Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

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

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. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1353230/Bomb_Rush_Cyberfunk/

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.

It's a fantastic game and deserves some recognition.

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck that, just play Marc Eckos Getting Up

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

So they're trying to redo the 'tude era.

[–] DaCookeyMonsta@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

After it worked so well for Sonic -_-

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Unironically yes. Sonic 1 had 'tude: it was always part of the IP.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

WWE writing notes I think is half the problem.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Edgy? Is sonic gonna drop an N bomb?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 18 points 2 years ago

As in bringing back the word "Nintendon't"?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

Well, they might give Shadow a gun again

[–] spriteblood@kbin.social 11 points 2 years 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

[–] detalferous@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] AnonTwo@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] squirrelwithnut@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

Sega does what Nintendorders
