We all remember well his short but intense intervention opinion At The Game Awards 2023, with the announcement of 5 games together by the Japanese company, intending to return them to the stage Jetset Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage and Crazy Taxi (And many others): Let us see some of them Pictures and details About the games in question, now.
It’s one image for each title, but it tells us something about each title, considering that in addition to the reference main art, it’s possible to see some accompanying screenshots, as well as various details that better explain the remakes in question.
Crazi Taxi simply aims to replicate the original experience in a modern version, but not by much.
The style seems to be classic, that is, a purely arcade driving game within an open world environment, with the need to complete missions within a set time, while transporting strange characters from one point to another in the polygonal city of San Francisco.
Historical returns with different versions
Golden Ax is a completely remake, applying 3D to the structure of the classic combat fighting game. In this case, the characters and settings are classic, as are the game situations, but the addition of a third dimension and third-person view tweaks the overall experience somewhat.
Jet Set Radio brings back the special future hip-hop aesthetic that made the original famous.
In this case, too, we find ourselves forced to lead a youth rebellion against the police state that dominates the Tokyo of the future, as we run on skates around the city and put up murals around it.
Shinobi is perhaps the most faithful remake, in terms of structure and gameplay. Like the original game, this also presents itself as a scrolling action game, with a classic 2D structure but with a new graphic design, which nevertheless maintains the Japanese mythology atmosphere of the classic chapter. Armed with the legendary sword Oborozuki, we find ourselves forced to fight evil once again.
Finally, Streets of Rage: Revolution continues the urban scrolling fighting game series that made history for Sega consoles. In the role of a former officer, we find ourselves having to deliver justice in the violent streets with strikes, in a new version with new graphics but with a traditional gameplay.
Sega announced Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi with a trailer at The Game Awards 2023, and also promised other historical returns in the near future. At the same time, we learned that some of the authors of the originals were directly involved in these modifications.
