It's the decade of remakes.

As long as they're good I'm all for it

Damn that's heartbreaking. Genesis was not only my first console; the earliest conscious memory I have of my life is playing Sonic 2 with my Mom. I know it's probably different people at the company making these decisions, but retro SEGA means a lot to me and my journey as a person.

Don’t let stuff like this tarnish your memories please. Many of the clothes we wear, food we eat, and products we purchase most likely involved some form of injustice during production or shipping.

It’s not your fault that you were born into a broken system. You found joy in spending time playing with your mom. There is absolutely nothing more innocent than that! Try to be a decent person in your local community and don’t internalize this kind of news too much. Anything else is guaranteed to be a recipe for a miserable life.

Well said. I fully agree.

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Their publishing policies have been terrible lately as well. CA is getting the juice pressed out of them.

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 19 points 9 months ago

Oh fuck yeah new JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOO

[–] AliasWyvernspur@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

The Crazy Taxi license plate was a nice touch. I saw that and knew it was going to be Crazy Taxi (which I loved). SoR, CT and JGR were games I loved playing and can't wait to play new versions of.

The SEGA at the end caught me off guard.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 9 points 9 months ago

Legit me when I saw Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.

[–] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[–] Joker@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

Streets of Rage looks awesome. I’m also excited about Golden Axe. I spent so many hours playing that on Sega Genesis. I hope the remake turns out good.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

I feel like the CIA guy the government wants for "just one more job" in the movies. Well fuck, I guess it's time to lace up my skates and pop the fatcaps on the cans...

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 9 months ago

Oh shit. Golden Axe be looking kinda Soulslike. That would be dope as fuck!

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Did they miss the memo on Armored Core 6? If they're bringing back a Dreamcast franchise, it's Virtual On

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works -5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They all like kidna bad ngl

jet set radio lost all the charm it had by just slapping a botw like filter over the characters, wheres then style? and the others just look so generic as hell, like what happened?

[–] Zeroc00l@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'll probably wait for more than a few seconds of gameplay footage to form an opinion.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

teaser and trailers exist to make you excited for the actual product, than again trailers rarely do so for a number of years now

[–] Zeroc00l@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Kind of sounds like you just aren't into video games anymore, or at least the same ones you used to be. Also everyone is probably feeling massive reboot and sequel fatigue at this point.

But yeah I'll wait for some actual reviews on YT before thinking about buying any of these.

To me it looks more like a modern manga/anime (more detail, smoother gradients) vs the original that paid homage to (classic?) manga (black and white / block colour).
