If have to revisit SoR2 again to do a comparison. But I can say that I agree with a bunch of the additions and changes they made to modernize the game. Is it as good as 2? I’m not sure yet. But from what I’ve played so far, I’m enjoying myself. |

Interesting breakdown of SoR4 and a run through of their engine they build it in. Very cool stuff if you're into the development side of things. |

I'm still unsure about this game, personally. When that youtube video juxtaposed SOR2 and SOR4 it kind of illustrates my unease with the new one. The hit boxes are way off and the characters are practically on top of each other before you can hit them. The enemies, oddly, are able to hit you from much further away and can often suck you into attacks while you're just swinging your fist into their face but not connecting. It feels like flash animation games I was playing on newgrounds 20 years ago. All those graphic flourishes are gee whiz but don't really add much to the game. I didn't really like their Wonderboy 3 remake much, either. You can instantly toggle between new and old graphics on that and I don't think much of that sprite artwork needed much updating. In fact, I'd say the dragon bosses look better on the 8bit version. :dunno |

Different strokes. I personally haven't really encounted the hit box issues you're mentioning, other than the knife guy having a hit collision on his back. which is just ridiculous. As for the flash animation games comment, I don't agree at all. This feels way tighter than those cheapy newground games. The fact that people are learning new tech for creative comboing shows that it's got more depth than what's on the surface. WB3 didn't do anything for me either. It was just a re-skinning of the original. Nothing more added. At least SoR4 actually improved on the gameplay by adding or changing things up. In 2020 I think this is acceptable for this genre. I don't expect a 2020 beat-em-up to feel like a 90's one. That's just not reasonable from a game design progression, or accessibility standpoint. There has to be some modernizations and i feel this game has done so in tasteful ways. :dunno |

The graphics still bother me. They aren't bad, they are just in the wrong style and not very detailed. It becomes more apparent when the old characters are unlocked and they have more detail than the newer ones. Mind you the newer ones are better animated, but I'd much rather have the jerkier old school animations with better graphics. |
