It's funny, but I was guessing they'd announce SpikeOut 2 on Twitter before the show since I knew it wasn't going to be VF since it's Sega.
Cyberfunk is way too easy, the manual makes the game boring for me.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this. I vibed with BRC's style but the controls are just so incredibly forgiving. There's no momentum to the movement so you can just stop on a dime, you get the airbooster that lets you readjust any jump you screw up, the combo system is certainly more fleshed out than JSRF's but it's absolutely trivial to keep a combo going between the manual and being able to do manual specials that reset your combo meter. All of this combines into a game with no friction against the player, which I guess is what most people wanted but I prefer a game to actually challenge me at least a little bit. The original Jet Set Radio is way too stiff, but I thought Future found the perfect level of fighting against/mastering the momentum.
Absolutely agree with most of this. Though I prefer the gameplay of the original over Future.
It leans moreso into the stylistic exploratory platformer with puzzle-ish elements from Future. If a new Jet Set wasn't coming out I'd be more down on how easy it is, but this announcement relieves a lot of pressure off reptile so they can pretty much support their game how they want, without feeling like they have to carry the spiritual successor burden.
Do we have proof that they're making any of these themselves? I thought all of them are outsourced too.
The original bands sure, and All I Want from Offspring for sure, but they need to expand the soundtrack - in game its two Offspring and two Bad Religion songs, lasting only a couple of minutes. They need to brand out and add more Offspring and BR tracks, maybe look into getting more punk rock added as well - I mean, it doesnt NEED to be punk, but between the three games that's the soundtracks they've used so I kinda need them!
If you turn all the cheats on in Tony Hawk it's also an exploratory platformer.
Sure, but I'm asking if we know if any of them are internally developed.
I would be happy with an updated but straight portJust been obsessively pouring over the trailer and notice that with new Crazy Taxi, you start from the exact same point as you did in the original game. Makes for a fun comparison shot.
Crazy Taxi seems to be more of a straight remake, or at least draws the most from its original source material. It's set in San Francisco again, all the old cabbies and their cars are in, and you even have the same starting point. I'm guessing they're going for an expanded remake - same gameflow as the original, but now with police chasing you. Didn't look like any cars were jumping like in CT3.
What if it is the same guy, older and balding? Kind of looks like it lolJust been obsessively pouring over the trailer and notice that with new Crazy Taxi, you start from the exact same point as you did in the original game. Makes for a fun comparison shot.
