Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Review - The Vibes Are Strong With This One

[@zevzero]

I want a physical edition of this so bad.

[@Vinyl6Monster]

Has there been any word from the devs?

[@DieselJT]

Same!

[@Jumpeer7]

No physical release?

[@AlexEatsCats]

I want a vinyl of the OST

[@FurySp4rk]

There will be one, but closer to December sadly.

[@foxcollr831]

Small note, the soundtrack is not by Hideki Naganuma. He did the promotional music and iirc 4 songs in the game's mixtapes, but the soundtrack is by a bunch of different artists. Some of it is pre-released music that the team brought on, some of it was made specifically for the game.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thanks!

[@solomon9655]

I'd argue that's a big note considering music is half the game. Man didn't really do his research.

[@ians_parks]

3 songs.

[@KogeyFox]

To be fair, JSR/JSRF's OST wansn't entirely Hideki Naganuma either. There was The Latch Bros, Richard Jacques, David Souel, ect.

[@CubesAndPortals]

Everyone being confused about the combat is so funny to me. You're not supposed to just stand there and whack em, you gotta slam into em with Boost & hit them with drive-by trick damage, especially from on grind rails. "It's about fighting with style!" You can insta the little guys really quick with trick > jump > paint. The on-foot trickjump launches them upwards, you can even hit multiple with the graffiti at once.

[@hisradiancelordnasty]

WOOOOOW

[@QBG]

I feel the same way, but I understand why most people just mash buttons and come away disappointed. The game never tells you how combat really works. I didn't discover the high jump trick until after I had already finished the main story and most of the post-game. The fact that you never get a little text message explaining how to do the on-foot high jump and that it opens up cops to be KO'd via paint is a baffling design choice. The game goes out of its way to text you every detail about most of its other mechanics, often multiple times and with an in-game tutorial moment. Why not do this for combat as well? As someone who fumbled through combat but eventually learned to love it once I figured out the "correct" way to fight, I can confidently say that randomly stumbling upon the high jump maneuver and discovering way too late that combat actually _didn't_ suck was NOT more fun than if the game just _explained_ it like it did everything else. LOTS of reviews across the spectrum of print, video, and social media have complained that BRC has bad combat, and I don't blame them. Imagine how many people passed on this awesome game because they thought combat was a superfluous afterthought instead of another way to show off your skill in style. Not explaining combat and the absence of any post-game challenges once you've unlocked the rival gang members are the two biggest oversights made by Team Reptile.

[@1wayroad935]

The most important thing about this game was whether or not the soundtrack was on point. Thankfully, it looks like it is.

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Yup, it's the best soundtrack I've heard all year.

[@deltrae3]

It's fucking good. Especially if you like ASS ASS ASS ASS

[@MagnitudePerson]

The OST is dope, its the same composer. all solid, no flawed tracks

[@devonjames7999]

I've been playing since yesterday its very close to perfection

[@thrillhouse_vanhouten]

Slight Correction for 5:23 : Jet Set Radio's Hideki Naganuma didn't "do the soundtrack" for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk; he is merely one of many artists featured on the OST.

[@itsagabe]

The music isn't by Hideki Naganuma. He is in the soundtrack, but he's not responsible for the entirety of it.

[@neoyaku]

Exactly

[@pacothemajestic]

Fun thing about the combat, if you hit an enemy and then jump, or if the spray icon shows up at all while you're fighting, you can spray tag the regular cops for an instant KO. You can even take out groups with this sometimes. Also Naganuma only did 3 songs on the soundtrack.

[@Octorocker743]

I grew up on JSRF, and I’m a bboy so this feels especially catered to me lol. I’m excited to play it!

[@jeffrey5976]

Great job with the review

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thank you!

[@yeetkunedo]

If you think the music isn’t supposed to take center stage in the sound mix within a game that aims to be the spiritual successor to JSR / JSRF’s legacy, then idk if you understand this game

[@neoyaku]

Thank you! I was offended by his comment LOL 😂

[@NoNamex1412]

Funkiest game this year

[@mikeclark4480]

Looks fantastic

[@SafetyServbot]

The soundtrack is actually by a wide selection of multiple artists. Hideki Naganuma only contributed 3 tracks.

[@astrea555]

Been waiting so long for a true JSR sequel, and then for this game to release!! DLING NAO

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Yea us too

[@DiepSpartan119]

I still had original xbox console and still got the game jet set radio and now im playing on my modren 2015 pc steam bomb rush cyberfunk

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

The spiritual successor of JET SET GRIND / JET SET RADIOOOOOO!

[@Rogueonepigeon]

Inspiration, this is almost like for like the design of both jsr and jsrf, even the dancing and character designs are very similar. Hopefully, the current gen of younger gamers will get the same experience as we did when JSR was released,but we definitely cannot forget where this all started from and pretend this is original.

[@MagnitudePerson]

You're stupid. Its a spiritual successor, by definition it HAS to be a rip off OTHERWISE NO ONE LIKES JSR WOULD PLAY, DUMBO!

[@CBlade0]

It kind of looks like a clone, doesn't it? I feel like a lot more innovation is expected for spiritual successors.

