It's the decade of remakes.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

As long as they're good I'm all for it

Damn that's heartbreaking. Genesis was not only my first console; the earliest conscious memory I have of my life is playing Sonic 2 with my Mom. I know it's probably different people at the company making these decisions, but retro SEGA means a lot to me and my journey as a person.

Don’t let stuff like this tarnish your memories please. Many of the clothes we wear, food we eat, and products we purchase most likely involved some form of injustice during production or shipping.

It’s not your fault that you were born into a broken system. You found joy in spending time playing with your mom. There is absolutely nothing more innocent than that! Try to be a decent person in your local community and don’t internalize this kind of news too much. Anything else is guaranteed to be a recipe for a miserable life.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Well said. I fully agree.

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Their publishing policies have been terrible lately as well. CA is getting the juice pressed out of them.

I dunno, bomb rush may have stolen their lunch. Can jet set reclaim their throne?

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well BRCF has one Naganuma track, so by that metric Bomb Rush is in the lead by a wide margin.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ngl tho, Im still gonna buy it if the reviews are good. I assumed JSRF had been replaced by BRCF, so Im over the moon about there being 2 franchises about graffiti on wheels

[–] moxcie@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

BRCF was excellent, but I could always use more. I’ve still got my Dreamcast and my Xbox connected to my tv and both have jsr/jsrf in them. So I’m all for more options!

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Nah, jet set radio is better. You can take more hits, there's more characters, you move faster, and that's just start of why Jet Set Radio is better than BoMb RuSh

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 19 points 11 months ago

Oh fuck yeah new JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOO

[–] AliasWyvernspur@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

The Crazy Taxi license plate was a nice touch. I saw that and knew it was going to be Crazy Taxi (which I loved). SoR, CT and JGR were games I loved playing and can't wait to play new versions of.

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The SEGA at the end caught me off guard.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 9 points 11 months ago

Legit me when I saw Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.

[–] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[–] Computerchairgeneral@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Oh man, these all look great. I knew there were images floating around from a new Jet Set Radio game, but the rest were a complete surprise. Obviously too early to tell how the games will turn out, but it's good to see Sega doing something new with their old IPs instead of just doing re-releases.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

I feel like the CIA guy the government wants for "just one more job" in the movies. Well fuck, I guess it's time to lace up my skates and pop the fatcaps on the cans...

[–] Joker@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Streets of Rage looks awesome. I’m also excited about Golden Axe. I spent so many hours playing that on Sega Genesis. I hope the remake turns out good.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Did they miss the memo on Armored Core 6? If they're bringing back a Dreamcast franchise, it's Virtual On

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 11 months ago

Oh shit. Golden Axe be looking kinda Soulslike. That would be dope as fuck!

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works -5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They all like kidna bad ngl

jet set radio lost all the charm it had by just slapping a botw like filter over the characters, wheres then style? and the others just look so generic as hell, like what happened?

[–] Zeroc00l@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll probably wait for more than a few seconds of gameplay footage to form an opinion.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

teaser and trailers exist to make you excited for the actual product, than again trailers rarely do so for a number of years now

[–] Zeroc00l@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Kind of sounds like you just aren't into video games anymore, or at least the same ones you used to be. Also everyone is probably feeling massive reboot and sequel fatigue at this point.

But yeah I'll wait for some actual reviews on YT before thinking about buying any of these.

[–] RecallMadness@lemmy.nz 0 points 11 months ago

To me it looks more like a modern manga/anime (more detail, smoother gradients) vs the original that paid homage to (classic?) manga (black and white / block colour).
