DF Retro - Streets of Rage 4: Tech Review + Series Retrospective

[Silvergun-Blue]

Not all the changes for the Western release of the third game were bad. They got rid if this trash.

Thing is, I'm willing to bet it was because it depicted a clearly homosexual person as opposed to it being an offensive depiction of a homosexual person.

And you know what? This isn't even the most vile portrayal of a gay enemy in a brawler. I give you this piece of video game history from Konami's Vendetta that's best left to the mists of time. (apologies for the video title, it's the best one I can find)

The first one is reallllly bad but the second one is at least reasonable. Pretty amazing to play on a Game Gear, in fact.

I'm impressed by how much thought and care you put into these videos (which are appreciated now more than ever). Really, really great stuff.

welp. somehow I want this game more than I did 26 minutes and 49 seconds ago. Nice job DF.

Game Gear and Master System versions of SoR1 were actually different. GG version was uglier, only had 2 characters and less stages, but played better

Oh interesting. It's been a while since I sampled the GG version and didn't have time to check. Sadly I don't have either cart

That was a great video, going to link my buddy. Looking forward to this game. I hope it is 3 players to play with both my boys.

Edit: Oh shit. It's 4 player!

Switch and XBO version looked at

• switch version ported by Seaven Studio, who did the PS4 version
• minor dips that seem to be intentional
• nothing cut, exactly the same as PS4
• joycon controls work fine, not as comfortable
• has legacy more on all systems; 3-button like the first 3 games
• Blitworks made the Xbox port
• no input latency issue on any system
• xbox has practically no graphics options, just luminosity and screen shake
• the crt filters are in the game during some levels, so it's weird it's not here
• Windows Store version doesn't have the many PC options
• has issues running (WinStore strikes again!)
• you can change the food! with vegan option!

We don't deserve you, DF Retro !

Glad to know all versions are great. Probably getting this on Switch now.

Weird about the missing graphics options on the Xbox version. Maybe they will patch them in later.

Great video as usual. Played a fair bit of the game already, really loved it. Got it on the PS4. I'm not sure if this's the right place for this, but I would love if you made video covering Fight N'Rage. I'm torn which is better between the two.

Are these all 1080P?

An updated video comparing the different versions, including Xbox, Switch and the Windows 10 version.

Streets of Rage 4 - Switch + Xbox One Versions Tested - And Yes, They're Awesome

In our recent Streets of Rage 4 coverage, we only had access to the PS4 and Steam PC versions before launch. With the game now available, John and Rich round...

In short, all games are locked 60. Including the Switch.

The Xbox and Windows 10 version lacks graphical options (e.g some of the filters/video changes).

I thought I was missing a setting (playing on Xbox). It feels like a very stranger omission and more a design choice than anything else.

Edit: a quick search on twitter finds the answer. The Xbox/MS version was missing a patch.

FYI. A recent update to the Xbox version added in those missing graphical options.
