I don't think it was about that. It was about the rental market. The same thing happened with Dynamite Heady.

Probably, but they also reduced the recoil for specials, which makes the gameplay much more balanced. In any case, I'm glad they made all those alterations, because they improved on BK3 by so much.
Been replaying the original trilogy in anticipation. Can't wait to finally play 4 tomorrow.
I didn't realize until last night that Streets of Rage 4 was going to be on Game Pass. I was planning to buy it, but I'll just download it there, especially since I was planning to get it on Xbox One anyway.

No, never did. The only one I played, except for the MS/MD shinobi games and Shadow Dancer is the Saturn game. I didn't like that one with its digitized graphics and ho hum design.
Didn''t even play the PS2 games but I wouldn't pass on a remaster of those. I know they're madly challenging.
I understand what they mean though. "Brawler masterpiece" is not something a lot of reviewers care for. I'm also pleasantly surprised by all the praise!
It's also very, very easy to screw up a classic formula when updating it for modern times, so easy it happens more times than it doesn't, so I'm always wary when a new, heavily "classic-inspired" game is made. It seems that they didn't screw up anything here, which is a cause for celebration.
It's not bad on its own but it doesn't compare visually to the old pixel art Shinobis.
I prefer BK3 myself. I didn't find SoR3 particularly hard though it was tougher than 2. But I just prefer the designs of BK3. Axel looked awful in SoR3, he had Adam's garb I think.
The story is also better done in BK3 (with intro and all, and translated the dialogues made more sense than the western version) though I must say I prefer the story concept of SoR3 because BK3 is essentially about igniting a world war with bombing attacks killing thousands. I think such a narrative doesn't really fit in a street brawler.
Sega of America made horrendous changes to SOR3, that's a fact.
The story was ruined, the palette swaps and censorships was benign. And the difficulty changes were stupid.

The costumes are just palette swaps though, because you can see them in their normal garbs in versus mode. I actually prefer the fresh set of attire, but it's not something I have much attachment towards to either.
The story, I'm kind of ambivalent towards both versions as well. To me, it basically sums down to Mr. X is back as Robot Y/Neo X, with something about bombs and robot stuff in the background, lol.
The reasons I like SoR3 more are only due to gameplay and balancing, as BK3 is just way too boring of an experience.
Haha, I was actually defending how SoR4 looks. I misread the conversation when I originally replied. Sorry for the confusion.
Was going to take off work tomorrow and my wife gave me this look from hell. 10pm local gives me enough time to dive in before bed I guess. Haha!
I'm gonna get on Switch to only discover that the performance iffy and co-op will be broken like the last ten games I've bought like this. But even though I have an excellent PC and this would run flawlessly - it just feels like it should be on Switch.
I think the SoR 3 colors are cool. Gives it a fresh look and I like yellow shirt Axel and grey Blaze. Getting rid of Ash is a good thing. Sometimes censorship is a positive.
Difficulty I'm torn on. BK3 default is too easy but SoR 3 default is too hard. Also it's hard for lame reasons. Enemies have too much health and do too much damage. I can beat it, it's just too much. I think ideally easy wouldn't lock out the last two levels. Then I'd just say SoR3 is superior.

For preorders like this? Likely the games haven't been pressed yet. They won't ship until they're in hand. That could be months from now. The last time I preordered something from them that hadn't been manufactured yet it took around 3 months to have it in my hands. With Covid now I wouldn't be surprised if things take a little longer.
Anyone know if the Xbox Console version will have X support?
cant really find it and it doesn't seem to be on the store yet, will determine where I download it

Doesn't look like it based on this page, but I doubt resolutions differences are going to be wildly noticeable with this game.

That is really disappointing as I wanted it on Steam and I think my friend is playing it on gamepass. Really doesn't make any sense why they would do this.
Campaign is about 90 mins. long.
No RPG features, but there are a lot of unlocks for replays...
Do you need a story for a side scrolling beat em up game?š
Halfway through on Hardest mode. Game's legit.
They really tried their best to make you scared of Garcia in this game lol.

It's all fun and games until the lowest-tier mook gets a 10ft. spear.
