If you’re looking for a new Jet Set Radio style game, make sure to check out the recently released indie project Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. They did a great job of capturing the JSR spirit while modernizing the controls and gameplay. store.steampowered.com/…/Bomb_Rush_Cyberfunk/
Absolutely. It makes me sad that there aren’t many posts about this awesome game (at least on Lemmy; there were at least like three subreddits before I left the other site).
They even got Hideki Naganuma (who did the music for the first two JSR games) to do some music for BRC.
I feel like it is hard to mess up the formula as long as it doesn’t get too “modern gaming”. I was playing my Dreamcast over Thanksgiving and really wanting a new Crazy Taxi and JSR so I was pumped at first when I saw this, but I’ve stopped believing in the hype for games a decade ago.
I was so happy he got to return for that Ghost Recon cameo. I was pissed at Ubisoft for a while for replacing him for Blacklist, but then it turned out he couldn’t do it for health reasons and just wanted to keep it hush-hush.
I’m glad he’s doing better now, can’t believe he beat three different cancers.
“They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over.”
One of the earliest pieces of media I can remember consuming was the mid-90s TV show Viper, where James played the main character. I remember very little about the show except James's face and that he played his character cool as fuck.
I've been replaying Alan Wake and Control recently, and I have such a soft spot for his roles in them because I loved that stupid show when I was a kid.
I rewatched Viper a few months ago, it’s on Pluto for free. For the first time since it aired in the 90s. I didn’t remember that he only did the first 2 seasons. I also only rewatched the 2 seasons he is in, since he was essential for this show. I may have dropped it also, when it aired that’s why i forgot it had more seasons.
Still cool as fuck, including the sparkling gloriousness of the 90s.
This one hit hard, he was truly iconic. I haven’t played Max Payne 1 or 2 for decades but I still remember his performance vividly. I wonder what will happen now with both Alan Wake 2 DLCs and the Max Payne remake on the horizon.
