Is it just me or is this fairly ****ing difficult? I’m playing on easy with Axel but got a game over in the

Chiefs office

in chapter 2. Axel is definitely feeling the years in this, very slow and impossible to avoid attacks.

Well. This is fun. Really enjoying it, cherry is really powerful considering she's not as strong. Fan favourite Axel is slow and cumbersome. Got beat by the first boss using him but smashed through it all with Cherry. Strange feeling that.

Having a ball though.

That is good, gamepass were not promoting the game on their front page so glad I came across this post.

Edit: just played it there and it is fast and fun, something felt off about the controls until I found Legacy mode and now things feel the way they should be.

Wanted to start over on the highest difficulty so i tested out the other 3 characters, none of them can run Am i missing something here? Only Cherry can run and going from playing Cherry to one of the others makes the game feel somewhat clunky and slow.

This is kind of disappointing. Maybe its a balance choice that i will notice when i play through with another character.

Don’t forget you can run and roll with the SOR3 characters as well (plus SOR2 Skate can run).

Have no nostalgia for SoR and little love for the beat 'em up as a genre, but always curious about well-received retro revivals so gave the first two levels a quick whirl there via Game Pass. Maybe it's just using Cherry as a newly designed character (when all else fails, just give a character a guitar!) but it definitely plays very well and smoothly. Love the animations on the dudes casually strutting with their hands in their pockets

Cutscenes (well, still images with text over them) are where the game feels and looks fairly low-budget, but where it counts 'tis is a looker.

As said, no big fan of the genre so this is a curiosity for me as opposed to something I'll fall head over heels for - but what it does, it does well

They added a massive amount of post processing effects since the first trailer. The first trailer looked so flat and dull to me but it really pops now and the characters feel like they belong in the environment instead of looking like they are floating in it.

YouSavedMyLife

Just beat the first level and it really is very very good. I decided to try the new character Cherry. There is alot of diversity in how you attack compared to the older games which were pretty basic. So far i have discovered, juggles, wall bounces into juggles, move cancels, combo cancels into other attacks, grapples from standing and jumping grapples and powering up moves then releasing them after you execute another move to combo them. It really does feel like a fighting game -lite

The graphics also look amazing. The first trailer didn't sell me on the art style but after playing the game it feels so smooth and looks beautiful. Reminds me of a comic book in motion

Nothing really to reinvent the franchise

It's based on nostalgia and I enjoyed the old games at the time

I highly recommend you take a look at Digital Foundry's analysis on all 4 games, where it shows this is more than just for nostalgia

I think this game stands on its own two feet as a solid, modern beat-em up that's done right.

Noob here, save me time plz.

How do I get this?

I bought PS4 a year ago especially for FFVII Remake (which is on its way, yeee).

Do I need playstation plus?

I make an account on the PS4 somewhere, it's still in its box, I never even took it out?

You will need a psn account for the download version, which can be bought here
There will be a limited disc release, orders for which will close next week on https://limitedrungames.com/search?type=product,page&q=Streets%20of%20rage* this will not arrive until July at the earliest.

You will not need to subscribe to PS+ to play unless you want to play online co-op.

YouSavedMyLife

Whats still in its box?

If you want to buy digital go on your playstation, make an account and buy it on the PlayStation store. I think physical release of this game comes in about 3 months from now

If you want to play online co-op then you will most likely need a PS+ account

I don't think it's pure nostalgia that is attractive about the game. More the fact that the genre is so niche these days that people who like it patch on to the best ones we can get.

I loved Dragons Crown with was released recently on the Pro and there is no nostalgia attached to that game. Going to get stuck in after breakfast now

mbarosin

It's up now on Nintendo store. 10% off, so €22.50. Between that and the positive review, kind of need to get it now...

Getting excellent reviews, brilliant to see! It seems to be across the board that they’ve improved the combat while retaining the feel of SoR.

Streets of Rage was a classic “play while pre-drinking” game for us years ago, and with quarantine we’ve recently replayed all of them over online co-op. Still a great way to kill an hour or two. Hyped to go through this one at the weekend!

Exactly what I was thinking but that eurogamer review certainly has peaked my interest

Intrigued by that glowing review. I thought there was a reason this genre died. I would have thought a streets of rage game would have a ceiling. The concept is very simple after all.

You can change the controls to legacy which uses the 3 button layout

Oh I know but it still has the controls swapped, unless they can be changed.

Just finished a session with it there now. This isn't a tacky nostalgia cash grab. This is proper Streets of Rage. The combat feels so good and the music is unreal. I've only played it for over an hour and I think this game is worthy of the number 4, thus far. It's not easy though. Whatever way you played the original games, try and relearn your controls. I went in playing it as if I was playing the Mega Drive games (O to jump, X to attack, [ ] to hit a special attack) and it took a while to rewire my brain to the new input layout. In the original games, the attack button was also used to pick up items. This is not the case anymore. It now has its own command (in the PS4's case: the O button), so no more battering enemies and halfway accidentally picking up a knife I didn't want.

As I said this game isn't particularly easy. There are a few cheap enemies that take a minute to learn
(the stun-gun cops and the shield cops are especially doing my head in)
but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze.

I've been looking forward to this game for ages. I couldn't not get it on release, despite having a physical copy pre-ordered (which'll take 2 or 3 months to be manufactured and delivered). I love it. And I can't wait to play more tomorrow. If you're a Streets of Rage fan on the fence, get off the fence and buy this game. It's astounding.

You can change the controls to legacy which uses the 3 button layout. Switched region to Australia to download early on my Xbox.

Fyi it is a Game Pass for PC game available on Xbox via Xbox Anywhere so requires a PC or GPU sub to play without purchase.

Can’t wait for it, only waited 26 years!

Gonna do a playthrough with Yuzo’s new soundtrack then a 2nd and 3rd with the 1 & 2 OSTS. Never ranked 3, bit too experimental for my taste.

Gawddamn it's beautiful!

Out at 9AM BST(or local time) tomorrow on all platforms except PS4, which drops at midnight.

Might be worth downloading from the Aussie Xbox site to get it at 1am if you have Game Pass.

Think that happens on games that can't be preloaded, devs have to pay an extra fee for that afaik.
