The House of Sonic’s dropped a vague but drip-filled teaser that strongly suggests that the beloved inline-skating, graffiti-tagging Jet Set Radio game will be hitting modern consoles soon.
The killer soundtrack and high-contrast, brightly coloured cartoon art style made developer Smilebit’s Dreamcast game a hit, but Sega never reissued the game — even as they’ve rolled out other back-catalogue titles — despite much fan clamor and rumours a few years back.
Jet Set Radio’s the kind of game people keep old game systems around for, and one hopes that new details — will this be both Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future whether this is an HD re-master, how much of the soundtrack is coming back — about this re-release will be forthcoming soon.
sounds good! Although I hope this makes its way to the 3DS & Vita too, its would be sweet on the Vita's sexy screen!
It would be even better if this was preparation for a new JSR game.
This. This times a million.
This. This times a million.
I lost my JSRF disc years ago, and never got the chance to play JSR. So I hope this is true. :D
Systems? Plural? DC only from memory. Sequel was xbox only.
Dreamcast and Xbox is two systems...
Wicked!
Oh. My. God.
"Jet Set Radio’s the kind of game people keep old game systems around for"
This indeed. If the games got a new digital release I could finally put down my Xbox for good.
I actually thought I was the only one...
Yes yes YES!!!
Hopefully it sells well and thu give us a new game!
Being that it's Sega, I see it just being a HD version of the original Dreamcast version (Hell, it even says so in the trailer). A shame, because I always felt Future was the better game, but nice to see Sega doing something with this fantastic IP. Hopefully this sells well enough to get the idea of a new game rolling.
OH GOD TAKE MY BANK PIN
Well I can stop shopping for a replacement Dreamcast on Ebay. Wait, no I wanted to play through the second part of Shenmue 2. Back to the shopping.
graffiti-tagging will see it refused classification in Australia
Much like Marc Ecko:
