Streets of Rage Remake (Updates in First Post)

That music sampler = st akuma.

omg, wru 12/31?! :sad:

Oh my bad, lol, I thought it got faster by watching the video, thanks for telling me though, still, this fucken game looks pimp, only a few more days til the 31st, great way to end the year.

Today is the day!

Edit: still…not…up…

They didn’t specify an exact time. If there aren’t any problems, the file should be up for download before midnight. They’re 6 hours ahead of us (Madrid). It’s funny, the members at the Bombergames forum have literally set up camp in front of their computers.

So um…when IS the midnight we’re waiting for? How many minutes/hours left?

I’m no good at figuring out these things, being half a world away… >_>

Ya’ll act like this is the damned PS3 release. Like you guys have nothing else to do. Chill out and it’ll come.

I know I can wait for something that’s trying to live up to the greatness of the series. Fucking up SOR is near blasphemy.

No, no. I wasn’t referring to lack of features/gameplay elements or bugs. I’m talking about the general look/feel of the game. The way punches hit, the way everything works. Instead of just stealing the basic gameplay code like Beats of Rage did (with AMAZING results, I might add), they tried to build something from the ground up that was similar to the SOR formula, that tries to be SOR, but it falls flat.

And what’s sad about that is, it probably took a MAD amount of time to build a gameplay system from -near- scratch like that. Same with the “redone” graphics. They would have been better served using those resources elsewhere (like level design and enemy layout which were horrible in the demo).

Although to be fair level design and enemy layout will hopefully and probably be fixed for release.

Lol I scrutinize this as if it were being done by Sega themselves. But seriously, if you can’t do a flawless job you shouldn’t be touching such a timeless IP as SOR.

Eh, from what I played I thought it was actually pretty good. (I own all the SOR games so I’ve played them extensively), I was very impressed that they even remembered some of the little touches, like when you hold the attack and let it go, doing a their little stock attack thing.

I have never played Beats of Rage, and really need to give it a go.

Though, I would have to admit that the real reason I want this game is for the GeckoYamori remixes, they found the right guy to remix for this game.

Full version will be up in 30 minutes.

it’s up now. check it out here

edit:
i take that back. it’s being uploaded as we speak. i can see the size of the file growing by the minute

Edit 2:
LET’S GET IT ON!

Anyone here get a successful download yet?

Halfway through…but bloody earthquake which messed up the International line hampers my speed.

It’s about 72/73 MBs, right? According to Flashget, I’ll be done in an hour plus.

EDIT: Dammit, stuck at 99%. And then it wouldn’t resume no matter what I did. So it’s a few more hours for me.

Fuck.

Game is fuckin good… DL IT NOW!

Just for the record, if the cops can lay waste to a horde of thugs with missiles, I don’t see why bringing in guns with limited ammo would hurt.

Anyway, I never played SoR3 so before I download, what’s Dr. Zan like in this one? I heard he sucked in 3 and I always wanted to play him.

He was the “Slow” character in SOR3. He had reach and is attack power was decent. Hardly used him though.

I’m really liking the game, but i’m getting problems with it. Whenever i pause the game, i can’t exit the pause screen. Pressing esc does nothing and none of the action keys work. The only thing i can do is cycle between Continue and Exit.

i’m still getting hitbox issues at times. There are times when enemies are invincible when they shouldn’t be. And the priority on the bare knuckle has been nerfed.

More than just the bare knuckle. A lot of the run moves seem to be kinda nerfed. Doesn’t really hurt the game though. Shit is pretty tight but I also do notice the hitbox issues you noticed. A lot of times with skates my punches will completely whiff when hes on their back.

the cpu player ai is also retarded. i just got stuck on the last stage cuz he won’t move. fuckin bullshit. also, the muay thai guys have a one hit ko with their knee at certain times. pretty dumb.

edit:
now Shiva just killed me with one jump kick. I know shiva is a bad ass and all, but I know that’s just not supposed to happen. And i killed Mr. X but the game just froze cuz that stupid henchman won’t leave the screen. Stupid pos.

If anyone happens to get any cheats, post them here. Cuz I was way too far to get fucked over with a POS glitch like that.

I played it lastnight. All in all, it’s what I expected. I got my ass beat on stage 8. The agents and Muay Thais were too much. Haven’t gone through all the paths yet. I’ll be downloading and burning the game on a CD tomorrow.

Is there anything else in the moveset added beside the u+jump for safe fall when thrown?

Also, was that REALLY the finally version on the link? It was only around 70 MB or so… is that still the beta, or is that the final version?

Regardless, it’s some good shit. However, I just couldn’t beat it solo. Tried numerous times and I just couldn’t get past stage 8.

Skate is trash in this game, IMO though. He got nerfed a lot I think. Then again, the last time I played Streets of Rage 2 was like 8 years ago I think.
