​

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.

Wow they all look great. Definitely down for some more Crazy Taxi and Shinobi!

 

[RedoLane]

SEGA you smart snitch, you're finally not holding back!
I CAN'T WAIT TO COME ON OVER AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAZY TAXI......AGAIN!

 

[Bladexdsl]

it's about fucking time they must have finally realized o wait we have other fucking games we can make too instead of just fucking sonic!

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...

I have no idea if this will be good or not but why do people only bring up Sonic? They also make good games like Like a Dragon and Persona. Unless this is being done by Sonic Team which it might be.

Not only did that guy sound natural, but it felt like he was at gunpoint.

Watch them spend millions on a 3D sonic and forget these games again.

Sonic decides to take a break and go to a local town, he enters an arcade room and these games are available as mini-games. You can only play each for 2 minutes.

Sega - PLEASE get Yuzo Koshiro back for the SOR soundtrack!

Too bad they forgot Alex Kidd and Phantasy Star.

But hey, we'll take them into our bosom.

The original soundtrack for Streets of Rage has always stuck with me.
It's techno beat just fits and I listen to it often.

I remember dumping buckets of quarters at my local arcade on Shinobi. I've been trying to master the speed run on the boss
statue level when you hit the ninja magic at just the right moment and clip threw them all to the end.

Makes me remember when Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX was released. You know, it's nice to hear that Sega goes back on keeping some of its older game franchises alive.

They made some good games even YEARS before Sonic.

Music is amazing, I tell ya.

Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis is pretty recent and still supported... and there's been a wealth of PSO games over the past couple of decades - only the 32bit gen really missed out.

What they actually forgot was Outrun.

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.

They won't keep this up, its SEGA.

Fair point, but I was hoping for a new offline Phantasy Star.

Regarding Outrun, I think they hit the nail in the head with the last one. It's pretty much what Outrun could hope to be.
Too bad there's no recent home ports or remasters.

SEGA don't make Persona games, Atlus does. Also because how relevant Sonic has been for the past decade of so (excluding Yakuza), it was kinda of the only IP that survived after the Dreamcast failed ( you could say I'm wrong but...Sonic has gotten so many games that NiGHTs Journey to Dreams & Billy Hatcher are kinda irrelvant).

 

[duwen]

They should revive Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, but as a GTA clone.

Sega owns Atlus. It's like saying "Sony doesn't make the Last of Us games Naughty Dog does" they own Naughty Dog. The point was they do have other games besides Sonic. The Makers of Yakuza (now known as Like a Dragon) have made more games than any dev the last decade and none of them have been Sonic.

Just because they own them doesn't mean they make them.

Stop being a fucking asshole. Everyone knows it's the same thing you're just here to nitpick at people and be negative. Go outside and get some sun for once video games aren't everything.

By your logic Sega doesn't make Sonic games either Sonic Team does. No one fucking cares except you.
