If they can't get all the music, maybe they could offer a custom soundtrack option, so we could add the music ourselves?
Call me crazy, but I've always like JSRF more. I did play that one a lot more, even though I was a big dreamcast fan. I just never got into the original JSR as much.
Part of my love for the sequel might have something to do with this song also...probably my favorite track from either game ^_^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V4IEV8l-gA

Isn't it a requirement of being a 360 game that you play nice with custom soundtracks? And modding the PC version will be a cinch. Only the PS3 game will be sticking point.
I also like JSRF more.
Bigger world, more characters, longer campaign, multiplayer..
But i also understand some of the critiques, the gameplay was much faster and dynamic, but lost some strategizing for it, and the colors were generally more oppressive, with less use of the primary ones.

I agree, as much as i love JSR, i found JSRF a much more enjoyable experience to actually play, mainly because of the Xbox controller, so much more comfortable than DC controller, and a refined camera view, so many times on JSR the flaky camera caused me to fail a task.
Also, removing the timed levels meant you could actually take your time to explore the amazing environments and not feel under pressure to complete the stage, because some of the levels in JSRF are a thing of beauty.

JSRF is one of my all time favorite games, I never played the first so I'm looking forward to this.

I love both games, but easily love JSRF more.
Anybody dismissing it over JSR obviously didn't get too far in the game.
On level design, pacing, gameplay, and visuals it easily owns JSR.
Bring JSRF HD out this time next year!

I disagree there. JSR had a certain level of strategy in mastering the levels to clear them with the best possible score. That alone makes it head and shoulders above future for me.

No, they've only confirmed that they have about 70% of the original music and are going after the other 30%, since most of the previous licenses have changed hands over the years and it's a bitch and a half tracking all of the new holders down.

Super fucking bummed about no Deavid Soul
Hope there's an elaborate custom soundtrack option in this.

Maybe they should ask Amazon. They're clearly paying somebody for sold Deavid Soul MP3's.

Heh, I'm sure Sega will come up with something then.
And I need Toronto's Electric Tooth Brush in JSRHD's OST as well please!
That Joystiq article listed Electric Toothbrush as one of the songs that was coming back. If it actually got cut I'd be bummed, probably my favorite song from JSR.

Any of Deavid Soul's tracks mixed into Electric Tooth Brush was fucking godly in-game. I felt untouchable the moment Tooth Brush started.

Wow. I find the Dreamcast controller perfectly fine and the xbox one awful personally. Thank god it changed for the 360.
I'd like to play JSRF... on PC... please

Man, this game and the soundtrack brings back so many good memories. I actually went to the only gig Guitar Vader played outside of Japan, must be about eight years ago, in Brighton.
Picked up this shirt at the show and still wear it proudly today.
So lucky. Wish I had went.
How did you get that new tag? lol
Don't start this. It's time for partying, not war.

It's always funny to me that the people saying it should be remembered are people that never liked it in the first place. I liked it in the first place, and I loved it when I just replayed through the game over and over again recently.
But no Deavid Soul would make me cry. He's got 5 songs in the Japanese version, 4 in the US, and they are among the best.
JSR is the game that took me the longest to complete.
I picked it up again last year and my found my last save was dated 2001. I finished off the last few levels finally! I did think how great it would look in HD but it still looked pretty fine in SD over VGA. To be honest most Dreamcast games still look nice over VGA.

I wonder if liking Jet Set Radio AND Jet Set Radio Future is like meeting yourself in Time Cop, could the universe potentially explode?
I like both

Both have their place in my book, especially for different reasons.
Granted, if I had to choose one, I'd go with the first game solely for the tagging mechanics as I liked seeing how fast I could tag.
But again, both are great games.

Just a personal opinion, but if some songs got cut from the game, I'd accept some of Hideki Naganuma's later compositions as acceptable substitutes.
I'd think something like "The Concept of Love", "Oldies But Happies", "Right There, Ride On" or "What U Need" would fit the original Jet Set Radio just fine, although I've admittedly not played much more than the demo the Official Dreamcast Magazine gave out. Maybe "Wrapped in Black", too, but that might be pushing it.

Out of curiosity, which is the missing song from Deavid Soul on the US release? I've got the album Sparkling Music and it'd be neat to know which track was in the Japanese release.

They should have just updated Jet Set Radio Future.

Oh yes! The music in Sonic Rush was fantastic even if the game was 'meh'.
Heck, they could even include Sonic as a playable character!

I could never get used to the controls on the Gameboy version though :/

Smilebit's gone. It wouldn't be the same.
I've always wondered if Smile Burger was some kind of tribute to Smilebit as some of its team member were absorbed into the Yakuza team:
There is a Smile Burger chain in Japan, but afaik it is in Kyoto (not Tokyo) and uses different font and symbol (and features a different menu) than the one in Yakuza.

Was listening to Sparkling Music on my train ride home. Just hearing the sounds in Miller Ball Breakers made me realize how synonymous that song is with JSR for me.
Whenever I see tags around SF, I keep thinking if they're wearing rollerblades too.
I miss playing both games for different reasons (tagging/challenges in JSR and free-roaming, scope of level in JSRF); music is godly in both.

I missed the soundtrack news when it was announced a week or so ago.
It's an absolute pain in the arse that Sega can't get their finger out and at least license the Deavid Soul stuff. That's five tracks right there.
Sparkling Music is up on iTunes at a bargain price. It can't be a money issue.
I can understand stuff from Jurassic 5 and Rob Zombie missing but I won't let them get away with leaving out Deavid Soul.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The missing music is honestly kind of a dealbreaker for me. I love the hell out of Sega for putting forth the effort to rerelease such an awesome game, but man... the soundtrack is such a part of the experience that it's really gonna bug me to have stuff missing. I'll probably still buy the game as a show of support, since it's hardly Sega's fault, but it's disappointing.
Not only i love both, but i didn't even know there was hate for JSRF, until i came on GAF.
It's an action arcade game.
You skate around various areas, in a non linear fashion, and have to place graffiti in predetermined spots.
To place a graffiti, you have to perform a few moves with the analog stick, so it takes some time (the bigger the graffiti, the more moves you have to perform) and you have several "foes" tailing you, trying to stop you.
This is the basic gameplay, then there are races with other skaters and stuff.
