It's a weird take, but I'm not sure I expect a new Jet Set to live up to what Bomb Rush Cyberfunk put out. That game was a love letter, and absolutely nailed the style, gameplay, and nostalgia. I'd be afraid of getting a new Jet Set and it ends up being kinda generic or uninteresting.
You're is the first comment I've seen on all these posts about the Sega reveal even mention BRC.
I loved JSRF and I loved BRC because it was everything we loved about JSRF plus a bit more. It kinda makes me sad to see all these people completely forget about that awesome game.
Im just excited that BRCF made spraypaint on wheels a mini genre, and hopefully JSR returning creates an ongoing development of both games and sequels.
I love this stuff, and I want to see it evolve and improve. Even if BRCF keeps the crown, Im stoked to see JSR try and take it back
I don't know if it's feasible, but I'd really like a direct port and remaster of the original, and it would be extra cool to swap between the old and new game. The remaster would bring all new models and perhaps add some areas, but keep all of the old areas.
If they focus on the nostalgia factor, I think they have minimal risk of screwing it up, as long as they get decent music. If they try to reimagine it, it'll probably suck.
