Carl Williams writes, “Streets of Rage 4 is a success story that had a lot of things going against it. For one, age. The last official Streets of Rage entry was the third one in 1994. In that time, Sega has released two consoles and become a third-party publisher. Sega also had at least one version of Streets of Rage in the works for the Sega Dreamcast. Fighting Force was originally going to be Streets of Rage 4. Disagreements over ports to non-Sega platforms killed that idea. Then factor in Sega not being behind this version.”
