See that mountain? You can rollerblade up it
The reboot of noughties gemJet Set Radioteased with ruthless efficiencyduring The Game Awards has had a smidge of new information revealed. For being such a small detail, though, it’s a very intriguing - if perhaps a tad predictable - one indeed.
While Sega’s TGA tease showed off a scant few split-seconds of gameplay for the new Jet Set Radio, the studio’s parent company Sega Sammy dropped an extra morsel of info in arecent slide deckfrom an internal meeting.
The implication that the reboot will give the series its first fully open world is supported by the next bit of text, which says that players will “Experience the ‘rebellion’ movement that feels free in a suffocating society. Make friends, increase your fans, and create a movement!”
It’s not much to go on, but it definitely gestures at an open world to explore at your leisure - and the mention of “creating a movement” has me suddenly hoping for anAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood-style management aspect where I can send out skaters and taggers to take control of Tokyo.
Hopefully we’ll find out more soon, as Jet Set Radio’s developers - who include a number of the original team - work to give thehugely influential seriesits first original game in over two decades.
