I've just heard of this. GRIN, developers of various games incluiding Bionic Comando for digital platforms, Terminator Salvation or Wanted, closed down in 2009. But what has been just leaked is that in their Barcelona ( Spain) studio, they were working on several games who were cancelled when the studio closed down. One of them was a Streets of Rage remake, headed for digital platforms ( XBLA and PSN, I imagine), that SEGA had asked them to do.
Other cancelled games were a Strider reboot, some Final Fantasy game and a Silent Hill title...

There are some Streets of rage concept arts and screencaps, as there looks like there was a playable build made.

Ah snap! Someone from Sega Legal must have thought that that SORR fan game was infringing on this cancelled project, and preceded to asked BomberGames (name?) to take their project down!

The incredible co-incidence is that BomberLink of SoRR fame is based in...

Wait for it...

Barcelona!

That artwork of Axel and Blaze sure as hell looks like it was drawn by Bomberlink's team!

The fact that this will never come out completely ruins my day.

I dunno. I think the last thing we need is another instalment that might sully everything anterior by association. This stuff doesn't look too impressive. In fact, it looks like a fangame. A bad one!

So, are people thinking that about the only good fangame, SoRR, might have been cancelled for this? There lies a lesson whose irony risks obscuring its message. Or something.

Almost all games look like horrible fangames when they're early in development, and judging from the screenshots, this one looks so early I doubt they ever made more than one screen worth of gameplay... assuming there was any gameplay and not just a player and enemies that can only wander around and not attack.

Yeah, this game looks so early in development it could have been on the dreamcast. If it had more time, it may have been a good game.

Honestly, after playing GRIN's other reboot of a series "Bionic Commando" which came out in 2009 which was incredibly underrated yet amazing. I am pretty damn sure they could handle a Streets of Rage remake without any problems.

This game was cancelled on 2009, nothing to do with the C&D SORRV5 got.

Excellent point! I (and others) need to read more better. :v:

Edit: Then again, that doesn't make it certain that this had nothing to do with the C&D. It probably didn't; but it's possible that v5 was C&Dd because Sega had renewed the property, regardless of its cancellation (v4 probably flew under the radar because it came out before the remake was started).

Yes, basically, so maybe even if this remake is cancelled, we still might see a remake, they probably asked other developer to do one.

There may be some moves but so far, nothing we're aware of.
