Sega teases Jet Set Radio on PSN and XBLA

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Dreamcast classic to see digital re-release.

Beloved Dreamcast relic Jet Set Radio is heading to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, judging by a teaser trailer just released by Sega.

The clip, titled Guess Who's Back, was posted on the Sega blog earlier today and briefly shows the game's logo. Take a look below.

There's no mention of a release date or whether any new content will be included.

The distinctive cel-shaded adventures of Tokyo graffiti rudie Beat debuted on Dreamcast back in 2000, followed by a sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, on Xbox in 2002.

Aside from a few cameo appearances in various Sega sports titles, fans of the series have had precious little to chew on since.

On the original JSR, you would download image files from the internet on your dreamcast and use them as spraypaint textures in the game!

THE FUTURE!

@munki83: Well they do say Dreamcast classic. JSRF was on the original Xbox, so assume that this will be the original (and frankly better IMHO) JSR :0)

Nice.

I still have the Sega GT 2002/JSRF disc from when i got my first Xbox but I'll still buy this.

Ahh it's the first one. Even better, never played that one.

And +1 for Shenmue. That would be so damn good. Also SEGA you would make money. Just do it

FYI, JSRF seems to work nicely with the 360's backward compatibility feature (the GT2000/JSRF disc, at least), if you just can't wait for some cel-shaded loveliness and don't have a Dreamcast.

But why wouldn't you have a Dreamcast?

Also, Hooray! More of this sort of thing, please SEGA.

@BearFishPie well, the GT/JSRF combo disc doesn't work if you use the VGA cable. Also, the frequent slowdowns are a bummer - there were some on the Xbox as well, but on the 360 sometimes it literally slows down to a crawl, especially in complex maps like the 99th Street.

Overall, it's ok, but I would totally not mind a fixed version for XBLA/PSN.

And yes, I agree the original JSR just pips its older (sweet soul) brother. It does get helluva difficult later on though. Never did manage to finish it once the suits got involved.

EDIT: Yes, how dare I not finish a game! Negs for me!

@munki83 I'm happy, but JSRF was an awesome little platformer, and it's soundtrack was better than JSRs. I'd buy a HD remake in a heartbeat

@Malek86 Really? That's a pain. I'd not run it enough on 360 to see the slowdown hit. Thanks for the heads-up - I go back in with expectations duly lowered.

I wish I was more excited about this as I still own the game for my Dreamcast.

Having played the game in 1080p on an emulator, I can attest that the game will look spankin' in 'HD.' Apart from some pop-up JSR hasn't aged a day.

Too bad they probably won't be able to licence the music.

I'd like to look forward to this but Segas other conversions to XBLA have been poor. Crazy Taxi and Space Channel 5 pt 2 should have at least had some tweaking / remaster but it looked like they had just dumped the code and did the minimal work needed to get the controller working. Shame.

@Razz The 720P emulation looks great ..!

I really miss the creativity of the old Sega AM teams and it's a shame SOA has fucked up the previous remakes like "Crazy Taxi" [ all time greatest arcade game ] and "Space Channel 5". If only they had the vision to make them into proper deluxe editions like w/ the old 90s album re -issues including proper HD / licensed music / and maybe including some background or interviews with the developers.

Hell I'd pay money just to hear some interviews with AM3 and some of the stories behind these games. However, I don't think SOA realise the potential for this kind of product -- where it's us older gamers who already own this stuff on Dreamcast but would pay to get them in HD but completely intact. Was so excited for "Crazy Taxi" on the X360 but still go back to the Dreamcast one as it's still the better version slowdown and all. As a massive Sega [ of Japan ] -fan it's just infuriating to suffer these shoddy ports when the games are so good.

-

Secretly hoping that "Seaman 1 & 2" will make it onto X360 as well now that Nintendo have announced a port to the 3DS. Seems to be a natural fit given the voice recognition and capabilities of the Kinect for feeding / grabbing / slapping gestures.?

Hisao Oguchi [ AM3 Producer at E3 2001 ]

"With Crazy Taxi Next, what I would like to do is to add new features that aren't in Crazy Taxi and Crazy Taxi 2... essentially make a totally new Crazy Taxi game. Of course, Crazy Taxi Next will have huge graphical improvements, but the biggest changes would be in the gameplay. For example, stages that change with time so you would have night-time driving sequences. With this in mind, there would be different customers that you would pick up at night compared to those you would pick up during the day. Using this example, you could pick up a couple at night and drive them to a hotel (laughs)."

-

There were a bunch of interesting directions Sega were exploring regards online just before the big crunch of 2003 when they consolidated [ shut down ] about half of their internal studios. Perhaps somebody could do well to get some of the original people back to finish off the games that they had in the pipe back then.?
