Team Reptile has announced a new game that is heavily inspired by SEGA’s Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. In this game, players will start their own cypher and dance, paint, trick, face off with the cops and stake their claim to the extrusions and cavities of a sprawling metropolis in an alternate future.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk promises to feature a unique trick system with grinding, sliding, wallrunning and tricking in the air as well as on the ground. It will also have new music from composer Hideki Naganuma.
Additionally, players can choose a character from their crew and freely explore its three-dimensional streets.
In the game, every neighbourhood has many spots to find where you can paint graffiti. Once players get enough REP you can challenge the local crew for the territory.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk targets a 2022 release date, and will be a single-player only experience.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

This looks a bit *too* inspired lol. To the point of looking like an exact copy.
I’m sorry, how? There are already a couple of differences I spotted:
1. No inline skates, it’s all foot traversal
2. Laying down graffiti looks to be on the fly and seamless
3. You can do combos while on the ground instead of exclusively in the air.
Is the art style inspired? Yes. I don’t see that as a bad thing either, considering that SEGA is sitting on its a*s doing nothing with JGR or Future. But it’s doing it’s own thing instead of just copying it.
I was playing Jet Grind Radio a few weeks ago wishing it had a remaster. I’m disappointed there isn’t any rollerblades, but I’ll take what I can get.
