Hello Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man since I saw you coming in
Let's have a toast for the girl in Aisle 10
This game kicks so much ass. I played it on the 360 but thinking about replaying it on Xbox Original now I got component cables since certain areas on the Xbox 360 version hit 10fps or less. After playing the original on Dreamcast I was so disappointed by how slow it felt compared to the sequel.

Yeah, I ended up buying an OG Xbox to play JSRF on because of the horrible BC on the 360. I got one BRAND NEW on eBay, never opened or anything, for $200. I thought it was a great deal, but it's the last model they released. Something about the graphics chip makes it so that you can't play some Sega games in 480p, which is really upsetting. However, the JSRF/Sega GT bundle works fine in 480p, which is nice.
ANYWAY, all the more reason for an HD version to be released. Glorious 1080p and a solid frame rate would be wonderful. I worry about the soundtrack, though. Confident all of the important

As amazing as JSRF is, the changes made it so much less intense than JSR.
The fenced of areas you fight the cops in is really lame, for starts the fence just appears from nowhere... Then you barge and tag the cops with ease.
Now in JSR the cops chase you around the city, to attempt a large tag is risky, so you need to get them out of the way before they get serious... They end up sending fucking choppers worth missile launches at you which seems a tad excessive but it's cool and intense!
All that is lost in JSRF, the only risk is falling.
I think JSR is the better game even though JSRF controls better, looks better, sounds better etc

Jesus Christ. I think I need to lie down.
Simply my favorite game, ever. Nothing else plays like it...except the original game.
Absolutely not. That song is one of the soundtrack's highlights. When I first played JSRF I thought it was terrible, but it slowly grew on me. Now it's one of my favorite tracks.

Jet Set Radio is one of the best games I've ever played. Jet set Radio Future is my GOAT. I loved the huge levels, and thanks to the improvements they made on the controls, you could actually traverse whole levels in a minute or so. I have like three copies of the game, and I've played it to completion several times.
Just give me a reason to buy it multiple times again Sega.

... Oh, I forgot that SEGA only cares about f2p games now
I prefer the original because of the timer. JSRF suffers from a lack of urgency for me. I also prefer JSRs level design even though its less open then Future. And the soundtrack is better in the first game.
I'd still love to see a re-release of JSRF though.
I like Birthday Cake though.

Yeah, I hated the song too. But eventually it became a favorite. That whole soundtrack blends to fucking well I want to go play it right now.

I really love the original game never got to play Future and HD version would be fantastic and I would buy it day one.

I've been holding out for an HD remaster for years now, but I've recently bought a component cable for my Xbox and will try playing it some more this week. I doubt I'll find time for another full play-through though. Hopefully Sega will come to their senses and let us play it in glorious HD on a modern system soon.
The soundtrack is awesome and I listen to it regularly. My username can attest to that.
I agree Future is the superior game in all ways. Although the graffiti quick time events of the third was good. I wish we'd get a kickstarter or something for a third game if Sega ain't gonna bother.

No, the staff has been split up and done work on games like Yakuza and Sega-themed party games (don't remember which ones) if I recall correctly.

Opinion invalidated right there, JSRF is a good game but it doesn't surpasst he original.
Argh! Goddammit NO! That's not the complaint JSR fans have with Future. The problem isn't that it's easier.. it's that it's missing all the core gameplay!! Future removed essentially anything that resembled an obstacle to the player in the first game. There was a thread a here about JSRF a long time ago, that had a quote that I thought explained what JSR fans dislike about Future very well.
Future felt like a game with all the enemies and challenges stripped out.. leaving the player to simply navigate a dead world hunting collectibles (which is basically what the graffiti had been reduced to as well). It's not that it was easier, it's that it seemingly missed the whole goddamned point.
Also Professor K sucked in Future.
Sounds better than JSRF already.

As someone who loved JSRF and considers it one of his favourite games of all time, I didn't play the original until the HD treatment and I feel like playing it in that order did it no favours. More restrictive gameplay, worse controls, it doesn't hold a candle to Future in my eyes.

Yup, JSRF is more of an "experience" than a game, great visuals and music... The only challenge is making the jumps and timing the rail tricks.
The challenge is tacked on in the form of the caged fight with police, I wanted to be chased by military man!

JSRF has one of the best music tracks in gaming imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvm3pU_hTK4
Same, I don't think I even got past the tutorial/first level or whatever in the HD version.

I still have mine packed up somewhere but no xbox to play it. I absolutely loved this game, why the dreamcast version got the hd treatment and not this....I'll never know.
Well, as is par for the course with Jet Set Radio threads... OP started it out with JSR vs JSRF.

I love JSR, but getting a 50 combo in that level is not exactly the easiest thing to do in the game...
Yep. It wouldn't be JSRF without the crazy Birthday Cake song.

Considering it's a fair bit better than the first AND it has controls and a camera that bleating works? God yes. Release, please.

JSRF is great, just very different from JSR in terms of design.
It's a tragedy that it didn't get the HD treatment, since it runs like shit emulated on 360, and it's too much trouble to wip out the OG Xbox.
I don't think it will happen, when even a portion of the fanbase feels the need to point out how bad and sacrilegious it was, to move away from the more arcade elements of the first one, to a more console collectathon style platformer.
If there was ever a campaign to bring it back, i think you'd see a lot of fans voice their opinion to not do it, which makes me sad, since i love both JSR and JSRF equally, for different reasons.
Then again when JSRHD came out, a lot of reviews shat on it for the bad controls, so who knows?

a completely optional thing that i imagine most skip shouldnt be the barometer if the controls are good is my point
its a hacky argument that ive seen brought up numerous times like its some trump card
Hideki Naganuma retweeted someone playing it on the 360 today and i didnt know just how bad the glitches could get

On that I agree. It just always stood out to me as a weird thing to put into the tutorial of all places.

Thought it was pretty bullshit how you unlocked the music of it in the HD game instead of just releasing it. I loved it more than the original as a kid but IDK if I'll feel the same today.
