Pretty much all of this. SoR is about playing on higher difficulties and replayabiity. No filler here; just pure fun.
The fact that this game has an arcade mode with s ranks, harder difficulties and no XP/shop system tells me these guys "get" it.
I'll play on Gamepass while I wait for my PS4 physical copy to arrive. A new 2D SoR... I never thought it would ever exist. We truly are in the golden era of gaming.
Yep progression can easily ruin a contemporary beat em up. Getting started with new players in Phantom Breaker and Dragon's Crown is impossible unless they are willing to kill at least a couple of hours with a severely cut back move set until they earn enough xp to see what the games have to offer.
It's especially bad in games like Phantom Breaker where players literally need to quit the campaign to enter the skill tree and build out a character.
The beat em up formula was never meant to cater to this. There's plenty of value in mastering mechanics and replaying a solid campaign. Even the original Guardian Heroes got this with its start from 0 approach, requiring players to branch out and explore with every play through.
I only see Awesome at awesome. With a side of kick ass.
Not certain about resolution but they've been quoted as saying 60fps including on Switch.
Day one on Gamepass and I bought a physical ps4 copy from limited run. How long does it usually take for them to send out copies?
Hope 4k on Xbox x and pro and 1080p/720p on switch docked / handheld.
will have it on Xbox game pass and switch eshop
Yes. The snippets of massive high energy dance pretty much put me off this game a long long time ago, but I'm swinging round now.
Streets Of Rage 4 Appears To Be Getting A Day-One Update
"While the size of the game has already been confirmed as 3.1 GB, according to information from the official PlayStation servers, you'll need to clear up an extra 1 GB of free space for some combo system improvements, bug fixes, and "global polish" of music and sound design."

Fuck yes to og sprites, I was looking forward to playing this on a crt since it was announced. What an incredible bonus.
The new sprites on CRT actually remind me of the way Guardian Heroes looked back in the the day.
PC digital, Switch physical.
On one hand I dislike how LRG releases lag so far behind. On the other, I appreciate that they usually include the early patches, when applicable.

Ha ha ha, seriously i think it will be double million sellers.(4 systems)
Thanks for that. Hopefully it stays on gamepass till my physical copy shows up.
Yeah same, it's interesting to compare it to the older SoR games where they go for a look that is about describing detail, rippling muscles, thick jean folds etc, whereas Guardians has this bold animation/cel look that despite using an extra tone feels simpler (Volume is still incredibly well described) which SoR4 leans towards. Not sure how I feel about the additional rim light and gradient use in SoR4 though, the rim light looks good but you need to darken the sprite to make it pop, I guess for certain levels it's fine but the gradient darkening I'm not sure about. I think the use of that technique along with some washed out background colours has contributed to the criticism that the game in places looks a bit dull.
One thing I hadn't noticed was that SoR4 doesn't use 'far limb shading', I guess with the addition of rim lights they probably felt it would be too much. Looking forward to playing this both on a CRT and an HD screen.
Keep in mind that things are considerably more fucked up in the world right now, but I ordered Garegga last year as a preorder mid May. It was in my hands around the 3rd week in July.

Don't like Adam's daughter but the new boss is a nice pastiche of Vanessa(VF) and Yoko (last bronx). Like her ! She could be my main with Adam :)
All the characters appearing on this cover will be unlockable, that's obvious to me :)
