AJ_-_808 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.usgamer.net/amp/beat-up-baddies-and-rescue-your-boyfriends-in-river-city-girls-this-september I'm honestly surprised no one jumped on this yet. Some role-reversal with the girls rescuing their boyfriends. I have a feeling this will bomb based off that concept alone, despite how well it may play or how good the story might be. The developer may be alienating a huge portion of their playerbase, but I hope I'm wrong. Aside from now probably wanting a 16bit River City remaster, what are your thoughts on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who actually lived during 1995 (I was roughly 15), this looks far too polished and smoothly animated to look like it came from mid-90s console gaming. Again, people underestimate just how primitive games from the 80s and 90s looked compared to today, and just how difficult it is to duplicate that look on a modern console. You can capture the essence of the style, but you can't quite duplicate it exactly without deliberately downgrading the hardware. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor_Hand Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Looks pretty good. I honestly like the whole spin on the concept. Will be nice to play the girls rescuing the boyfriends for once. From what I saw on the trailer, the gameplay looks like classic beat 'em up action with solid animation, a nice pixelated art style, annnnnndddd I like the girls, they're cute, so yeah, I'm sold. Also, it's being developed by WayForward Technologies and I absolutely adored their revival of Double Dragon with Double Dragon Neon on the PS3. Played that one to death. I noticed Arc Sys is involved as well, so this one is shaping out quite nicely already. Really interested in this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanetsuken Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Theme song is ass. But the game itself looks great, gonna get it for sure. Have a weakspot for games like this (especially being the progenitor of yakuza knowwhatimsayin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get the idea of making this low quality of game given the capabilities that are around these days. Maybe the Japanese are a strange bunch.

RedPage17 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I am planning on picking this up from LRG when it releases. Now someone needs to bring River City Ransom Underground to PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always made female protag stuff with cutesy aesthetic. their playerbase is prepped for that. weird take Game looks really good and prob will be since it's from the shantae boys. I'll get it eventually, prob on a sale tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
