Daniel Ibbertson What do you think of Limited Run releasing SofR4 only for it to be announced that Europe will be getting its own release through a different publisher? I'm super pissed off tbh! Ive paid all that extra in shipping and as far as i can tell, the cover art is better on the European release and you also get a booklet and key ring!

Streets of Rage series will forever be my all time favorite beat em up hands down and wonderful video.

I remember as a kid, my best friend got Streets of Rage 2 before I did when it came out. One night over the Easter holidays when she came to sleep over at my house, she brought her copy of the game with her. Once we started playing it we just couldn't get enough of it. We spent the whole night playing it until about 6 in the morning when we eventually fell asleep after completing it for what must have been about the 100th time. I would eventually get my copy on my 11th birthday in August. We're still very close friends and both have Streets of Rage 4 on the PS4, we've been thinking about having another get together with the game after the pandemic ends like we did all those years ago, though it probably won't be another all-nighter this time.

Totally agree,

the fact that a different boss was orignally planned for stage 5 in SOR1 reminds me that a different boss was also planned for stage 1 in SOR2. instead of fighting Barbon, players would instead fight two red-coloured Zamzas. it was changed to Barbon because the devs felt that fighting multiple high-speed clawed bosses at once might have been a bit too hard for the first stage and especially for new players

Love these super in-depth histories and this one particularly takes me right back to the early 90s Mean Machines days and being so excited for any screenshot or little snippet of information about Streets of Rage 2 and, later, 3 coming out. Bare Knuckle III is very underrated and the soundtrack is almost as good as SoR2 for me. Nice one!

Thank you so much for this video. It was very comprehensive and insightful. I only had SoR 1 but it was one of my favourite games and that soundtrack has stayed with me for years. Until I was in my late teens I didn't know anyone who knew/appreciated the franchise, luckily thanks to internet forums and KZread I found fellow fans who shared my opinions. I'm so glad that SoR4 exists and it is as good as it is feeling nostalgic and a little fresh at the same time. Hopefully this'll lead to a sequel and more forgotten Sega franchises coming back.

This was an incredible retrospective, thank you!

I always called "Toxic" to the reskin of Blaze for some reason, it kinda sounds very 90's and i think it was because Poison is quite the recognizable evil lady and of course we have our "Poison" in Streets of Rage but for some reason everytime i played the first game and fought against Blaze's recolor i always called her Toxic.

SOR4 Intro: shows Axel running Axel in-game: can't run

My absolute number ONE game series. Ever. I find myself watching this Documentary over and over again! Your videos are amazing brutha!!!

Oh man, high five! This video was very detailed and comprehensive in terms of the history of this franchise. Nice little nod to the Game Sack guy who did some of the quotes. Your Streets of rage videos had me curious and now this one is by far my favorite that you've done. Well done dude!

Thank you for doing the third game justice with your coverage this time around (although you still didn't mention all of the new mechanics like dashing, rolling, and the special bar). I consider "Bare Knuckle III" (the Japanese version only, of course) to actually be even better than the second game.

Late to the party, really dove into Streets of Rage 4 over the past month & loving it! This retrospective was outstanding!

Hopefully it won't be long until Streets of Rage 5 gets announced and then you will have to make this video all over again for a third time! lol

Hello Slope, this video is awesome! You did a wonderful job with talking about the history and everything about Streets of Rage. This video inspired me to buy the Nintendo 3Ds versions, as well as Sega Genesis Classics for my Switch. Next on my Wishlist is Streets of Rage 4!

Awesome update video! I had seen your first history of Streets of Rage video years ago and recently rewatched it lol I love beat 'em ups

Finally! I waited for this for years! And true enough, I did subscribe to you because of your "complete history". This feels so historical to finally see this video up!

Damn, all of the cameos in this video from other KZread content creators are great!

I hope in the near future they make more games like this soon I can't wait. HIGH FIVE

I love the Renegade/Super Dodge Ball art style for the sprites. Good video, mate.

This dude single handedly predicted the future without knowing at first. It's quite interesting that sega really took influence to make sor4 just by looking at his previous history video of the sor trilogy.

It's far too easy to even find Street of Rage Remake (pretty sure its always in the top 5 search results).

God, the soundtrack on this series is god mode. I never owned a Sega but I had a friend (J-WU-YIN FTW!) who had Streets of Rage 2 and DAMN did we put some hours into this one! So glad these old games are on Steam.

Fantastic job, dude! This is a great retrospective/tribute to in my opinion, the greatest beat’em up franchise in gaming history!

Fantastic video! SoR2 was my favourite as a kid and still one of my all time top games, so it's been a real treat to see a comprehensive video on the series.

DJ Slopes, I wanted to thumb-up this video twice, but silly KZread won't allow it though! 😉

Can you do a 2020 edition of The Complete History of Double Dragon?

Thank you for this video. I recently got into Streets of Rage via the fourth game on the switch while visiting a friend and got it for myself. It's been so fun, the dlc they've added is so good for replayability and everything. I wanted to learn more about the history of this game for I wasn't around back when the older games released and never got to experience them. This did exactly just that. Thank you for allowing me to appreicate this great lineage of games!

Amazing work Dan! Informative and entertaining. It's always a treat when I see you've released another complete history. I'm looking forward to the next one, dude!

I still hope one day SoRR gets an official release from Sega. Would be a great companion piece to Sonic Mania...plus being able to play it on the Switch would be awesome.

A new Golden Axe game would be hype af.

