was that good?

>>5465634
It looks shitty.

>>5465634
They can suplex the fat guys. I'm not buying it.

They turned Axel into a nu-male so it's gonna be a hard pass from me.

>>5465634
Is that a female Skate and an african-american Zan on the background?

>>5466695
The acoustic guitar has me think Hispanic, and the other might be Adam.

>90s grunge from the waist down / biker-ish denim from the waist up but with a Kung Fu headband
He looks more like a poser or a confused manchild

>>5466707
Just looks like a pissed off hobo to me.

The Dragon's Trap remake sucked hard, one of the few games I had to refund.

This is from the developer of streets of fury, which is currently the only game they have made.

Ara ara Blaze is something I didn't realize I needed until now.

>>5465637
It was pretty good, yeah. But Monster Boy gameplay isn't super great which isn't a fault of the remake. Like a metroidvania but you can only ever do one thing instead of needing to explore. (The Shantae games are mostly like this)

>>5465634
I want to know who dreads girl with the guitar is.

>>5466751
Cougar, anon. When you're not Japanese she's just a cougar.

>>5466713
Literally the exact same code base as the original bro

>>5466758
Trans Skate. Screencap this

>>5466794
But it's new. Older things are better

so, like, this game isn't really /vr/ right?

>>5467207
It's a remake

>>5467543
It's a sequel

I dislike the fact that you can wall rebound and do elaborate air combo juggles, it feels like it would make the gameplay too fast. For me SOR always felt slower, minimalistic, but more tactical and hard hitting where the mayhem lasted a lot longer. If I wanted super speed rushdown fests I'd be playing Capcom belt scrollers.

But I'll reserve judgement until the game is out. Right now they are so barely into the development that they can only show off minimal animations and backgrounds and placeholder audio. I'm sure they'll tune the gameplay around so it feels right.

And if they make Axel/Blaze older, then I'm hoping we can also see an older Max too. Give him partially greying hair and even more painful throws.

>They can suplex the fat guys.
You can suplex the fat guys in SOR2.

>>5466262
>They turned Axel into a nu-male
He has muscles, so he can't be considered a nu-male. What they turned him into is a biker/geezer. And I'm perfectly fine with that, it suits him well. He looks like a burned out, middle age street fighting hobo, who is desperately trying to cling into his role despite being past his prime.
For some reason I'm feeling like he's some Jean-Claude Van Damme character, which is ironic considering that the Japanese SOR2 cover directly traced him from JCVD.

His sprite looks much worse than the cover artwork though.

>>5468270
S O U L L E S S

>>5466262
when's the last time you ever see a nu-male look like a Hobo

>>5465634
>yujo koshiro is gone
>streets of rage
blaze is great tho

>>5466794
And that's the problem every other review is complaining about. The OG game is super frustrating to play, movement, collision, physics, everything is trash and feels trash. They should've thrown all the code away and developed a more capable action platformer instead of just slapping a fresh coat of paint on an 80's game. It's just laughably bad compared to stuff like Shovel Knight.

>>5468391
Modern game reviewers whined when Crash Bandicoot was too hard for them.

everyone is so pessimistic and jaded. i guess that's what i should expect from /vr/. gameplay looks solid as heck and that's all that matters to me. im excited. i think bobo axel is cool in his own way. no news of yuzo is sad but boo fucking hoo. i hope they do shinobi next.

>>5468532
Fuck off shill, people have given their arguments.

>>5468532
What about the gameplay looks great? The dumb juggle system, the passive AI or their low numbers on screen?

>>5468568
guess anyone who doesnt agree with you is a shill. and there arent really any arguments so much as “new thing bad”. at the end of the day there isnt a ton to go off and im just saying that it is so /vr/ to just jump to the worst conclusions.
>>5468581
from what we’ve seen im glad they at have animations that line up 1:1 to the original games. that gives me confidence that they understand why SoR/BK feels so good. Adding juggling could add even more depth to the combat. i dont see that as a negative. as for the ai we’ve hardly seen enough to judge it, i feel. typically there are multiple difficulty levels and ai could act differently depending on what youre on. also it seems too early to assume that what we have seen is the max anount of opponents on screen.

>>5468759
>everyone is so pessimistic and jaded. i guess that's what i should expect from /vr/
lines like these are the first thing shills use.

>>5468759
>it's too early to say but it looks solid as heck!

Ok.

>Adding juggling could add even more depth to the combat.

