Update:

The artstyle still looks like shit.

 

[racofer]

FUCK YEAH!

 

[Modron]

Looks better in motion than stills. These guys did a good job on their previous remake will watch for further updates.

 

[Tweed]

I hate it.

Will stick to original trilogy and Remake.

Shoulda been more like this:

 

[Lutte]

looks like a Flash game.

Flash games with that level of quality in the animation? where?

At this point in production it feels like a cameo.

Game still looks shit. Remake is the way to go.

Streets of Rage 4 launches for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in 2020.

New trailer introduces the latest character:

Cherry Hunter is the daughter of Adam Hunter from the original Streets of Rage.

Trained by her father and Axel, Cherry learned self-defense from a young age. Her interest in following in her father’s footsteps and becoming a cop soon faded out, replaced by her love of music. Nowadays, she plays with her electro progressive rock band in some of the most dangerous places in Wood Oak City. She may look young but make no mistake – she is a seasoned veteran of kicking ass and taking names.

The new trailer also reveals several more levels in the upcoming game at different times of day: neon lighted urban rooftops, elevator, seedy airport hangars, dirty sewers, thumping music stage and many more are all yours for the taking – lay the smackdown and don’t look back.

Streets of Rage 4 will be the first entry to the core series in 25 years, standing as Axel and Blaze’s glorious return to serving up side-scrolling beatdowns. With lush hand-drawn animations, new combat abilities, and fresh tracks from an amazing team of composers, Streets of Rage 4 will be a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic action fans adore.

I was more excited for the 2 seconds we saw Shiva.

How about instead of putting Adam's brother or Adam's daughter in the game we just put Adam back in?

Not so sure on Cherry fitting the vibe they're going for. But I guess these games always had weird/gimmicky characters alongside the usual ones.

 

[Tweed]

Looks like shit.

 

[Ash]

The art style is detailed and has some kind of appeal, yet at the same time looks like shit. Needs less cartoon-ness and more grit.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

I don't dislike the look of it, but it's also a pretty radical departure from how the past games looked. It would've been nice if it looked like the covers of the old games.

 

[Sukhāvatī]

For those that haven't seen these neat mini-docs yet.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Yeah, the old SoR games looked great and still do to this day. My issues with the SoR4 artstyle is it doesn't exude that same personality to it. Things seem kind of flat and nothing pops out.

It'll probably be a fun game, perfectly serviceable as a beat 'em up. But this is STREETS OF RAGE, baby. This is to many people THE beat 'em up. This is was the game us Sega Genesis fans would hold over SNES fans when they'd try to bring Final Fight to the argument. I don't want a fun game, or a serviceable or even just a good game. I expect a beat 'em up that's so great it makes me have to take a break to keep my brain from melting at how awesome it is.

And if this game has no playable Adam or Max then I'll really be heated.
