What Is Streets of Rage Remake and Where Is Its Community?

Updated

Streets of Rage Remake is a fan-made remake of the classic Streets of Rage beat 'em up trilogy, and the SorR Community forums at sorr.forumotion.net are a long-running hub for discussing it and sharing custom mods. The forums are most useful if you want to talk about the remake, browse player-created content, or find other fans; they are not an official Sega or Bombergames channel, so treat them as a community space rather than a source of official downloads or support.

What Streets of Rage Remake Is

The original Streets of Rage games were Sega Genesis beat 'em ups. Streets of Rage Remake is a separate fan project that reworks that trilogy rather than an official Sega release. The community's own framing makes this clear: the English board describes itself as discussion of "the awesome remake of the classic beat 'em up trilogy."

That distinction matters for two practical reasons:

  • It is not the original Genesis games. If you want the 16-bit originals, the remake is a different thing built by fans.
  • It is not an official product page. The forum is a phpBB-style community, so announcements, files, and answers come from members rather than a publisher.

What the SorR Community Forums Cover

The forum index is organized by language and by purpose, which makes it easy to jump straight to the section you need.

Section What it's for
SorR (English) Discussion of the remake in English
SorR (Español) Discussion of the remake in Spanish
SoR Maker Custom mods and fan-created content
Off Topic (English) Anything not related to the remake
Off Topic (Español) Non-remake topics in Spanish

If your goal is modding or playing other people's mods, SoR Maker is the section to start with — it is the largest area on the board by post count. If you just want to talk about the remake itself, the English or Spanish SorR boards are the direct route.

How Active the Community Is

The board shows a substantial history rather than a fresh or abandoned one:

  • Roughly 19,300 total messages across the forums
  • About 1,649 registered users
  • The SoR Maker section alone accounts for over 7,300 posts
  • The English SorR board has over 4,400 posts

Activity is spread over time, with recent posts appearing across multiple sections. The "most users ever online" figure is far higher than typical daily traffic, so don't read it as current concurrency — it reflects a single past spike.

Practical Notes Before You Join

  • Registration is required to post. The board shows Register and Log in links, and browsing is possible without an account.
  • The forum uses cookies and provides a "delete the forum cookies" option, which is worth knowing if you have login or session problems.
  • Language matters. Pick the English or Spanish board depending on which you're comfortable writing in; the two are kept separate.
  • Mods live in SoR Maker. If you came looking for custom content, that's where to browse rather than the general discussion boards.

In short: use the SorR Community forums when you want fan discussion of Streets of Rage Remake or player-made mods, and look elsewhere for the original Genesis trilogy or official Sega material.
