I had that song burned into my brain when I sleep like cod modern warfare soundtrack. That is probably because I retried it so many times on mania difficulty and got stuck on the elevator or keep losing all lives at half Max health at the end.
My husband and I play this together every weekend. Great way to unwind from the stress of the work-week. :) He picks Axel and I alternate between Blaze and Adam.
It’s so rare especially in these days, where a video game actually feels like a video game. This game is colorful, has all the right music, very simple and to the point, just flat out fun. It’s not often I replay games these days but this game just sucks me in. It wasn’t on my radar before but I’m glad I got a chance to play and experience this game.

@@tcaudiobooks737 Honestly you're right. I couldn't have been waiting all this time if you take my words at face value. However if you afford me some emotional license like the 140 odd upvoters did you'll see my point was really that this continuation was a long time coming, with monstrous expectations heaped on it, and I for one am happy to admit that I think they did a pretty darn good job with it.
After the developers uploaded the video about music of SOR4, so many people were worried that it was only gonna be dub step and ruin what could arguably be one of SOR's best features-- the soundtrack. Turns out they were just keeping all the great music from us. What a dangerous albeit satisfying way to keep us in suspense. I am beyond in love with the game. Feels like 26 years of waiting was worth it, and I hope they heavily consider revamping SOR into a new breed. An excuse to give us franchise favorite characters with more power, more levels, more gameplay... and above all... more music. Yuzo Koshiro... I hope you are smiling knowing you have musicians honoring your legacy and living up to some high ass expectations that we gamers created for them simply because you were the best.
And how awesome that you can switch between the original, 16 bit glory of a soundtrack at any moment, this music reminds me of some of the other levels from the older games.
When Streets of Rage 2 came out in late 1992 and my cousin got it in early 1993, the first thing we did when put the game onto the Genesis is we went straight to the options and listen to the music. We did the same with Streets of Rage 3 when it came out in the summer of 1994 and now before I play Streets of Rage 4, I need to listen to the soundtrack. So far so good, I really enjoying the music.
I agree. Deriviere knocked it out the park. So many memorable moments. The drop in The Stom Boat. Sickest build-up in the Do Joe and the most amazing transition in Rising Up. The soundtrack, gameplay and art style on their own are all amazing and complement each other so well !
The rush I got when They're Back began. Instantly back to my childhood grinding out SOR2 with my mom :) 20+ years later I bought it for her on her Switch and she's now logged 300 hours into it!
I'm ready for Streets of Rage 5 "The Clan of XYZ" Upd. Thanks for the likes) Listening 3rd time this epic album of the year. Every single track is fresh and cool.
The stoy maybe that mr y snd ms y will escape from jail and planing to take over the city again with really dangerouse plan to create really powerful robot to destory the city. Its just i guess but i hope they make a fifth streets of rage game
Honestly i never play streets of rage on the sega genesis but i like the series.Ps3 was the console i grow up with. Like call of duty black ops,little big planet,god of war. I still have ps3 and i miss those times.
@@Habanero420 neat. I grew up with regular Nintendo in the mid 90s, then Genesis shortly after. I was introduced to Streets of Rage through Sega Channel. It was an adapter cart that hooked the Genesis to the cable outlet in the late 90s. So I never purchased many physical games for the system since they were all on cable for years. Later N64 won me over and so on.. My newest system is XBOX360. So PS3 doesn't seem old to me yet. Speaking of Genesis PS3 and 360 the Genesis Collection has the 3 streets of rage games. That's what inspired me to go buy a Genesis again, Genesis Collection for PS3 and 360 is A+, reminds me of Sega Channel, except the games don't change every month lol
HappyConsoleGamer sometimes I don’t want to leave the stage cause of the music. But what about how the music changes during a stage or how literally the music waits for you to proceed in the stage? Madness! Sega fan heaven!
Downloaded the soundtrack on spotify and cant stop listening to Funky HQ and The Underground. Top notch music from one of my favorite beat em up series. Owned the originals on the genesis and bought them again on the xbox one. Absolutely loving this game!
Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima tracks are FIRE and tbh i'm really surprised how well other composers did, what a great OST! 53:27 is just awesome!
I love the gear shift from "They're Back" right into "The Streets" as soon as that car crashes. What a way to signify that, yes, this is the Streets of Rage you know and live but we do have some surprises in store for you.
