At some point later this year, fans of the classic beat ‘em up seriesStreets of Ragewill finally get a new entry inStreets of Rage 4. This title will build upon the foundation established by theStreets of Ragetrilogy, which released for theSega Genesisin the 1990s, and a recently-revealed trailer is now giving fans a look at a brand newStreets of Rage 4character as well the game’s co-op features.
The newStreets of Rage 4character is one Floyd Iraia, and it seems that he will pack quite a punch indeed. Utilizing cybernetic arms, which he received fromStreets of Rage 3’s Dr. Zan, Floyd has the longest reach of all of the playable characters in the game, and he can even use them to fire a laser. These offensive powers are balanced by the fact that Floyd is the title’s slowest character, both in terms of movement and health recovery, and that is something that players will certainly need to remain mindful of.
