Also I've been thinking and I feel that the messages in the phone in game also got really under used, it was used mainly used for story progression and tips for tricks and the only good use I saw on it on my playthrough was when Shine was taking me around the mall.
if anything it could have been a way to know more about characters by just having them send just random messages every now and then
I feel like that wouldve made the world feel more lived in and I think it would take less effort than the other stuff I mentioned before
*also thanks for all the comments, I've been reading all of them and honestly wasn't expecting such detailed discussion its great to see how deep the jsr/brcf and team reptile community is
Yeah tbh I was expectating with the messages something like persona 5, some funny interactions between tryce, bel and vinyl ngl, nothing too important but funny and interactive
I felt like the text messages were late on arrival. I accidentally learned a tech that benefited me in one chapter, but I got the text on it in another chapter where it was deemed inapplicable.
Agree'd. Loved the game, but I think having one special "trick" assigned to each character would have gone a long way at giving each of the characters a more unique presence.
yeah theres no point to switching characters aside from a surface level appearance change. having unique animations wouldve been so much better
100%
@@SpaceManNoHelmet As an animator in the field, getting One animation approved takes a while. And plus multiply rails grinding, air tricking and floor tricks by 3 for the three different trick buttons, TIMES the three different items, (skates, board and bmx). Therefor you have to make 27 different unique animations that also have to be REALLY short so that you're not locked to an animation for more than 2 seconds. All of this, for ONE character to have an all unique moveset. You get all these limits that a small team like team reptile does not have the budget or time, instead they made a solid base with really awesome anims for each. But, i 100% understand the frustration, so here's hoping all the love and support gives them more than enough resources and inspiration to make a continuation that has all of that and more
@@momo4081 oh wow thanks for commenting it’s nice to hear the perspective from a animator , also on the video I mentioned that even having the characters locked to using a single skate ( skate board only or bmx only) would’ve also helped the game since using a character u liked would make u use a skate u probably haven’t used much while playing and would’ve changed up the gameplay slightly
Also it makes sense for the main character to be able to use all 3 since he’s supposed to be the best or whatever and it’s kinda funny thinking that every character in the game has pro level experience in all 3 skates.
But as for the 27 unique animations I see how much effort that would take but maybe if anything 1 unique air trick or something at the least could’ve gone a long way.
@@SpaceManNoHelmetI disagree with this notion that the general playerbase would've wanted characters locked to a single move style because it would make it so that people's fav characters would be limited to riding on whatever it is they ride. I think it's cool that Team Reptile gave players the option to switch between any move style with their different characters, it's less limiting. People like options but not too many options. If Team Reptile took you advice on this, you would undoubtedly leave some players thinking "damn I really like Shine but I wish I could have her ride [insert move style]" Which is worse than the current alternative we have now
@@honeydew_dream that’s fair
valid points, hearing "incline" instead of inline is driving me kinda crazy tho lol
Yeaaa I noticed I also said it in my last bombrush video too lmao
You're absolutely right. I also feel like he game would have really benefitted from some more voice acting in the main story cutscenes, The story in BRC is much more front and centre than JSRF but aside from the occasional bark and "All city king" there's nothing. Even though most of JSRF's VO was just DJ professor K expositing at the player, it certainly helped keep the player engaged. Story cutscenes in BRC are just 5-10 minute moments of reading while I just want to get back to skating, with a bit of VO they would have been much more interesting.
One other problem i've got that ties in to the issue of every character being the same aside from appearance is that the dances are the same for each character. It would have been nice if one of the options in dance menu was just called "freestyle" or something, which would allow your character to do a dance animation unique to the character. Or alternatively, just playing unique dance animation as an idle animation just like in JSRF.
I agree with everything ur saying, even at the part in the game with the big twist I got a little confused by it cus of all the reading
Actually, if you idle the dance they do have a specific special little dance for each one
I get your points, my major criticism is that I've done everything in the game, all characters, all graffiti etc. I feel like the game could've benefited from something replayable (except for restarting the story) like a level creator or a way to reply Reds mind segments, a mission select or just races/re-battles with other crews post game
Just play through again, I've played through four times now, most of it is perfecting my tricks and finding new ways to traverse the spaces, as well as figuring out what combination of tricks on each style will play out to the music like I want. I found the best way to get quick tricks for fast songs is on the board, and for tricks that can cover multiple beats with one button, the BMX is best, the skates are overall well balanced but have the most repetitive looking tricks.
