Honestly, I think this is the best thing that came out of Ubi's conference.

Admittedly that's quite a low fucking bar.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Admittedly that's quite a low fucking bar.

I mean, it's Ubisoft. Expecting greatness from them is a failure within itself IMO.

 

[Garnox]

Another Winter is still one of my favorite tunes to this day, thanks to this game.

Might pick it up on PC.

 

[Enjay]

Best beat em 'up game ever. Hopefully they don't gouge too much more than it's original price of $15 ($10 base game + $5 dlc[which had included online coop.])

Eh, the weird voice acting and frames killed it for me. 5/10 for me.

River City Girls is also ridiculously overpriced for what it is.

 

[Spukc]

Game was fun i would care if physical release.
not from limited fun games.

but a normal release that is.

 

[TLZ]

Physical?

 

[Needlecrash]

Wow. Didn't expect Ubisoft to bring this back. Will definitely pick this up.

 

[jaysius]

It's more fun than the brawlers of recent release (DD Neon, Streets of Rage 4, Battletoads).

 

[sol_bad]

I remember this being really hard, like, I couldn't even finish the first stage.
Are there any secret gameplay tricks I'm missing?

 

[SpiceRacz]

This brings me back to a time when Anamanaguchi actually made good music.

 

[Bakkus]

Hated the movie. This has always looked like a low rent Castle Crashers to me, but I wanna give it a try, still.

 

[boutrosinit]

This is the best news. I love this game.

 

[linkroi]

Oh !!! Scott Pilgrim was one of those games who never had a pc release version, so i'm glad to read that a proper pc version will be available anytime soon ! I was planning to play it with a friend someday on rpcs3 but this is even better !

Get coins and level up. It has a bit of an RPG like mechanic to it. other then that it’s just “Git Gud”

I haven't played it for over a year or so but can you level up mid stage or only between stages?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

It was delisted eon's ago (well...in video game time I guess) and people have pissed and moaned about that incessantly. Cool that it is getting a re-release though. Also, play Double Dragon Neon.

I bought DD Neon, but unfortunately it runs like shit on PC. Definitely going to pick this up on Steam, though.

Grind. You just need to grind money to buy stats. The game is never autopilot easy, but fully decked out its significantly easier to get far on one life. I think you can level up in shops within the stages themselves, but its been a long time. Also, pay off the debt when you have the chance lol.

 

[poodaddy]

Yeah the game isn't that great. At first I loved it, the graphics and OST but the gameplay is rather average and in the beginning you can't do shit. Had to grind quite a bit for it to become fun. There wasn't even co-op IIRC. There are better beat em ups out there. But the game has some excellent fan service.

There was absolutely coop, my wife, daughter and I all played together pretty often on the PS3 version.

That totally sucks to hear. It was great in PS3. Totally wasn’t expecting it to be as awesome as it was! “I LOVE YOU BILLY!!!!”

 

[Ozzie666]

So it's a bit like River City Ransom?
Why is this game so popular because it was made unavailable?

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Can't stand that chiptunes style music.

I am guessing you were born in the early or mid 90s after the time of the NES.

 

[carlosrox]

I was born 85 and started with the NES when I was 3; I love NES music, when it's actually authentic.

This style is not it though.

It not being accurate is precisely why I don't like it.

See Mutant Mudds or The Messenger for similar faux NES music.

I hate chiptunes.

The OST works perfectly with the game though. You gotta trust me carlos. I actually saw these guys live 6/10 still better than country music.

Mid stage, have to use your coins at the store.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Hopefully there's a Steam release and not some Uplay/EGS fuckery.

 

[bronk]

I love the soundtrack! Cant wait to play this again.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[OnionSnake]

I see that it's up for preorder on the Ubisoft PC store, should I assume it's not coming out on Steam?

Edit: Also on the Humble store: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/...e-game-complete-edition?hmb_source=search_bar

 

[boutrosinit]

One of the best chip-tune-ish OSTs of all time IMO.

 

[Soodanim]

I played through this via PS+ on the PS3, and it’s one of those games I probably wouldn’t have touched otherwise but I ended up playing through it all.

Being a beat ‘em up got me in
Chiptunes kept me there
Level up mechanics gave it a longer life

Not sure how much I want to play it again, but I definitely enjoyed it. I might pick it up on PC, partially for FOMO and partially because it was fun.

Day one

 

[Miles708]

Limited Run is making that physical

[Fart Knight]

I tried River City Girls with GP and I dont like it (on your own) where as I loved Street Gangs on the NES. That, TMNT and Scott are my favourite beatmups.

I try and live minimally with no trinkets like this but man these extras are awesome. Especially the stickers

They're also doing a regular physical edition, that's what I usually go for in these cases

I go digital only, but definitely learned my lesson last time and will be buying this on PC lol

 

[Knightime_X]

I hope the XBO version is BC with Series X because I already own the 360 version.

Yeah digital only makes sense when on PC, and only on GOG or pirating (I'm sorry but that's the situation).
Having purchases linked to an account is just asking for trouble, gimme physical or gimme the .exe file.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Why wouldn't it be? All xb1 games work on series x|s

 

[KiteGr]

Just looks like a Double Dragon rip off

There is so much wrong in this little post.

Double Dragon is not the only beat-em-up, nether the original. The first beat em ups when they got their current recognizable form where the 1rst and 3rd Kunio-kun games, localized as "Renegade" and "River city ransom" in America. The origial creator of Kunio-Kun later went and did Double Dragon as a more serious Americanised version of the formula, and a truck load of other beat-em-ups followed in the 90s. Calling it a Double Dragon rip-off is like calling Rayman a Sonic rip-off.

Scott Pilgrim is an amazing 6 volume comic series about a useless teenager who falls for a girl and has to win the right to date her by defeating her 7 evil ex's. It references and parodies nerd culture at every corner while having a great story underneath. A live action movie was made in 2009 called "Scott Pilgrim vs the world" that condenses and often alters the comic, but otherwise it's a fantastic watch. The above game was made to coincide with the movie, but unlike the cheap licensed movie tie-in cash-grabs that where coming out at the time, this one was excellently made, paying homage to beat-em-ups of old (mainly "River City Ransom") and and video games in general, and seems to be closer to the comic.

One would expect that you'll know at least one of the above.

 

[K.S v2.0]

This was one of the games I set up RPCS3 to preserve. Glad its actually coming in an official capacity.

I don’t need a history lesson bro.
I read the entire series and thought it was very boring , I was being told how great it was and almost quit a few times but new I would get shit from people suggesting the series saying “ Bro ! You didn’t read the whole thing.”
I did and didn’t like it , the whole story is cringe especially Scott that comes across like a pedophile dating a underage high school girl .
It was not just my thing and I actually like DD games and had a blast playing them growing up.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

the whole story is cringe especially Scott that comes across like a pedophile

The only thing cringe here is using a word you don't know the definition of; knives is 17-18 in the series.

 

[Dr. Claus]

So hyped for this! Picking up the physical version on switch first thing I can. Still debating on getting the Collectors edition or regular.

Scott is a POS and I have no idea how he even got a girl in the first place. I also didn't like the story in either the comic or movie but the game is solid.

 

[Knightime_X]

Not all 360 games are BC with Series X.

.....nobody is saying it wasn't, but THIS GAME is not an x360 game, I dunno why you are so confused.

It's an Xbox 360 game but it's not an Xbox 360 game? k
You mean it's an Xbox 360 game ported to Xbox one.
We'll find out if it says I own the game or if it makes me pay again come the 13th.
