How Jet Set Radio Became A Forgotten Icon

  • Jet Set Radio had all the makings of an instant classic when it was first released. Players were obsess with Jet Set Radio's vibrant graphics, and entertaining game play. Though as years went it seemed Jet Set Radio was just a flash in the pan, but still has a dedicated base of fans.

      @Fred Behrend As far as I've been made aware, they're just being thorough with it. I'd rather wait some extra time and get some solid quality than rush them into leaving bugs and mistakes in the game.

      @@massdefection yeah, I think I would agree I think if you have the patiences to wait good thing comes to you with great value, and if you just rush things out you start seeing small little details unravel in front of you. I mean team reptile is promising with how lethal league came out with the art, and the characters actual looking like those iconic JSR characters, plus if people start rushing the team I think that will cause problems as well like that Omori game for example.
      The community can ask some questions like how it’s going to play or how the story going to roll out in the game etc?, but I think the community should not send death threats, cursing at the team, or spam the heck out of the team etc. when the game is being developed and if there is a problem then I don’t at that point?
      But for me I am going to wait as well.

    I still own Jet Set Radio & Jet Set Radio Future. In the past week I've listened to a song or two from the soundtrack. I've played these games A LOT! So much so, with the digital remaster of the original missing songs, and basically no hope of a JSRF remaster, I own multiple copies of each game so I can enjoy them for years to come.

      Digital remaster actually has more songs than original, because it combines music from European and American releases and also adds some JSRF music into the mix. Only "Yappie Feet" and "Many Styles" are missing, because NTSC music, that was in place of those tracks sounded better.

  • @TheDanielCityHeroes
    @TheDanielCityHeroes Před rokem +92

    Jet Set Radio is one of the games I'm most hoping for to make a comeback. The setting, the characters, the music, the gameplay; it all comes together to make an incredible package. And Team Reptile really picked up the ball where Sega dropped it. I love Lethal League (It's basically JSR as a fighting game. That even just sounds cool.) and I'm eagerly waiting for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to finally drop. Hopefully, that news about Sega's JSR reboot turns out to be true and we actually get to see it come out.
    EDIT: THIS IS NOT A DRILL, PEOPLE! A new Jet Set Radio game is confirmed in development. HELL TO THE YES!

    Was scrolling my feed when I saw the title of this. Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future were not forgotten Icons.
    In fact, they are 8n such high demand to be played again, the group responsible for these master pieces have resurfaced after their falling out with Sega and are creating a new game called Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. They intend it to be as close to a Jet Set Radio Future 2 as they had imagined 21 years ago. It will include bikes and skateboards, it will use a slightly inhaled graphic from JSRF and slightly smoother controls that will still be very familiar, spray painting will have the same concept as JSRF and it will have an improved custom grafitti editor which will be compatible with the Jet Set Grafitti Manager for the steam port of JSR so you can upload your own images.
    The best part is, they aren't going to release it as an incomplete game (which is why they delayed the release from last year) and expect it to be ready and released by this fall. It's been 5 years in the making so get ready, we about to hit the streets again.

    As a kid I got an Xbox as a birthday present the Year it came out (I was 8)
    However, it was JUST an Xbox. Not the bundle that included Jet Set and another racing game.
    And sadly every store that I went did not sell Jet Set by it’s self. Only with the Xbox as a bundle. I’m not even kidding. This meant you couldn’t actually buy Jet Set Separately. My dad WOULD have bought me the game if we could find it, just to be clear.
    Which meant I DESPERATELY Wanted to play this game and couldn’t.
    It was incredibly frustrating
    I finally got a copy years later, I think the 360 had come out by then.
    And then my Xbox stopped reading discs shortly after.
    I did get to play it. It was better than I thought it was going to be
    And I can still feel how upset this made me.
