Hey everyone, yet again thanks for watching. I'll always appreciate the support. Originally, I wanted this close to the game's release but it got swapped around for others that I had in production. I know this doesn't go into absolutely everything about Bomb Rush (combat, story, minute details of music) but I really just wanted to talk about why I loved the game, and this video's already pretty big. Story and combat are two things I didn't have the strongest opinions on in BRC, and with music I'm sure there's someone out there way more musically adept to talk about that. Next video is gonna be a big one, it's been a while since I've looked at an RPG and this is a series that I've wanted to do for a while.
I'm still partial to the OG JSR, but this definitely sets itself apart from it. Like, I'd be in a slightly different mood for BRC than when I want JSR.
JSRFuture was definitely the balance. An amazing environment, funky jams, and a good balance of "quests" vs the exploration and secrets. BRC is hands down my favorite out of all of them just based on the aesthetics and soundtrack alone, the story twists just added so much more.
@@sourlab oh if we're going on our faves, BRC is my favorite hands down. The ost, aesthetics, etc, but we wouldn't have BRC without JSR/JSRF, and more specifically Hideki Naganuma
@@zephpanyanouvong7071 sadly I didn't really get to play jet set radio or tonyhawk alot , but I can absolutely say I 100% prefer brc ( not saying those 2 are had at all )
If ya'll fully finished the game and craving just a bit more, the game has quite the impressive modding community. Between custom songs, new graffitti, new chars (shoutouts to the Barbie, Scout, and MF DOOM mods), and most notably, Multiplayer complete with score battle modes, the community is only growin'
I definitely want to give the mods a go at some point. rn only one of my friend's owns it and he's got a stupid work schedule, but if more buy it during the holiday season maybe we'll do some multiplayer
@@NovaZoneTV take your time and have fun! a zombie horde variant of the versum along with a monster mash of new chars are also floating accross my radar, so keep an eye out for that 'un
Something very special I found with this game is just how much personality each character has. They’re all punks, but they’re all a different version of a punk. They all have mannerisms that make them feel distinct, and they all get a chance to show their lovable personalities. Tryce is the chillest dude I’ve seen in video game, Bel is bubbly and adorable, and even Red has a personality with him being an outgoing and determined dude who wants to get to the bottom of everything. The protagonist has a personality that’s awesome. You can really feel the skater punk vibe each of the characters show off.
As someone who hasn't even played Jet Set Radio. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk just looked like a fun old-school style game with its charm that definitely looked eye-candy to me and playing it now, it is one of my favorite games in recent memory due to the breeze of doing chain combos while collecting or completing stuff, but it doesn't feel so brain-dead because doing moves like hard cornering, manual, or boost makes maintaining the flow so gratifying. I miss this kind of simplicity of using your traversal movement as the main gameplay loop at its core which makes games like Marvel’s Spiderman games or Sonic Frontiers that have fun movement needlessly add stuff that halts the pacing that no matter how much I enjoy then, it still a pace breaker. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk doesn’t suffer from this because it knows its simplicity and therefore, the flow keeps going right to the end
The traversal and physics are leagues better than both Jet Set games, which people (both critics and players alike) have described as slow, heavy, clunky and very strange, particularly when performing certain jumps and wall runs(which isn't in any way, shape or form like real life inline skating/rollerblading, as the actual sport is very lightweight, fast and precise). Also helps that the timer is absent and there's no fall damage, only a fall timer which only occurs when you go out of bounds or fall into water (because like the Jet Set games and the Tony Hawk games, none of the playable characters can swim more than two nanometers without sinking like stones a la Claude, Crash, Vercetti and the average Inkling/Octoling). Also helps that my experience in the Burnout games enables me to move across the map without losing my score (excluding that bloody moving triple rail platform in Mataan, which always fucks me over because the railings can send me backwards or too short of the adjacent platform during a large score chain and it sucks balls...) PLUS, you can use the afterburner button to reset your manual gauge infinitely as long as you have enough fuel for your boost meter or if you are able to rotate the character downhill, then uphill on a slope using the analogue stick or the directional keys whilst performing a manual.
