"Freight Elevator" and Black BOx "Everybody Everybody" (Album Ver) "City Streets" and Techntronic's "Pump Up the Jam" The second is that Yuzo's sister was in charge of the character designs for the SOR games, which just goes to show you that greatness runs in the family.Īt the time Koshiro cites that he had been influenced by groups like Soul II Soul, Maxi Priest, Black Box and Caron Wheeler (who sang with Soul II soul on two of their biggest hits.) Here are some of the references between a few of SOR 1's tracks. If Wikipedia is to be believed, then there are at least five more, but I'll save that for a later post. Two interesting side notes: There are at least two notable video games that also sample James Brown's popular "Yeah Woo" soundbyte including the Street Fighter III (New Generation - Jazzy NYC),and the craptacular Action 52 for NES. In fact this was sampled from James Brown's "Funky Drummer" which along with "Funky President" and "Think" were highly sampled tracks that ultimately wound up on such dance hits as ROb Base and DJ EZ Rock's 1988 hit "It takes two" as well as tracks from Roxxane Sharte, Slick Rick, Fatman Scoop, Mariah Carey, EPMD Chub Rock and a few other artists. Notice the "ughn" in both the boss fight and the Mr X tracks? You probably think it's a random soundbyte, but I'm here to tell you otherwise. Of course you can pick and choose what type of dance music influenced the tracks of the first streets of Rage game. There is one notable track I would like to bring to your attention, reader. I called it "Music Love." I used it for all the Bare Knuckle Games." It was more a BASIC-style language at first, but I modified it to be something more like Assembly.
It's based on the NEC's basic program, but I modified it heavily. The original was called MML, Music Macro Language. " For Bare Knuckle specifically, I used the NEC PC-88 computer and an original programming language I developed myself. Here's a little bit about the programming he did in order to create the sound for the game. As both SOR covered many kind of dance musics, I figured out a new composing formula for SOR3, so called 'Automated Composing System' to create fast-beat techno like jungle" SOR1's style is like house music, and SOR2's one is like hard-core techno. And I took those essences into the sounds and programmed eagerly to recreate for SEGA Genesis. " in those days I used to go to many dance clubs and love to listen a lot of dance musics. In fact he was gathering inspiration from a rather familiar source. Koshiro already had an idea of what type of music he wanted to compose for the game that would ultimately be known as Streets of Rage. Over in Japan this new game would be called Bare Knuckle: Ikari No Tekken, but here we knew it by another name entirely. And The game itself expanded on the core arcade nature of previous games like Golden Axe. ok so that's basically the plot of every 90's low budget martial arts film that came out, but It was original for it's time. The premise - Three former police officers quit a corrupt police force and use their combined might and martial arts skill to take the streets back from a criminal organization.
A few years later Koshiro was set to work on a new game for Sega.
