  • Streets of Rage 4 came out a couple of days ago (and is on Game Pass):

    I've been playing 1&2 since the Mega Drive, and had no idea it was coming. Pleased to say it's great, though! Controls just like the original (maybe even better?) and has a nice art style and soundtrack, and you can also swap to the original.

    Honestly wasn't expecting much when I saw it, but it looks like it's been made with a lot of love/sympathy for the originals. Just a shame the Retro-Bit Genesis controllers don't work with the Xbox One.

  • Good to hear it's decent, I'm generally pretty scepical when it comes to modernising of retro games.

  • Yeah, likewise - to be honest, I was expecting to come away saying 'why would I play something that isn't Streets of Rage 1&2 when Streets of Rage 1&2 exist?' at best, so it was a nice surprise.

    I was similarly impressed by Alien: Isolation, too - I think it says a lot for things like the art style and design (although I'm not an expert in these things) too.
