I'll probably get some stick for this but jesus I hate that song.
That being said I'm looking forward to getting this when it hits consoles.

In an ironic twist, the music in the Takeover trailer is so god awful that it already ruined the joke-analogy (since Takeover had the better beat^^)
There will be a lot of explosions. At least, unless there's some changes about what can be found/dropped by the ennemies. It's not a bad game, even though I don't want to finish it right now. I can't say why though.
TMNT, Streets of Rage, etc. all had this mechanic. Can't say I enjoyed it lol, but it definitely is "classic".
Why do they keep releasing these kind of games with no online co-op? Is it really that hard to implement. Streets of rage 2 ps3 version had it..
Yes, online co-op is a big feature. Not at all a quick addition.
A) yeah it turns out it's actually kinda hard, especially for smaller indie devs.
B) on Steam you can use Remote Play Together now to play games with local co-op online
I never liked that mechanic because its almost the same as getting hit except that the cpu would do even more damage due to you getting stun locked and them whailing on you until someone hits you with a knock down.
Almost every classic beatemup has a similar, if not identical, mechanic.
Yup.....and they all sucked. I enjoy the side scroller beat em ups that don't use them.
right up there with weapon degradation
I thought Fight 'N Rage's implementation of that mechanic was really good. In that you can use the super moves that cost life for free but on a cooldown, if you use it again before the cooldown is over then it takes some life.
In most classic arcade brawlers it's definitely intended as a life-sink.
Small, basically one-man team so they focus on the most popular hardware first probably, platforms where they're also likely already have more connections/ a devkit etc.

I legit adore the graphics, no joke.. Those heavy-ass weapon hits too. I honestly love everything about it
The lighting is insane.

Wasn't sold in this until I heard the eurobeat.
As of now, it's possible to run online using a Steam Beta feature
The visuals are looking pretty impressive. Action looks slick with Caddilacs & Dinosaurs-style shooting. Music is Eurobeat as he-
OH SHIT IS THAT BAZ AT THE END?

This game has a Japanese publisher on consoles and Japan doesn't give a shit about Xbox.
Interesting artstyle.
The 'music' has to be the worst thing I heard in the last 10 years though.
Hole shit, pls let me switch it off

It's weird to me I can't seem to get in to beat em ups without an old school pixel look. This is kind of eh to me in the same way SOR4 is. At least the characters & bg seem more like they're part of the same world here.
Gameplay looks good, but in all of these modern interpretations of Streets of Rage I just don't like the style at all. Raging Justice, Mother Russia Bleeds and now this. I just don't like the visuals.
I don't think SOR4's visuals are a good match for that particular franchise but they look great otherwise and I'd have no reservations with an original game in that style.
This game... ehh, maybe someone's nostalgic for that gross super-european pre-rendered look but it ain't me.

makes me wish Paprium was an actual thing that was still going to happen :/
Yeah but the game isn't on PS4 yet, the poster was likely referring to people that want to play online co-op now on Steam.
Looks... okay. Am I the only person who wants throwback game play without throwback art direction? I love classic design, but so many of these games go in for pastiche with more pixels.
