Hover: The Closest Thing to a Jet Set Radio + Mirror's Edge game

[Elija2]

I've pretty much lost hope for a new JSR game so when I saw this game I got pretty excited. My excitement shot through the roof when it was recently announced that Hideki Naganuma, the Jet Set Radio composer, will be doing the game's soundtrack. This might be the spiritual successor that I always wanted.

• Large open world to skate around in
• Many unlockable characters with upgradeable stats
• Online multiplayer with cooperative and competitive modes
• Soundtrack composed by Hideki Naganuma
• Oculus Rift support
• Coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U

The devs are gonna be announcing a Kickstarter soon to raise some more funds so there may be even more features added to the game. The game is only being developed by three people though so even if nothing new is added I can't complain. Y'all should be hyped, too.

I dunno man, Jet Set Radio left a bad taste in my mouth...

Your complains for JSR were that the controls were stiff and that you hated the time limit. This game has none of those things. Did you even watch the video? This game plays much more like JSRF which I'm sure you'd like if you were able to play it.

I watched the video
Almost makes me wish for an open world Sonic Game...almost.

But we're all gonna play this together, we gotta decide on what ver. to get it on.

Why would you get it on Wii U when you can get it on PC where it will likely have better support?

But if you must get it on Wii U, the devs are looking into cross-platform play so hopefully we'd be able to play together no matter what.

[Hakudamashi]

Why would you get it on Wii U when you can get it on PC where it will likely have better support?

Because I want to.

[Elija2]

Because I want to.

Oh, okay. Well, have fun playing by yourself if cross-platform play doesn't happen.

[Hakudamashi]

Thank you, I will

And you continue having fun playing that 3DS by yourself.

[Elija2]

And you continue having fun playing that 3DS by yourself.

I won't have to because the 3DS has a thriving online community.

[Hakudamashi]

And the Tekken Tag 2 and Monster Hunter Communities are totally dead
Yup, I'll be playing that Wii U all alone.

Somehow I don't think an indie game on the Wii U will have a thriving online community.

[Hakudamashi]

Somehow I don't think an indie game on the Wii U will have a thriving online community.

Indie games on PS3 don't have thriving online communities
Hell, AAA fighting games on consoles don't always have thriving online communities

Depends on the game and how long the community continues to give a shit.
Or life happens.

I lost interest when I saw it was first person, but that interest flooded back when I saw it wasn't required. I hate PC gaming and Indies in general, but I might try this if I get the chance. I doubt I'm buying it, though.

Let's hope it continues being the "In Thing" till we get a Sonic open world game.
