Streets of Rage prototype

[ParanoiaDragon]

Got this from Magicbox, this is a prototype for a new Streets of Rage that apparently got cancelled.

It's lacking something...I can't quite put my finger on it...

I actually think it looked pretty good for an early build of a game.  The music would definitely need to be improved and the game needed to be sped up, but that was a solid foundation.

Of course 2 or maybe even 4 players would be a must.

Best part of the video was the opening, I love how the thug threw the molotov into the Sega arcade.

I love how arcade machines, like everything else, were massively combustable in the 80s.

BTW, how long before Sega gets this taken down?

[bartre]

yeah, it's kind of hard to believe that they'd dump something like this.
it looked pretty good, I'd have definitely picked it up on principle alone.

Agreed.  The graphics look great, but it doesn't look like it would be fun.  I think part of it is that the main character moves too fast, but it also looks kind of bland, gameplay style.

Looks like the Saturn version. I'd rather have that than this.

Interesting...looks like it would have been an updated Fighting Force game.  Cool intro.

Damn. Not to be a total wuss, but that stomping-on-a-guy's-face-while-he's-on-the-ground stuff is f*cking violent. I'll stick with 8- and 16-bit brawlers.

[Necromancer]

Other than the slo-mo crap, it looks pretty good to me.  I'd definitely play it.

Well, the whole point of the game is to beat the other guys to death.

[kazekirifx]

Looks fine to me.

What about just knocking them down until they disappear?

That's how I fight. It can take days.

[fraggore]

There should have left it as a side scroller, looking like that would have been cool, put some bagging music in there and keep the old game play with some new moves and your on a winner.

Looks very western with all the unnecessary preamble and the such. It says STAGE 1 START but you've gotta sit through a bunch of nonsense before stage 1 actually starts. Then you beat up 3 or so guys and the screen fades out to more unnecessary preamble introducing the next character you're abut to fight. I hate games that keep taking me out of the game! This is only acceptable between stages.
