Jet Set Radio coming to XBL/PSN

One of my favorite Dreamcast games.

Never played it, but judging by the reactions of many after that announcement, I will be now.

[bdoughty]

If you liked the early Tony Hawk games, this is more of the same, except on inline skates and graffiti. I preferred the original but the sequel on the Xbox was pretty good also. Sega does not go into what exactly will be involved (I am hoping both JSR and JSR Future with some actual HD graphics, not just throwing out it was made for 720p). I just hope they do not pull a lazy ass port like with Crazy Taxi.


Speaking of ports, this an area where EA is missing the boat with XBL/PSN. HD versions of Mutant League Football and Road Rash? You can't tell me that would not be a profitable endeavor.

[morsdraconis]

I have a friend that's trying to sell these games for the 360 (all prices are shipped to anywhere in US):

Deadly Premonition - $12
Deathsmiles - $20
Rock Band 2 - $5
Darksiders - $12

All games are basically brand new with everything in the box and the disc is in perfect condition.

PM your stuff if you're interested and I'll pass it along to him.

Whoo-hoo!!!!

Fuck, yes.

[morsdraconis]

Fuck, yes.

Never gonna happen Jeff. EA is too damn stupid to do it.

I can still hope. I read this last month:
Kotaku: What the Hell is Mutant League Football Doing in NFL Blitz?

I have done my damndest to run down the truth here. First up, on the record, EA Sports officially no-commented all of my questions about Mutant League Football. "We have no announcements at this time," a spokesperson told me. I've been around long enough to know that's boilerplate for "we're not saying anything, but please keep talking about this."

So I then went to sources familiar with the studio and the products built there. Two stories emerged. The first is that, yeah, the rank-and-file development staff wants to bring back Mutant League Football just as much as the fans do. There's a cynical belief, however, that it can't happen.

[morsdraconis]

I would be ECSTATIC for them to bring back Mutant League Football and Road Rash. That would be spectacular on both fronts. I just don't see them doing it because EA doesn't seem capable of doing anything supremely cool like that.

Plus they are on a Midway obsession right now with Blitz and Jam, so I am expecting an announcement of Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl any day now.

Well, between getting the properties when Midway shut down, and then bringing Mark Turmell on, you can't really blame them for thinking those properties would be successful.

No, but then again where is my HD NHL Hitz? My favorite of the batch Midway arcade games. That said I don't think they made a killing with either game. Jam has obviously sold more.

[JeffHCross]

Interesting. I actually liked Hitz the least. Loved Jam in the arcades but never thought it translated to consoles well. Absolutely loved Blitz though, but with the current limitations of the NFL license (another reason Mutant League makes more sense), I don't see it as nearly as much fun. Plus the fact that I've matured, I suppose.

I Am Alive (Ubisoft) Developer Diary

Hits XBL March 7th

[bdoughty]

Just a note regarding the Jet Set Radio game. It will be on XBL/PSN and on the PC.

First screens

[morsdraconis]

It's already on the PC. It's called a perfectly working Dreamcast emulator.
