And one more thing, next time around, if you could try to make the police more involve in shoot out would be great in my opinion lol. I mean, it's not to see them around in scene sequences. But, it would be awesome to see them getting more involved in shoot outs than just seeing em standing around like statues.

metalnat, thanks for your kind words and review! I think that what you asked here is in Battle for Rio 2

Another small update for BFR1 (link in the first post)

v1.6:
- Added the missing Rio street sign to the street from the credits and to the pink district.
- Made the capoeira part easier

Another patch? lol
Take a break now, let me the time to play

Bug: at the end of the first scene, the CPU can not get over the police car.
The bug is only for 2 players mode with CPU friend.

Spoiler:

Push XX to call CPU partner.
Or whatever you have mapped for X-Moves.

I noticed this one some time ago. I consider it a SORR CPU friend bug, not a bug from the mod. I noticed that if you move around a bit the CPU friend ends in the right position and you can go to the next scene

Ok, done! Thank you.

A mod based in Rio de Janeiro? seems interesting

I downloaded this mod, i will play this ASAP

Same for your sequel.

I played the last version, still so good, there is a real specific ambience in this game and that's a strong point. Bravo for the capoeira part, it was missing, and good song choice for "Onde vai Caimã" (yes, I'm capoeirist ).
However, the end was strange, I was forwarded directyl to the title screen, without message or cutscene. Is it normal?

Nice to learn the name of the song! I only knew that it was from a capoeira roda in the boardwalk of the Copacabana beach You mean in stage 8? Was it in the middle of the fog/smoke? Then you took the wrong elevator which leads to the bad ending. Check my other mod Battle for Rio 2 which is the "cutscene" for it so you can continue from where you stopped

Hello, my friends! I finished a small video about the games BFR1 and 2 - with some details I never mentioned here about the first one.



It's in English but in case it's difficult to understand some parts, I plan to add subtitles tomorrow.

Okay, now that's something you don't see quite often. A full video documentary about BFR with concepts, betas, game footage (thanks for using my gameplay vids as a resource), real life references and even praise on them mods, hehe (not too humble, are you? )

That's something I have never seen before, great video, I love these behind the scenes things in movies and games, glad you decided to do this for a mod, that's true love on your work.

Glad that you liked it Just finished adding the English subtitles (the auto-generated version was shit), with translation for the Portuguese part at the end as well, the car chase.

Just found about this amazing documentary by Ellen Page exploring today's Rio. Funny with beautiful images, focused in the LGBT culture, shows the good and the bad things https://www.viceland.com/en_us/video/brazil/56a90e3f59b6e07a13d27d01

I'm definitely adding Ellen Page to BFR in a future update

Why don't go for a BFR3 instead? New scenes, new storyline, new setups. I'm rather sure Rio De Janeiro has lots of areas to be explored.

It's likely going to be one of the stages/cities of my next mod. Just found another nice documentary, this one about Rio's Batman, and a poor Batman (which I only learned about now) and the protests happening right now across the country. I will try to explore the batmen with Ellen Page and Ash  It can be watched here:

Wow, cool man! I was watching the video you linked about this mod, saying it was inspired by Way of The Warrior, feeling glad, thanks man! Just one note, I'm not Japanese, I'm Brazilian too, but I lived in Japan for about 5 years, then I decided to use my knowledge about the country in my mod! I will play your mod as a spiritual successor to the Way of the Warrior! Your work looks amazing, can't wait to try it!

Wow, has it been a while.

Unfortunately, I lost most my SORR data, except my save data and palettes, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do that "balancing patch."
Considering my non-existent reputation, I wouldn't be surprised if I spammed the levels with Garnet.

LOL man, I cannot believe you are Brazilian too! Are you Japanese descendant?

I hope you like the games. I'm currently slowly collecting resources for the next mod. Maybe we can team up someday to make a BFR3 or another brazilian inspired game?

Cheers!

I finished your mod. Impressive job, I like it! The graphics are excellent, the soundtrack is awesome, the mod is great.

I recently played your mod again for old time sake.  On thing I noticed was there were certain stages that acted as actual ingame cutscenes.  Whenever I push the start button in these scenes it would skip it like a normal cutscene, as opposed to just pausing the game.  I'm wondering.  How did you do that? I might do some tinkering and see if I can make a tutorial about that and I figured i'd ask where I can start to figure it all out.

The key is the empty files with filenames terminating with "_end"

I'll take a look at that in time.  I'll also be sure to credit you when I make the tutorial.  Thanks.