Just to make it clear in case it wasn't, I'm talking about how if you try and spam one trick while riding on a rail or the ground, there will be a delay between tricks at times and it won't always do a trick for every time you press the button, but you can seamlessly string tricks together if you can figure which tricks flow into each other or themselves without a obvious pause, it's tricky cause each style has a different feel to how the tricks string together. Matching quick seamless tricks to the music while traversing through the maps, is the replayability for me at least. (Also, tbh, not all games need to have replayability, a game can be played and end and still be an amazing and fulfilling experience, just look at early RE games)
Agreed. If they don't want to lock down characters to a specific ride, then have character stats and unique features for each style/vehicle. Unique Animations would help but i understand that would eat into development time
Each vehicle has specific obstacles in the world that can't be passed without them. The bikes are used to get into bike garages, the skateboard for fire hydrants, and the inlines for glass on the floor.
@@JG_Wentworthwhich is clever, I like that
That would alienate the casual crowd and it would end up as obscure as hover
Chapter 3 now and yeah I do think Team Reptile did bite a bit more than they could chew but only by a little, its a great game but its missing a lot of QoL features and a lot of things are not explained well, consistent, or implemented poorly such as reducing heat also being your only method to change colors or that to switch equipment you have to return back to the hideout.
I agree
I thought the game was ok in chapter 3 but now i love it and am almost at 100%. I think it ramped up drastically at chapter 4
@okuzhori Okay so I got on Chapter 4, and YES it did ramp up greatly even though it was already doing well, the mech boss was definitely a spectacle. Also the patch they dropped was great.
Not picks, not real issues. It's not missing features, it's a small independent game developer, not a AAA title from a large developer who has the resources to do everything you could want. It's a very casual friendly game and things are explained well, you just need to actually talk to the characters to understand how to take full advantage of the moveset, and if you never do you may struggle a bit or end up learning on your own which can be very rewarding. Not being able to change styles except at the hideout is fine cause you can just swap characters if you need a specific style, and the colors is a cosmetic thing most people swap to once and don't change up much, I swapped the color for each of my characters in my first run of the game only once or twice per character, and kept it on the ones I liked best.
There are real issues with the game, like glitches, and some weak boundaries (I broke out of bounds twice in my first playthrough, one time it was on accident and another it was intentional but way easier than I expected it to be) even had glitch on my third playthrough that nearly soft locked me, but tbh by that point i was trying to break the game. And even then it is a phenomenal game that was well made and balanced for a casual audience and they did a lot with what little resources they had compared to a company like sega.
Hell, there's a real compelling story, as simple as it is on the surface, they didn't have to do that, and the game would not have had as much of an impact if they just made another jet set game. They took the idea and made something that I feel truly pays homage to those classic titles without ripping them off or making something so different that it ends up becoming cluttered and confusing like hover was.
Totally agree. Once I realized there wasn't really a difference between characters or the different styles, I just stuck to Red and the skateboard.
There's also the music that feels really limited.
It didn't hit me until I reached the pyramid island cuz I was stuck there for a while, but hearing the tracks cycle through over and over got annoying, especially when I'd change locations.
And the boss music was just...not a vibe
Still friggin love the game tho and can't wait to see where updates and mods take it to
Agreed this game could use more music. Also the music it cycles through in Pyramid Island gets annoying fast.
My personal gripe is that post unlockable characters and dlc characters aren't in your hideout, it feels so empty knowing I have so many characters unlocked yet it feels deserted. Another is while in the hideout talking to the side characters let's you switch with them, but not the main story characters. An easy fix would to just add a checkerboard mat in the hideout to make customization a WHOLE LOT easier
Edit: another thing is when you change characters when your current one has a custom gear they revert back to the default vehicle color when you change back which just suck, with clothes they stay thank god but the vehicle's are annoying to where I feel collecting them pointless, you really have to stick with one character to make it work but I have at least three favorites I switch every so often
But there is a "checkerboard mat" in the hideout. It's called a Cypher btw.
@@Gam3rfreak1290 There wasn't originally. From what I've seen players say who played BRC when it first dropped, simple issues like that existed.
UPDATE: They’re adding a patch that makes the FRANKS able to change move styles so it’s gonna be even less unique 2:44
idk, having characters straight up be exclusive to a certain move style is restrictive more than anything, but i agree on the unique animations point
One thing that jsrf excels is the personality of each character. Everyone had their own animation or pose when doing tricks and had different skate designs.
