SEGA is reviving five of its classic franchises, including Jet Set Radio



With The Game Awards announcing dozens of new games, SEGA stole the spotlight by announcing nearly a dozen games on their own. SEGA is bringing back some of its old, most beloved IPs, by revealing five new games. Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Crazy Taxi, and Streets of Rage are all getting brand-new games. SEGA calls this a new era for the company, with these games set to release over the next handful of years. Early gameplay can be seen within the trailers, with the Jet Set Radio gameplay looking quite similar to that old supposed SEGA leaked gameplay reel from years ago.

They've got their work cut out for them living up to the other Jet Set Radio-inspired games released recently, but almost all the others seem like safe bets to generate a lot of interest. Shinobi and Crazy Taxi are must-buys for me so long as the price is right.

Golden Axe was so much fun back in the day! a new game needs to be 2D / 2.5D and nothing like Golden Axe Beast Rider however.

Potentially interesting news, however given Sega's track record with Sonic I won't get excited just yet...

Been waiting a long time for Sega to do something with these IPs.
Especially something good as suppose to just a cheap effort.
Looks like they went all in with Golden Axe and JSR, Shinobi is looking artistic but different gameplay wise and streets of rage I hope stays true to the original mechanics rather than toss them out.
Hope they keep up this trend and revive some obscure IPs too like Alien Storm, Crackdown, Gain Ground, heck Afterburner Climax could use another port.
Crazy Taxi looks pretty good too though I hope it's not multiplayer only focused.

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
