I'm a huge SOR fan. I checked multiple streams and asked questions to the players...there's a regression of key advancements in SOR3 and Remake. It still looks good, but just doesn't break any new ground so why bother? If I'm in the mood of SOR I'll just play SORR

Eh? I said it has worse music, not that's it bad. Again, I just expect quality to improve in sequels, not degrade.

No offense intended but I don't think you could be any more wrong about video games than this. Jesus :eek:

Loving this so far, SoR1 was probably the first game I fell in love with growing up. Its great to able to play something that holds to that feeling of the original again. Cherry is a blast to play in this, I love that special move.

Normal was difficult enough for me

Fairly challenging actually, was expedcring to breeze through this like the earlier ones but finding it tough enough.

I think people are struggling with Axel, myself included because he is a bit slower and can be swarmed. I'm still in the mindset of reserving my special for those really close moments instead of using it to just clear space, you gain the health back that you lost using a special if you follow up with a combo.

How about the bargain of €0? That's what 4 is competing with. So I don't see the need to spend even +€25 for less features and worse music. Online mode is the only reason I'd consider it on sale.

We get it. You don't like it despite never actually playing the game and won't buy it right now.

I think you're just a pleb with shít taste in music tbh :pac:

Also to all those players complaining about the lack of dodge:

Use your neutral Special (Y/Triangle) for its invincibility & pay attention to the enemies!
Also don't forget your back attack (RT/R2).
This isn't Dark Souls, you don't get i-Frames to dodge with here :pac:

As for the lack of Run - eh. The character's aren't SLOW, it's very deliberate.
This is like complaining about lack of dash in Street Fighter II.

Really enjoying this up to stage 11, not finding it hard at normal level.
Cool you can unlock characters, Adam is good to play with.
Some very fun features I loved chucking people out the elevator lol and the whole level in the art gallery.

Decided to take a punt on this even though I wasn't that pushed on it. Quite enjoying it so far. Played stage 1 as Cherry and 2 as Axel. Much prefer Cherry to be honest. Axels very slow and his special moves dont have much reach. I'll give the other characters a go.

Enjoying this thoroughly whilst not being very good at it.

There are a lot more mechanics in the game than first meets the eye.

I've only played with Axel but some people are saying he's the worst character?

What about the controls, is the classic control option better? What's the difference?

If you played the original then classic is the best option, it just feel natural.

That made me smile anyway, it’s just I’m so used to my young lad asking can he buy games which usually cost the guts of €60. In the last couple of weeks I’ve been able to pick up Mortal Kombat 11 for €40, and now Streets of Rage for €25? Bargain gaming already!

On this game itself, yeah it’s been mentioned already that the soundtrack isn’t quite up to par. The music in SOR2 had much more ‘atmosphere’? The bosses at the end of each level aren’t up to much either, it could be because it’s 30 years later but I remember the end of level bosses being far more intimidating in the originals (SOR 1 & 2, I don’t even rate 3).

The artwork is fantastic, comic book style, like what they wanted the original to be if the technology had been available at the time. It’s an update that stays very true to the original in terms of game mechanics, which is commendable IMO because they could have been tempted to do a lot more, but they kept it simple.

We got as far as level 5, I liked the
car crashing into the wall, woke us up a bit!
but I’m wondering are there elements missing like
the motorbikes, and the elevator level with the wrestler at the end
.

Hours of fun though

Edit: Speaking of retro gaming, why does Boards feel like I’m connected with a 56k modem?

I think it may be an issue connecting via android, website loads fine on my pc and iPad.

Yeah, it's a bit weak. In both quality and "oomph" terms.

The developers acknowledged the online needs fixing and are working on it.

played co op with a mate online last night and blitzed it, well worth its plaudits. Now to start getting the unlockables.

Tried online co op last night and the performance was not great. Both of us have good internet speeds and both on wired connections. Got to stage 5 before it completely crapped out.

Mr E

Played this morning in bed on the Switch. Game over at the end of stage 1.

I need practice.

Great game though. Good luck finishing arcade mode on one credit.

Retr0gamer

Only got time to play the first stage last night.

Soundtrack is good but not a patch on the originals.

However it feels.... right. They really nailed the fell of the game. Was worried they wouldn't but I'm so happy they proved me wrong.

Near the bone on the inside of my middle finger on my left hand has become red and tender from playing this all day :pac: Its because im moving with the D-Pad instead of the left stick and i seem to press down that bit harder to move so im kind of deathgripping the controller.

7 hours players today, think ill give it a break tomorrow and let my poor finger heal up:o

Not all characters have it (unlike 3 and Remake) and there's still no roll.

Was checking the livestream on the steam page and noticed your one playing it wasn't sprinting or rolling. Figured she was just new to the game. Turns out... there is no sprint or roll! It's fair enough if they didn't want to break new ground in terms of gameplay but to actually regress is unacceptable. One of the steam user reviews even mention this. What a disappointment. Dropped.

I'll just continue with the remake for the low cost of €0

I was surprised there was no run and even more shocked you could not dodge as part 3 had both of these, Personally I did not find it too hard on Normal with Axel but I am used to these kind of games.

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.

Axel is useless.
Floyd is best for me just bulldoze through it all.
Its a lot of fun I was a huge fan of streets of rage 2. So the double tap on a direction and attack button still works. In normal and pretty easy so far.
