It´s a new indie game,made by just ONE guy,which pays hommage to Streets of Rage,Final Fight,TMNT Turtles in Time etc. It has a very deep combat system,similar to a 1:1 fighting game ala Streetfighter,with combos,juggles etc. Alternative paths,multiple endings in the story mode,online and local multiplayer,various unlockable modes,costumes,characters etc. No microtransactions,no BS. It´s available on PS4,Xbone,Switch and Windows.I even installed on my old Windows 7 notebook and it runs perfect.

I have a pre order on the PS4 physical. I wish it wasn't like this though. For a series soo beloved by soo many still I think it's a shame to limit the amount of people being able to get a physical copy. I'm sure many more people would have liked a freely available physical copy than copies will be made. A game like this should be for everyone without railroading people into a digital purchase, sad coming from a series and a time when it was and was only about physical copies. The originals were never limited, why should a properly done sequel like this be limited? I felt forced to get a pre order down or face having to pay a scalpers price for it later. I hate this sort of business practice and really don't like the whole limited run/super rare thing of limited production runs on popular franchises like this. Limited run or should that be limited fun?

Matt Lynch - I agree with you 100% and although I am no expert in the field, it could be that the market for that type of game isn’t really as big as you and I think it is. If they were to make physical copies widely available, besides the hardcore fans, fans of the genre in general, and those looking for a quick experience that is inexpensive, would the game really fly off the shelves to justify the production and manufacturing cost to produce physical versions of games? I don’t know how big the developer is, but finances could be the reason, maybe the publisher decided against it, who knows, but I do agree with you. I only buy physical games and I am so happy that companies like LIMITED RUN GAMES exist for that purpose. Now, if they can get the rights to turn these digital and or arcade ONLY games into purchasable physical releases, I would be forever extremely grateful!: (1)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade (Arcade) (2)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time (Arcade) (3)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Reshelled (4)The Simpson’s: Arcade (5)X-Men: The Arcade (6)Tomb Raider of the Lost Ark (7)Contra Evolution (Mobile) (8)Crime Fighters (Arcade) (9)Crime Fighters II Vendetta (Arcade) (10)Superman (Arcade) (11)Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth (Wii Ware) (12)Contra Rebirth (Wii Ware) (13)Gradius ReBirth (Wii Ware) (14)Excitebike: World Rally (Wii Ware) (15)Shinobi (Arcade)

Ever seen clothing on 3D characters that weren't glued to their skin texture? 😒🙄 Before you post ridiculous things, remember to use context. A 2D side scroller has a far lower threshold of issues that can pop up since hit scanning is also 2 dimensional. 👍 Decent thoughts but, I can list a bunch of games that are on consoles which quality is top notch from well known developers.

Awesome video, John, as per usual.

Very good review Thanks for the time put in

No mentions about Streets of Rage Remake? It is easily one of the best fan made games of all time. Whoever made that clearly knew what made SoR great and is customizable down to every level.

Watch the making off the channel "stratefox" did with the older games, that channel it's excellent BTW! Give them the attention they deserve.

Yes please everyone, check out Splashwave!

Great series review and tech analisys, as usual. I'm waiting patiently to your update about the Switch versión before I throw my euros. Keep the good work!

I’m amazed by the effort you put into this.

Funny how, for me, the first one is by far the best. It just feels real: no flashy moves, only you, your most of the time bare knuckles, and the punks. The ninjas, jetpack men, the aliens, the flashy street fighter-like moves just break the ambiance. I'll probably enjoy this fourth Streets of Rage, but unfortunately the game won't put me bare knuckles against my enemies.

i agree 100%, the first one is so pure and fun. figuring out the boss patterns and i love the elevator fight and the "boss rush" in the last level. i tried to like the other versions too, but nope. its SOR 1 for me!

1 is my favourite too. The intro theme of SoR 1 is the best score ever made in a video game for me.

Out of all the games I've ever played my entire life I've probably played Streets of Rage 1 2 and 3 and Final Fight 1 2 and 3 in all the other beat em up games more than any other game I've ever played

As long as I can throw some enemies into pits, I'll probably have a decent time.

The output from this guy just keeps on getting better.

awesome analyis and background, learnt a lot more from a brawler's development perspective. Appreciate it! thank you!

What is the song name from the begining?! I neeeeed it

Dionysus Streets of Rage 4 main theme

Anybody here has ever played the AWSOME fan made Streets Of Rage Remake? Its on pc its very well made... Also i recomend another AWSOME fan made game Final Fight LNS ultimate (also for pc) check them out if you are and oldschool beat em up fan

I loved seeing the behind the scenes. It is mesmerizing to see the kind of technology they employed in this game, not to mention the passion and respect for the source material.

man, this vid really makes me appreciate SoR4 way more than I already did.

Didya check Final Fight's AI to confirm the claim? Didya check other belt-scrollers to see if their AI was equal or better? Or did you just pull the claim out of your ass?

Double dragon was and is fire

Watching this a second time, cuz its so good. Saw it a few days ago and I keep thinking about it. Thanks for making this-

Now that we've all had quality time with TMNT Shredder's Revenge, we can officially declare that Streets of Rage 4 is still King of the beat'em up resurgence and in the Top 5 of all time.
