Bloody Roar series apparently NOT making a comeback

I thought the series was dead. I was always kinda off and on with this series.

New Bloody Roar sequel, is in production! we'll post more soon!

#BloodyRoarProject2012 #BloodyRoar5 #BloodyRoar Read and Retweet!

The fighting game renaissance is in full swing, with massively successful titles still in the rear-view mirror, and highly anticipated fighters coming strong and steady in the near future and beyond. The soul still burns, or something, so it makes perfect sense for Hudson to announce the production of a new Bloody Roar title via Twitter.

No other concrete information is available as of yet, but the #BloodyRoarProject2012 and #BloodyRoar5 hashtags used in the tweet are implicit enough to get the rumor mill running at full till. Bloody Roar, if you'll recall, is the Tekken-esque 3D fighting series characterized by its transforming, anthropomorphized animal fighters, which has been dormant since 2003's Bloody Roar 4. Also dormant? Our ability to see, thanks to Hudson's blinding font colors.

Snap! I was just thinking about this game 2 days ago! Alice and Bakuryu ftw!!

**Aurara** · 2011-10-01 11:07

I love this game, alice was my girl, but...idk anymore. Played it so much in middle school <_<;

**Kaiseran** · 2011-10-01 11:12

I remember playing the first one when I was a kid. Fox was my favorite character....

Only to find out it was Kayo Police a year later....

**Lucavi** · 2011-10-01 13:10

OH SHIT OH SHIT! FUCK YES, LONG!!!

**Elcura** · 2011-10-01 13:42

Let's go Uriko! I like these games as a fun side thing, never got too serious with it.

And furries everywhere simultaneously cry in joy!

I can't remember anything about this game lol. Other then I use to play with the lion dude. Kind of makes me want a new Battle Arena Toshinden though, that game was fun as hell too.

**Rokku** · 2011-10-01 15:07

This is pretty cool. Used to play the old games with my younger brothers and shit, kind of neat to hear they're finally making another one.

Fucking this. Every other company has did a new iteration/reboot, Rare's turn is next. Shame it'd be 360-only.

I didn't. ;/

Granted I never played any entry in the series. Were the fighting mechanics decent, or was the game mainly hinged on that inner-beast gimmick?

As far as I can remember, mostly the second one. It was decent, but I'd hardly hold it up to the level of more polished fighters.

All I really remember about the last one in the series was some controversy about some eroge mode being left in accidentally on the first presses of the NA discs that was some hidden feature in the JP one. Can't remember exactly what it was, I just remember reading about it in EGM or something. The last one was pretty underwhelming, from what I remember.

Soo damn happy if this comes to pass. <3'd Bloody Roar 3. Xion all day baby.

**SilverBreeze** · 2011-10-01 17:21

Uriko <3

I dug out Primal Fury the other day and was playing through it. Was pretty psyched when I saw this thread title. Looking forward to it.

**Rokku** · 2011-10-01 17:54

I never actually played Primal Fury, wasn't even aware it was out there. Somehow I missed it between 3 and 4.

**Insanecyclone** · 2011-10-01 18:02

Platforms: 360 & PS3

More of a reboot with classics including Hans, Mitsuko, and Greg. Not much until they release more info.

**Sho** · 2011-10-01 18:57

Wow, what a huge fucking blast from the past.

**Yuffy~** · 2011-10-01 20:57

I played the first one a lot, it was very good back then but it got old very fast. The gameplay was rather flat past Bloody Roar 2.

**Souj** · 2011-10-01 21:31

I trying to remember... There was a guy with 2 forms. 1 was a regular looking penguin, and what was his alt? Was it the grey thing with the blades coming out of his arms?