Something I found really special about BRC, as a dancer myself (I mainly do breaking, and I've taken a few classes for all of the styles in game), is that I was happy to see how well it was integrated into this game's world and aesthetic. It probably also helped that it ca the director's personal experience learning how to break and other styles in his youth.
brc is such a gem! i found it through multiple artists whose work was featured as graffiti. (very cool of team reptile) not sure how much attention its recieved across platforms but its not enough. also great vid!
I'm 30 and still have a pair of rollerblades, basically entirely because of Jet Set Radio. So I was overjoyed to see a spiritual successor. And it did not disappoint.
I've been waiting nearly a fucking year for someone to catch that. I say tons of words wrong because I'm stupid, and the one time I purposefully say one wrong no one says anything...
Jet Set is truly timeless, despite being a time capsule. Counter culture will ALWAYS exist, the fringe and the urban will be something that people want to gravitate to because it screams anti-authority, and allows for freedom of expression unlike anything else. To capture that so fully in video game form is so impressive, and I'm glad a new one is on the way. It's exciting.
I loved your points on dancing, the overall soundcloud vibe of the music, and pretty much everything else! This was def one of my top 3 games this year and waiting for it since 2020 was oh so worth it
"not a confusing idea if you live anywhere with a hill" this game will be very confusing to all people living in the normal old Amsterdam from the real world
JSR OG was my favorite game of all time, so when I first heard about Bomb Rush I was stoked. BRC has exceeded my expectations and is honestly my favorite game of all time now. The world, controls, characters, story, and the music are incredible imo. I played it on release date on steam and beat the game in a couple days. I told myself I wouldn't play it anymore for a while because I didn't want to burnout my love for it. Lol. I just started playing again last week and wow I'm even more impressed now. Such a great game from a indie studio. I don't know if they plan to make a sequel but I hope they do. We need more games like this. I'm going to checkout RKGK later this month, I hope they are able to deliver something comparable, because I can't get enough of this game genre.
This video inspired me to go back to 100% brc. Got DJ Cyber yesterday (winter skin is a w) and today I'm doing the pyramid with that weird spot in the back that holds like 1/3 of the place's graffiti
personally i loved the game and the only moments i felt were just bad, like horrible. were the fight against dj cyberhead (the first phase gives no hint on how youre supposed to beat him so you just end up running around until you get lucky and figure out you have to deflect the cds back. the second phase is probably the worst fight ive ever seen in gaming, he runs a singular loop around a narrow and comboless "arena" while throwing buggy and often times broken landmines directly in front of you), and the secret area in pyramid island, a weird out of place maze with cool secrets but nothing else
Tbh when I first play jet set radio I did NOT have a fun time the camera was bad, and the mission was kinda forced. But with bomb rush I can choose the pacing so I could be just skating for a hot min while doing vandalism and not lose speed.
JSRF was amazing, so happy we’re getting JSRe (It’s the remake at TGA.) I originally started with JSRF, then Cyberfunk, but I never got to play the original as my Xbox 360 got ringed.
I'm impressed you got every achievement. I had to stop playing the game trying to get the achievement where you have to play through the entire game without getting grabbed once by the police. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk felt much more fun to complete 100%
I used to have a pirated version of JSR on my Dreamcast that never worked. It was until I bought the original Xbox that it came with JSRF and Jesus Christ what a banger of a game. Playing BRC brought me so much joy and nostalgia, amazing game overall.
I'd definitely say to give all 3 a shot. Each of them have something to offer the other 2 don't, so even if you dislike 2 of them you might come out liking 1. OG JSR is $7 when it's not on sale, I'm sure BRC is gonna have sales around Black Friday, and Future is one of the few Xbox games I've tried with no major emulation problems.
