Well the caterpillar design here matches up with the concept art found in the artbook, so that definitely says something.

I'm still leaning real but I don't think it's a confirmed thing for me either way:
  • Footage is supposedly from 2021 which would track with the Bloomberg report timings of Sega re-utilising JSR and Crazy Taxi IPs again, with JSR being some kinda GAAS model game.
  • People here are saying the Sonic Frontiers footage has enough significant differences to it to seem like a genuine earlier build of the game.
  • If this footage is real, I'm willing to believe this is from an investor meeting with the bare minimum done presentationally just to illustrate what is being worked on for investors.
  • This would explain the potential use of Yukari's P3D model and Akechi's bow, depending on how early in dev this is it's entirely possible they'd reuse assets as placeholder.
  • Nobody seems to be able to confirm the JSR proof of concept footage as fake or from another source. This isn't to say it's real, but there's nothing really disproving it. It looks janky, but if this is only to say to investors "we're working on this" a year before Schreier even reported on it being a thing then I'm willing to accept a very janky 5 second video could have been thrown together for investor presentation visuals.
Of course, the account tweeting this is very new, only has these two tweets to its name, and has closed DMs.

There's a good chance they could have planned for this Super Live presentation in advance and thrown together a quick P3D/Soul Hackers 2 mod clip, found some old Sonic Frontiers dev build footage and (if they planned far enough in advance) put together the janky looking JSR vid too.

It'd be very high effort just to troll, but weirder things have happened.

My personal take is it'll be easiest to disprove the Sonic Frontiers and JSR footage. If either of those clips can be found elsewhere online from before these tweets then I'd be far more willing to say this is fake outright.

Ooh I wanna believe so bad, but I can't see anything definitive here. It all looks like it could be faked by people experienced with creating/animating 3D models. But maybe.

That Beat redesign is really good.

Still not really happy the next JSR is a GAAS, though.

At least give me a Future remaster to make up for it 🥺

Long montage of various Sonic footage. Short slice of one scene for games we've never seen before or officially confirmed? Gonna teamreal here

I was excited about JSR until I remembered that it was a GaaS game. The market is already saturated enough by them, let alone one for a niche series like JSR.

Jet Set Radio needs to look more cartoony. I don't care for the current artstyle as much as the old one. It's not bad. Just more mature looking than I hoped for.

Doesn't even need a debate, that early Sonic Frontiers footage is clear proof that it's real. I'm almost more excited seeing that than the glimpse of JSR!

If it helps, as someone who's played a lot of mobage and PSO2, SEGA's GAAS titles are pretty generous and I've never made any purchases in them.
It's not so much about how generous they are. I just want a single player adventure like Future.

Apparently that user had some kind of SEGA survey from Swagbucks with that pic, reminds me of the Armored Core 6 leaks that also came through a feedback survey.

Damn, Combo looks awesome, too.

Comparing this still from the twitter video to Beat's design in that updated concept art image, yeah, it's pretty 1:1 with the concept art clearly being newer or more refined.

JSR is probably real, I saw someone post concept art in a discord from a focus group test that looked similar.

Yeah that

I have faith tbh. Original director and art director is gonna be behind it and it's just good to see Masayoshi Kikuchi coming out of the mobile dungeon after over 10 years. And Sega's IAP model has a decent track record to be generous

BTW Ryuta Udeas artstyle (artist behind original JSR) kind of evolved to be more realistic, here is his character design for his last mobile game:

Having JSR, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Hi-Fi Rush in the same year is too good to be true. #TeamFake

I just don't to get my hopes up and have them cruelly dashed.

Does anyone know/expect them to reveal both P3R and P6 at the Sony event or am I coping because I don't want to wait another fucking year just to see P6...

The new JSR looks cool, I should be freaking out that JSR is back, but yeah Sega wanting it to chase the Fortnite audience has me worried.

You know, I don't think a bunch of teenagers shooting themselves in the head to use their magic demon puppet is gonna fly in 202X whenever a potential remake would actually release, so I wouldn't say this is fake because it's missing.
It's not like teenage suicide wasn't an important topic in 2006 and Persona 3 still released with that as a mechanic. The game even drew very mild controversy at the time but was still ultimately okay.

Whoa, new developments? If it IS real and from a leaked 2021 thing of early footage, there's no relation to any potential announcement.

Ok the JSR game is news to me, that is exciting.

I'm not terribly into P3 but happy if it can get unstuck from PS2/PSP

Considering the recent rumor said Persona 6 was internally delayed to 2024, wouldn't this mean the P3 Remake is releasing this year and therefore announcement is imminent?

I wonder what platforms this will be on. I finally was able to play Persona in bed again with P5R's switch release. Do I have to look into remote play for the P3 remake?

Jet Set Radio art looks rad. Why do ppl expect JSR to be gaas? What does that even mean for a game like JSR?

Hard to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a timed PlayStation console exclusive. I'm pretty sure that was already rumored for P6.

Because Bloomberg reported as much:

www.resetera.com

Bloomberg: Sega Reboots Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio to Chase Fortnite Riches

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-19/sega-reboots-crazy-taxi-jet-set-radio-to-chase-fortnite-riches Big budget and Jet Set Radio aren't what I expect to see paired together but this is a direction I don't mind SEGA pivoting in. Hope they understand the charm and heart is what...
