Literally thought of Kibogaoka, when I saw it in the video so yeah, I can see this theory checking out.

I'm glad you mentioned this. At first I was excited to learn something new, then I saw the area he fell into and was like, "Wait, he could'a just kicked the vent"

Bro new jet set radio announced

@@yourbrainonegg159 My comment aged like a big mac: took only a week or so lol. LETS GO JET SET RADIOOOOOOO *LET MOM SLEEP PLAYS*

I always assumed it was Felix's coffin.

This aged poorly

While this comment aged like milk, I do think it has some validity. During the development of the game, there was no indication of a new JSR in development. Likely, I think that your comment is right. That coffin is a representation of JSR, something that was the foundation of this game but was forgotten along with the rest of Old Amsterdam. *Till someone dug it up and brought it back.*

If I remember he took it off Felix who had it as a backpack and this lines up with another comment in that Felix lived in old Amsterdam as a kid

Hello!! You can't unlock Escher (that's the sniper's name) in the game! I used a mod to make Escher playable. I also used a couple of other mods to make this video. You can check the full mod list in the description!

oh! okay, thanks for the reply :D@@Makhor-nx5gq

I just like how it looks in 4:3 (Also the footage was a lot choppier when I tried to record it in 16:9 because my laptop is pretty old, so lol)

@@Makhor-nx5gq incredible taste

uh you definitely posted the wrong link

😂

Maybe Old Amsterdam might be explored on a future game

I bet this is set up for the sequel where we have to explore it to uncover a conspiracy.

​@@darkpaw1522I think the devs said they're not making a brc 2

@@alienjesus796 Why?!!!

i REALLY hope they make a dlc for the game based on exploring old amsterdam

i thought the same kind of thing! my personal take is that the mask itself may contain these memories, but younger felix in old amsterdam also makes sense. in that first memory on the canal, i remember seeing one of the silhouetted characters on the boat having a horn almost like masked felix from the big three intro. just going off of memory, i could be wrong though

@@renisaclus Checked a video of the sequence, and you're right! That figure is also much shorter than everyone else, so maybe both of our theories have some merit?

@@atomicanachronism8849the oldheads don't mention any other people wearing the mask (aside from dj cyber of course) so maybe felix really did have a life or childhood in old amsterdam and it wasn't a random/unknown character wearing it (plus the oldheads once lived in old amsterdam, remember the red light district, the real trees, know about the true nature of the mask, etc.) and then there's that sarcophagus in the underground bazaar, my guess is that it was used to preserve felix in some kind of stasis so he could survive past the flood that put old amsterdam underground. (there's a lot of unanswered who's what's and why's so this entirely guesswork.) something had to have awakened him, and then he left the underground to emerge from that secret area's exit into versum hill. (possibly the reason why he never used a boost pack, because he never had one in the first place so he did things old-school.) the mask might've urged him to go all-city, with the colorless memories of old amsterdam making him want to color in the new one (or some other reason that i can't think of) another connection (if i remember correctly) is that one room in the secret area of the underground bazaar looks kinda similar to the pit room in the pyramid island maze, both are yellow and have a square pit (except one's filled with water). what does it mean? not sure, just something i happened to connect

@@renisaclusteam reptile released a lot of BRC's models on their official discord, including the masked person from the first dream, and their model name is "kidFelix", which basically all but confirms that he grew up in old amsterdam and somehow managed to stay young into the present day (maybe by using the tomb-looking thing?)

@@sacredeight Considering all the head transplants felix goes through with no negative side effects, it's possible the world is just working off goofier logic, but I'm thinking that mask might have some sort of life preserving qualities. We see past felix with and without the mask at different points so it'd make sense that he aged some amount while still looking way younger than he should be considering he has memories of old amsterdam

Given how part of it is offshore, it's likely that climate change has destroyed most of the brc world

CAPITALISM BABY💵💵💵🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🌚

The netherlands, where amsterdam is, is largely at or below sea level. Even without a rising sea level, the dutch battle against the ocean for new real estate to this day. It's likely that much of old amsterdam was reclaimed by the sea as time went on in BRC's timeline and they decided to just build on top of everything else.

pollution, climate change and capitalism

By my understanding in the game world, it was due to rising sea levels so they built New Amsterdam on top of the old on

I thought the line about things you see there not being real was just a hint to the "lost woods" mechanic for how the place is laid out