BASED GOTH BEL ENJOYER After watching the JSR Influences segment, I am SO glad we're actually getting a new game now. Sega finally realized the dormant gold mine they had. Edit: As far as I can recall, the game never tells you about boost tricks. I found that out myself at around Pyramid Island, so... Better late than never, I guess?
I think, although I have no evidence of this, the World Ends with You games seem to take inspiration from Jet-Set Radio in terms of visual 3D artstyle and rebellious music that you'd expect some kids on the street with a boombox would be listening to. It might just be a coincidence, though.
There are aspects of JSR in TWNwY and NEOTWEwY, however, both games take more cues from Kingdom Hearts than anything else, since they share the same game director and lead illustrator (who is actually the same person, one Tetsuya Nomura, who is also the main character designer and co-story lead of Final Fantasy 7 and the greater anthology of the scenario of Planet Gaia and the city of Midgar as seen in both Advent Children, Crisis Core and the remakes of FFVII itself, the already available Remake and the upcoming sequel to FFVII REMAKE, FFVII REBIRTH).
@@DR3ADER1actually Nomura is more of a Producer for the series and the main character designer is Gen Kobayashi and the directors are three other devs not him. I like both series but KH and TWEWY have way too different styles of writing Nomura is one of my favorites devs but he really is credited/blamed for too much Square, probably because see the art first I guess. Kojima gets a similar praise for the Zone of the Enders series
21:27 Yeah Tryce will text you about it at some point in Millennium Mall, which makes sense considering how open the middle area is. Probably missed it because characters LOVE texting you important hints in the middle of missions involving combo scores 😅
Just came here to say, after beating the game, that going up stairs is easy af mate, you can switch gear mid manual, or the easier alternative to just jump and take it off, hold manual and spam boost trick, then after you climb the stairs, keep holding manual/slide until you see the animation, jump, take your gear on, and manual boost trick if you can't find some place to reset the combo, did the whole stair thing in Mataan first try man
Also, just to clarify, this isn't slander against you or anything like that, I definitely am not saying you play bad or you are wrong or something, I actually played the game bc of this video, just that it wasn't nearly as hard as you where selling here
Yeah that's on me. I think I put some text on screen about it but I do agree with you. When I played the game initially, I found it hard. And so I wrote that in. Then, while practicing well after doing voice over, I found it super easy. By the time I uploaded this video, I had no problems doing it. I even thought about revoicing that part, but decided against it. Mainly because I was far behind my self set schedule.
I already had my eyes on the game. But once GRRL announced Operator was getting included for the soundtrack I knew the game was going to be good. Reaching out to artists, both musical and visual, to create a definitive project those people would be incredibly excited about, shows they really put in the effort and it shows so much
29:32 I'm not judging you because I did the same thing xD and I loved playing this Game, the only flaw I would say it had was the one Graffiti spot that was bugged on the 3rd Level and maybe the length of the Story, it was a tad short for my Taste. What I also loved in JSRF and I felt was missing in BRCF was the Multiplayer Mode and the post game high score mini game that you could unlock by getting all souls in the area.
When playing the original Jet Set Radio. The controls aren't clunky. If anything slippery. But, it isn't hard to get used to, especially since there are very little moves. There is a jump, boost, move stick, and an action/camera reset button. Very simple to grasp. Jet set Radio Future is similar, but is a lot more responsive, it does not feel slippery like the first game. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I can't comment on as I haven't played it. But, I imagine it feels way better to play compared to the other games.
I’ve never played a game for four hours straight with the music blasting through my headset through every new area and vinyl I could get my hands on! This shit is fire son
My only genuine complaint with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the lack of an ongoing post-game score challenge. After you've recruited every rival gang member to your crew, the game no longer has any way to impose some type of limit on your combo. This makes playing to max out your personal high scores feel hollow, since without any specific time limit or goal to reach, you could just pop around collecting multipliers for a few minutes, then find a convenient closed loop and just mash the trick buttons until you get bored. All it really needs is the option to replay that final score challenge or some variation thereof. Put one of the oldheads in the spot where the rival used to be and have us try to reach the x-million points as fast as possible. Or challenge us to get the highest score we can in the full 300 seconds. Or give us a specific series of tricks/tags/enemies to hit while maintaining a combo and maxing your score within a time limit. Anything, really. The point is that without some way to force your combo to end, your current high score is just a measure of patience, not skill. The very minor addition of a perpetual post-game score challenge would change that, and really should have been in the game to begin with.
