Fans have been asking Sega for decades now to make a Jet Set Radio sequel, and since the company seemingly isn’t interesting, some fans are stepping in to do it themselves.
I’ve already written about Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on the site, but that was when the developers only had a teaser trailer, which merely hinted at how close this was cutting to Jet Set Radio. This full trailer just comes right out and shows it. The colours, the grinding, the graffiti, it’s all there.
If you’re wondering why it doesn’t just look like Jet Set but sounds like it, as you can see early on above, original composer Hideki Naganuma is working on this.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Jet Set Radio 2 will be out on at least the PC in 2022 (there’s already a Steam page for it).
I might be imagining it but are they just straight up using some of the same maps too?
Not that I’m complaining, I’m totally down for this.
It’s not exactly the same. Rather a recreation.
Hey Sega just give these guys the JSR licence.
Wasn’t the sequel called Jet Set Radio Future?
Was less of a sequel and more an improved version of Jet Set Radio. A more cohesive (and easier) version.
I never played JSR, but this trailer has some funky arse vocoder shit and it looks cool. I’m down.