I wish a jsrf remastered port would come out
I miss having a big guy like Combo, he was one of my favorites because of his uniqueness in body and movement and that he's carrying an old stereo xD
I hope the sequel evolves in a way like JSRF did compared to JSR.
They just need to focus on improving art, graphics, level and character design.
I get where you’re coming from, but I actually quite liked that everyone is the same. It means I didn’t have to compromise on choosing a character I like over a character with better stats. I always liked playing as Garam in the original JSR but his graffiti stats were rubbish so I had to switch to Yo-Yo in order to be able to get Jet ratings on every level. With BRC I don’t have to do that.
Maybe a good compromise would be you can unlock characters with unique attributes only after beating the story?
This game was so good it almost made me cry while I was playing it multiple times nothing has ever gave me the feel of JSRF like this game. Some things could be added but I don’t think anything needs to be changed. It was a beautiful game.
Almost made you cry? Interesting take.
@@morrisonminutes yeah I played it at such a young age that it was like the best media I’d ever consumed at the time for sure
@@morrisonminutessorry boss that was probably confusing I meant to say I played JSRF at a young age so the nostalgia this one somehow brought was amazing and the story was really good
Yeah, it feels like they chose customisation over unique animations.
I don't see this as a flaw personally, i would rather have the option to use any character with any vehicle
I'm not naive enough to think having both would be an option, we would be getting this game 3 years later (or stuck in development hell)
Definitely miss each character having a slightly unique move set and animation for their tricks. I used certain characters in JSR/JSRF because they had good style! It's the little things like that you don't notice until it's gone.
They really need to animate character faces a lot more, everyone's thousand yard stare really stifles the vibes the game is striving for.
Flesh Prince and Mesh are like the only people in the whole game who smile.
Videos and comments like this definitely highlight new fans. So whiny
@@JOLLYBALLZ Did you really think "this definitely highlights new fans" was a coherent statement before you typed it?
I mean thats just the art style, thats on purpose
I would agree with some of this, as a JSR and JSRF person who likes the games for its old mechanics and tricks/ move sets it made the game fun and challenging, BRCF for me honestly is fun, slick with some of the characters and can see that the developers of Team Reptile had some love to the games, but as person who played JSR and JSRF I can say that it lack challenge for me and is too laid-back with how the mechanics are in the game and repetitive of the move sets.
Plus, I have to agree with the move set JSRF and JSR each characters had different move set some have the same move set, but usually half of them have different move sets and stats that is why it was unique and challenging for each different GGs you use trying as them, playing as Roboy was frustrating to uses, but I got a hang of Roboy like weeks too understand his move set and stats and learning the OG JSR skate mechanics was challenging as well doing cool flips with the PC or Controller was difficult, but great that I got a hang of. Seeing BRCF is too laidback with the move sets with only only 25 tricks in the game, while JSRF I can not remember how many Tricks it had, but I only know it had a backwards inline skating tricks and a manual grind as well and for JSR I do not remember also due to it has been awhile since I have played the games just the tricks are to laidback and repetitive for BRCF.
Also, for the mechanics for the graffiti JSR beats the graffiti mechanic in BRCF and JSRF no doubt might be a hot take, but honestly makes since and has a challenge when messing up like moving the mouse or controller feels like you are actually painting the graffiti and if you mess up the pattern on the screen your score of the graffiti goes back down to 50 points meaning you messed up your perfect score of getting Jet and what made it also challenging was the cops running up on you and what makes it even more problematic is paying attention to how much time you have before the mission ends now JSRF made the graffiti mechanic challenging somewhat by just if you miss the graffiti spot you got to go back and do it again no time, but cops still chasing in a way that it is not to hard to defeat the cops. BRCF mid cops and enemies fighting the only challenging boss was the ending boss that was it and the freezing of the graffiti was a good concept I think, but honestly too wack and simple and not even challenging I almost thought I was getting gun down by the cops and this happen once that the cop shot me while doing a graffiti and that was it so I was just floating in the air waiting to see if any other cops was going to do something, but nope I was just floating the air. A good example that uses the graffiti and fighting mechanics would be Gettin Up challenges are difficult with the graffiti and fighting is quite balance here and their and the authorities and bosses is no play.