I wish there would be a content update and multiplayer support, a system to make your own character and buy clothes. A even bigger city and more funny stuff to do and a park editor or something so you can share creations
uuhhh.... you see... it's like. When you take a vinyl record. Which is disc shaped, like a frisbee.. and like, you uhhh. you push the disc REALLY hard. You make it smaller, like, ya know. you compact it. Turn it into a.... ya know, maybe it's staff shaped now. So it's a compacted disc. A disc that's now compacted. Totally exactly what I mean.
Not sure the exact spot, but probably CODE Bunny. An indie game I a did short video about right before this video came out. So I probably used the footage while it was still fresh in my mind/hadn't moved to my external drive yet.
I know this is not related to this video at all but I just watched your 3 hour breakdown of the kingdom hearts season all the way through and would love to watch your breakdown of kingdom hearts 3
I'll agree that I like the music more in JSR and JSRF. While I do like the music in BRC, it's hard to beat JSR. With the level design, I guess it depends on what you're going for. I'm a bigger fan of the OG JSR with its score attack gameplay, and I feel like BRC is a bit better at that than JSRF. But if we're talking about the single-player main campaign, then I'd probably give JSRF the leg up there.
The greater advantage BRC has over the Jet Set games is that (at least on the PC/Steam version) you can mod in your own custom soundtrack, be it via Spotify or via your own computer's hard drive. As the devs, being Dutch (and therefore, pro-modding, because that's the culture of Central Europe's computer game industry, as that region's background is in the Demoscene of the late-1980s to mid-1990s) actively encourage user-generated material and content within reason.
Realistic is not the control scheme you should go for in a game like Jet Set Radio. Constantly jumping at rails and just NOT sticking to it is the fucking WORST feeling. BRC is euphoric in comparison.

Jet set RRRRADIOOOOOO~
PANZER DRAGOON MENTIONED LETS FUCKING GO
When playing the original Jet Set Radio. The controls aren't clunky. If anything slippery. But, it isn't hard to get used to, especially since there are very little moves. There is a jump, boost, move stick, and an action/camera reset button. Very simple to grasp.
Jet set Radio Future is similar, but is a lot more responsive, it does not feel slippery like the first game.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I can't comment on as I haven't played it. But, I imagine it feels way better to play compared to the other games.
8:21 real asf 😭😭
I’ve never played a game for four hours straight with the music blasting through my headset through every new area and vinyl I could get my hands on! This shit is fire son
2:17 damn
My only genuine complaint with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the lack of an ongoing post-game score challenge. After you've recruited every rival gang member to your crew, the game no longer has any way to impose some type of limit on your combo. This makes playing to max out your personal high scores feel hollow, since without any specific time limit or goal to reach, you could just pop around collecting multipliers for a few minutes, then find a convenient closed loop and just mash the trick buttons until you get bored.
All it really needs is the option to replay that final score challenge or some variation thereof. Put one of the oldheads in the spot where the rival used to be and have us try to reach the x-million points as fast as possible. Or challenge us to get the highest score we can in the full 300 seconds. Or give us a specific series of tricks/tags/enemies to hit while maintaining a combo and maxing your score within a time limit. Anything, really.
The point is that without some way to force your combo to end, your current high score is just a measure of patience, not skill. The very minor addition of a perpetual post-game score challenge would change that, and really should have been in the game to begin with.
The songs are so fckn good my listening ur outra i already vibed so much that i had to start the game.again
U gotta bomb rush this cyber funk
All city means you and or your crew has gotten up more than anyone else in the city.