From the very beginning of this I started crying! Streets of Rage has been my favorite video game series my whole life besides Street Fighter (SOR2 My fave) and being a die hard Sega Fan! Still the most beautiful music ever in a video game series! And this brings back all my happy memories as a teenager! I'm 44 now!
nice man, I'm a little bit younger but old enough to remember the genesis and NES being kings, and I was an NES kid so I didn't experience the SOR series until I messed around with emulators in high school. since then the soundtracks have been some of my favorite video game music ever, and made me appreciate beat em ups more in general.
The more I listen to the soundtrack, the more I love An Exhibition. It’s gotta be my favorite on the soundtrack and I feel it doesn’t get as much love as other tracks.
In a world where almost every modern game feels more like a movie than a game, where almost every classic title became so boring and overproduced, where everything is about better graphics, this game feels so 90's with no effort at all. It doesn't feel like if they tried to make a retro game, it just feels original, feels like if they just wanted to make a videogame in the way that it's meant to be. PS. I'm a SNES fan, never played a Sega before, so don't think I'm just having a SoR nostalgia
I use to play beat em ups with my brother all the time in the late 80's to mid 90's. Sadly he passed away very young, but this game makes me feel like he's there with me. Thanks for the great game!
I think 25 Years Ago 01:21:30 might be one of the most underrated tracks, since the official soundtrack only includes a fraction of what you hear in game. The full song shifts from an arcade-like sound to a full on rave beat as you get closer to the concert and that was pretty neat. The whole soundtrack is phenomenal though!
Streets of rage 4 has definately made an incredible comeback, I'm really enjoying playing it, the soundtracks, the game play, that haven't ruined anything, what a game
59:04 You can easily detect Yoko Shimomura's works like these a mile away thanks to her amazingly unique style. You could put it in a Mario & Luigi or Kingdom Hearts game and it wouldn't feel out of place.
Olivier Deriviere's tracks are phenomenal. Call the Cops, Funky HQ, Storm Boat, An Exhibition, and Rising Up (especially Rising Up) are classics. Koshiro and Kawashima still chipped in a few tracks, but damn Deriviere would be a good composer to hand the reigns of the series off to.
The OST for this game is ridiculously good. I never played the originals but this game feels exactly like how i would imagine an arcade beat em up would feel. As a side note: i wish all devs would be more ambitious with their OSTs. Doom, Ghostrunner and SoR4 all clearly focused on their OST and it sounds amazing and its far from forgettable
If you haven’t heard the original SoR soundtracks they are really good too; especially 1 & 2. Even for just being done on Sega genesis they blow away other games of that era.
Agreed 100% dude. A really good OST can make an already great game phenomenal. SoR4, Doom 2016 and Ghostrunner all very clearly understood that and have amazing soundtracks.
It took until my second playthrough for the soundtrack to really grab me, but once it did I think it stands up very well against the classic tunes from the old games.
Was my experience too! Have to give it to Deriviere, he's got a great mix of styles & moods here and his tracks are just as good if not better than those of YK and MK.
Same. I was underwhelmed at first, and then my second run I started hearing parts in the soundtrack that made me notice and think, "hey this part's pretty good" and by the third and fourth nights after playing there'd be tracks playing in my head. I definitely appreciate when music does that to me.
Motohiro Kawashima - Barbon is massively underrated. its definately a more subtle track but honestly almost every track is really growing on me the more times i play through.
I seriously can't stop listening to this soundtrack! Olivier absolutely blew this out of the water, and Koshiro-san and the others did a phenomenal job as well. This is an amazing game that lives up to the Streets of Rage legacy. Great job, Sega & Dotemu and thank you for giving us SOR4!
Amazing selection of tracks as always Streets of Rage music has been great.👍 Nice to see Yuzo Koshiro, Motohiro Kawashima do a few tracks and i had a feeling that Shiva theme was done by the great Yoko Shimomura. Olivier has done awesome tracks to especially the "Storm Boat".
You know the game is epic when you are listening to the soundtrack after playing the game! Takes me back to when my brother and sister and I played the very first SoR in the 90s. Every track is a banger!
Gotta say, these SEGA-brand releases are hitting me real good in a nostalgic way. First, Sonic Mania, then the Sega Genesis Mini, and now we have Streets of Rage 4? I feel like a little kid discovering video games again...
Sega had nothing to do with this game as far as I am concerned, or did very little to almost nothing in the project. This game was dev by Dotemu, Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games
lajeandom I looked that up just now and it seems you’re right. But you mean to tell me that a bunch of different companies can make official sequels from other properties just like that? I imagine they at least got some consent from Sega or something like that.