Furthermore, combos to easy as well like I could get multiple points by a minute and end up with a big number, camera control is a bit jank in BRCF, but it beats JSRF’s camera and I would say JSR, but not sure for JSR, music is great, but some tracks to repetitive and DJ Cybers transitions to another music is good, but only have 4 songs and repeats with a headache, levels okay not a big fan of Pyramid Island too yellow makes me think of the minions and really hated the stage like it’s okay not going to put it on F tier just too much yellow so C tier and millennial square good map, but too open in the middle should have added more AIs or more obstacles, but Like B for me and lastly the characters chill, odd and just good characters.
Furthermore, sure you can call me a Oldhead for this, but honestly each game has it’s moments with it pros and cons I am not saying BRCF is not a good game like I would not say that since it still is fun while playing the game and I really enjoy the art and the music of the game like it shows a lot of heart of how Team Reptile give respect to JSRF and JSR like it is there and hopefully Team Reptile keeps making games if there is another parter with BRCF I would be supportive of this team sure it’s a small team, but my gosh they knew some of the patterns of JSR and JSRF and just did their own thing and fits in the middle of JSR and JSRF I feel it’s like the middle child , JSRF is the youngest and JSR is like the Oldest for me in my opinion honestly I would like to know what places other people would put them.
TL;DR sorry for this being long.
i agree on the uniqueness factor
thankfully at least, if they don't do it it's likely modders will, but likely they might via community feedback?
there is a auto save feature but there's no indicator for it; i just wish they had a straight save game feature.
yeah i agree overall it’s a really good game but it lacks gameplay diversity. no matter who you unlock or what board you get the gameplay won’t change at all. it feels like there are so many choices you can make in this game that don’t change anything
It does auto save. What happened at the pyramids must have been a glitch of some kind cuz I haven't had that problem. I was also looking forward to more uniqueness too, but seeing as it's a smaller dev team and also how many times it was delayed I get why there isn't any variety with characters movements. I would like the ability to create mix tapes in the game tho, and also more photo storage for the phone camera
If anything I hope they add a visual indicator of it autosaving in the future
Multiple people had a save problem on this level, especially during the Rise quest where she asks to take pictures, the camera was bugged and we had to restart the game and cope with the fact our save was gone... (It was the Steam version for me I don't know about Switch)
The presentation on some of the aesthetics and animations on the characters really does feel copy pasted on all of them for the most part, but all in all the game is still fantastic in my eye. There's still big aspects of love and care put into this!
It literally is copy pasted, this was made by an indie dev studio, not Sega. Animations take thousands of hours to make and have fully polished, able to transition into it from any other animation in the game. Its a lot of work and someone has to be paid, indie dev teams cant afford to hire a full team of animators to work in tandem to give you AAA level animation variety. It was never in the original scope for the game.
They were working on this game for 3 years, im not saying they cant add other interesting things but individual animations for all the characters is an enormous ask, theyre not rockstar studios and new animations are 1000x harder to put in than say new levels or new character skins/voices. If they made a dlc pack with new movestyle animations id expect to pay for it because the money to pay the animators has to come from somewhere.
If the biggest complaint I have about the game is that, I just want MORE then I’m cool with that.
Here’s hoping they make some DLC and continue to build upon what they started with this first game by doing sequels and not abandoning it like SEGA did.
Seems to me like we are gonna be seeing a lot of games in this style in the near future especially with the SEGA JSR leak.
something i didnt really like is how open and empty some of the levels felt (the first and last especially)
100% agree on unique character limitations and prowesses. Heck, the universal moveset even runs counter to certain character designs. There’s a guy who has a jet pack that looks powerful but faces directly behind him, yet he rides a skateboard facing sideways, and the jet boost blows sideways from the actual exhaust! I am still gonna hype the game up and encourage purchasing, but I hope the devs can fix these issues. If not, I’ll support any molders who can step up to fix these jarring flaws in character animation.
Time to look up to modders
Maybe custom animations and new inputs to trigger em
I dont think it would have been worth the work. I like the way it is now because i can just switch up characters and movestyles without having to adjust.
That’s fair but at the same time the only reason to get a new character is because they look cool and that’s just about it, and with some characters you need to do high score challenges to get them it seems kinda pointless when they end up sharing the same animations without uniqueness besides the voice lines really imo
Nice video. To get the most out of the game, I recommend two play throughs. The first time you’re going to be mostly exploring and figuring out each map, how to combo high.. where each changing booth is…and the second play through you feel like a boss… really helps keep the momentum and pacing of the story imo. But man this game felt like a new Dreamcast game 20+ years in the future. I loved it so much. Thank you team reptile 😢
Anybody else noticed that the gameplay camera angle would disorient if you played around with the analog during a cutscene?