[@cj-3810]

@@CBlade0Not at all; movement and gameplay smooth as butter; don’t knock the good games till you tried it

[@awake1251]

Dang, I love this channel. You cover so many good games, but you’re never without constructive feedback.

[@teddyriggs1305]

The Combat is kinda Good it's just wasn't explained well like you must do a 1 2 3 Combo, Jump and then Spray Grafitti on them to beat them(aside from Snipers that goes down in one hit) And the Jump move is an AOE of sorts that launches any enemy in the air near you and as soon as you do the Graffiti it will not only apply to your target but also most of your surrounding enemies in the air giving them an Instant KO.

[@PSYB3RMOTH]

best game to release this year

[@reco7234]

I think this is a great game for a perfect sequel, it already does so much great stuff, if they improve on what they already have an amazing sequel is to be expected

[@princegroove]

As a former adolescent graffiti artist, skater, and still a Jet Set Radio fan this is right up my alley. Let’s go! 🔥

[@robslams2324]

Shut up with the let's go crap npc ever little twit says that crap it's lame and overplayed last year even.

[@sportingfemalelegends]

I enjoyed your review!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Yay thank you!

[@Creekmore]

It’s really cool, but I am concerned about the overall variety of my tricks. I don’t just wanna loop kick flips, laser flips and reverts over and over. Same with my soul grinds, porn stars and makios.

[@CustomGamesStudios]

Awesome review, about how long is it??

[@Globalastral5]

He doesn’t know because he hasn’t played it. He just watched other streamers content and made a video

[@m4xy.]

@@Globalastral5right, the journalist who got review copies watched streams of the game before it was released and published the review at the same time the game came out using information they got from people streaming a game they didn't have access to. brother, that doesn't make sense‼️

[@Globalastral5]

@@m4xy. it came out yesterday in Japan and the first hour and a half has been online for a day now. Anyone could’ve watched it and made general statements for a “review”. Notice how there’s no content in this video that doesn’t go past the first battle with the Franks?

[@NoisyPixelNews]

We get codes early, nerds -__- Bailey, the one who reviewed it is currently at a press event in New York. I pinged him on how long the game is and will wait for his reply. However you guys needs to chill and go play a game or something. -Azario

[@NoisyPixelNews]

It's about 8 - 12 hours long. We couldn't complete all the additional content before the review, but we imagine it adds a few hours, plus some time was spent just exploring and looking around.

[@scottysauce]

I’ll wait for a sale

[@Lupinvej]

Will this game make me understand the concept of love ?

[@devonjames7999]

Lol you didn't have to spoil the very unexpected beginning lol good thing i started the game yesterday before watching this. headshots in the first 5 min of the game I was like DAMN!!! They aren't playing around...until i found out they were with that robot head 😂....still for the brief moments i thought they were sniping main characters out here

[@chrisroberts6797]

So no graffiti editor? 😢

[@awakenedsoul2638]

A game that is the reincarnation of JET GRIND RADIO by SEGA!

[@Kentama]

Wow. Spoilers right out the gate. Not appreciated.

[@garethbeaton8414]

2 gig woow getting it today but need new joy cons 😢

[@brandonnelson94]

Crazy that this has to be called a “spiritual successor” when it so clearly looks like it wants to be Jet Set Radio 3

[@williamshevr]

the blue filter totally run the game for me. That's awful, I wish they would have leave a colorful/vibrant color palette, not this atrocity

[@GodKiller97]

Hideki only did one track on the OST. Lots of other artists contributed to the soundtrack

[@mayoisnnaise]

can you Make your own character? o:

[@knaksi]

It's got the vibes, but does it really have anything else whatsoever?

[@ians_parks]

Its fun. Controls are far better than the JSR series of games. It's also more combo focused like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Combat is so so but it's not the focus and most encounters can be outright ignored unless it's a boss fight. The game also weirdly lacks a reset camera button but it's a minor complaint.

[@Dikheaddev]

Music is pretty fire tbh reminiscent of jsr/jsrf if you arent into it then idk why you like these games tbh

[@kingarcadian]

jet set radio remake ?!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Pretty much!

[@cilitbang12]

You broke if you don’t play this

[@NEVOCITY]

Did you really start this off by calling him protagonist for? His name is Faux. It kind of throws your credibility out the window if you actually played this game or not.

[@ericharbour9254]

Was this review ai generated. There were some weird mistakes with your speech and nothing was really reviewed came across more as a summary.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Go read the review on the website 🤷‍♂️ Bailey is a creative writing major and I have dyslexia so maybe that’s why - Azario

[@Globalastral5]

This isn’t a review. You just watched content from streamers and made a video with general statements.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

We’ve never been accused of something like this but take it very seriously. And with that, we very seriously say, “shut up nerd, you have no idea the amount of work we had to put in to put this out at embargo.”

You can play as multiple female characters throughout the game as they are recruited into your crew. Its just like JSR where you can switch out to a different character.

​@@ians_parks Thank you. Still, the story is focused on the male protagonist, which is different to the original game. Besides that the story in "Jet Set Radio" is more grounded than simply compete against each other
