Looks like they're gonna announce one more person before release

Too bad Sega killed the true SOR4 https://www.myabandonware.com/game/streets-of-rage-remake-cma

Not sure I dig the whole quirky guitar special abilities....I know people might say "but you were OK with a Kangeroo and an aul lad in a robot suit"? I wasn't, I'd much prefer a SOR/SOR2 setup.

So the composers of the soundtrack have been announced and it's pretty much a line up of the best 8 and 16 bit composers:

And yes, Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima are on board.

Ohhhh yes! Was hoping Yuzo would come on for this, hopefully with a bag full of some of that SOR 1 & 2 soundtrack magic to be sprinkled over it

Are you playing this on Windows 10? It just crashes 5 seconds after loading for me and messes with my graphics card/MSI program.

They should have that iconic streets of rage music in the background

Also. Can you use weapons like in the original SOR?

Looks great and has that retro feel.

Looks like Blaze has been hitting the protein!

I wasn't initially wild on the art style myself but the design and sound seems great, so it's swayed me. Double Dragon Neon was pretty good but it was visually quite different than this. Game was very well received as well, apart from that infamous IGN review which having read it again just last night, is suspiciously way off base, like something set out to hate it before even playing it. Pretty much every comment on the article is raising questions about the reviewer! Overall though a very decent game.

Ten of Swords

Not a fan of the art style, gameplay looks good but it really reminds me of Double Dragon Neon (which was awful). I'll give it a go.

That said, the fan made version SORR (Streets of Rage Remake) that was released for free a few years ago was great fun and I sunk hours into it, a compilation of all levels, characters, enemies and bosses from all 3 games (and branching storylines), it was challenging.

Loving the wall bounce and combo’s.

I think i found maybe my favorite song from the first 2 games. Give this a listen...

The Specialist

"My Little Baby" (the good ending track for SOR1) is still my all time favorite piece of game music. It's incredible to think the Mega Drive could play something that is still stuck in my head 26 years later

Retr0gamer

Streets of Rage 3's soundtrack is really good, just very experimental and as a result doesn't suit the game as well as the Detroit house music from the first two. It's a really interesting soundtrack by itself and it's creation is really interesting. Strange to think that back in 1994 you had a videogame with such an avant garde soundtrack.

Well I say it's good but that disco area music can go suck all the dick.

YouSavedMyLife

Wasn't a fan of 3s soundtrack, I would even go as far as to say it's bad. Had another listen to it there after reading your post and alot of it just sounds like noise.

Whereas with 1 and 2 each track had this groovy jazz type sound along with the great melodies, they are all classics and unforgettable that it makes it hard for me to pick a favourite

TerrorFirmer

Not wild on the art style either but excited about the game.

Hopefully the music is better than the trailer though and more like the original games. The soundtrack in 3 was the business.

I was sure I played a game on the NES with Blaze as a character, yet my googling returns nothing.
I have it in my head that rollerblades were involved yet all that returns is Rollergames.
Maybe I made it up, yet I wasn't a Sega kid.

Oh that absolutely reeks of "I was supposed to announce this later, so you may wait until I officially do" :pac:

This has always been fine for me. Played it about a week ago.

Agreed. And since Yuzo is now touring doing remastered versions of the soundtrack live, theres no reason they couldn't use these in the soundtrack.

Koshiro owns the rights to the music. But it's not like he isn't available. He does freelance work and is doing the Etrian odyssey soundtracks still.

I am shocked Sega did not make it look like the older streets of rage ?.

Look at Sonic Menia that style worked so well for Sonic old school retro game style with a the old school gameplay with a new twist

Sega aren't involved in this one aside from a partnership deal, and they only published Sonic Mania

The difference between Sonic Mania and SoR4 is that Christian Whitehead was already known for modernising old Sonic games while retaining their aesthetic - his version of Sonic 2 is regarded by some to be the best version of it (don't quote me on that, I just heard comments of that ilk)

If you look at Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, made by the same developer as SoR4, that game has a pretty similar art-style, and is also a remake of Wonder Boy III.

I think the best way to experience any modern incarnation of Streets of Rage while retaining the original artstyle would be to get a hold of Streets of Rage: Remake on PC. Very decent fan-game that was made before Sega shut it down.

Sorry. No Koshiro. No dice. He made those games.... literally as he was a coder on them as well!

The man has been putting out incredible music still. Even get his collaborator motohiro kawashima who did some great work on 'oh deer' recently.

Streets of rage was a decent belt scrolling beat me up but the dirty detroit house elevated it to gid like status and gave it a unique atmosphere.
