GRAND UPPAH!!!
Dotemu has dropped a short gameplay trailer for Lizardcube’s upcoming brawlerStreets of Rage 4. The clip features ex-cops Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding ripping through a selection of recognisable enemies, backed with a sweet remix of the franchise’s piano-rave soundtrack. Axel has become a right hunk o’ ham in the ensuing years
Also notable in the final shot are silhouettes of as-yet-unrevealed characters. Could that be Adam on the left, or perhaps an adult version of his brother, Skate? On the right we have a huge dude with a mech-arm. Is that you, Max? what happened to your arm, brother? Could it beStreets of Rage 4’srobot-grandad, Zan? Hopefully we’ll find out more details soon.
In terms of gameplay,SoR 4is looking very respectful of its predecessors. Even though it has a new, comic-book-style look, the moves and animation frames are all instantly recognisable fromStreets of Rage 2, including some of our heroes trademark special attacks. Throw in some new locales and aFight’n Rage-esque juggle system and yeah boy, this is looking very cool indeed.