Yeah i was very disappointed when i realized all the characters played the same and had the same animations. I know that making everyone have different animations across bike, skates and board would have been difficult, but at least give them a unique flavor for their default styles.
I hope that if they make BRC2 they at least give characters different stats
They need to add multiplayer
The lack of adaptive music is the biggest killer. Playing for any reasonable length of time and the music gets old very quick.
bubububuut got my hairs dun got my nails dun
I think the game is an objective upgrade to Jet Grind Radio but kinda on par with JSRF. BRC is more mechanically complex while freeing, but JSRF's level design feels more cozy and purposeful + every character felt diverse and I felt more inclined to unlock them all. Weirdly enough I miss the velocity going up ramps or satellite dishes and the wall rides feel much more immediate and better, but if I pick up JSRF again I know I'll miss the corner leaning and not being tied to a rail in order to maintain a combo. I love this game and I would give anything for a sequel where they improve upon this stuff (or at least a Studio Trigger animation)
I agree, the animations got stale, i wish they wouldve done more on that end. Loved the game ❤
I agree that the characters could have had unique move sets. I also feel like the auto-save was a blessing and a curse. I didn't have to worry about the idea of saving, but it bit me in the rear when I was stumped on a crew battle that I no longer wanted to tack on at the moment. Going back to the game after taking a break from it forced me to go through that crew battle until I had beat it. It forced the progression.
Different / unique boost tricks per character would be nice, not in terms of strict animation but with utility; some characters could have farther aerial boost tricks, or they could give more momentum, or maybe some characters get unique boost tricks in circumstances where other characters cant, i.e. wall boost tricks, unique manual boost tricks, etc
i love this game but there are some features I think we definitely need. unique animations, a saving feature, more things for the phone like a percentage display and more features for the music app like looping, and adding everyone in my crew to the hideout.
Ok, I get what you mean, but can we all agree that... condensed milk by cyber milk chan is literally the best song in the game?
Literally
i LOOOOVED this game, but I wish the various gangs were more unique kind of like in JSRF. with their Flag Battles, Races, Tagging. In BCR it kinda felt repetitive. I also hope the developers find a way to give us a Practice Mode like in JSRF, where we can use the unlocked characters and race in different maps. All in all tho, this game is amazing and I immediately played it again after the first completion, but yeah, a bit more personal moves to the characters and gangs would've been awesome
Great video but honestly I think all the characters having unique stats would go a long way at making them feel more unique and satisfying to unlock.
i was hoping for more customization without mods + custom tricks .
but im hopeful for the mod scene to grow.
Just finished the game and have to say I wished each vehicle had its own stats or perks other than the basic situational ones, for instance, bike having a combo multiplier boost or skates taking up less boost when holding left trigger or something. Also the maps can sometimes feel like a pain to move around when trying to get to a specific district unless you fast travel.
I think the game benifited alot if all the characters would do their own things, i am absolutely benifiting all of your benifitions trough this video, i think developers should watch this video and benifit their game with changes that could benifit the process.
I don’t agree with characters having one specific mode of transportation, imagine you wanna play your favorite character JSR style but they’re locked to a bike or skateboard. Nah.
That’s valid, I say that cus it would change up the gameplay and u would probably be more inclined to try out different styles u probably wouldn’t more since once u got a favorite style u kinda stick with it in this game.
Or at least they had a main style and the others have the same animations
This is game is great but you really know could've been much better. So I'm hoping for a BRCF 2 where they can really polish the game and show the true potential.
Overall I think the issue I had playing the game was that it inherited many of the benefits and flaws of Jet Set Radio, without really fixing stuff outside of the platforming
What is not fixed? Its a mostly flawless game aside from a few small and silly glitches and some weak world boundaries.
