Lethal League Blaze releasing October 24 (NSW/PS4/XBO Spring 2019, Hideki Naganuma music)
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
Dang. I've always seen Lethal League as an unofficial spin-off of the Jet Set Radio series since the art direction of it certainly is inspired by those games and low and behold, they get the man behind the JSR music into this. Great stuff!

God that soundtrack is fucking AMAZING already in just the trailer. Not like I'd have doubted him.
Loved the first one, will be picking this up

Street Fighter x Pong, where Windjammers is more Pong, this is a little more SF.
Fantastic! Hopefully it will be as great as the first one!
Gotta keep you ears to the streets.

Lethal League is a goddamn amazing game with a superb soundtrack. It's a tragedy that it isn't more well known.
There's a lethal league discord?
To be fair, because its an aesthetic that unless put in a very specfic situation. Or evolved to meet normal current fashion standards like splatoon. Will look extremely dated
Only passionate people would emulate a game that bombed.
That song is hype, and Lethal League 1 was always so fun to watch.
... but I have to say, what's with the weird animation frames on the characters? Why did that rotation look a bit janky? I guess they only had one set of animation for the game and didn't have a separate, smoother set for the trailer.

Well, if they're doing another Limited Run, they better do another CD release of the soundtrack now.
It's probably intentional, sadly. It's emulating how the characters moved in the first Lethal Leauge (2D sprites based on 3D models > 3D models in a 3D engine with animation frames missing), in the same way that GGXrd does.
I'm not a fan of doing it that way either. Especially when, as we can see with the background characters in the trailer, the game could look even better/smoother. This smooth.
Why some devs keep doing choppy animation on purpose, I have no idea.
All that aside, the game has an amazing aesthetic, solid looking gameplay, and the fact that Naganuma's supplying some tracks elevates it tremendously.