I wish there would be a content update and multiplayer support, a system to make your own character and buy clothes. A even bigger city and more funny stuff to do and a park editor or something so you can share creations
Does anyone know what game was being played at 42:38? It looks like something I wanna buy.
CODE Bunny on itch.io. i made a video about it right before this one so if you want my opinions you're in luck.
32:47 but thats a good thing since its dutch
1:27 "Kiryu Yakuza from Yakuza..." fkin hell 🤦♂
JSRF had a slide(bound to L3) but it was in no way practical so i can see why you didn't mention it
The best part with the music? No copyright issues can be caused by streamin’ the game.
Good video, the hell is a "Vinyl CD?"
uuhhh.... you see... it's like. When you take a vinyl record. Which is disc shaped, like a frisbee.. and like, you uhhh. you push the disc REALLY hard. You make it smaller, like, ya know. you compact it. Turn it into a.... ya know, maybe it's staff shaped now. So it's a compacted disc. A disc that's now compacted.
Totally exactly what I mean.
There was a clip of a game that you had at the end of this video that was like A 2D mega man like what's the name of that
Not sure the exact spot, but probably CODE Bunny. An indie game I a did short video about right before this video came out. So I probably used the footage while it was still fresh in my mind/hadn't moved to my external drive yet.
10/10 review but the actual game is more of an 8/10 ngl but I still love it & JSR!
NOT TOO MUCH BABAY!!
Hey, just a small correction: Tagging graffiti spots actually DOES contribute to your score if you do it mid-combo.
What game is shown at 25:49 ?
Blaster Master Zero.
I had planned on making a video on it immediately after this video but I got sidetracked. I'm getting back to it now though.
4:39
Heh
Honestly, I would switch between Bel, Switch, DJ Cyber, and Tryce.
1:20 YOU CAN PLAY AS KIRYU?! WTF.
42:36 what is this game?
CODE Bunny. Indie game I did a video on right before this one. Footage was still on my main drive.
@@NovaZoneTV thanks man, ill check the vid out
I know this is not related to this video at all but I just watched your 3 hour breakdown of the kingdom hearts season all the way through and would love to watch your breakdown of kingdom hearts 3
It’s been an entire year I need your 800% effort that you promised
21:35
Wasnt quite able to hit the heights of JSRF imo - I think it was the OST, which was only okay, and the level design relying too much on manualing
I'll agree that I like the music more in JSR and JSRF. While I do like the music in BRC, it's hard to beat JSR.
With the level design, I guess it depends on what you're going for. I'm a bigger fan of the OG JSR with its score attack gameplay, and I feel like BRC is a bit better at that than JSRF. But if we're talking about the single-player main campaign, then I'd probably give JSRF the leg up there.
The greater advantage BRC has over the Jet Set games is that (at least on the PC/Steam version) you can mod in your own custom soundtrack, be it via Spotify or via your own computer's hard drive. As the devs, being Dutch (and therefore, pro-modding, because that's the culture of Central Europe's computer game industry, as that region's background is in the Demoscene of the late-1980s to mid-1990s) actively encourage user-generated material and content within reason.
@@DR3ADER1 JSRF actually had this too. An old Xbox feature no one remembers is the ability to load your own songs onto the console and play them
@@hassledvaniaThat's an XBOX feature, NOT a game feature. So it doesn't count.
@@DR3ADER1 If you can do it, you can do it
Realistic is not the control scheme you should go for in a game like Jet Set Radio. Constantly jumping at rails and just NOT sticking to it is the fucking WORST feeling. BRC is euphoric in comparison.
It really pisses me off we can't buy these games on console anymore!
just you u know u can by jet set on steam
'
nvm
good vid
I thought faux and tryce name were pronounced (fox) and (tr-e-e-c)
Faux is an actual English word, and my twin brothers name is Bryce (only 1 letter off), so I'm pretty sure of how I said those two.
