"Bloody Roar 4 actually incorporates blood...?" , posted Tue 22 Jun 23:51

I was looking at Yugo's character movie on the Bloody Roar 4 website, when I noticed that one of his moves involves a ripping of the opponent's jugular -- in which a healthy amount of blood spurts out.

Now, I haven't actually been following this series religiously (I don't even own any of the titles yet) -- but isn't this the first time one of the Bloody Roar games actually incorporates blood? (Or did I miss something in previous games?)

From GameSpot's Bloody Roar 4 review:

Most of the returning characters look the same as ever, but one of the strangest new additions to this Bloody Roar is a blood effect, whereby certain moves will cause the character on the receiving end to gush Mortal Kombat-style blood. This must have earned Bloody Roar 4 its "M" for Mature rating, which seems rather ridiculous, actually. The "M" needlessly limits this game's already limited audience, as there's really no graphic violence to be found here--or at least nothing beyond what you can find in any other fighting game.

Well the move's not all that new, but the blood may have been removed from the North American releases. I forget; It's been a while since I've played the game.

Nah the US version has all the blood too... it's not just Yugo's move, they all produce a lot of blood. Nagi's beast drive creates a fountain of blood from the torso. The original Bloody Roar was pretty bloody... but then 2,3, and Primal Fury were not.

Oi... this is perhaps an indication that I need to start reading mainstream gaming news sites again. It was only in the past few weeks that I learned it existed -- and I had no idea it's been out here since November 2003.

Wait, does this include the arcade version, Beastorizer? (Were that and BR1 the same with different names, or were there enough differences that BR1 wasn't just a home port?) I don't remember any blood in Beastorizer -- or at least, not to the degree BR4 has it.

Actually, everyone tells me BR2 was the bloody one, with BR3 and Extreme/Primal Fury (Which I have played) both replaced the blood with sparks. Especially wierd when Bakuryu does some of his more violent moves.

Cats? I much prefer foxes.

I think it's a regional thing... I've only played the japanese version of Bloody Roar 2 and it has no blood, but maybe the US version does. The PSX port of the original Bloody Roar has lots of blood... but I've played the arcade version through emulation and yeah it's not bloody at all.
