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

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

WWE writing notes I think is half the problem.

Simple, just do what AEW is doing.

Just, please more women’s matches than that.

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. store.steampowered.com/…/Bomb_Rush_Cyberfunk/

It’s a fantastic game and deserves some recognition.

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 11 Dec 2023 15:03 next collapse

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.

Fuck that, just play Marc Eckos Getting Up

Edgy? Is sonic gonna drop an N bomb?

smeg@feddit.uk on 11 Dec 2023 16:25 next collapse

As in bringing back the word “Nintendon’t”?

simple@lemm.ee on 11 Dec 2023 16:43 collapse

Well, they might give Shadow a gun again

AnonTwo@kbin.social on 11 Dec 2023 15:27 next collapse

If we've learned anything from the past, just give The Super Monkey Ball Monkey a gun

Feathercrown@lemmy.world on 11 Dec 2023 18:57 collapse

They should just replace all the reboot characters with Shadow the Hedgehog

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

Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social on 11 Dec 2023 19:56 collapse

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.

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

squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world on 11 Dec 2023 19:09 next collapse

I don’t care why they do it. I won’t say no to more Golden Axe.

Sega does what Nintendorders

detalferous@lemm.ee on 11 Dec 2023 19:24 collapse

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