I&#8217;ve already bought it through Steam, installed it, and I just STILL don&#8217;t believe it. But it happened: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streets4rage.com\/\">Streets of Rage 4<\/a> is real and available now. I&#8217;m going to spend part of my weekend playing it (and <a href=\"http:\/\/beatdowncity.com\/\">Treachery in Beatdown City<\/a>, which I still need to play through). Here&#8217;s the site update:<\/p>\n<p><center><IMG SRC=\"https:\/\/scrollboss.illmosis.net\/promo\/gfxgen_2020-05-01_384x224.png\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"customsprites.php?g=sor\">Custom sprites: Streets of Rage<\/a>: New sprites: &#8216;Skate&#8217; Eddie Hunter (new sprites to replace the scratch-made ones done in 2011), Roo\/Victy, Antonio, Bongo (SoR1), Abadede (my 2017 sprite edited to have SoR1 gear), and the Streets of Rage cop. This finishes two things: the ENTIRE player and enemy list of Streets of Rage and all playable characters from the first 3 games.<\/p>\n<p>edit: 11:25 AM EST: Roo somehow hopped out of sprite folder while uploading files, but has returned safely to the gallery page (thanks for the alert, EddieMountaingoat!) I forgot Antonio&#8217;s tiny glasses, but they&#8217;re there now (thanks to spriter <A HREF=\"http:\/\/Zabuyaki.com\">@Zabuyaki<\/A> for the heads&#8217;up on Twitter). I also updated SoR custom gallery&#8217;s 200 x 100 pic with all the playable heroes from 1 through 3.<\/p>\n<p>All sprites have been added to the <a href=\"gfxgen_fightsize.php\">main GFX Image Generators<\/a>, along with that SoR 1 Pine Pot background I teased some time last year. Why&#8217;d I wait so long to put the background out there? Because I wanted to show it in the Streets of Rage 1 Sprite Showcase first!<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"350\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/atgcAUpTiIY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Long story short, I decided to start doing single game Showcases for a while and save the Showcade title for special episodes with more than one game (like last year&#8217;s episode 000). My current Showcase plan is to alternate between posting one all-new showcase (which I just did), then post an updated version of a showcase from episode 000 (which had Golden Axe, Final Fight, and Castlevania).<\/p>\n<p>edit 2020\/05\/04: the following things have been added:<br \/>\n&#8211; Sprites: police car sprites added to <A HREF=\"sprites.php?g=sor1\">SoR 1<\/A>, Victy and 48x48p portraits added to <A HREF=\"sprites.php?g=sor3\">SoR 3<\/A><br \/>\n<center><IMG SRC=\"promo\/gfxgen_2020-05-04_mvcending-sorstyle_demo1.png\"><\/center><br \/>\n&#8211; GFX Generators: the <a href=\"gfxgen_fightsize.php\">main GFX Image Generator<\/a> now has the SoR3 cinema look added to the MvC ending, and the SoR 3 16&#215;16 font (used in the &#8220;Group 384&#215;224 w\/ writing&#8221; screenstyle in the main generator) now has added palettes and the SoR3 8&#215;16 font was added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate the release of Sega&#8217;s long-awaited Streets of Rage 4, this update is full of tributes to the original trilogy!