Personally I don’t have too many changes I would want to make, however I do wish the skate colors affected the whole boot and not just the wheel attachment
The thing is you have to look at the pinnacle of "Skating Games" to understand what Bombrush Cyberfunk was truly trying to accomplish. In Tony Hawk games it was extremely easy to rack up a lot of points, speed, height,and momentum. If you weren't grinding a lot of time you'd be losing a lot of speed so feeling on the ground as slower is just the natural state of skating. Of course a flat ground is going to suck that's skatings biggest bane in general. Which is why ramps, rails, and obstacles give them more to do. In Tony Hawk games you had a large variety of moves to do but the main reason why that was the case is because you're not really rewarded for using the whole map. The only reason you ever went around on the map was to find Mission Objectives but for Tricks and Combos you could be curled up in the corner just looping on the same ramp and rail over and over and get easy high scores. Since Skaters had unique tricks and stats it made it so certain characters straight up couldn't do mission objectives which is why Tony Hawk is a game many played but never beat back in the day. It was very esoteric as to what the Objectives even meant let alone how to get there and to have certain moves and stats get in the way makes the character design an objective flaw. No character in your game shouldn't be able to meet the challenge because then it makes players feel like "They're bad at the game" when in reality the design was very much against the player in almost every single way. Before Reverts and Ramp Tricks got better grinding was the only consistent way to build score. There wasn't any multiplier for using a niche hard to use section of the map that would drastically chamge your score in a meaningful way. Just alternating between two grind rails was all you needed. Sure there was a few unique tricks here and there especially with "Specials" but there still needed to be a "game". So naturally despite all the characters and moves you'd still ultimately be playing the same game with Flip, Grap, Grinding, Liptricks, and Manuals. What also ended up happening too is that some moves were just naturally better than others. Some flips were much slower and as a result you'd get less Score due to less Mulitpliers. So it created a hierarchy of "good moves" vs "bad moves". So that made half your unlockable characters never really worth it unless it was a cameo like Wolverine, Darth Maul, or Iron Man. Even then those characters were kind of bad because of how unbalanced "Stats" were in Tony Hawk. So if you picked the wrong character you'd just straight up have a worse time and end up making very slow to no progession as you try to make their jank moveset and abysmal stats work. The only worth it character was the PC because you upgraded his Stats.
This is a hard pill to swallow but you want homogenization in your character choices. There's a long line of history in various genres where you want a consistent base level or nobody will have fun or click with it as easily. In Bombrush Cyberfunk you're more rewarded for your overall approach than the Tricks themselves. Now you're very heavily incentivized to use the entire map when you want a big Score. I'll use THP3 map as the ultimate example of why they're a severally outdated game. Up above would be this fairly hard to get to area and padt a metal door would be this crazy lightshow room with a bunch of twisting rails and perfect circle bowl. It's one of the worst places to skate lol. There's very few good spots in THP games where it felt consistently good to combo all the time. Once they hit in "Underground" that's when they added gimmicks like Offboard Timers, switching to bikes, and the obligatory vehicle sections. Tony Hawk is a far mote bloated game by comparison but that's why I think I'm a lot more fond of Cyberfunk after I just beat and now doing post-game clean up. There's certainly some negatives like how hard it can feel to switch area, costumes, and skating equipment at times but overall I think this is the best package any skating genre has come close to. I think the combat was actually pretty interesting especially compared to Tony Hawks combat. Yes Tony Hawk technically had an attack where you smack them with your skateboard but since NPCs don't get stunned or KO they just get up and attack you back anyways When this is your competition Cyberfunk is easily the best skating game but only due to the incompetence of the THP series.
@@tylercafe1260 I see your point but in your first paragraph u mentioned character stats in THP and that’s just something not in bombrush, u said some stats were bad so I could understand not having them in bombrush but that tanks the replay ability imo, each character is a reskin so no fun in trying to see which characters are better than others. Thx for your comment
Considering the game, I really did think that gameplay wise it's solid, it has a great system, great music and vibe. I 100% agree that it could use some more variety, in animations in tracks, I just feel that if you were to improve any of these the game would be better off for it. It feels like they made the base game, added the 2 dlc characters and then turned their attention elsewhere, almost forgetting they just made a game. Which I say KNOWING the game they made was a great one and I stand by that. It's just hard to not look at it and wish there could be more to it.
what dissapointed me the most when i played this game for the first time was that there's only 4 different moves that you can do, i would have loved a tony hawk type of moveset where you can have a different trick binded to for example arrow up + arrow left. and of course much more tricks that you can choose from. brc moveset just ends up feeling repetitive and boring
hard agree. there’s very little point to different characters, and with the world being empty + no unique stats, it’s sad to say but idk if the games worth the price, ESPECIALLY on console, since all the community buzz is around mods making the game more enjoyable. the graphics are the best part but after a while, you start to really feel the games shallowness.
0:56 All JSRF characters do the same moves and tricks, it felt different because they had different stats (not all of them though, Beat and Corn had the same stats, same with NT-3000 and YoYo). BRC characters all have the same stats, so they feel the same.