Sega is selling rights to these companies to create a sequel. License is still owned by sega, but these companies bought the right to create this one game. If they ever wanted to create a new one, they'd need to extend the contract. Same situation occured with sonic mania and panzer dragoon remake.
I’m not really a gamer. But being a kid back in the 90’s this was the game! For them to remake it. Add such brightness to it. And give us this masterpiece. It’s a very simple “beat ‘em up” game. I just love it. Such a classic brought back with such class
So many Samurai in here, this soundtrack is fire, you know we're slicing that like button. Seriously though just like the original games, this soundtrack takes the best of the most recent musical sounds and creates an awesome atmosphere, from classic sounding stuff, all the way to synthwave.. Synthwave in SoR.. Perfect. 😎 Composers did a fantastic job.
So ain't nobody gonna acknowledge how hard that commissioner track is??? I know it's hard to vibe to the track when he putting hands on you but it's definitely one of the best.
Some absolute bangers in this soundtrack, I love how the game modifies the soundtrack depending where you are in the game - Intro, They're back, The Streets, Storm Boat, Call the Cops, Funky HQ, Storm Boat, Rising up, Next of Kin showdown. Hard to know whether to punch or dance when playing this game
Olivier Deriviere delivered it. Such responsability tô work along with these musicians, and he did very well I'm keeping up at the very same level. I'm looking up for more of his work from now on. He is outstanding!
I'd personally say he exceeded all of the other musicians. I was really hyped when I saw this game had an all-star cast of composers from other properties I'm familiar with but for the most part, the only songs I come back to in this game are by Olivier. Kind of wish he did the whole soundtrack, and look forward to hearing what more he does.
Oliver did a really good job on the soundtrack, some parts of his compositions make me feel thats something yuzo koshiro would compose, even I dont have an idea if hes familiar with synthwave or something!
I was sceptical they could ever recreate the magic of Streets of Rage, but SOR4 is just so much fun, all you could ever hope from a modern take on the game. The main theme for the game is the perfect representation of what they have achieved here, thank you to those who made the game and the soundtrack!!!
Yes dawg. That whole level and theme got me so hype. The commisioners boss song is just the nail in the coffin. Superb soundtrack as well as the game too.
Some of my earliest and fondest memories are playing streets of rage with my dad. This game, and soundtrack are truly one of the greatest pleasures of my life. The creators really out did themselves here. At a loss for words. Thank you so much for this amazing game! 😭🙏❤️❤️
I am actively playing this game with my daughter. She loves it. And the fact that you can play as daughter and father certainly isn't a disadvantage either.

Turns out they were just keeping all the great music from us. What a dangerous albeit satisfying way to keep us in suspense. I am beyond in love with the game. Feels like 26 years of waiting was worth it, and I hope they heavily consider revamping SOR into a new breed. An excuse to give us franchise favorite characters with more power, more levels, more gameplay... and above all... more music.
Yuzo Koshiro... I hope you are smiling knowing you have musicians honoring your legacy and living up to some high ass expectations that we gamers created for them simply because you were the best.
Next up is the golden axe series, I hope
And how awesome that you can switch between the original, 16 bit glory of a soundtrack at any moment, this music reminds me of some of the other levels from the older games.
When Streets of Rage 2 came out in late 1992 and my cousin got it in early 1993, the first thing we did when put the game onto the Genesis is we went straight to the options and listen to the music. We did the same with Streets of Rage 3 when it came out in the summer of 1994 and now before I play Streets of Rage 4, I need to listen to the soundtrack. So far so good, I really enjoying the music.
Yeppppp
I like dance music because of SOR2, it was that good :)
I remember playing streets of rage 2, when it first came. Bloody hell that was a long time ago now
the SoR 1-3 OSTs really use the mixture of 1988 and 1981 sound chips well
58:22 when the Muy Thai fights pop out and flames circle you. Such a sick moment
My favorite part
Favorite game moment.
then u throw a cleaver at them 😆😆😆
I agree. Deriviere knocked it out the park. So many memorable moments. The drop in The Stom Boat. Sickest build-up in the Do Joe and the most amazing transition in Rising Up. The soundtrack, gameplay and art style on their own are all amazing and complement each other so well !
On Mania that shit was intense. They made you work to get to Shiva.
