I wouldn't mind Max, but I always think this one looked more like an Asian guy with a monk-like Ponytail.
Yup, Zan would have upgraded himself to make this kinda bulk! Which wouldn't be bad.
Haha, I'd be all for this. I did like the tech-edge Zan brought to the game.
Haha, Imagine if it's Mecha Suit Max piloted by a mini-Zanette a'la Baby Head from Captain Commando? No one would suspect this... but I say the series has had enough fun with weird extra characters to pull it off.
Heck, even having a remote-controlled character with an off-screen pilot barking commands might be cool, too. I always loved the odd character BEU's would come up with in their golden years. Getting something unique here would feel slightly weird for SOR, but respectful to the genre as a whole.
I always look forward to getting another look at this game. It seems like the more I see of it the better it looks.
This
Was Direct confirmed or at least rumored for next week? Or it's just the good old Resetera's Direct thirst?
New trailer/features
2 player online co-op. This pleases me, these types of games are always more fun with friends, so I was hoping online co-op woukd make it in. Next stop, release date please!
Cool new character, he looks super powerful. Grabbing people from a distance is crazy.
Online co-op is just what i was wanting to hear, I have a buddy I really want to play this with but he lives overseas. 4 player is unexpected but good, I wonder how it will be balanced though.
Also, that was a cool tune.

Floyd looks amazing as expected. Lizardcube continuing the tradition of the SoR series always hitting it out of the park with their grappler characters.
Maybe Floyds special is the grab which is cool, instead of having another horizontal mobility special like everyone else. Instead of moving he brings people to him. He's probably OP on enviro stages, just constantly toss people off lol
I am very excited for the music, that song was prime SOR.

Worried about the backgrounds. Haven't seen one that I've liked yet. They all look so grey and samey :\
The only thing Im worried about at this point is the voice work and hit sounds. It is hard to hear any of that under the music. I am used to loud "OOOOOOWWWWWAAAH" "GRAND UPPAH" but it seems all of that isnt there? Also loud pole bashing sounds. Maybe they are still working on that for now.
I dig the city skyline backdrop shown in an earlier vid. The rest of the environments have a graphic novel feel, prominent ink outlining with a colour wash. I don't mind it but the vibrant neon-soaked look of classic SoR is hard to beat, certainly won't stop me enjoying it though.
Yeah, the hit sounds should be meaty and satisfying, but these sound a bit like someone hitting some cardboard boxes. Here's hoping they're just placeholders.
Nice, and I knew it would come out in Spring considering the release window, can't wait to get it on day one!
OMG Dotemu, Guard Crash and Lizardcube are treating this game as the game of their lives aren't they?
lol

Those backgrounds look really nice to me. I love what I'm seeing .
Including the skyscrapers from the Streets of Rage 1 title screen is a good throwback!
I watched a little making of vid a bit ago and the devs seem like they're real fans of the games. I think they're going to do the series justice for sure :)
From the stuff I've watched, they've totally nailed the flow of SoR2 in particular only they've spiced it up with air juggles.
I mean, doubling the player count was never going to be anything other than overkill. It looks like more of a mode for casual fun.
I had a good chuckle at the bit at 5.35 where they all absolutely laid into that lone Signal goon.
Yep, that's true. I also notice that friendly fire is off, I remember it being on and I believe they said it was always on, though that's probably just for the older builds.
The slower pace of the commentary video lets you get a good look at the backgrounds.
I love the lighting.

I'm coming around to Cherry's design, but I just can't NOT think of this everytime she yells during her super move.
Honestly for me it's not about the performance it's the clarity. If you lower the quality of the voice samples to what you would hear on a Gen/MD I'd be fine with that. I also think changing the hit sound effects and the "Go-->" weren't necessary and are part of the feel and identity of the originals. Like the killfeed chirps in Killzone, the sound of picking options in a menu in a final fantasy game, or the sound of picking up rings in a Sonic game. They sort of get this as picking up healing items have the exact same sound as the old games.
