Jet Set Radio coming to PS Vita: screens and info

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Sega have just announced that Jet Set Radio is coming to PS Vita. Apparently it?ll feature upgraded HD visuals, the original soundtrack and will make use of the ?Vita?s unique functionality?.

As well as touchscreen graffiti painting it?ll also include some sort of Vita camera integration. My guess is that you?ll be able to take pictures you can use as stickers in the game. It?ll be playable at this year?s E3. A PS3 version will also be available on the PSN in the summer.

SEGA must be really desperate to push this.

I couldn't care less about this game, but SONY must bring PaRappa the Rapper to the PS3 and we will talk.

Too little too late for a dead platform.

Too little too late for a dead platform.

lol

1.5 million in a 6 month time period is hardly a "dead platform" - even if it keeps up at this slow pace (which is unlikely, a price drop and expanded library will increase the pace) it already will outpace consoles like the Gamecube and XBOX, and will probably match the N64 in terms of install base over a five year period - and those platforms were home to some of the greatest games of all time.

Stop being such a negative nancy! :p

So it will outpace dead consoles, in an age of next nextgen, I still regret buying this crud as does everyone (five people) locally I know who bought one. In the UK there has been no new releases for games since launch, other than unit 13, and that was terrible.

Gravity Rush is out next month - http://www.metacriti...ta/gravity-rush

Disgaea 3 came out last month - http://www.metacriti...ce-of-detention but it's a port of a console title.

It's been 3 months since launch, you're suppose to supplement the launch titles with things like minis, PSN titles and PSP games. No console or handheld has ever had it's best lineup in 3 months.

With E3 weeks away I think people should be a little more patient, besides Jet Set Radio I've posted 4 topics (1 2 3 4) of titles coming to Vita in the next few months in the past week.

It is really clear he feels as if the Vita is an absolute failure, and he is without a doubt entitled to that opinion.

I actually posted this on Kotaku last night in the story about Jet Set, and it is exactly how I feel about things.

Sincere question... are there people that the Vita is the only gaming console they own?

If so, I can possibly relate to the doom and gloom people automatically flock to on any mention of it.

If most owners are indeed like myself, and the Vita is a handheld gaming device they own in addition to a full fledged console, or all 3 consoles along with a gaming PC, then how anyone can view the Vita as nothing less than kick ass is beyond me.

The games are starting to come. It actually had a few very, very good launch titles. It is only going to get better with time. Announcements such as this one are without any doubt highlighting the fact the potential to get better with time is a given.

I truly look forward to a price drop just so the rest of the gaming world out there who has yet to take the plunge can do so and experience how the Vita actually is hands down the best portable gaming system out there.

This is a Day 0 purchase for me, meaning the money is already spent. Just release it.

So yeah, people are obviously entitled to feel it is a dud, I just could not disagree more, in fact it has exceeded my expectations, then again I never expected it to replace any of my consoles. Just to provide another gaming option. And Rayman, Wipeout, Hotshots Golf, Super Stardust & most recently Pinball Arcade have provided me so far with exactly what I expected and wanted. The opportunity to play games on a mobile device with real controls.

Scariest thing is... probably not! PS Vita has been heavy tanking in Japan lately!

As soon as i can go pick up a Ps Vita , LBP and this then Im sold till then its a pass sadly. There are a few titles i.e Wipeout and Uncharted, Resistance is just out so that too.

But yeh LBP for me.

As far as Jet Set on any console is concerned im all for it in a big big big way, not least of all as i used to be a very competant graff artist and also as the game itself is fantastic, slick, sexy and stylish. Total classic and anyones who never enjoyed JSR then go! go now! get this in your life its awesome.
