2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

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.

[–] aCosmicWave@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well said. I fully agree.

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 17 points 2 years ago

Oh fuck yeah new JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOO

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I dunno, bomb rush may have stolen their lunch. Can jet set reclaim their throne?

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well BRCF has one Naganuma track, so by that metric Bomb Rush is in the lead by a wide margin.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ngl tho, Im still gonna buy it if the reviews are good. I assumed JSRF had been replaced by BRCF, so Im over the moon about there being 2 franchises about graffiti on wheels

[–] moxcie@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

BRCF was excellent, but I could always use more. I’ve still got my Dreamcast and my Xbox connected to my tv and both have jsr/jsrf in them. So I’m all for more options!

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Nah, jet set radio is better. You can take more hits, there's more characters, you move faster, and that's just start of why Jet Set Radio is better than BoMb RuSh

[–] AliasWyvernspur@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years 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.

[–] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The SEGA at the end caught me off guard.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Oh man, these all look great. I knew there were images floating around from a new Jet Set Radio game, but the rest were a complete surprise. Obviously too early to tell how the games will turn out, but it's good to see Sega doing something new with their old IPs instead of just doing re-releases.

[–] Joker@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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