Great to hear, I'd expect nothing less from a Jet Set Radio remake.

If you’re looking for a new Jet Set Radio style game, make sure to check out the recently released indie project Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. They did a great job of capturing the JSR spirit while modernizing the controls and gameplay. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1353230/Bomb_Rush_Cyberfunk/

Absolutely. It makes me sad that there aren't many posts about this awesome game (at least on Lemmy; there were at least like three subreddits before I left the other site).

They even got Hideki Naganuma (who did the music for the first two JSR games) to do some music for BRC.

It's a fantastic game and deserves some recognition.

Fuck that, just play Marc Eckos Getting Up

So they're trying to redo the 'tude era.

After it worked so well for Sonic -_-

Unironically yes. Sonic 1 had 'tude: it was always part of the IP.

Sega were going mad with ideas during the Dreamcast era, so I welcome it back with open arms.

WWE is furiously writing notes on how

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

WWE writing notes I think is half the problem.

[-] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Simple, just do what AEW is doing.

Just, please more women's matches than that.

Edgy? Is sonic gonna drop an N bomb?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 18 points 1 year ago

As in bringing back the word "Nintendon't"?

[-] simple@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Well, they might give Shadow a gun again

I can't wait to play more JSRF. Haven't grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix

[-] detalferous@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Ahh yes, nothing is quite as edgy and avant garde as a classic

[-] Rayspekt@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I hope the Crazy Taxi reboot will be good, the original game is such a trip.

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I feel like it is hard to mess up the formula as long as it doesn't get too "modern gaming". I was playing my Dreamcast over Thanksgiving and really wanting a new Crazy Taxi and JSR so I was pumped at first when I saw this, but I've stopped believing in the hype for games a decade ago.