The rush I got when They're Back began. Instantly back to my childhood grinding out SOR2 with my mom :) 20+ years later I bought it for her on her Switch and she's now logged 300 hours into it!
I'm ready for Streets of Rage 5 "The Clan of XYZ"
Upd. Thanks for the likes) Listening 3rd time this epic album of the year. Every single track is fresh and cool.
The stoy maybe that mr y snd ms y will escape from jail and planing to take over the city again with really dangerouse plan to create really powerful robot to destory the city.
Its just i guess but i hope they make a fifth streets of rage game
They may need a 6 button to win.
Streets of Rage 5: Final fight, because it'll be against Clan Z :)
Honestly i never play streets of rage on the sega genesis but i like the series.Ps3 was the console i grow up with. Like call of duty black ops,little big planet,god of war. I still have ps3 and i miss those times.
@@Habanero420 neat. I grew up with regular Nintendo in the mid 90s, then Genesis shortly after. I was introduced to Streets of Rage through Sega Channel. It was an adapter cart that hooked the Genesis to the cable outlet in the late 90s. So I never purchased many physical games for the system since they were all on cable for years. Later N64 won me over and so on.. My newest system is XBOX360. So PS3 doesn't seem old to me yet. Speaking of Genesis PS3 and 360 the Genesis Collection has the 3 streets of rage games. That's what inspired me to go buy a Genesis again, Genesis Collection for PS3 and 360 is A+, reminds me of Sega Channel, except the games don't change every month lol
Olivier Deriviere has done amazing! Funky HQ 23:03
HappyConsoleGamer sometimes I don’t want to leave the stage cause of the music. But what about how the music changes during a stage or how literally the music waits for you to proceed in the stage? Madness! Sega fan heaven!
One of my faves for sure - wish the level was longer because of it. :)
Downloaded the soundtrack on spotify and cant stop listening to Funky HQ and The Underground. Top notch music from one of my favorite beat em up series. Owned the originals on the genesis and bought them again on the xbox one. Absolutely loving this game!
My absolute favorite track
Agreed! "An Exhibiition" at 01:08:04 is another absolutely brilliant track!
Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima tracks are FIRE and tbh i'm really surprised how well other composers did, what a great OST! 53:27 is just awesome!
Great mix between new and old school
Really glad to see SoR coming back , and like this 💪
- C'mon, select your character already!
- But this soundtrack is soooooooo goooooooooood...
I love the gear shift from "They're Back" right into "The Streets" as soon as that car crashes. What a way to signify that, yes, this is the Streets of Rage you know and live but we do have some surprises in store for you.
From the very beginning of this I started crying! Streets of Rage has been my favorite video game series my whole life besides Street Fighter (SOR2 My fave) and being a die hard Sega Fan! Still the most beautiful music ever in a video game series! And this brings back all my happy memories as a teenager! I'm 44 now!
YES! Did the same thing, and even remade SOR1 music
in a hardrock arrangement with my old band.
nice man, I'm a little bit younger but old enough to remember the genesis and NES being kings, and I was an NES kid so I didn't experience the SOR series until I messed around with emulators in high school. since then the soundtracks have been some of my favorite video game music ever, and made me appreciate beat em ups more in general.
The more I listen to the soundtrack, the more I love An Exhibition. It’s gotta be my favorite on the soundtrack and I feel it doesn’t get as much love as other tracks.
YES! Especially the transition at 1:09:18 . To die for
In a world where almost every modern game feels more like a movie than a game, where almost every classic title became so boring and overproduced, where everything is about better graphics, this game feels so 90's with no effort at all. It doesn't feel like if they tried to make a retro game, it just feels original, feels like if they just wanted to make a videogame in the way that it's meant to be.
PS. I'm a SNES fan, never played a Sega before, so don't think I'm just having a SoR nostalgia
There are lots of indies that don't fit that description...
@@juanche978 For example?
I'm telling you, the drop in "The Storm Boat" is the sickest thing in the whole game.
Hell yea. Shit really hypes you up the closer you get to the boss fight
32:19 to 33:25 Is my shit. But The Storm Boat caught my attention first on this game. Great Track
This track has Mother Russia Bleeds vibes
What do you mean by "the drop"? I don't listen to eloctronic music usually.
@@jsb7586 it usually means the climax or the exciting part
I use to play beat em ups with my brother all the time in the late 80's to mid 90's. Sadly he passed away very young, but this game makes me feel like he's there with me. Thanks for the great game!
