#STREETS OF RAGE REMAKE SOUNDTRACK SERIES#

That's why early on in the development of Streets of Rage 4, Imbert realized that recreating the magic of the series meant assembling a roster of composers and contributors who would do right by the series' outsized musical ambitions. Its a game that has, against all odds, managed to gracefully revitalize yet another long slumbering franchise, one that, in its heyday, changed what many believed was possible with video game music. The result of over three years of development is this year's Streets of Rage 4. Things moved quickly, and before long, the team had a green light. 'I pitched the game to SEGA in Tokyo and they loved it,' he says. Imbert went back to LizardCube and started thinking about what a new Streets game might look like. The idea was to publish a new addition to Streets of Rage. The shock of something new was everywhere in Streets of Rage, the feeling of a freshly realized aesthetic rendered with startling precision and clarity.Д«ut Cyrille Imbert, CEO of Dotemu, was already dreaming of embarking on an even more ambitious, risky, and daring revival project. It was a game with an irrefutable style, a counter-cultural cool its grimy cityscapes were populated by leather-laced street punks, it was violent and unruly. In it, the player assumes the role of an ex-cop out to clean up the streets of a corrupt city. One of SEGA's biggest titles of that era was Streets of Rage, a beat-'em-up style game released for the Genesis console in 1991.

While Nintendo stuck to their family friendly 'games-for-all' aesthetic, SEGA put out video games that were thematically riskier and more mature. The other was SEGA, a brand known for its spiky hedgehog, sure, but also for signaling a specific kind of '90s cool that set itself against other video games of the time. One was Nintendo, whose ubiquitous Italian plumber was a household name. Axel Stone and friends return to clean up the streets once again in Streets of Rage 4.ДЄt the turn of the '90s, the attention of the video game industry was locked onto two major companies battling for the lion's share of a growing industry.