2:29 That was due to an autosave bug which they apparently patched (still pissed I lost 4 hours worth of gameplay thanks to that). Still would like manual saving though. Your game is supposed to save every time you do basically anything (get a graffiti design, tag something, talk to someone, etc.)
I will say JSRF characters share SOME spins but they do have unique animations here’s a video if u wanna look through it

JSRF will always be better than BRC. Some funny casuals said this game is better than JSRF 😂😂😂😂😂 so funny.
My biggest problem is admittedly a very nitpicky nitpick: The textures. Everything is made of tiles, it looks like Bathroom City
That's what I was thinking before but then I had a fun thought where as to the tricks they do might be the same but it's about how you bring your personality to the character based on your creativity for example Bel was said to always stay on her phone so even though I can put the phone away I kept it out playing with her and only did backflips and kept skates on I feel like it's connected to jet set by not being connected to it in a sense of being somewhere else in the world having different lifestyles New Amsterdam does things different than Tokyo-to.
thinking about what u said about bel even something like her model always having the phone out could've been a nice touch without the menu showing, just small character things really
This game is so unrealistic. So it takes place in the Netherlands and none of the characters does weed?
this is true but this first game would have had so much more developments hell & effort into it if this were the case, i thing this is something we will see if we get a
BRC2
All ive been wanting is for the lethal league dlc to come to playstation, and felix to get his mask back.
It is an indie title so they probably couldn't make unique animations for each individual character, given how many there are
fair, but there is other smaller things that could've made things a little more unique like speed of characters and certain combo builders and so forth. it's just with the $40 price point and the actual content in the game not counting community mods just wished for a little more
I'm playing the physical Switch version and I keep getting errors, where it closes the game during progress
It will happen, at least it only crashes after a cut screen and when you open it back up it continues where you left off, nothing game breaking or annoying, just mildly inconvenient, if anything, those times it crashes and closed made me realize I should take a break 😆
Ones thing this game really needs is momentum
They shoulda added a scooter, woulda been dope
I love the game a thon but unique animations would have been amazing, I get why they didn't do it, having more than 20 characters would have made it reaaaaally time cobsuming for the devs.
As for the save feature, I really never had that problem, I stopped playing at the piramid after doing aome graffitis and when I came back the door was already oppened and the graffiti's where all were I made them.
My greatest issue is this game was 40€ and didn't even give me the ps5 version for free... I gave full price to Team Reptile for a 20 hour game and i can't even replay it without re-buying it. Greedy move from the guys
Litte addendum: I agree with you with the momentum stuff, you are so effin slow, why did they do that 😢
Its not greedy I think they said they'll get it fixed
I think the main thing for me is definitely speed. I wish the base game was much faster. Also soap shoes…
Its still GOTY 2023 even if its below 10 outta 10
Mann i thought i was the only one.. The whole reason JSRF was great was bc every character had their own swag.. unique moves, dances, even the color of their trails from their skates had unique colors.. i like this game, but it just feels FLAT.. and when you're grinding in this game its so bland sounding and the characters are just silent the whole time on the rail.. i rlly hate that... lol
This game is the emperor with no clothes. People can't say it's a bad game because of what it represents; a nostalgic recreation of a bygone era. It's also sticking it to Sega for letting a favourite game franchise die. But it's OK to say the game is not good.
This game is a massive disappointment imo. IDK why so many people are like " it's a good but ... " just say it's ass who cares
The devs are obviously fans of JSR and it shows in the visual presentation of the game, but everything else from gameplay to level design is either boring or straight up bad
Idk, I loved the game and had 0 issues with it other than wishing for more content and character development but comparing it to any of the jet set games is unfair considering the time gap, and gap in fact that this was done by an independent development crew and not a AAA game studio. I think your issue with the save was a glitch btw, as every time I left the game it wouldn't undo a whole chapter of progress, it saved every time the little auto save icon came up, and closing the game during an auto save can corrupt data for any game.
Also I actually enjoy that you can swap styles, I think it would be weird if we were forced to have one style per character cause it would remove a decent amount of the customizability of the game.
Tbh this sounds more like small nitpicks than any real issues.
agree, sadly need to mod it for moves
Dw BRC 2 😌 the devs just needed to catch people’s attention
it would have been cool if each character had custom animations but limiting a character to only one type of wheel would have been more lame
Uhhh... im pretty sure it saves mid chapter. In fact I'm certain it does, I did it multiple times in my playthrough. The game autosaves often. I think you may either be mistaken or just experienced a rare glitch
If anything hoping for a visual indicator in the future
@@SpaceManNoHelmet thats fair, it tripped me out at first that there was no indicator
My biggest issue is not enough hideki naganuma songs
The game would not have benefited from having one choice of vehicle outside of the rival gangs. Theres no uniqueness imo in limiting what can be used by the roster.
