Sega, make my wish, make Streets Of Rage 4

[segarocks30]

As you can see by my avatar, my favorite game series is Streets of Rage. My god when I first played Streets Of Rage 2 when I was 4, I had to play it with my cousin everyday. Oh the memories of me being Axel and my cousin being Skate, kicking Mr.X henchmen ass. I remember the first time when me and my cousin got to Shiva and Mr.X and beat them. I was the only one left standing as Axel. It was memorable and the best moment of my life. For some reason, I love Shiva. He is a kick ass fighter that is cool. Well back to my point, I really want Sega to release another sequel to this Beat Em Up classic. The question though, will Nintendo let them?!

[jajaja]

Making a SoR game today could only be released on GBA. I mean, making a game with GFX like that for PS2/GC/XBOX today wont sell very well, unfortunatly. Games today are all about 3d (except for GBA). It could be possible and I guess it would sell ok. They just did Gunstar Heros for GBA so I wouldnt be very suprised if they make a SoR port or new game :)

I wonder how long they will contunie to make GBA games. I hope for a long time because it will most likely be the last console/portable that will have "classic" games.

[Whiskers the Wonder Cat]

No. No SOR IV. Sega will fuck it up. Leave the series alone. 3 of them is good enough.

These boys should be working on Sonic Adventure 3 instead.

I saw an interview with Yuzo Koshiro a while back where he said there was a SOR4 planned for the DC but it got canned.

I always really liked the series -- thought it was better than Final Fight. If they did one of those plug and plays with any of the games on them, I'd buy it.

Streets of Rage 2 was one of the best sequals in history. It did everything a sequal should. I cant think of a single thing in SOR1 that wasn't improved upon in that game. I've never had the chance to try 3 but it didn't look like it was that much better. I resented them leaving out Max, whom was way better than Skate.

It got to the point of demostration/concept videos, but got canned.

EDIT: Looks like those video links don't work. :(

Wasn't there a Sega Ages SoR planned too? I seem to remember a couple of pics of it.

Leave Bare Knuckle.....what still ticks me off is about Sonic Gems Collection (US Verison) removing the SOR Trilogy... :angry: Damn ESRB ratings and NOA for that one...

[Push Upstairs]

As much as i'd like a 4th title i'm going to also have to say "leave it alone".

While i'm mad I never got to play as Adam again (he was best in SOR1) I was quite happy to play as Blaze is the other two games.

And everyone should do themselves good and just play "Bare Knuckle 3" and skip SOR3. BK3 is just better.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

I think in the same way like other forum members, no more Street of Rage. Sega guys must be working in better games like the Panzer Dragoon series, Sonic adventure, Phantasy star and the list continues...

Most important thing...Sega...c´mon, give us a machine!!! please!!!...oh...i´m only dreaming...

MAN! UGH! They changed the whole freaking story! Stupid Sega of America or w/e they are called here. And Ash doesn't appear in SOR3! How lame is that?! As for a remake.... If they made a direct port of the games to the GBA, that would actually be a good idea. If they remade it like they did with shining force 1, I wouldn't be very excited with that :/

LOL

No SOR IV, that's why Senile Team went and made Beats of Rage on their own - then it was ported to the Dreamcast and a whole modding community sprung up around it.

Game Genie baby! Of course you can only *PLAY AS* Ash but he is in the game.

He's really too strong for the game, just like Shiva.

Right there with ya, buddy. And, Wow, I'm old or something. 4?! I was 17.

SOR could kick ass on the GBA.

[segarocks30]

That would be even more awesome to have SOR on DS. I would buy a GBA Streets of rage.

No kidding! I bought this in Singapore for $2 and haven't regretted it at all. Truly much better than SOR3 and one of my best games.

Damn ESRB ratings and NOA for that one...

How is NOA at fault here?

[Ackman]

You should prolly try The Rage (for 3d SOR action)

http://www.fluidgames.net/games/therage/download.html

it's very good...... and then the 2d remake which also isn't too bad.... but still in beta...

http://www.bombergames.se32.com/ playable demo not too shabby at all MAX is back

This could be something really great as times goes on I hope.


I wouldn't hold my breath for SEGA to make a new SOR I don't think it will happen :( their Dynamite Cop Series was quite fun... they won't even make a new Golden Axe the world is really in need of a new GA Namcos Dark Mage might suffice but I doubt it.... Gauntlet the 7 sorrows doesn't even deliver :(

[nik]

beats of rage is awsome.

i knew that was gonna be brought up, but NOA? Let's talk about their decisions lately, they were on a great roll with the Resident Evil series....then as soon as the contract cut short...back to the T's and E's again...

