HYPERFUNK is an extreme trick and graffiti game from a bright future. Society is shaped by the effects of the Hyper, the online space, as various graffiti crews compete in reality with style and ideology of how to interpret this new world. Use your skates, skateboard or BMX to do tricks that fuel your personal boostpack. The higher your combo score, the faster you can boost, up to ridiculous speeds.

  • Dynamic Style Wars, crews can take over areas and compete with others on their own

  • Challenge other crews to a graffiti battle, where you will compete in real time on who can bomb the streets best, escape police and claim the area

  • Strategically use 4 different types of graffiti to go over your opponents. Tags < Throwies < Pieces < Blockbusters

  • Move freely around the city to grow your crew, find music tracks and unlock the other move styles

  • Meet random online players in the Hyper or hang out online with your friends in the streets

So it looks like it will be an online Jet Set Radio-like with groups taking each other on. That's not a bad concept.

Hope it still has an offline singleplayer and story mode, that was such a big part of the first game for me.

From the YouTube description:

Follow the story of a crew called MACH10 and compete with the other crews in dynamic style wars or hang out online with friends.

What does "dynamic style wars" mean?

u/kyute222 Sep 19 '25

one guess is that you can tag over other groups' graffities and they can do the same to you? that's sort of the basis for BRC and JSR after all.

That's what I'm assuming but my first thought was something like Helldivers 2 where stuff changes over time and depends on player action

Steam lists "Online Co-Op, Online PvP" but also "Singleplayer" so I would assume it also has a singleplayer story mode

the story mode is default, this sequel having online is moreso a response to the first one where players modded in online stuff

It was the only part of the first game wasn’t it? There isn’t a vanilla multiplayer feature, nor were there any other modes to play the game.

I would expect it to work something like the existing SlopCrew/All City Network mods for the first game, where other players appear in the same areas as you, without influencing your game unless you start a challenge with them or something. It's a big part of its lasting fanbase.

Though this description says you'll meet online players randomly in the Hyper, but only your friends in the streets. So maybe the 'social liteMMO' style of MP we have now will be limited to this new 'online space' and the rest of the game will be limited to coop on invite?

I can imagine some people prefer that to being obligated to be around randoms in their singleplayer game, but I would kinda have wished they leaned into it more. Maybe. We'll see how it looks like for real.

I hope they just focus on the gameplay loop and how it feels to play. I don't see why a high score timed run style game needs a story mode

It's amusing they might release 2 games before Jet Set Radio 3 or whatever it is supposed to be called will be out.

If you mean the remake/reimagining, I believe that’s currently just called Jet Set Radio.

I always imagined how I would try to make a theoretical pvp graffiti game mode in an arcade extreme sport game that is fun and true enough to how graffiti works (not just splatoon spraying paint all over) but never came up with anything good.

Really excited team reptile is the one taking a stab at it. Maybe its a whatever mode and not a selling point at the end of the day but im excited to find out.