Borg is very sorry to hear this, Borg hopes it doesn’t make you too sad. Borg wishes you and your brother the best. 👍🏾
@@urLocalTurd thanks Borg 😊
My brother is still with me but I know exactly what you mean bc we used to crush streets back in the early 90's. It's nice that you have that memory.
🙏🏻
48:20 This one is my favorite "on fire", when the guitar riff comes , wow brillant :)
Yeah, totally great track. And they managed to shove "Born to be wild" in there too :-)
I've got that track on repeat, it's so good!
The elevator tune 1:16:30 is something else i get goose bumps and the feels of destroying manz
Deadman Dredd yesssssssssssss
You sir have good taste in music!
That intro just instantly transport's you back to 92 😁
I think 25 Years Ago 01:21:30 might be one of the most underrated tracks, since the official soundtrack only includes a fraction of what you hear in game. The full song shifts from an arcade-like sound to a full on rave beat as you get closer to the concert and that was pretty neat. The whole soundtrack is phenomenal though!
Streets of rage 4 has definately made an incredible comeback, I'm really enjoying playing it, the soundtracks, the game play, that haven't ruined anything, what a game
59:04 You can easily detect Yoko Shimomura's works like these a mile away thanks to her amazingly unique style. You could put it in a Mario & Luigi or Kingdom Hearts game and it wouldn't feel out of place.
Solar Flare [Who likes uploading SSBU replays] I get big Final Fantasy vibes from this one.
loved her work in Parasite Eve
This Oliever dude just made my day. I loved all of his tracks from this game.
My expectations for this game's OST were high but holy shit did they deliver
Olivier Deriviere's tracks are phenomenal. Call the Cops, Funky HQ, Storm Boat, An Exhibition, and Rising Up (especially Rising Up) are classics. Koshiro and Kawashima still chipped in a few tracks, but damn Deriviere would be a good composer to hand the reigns of the series off to.
U forgot Chow time, it's sound so great. Olivier did a very good worl on SOR4 yeah.
@@enorielenatsu5404 I can see Olivier with his lip curled reviewing that track. It’s got such attitude 🗣
Olivier Deriviere's tracks are 90's funky Euro techno tracks i love it
what about the Beat of "the Underground"
Lift the ground is pretty freakin awesome too, he should’ve also done the final boss
The OST for this game is ridiculously good. I never played the originals but this game feels exactly like how i would imagine an arcade beat em up would feel.
As a side note: i wish all devs would be more ambitious with their OSTs. Doom, Ghostrunner and SoR4 all clearly focused on their OST and it sounds amazing and its far from forgettable
If you haven’t heard the original SoR soundtracks they are really good too; especially 1 & 2. Even for just being done on Sega genesis they blow away other games of that era.
@@jonathanb.814 I've never played the original SoR games, but i'll give the old soundtracks a listen.
Gustavo Zamborlini im a PC guy but i’ll still probably end up buying them at some point
Agreed 100% dude. A really good OST can make an already great game phenomenal. SoR4, Doom 2016 and Ghostrunner all very clearly understood that and have amazing soundtracks.
It took until my second playthrough for the soundtrack to really grab me, but once it did I think it stands up very well against the classic tunes from the old games.
That intro song is as 90s as it can get. Brings me back to rollerblading and super soakers
It just tells you this game is art
they did this perfect. they really took their time with this game and it shows
As a big fan of the first three, I'd like to say that this soundtrack pays great homage to it's predecessors. Very nice.
I agree. They did an excellent job.
Agreed
I think if you were more partial to the SoR 2 soundtrack you will be pleased but those like me who preferred SoR 1 will be left a little wanting.
@@neoneherefrom5836 this music poops on SOR1
is there any soundtrack thats a throwback to the first SoR?
I see everybody talking about everything else but 8:49
If a song can make me and others laugh cry and dance from nostalgia you know that’s a good song
I literally get on this game and let the start menu play for 15 minutes before I actually start playing
This is a creeper. 1st time through the game your like "meh this is alright I guess". After the 10th your like "this soundtrack is SIIICK!"
Was my experience too! Have to give it to Deriviere, he's got a great mix of styles & moods here and his tracks are just as good if not better than those of YK and MK.
Well said. It's so true
Totally happened to me too.
