Streets of Rage 4 - Review Thread

Tested it out. It's good! But not as fluid as solo for sure. It's noticeable.
Really doesn't seem appealing to me. Those games were great back then but times have moved on.
Will give it a fair go though.
Good thing I saw this post. Didn't even know they were doing a physical version with them. Pre-ordered.
Hey what's up Dark1x?
Thanks for the impressions man. Quick question....how would you compare SoR4 to SoR Remake? Seeing as how you've played both, which one is better in your objective opinion?
I started playing Scott Pilgrim again since I lost my original completed save, and as enjoyable as the game is, it can't be underlined enough how much of a slog the game is until you level up and start getting better moves. Good to hear SoR4 doesn't seem to fall into that.
Wow, yeah. That ain't great at all. I'll deal, but a more mature sounding voice would've been perfect.
Online co-op isn't perfect, but it works. Played 5 stages via co-op and most of time it was smooth, but there were occasional bouts of lag. This was on Switch. I was wired and my friend was playing via Wi-Fi.
Also, my review at Nintendo World Report.
And this is a video of me playing online co-op.
The best part about Streets of Rage is that you just start the game and play. All the combos are unlocked and nothing needs to be unlocked (aside from secret characters in some games). To see that SOR4 is designed that way makes me glad. I want the same team to do more classic beat em ups. Start with Golden Axe please!
Wow Eurogamer gave it an essential and said it's the best in the series. That's damn high praise. Looking even more forward to it now.
i mean, have you played a streets of rage game? if you like those, i'm sure you'll like this.

I can't say that I'm surprised.
Lizardcube and GuardCrush do great work. Put them together and voila!

Played it at PAX East and loved it. Happy to see good scores. Gonna pick this up on Switch tomorrow for sure.
As a Streets of Rage super fan, I'm sooooo happy this game is so well-received. I cannot wait to dig into it tomorrow.
Also, I had no idea that CRT filter mode was in the game, which basically makes it look like it fits right next to the original three games by turning the art into a more pixel-art look. I saw it in action in the Kotaku video review and it's awesome.

Have you played Fight'N Rage? It's a different beast (way faster combat) but it's easily my favorite beat'em up game since SOR2. Can't wait to see how SOR4 fares.
Sweet Baby Yoda, this looks great! Streets of Rage 4 was not on my radar, but after this (and GamePass), I'm absolutely in.
I do hope it is X/Pro Enhanced, but I won't lose any sleep if it isn't.
In the EZA review, at 2:31 (https://youtu.be/hym8c58CQNw?t=151) you will see 'where are my pixels' written on the arcade's window in graffiti.
Where indeed!
Where indeed!
Yeah Streets of Rage 4 really shouldn't have been made for Streets of Rage fans.
It's a beat 'em up. Go play SoR1, 2, and 3 for six hours, and you'll be caught up with the lore or whatever.
It's still an amazing classic brawler. Sega Genesis /Mega Drives were niche consoles to you?
I'm so glad that this is delivering on all fronts. I can't wait to play this.
I haven't played the old games much but I still have extreme respect for the series and I'm so glad its getting this sequel.
What I still can't believe are those visuals. It looks bonkers.

Yep. Absolutely baffling.
How much trouble is it to set aside a few hours to play through the original Streets of Rage trilogy?
Besides, SOR4 is a brawler first and foremost. The story is practically nonexistent, and the game itself is designed to be instantly accessible.
A niche series? It's the flag bearer for the genre!
And..as SoR is an amazing classic brawler, you'd like this surely.
What a take.
SoR4 is better overall due to the refinement in the combat system. It might be the best brawler design I've played. Tons of depth that I still have to learn.
Ooh, since you're here. Have you tried the game across various platforms yet?
I'm really wondering how the Switch version stacks up to the others in terms of resolution, performance, etc. I'm particularly curious as to whether or not the 2D, hand-drawn assets look more compressed on the Switch version.
I am not able to watch the reviews, but have any of them mentioned how the Switch Version runs?
I JUST got the Switch version but haven't installed yet. Am going to find out soon. Alas, only PS4 and PC before launch.
Nope. As usual, not a goddamn one makes any mention of how the Switch version looks or runs compared to the others.
I will probably still get the switch version anyways because beat-em-ups wherever is too enticing, but I wish reviewers or somebody are given Switch review codes to at least inform people if it is different.
