Streets of Rage 2 was is a favourite of mine but I recently played Final Fight and it feels like it borrowed a bit too much from that game, not sure how to feel about that

>>12574746>I recently played Final Fight and it feels like it borrowed a bit too much from that gameYes, and? What matters is the game being good. Sega took Capcom's ideas and made an even better game
nice blog postalso SOR2 Blaze is superior solely because of the pantyhose
>>12574760To me the way it was made matters just as much. Blind consumerism is not good for anyone in the long run. Needless to say I feel now that this game wasn't nearly as impressive as I once thought it was even if it's a good game
>>12574837So you've lost respect for Super Mario Bros after learning about Pac-Land?
>>12574830Bare Knuckle 2 Blaze even has panty shots
>>12574760I mean the BMU genre has some variety, but at the end of the day it's pretty straightforward. Go play Renegade/Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun and you'll see the foundation for like 80% of the elements of the BMU genre as a whole.

>>12574856It's the difference between these early takes on something that makes the effort count. SoR1 seemed like they were still trying to put their own spin on it but for the sequel it looks like they gave up and decided to use a template from another company's work as the base
>>12574746final fight was a ripoff of la bagarre on the PLATO system
>>12574746Of course they're going to borrow from Final Fight, it's a 10/10, home run in terms of storytelling, characters and setting for a game like this, on top of the grab mechanics and insane enemy clumpage.Every dev took a crack at copying Final Fight, Sega with SoR, Konami with Vendetta and later Violent Storm, Irem with Undercover Cops, and Rushing Beat by Jaleco.
