Are there any good MODERN Beat em up games?
Or is it dead?
>>339441595
Each time something interesting is made, its for local co-op only
It's pretty much dead.
Have you played Streets of Rage Remake?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWDEs434hA
both local and online coop
>>339441641
Or shit reviewers will bash it claiming beat em ups are dead and no one should play this fun game because I suck at it.
Castle Crashers
>>339441595
Double Dragon Neon was solild
and this >>339441963
>>339441880
The online is super fucking awesome too, fantastic implementation of rollback netcode and decent albeit currently pretty archaic lobby system.
>>339441595
I don't know if you like the MMO genre or if this is "modern" but I just got into DFO lately and it's fulfilled my need for beat em up style gameplay.
Final Fantasy XV
Mother Russia Bleeds looks pretty cool.
>>339442263
>an action rpg is a beat em up game
the remake of street of rage is pretty based
>>339442416
Why are you saying it's an RPG
>>339441595
Oh man, that game was my jam back when i was a little kid.
>>339442124
wait, it isn't out yet, is it?
>>339442482
except i called it an action rpg and not an rpg
>>339441595
Dragon Crown was the last i played
>>339442524
Its just a marketer
Thor (ds)
Castle Crashers
Batman the Brave and the Bold (wii and ds; different games)
Double Dragon Neon
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
>>339441641
fucking this. No wonder the genre is dead.
>>339442524
No.I backed the Kickstarter and get early builds.I also helped make the combo video.
>>339441595
People seem to like Bayonetta and those. If you mean RETRO styled beat em up games, there's probably some indie pixel shit on Steam.
>>339442662
leak or gtfo
Bayonetta was ok.
>>339441595
Its dead because retards will literally play the game button mashing.
Then complain that the game is repetitive.
>>339442697
>>339442727
Bayonetta is a character action game not a beat em up.
>>339441595
Devil May Cry games and their ilk are modern beat em ups desu
>>339442726
Nah.
>>339441595
How modern are we talking about?
Mk: Shaolin Monks was the bomb yo
>>339441595
It's dead jim.
Also you mean belt scrollers.
Also posting my favorite belt scroller.
>>339442817
Devil May Cry is character action not beat em up
Beat em ups were a mistake. Literally the worst genre of games there, second only to racing and righting games.
>>339442918
Opening a can of worms
It's basically dead Vanillaware are the only one that really put effort into making news beat em ups
>>339442918
>rooms filled with enemies
>you punch them until they're dead
>repeat until boss fight
>not a beat em up
Was Code of princess any good?
It looked promising
>>339443108
It was decent, but lagged horribly at times.
>>339443019
Character action is a subgenre of beatemup/hacknslash where the primary focus of combat isn't doing powerful moves to clear huge rooms of enemies, instead focusing on the newances and depths of the mechanics presented.
What you described, is beat em up, and not representative of DMC whatsoever.
>>339442918
>>339442807
They're basically the same thing.
We talking about Belt Scrollers?
What's your favorite Belt Scroller, /v/?
>>339441595
Dragon's Crown
Double Dragon Neon
and Scott Pilgrim, which you can't play anymore unless you never deleted it off your PSN
All of those are mega fun.
>>339443350
Belt scroller 5
>>339443392
Dont get double dragon neon for the pc
Latest patch has made it crash constantly
Everyones been trying to contact the devs and all they do is say "we didnt make the port, nothing we can do"
>>339443536
People need to contact Ubisoft and not WayForward.
>>339442896
>you mean belt scrollers
>>339443646
This problem has been going on for 5 months now
Its dead jim
>>339443802
That's a shame. I mean, at least the console versions work. It just sucks that Ubisoft lied about the online bro-op.
When does mother Russia bleeds come out?
There's still talkgr of a new God of War game coming out.
If you haven't already, you should play Dante's Inferno.
>>339443239
the only "difference" in a character-action game is that you have a more involved combo system. the gameflow is exactly the same
>go through level
>enemies appear and the game forces you to defeat them all before letting you progress
>repeat
it's a good and natural progression of the genre that we have complex combat mechanics, but it's still the same genre.
>>339443931
dong physics
Pretty much what other anons have said aka Double dragon Neon.
Play the game andHIGH FIVE ME
God hand 2 fucking when
>>339443931
*talks
>>339444041
never
>>339441880
When the fuck is this coming out? Literally the only KS game I'm hyped for, they've got until the end of June if they still want to make the Q2 time window.
And it's already June fucking 1st.
>>339444032
Why is DDN so good?
>we will never get a sequel to Anarchy Reigns
>>339444534
Because it's a labor of love by a dev that actually cares and not a soulless cash grab like 90% of sequels and reboots.
>>339444534
it gave some sweet unlockables too

Posting an overlooked beat-em-up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr-MteKbLPo
Came out at the end of the GBA's lifecycle and dual released from the DS simultaneously. But they were completely different games.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cL6qKUMMs&t=15s
>>339444994
This jam is solid as fuck. Replaying this level every time just to hear it.
DDN2 when? Did this game sell well?
The worst part is that some other tracks were supposed to be vocalized, but Virt couldn't find any singers who sounded like MJ.
Has anyone played this one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSIh0vj3sT8
It's more hack n slash I guess, but still fits the genre.
>>339445194
probably never going to see it or anything like it again. I have no idea how the sales were but at least we still have Virt making whatever comes up.
As for video games we want... I don't know. I never know.
>>339441595
Dead, but it's spirit lives on as 3rd person character action.
There are plenty of 3D beat em ups these days.
>>339445194
we might get neon2 next year since it Double dragon will be 30 next year
>>339446179
>3D beat em ups
absolutely disgusting.
>>339446697
You don't like any 3D Ninja Gaidens? Platinum games?
>>339446808
I'll play them sure, but I'm not very fond of them.
>>339442662
Hey, since you had a chance to play it, I only found out about this maybe last month and thought it looked pretty fucking rad. How does the boxer handle? He has that warp dash thing and he looks really fucking good. Part of my fascination with him is that I love playing as Mac in Smash.
>>339441641
You say that like it isn't the best thing.
>>339447220
He's kinda weird at the moment but pretty cool. The warp dash is actually his back attack so it's a little unusual to use, but it's basically to turn the tables on people. Overall though he ends up being one of the strongest characters because (once you unlock them) he has the longest combo strings which ends up being a big deal because there's a combo breaker mechanic but it only works against juggles. I like him, one of my favorite characters.
>>339447961
He sounds perfect.
>>339447790
Not everyone on /v/ has friends

>>339441641
The only way I can see modern beat em ups working is if they incorporate RPG elements like Castle Crashers did. Too many people will look at the genre as very plain without it.
>>339442951
