Jet Set Radio

Love Jet Set Radio Future. It is a wonderful game.

I think my favorite song in JSRF is:

JET SET! JET SET! J! S! R! Groovy! JET SET RADIO~!

You mean THIS?

This is my second favorite:

M Bison: YES!

EVERYBODY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC

Anyone else reminded of SA 2's City Escape by this song? It seemed like it would've been perfect for an Act 2 or something.

Hey! A thread about Jet Grind Radio! Awesome! Dreamcast forever!

On a more serious note, YES. This series needs a new game something awful. I just wish that proposal for the Wii game had went through. The artwork looked rather interesting and I wanted to see how well it translated to 3D.

Mmm...

I said it before and I'll say it again and again and again and again

If they make a new JSR I'd rather it not be wii exclusive. Think about the online features they can add though, and how cool would it be to able to upload your custom graffiti and download others from online? And death ball or 6 way taggers tag matches awwww yeah.

I'm honestly curious why Sega is just sitting on this series. I mean, the games were absolutely great (discounting that... thing on the Advance). Why not make another? They'd sell.

Also, if they do make another game, I would like the game to look as good as it sounds. Not in graphics per-ce, but in style. A game like this could easily pull off a heavily stylized look without suffering for it.

Music licensing, for one. That's a problem.

I'm probably just labeling myself as an absolute idiot, but most games seem to do okay with getting music. I mean, JSR has to get more music with a very specific sound, but it can't be that much harder. Can it?

Depends on the scope of the game. See: Crazy Taxi - it lost all the original music.

In the worst case scenario, they could just ship the game with Hideki Naganuma's tracks (which are impressive in and of themselves). But yeah, it would be pretty depressing to not be able to hear the licensed half of the soundtrack...

Oh...
Well then, I could live without some of the music. Just put in or make new music to replace it.

On an unrelated note: UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND ,UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND, UNDERTSAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE UNG!

My hope is that they never try to make JSRF darker and edgier and thay they keep the soundtrack remains as solid as always

Oh snap! Nostalgia!

I remember the original Japanese version of JSR on the Dreamcast. The game's cel shaded graphics and unconventional use of electronic music was nothing I've seen before, but I found some of the tutorial levels fairly buggy; one of them is supposed to have you grinding on two sets of electrical wires, but the demonstrator fell off halfway through, leaving me stumped for days. The US release is much stable, but I also noticed subtle differences (aside the voice acting and addition of two NYC levels), like Cube's outfit.

Funny thing, I've never really gotten into JSRF as much as its predecessor, mostly because nearly nobody here owned an Xbox (or the Gamecube; the PlayStation 2 reigned supreme). This is also the only Xbox game I've ever played.

I remember in the demo for JGR, the characters used their Japanese voices so they soudned way different compared to the final version. Beat would make these weird noises, Gum had a cute giggle as opposed to HEY YOU! and Tab was replaced by Soda/Slate, who sounded like a big burly Russian guy.

In the first game Cube, Mew, Tab and Garam were my favorites. In Future it was Yoyo, Clutch, Cube again and Boogie. I remember Combo being TERRIBLE in the first one and dreading the race with him against Beat. In future he's a lot better though.

Sorry, I prefer Jet Set Radio Future.

Looks like we have a spiritual successor!

Hmm. This would have been good news eight years ago when this Ollie King hit the arcades...

Sorry about that, then. I can't seem to find an OST, though, unlike for Jet Set...
