New Jet Grind Radio!

I despise Kotaku... but whatever...

Hopefully it's being developed by a good number of the former Smilebit team.

Booo I dont wanna play it on the Wii I wanna see it on PS3 or 360!

Who cares what it's on? I just want it done properly.

Time to dust out the old Dreamcast and relive the original.

I just hope it resembles the original more than the sequel. JSRF pretty much turned into a really frustrating platformer on skates.

I love them both.  Although I missed the more figurative graf controls in the original, I thought most of the areas in JSRF are better designed for long continuous runs (with a couple of frustrating exceptions, like the skyscrapers in Pharaoh's Park).  Neither game is perfect, but they're both up there among my all-time favorites.

Who cares what it's on?

I do.

Hardware constraints.

Not to mention that it'll most likely have fucked up controls that we'll have to get used to. I'm sure it'll be something like use the wiimote to spray paint.

Using the Wiimote to paint makes more sense than using a stick, especially for the big tags that require multiple strokes.

To me it seems much easier to just use a controller. Having to aim the wiimote at a big sign(which most likely will be inaccurate and you'll waste more paint anyway) doesn't make the game any funner, and more than likely it won't provide more gameplay options.

I respond to you with Madworld. Discuss.

And I respond with the simple question of what if they had more horsepower behind that game? Makes you wonder don't it?

We've already seen Jet Set on hardware of similar or more power. So it'll be nothing more than a re-hash with dick waving moments. Which is probably why they are releasing it on the Wii. Jet Set wasnt the biggest seller so why invest the money to move it to the more powerful yet costly hardware when you can just port the old games with ease and add in some wavey wand gimmick.

i dont think they would devolp a jet set on the real consoles so its this or nothing.

Though everything can be simplified like that. For example : Oh, it's just a rehash with the exact same gameplay, only more advanced graphics. 

Just like  SMG and Super Smash Bros Brawl, Jet Set radio is all about Art / Style over technical limitations..  Even the original Dreamcast game has qualities and artisti flair over most so-called "next generation" console graphics of today. 

Then again, i don't see any console that powerful after being used to PC titles for so long, I see the art direction,  original, impeccably executed ideas and core gameplay that are true to console gaming. Funny how most of them are on the 'technically limited' Wii.  


Ild much rather SEGA team-up with in house Nintendo to develop the game exclusively on Wii, theres a high chance it'll > any PS3/360 version. 

Currently playing:
Korg DS 10 (ds) /  Metal Slug 7 (ds)
Rhythm Heaven (ds) /  Fire Emblem (ds)
Super Stardust HD (psn) /  Virtua Fighter 5 (360)

As an artist myself (or a has been one at least) I much prefer to use newer more advanced techniques. So that whole art excuse is more bs to me honestly. I'd want as much freedom to express my art as possible.

VF5, getting owned, yet again.

Will it ever end...

I rebut with a lack of anything but an announcement trailer.

It looks pretty enough, but the Wii's largest problem isn't that it's graphics don't look good enough. People assume that the only advantage held with beefier internals is graphics, and that's a load of bunk.

...No.

Jet Grind Radio was one of the best looking games on the Dreamcast at the time. Unlike you, developers don't say "Our game is fun to play, fuck graphics altogether! They're unimportant and irrelevant in the quality of a title!".

Let's get real here VF. Features are getting dropped altogether from Wii ports of games because they just can't run on eight year old hardware. It's not feasible. Graphical prowess is only an indicator of it's hardware constraints.

Whatever the game is, it'd be better with a longer draw distance, crisper textures, more enemies on screen, advanced physics, and more intelligent AI.

Then again, i don't see any console that powerful after being used to PC titles for so long,

Your PC performs blumpkins at the feet of God Almighty Himself alright? We get it. You can stop talking about your rig like you're trying to sell it to us. Most of us here have high-end gaming rigs, and all of us know that PC games look better than their console counterparts. None of us need reminding.

Some things about 1 were better, some things about 2 were better.

Fuck graphics altogether? Unimportant? Irrelevant? you obviously think low of Wii's capabilities!! and who's said any of that? Quite a jump from me saying that artistic flair plays a big role in the JSR seris, after all it was it's artistic flair that helped it stand out from the crowed  and ultimately started the cell-shading trend.

Sounds like you'll be happy with an old school Jet Set Radio HD, yes, it would be nice but  i on the other hand wants to be pleasantly surprised by a totally new re-invented JSR.

You don't understand my logic, It's aimed at 360/ps3 owners constantly looking down at Wii hardware specs (a good example is the statement you made which caused this rant).

 USE the PC as the 'Power Example', not fucking 360.  Be a hardware whore properly or not atall. 360/ps3 is technically middle road shit for the true graphic whores. simple logic.

"Sounds like you'll be happy with an old school Jet Set Radio HD, yes, it would be nice but  i on the other hand wants to be pleasantly surprised by a totally new re-invented JSR."

Please tell me what crazy innovative feature could possibly be implented better on the Wii as opposed to something with more powerful hardware. What spraying a wall with uber realistic motions? Yes I would want a totally new re-invented JSR, but I want that new to be unrestrained. I mean just the color pallette alone would make it stand out on other consoles. So yes an HD Jet Set Radio would be nice but who says you can't innovate at the same time?

Is this game going to be full priced? I just can't see myself paying for an xbox1 game that I payed for 3 times already.

You don't want Halo 4?

Why are people still  hating on the Wii? Everyone already knows that the tech-savvy crowd is displeased.

Do me  a favor, next time you see a Wii game thread just copy and paste this:

"I wish this game was on a more powerful console, and the wiimote doesn't enhance games in any way that interests me."

It will save me the trouble of reading the same damn argument every time.


Personally, I think any news about a new JSR is good news. If we didn't have the Wii, we probably wouldn't even be discussing a follow-up.

You don't want Halo 4?

What does this have to do with anything? Of course I want Halo 4. I also want this new JGR, but I want it done right, and I just don't think that will happen on the Wii.

I am assuming you bought Halo 1-3,  but i was just joking.
For some reason I never got the Dreamcast original..
And I really wanted to. Played the demo alot.  No I must have had borrowed it or something, because the isn't long enough.

When you say 'done right' you based on the Wii's graphics or controls?

Never played Future but the Dreamcast has only one analog also.

When you say 'done right' you based on the Wii's graphics or controls?

Both. Why settle for one thing when you could have something better?

Thats crazy dangerous talk there mister. Best to not go around upsetting the order of things.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

So you want the game to be released for high end PC?  That's the only platform without sacrifices. Why settle for any console ever, based on your standards? 

You don't want Halo 4?

I don't, they should have stopped after the first one.  Bungie doesn't have the talent to do their own franchise justice.

Hey as you quoted me I didn't mention consoles either I simply said the best hardware out there. So yes I beefed up high end PC would be ideal for anything. But that was my argument for artistic expression that gets thrown around to defend the Wii. Now if we're to factor in a realistic budget, then Wii is still abysmal and too limiting. A few dollars more gets you a better deal with the 360. Which is all I'm saying. The Wii is a weak overpriced device, but do to the savings to publishers in making a game for it they will throw those critically acclaimed but not quite a commercial success games on it and skip out and a total overhaul. Not only does it save more it reduces risk. And its a damn shame.

So yes for yours and Virtua Fighters argument I had an answer as well. And I worded it that way on purpose.
