Jet Set Radio - preview

Sega Dreamcast

SIM graffiti affects modern consoles, with its insolent attitude and crazy style intact Tokyo

Ten years ago, for a few fleeting moments, Sega took some of the most creative developers and boundary-pushing in the company. Its arcade division was impetuous and pumping of the genre-hop rarities such as Crazy Taxi, brave firefighters and Jambo Safari, while considerably Dreamcast had new experiences like Rez, Chu Chu Rocket and Shemue games of imagination, color and extravagance. Games really celebrate his game-ness.

Then there was Jet Set Radio. Developed by Sega Smilebit team (now head of the Yakuza series), this extraordinary adventure against rival gangs against each other graffiti in the streets of Tokyo, marking buildings and vehicles, avoiding the police. There were some characters J-rap/dance/rock soundtrack ridiculous and crazy that reflect a reading of the eighties to nineties crazy New York street culture.

popularlised especially a new way to make 3D images so that each object had a cartoon-like edge of the dark. He called cell-shading, and for awhile everyone did - in fact, many developers are still (see Catherine, Fable 2 and Borderlands Heroes). It was perhaps one of the most important things that occur in polygonal graphics since the introduction of texture mapping, which means that 3D should not be synonymous with photo-realism, that 3D can also be strange and subjective. Modernism was new.

Sega

now brings a new translation for XBLA, PSN and Steam, in 16:9 widescreen high definition. It is an amalgam of the Jet Set Radio original version of the United States, Jet Grind Radio (by adding a few additional maps and new songs), and the update only for Japan, De La Jet Set Radio. The game has three chapters in five areas of Tokyo and the fictional town of Grind, all controlled visually, but still recognizable to fans. Rubber keys selectable characters, tab and Beat are also back, showing his aggressive attitude rude boy still like 2000.

played a brief demonstration of the level of the bus station in Shibuya during a press conference in London last week Sega. As always, the challenge is to find the graffiti left by rival gang members, then cover with yours. While exploring the environments, grinding rails, ramps to jump and do tricks, which are combined together very well, so opening the refreshing pleasure of the first games of Tony Hawks

controls are mapped to two modern analog controllers. The right stick controls the camera, which allows the size of areas and tricks planning easier. Tripping speed is right and the left in the stands before a wall to begin spraying paint

• Labelling
• is a case of copying the instructions on the screen with the left stick to control the jet character. Things feel a little uncomfortable at first, and my skater constantly failing to get straight lines to deceive because the turning radius is very large. But, as in the original, you get the hang of it and start learning the correct paths through the jumps, bridges and traffic stopped. With the countdown to the bottom, the law enforcement officers soon arrived, walking in a kind of monstrous combination of the Thought Police and the Keystone Cops. The game retains its sense of freedom and pressure. It is always fun.
• Sega
• seeks to add additional value to the current version. With online rankings, players are able to create their own labels, each representative I spoke with Sega, there are plans for a freight service that allows graffiti to be shared and appreciated - even if of Other reports suggest that this was rejected. The publisher also plans for downloadable content packs famous graffiti artists (the original labels of the game were created by early collaborator Banksy Inkie). It also comes with trophies and achievements.

The soundtrack has not been fully announced, but some clues may lack because of licensing difficulties. The question is, I suppose, if the title has nothing unique to offer to newcomers.

I think so. As also soon-to-be-updated Pro Skater Tony Hawk, Jet Set Radio talking about a period in the game design, when developers play with open world structure as well as new audiences meet the post-pub, a score of players who wanted their lifestyle is reflected in the games they bought. Whole new genres have emerged. These days were very interesting.
