  • Nostalgia strikes again - In addition to the 5 new characters, unlock and play your favorite pixelated characters from the previous Streets of Rage games such as Axel, Adam, Blaze, Skate, Max and many more with their own retro SFX in gorgeous HD hand-drawn environments. And for the full nostalgic experience, you will also be able to play with the music of the previous Streets of Rage games!
  • Outstanding hand-drawn visuals - With lush hand-drawn animations, new combat abilities, and fresh tracks from an amazing team of composers, Streets of Rage 4 is a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic action fans adore.
  • Epic line-up of legendary games composers - The Streets of Rage series is known for its electronic dance-influenced music around the world. Led by Olivier Derivière, the soundtrack of Streets of Rage 4 will be composed by an all-star ensemble of musical architects and talented rising stars.

Darkwood
Developer: Acid Wizard Studio
Publisher: Acid Wizard Studio
Release Date: Summer 2021

Darkwood provides a new perspective on survival horror. Scavenge and explore the rich, ever-changing free-roam world by day, then hunker down in your hideout and pray for the morning light.

Features:

  • Survival horror from a top-down perspective that is terrifying to play.
  • No hand-holding or quest markers. Test your skills and figure things out on your own!
  • By day, explore the randomly generated, ever-sinister woods, scavenge for materials, craft weapons, and discover new secrets.
  • By night, find shelter, create barricades, set up traps, and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark.
  • Gain skills and perks by extracting a strange essence from mutated fauna and flora and injecting it into your bloodstream. Watch out for unexpected consequences…
  • Make decisions that impact the world of Darkwood, its inhabitants, and the story you experience.
  • Meet eerie characters, learn their stories, and decide their fate. And remember - don’t trust anyone.
  • As nights go by, the lines between reality and nightmarish fantasies begin to blur. Are you ready to step into Darkwood?

Darkwood sounds... interesting!  I need to see some video footage. It could be amazing or meh.  So much possibility in the description!!  

 

Edit:  First trailer lookup I found was the live action one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meZDUUY4XFA

I am still just as confused, but if the game is anything like the trailer quality, I am already terrified and all in!

 

Edit 2:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWDnu8nqrw0 - Yep.. I'll take it!

Darkwood seems really atmospheric for a topdown game - a lot of use of sound. Has some great reviews...

Streets of Rage 4 is excellent. I played through that with my kids on Nintendo Switch. They laughed a lot when the metal arm dude Jax says, "I got bombs in my oms (arms)".

Really fun gameplay. I wish it had RPG elements too. But it is a great old school style beatemup. :slightly_smiling_face:

SOR4!!! Very very nice!! 

That added to Scott Pilgrim gives Stadia two very nice couch coop beat em ups!

As someone that used to live in PAL region, it was always Bare Knuckles to me. Calling it Streets of Rage just feels odd.

Time to entertain some nostalgia :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Aaaah Streets of Rage…. The memories of yesteryear and Sega MegaDrive (Genesis for my US brethren!) 

Been eyeing this up on PS Store since release but glad it’s coming to Stadia! I don’t know why but it makes more ‘sense’ on here?? Perhaps it’s that nostalgic behaviour of inserting the cartridge and turning my MegaDrive on and…. boom game loaded and playing within a minute. Kinda like Stadia is now. I wouldn’t have ever imagined back in the early 90’s  if someone had told me…..

“One day your gonna have a wireless controller that connects to an Ultra super computer via the internet to a ‘MegaDrive’ so powerful ya  don’t even have to put a cartridge in it”#MindBlown 

Thanks to the @StadiaTeam for still bringing us content and keeping the platform up and running. :thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

Already bought the crew 2 ultimate edition, how come there's a new version of it then? Is this the new way of going? Adding DLC and renaming it as a deluxe edition? Feels like Assasins greed to me.

Please fix key bindings on some games, like Division 2, since some have to rebind them after every start, sadly

Thank you in advance and best wishes