Same. I was underwhelmed at first, and then my second run I started hearing parts in the soundtrack that made me notice and think, "hey this part's pretty good" and by the third and fourth nights after playing there'd be tracks playing in my head. I definitely appreciate when music does that to me.
Word...
That Chinatown (chapter 6) level song was so nostalgic!
Obsessed with the 1:15:37 tune. That was Floyd's Trailer I believe. So dope!
Level 857 Gotcha!
I fuckin waited for the full version after i heard it from the trailer
That beat get me so damn hype
Yes, my favorite one.
My favorite too.
Level in the elevator ;)
Motohiro Kawashima - Barbon is massively underrated. its definately a more subtle track but honestly almost every track is really growing on me the more times i play through.
I seriously can't stop listening to this soundtrack! Olivier absolutely blew this out of the water, and Koshiro-san and the others did a phenomenal job as well. This is an amazing game that lives up to the Streets of Rage legacy. Great job, Sega & Dotemu and thank you for giving us SOR4!
Man at 21:15 when that beat changes up ...my god!! This soundtrack is damn sick!
Amazing selection of tracks as always Streets of Rage music has been great.👍
Nice to see Yuzo Koshiro, Motohiro Kawashima do a few tracks and i had a feeling that Shiva theme was done by the great Yoko Shimomura.
Olivier has done awesome tracks to especially the "Storm Boat".
The storm boat and the streets and next of a kin are my favorite tracks
The storm boat is amazing
It would be really hard to pick my favorites. I'm in love with this soundtrack.
John Knapp especially the second half!!! 😍😍
The stormboat SLAAAAAAPS
They go HARD!!
You know the game is epic when you are listening to the soundtrack after playing the game! Takes me back to when my brother and sister and I played the very first SoR in the 90s. Every track is a banger!
I was going to say "Shiva's Theme" sounded like it was from Kingdom Hearts, and then I saw the composer in the list. Now that makes sense. :')
Gotta say, these SEGA-brand releases are hitting me real good in a nostalgic way. First, Sonic Mania, then the Sega Genesis Mini, and now we have Streets of Rage 4? I feel like a little kid discovering video games again...
Same here!
Sega had nothing to do with this game as far as I am concerned, or did very little to almost nothing in the project. This game was dev by Dotemu, Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games
lajeandom I looked that up just now and it seems you’re right. But you mean to tell me that a bunch of different companies can make official sequels from other properties just like that? I imagine they at least got some consent from Sega or something like that.
Sega is selling rights to these companies to create a sequel. License is still owned by sega, but these companies bought the right to create this one game. If they ever wanted to create a new one, they'd need to extend the contract. Same situation occured with sonic mania and panzer dragoon remake.
I am!
Call the Cops is my favourite by far. I love how the beat syncs to the enemies opening the cell door!
0:00, 5:10, 8:49, 11:57, 16:50, 20:21 and 1:15:50 are my favorite songs from Streets of Rage 4
me this 20:21
My favorite part started at 1:45:25
Storm Boat has to have THE SICKEST main riff we've ever heard. Never want that sh*t to end.
I’m not really a gamer. But being a kid back in the 90’s this was the game! For them to remake it. Add such brightness to it. And give us this masterpiece. It’s a very simple “beat ‘em up” game. I just love it. Such a classic brought back with such class
20:44 ❤️❤️💕💕
LiL Scorp ❤️
So many Samurai in here, this soundtrack is fire, you know we're slicing that like button.
Seriously though just like the original games, this soundtrack takes the best of the most recent musical sounds and creates an awesome atmosphere, from classic sounding stuff, all the way to synthwave.. Synthwave in SoR.. Perfect. 😎
Composers did a fantastic job.
Right, when you fight the Y Twins together at the end. I was pleasantly surprised.
Sweet soundtrack for a sweet game.
Storm Boat my Favourite
One of my favorite games. I never expected to like it so much. I really hope there will be more DLC's or Streets 5.
There is a DLC. "Mr. X's Nightmare" brings survival mode, new moves, and makes Estel, Shiva and Max playable.
@@ofuturopolimata6961 I know but I want more.
The Storm Boat is a masterpiece! wOw, second comes Do Joe.
It’s that main melody! What a track.
Rising up is phenomenal
My favorite, next Call the Cops.
@@user-nq2bm1sg5m Yep!!
My two fave tracks aswell 😁😁
The storm boat song is my favorite!!!
