Thanks to some surfacing screenshots and a tiny bit of gameplay footage found on Youtube, we've heard there is a new Jet Set Radio game in the works! Once again, a Dreamcast masterpiece is getting a new game for modern systems! This is all just rumors at the moment, but there is some pretty promising evidence coming out on Xwitter!
Well, so far, we got some cool screenshots of Beat and it looks like the graphics are very much in line with the old classic Jet Grind! For some reason, this doesn't seem to be related with the reboots for Crazy Taxi or Golden Axe. You'd think they'd want this gem on top of the Montage that Sega has been presenting to us for the past couple of months, but they are pointedly letting people know that it's not related. While the new game is going to be Open World, this new game will be more of an actual remake. Now, is it really necessary? Maybe not. You can play JSR on Steam right now and the graphics are what you'd expect.
This is a bit strange, but of course, who is going to complain? IF this is true and we are getting a separate "reboot" or "remake" from all of the other greatness coming out, this could be a fairly nice Christmas for Sega fans. It's very comforting to think that there are so many devs and game creators that are willing to keep this media alive and thriving. It's good to know we have some people on our side as well. For now, though, it looks like we're just waiting for it all to come about. Let's just sit, cross our fingers, hope, and drink water.
