If you read the description, you'll see that the original composer for the Streets of Rage soundtrack composed the soundtrack for Project X Zone 2. That's why the soundtrack to the game has that Sega Genesis vibe.
1:00 What I love the most is how they didn't change a THING for this part. It's so perfectly Genesis and the original song, even they knew it was the BEST. I must have held on to this area for like 10 minutes just listening to this song on loop when it appeared.
streets of rage has earned a very special place in my heart, I really loved his style of play his characters his music is incredible everything apart from the fact that Axel is my favorite character God that man if it is powerful to play this is one of the best decisions I have made in my life
Well... for the first time in my life I've begin to play Project X Zone 2 a few weeks ago (I've never searched any info of this game in particular). I was playing normaly when I saw Axel appear and the classic Go Straight started to play...I was like... OH-MY-FRIGGING-GOD!! And didn't skipped any dialog for a few minutes just to keep listening to this master piece haha. Sry, I'm old.
I first got a dreamcast when I was 10 years old. I'm 25 now but Streets of Rage 2 (on the sega smash disc) is still one of my all time favorite games to play. Without fail it always gets the party started
These games are probably the most underrated rpgs I can think of, if you claim to love capcom, Sega and a ton of the rest of old school developers you should be demanding this game on switch and any new ones at that. The characters and love of their lore is second to none. If a console idea of this hit it should break the internet.
Never gonna happen. KOF XIII's sprites were so labor-intensive it nearly killed SNKP. Even though Sega's certainly a bigger company, I'd doubt that they'd want to just smash their faces against that kind of wall either. If there EVER is a new SoR, I'd bet it'd be more akin to something like Double Dragon Neon.
It wasn't Labor Intensive as much as it was just fucking Dumb. TRACING OVER 3D Models SOUNDS Cool. Until you realized you paid for BOTH 3D Modelling AND 2D Sprite Work, Doubling game cost. GGXRD had the right idea with 3D Models and combining it with Animation Cels.
+RafaelDB64 I remember AlphaOmegaSin talking in a video about how Sega should give Sonic a break and go back to some of their other franchises and he mentioned SOR in it. Sega has just as big of IP catalog as Nintendo and yet and they do nothing with their other franchises that have been on the shelf collecting dust for years. The only games Sega is putting out is Sonic and Phantasy Star. Sonic is their golden boy and they still put out shitty or mediocre games. I would love a new SOR, or a new Golden Axe which I think the character Gilius Thunderhead should have been in Project X Zone 2, but anyway Sega really should bring some of their great franchises that have been long forgotten to the modern era of gaming.
you know what would have been amazing having Cody and Axel as a pair both of them are essentially the same shit the only difference is that Cody actually went rogue
+ZelosWilder , oddly enough, Cody and Guy were in Project X Zone 1. However, with that being said, the Street Fighter and Final Fight universes actually coexist in the same realm.
+Ibuki Mioda , No, it was Cody and Guy that was in that game. Haggar is actually in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3/Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3...or was I thinking of Tekken x Street Fighter?
Lei Wulong: FLEEZE! Oh wait, aren't you the fugitive Cody from Metro City!? Axel: it's okay, Lei. He rectified his ways. Now he is the Mayor Cody Travers. Cody: yeah, yeah, past is gone, bla bla bla. What about we show these guys some punishment by fist? My security policy, of course.
This song defines my childhood and why SOR 2 was the best sidescrolling game ever when I was younger and I got this for my birthday plugged in the cartridge yes old school 😂 and chose Axel this theme came on and I was woah this song is awesome and you knew shit was gonna go down for a fight. I love this remake of this legendary theme. I hope they can port someday streets of rage remake to consoles
I remember playing SoR 2 on the Sega Genesis Collection and LOVING this song when I played the game. I just kept jamming to it. Looking forward to the sequel. I really should finish Project X Zone 1. I'm like 75 percent done with the game.
SoR made it into the top 10 most wanted SEGA comebacks. Considering the option wasn't available by default, I consider the initiative as successful. :)
Hell YEA!!! they should do that just like they did with Rash from battletoads being a playable character in Killer Instinct. That would be dope but as of right now well Idk anymore since Crapcom is being such a crap with their games lately.
I end up using Axel more then some pair units themselves...drain half the enemy HP bar and then let Axel do the rest...lots of combos and easy to critical...plus A rank damage= dead monster
Since game developers these days been bringing back some old games with some of them being remastered, completely brand new and/or a collection of the title series, I hope they remake Streets of Rage titles again and/or make some new ones.
