The aesthetic feel, combined with nearly unrivaled freedom set to an impressive soundtrack, all turned Jet Set Radio (or Jet Grind Radio) into a wonderful piece of gaming history that is nearly unparalleled. Notably, it was the first video-game title that used cel-shading instead of what was the era-specific standard of manga aesthetics.
There are a couple of things to be gleaned from the very brief trailer: multiple characters, grinding, and a whole host of banging tunes from the legendary Hideki Naganuma: the same original composer from Jet Set Radio that gave us the tunes that still bounce around in our heads after its release back in 2000. The developer is clearly bringing their comfort with the pop-art that they perfected with Lethal League Blaze and bringing about a fast-paced action-adventure title that will have you scooting around a city in a clear nod to the title of Jet Set Radio.Ī pretty bold move for the game industry to make their own sequel from a beloved game that never really got a fair shake coming from Team Reptile, we can presume that we’ll experience a slew of features.Ī fifteen-second teaser has gone viral almost immediately, overwhelming Team Reptile’s social media accounts with people that are desperate to learn more about the newly announced title.
