I think this could both expand the Streets of Rage universe, and re-establish the fact that Adam is one of the main three characters of the franchise. I really like the idea of Adam having his own cast-not just of allies, but personal antagonists as well. And of course, you can use the opportunity to flesh out the cast a whole lot more with original characters. And for the second “Adam game”-during SoR4-you could have Estel join his supporting cast sometime after she comes to her senses regarding her misplaced support of the Y-Twins. You could even draw inspiration from the Streets of Rage 3: Adam’s Story mod from Remake and have Max as a part of his supporting cast for his POV of the third game. And I know that Remake exists, and I’m super thankful that it let Adam join Axel and Blaze in the fighting, but that sadly only half-counts due to the game not being canon or official in the series.īut even this leaves some potential-Adam could get two “gaiden” games, both with him as the main character and seeing what the events of 3 and 4 were like from his perspective. He literally only dives in to knock back the cops surrounding our heroes, hugs his daughter, disappears for the whole rest of the game and doesn’t show up again until after the climax has been resolved. Adam finally got his playable status restored in the main series, but he was only used as a deus ex machina in the story. Hell even in a (admittedly obscure) mobile remake of the first game, Adam was relegated to a tutorial guide rather than a playable character. Forced to be the damsel in distress in 2, unplayable in 3 despite investigating the nuclear bomb fiasco just like the other characters, and he wasn’t featured in the 90’s British comic adaptation of the series. Barring the very first game in the series, the dude keeps getting done dirty to some extent. Not only does it make the most sense, but he just deserves it, honestly. I think Adam is easily the best fit for this, out of all of the cast members. I gave my two cents, but upon some more consideration, I realized something: the fifth (and sixth) games in the series could be a spin off duology. If you can't watch the video, check out Brendy's separate Streets Of Rage 4 review for a sense of whether the game is for you.Recently just saw a post discussing a potential Streets of Rage 5, and what it would ideally contain. Also, Colm likes Sonic, because he's wrong. That doesn't mean much to me, but I know from watching Colm's excellent video review (embedded below) that the music is a big appeal of the series. X Nightmare DLC also includes new music, including tracks from Tee Lopes, a composer who previously worked on Sonic Mania. I'm particularly interested in the training system, because I played Streets Of Rage 4 for an hour and most of that time was spent being as thoroughly roasted as of one the chickens you can eat to restore your health. I don't think she slaps you with a giant swordfish in Streets Of Rage 4, but that's apparently one of the new weapons you can pick up, as shown in the trailer above.Īlongside the DLC, Streets Of Rage 4 will also get a free update to add a New Mania+ difficulty, a new training system and new colour palette options. The first new playable character is revealed in the trailer above as Estel Aguirre, a Special Forces Officer who appears as one of the bosses you fight in the base game.
