👊💥 Streets Of Rage 4 "The Music Men" 👊💥 #GameDev

"In a new video released by Dotemu, Yūzō Koshiro and fellow Streets of Rage composer Motohiro Kawashima detail their direction and goals in making an impactful, unforgettable score for Streets of Rage 4. 

Filmed earlier this year during BitSummit, the group discusses a range of subjects, from channelling the thumping club anthems fans loved in the original games to crafting sounds that weren’t heard in the previous entries."

Revealing that Yūzō Koshiro and studio Ancient pitched a sequel to Streets of Rage at one point, the video also candidly explores some of the internal pressures that the original Streets of Rage team was facing during development while directly competing with Capcom’s Street Fighter II, which at the time was being scored by Yoko Shimomura.