Or remove depth, which is far more likely not just from seeing other games like it and its gameplay videos but from anthopants' first impressions also. Since you can juggle multiple enemies and it's effortless it'll probably be a launch into juggle fest : the game. They're emphasizing juggles in the trailer too, not fun aggressive enemies, not crowd control, not using a small set of tools well, nope just braindead juggles.

Ok so. Streets of rage 1- 3 were shitty games. Especially part 2 had laughable sprite work. Take a look at human anatomy, then take a look at those fucked up sprites. And with that being said i am looking forward to play streets 4. No yuzo koshiro music is a huge plus too. That guy fucking sucks anyway. Ya still with me? Great, because... FUCK YOU AND YOUR GLORIFIED TURDS.

>>5468581
The game is in pre-beta, they are literally previewing the animations as they get them done. I doubt the teaser is even actual gameplay, it smells more like a mockup animation.

Just wait until the game is finished.

>>5468270
>You can suplex the fat guys in SOR2.
souless

>>5468787
okay, whatever big dawg. thats because its fucking true. i love retro games and retro game collecting but this board in particular is full of insufferable stubborn grandpas. thats not to say everyone is bad but theres so much negativity and elitism it makes me sick. theres a reason this board has been dying
>>5468790
i specifically said the gameplay looks solid, nothing else. though i also like the aesthetic.

>>5468532
Have you played that SOR fan remake? Well seems like nobody has since every time I bring it up nobody seems to have. Its a free game done by fans and plays exactly like you'd expect SOR should play. This fourth game still looks good but yes the juggling being in it seems just weird. It doesn't belong in a SOR game. Also from what they have shown it looks like they aren't even taking any of the quality of life advancements from 3.

I don't know, I think the developers might now make it as good as it could be. Perhaps a fun game but Not a true sequel we deserve.

>>5468384
He might be coming back for it. Nothing has been confirmed music wise yet

>>5468384
>Yuzo Koshiro is gone
The music composer for SoR4 hasn't been revealed yet.
They asked Yuzo if he's involved on this game, but he just say he's not able to respond right now ''i hope you understand''.
No one needs to be so smart to know he's gonna be involved on a sequel from a game series that is basically his trademark.

>>5468961
He worked on the new Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom soundtrack lately.

>>5468946
SOR remake was ok but it doesn't compare to the actual games. It's a fantastic fangame don't get me wrong. But the way it plays and the weird interjection of original shit makes it feel more like a frankenstien of the original games and a fanmade one.

That Doughnut steel katana girl OC rubs me the wrong way for whatever reason too. Either way the game is still good but it doesn't compare to SoR2 or 3.

why we hate the streets of rage games now?

>>5468804

>>5465634
I don't like the way Blaze looks. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about her proportions and posture look totally fucked to me. Her walking animation where she arches the shit out of her back looks weird, too. It's like they're trying to make her look/act sexy but also don't understand how human bodies work or what sexy poses look like.

>>5466713
Why not play it in 8-bit mode?

>>5469596
Because the original game is shit, too.

>>5466262
wut
he looks like Swayze in Point Break. How is that numale?

>>5465634
Another reason not to get it

>>5469523

Why should you get angry? Because someone on the internet doesn't like the crap YOU like?

>>5469609
You're expecting a millennial to know Swayze

>>5469594
That shit looks so terrible. The art style reminds me of cartoon network shows, why can't they make their own new franchise?

>>5469594
>that cartoony steven universe shit ass style

hard pass m8

>>5468804
Then o play the new Final Figh... oh.

>>5470107
>>5470089
>>5468804
the absolute state of /vr/

>>5470105
> Everything that doesn't look weebshit is steven universe style

Ok

>>5470116
>was sor 1-3 weebshit tho? stop baiting

>>5469603
Then why the fuck would you buy the remake?

>>5469063
I think SOR remake actually plays better than the original games minus certain balance problems. Most notably I think Shiva is way too hard and unpredictable. The running star moves are also a bit too op and should have at least come at a health cost if you continue to do it consecutively. Besides that really though its my favorite SOR game now. Most important thing is you can balance the gameplay to your liking which I think helps a lot since its meant to be a fan service game of the old ones.

I think I would have preferred if SOR4 had played more like that instead but I like what I see so far from it anyways. Not perfect but it looks like it will be a good beat 'em up game. More need to play SOR remake it is so well done.

>>5465634
>Wonder Trap Dragon's Boy

>>5470116
Disguisting.

>>5470240
Because I had never played the original and everyone said the remake was good, but it turned out to be over-hyped shit.