SEGA should of just worked with the person making the Streets Of Rage Remake and released it to purchase at the time which would of been way better than them just re releasing the original games which is what they were doing at the time... also SEGA seems to have have a more positive reception towards fan games these days compared to back then so unfortunately the creator of the remake just got unlucky as I guarantee if it was released today they probably would not really have an issue with it. Another thing about the remake that just baffles me is that SEGA knew for years that it was been made and didn't even step in to stop it until he released it... like what the hell SEGA?... In my opinion though calling it a remake really undersells it as it's more of a re imagining of all the three games but way better in my honest opinion... I mean it's just way better than the originals in every possible way and is the best Streets Of Rage game even though it's not technically official as it's a fan game.

Stoked to see this go up mate, brilliant video as always. It's like the channel just came full circle :)

Ya killed this video sir 🤜🏿💥🤛🏿 thank you for taking the time to cover this historical franchise in gaming history

Thank you so much for putting this effort into one video. This is outstanding.. All of these videos are so good that are reminding me of Crackles' Nintendo documentary

Was blown away by Streets of Rage 4 and contrary to the apparent accepted trend I never got to try SoR2 as my local video rental never stocked it. I skipped straight to the 3rd and enjoyed the higher difficulty of the story mode. Ended up getting SoR2 many years later and found it to be great fun. So glad they finally pulled it together and got the fourth pushed out, as I loved the open source reboot of the trilogy that got cease and desisted! You'll find me in the top 20 of the first SoR game high score rankings. Absolutely adored the series. Cheers for the update video to include the fourth!

Streets of Rage 2 is a Masterpiece on so many levels....

Beautiful video. Like you and many others I love this series. I already owned a Super Nintendo when I decided to rent a Genesis system along with a handful of games. One of those games was the first Streets of Rage. I had to have it. When I got a Genesis some time later it came with Sonic the Hedgehog AND Streets of Rage II. My brother and I played it over and over. We were huge beat em up fans to begin with. The Beats - the gameplay... I remember renting the third one and at the time I was not interested enough to buy it. I own all three via some compilations at this point and still play /dance to them. I bought 4 already but trying to beat the first three again before jumping in. Love both of your SOR videos. Keep it up. The fact SOR 4 folks watched your videos is amazing!

Streets of Rage memory: Streets of Rage was the first game I ever played, but it was early 1990 and I was too young to really get it, but I remember it clearly. It really shaped the way I played make believe games, imagining my 4 year old self now as Axel or Adam 😅 Christmas Eve 1991, my cousin got a SNES with Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior and I thought this was the greatest thing I'd ever seen and BEGGED my parents for games console. They refused for years, but by Christmas 1993, I was finally "old enough" for my own console and they knew I wanted a fighting game. Streets of Rage 2 was the first video game I ever owned and it's still one of the greatest games I ever played as a kid. So many nostalgic hours spent playing it in my front room with my Dad. In many ways, I think it spoiled me as i struggled to find other games i thought as good! These days, I still think Remake is the way to go when playing old school and I love SOR4 - and whilst its not QUITE as good as it could've been, in some VERY minor areas I might add - I'm just so glad they've brought back my favourite franchise and genre in an amazing love letter to our childhoods. Great vid, Hi-Five 👍🙌

Thanks for the hard work! I've always loved this franchise, and your video formats keep me coming back. Do Suikoden next!! 😂😂

Incredible work here; loved every minute. Well done!

One of your best complete history videos Daniel, nice work.

I just discovered your Complete History series and I’m thrilled! I watched the Shinobi one earlier, watching this now, and I’ve added 18 additional Complete History videos to one of my gaming playlists. I have hours and hours of fascinating, well done documentaries on retro gaming to look forward to and enjoy. These take me back to simpler times. Big Ups Slope! Edit: I forgot! I love the voiceovers in this video! I did not expect to see Game Sack and Fredrik Knudsen here. Pleasant surprise.

I rarely comment, but this vid is very good: thorough research, great editing, nice understanding of the different game mechanics and subtle differences in the different versions of the game, and of the cultural phenomenon that these titles are. Well done. One can feel the personal involvement and passion for the series (i remember everything very similarly, from my first SEGA GENESIS on... nostalgia). Thanks for the work of putting this together. I especially appreciate the inclusion of the old design docs for the first games, and the testimonials or comments and interview bits from the developers. I was a bit afraid the masterpiece *Streets of Rage REMAKE* wouldn't be included, but I'm so glad it is [ 51:39 ]. I also loved seeing the different mutual influences in the game design, and the inspiration from many other games (for example, for me it's clear that this Level shown in 51:20 inspired the "kitchen level" in Streets of Rage 4, and like this with a thousand million more little details and inspirations or mutual influences one could list from different titles). It is a shame that SEGA has been so stupid with many of its IPs and franchises [ 49:22 ], canceling projects with good prototypes, like the one started in Australia for Golden Axe, and so many others, and attacking the SoR-Remake Project instead of integrating it into the company (an arrogant decision that they should regret every day as a company). Just a small correction: at [ 54:10 ] you say "be it as it may, it's literally the same game". This is incorrect. SoRR is a Game Development masterpiece that expanded and improved the original titles in each and every single aspect, including new characters, levels, remastered visuals and soundtracks, new VFX and SFX, etc. It resulted in one of the best fan-made games EVER made, if not the best one, given the perfectionism behind it. It was also one of the primary sources of research and development consultation in the making of SoR4 actually, as Dotemu, LizardCube, and Guard Crush Games said in various interviews. To better understand the magnitude of that project, and the magnificence of the result, it would be good to consult this video too: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZukrMaHfcLTdsY.html

The first SOR complete history was the first video of yours I watched- been watching every week since. Always the best stuff, and it's great to have an updated version. I'm in love with SOR4- It's got everything the originals had, but this time, I got to play it through for the first time with my daughter as player 2. It's now her favourite game (she loved the others in any case), but these memories will now last for her life-time, as those playing the first when I was years old have for me.
