      Yes and 20 mins later after playing the game seeing versum hill instantly reminded me of dogenzaka hill and brink terminal obviously reminds me of shibuya terminal. I got the absolute chills and I started getting nostalgia goosebumps followed up with me screaming internally. Something that I've never felt since when I was just a happy go lucky kid on the original xbox with that good good copy of jsrf. Honestly I felt like I was 10 again while playing. Happiest moment I've ever had

    I like the secrets being in the vending machines, it's fun to check and they add score to your combo.
    Also, shine was meant to be unlocked over time since she uses the dances you unlock over the course of the game.

      So there's actually 2 JSR games being worked on, one is a F2P live service game and another one is a single player remake of the first game but at the same time being a completely different game, think about it like Halo infinite, the multiplayer is free but is a separate program that you can get without buying the main game

    in combat, the fastest and imo most fun way of disposing of enemies is by doing a move, and then jumping right after, which will launch all enemies around you into the sky, after which you can spray them with a piece of graffitti which instantly knocks them out

Custom music, people are discovering how to figure out custom LEVELS, movement mods, so much good stuff already in LESS THAN A MONTH.

      Well, they're not adding more maps, but at the very least they are adding features that should've been in the game at the start and not need mods to put them in, like markers on your map to tell you where Taxi Signs and Toilet Stalls are, more controls for your tunes like shuffle and looping music, etc. However these are steps in the right direction. Maybe if we're lucky, Team Reptile will add some form of multiplayer like the mods have done.

    Its an underrated game with a very niche audience. I think the only way for it to get half the success it deserves is to make it available in Game Pass after fixing some of the bugs and maybe adding some minor QoL additions. Im sure JSR3 would be released if this becomes more popular.

    I love exploring spaces in a chill way, thinking a bit about where lines go, testing them a bit more seriously, and finally taking on a challenge. JSRF did a bit of this, but it feels like those challenges you unlock at the END of the game should become available in a space right after exploring it. These spaces also don't seem to get as inherently tedious to navigate as they sometimes do in JSRF, mainly talking about dropping into pits and getting poor respawns. (You can abuse those at times) It can be fine, take the final boss in JSRF, on your third time going up, you're SO much smoother than the 1st, and even if it's mostly boring trial-and-error, it feels good. Until the boss bugs out and makes you do like 3 more laps, but that aside.
    Similarly to my point about those post-game challenges, would've been great to have more than 50% of the characters before post-game. When you dealt with Poison Jam, I'd just make the character available if you also did the Rokkaku-dai Heights challenges.

      yep, Hover was poorly received. From my own experience with half the game; mechanics were decent, liked the way it handled multiplayer, but missions/quests sucked in general, forgetable music, generic style, and there was little to do on each map. Also the way it handled collectibles and inventory was bad, and felt intentionally designed to accomodate some scummy monetization system post-launch if the game did well.. a thing that actually happened to a bunch of games around the time of Hover's release.

  • @Jeka85
    @Jeka85 Рік тому +1

    I wanted to love this game as a JSRF fan but it has so many issues that I cannot look over.
    It looks worse visually than JSRF despite being developed for modern systems. The lighting and effects are worse. The levels are larger they're empty with few pedestrians, cars, and no destructible objects.
    The controls haven't improved much compared to JSRF. It has the same floaty feel when you jump and sometimes I miss landing on rails. Happens in both games, so BRC is not an improvement in this regard.
    The trick system is a nice addition but it doesn't have depth and is nowhere near as rewarding as doing tricks in THPS or SSX. You just mash the button and that gets old pretty quick. I liked turning on the rails though.
    Combat is pretty bad which can be said for the JSR and JSRF but in those games at least it was coherent with the rest of the game. You push the cops and tag them with paint and that's pretty much it. I also liked how cops slowed you down and hung on you, which made the encounters a bit more fun. Here the combat is underdeveloped and boring.
    The story and the characters are not very interesting and I would prefer Professor K's ramblings over cutscenes in BRC.
    I don't want to be overly critical of BRC because I can see the passion they put into this project but it feels undeveloped in a lot of ways and the best things are straight copy from JSR.

    No man, i loved the game, but you can't say it outgrew its roots.
    JSRF was way longer, had more content, more caracters, endgame content, chalenges, and soul than this one.
    It's a fan service game, a great one, but so short, so empty when you truly look at it, yeah three styles but no real gameplay differences, JSRF characters had stats that impacted your gameplay, and it was fun, deep, and rewarding to unlock one, here all have same stats, make no differnce and are pale copies of JSRF characters man, Yoyo being Red in every point apart from the moment he has his red machine head, Bel is gum, Thrice is Clutch, man i could go on for every one of them.
    Even the levels are pale copies ! in the same order, but having less than JSRF.
    No, it didn't outgrew nothing, it was just a fun small experience to give us a glimpse at what we could have gotten if SEGA didn't sit on such an awesome franchise.

Red could have made peace with the dead Felix and Faux and still been himself. Red should have become his own person since he literally had his own signature tag, which is personal to him. That part sucked a lot

      Gotta agree, I was so surprised that you couldn't even play as an uncanonically "Red Felix"

    I love the game, but its not perfect. There are many things the JSR games STILL do better than bombrush

      @@ivanalexandrinmatala3362 but the soul of the game just isnt there. at all. It could be the best playing game of all time, it would still feel like a hollow shell of JSRF.

      ​@@libidinousbear4563I really like how you worded this. Bomb rush mechanically is a better game, but Jet set radio just has a feeling to it that can't be replicated

      @@libidinousbear4563 Huge disagree. One of the only passion projects where you can see so much personality of the actual game and not a straight rip. I can very much distinguish BRC from JSR and in a positive way.
