What Is Streets of Rage Remake and How Do You Join Its Community?

Streets of Rage Remake (often shortened to SOR Remake or SorR) is a fan-made remake of the classic Streets of Rage beat 'em up trilogy, originally developed by Bombergames. The main place its community gathers today is the SorR Community forum at sorr.forumotion.net, a phpBB-based board with English and Spanish sections covering the remake itself, custom mods, and off-topic discussion. You can read most of it as a guest; registering (free) lets you post, reply, and follow updates.

What Streets of Rage Remake actually is

It is a fan project that rebuilds and expands the original Streets of Rage trilogy rather than an official Sega release. The community material references multiple versions, including V4 and V5 (SORRV4, SORRV5), which is the practical takeaway: when you read threads or look for downloads, version matters, because features, mods, and compatibility differ between them.

If you only want to understand what the game is, the English discussion board is the fastest orientation point. If you want to change or extend it, the modding board is where the activity is.

Where the community lives

The forum is organized into a small number of boards. Based on the current board listing:

Two things stand out. First, SoR Maker is the busiest section — modding, not general chat, is the core of this community. Second, the Spanish boards are much smaller, so if you post in Spanish you may wait longer for replies.

The forum also exposes a few shortcuts that are useful for newcomers:

• Search (with an Advanced Search option) — search by posts or topics.
• View unanswered posts — a quick way to find questions you could help with, or to check whether your own question has been asked before.
• Today's active topics and Today's top 20 posters — shows where current discussion is happening.
• Who is online — at the time of the listing, 5 users online (0 registered, 5 guests).

How to join and participate

1. Read first as a guest. Open the SorR (English) board to get oriented, and use Search before starting a new thread — with 377 topics in that board alone, many basic questions are already answered.
2. Register an account. The forum shows Register and Log in links. Registration is what unlocks posting; the site does not state any fee, so treat cost as unconfirmed rather than assuming it is free or paid.
3. Introduce your question in the right board. Remake questions go in SorR (English); mod questions go in SoR Maker. Posting a mod question in the general board is the most common way to get ignored.
4. Check the version you are asking about. State whether you mean V4 or V5, since answers often depend on it.
5. Verify your post went through. After submitting, use Today's active topics or your own post history to confirm it appears — new accounts on phpBB boards sometimes have their first posts held for moderation.

Common snags

• Language mismatch. The community is bilingual but not symmetric; English boards carry far more traffic.
• Dead links and old threads. The board shows posts dated across 2026, but older mod threads may point to hosts that no longer work. Check the last post date before following a download link.
• Guests can read, not write. If the reply box is missing, you are not logged in.
• Forum cookies. The board provides a "Delete the forum cookies" link; if login loops or you cannot stay signed in, that is the first thing to try.