Yet back to the point....NOA called the shots to produce this....they had the right to decide what should have been kept on this GameCube title....SOA could have been blamed as well..

I just want to find out why did they make such a decision?

Simply to keep it at a "Sonic" level? Just like they took away the two games from Sonic Mega Collection? Yet letting Xbox and PS2 owners have the good ones? Sure it's a measly two....yet shouldn't the games, regardless of the platform it appears on have the equal amount of goods to deliver for the consumer?

GameCube is not for kids for godsakes, with Chaos Field right around the corner this week. You know NOA has some balls to release this for the hardcore audiences.

[poloplayr]

they'd probably make it 3D. yuck.

[Ackman]

they'd probably make it 3D. yuck.

well if they do it right like Die Hard Arcade for the Saturn or Dynamite Cop 2 for the Dreamcast....

Spikeout was also pretty good for it's time but it hasn't aged as well meh..... :(

[poloplayr]

Go! Go! Ackman!

[Ackman]

Or alternatively GO! GO! Mr Yamaguchi!

I always wanted to say that @_@

[SuperShark]

I just want to add that I tried out 'The Rage' which someone linked to this morning for about 2 mins, and within that short time I liked it. I say get the demo and play it, though I will proably play through the demo and be done with the game for good, definitly wouldnt buy it for much.

I also think that SOR or BK on the GBA would be great! I would love to see some more great SOR style gameplay, which brings me to BeatsOfRage.

I got, I believe, all the files for this (along with files for some emulators that are to run on DC), but I am a n00b at burning ISOs, and I do not have any good burning program like Nero, Alchlol, and etc. Is there anyway that someone could tell me how to get this working on my DC? Do I have to get some burning program or can I use what I got on my computer? Is there a free program that is easy to use that would work? Can anyone help me here?

It only cost 9 dollar :/ and it was made in 2000 still like 90 times better than Fighting Force and all those other crap wana be Beat em ups but whatever.

I think you need this program http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ but I could be wrong www.emutalk.net would be a better place to discuss things like this anyway. :D

[Ackman]

Yeah but SEGA should probably make a new Golden Axe instead mkay :D but they can't wait to make a game about a Chav chiawawa with gun and bling, bling bah dirty bastards :(

Umm, ok. Sure. Considering the fact that Sega published this, and Sonic Team developed it, I somehow doubt Nintendo was in significant control of this project. I also have a hard time believing that Nintendo would intentionally make a game inferior to versions available on the competition's system (Sonic Mega Collection). All of these decisions were SEGA's.

Considering the fact that Nintendo welcomes pretty much any game to their system (uncensored BMX XXX on GameCube, censored BMX XXX [BY SONY] on the PS2) something tells me they just won't give a shit if Sega releases a Sonic game that is rated "T".

So you're saying nintendo should pointlessly maturify games? That didn't work either; see Shadow the Hedgehog. That game sucked ass.

[SuperShark]

Dude, I got that game for the XB, and it totally Rockz! The only part that would come anywhere close to what you are saying is the retarted, stupid, flipped up voice-overs! And I also hate how you cant have the origional Japanese voiceovers (never have I seen that since the Dreamcast, tough I have not played most GC ones) and how you are also required to have the subtitles (once again, it was like this on XB Sonic Heros, hate it). I wish that they would give you options to hear ANY, and I mean just about ANY other language VOs in this game, especially when you must have the english subtitles anyway. The English voice overs suck like crazy. Only really good ones are Shadow (thank God, with him being the main character and all), and Black Doom. The rest are horable!!! They sound stupid, retarted, and gay (and when I say gay, I mean extreamly sutpid, realy happy (in the darkest sonic game yet) and homosexual like, so bout every defenition that you have ever heard for the word).

I could complain for hours on each indivudal character voice over, excluding Shadow and Black Doom, but I still think that other than that, this game is totaly rad!

[evil_genius]

I think Streets of Rage 4 would do well. Everybody who has played and loved Streets of Rage in the past would be obliged to buying it. But the 2d market is virtually dead, so let the series die as well.

[The S]

I find it a bit presumptuous that one could predict that simply making a fourth game in the series would cause it to be a poor game. As well as that, it is not fair to fans of the series who would like to see the likes of Axel, Blaze, Sammy, Adam, and others back in action.

Streets of Rage was one of the Genesis' best games, and in my opinion, better in most ways that Final Fight (no disrespect to FF, though). To see it revived in the new millennium would be absolute bliss.

Although it would possibly work best in 2D on a portable system, there is nothing saying it wouldn't be fun in 3D. 3D beat-'em-ups are making a comeback, as per The Warriors and Urban Reign, as well as Final Fight's new title, Streetwise (although its popularity and fun level are yet to be seen).
