Double Dragon: Neon (PSN, XBLA)

[Chux]

Nope. But it's hideous. Look at it.

While you didn't play it, I know what Korly and I played was either way early, or super buggy. We broke the debug console a few times. It seemed nice enough but the hits held no weight and the characters moved sluggishly.

[Korly]

Yeah, it was balls awful. I don't think the final version is going to be any good either.

[Chux]

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, but you're right.

[Joust Williams]

It looks like a worthy competitor for my gaming dollar.

I get what they're trying to do here - everything's so 80s it hurts. The animation looks nice enough as a 3D game, but the trade off is everything feels so floaty and slooooooooooow. Which, for a beat em up isn't a good thing.

At the very least, I look forward to downloading the soundtrack for free off the Internet.

Let me introduce you to my friend Virtua Fighter...

edit: I hope I made chux vibrate.

[Chux]

You mother fucker.

Edit: They could give the OST away for free.

At least the music updated well.

QFMFT. That's the one part of Neon I actually like.

IBTN about sluggish movement. What K&C have said about this one hardly makes me want to give it a chance. When walking, Billy & Jimmy seem like they're trudging through treacle. This is starting to seem like the PS2 Golden Axe remake, only with okay graphics, some corny elements I'd rather not see in a DD game (high-five! LAWL), and GREAT music.

Note to Sega: If for some reason you outsource an official Streets of Rage remake, DO NOT allow the developer to take it down this road.

I thought it was Bimmy and Jimmy.
