Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.13,0:00:19.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>>Rafael Fernandes: The retrogamer community is quite peculiar.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.58,0:00:22.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not content to reminisce and discuss the great jewels of the past,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.92,0:00:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,many fans and aficionados dedicated themselves to personal projects,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.90,0:00:30.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which are usually made without any financial or structural support to move on.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.34,0:00:35.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are hundreds of translations, hacks, patches, remixes, remasterings, anyway,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.76,0:00:40.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,various types of tributes to the games that provided so much joy in the past.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.15,0:00:43.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many of these projects end up stopping along the way,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.86,0:00:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,either for lack of support, time or motivation.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.58,0:00:51.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And others, when you think that will not continue and almost forget that it ever existed,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.02,0:00:54.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here it rises from the ashes and surprises everyone with a masterful job.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.75,0:00:57.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the case of our review:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.10,0:01:00.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the final version of Streets of Rage Remake, for PCs.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.40,0:01:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The project, initiated in 2003 by a programmer named Bomberlink,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.44,0:01:13.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,intended to pay homage to this franchise unjustly forgotten by Sega in time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.69,0:01:17.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The idea would be recreate on PCs several classic elements of the series,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.59,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,plus add some new features, in a completely new engine.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,0:01:25.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As he described it, the remake is a visual interpretation of the Mega Drive games,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.28,0:01:28.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being created from an entirely new programming,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.25,0:01:31.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would simulate perfectly the gameplay of the original games
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.58,0:01:35.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and would update some things to bring a better gaming experience.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.89,0:01:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first beta version of the game was launched in the same year,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.62,0:01:42.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bringing a great receptivity to the project and attracting more contributors.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.87,0:01:45.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,From time to time, new versions were posted,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.70,0:01:51.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but only in 2006 is that the project would launch its most complete version, called 4.0.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.70,0:01:57.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This version became a big hit, spread across several sites and social networks.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.30,0:02:00.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course there were still some bugs and things to be improved,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.30,0:02:03.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but still, the game was complete and well done.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.50,0:02:07.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Since that time, many people had forgotten about the game, until now…
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.05,0:02:15.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The fifth version of the game is also the final,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.13,0:02:17.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as stated by Bomberlink on his own site.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.70,0:02:22.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all credit must be attributed to him for having made one of the best games of all time.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.67,0:02:27.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The game features 105 stages, remixed songs, various characters,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.05,0:02:30.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enemies, a cool story, and many customization options.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.87,0:02:32.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's impossible not being better with that, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.02,0:02:36.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When starting the game, the player can choose which stage to start,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.91,0:02:40.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is directly related to what kind of adventure the character will play,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.70,0:02:44.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in other words, each of the four routes is inspired by a game in the series.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.22,0:02:48.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the middle of the adventure, there is the possibility of changing the path,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.28,0:02:51.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in other words, if you're playing the stages of the first Streets of Rage,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.85,0:02:54.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can change to the stages of the second, and so on.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.72,0:03:00.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Still, the design of the stages mix elements and bosses of the three games in the series,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.21,0:03:05.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what is something really cool, because it brings some surprises for those who played very much the original games on the Mega Drive.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.15,0:03:11.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And just as in version 4.0, there is the option to play with a computer-controlled sidekick,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.45,0:03:16.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that despite having a very agile artificial intelligence that helps a lot in times of struggle,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.43,0:03:20.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just gets kinda dumb in the final stages, losing many lives and continues.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.55,0:03:23.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you are a forever alone player,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.91,0:03:27.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you will surely need this help, because the game is quite difficult.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.83,0:03:43.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The graphics are sensational.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.66,0:03:48.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All the sprites of games in the series were reused, including those from the first Streets of Rage,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.79,0:03:53.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that received some finishing touches and enhancements to stay at the same level of other games.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.49,0:03:57.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are several really cool visual effects, like explosions, shadows,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.54,0:04:00.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,transparencies and even a simple reflection effect.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.04,0:04:03.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More enemies can appear on the screen at same time,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.37,0:04:05.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without any slowdowns happening or something.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.99,0:04:08.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of this without requiring a lot from the machine, eh.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.02,0:04:11.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The new scenarios are very creative,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.22,0:04:14.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even with some funny details, so to speak.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.13,0:04:18.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of these new scenarios have depth issues, in other words,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.83,0:04:21.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is confusing when you have to go through them,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.21,0:04:23.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we can still live with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.68,0:04:26.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is worth remembering that with the Blood option enabled,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.14,0:04:29.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the game gets more violent than any other Streets of Rage has been before,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.82,0:04:33.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with even Galsias and Donovans mutilated flying around.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.96,0:04:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not a Mortal Kombat, but…
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.32,0:04:38.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first death always surprises!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.36,0:04:49.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Along with these new scenarios, new challenges have been introduced during the game,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.26,0:04:51.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like this one that requires quick reflexes…
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.31,0:04:54.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or this weird stage where the character controls a speedboat.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.70,0:04:57.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this case, while the idea seems to be very good,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.59,0:05:00.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps the execution has not been that good, huh.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.43,0:05:03.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, this stretch of the game is still pretty fun,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.77,0:05:06.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's a totally unique surprise in this game
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.39,0:05:09.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is pretty much a mixture of what is best in the series.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.70,0:05:28.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who played the version 4 knows the great job done with the remixes of classic productions from uncle Yuzo Koshiro.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.64,0:05:31.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this case, the impossible happened:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.07,0:05:33.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they still managed to produce better remixes!
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.99,0:05:37.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Almost all the songs of the series had a new version,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.58,0:05:40.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there are even totally original compositions,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.48,0:05:42.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that owes nothing compared to the others.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.06,0:05:46.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is worth mentioning the work done on the songs of Streets of Rage 3,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.21,0:05:49.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that despite not being the favorite soundtrack of many people,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.23,0:05:54.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,surely the remixes managed to further improve the experimental work of uncle Koshiro,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.45,0:05:59.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, somehow, these new songs have a much more organic feel than the Mega Drive originals,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.68,0:06:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while still sounding as crazy as the originals.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.17,0:06:13.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Note: this song may turn individuals handicapped, as we can see by the video.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.84,0:06:17.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The sound of the game uses the SDL audio driver,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.64,0:06:21.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which allows 24 channels of simultaneous audio, in addition to music.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.10,0:06:24.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This means that the stages now have surround sound,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.07,0:06:25.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,various sound effects at the same time,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.69,0:06:28.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and better use of the stereo space.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.64,0:06:31.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I advise playing it with a hi-fi system connected at maximum volume,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.75,0:06:34.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to give neighbors a new meaning to the words "hard beat".
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.30,0:06:51.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In summary, Streets of Rage Remake is a wonderful surprise,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.09,0:06:55.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that every lover of old games, in other words, an old gamer, should play.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.19,0:07:00.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The game has several alternative routes, secret modes, customization, unlockable characters
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.90,0:07:05.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even a supposed editor of the whole game which I couldn't at least enable yet,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.51,0:07:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it already arouses a curiosity that generates countless hours of play due to the almost infinite replay factor.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.36,0:07:17.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Undoubtedly, Bomberlink and his team deserve congratulations for this excellent blend of continuation with tribute
Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.47,0:07:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Sega could never do in its current state, huh.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.44,0:07:26.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In times where people discuss whether it's worth paying for the original Mega Drive games,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.15,0:07:28.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a hint: download this one because it's free!
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.33,0:07:30.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Free download of the game\Nbombergames.net
