Looks like a ripoff of Sonic Riders!

I hadn't even seen the video. I was just trying to get a rise out of Sculli.

It looks like Jet Set Radio crossed with Mirror's Edge.

I think it looks more like Mirror's Edge crossed with Jet Set Radio.

Kickstarter video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k8zYmeXFkQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Holy shit. Hideki Naganuma (Jet Set Radio) is now working on the soundtrack for this game.

Heh, rewind button.

With Naganuma on board it's hard to imagine the Kickstarter failing.

Funny how the "console" is quite literally a Gamecube, complete with lunchbox handle.

The only 2 things I don't love about it are 1) it couldn't be more MExJSR if it tried, and 2) I can imagine myself getting tired of that (very saturated) colour scheme pretty quickly. For all the neon bang it contains, it feels kinda bland.

Watching that makes me wish they'd make another JSR game. On at least re-release JSRF...

The more I watch the alpha build the more I am reminded of Titanfall. Just the wall running and uber jumps. It's really similar.

Agreed about the colour scheme. It looks like they've randomly thrown colours at an area and then applied that to all areas.

Jet Set Radio is reborn again. Say hello to Bum Rash Cyberfunk

It's a spiritual successor to JSR so I'm onboard, but I think they're being a little too faithful to the original poly counts.

Already on my to buy list. I really wanted Neon Tails to be that JSRF successor but it wasn't polished enough to cut it. This looks the goods.

Fuck, I appreciate the efforts but I wish they'd look at other IPs like Skies of Arcadia or Jet Set Radio Future. Also saw this today in my feed, an indie studio looking to remake Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Edit - I give up with UBB code, here's the Youtube link to the reveal video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYE9_pYVFKM&t=109s
