Yeah it'll bomb but surely if they made it like the first game it wouldnt cost that much to makde? Like i dont get how sumo digital can make an indie racing arcade game and sega cant do the ssme with crazy taxi
I feel the tagging in JSRF is just more satisfying than the awkward combos of the first one, mainly because it lets you do graffiti without stopping your running or grinding. But I've played JSRF first, so that's what maybe skewed my judgement
An "ultimate remaster" later could be a good test.
Sega is revisiting slowly many franchises lately: Banana Mania, VF5US, Sonic Ultimate and let others devs rebooting the rest like the new Shining Force...