If you want uniqueness then have them be better at certain vehicles in the shape of new tricks or building score faster by a certain amount.
I understand being better at certain vehicles but building score faster would be unfair cus of the score battles for every gang and high score building for post game stuff
The mechanics are actually fun and fluid to control unlike JSR. The story is actually pretty interesting. Is the campaign some gripping tale with 30 different interlocking story beats? No? But it doesn't need to be, the game doesn't take itself that seriously. It's not like the Last of Us or some shit.
The game is fun to play, creative, campy (which I find to be a good thing) with some room for crestive expression and a half-decent skill ceiling.
However. I do agree with most complaints in terms of specific gameplay elements that are missing or overall useless.
There is no point in swapping movesets besides some very minor differences and just aesthetics. No point in swapping characters either as there aren't character specific stats or movestyles. Personally, I find some characters designs interesting so I play as them. That's as far as it goes.
I think different characters should have different tricks, maybe they could move slower or faster, use less boost, jump higher, have more hp, etc.
We are missing a graffiti maker. That's alright I suppose but even games from over 20 years ago have that feature.
We are missing a multiplayer. Which, would be awesome to have considering how this game would benefit greatly from different multiplayer modes. Because it's easier to control, being more like a Tony Hawk game mixed in with the platformer genre, there are alot more things you can do in a "competitive" setting because you're not using tank controls.
I wish the game had more content and more elements for self expression. There is basically no point in playing the game past 100% compeltion except for gameplay purposes if you just want to dick around for a while or something.
In my opinion I wish they had online mode and balance meters from watching these videos it seems like it looks to easy to do combos if im wrong because I don't own the game correct me
I could see online high score battles being really fun but for combos the main thing is to get ur multiplier up so if u mess up it’s kinda gg but besides that it’s not hard
there's already a multiplayer mod
@@DeadMemeManwhat they said, I personally can't experience it since I'm on Switch. But from what I'm seeing it looks like a ton of fun
I was able to play as frank with other move styles
they updated it after this video
I was certainly expecting better but was disappointed that it was a watered down version of the JSR series. There's something that Smilebit nailed when it came to the characters and their moves. Even the world and background characters felt more alive. Being able to look in FPV helped me appreciate it more. They would place huge crowds of people specifically to make you feel like a rebel in the streets. There's not enough of that. I also didn't like most of the music in BRC. It's good but it doesn't get me PUMPED up like the games they are inspired by. I think they are also missing that important part, which is the narrator. It would hype you up before missions. Otherwise, the game can come across really dated and boring.
i wish you didn’t lose speed so fast too
Anyone wanna help a dad get some nostalgia with this steam code? 😊
All the characters being the same killed the drive to unlock everyone, the save system is bad, some areas are too large and empty, you should be able to set your own graffiti patterns, map and progress tracking needs rework, theres more but this didnt feel a jsr type game in the end, It feels like an alpha build
Also would have liked to see more distinct playstyles between the bike, skates, and skateboard by giving them specific abilities or tie them to the certain characters so you'd have to switch to them in order to access outside of the bike. Maybe skates could only grind certain rails and boost dash etc
music name?

Needs to be a live service game (constant updates)
It’s you saying incline instead of inline 😂😂😂
game is trash. time to hook up my original xbox
Game is better than JSR 1. Worse than JSRF in some regard but much better in other departments such as game mechanics and overall fluidity of movement/ various movestyles.
It's missing some individuality in the character department and maybe even in the tricks /individual customization department as well. The game is also too easy and could maybe benefit from a newgame+ with harder challenges and crew battles (different crew battle modes as well).
But the story is enjoyable, the levels are great, characters have great designs and interesting motivations, the different vehicles feel fun to controll, the platforming is enjoyable and there are good platforming challenges. The dream levels are awesome. There's a lot to enjoy about about game that sets it apart from JSR while also making it known where the inspiration lies.
I agree with you about the tricks. One of my favorite parts was unlocking a new character and seeing their moves. Also the different styles could use more unique things to them. Like skateboards could do lip tricks
Other than that I am really happy with BRC
