definitely killed me about 3 times last night. After the cutscene ends you're frozen in place while the bazooka bomb crashes and meanwhile the enemies can still move for like 1/2 second and hit you while frozen. Seems like a bug.

This is the GOAT 2D beat em up (GOAT 3D beat em up is MK Shaolin Monks, obv)

This, The Takeover, Fight'N Rage, and River City Girls this gen. 
:rejoice

Some really good/great 2D beat-em-ups have been released following some less-than-stellar efforts like Double Dragon IV.  There's also Raging Justice, which is...uh...could be better.  I just can't get over how the main character looks like a pissed-off Larry King.

Might have to do this with Axel. Blaze is too easy thanks to her crouching kick. Axel will bring more challenge.

Limited Run Games is now allowing for all Streets Of Rage 4 pre-orders to be canceled- they are saying that they not only had no knowledge of Merge Games getting rights to release the game, but it appears that they were kind of blindsided by them also announcing a U.S. release with pre-orders up already.

Post by: Don Rumata on May 09, 2020, 05:21:23 AM
I played a bit of this.
The art is really fantastic, and the animations feel really punchy.
However i won't be playing more of it, because i finally realized why i hated the genre, even though i played quite a bit of it as a kid: I hate moving and trying to hit things on the Z axis, in 2d games.
It's one of those frustrating "thread the needle" sensations, i couldn't put my finger on it back then, but i finally realized it.
Probably why i thought Fighting Force was amazing back then, even though it was kind of a shit game, it was because of the 3d graphics not having that problem.   :thinking
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Bebpo on May 09, 2020, 02:05:59 PM
I kind of see the genre has 50% puzzle games where it's about learning how to move along the axis to avoid each enemy/boss type and get your hits in without taking damage. Kind like a Contra game but way less punishing. The other 50% is figuring out good damage combos and situational awareness for when your strategies mess up.

I find it fun learning all that stuff for the enemies/bosses, but then I'm kind of over it because it feels repetitive to me.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now

The bosses in particular seem to be very get wrecked until you have the secret down. That secret usually being something  like, they cant hit a certain part of the screen or they're wide open after X move. Part of why I think I seem to do better with the slow characters is because I'm usually patient, waiting for an opening with them.

Yeah, I fucking hate the dojo. Crowd control is the most unpredictable, toughest party of trying not to lose lives and the dojo is like the worst crowd control bit in the game. You let it get out of hand for 1 second and you're swamped and fucked. My general strategy is to stay on one side and keep throwing the enemies as they appear on that side to the other side to group them all and then alternate between whacking the group with a long weapon and throwing enemies coming out on my side. But it's just so easy to miss an enemy and take a hit and then you're in real trouble.

Doesn't help the Chinatown stage feels like the longest stage in the game.
Title: Re: Streets Of Rage 4 - Out Now
Post by: Himu on May 12, 2020, 03:44:18 PM
I've learned that better spacing really helps. At first I start in a corner but as they get more numerous it's best to get out and get an advantage in spacing while using the back attack to keep enemies at bay. Get the enemies on a horizontal lining all at once and toss your weapon for hits. If you're Cherry, this is an opportunity to use a ground special for free damage.

The fact Iconoclast managed to beat it on Mania so fast with all characters is distressing. I'm pretty good at games but he's on another level. I have to admit that I'm jealous of his skill. :obama

Oh... damn, my bad.  Too early in the morning to actually read I suppose.  :-[
It was bumped on REEEEEEEEEE, so I thought it was new news.
I kinda gave up at the final boss.. I dunno if I should just suck it up and add a handicap (like an extra life or two) just to beat it.
The key to the last boss(es) is to just focus on one of them at a time.  Whoever doesn't jump into the robot crab tank thing, just stay on top of them, but let them come to you on the far left or right of the screen.  Should be able to dodge the claws from it in those areas easier.  Once they're down, use the same method to just focus on the left or right claw after it does whatever animation and moves back to it's default stance.  Rinse and repeat.....
... of course, now with the last big update they made, they completely and utterly fucked up the last stage with it's new enemy placement and spawns.   It's now a slog that comes off more annoying than challenging.   :maf  Not sure why they messed with it.  It's like a randomizer was used and left it in this random state.  They really kind of fucked it up..   Wish I got the trophies prior to it.  Hope it gets fixed down the road.... still love playing it from time to time.

DLC out today!  Seems the latest update already downloads it, but you just have to unlock it.  :doge

Tried it out real quick.  Estel and Shiva are both bad-ass and play really quick and smooth.  Max is... Max, But it's nice to see him playable finally.  Not sure how to unlock customizable moves yet, but I'll hopefully get to that this weekend.. Probably via Boss Rush and/or Survival.  As for character aesthetics, all the SOR4 mains (including the DLC characters) have about 4-5 color palette swaps to select from.  Some for example; they have one with Alex with gray hair, one with Adam wearing all black :lawd, one with Blaze as a blonde  :phil, and one with Shiva wearing all orange with jet black hair.. total nod to Guy from Final Fight.  :marimo  I was hoping they'd have a full-on color palette swap editor, but these selections may be it.  Maybe unlockable later? Still, better than nothing.  And still no "DJ mode" that I wrote and requested back at launch.  :doge  :P

TBH, I hope to shit that they revised the final level.  The last update completely botched the design and made it unfun.

Pretty awesome to see it still getting support.  This is one of those games I can keep going back to every now and then and with its wide release it's playable on pretty much everything.

Yeah, at some point I'll pick up the DLC and give this another run. Great game for sure.

The DLC was under priced, IMO.  It was a generous amount of content for $7.  The survival arenas were way more fun than expected.  Game rules.

I saw the DLC was half off so I gave it a try along with this new patch.

The survival mode is ok, I like it but it goes on way too long and I hate rogue games that are super long instead of short bursts of challenge. Was ez pz mindless for like 15-20 mins before any challenge, mostly when pit stages started showing up and kept falling into pits. The throwback pixelized stages are neat.

The extra moves you can unlock to switch up your attacks is kinda cool. Messed around with Shiva a bit, haven't tried Max.

Not sure if I'll get more than a few hours out of this since the survival mode runs are just too long for me to play for a bit here and there and not really interested in playing the arcade mode again. But for like $4 I can't really complain.

So I tried this on my steam deck and tried out wrestling guy once. Was going to call it a night but unlocked his alternate f,f+x move and wanted to try it out.

Turns out his dashing clothesline move is ridiculously broken. Just dashed back and forth non-stop across the screen sending enemies flying while getting all the perks I could to buff the move's strength and use star moves in a punch. First run with it:
