Why has this genre seemingly died a death? They were my favourite type of game back in the 8/16 bit era and even to this day I still pop Streets of Rage or Ninja Turtles in Time and have a blast. I'm aware of the Streets of Rage remake on PC but I'm talking console and current gen.
Every game these days is the same. First person, open world, set some years in the future, pickup quest/missions from NPCs and so on so forth. It's redundant.
I feel the best hope for the type of game I'm wanting would be an indie creation. The graphics don't have to be ultra realistic, infact they should be somewhat cartoony. All that matters is that it plays smoothly. Think Rayman Legends.
So basically take Streets of Rage. Improve the graphics and animations, add some more moves for variety (it doesn't need to go overboard and have the move set of Tekken though), the levels should be big and the environment interactive, perhaps the choice to take different routes, a levelling up system (maybe), plenty of different types of weapons, enemies and bosses and a bunch of difficulty settings. Local or online multiplayer. It'd be great.
Why is no one doing this?
