Streets of Rage 4 will make its way on to PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch! Cherry Hunter is the daughter of Adam Hunter from the original Streets of Rage. Her interest in following in her father’s footsteps and becoming a cop soon faded out, replaced by her love of music. Nowadays, she plays with her electro progressive rock band. Streets of Rage 4 will be the first entry to the core series in 25 years, standing as Axel and Blaze’s glorious return to serving up side-scrolling beatdowns. With lush hand-drawn animations, new combat abilities, and fresh tracks from an amazing team of composers, Streets of Rage 4 will be a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic action fans adore.

Kind of a lame design to be honest. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the guitar either. Hopefully they knock it out of the park with the 4th character.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I like the addition of a rockstar character. could probably have pushed the edgeyness/rock a bit further, but i'm for it. Good concept. guitar feels a bit cumbersome. I think cooler or more unique alternatives coulda been dual wielding drumsticks or a microphone "whip".

regardless im ready. that musics got me going too.

 

[Fake]

Where is Adam?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Hate the new character's design. Looks like something out of Steven Universe. Where is Skate, Adam or Max?

 

[Shifty]

Not a big fan of the guitar, I'd have preferred for them to go the more standard Punch Girl route given that she's Adam's kid.

That said, I'm of the mind that Adam didn't truly shine until Streets of Rage Remake put him in a modern engine:

 

[Labolas]

Rather have the ogs like Adam or Max back.

 

[Saber]

Nah, its not that bad. Kinda like the hair and design, although I'm not sure theres a reason behind it.

I'm more worried about Adam though.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

She just looks really bad next to Blaze. Shame they decided to go all tumblr looking for their second female character. The next character is obviously going to the robot dude from part 3 or his son.

 

[mejin]

garbage

 

[Starlight Lotice]

The artstyle on the trailer isn't great but the way she moves is interesting.

How many years later is this if Adam has a teenaged daughter?

 

[Ristifer]

I think it'll grow on me. Not hating it, though.

 

[stranno]

I want to see the Mecha-Haggar.

 

[Deleted member 738976]

Man face.

 

[iconmaster]

That character is the game’s MadCatz controller, for when you have over a less-than great friend.

Clever to build it into the software itself.

 

[Mechanized Attacker]

terrible art design, and that's being nice!

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Her character design is a little boring, but the game still looks great, imo.

Edit: I do like her design over that of Eddie from SoR2, so there's that.

 

[Birdo]

Not my Adam.

 

[Vow of Silence]

At least we’ll still have the old games.

 

[Punished Miku]

She's kinda lame.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

MEH.

 

[Birdo]

I just remembered where I recognise that name......

Cherry-Boy Hunter from Redline.

 

[Klart]

She's not that great (don't like the guitar gimmick), but I do like the references to brother & father.

HOWEVER: HOW DID NOONE NOTICE THE RETURN OF SHIVA!

He just has to be unlockable, no? Here's hoping for even more unlockables .

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Oh no is zan not gonna be there

 

[tkscz]

Damn it, can we stop replacing Adam. Also not a fan of the guitar to fight,

electro progressive rock band.

That made me cringe

 

[iconmaster]

Maybe Cherry is the sacrifice play to keep Twitter off the devs' backs about how attractive Blaze is.

 

[bravoguy]

Seems not good.

 

[Ristifer]

I think the game is looking fantastic.

 

[Murdoch]

Switch confirmed... boom.

 

[Klart]

"Cherry will be joined by other characters soon, so stay tuned for more news!"

That means we're getting at least five!

 

[EightBit Man]

Sometimes less is more. I wish developers would understand that.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Looks better than:

Adam was my fave in SOR1.

Hope his daughter plays solid.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Pff, that design is tumblr as all hell. Not feeling it at all.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

"Looks" better without sound.

Hope they'll change sound effects to ones with more impact.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Oh no is zan not gonna be there

It is going to be his son Zune. Expect blue or purple hair.

 

[SALMORE]

i see a new enemy ! the bald judo guy

 

[Enjay]

Damn, Yuzo Koshiro is still suck in Streets of Rage 3 mode so to go along with the shitty new grounds flash game graphics we have an electronic seizure for our bgm.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I hope Mona and Lisa are also here and are as hot as Blaze. No more Tumblr shit please.

 

[Ristifer]

Damn, Yuzo Koshiro is still suck in Streets of Rage 3 mode so to go along with the shitty new grounds flash game graphics we have an electronic seizure for our bgm.

If you took five seconds to read, you'd see that it wasn't even Yuzo who composed this music.

Just say you don't want to play the game and stop talking out of your ass.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Looks like cherry plays like skate.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Game will make a lot of $. Big market for these types of games right now.

 

[Petrae]

Hard pass from me here, based on not at all liking the visuals and the weird gameplay additions (like juggles). I’ll stick with SoR2.

 

[JoeyWestSide]

We have a date on this?

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Well, there's the younger "Skate"-like character! Like her design and her combo potential looks fucking sick!

 

[Enjay]

If you took five seconds to read, you'd see that it wasn't even Yuzo who composed this music.

Just say you don't want to play the game and stop talking out of your ass. Sorry for being harsh but I feel very fragile about the amount of complaints against a game from a series I heard from my uncles was the shit.

Seek help immediately.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

It is going to be his son Zune. Expect blue or purple hair.

NOOOOOOOOOOooooooo! "Power DOWN!"

 

[Orenji Neko]

Game looks great and I'm looking forward to it. "Eh" to the character though. I always use Blaze on SoR games anyhow.

 

[Ristifer]

Seek help immediately.

Nice edit, but the point still stands. It's okay if you don't want to play the game. It's not going to satisfy everyone. But do your research. Your bias is a lazy one.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Cherry Hunter was my nickname in highschool

 

[SegaShack]

Im a huge SoR fan, it is one of my favorites. I keep giving this team a chance, but the trailers never feel right. This reeks of 2008-2010 garbage 2.5D revival era.
