Playing Streets of Rage 4 for the nth time, patiently waiting for the DLC to get a release date. Just saw the new video. Playable Shiva looks like an absolute blast! And although I didn't like Estel that much in the base game, her playable version looks pretty awesome, too.

I never had an issue with the whips in Portrait of Ruin.  They're generally a little weaker than whatever your strongest available sword is, but I always use a whip to make it more CVish.  If only the environments and BGMs in that game weren't so mediocre - the actual gameplay is pretty great.

I just wonder how revolution-centric the series will be and how much shoehorning will take place. With the first 3 seasons focusing a lot on the theme of religious and cult madness(for the lack of a better term) I don't think they picked Paris(in the time of a revolution no less) on a whim. And it's hard to guess how much characters they'll even retain from the games. I would like to see how they'd handle Orlox and Shaft, but with the way the writters meddle with the canon it's very hard to say.

But hey, we'll get animated Maria, so at least Waffle's gonna be all giddy.

Taking into consideration the fact that the new show will be set during the french revolution I think it's pretty likely Warren Ellis is still the writer if not a consultant for the show.

I wonder if there's going to be a noticeable improvement in the writing on account of the writer not being Warren Ellis.

Has Ellis not being involved been confirmed? If so, good riddance. The first CV series had its good points despite Ellis, not because of him, assuming his replacement isn't another edgelord I think a Netflix Rondo of Blood could *really* soar.

I hope so. I'm interested to see where the writing will go without  him.

They made an error in that tweet. Sam Deats made it clear Richter isn't Trevor's son.
