Soon to me means within a month.

Yeah I've been waiting forever for the release date. They said spring 2020, so I'd imagine before end of June sometime.

It was originally march iirc. So im hoping sooner than June.

 

[Pejo]

That was unexpected. Looks hilarious with a mix of the new enemies and stages with the retro characters, but that was a cool nod for the devs to add in. Still waiting for some gameplay impressions once the game releases before I pick it up, but this is pretty cool.

April 23rd from what is being said with the Nintendo EU Shop.

 

[Cravis]

Where is Roo? At least Shiva is playable

 

[SleepDoctor]

That'd be great

 

[Xenon]

Gimmie!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

This new video and info makes the game look much better than before.

 

[GreatnessRD]

Too bad they don't have a Genesis edition for PC. I would've even taken the digital key in the box. That bitch looks spicy!

 

[kunonabi]

Retro characters put this back on my radar since the new characters and Axl redesign had turned me off.

 

[SALMORE]

i notice that Max has glowing red eyes in the art ! so i assume that he's going to be brainwashed in the game and then you will face him as boss or something

 

[Deleted member 738976]

Should have done the entire game with sprites but with lighting effects to still make it look new. I would have a played Streets of Rage game with The Last Night graphics.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Man they didn't even bother to redraw them.

 

[JunkerWoland]

This is a nice feature for those looking forward to SoR4, but as someone turned-off by the game's overall presentation, it's not the type of addition that makes me more interested in the product.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Do you like worse visuals and animation? Well now there's Retro mode! Nope. Will not be using that mode.

 

[JimboJones]

That's so cool

 

[Dark Rider]

I will get this for sure but they need to apply proper scaling and cleaning for the retro sprites they look out of place.

 

[skneogaf]

I can't wait for this, I've just received streets of rage 1 and 2 vinyl from data discs as I love the soundtrack.

 

[RAIDEN1]

To say it has huge weight on its shoulders to deliver is an under-statement....

 

[GV82]

Awww hell yes, my hype just went up some notches for this game now, liking the retro stuff & extra characters, would have been nice for an unlockable all retro mode or if the bad guys looked like retro sprites too, but never mind

Old school Skate

More importantly classic Axel

Nice edition I’ll buy it!

 

[Enjay]

This is going to be even worse than that panzer dragoon attempt.

 

[Needlecrash]

I nearly lost my shit watching this. It's gonna be available on Game Pass on day 1. I pre-ordered the Standard and Classic edition for Switch and PS4. Might get it on PC too. I'm fucking hyped for this.

 

[Saber]

Very interesting feature. I use it alot on Wonderboy Dragons Trap.

 

[Needlecrash]

I wonder if you can choose different colors and voices for the Retro characters....

 

[Ristifer]

Looking amazing as usual. I'll probably still use the new character designs, though. At least the first time through the game.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Badass.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Dude is this an April Fools Joke this is AMAZING DAY1

 

[drotahorror]

damn this looks sick, nice surprise

 

[Enjay]

Very interesting feature. I use it alot on Wonderboy Dragons Trap.

Not the same thing, it would've been awesome if they implemented it the way they did in Dragon's Trap.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Not the same thing, it would've been awesome if they implemented it the way they did in Dragon's Trap.

Not based on an existing game, so that'd be an unreasonably high expectation. I do somewhat expect a pixel conversion for the rest of the game if it is modder friendly.

 

[Saber]

Not the same thing

Don't care, the concept its almost the same. Thats what its important.

 

[Antwix]

Man, I've been so up and down with this game. Some stuff looks good, others bad, but the inclusion of the retro stuff makes this a day 1 buy for me.

 

[ksdixon]

Oh FFS! So Close but no cigar.

You have pixels beating up anime.

Should have done it for every enemy too.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

00:42

Alright guess I'm buying this.

 

[Tesseract]

oh hell yeah

 

[Punished Miku]

This is one of the smartest things they could have done.

I kind of was onto something I guess in the OST thread, as my idea wasn't that far from this. Only they went way above what I was suggesting. Brilliant.

Streets of Rage 4 Soundtrack Information Announced

Click below to reveal the musicians involved:

www.neogaf.com

Streets of Rage's OSTs are pretty small. If he's worried about fans, he should do the following.

1) Get all the original music from the Genesis games in there as unlockables.
2) Rerecord all the original OSTs using the best modern sound equipment you have. All 3 OSTs. This way you have all the old music, and then all the old music remastered and rerecorded.
3) Then write the real OST doing exactly what he wants without concern for what anyone thinks.

Put all of this in the game, along with lots of unlockables that pay tribute to the series' history. No one will complain.

 

[Caffeine]

they got the og characters in well shit this is worth it for 25 bucks then.

 

[yewles1]

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!

 

[Knightime_X]

Sold me with the retro addition.

 

[Enjay]

Not based on an existing game, so that'd be an unreasonably high expectation. I do somewhat expect a pixel conversion for the rest of the game if it is modder friendly.

Truth but I wouldn't want anyone misinformed into thinking it was the same seemless experience that dragon's trap was in relation to their retro mode.

 

[Tesseract]

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Streets of Rage Remake did it first!

 

[Tesseract]

To say it has huge weight on its shoulders to deliver is an under-statement....

indeed, hope it's good

 

[Blood Borne]

Looking good, definitely going to get it.
Anyone know the name of song? Sounds like a “go straight” remix.
Would be nice Shinobi gets the same treatment.

 

[SegaShack]

Gosh this makes me wish the whole game was done in this style. This is the first thing ive seen from the game that actually makes me think its Streets of Rage.
