[@GameRevo]

I love the comparisons you made to other games in this video. Comparing the first JSR to Tony Hawk and Tomb Raider is a fascinating way of looking at its pretty unique (and clunky!) controls. I noticed you didn't give much mention to the fixed-arc jumping and the miserable amount of sideways in-air control it gives you. Do you think that an improved camera alone would be sufficient, or that the air controls would also need a rework? For both JSRF and Hover, one thing I noticed while watching is how many issues both games experience thanks to pseudo-open-world structures. You emphasise the freedom in Hover quite a few times (You seemed to really like the open-ness of wallrunning which I also think is excellent) and how it contrasts the restrictive mission structure, and I agree that it's the game's greatest flaw. One thing I maybe wished you could have explored more is an alternative approach to this setup. You cite collectathons, but the multi-layer grid-based design of the two main Hover environments are arguably too open and grid-based to make navigation reliable like in Banjo-Kazooie or Super Mario 64. Personally I wonder if that's why they slapped down checkpoint races throughout the streets and called it a day, but I'm interested to hear of any ways you think the maps would need to be modified (if at all) to create a more engaging collectathon setup. Perhaps the Skate games could work as a template instead, particularly with more open-ended 'spot'-based objectives. For example, some Skate missions require you to pull off certain styles of tricks at particular locations, but to do so you can exercise the game's object-placement tool to tailor the environment to your needs. Do you think that could work as an alternative foundation? Apologies for the wordwall there. I am also enamoured with Hover's controls and its lacklustre structure is something I've tried to puzzle out quite a few times. I appreciate the small comparisons to Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. In my opinion, lots of Jet Set Radio's issues transitioning to Future are similar to Mirror's Edge going onto Catalyst: a more forgiving control-scheme (arguably better in Catalyst though), semi-open-world design, similar issues with backtracking, and levels that feel ironically more restrictive than its predecessor. While the collectibles are a nice addition in JSRF, I do wish there was more incentive to enjoy each area as a 'playground' after completing the main objective. Short of that, they just feel like linear paths to backtrack through, much as Catalyst's open-world segments are used to load in the next section. On one hand, I wish JSRF more resembled one single open map, but the structural issues with Hover make me doubt that. Anyway, I loved the video, and I guess my only question after watching is: How do you think a game like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk should be structured to avoid the trappings of JSR/JSRF/Hover? (Also, nice shoutout for Ollie King, that game's soundtrack is wonderful)

[@timbennet6963]

reagarding the jumping and air controls, it's about understanding the degree of movement you are given. if you jump and then hold a direction you will drift rouhhly 10 to 20 degrees if you hold for your whole jump, if you hold a direction and then jump you can get to 60 degrees out at a push. the movement is very, very weighty admittedly butonce you understand it, it is really satisfying.

10:48 "It's the closest you'll ever get to a remaster" Why must you hurt me so?

[@rgbmew]

I actually have something to add on to your Hover section! So, I am a VERY long time Hover player. I heard about it back when the Kickstarter first started, and bought it a few months after release. The community was pretty small, small enough to where a fanmade Discord server made in ~late 2015-ish had 100 members or less. The devs actually joined the community Discord, and either turned it into the official Discord, or moved the members from the community one, to the new one. I can't remember which, it's been a while. But maaaaan, that game went downhill. When the game was first released, I think the devs didn't have enough experience than they thought they did. The game had terrible memory leaks, they re-made the main map 2 or 3 times, they changed how characters were unlocked multiple times, they changed how the character creator worked multiple times. The weird MMO-esque "chip" system was originally sort of a skill tree. When you leveled up in the game, you could assign a point to any skill you wanted, you didn't need any special chip to do so. It was clear that the vision they had for the game originally was changing. I met a dude on Hover named Dante, he started getting pretty close with the devs, and they were having a lot of financial issues. The publisher wouldn't give them the budget to make the game, I heard that sometimes the workers wouldn't be paid at all? It was very hellish. They also started having issues with the soundtrack. Hideki Naganuma was originally going to compose the ENTIRE OST, but stopped replying to the Hover team for some reason? He was paid the agreed price, but it just ended up not working out. The team was also making a lot of changes to the game that drove the community away. Don't get me wrong, the game always had a smaller community, but the community is practically MIA now. Along with that, there was also some fighting with the developers and the community if I remember correctly? Some of the team members left the official Discord server, I think one of them might have quit? I heard that there was also a lot of WORKPLACE drama with some of the team members. From what I remember, with my hazy memory, is that there was a developer on the game that had some transphobia issues or something? One of the team members is trans, btw. I can't remember any specifics from it, I honestly could have pulled the transphobia thing out of my ass, or maybe got it confused with something else, but Hover had a verrrry rough upbringing. But do keep in mind, a lot of this is sort of hearsay. While I do think a lot of the financial problems are very real, I think the team behind Hover had some... questionable intentions later on in the games development. I think there was wayyyy more things going on behind the scenes that Dante either never told me, or they never told Dante. He completely stopped associating with Hover & the devs about 2 or 3 years ago. I'm still not completely sure why, but he always alludes to them doing some shady shit. But here's something that ISN'T hearsay: most of the OG Kickstarter backers never received a code for the game! Take that how you will. ;) Just to add a little validity to this, so you don't think I'm just a random troll, here's a fun little story from 2016ish! Dante, a few people in the Hover community, and I started an in-game "gang" called "Grind." The devs thought this was awesome, and because Dante is an artist, they asked him to design a logo, and they put the logo in the game, along with a secret room that is no longer accessible (unless you clip out of bounds). I actually have pictures of the room in the game, my spawn point is still set there, ~4 years later. Here's an imgur album of the old Grind logo, and the room, along with 2 old screenshots of Dante talking to Neerhos, a Hover developer, just for a little more credibility. /a/CWajGPH (put imgur dot com before the /a/. KZbin flags comments with links IIRC.) I also have an old video of me playing Hover! I recorded it because I wanted to show off how to get to a glitched area of the map. It's uploaded to my old KZbin channel, but hopefully it'll add a little more credibility that I've been playing this game for a long ass time. watch?v=EutmTi_zHHU I'd love to add more, but most of my conversations about Hover were on Skype, and this was before they saved conversations on a server, so I don't have them anymore :( Great video btw!

Yoooooo I forgot all about Jet Set Radio! It came with my Xbox when they first came out... Good memories you took me back

[@VanquishSpeed]

But what about Sunset Overdrive? It does have similarities to Jet Set Radio 🤔

[@lorkieborkie2537]

O-O this dude is onto something

[@axelprino]

To me Sunset Overdrive felt like Jet Set Radio and Saints Row the Third mashed together, pretty sad that we probably won't get a sequel.

[@PDS350]

Sunset Overdrive feels like JSR + Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with a little bit of Insomniac's trademarked "shooter platformer with crazy guns"

[@dr.velious5411]

I heard a lot of people ragging on Sunset Overdrive, was it actually good? I was interested but never got an Xbox One to play it.

[@axelprino]

@@dr.velious5411 It's no masterpiece but it has a somewhat unique gameplay loop and it's a fun light hearted game. You don't need an Xbox, it's available on Steam.

This is one of the best examples of "style is substance" out there, like it's not that great of a game but that doesn't stop it from being awesome
