I just want a PSO3 with the same melancholic tone as PSO1 and with an active dodge.

Actually my dream is for it to straight up have Souls-style combat but I know it gets annoying with people saying everything should be like Souls. But it's only because Souls games made me feel very much like PSO did back when.

SEGA says reveal of IP revivals is “just the start of our initiative”

One of the biggest announcements from The Game Awards this past week was SEGA’s reveal of multiple IP revivals. Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Streets of Rage were all confirmed to…

IPs shown at the VGA were targeted for western audience (Megadrive/Dreamcast), i'm pretty sure a bunch of Saturn's IPs or RPGs are kept for jp events 😎

Honestly it felt like first wave/phase 1 kind of trailer. And for them it was a LOT considering we also have a new Sonic, Yakuza/Judgment, and Persona all in development too. I just dont know how many games (with decent budgets) SEGA can have in development all at once. Its a radical change from the way they were operating a few years ago. I wonder if they even have the budget and resources to take on anymore big games till these are released (as Sonic, Yakuza, and Persona are also coming with them)

The general melancholy feeling, the deliberate combat (though it's likely thay was in part due to internet speeds at the time), and the sense of exploring a hostile world.

Plus you run around these environments doing the same three hit combo over and over again!

yeah, there definitely was a melancholy feeling, and the world was hostile at that
i can't honestly tell you want direction i'd like to see PSO go in to return to any of that feel, i just know its current one isn't it for me

true but that series doesn't really have much in common with the single player classics these days

that said, much like seeing shining force on that list, both series had such swan songs & i don't know how much of either team remains (rip camelot) or what i'd want from them

phantasy star iv ended the series so nicely, and honestly shining force iii is incredible & just ought to see a proper localized release somehow

For me, I'd like to see it take a more story focused approach and just... bring back the thrill of rare item finding.

If not a story focused approach then maybe look to Xenoblade Chronicles X for its environmental storytelling / worldbuilding.

Hey, I'm not saying I agree haha... but that's how Sega sees it. They put "Phantasy Star" as a whole under current IP.

Considering how unreliable RGGS is with their own Kiwami games, they should be banned from touching anyone elses. Not to mention how no one needs remakes of Shenmue 1&2 (3 is up for grabs since that game was never finished), but we need the series to move forwards, not backwards.

It would just be a waste of RGG's own resources when they could be better used in either thrusting the main LAD games forward or doing something different. Shenmue thankfully isn't Sega's problem anymore

I guess I was right

JSR is a Super Game. The recruitment page for that has been replaced by hiring for JSR.
It's made in the same division as PSO2 and that division is confirmed to focus on GaaS through interviews.
It's also the farthest away, pre production makes sense considering 2025 is the earliest the Super Game was said to release. They consider it to be AAA from the criteria that was on that job post graphic and criteria that they mentioned for Super Game...but not looking like that for now lol

OK based on both of these interviews, it seems like they did relocate all the people who were working on JSR project from Division 4 (mobile Division) to Division 3 (Online Division)

I hope they remake PSO. That would be the best game announcement ever for me. New Genesis just didn't hit the same way as the original.

That's.. concerning. JSR is not the kind of project you dump that kind of money into. As much as I love that Sega is giving it attention, I do not think it has the appeal to drive a Gaas game, especially not one with the resources they said are going into these 'super games'. JSR is a series that would do well with a moderate budget releases. There's a ton of new fans now and interest thanks to bomb rush.

And regardless, I feel that most fans would rather just have a normal release instead. Because two things I don't want to think about as a JSR fan: If the service shuts down, is it going to become lost media? If it flops what happens to the series?

Why try to capture a mass audience when you know good and well that you only have a small but dedicated fanbase?

I would hate to lose faith immediately, but if this is the case, it's going to be a big uphill battle to make this a success.

Division 3, huh? 🤔 They have good and varied projects currently. The shift of the JSR team from Division 4 to 3 would explain the increase in developers in that division.

I wonder what the thought process behind this was. I was sure JSR was dead because of how the remaster didn't do well despite being on everything at the time. But if they're making it GaaS then they must have faith the IP can sell. I wonder if Fortnite being cartoony and having dancing convinced them to give JSR another go.

I need to see more before I can really solidify my feelings on this. I loved JSR (still haven't played Future, really hoped Sega would remaster that one but guess not) but JSR with grinding to unlock everything sounds like it could get boring quick. I refuse to drop money on in-game currencies or finite items.

Gunvalkyrie being a single game IP locked to the orignal Xbox probably puts it at the bottom of the list. Sega should port their original Xbox lineup to modern platforms. I'm sure Otogi could sell more with From Soft being a household name.

I have a strange affinity for 3D brawlers. I know they're often not very good, which is certainly how this one may end up, but I may enjoy it regardless. I'm one of those people who thought Fighting Force was the coolest. So let's hold on hope and give Streets of Rage one of my votes.

Jet Set Radio gets my other vote. I liked JSRF, but I think maybe more for its aesthetics than from actually playing it. But maybe that could suffice. And it just looks like the one out of these that's getting the most oomph, doesn't it?

Never got to play a Crazy Taxi. Iffy on whether I'd be into it. I like its arcade sensibilities in one sense, but am also put off by them as I tend to dislike the stress of time limits. I wanna play, not stress.

Don't really feel anything towards Shinobi or Golden Axe.

That wouldnt take much effort so its possible. I just think we shouldnt be expecting big new installments on the level of JSR and Crazy Taxi for a lot of the IPs they mentioned.

The last financial report had the first "super game" releasing by March 2026. If JSR is that game then I have no idea why the insider in this thread is repeatedly saying its targeting 2024

That easy headline clearly only happened because the interviewer specifically put it to them. You haven't seen anyone at Sega actively come out and say they want to return to Burning Rangers like they did with Samba of late, plus like another wonderful fan favourite Skies of Arcadia, it notably hasn't ever cropped up in any of the 'IP Utilisation' talk throughout SegaSammy's recent IRs.

The tragedy is with titles like these - BR suffered because of the Saturn and Skies was failed twice over, selling dreadfully on both the Dreamcast and the GameCube. I'd love them to return more than any others as they do have so much more untapped creative potential and strong characters, but I am realistic. So Billy Hatcher revival here we come... (I don't even like that one lmao)

Rogues are non linear by nature, you will never see the same thing twice, while arcade games are linear. Although, I think adding a rogue mode to a potential Golden Axe game would be perfect.

Its still baffling to me the latest Sakura Wars is a ps4 exclusive. No wonder it failed when they put it on the platform with the second best sales in a declining console market.

We know another one of the developers for one of the 3d action games. Either Golden Axe and Streets of Rage are made with an american developer called Komi Games

This news deflated my hype for Streets of Rage somewhat (I'm sure that's the one they're making), I really wanted to like Mighty Fight Federation but it just felt so stiff and awful to me. Hopefully it's a more traditional beat 'em up that doesn't play anything like that game did.