Cant wait to play this game💪were 12 years old when s.o.r 2 was released
RISING UP, a masterpiece
So ain't nobody gonna acknowledge how hard that commissioner track is??? I know it's hard to vibe to the track when he putting hands on you but it's definitely one of the best.
Kujo 813 Yep!
My favourite boss theme on a triple draw, with Barbon and Mr. Y.
calling it now... 2020 COMEBACK GAME OF THE YEAR!!! (and a soundtrack to match its greatness)
32:19 I like this soundtrack (on the elevator)
This is 100% the best moment!!
The track on the elevator dose hit diffrent! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I'm addicted to at least three tracks lol
Carlos Pacheco chill or dont
🔥🔥🔥
Some absolute bangers in this soundtrack, I love how the game modifies the soundtrack depending where you are in the game - Intro, They're back, The Streets, Storm Boat, Call the Cops, Funky HQ, Storm Boat, Rising up, Next of Kin showdown. Hard to know whether to punch or dance when playing this game
1:15:36 That is some 80s/90s training montage music right there!
20:20 this has to be my favorite sound track! i love the beat
The beat just hit me a different type of way and i can't help but groove to it!
It really does hit different
True. Very underrated track from Olivier D.
The boss music sounds like a fusion of industrial and new jack swing. Interesting, fun combination.
One of the bests OST ever, absolutely amazing!
Yuzo Koshiro has done it again. 💖
Olivier Deriviere delivered it. Such responsability tô work along with these musicians, and he did very well I'm keeping up at the very same level. I'm looking up for more of his work from now on. He is outstanding!
I'd personally say he exceeded all of the other musicians. I was really hyped when I saw this game had an all-star cast of composers from other properties I'm familiar with but for the most part, the only songs I come back to in this game are by Olivier. Kind of wish he did the whole soundtrack, and look forward to hearing what more he does.
The whole "Rising Up" track is Beat-Em-Up music perfection.
@@thespaceman9163 spot on with that assessment, starts as BB then turns into a 90's Straight to VHS action cop movie, with distorted tracking and all.
Interesting. I really dislike that whole piece - too slow for me. I much prefer the house style like they're back or the skytrain music
Rising up is the best track for me and shocked Yuzo didn't compose that one.
It’s the catchiest tune out if the whole bunch. And the map it played in was perfect. Russian bathhouse brawl. You just can’t go wrong.
The bass make sme remind the second prince of persia games :)
Oliver did a really good job on the soundtrack, some parts of his compositions make me feel thats something yuzo koshiro would compose, even I dont have an idea if hes familiar with synthwave or something!
01:42:13 - Such a brilliant final boss theme from Koshiro!
They should've paid him to do the whole thing.
@@zedas1 I think Tee Lopes would've done a better job than Derivère for this soundtrack.
@@SlowLearner-z3h LOL don't make me laugh the best tracks from the game were actually made by Koshiro.
@Playa Fly Fan i'm actually listening to 08:49 and it isn't a Derivère track.
LOL
7 months later and I still love this soundtrack, absolutely amazing! I listen to it everyday
I was sceptical they could ever recreate the magic of Streets of Rage, but SOR4 is just so much fun, all you could ever hope from a modern take on the game. The main theme for the game is the perfect representation of what they have achieved here, thank you to those who made the game and the soundtrack!!!
I love call the cops. The way it kicks in when the prison cell opens up is cool.
Yes dawg. That whole level and theme got me so hype. The commisioners boss song is just the nail in the coffin. Superb soundtrack as well as the game too.
Bruh, the beat is serious. Donovan be in the prison cell like "Let us out of here we bout to mess yall up".
Hoping this starts a new wave of beat em up games
45:25. That heavy bass and slow beat. Can't top that track
You feel it too i see...
...YEATH! THE UNDERGROUNDS TRACK...IT'S A FAV NOW...
As a bass player, I always appreciate heavy bass and slow beats.
Some of my earliest and fondest memories are playing streets of rage with my dad.
This game, and soundtrack are truly one of the greatest pleasures of my life.
The creators really out did themselves here. At a loss for words. Thank you so much for this amazing game! 😭🙏❤️❤️
Took the words out of my mouth, very fond memories of playing this with my dad too, hopefully there could be a SOR5?
my boy
@@fstb5568 maybe in another 25 years lol
I am actively playing this game with my daughter. She loves it. And the fact that you can play as daughter and father certainly isn't a disadvantage either.
Call the Cops absolutely slaps. This soundtrack is incredible!
