Looks worse than the original.  It's a shame too- loved the original.

Looks good. It just needs to be faster.



I saw this, one thing that stands out to me is the over emphasis on cartooney effects. Makes combat flow look unfluid even though its well animated.

I prefer this over Streets of Rage 4.



It's definitely not for me.



Yeesh. I feel bad for the devs. It's getting hammered in the like/dislike ratio. And at the risk of piling it on, it doesn't look that good based on that short clip.

It would probably be getting less hate if it was a new IP.

It would but that would mean it wouldn't have that many people that know about it. More people that know about it means more people that could potentially hate/dislike it. Whether that dislike is deserved or not is another question entirely.

Really the only gripe I have is that the art style is off-putting, going for a more realistic look probably would've done it justice imo

Apparently Rash was added to killer instinct, didn't know. If they'd gone with that art style I think people would like it more.



Kinda looks like some old crappy flash game from 2004 or something. You know, when Newgrounds was still a thing.

I don't know, I don't want to judge too soon, I'll need to play it. But it really doesn't look too good.

In the old games.... when the characters morphed their bodies it looked natural.... like their skin would stretch out and be a green version of something.

Now fists turn into buzzsaws (metalic?) and wrecking balls (black?) and kitchen sinks (white?)..... its like they can transform not just there bodies by morphing size/shape, but even what materials they are made out of. Battletoads never was like this before. Doesnt seem true to the characters? or is it just me?

That cartoon-styled train transformation is the worst....

The artstyle and writeing dont really screen AA or AAA either.... this like a A level game.
