Release: November 2001 Genre: Action

For those lucky enough to view this title in Sega's private booth at E3, Jet Set Future was said to be a really amasing game to behold. While the game was only 10% complete, Jet Set Future displayed some amasing graphic detailed effects to show each characters likeness along with the excellent background. The Xbox has apparently been very good to the franchise. Each character has had an overhaul of effects hosted by jagged speed-lines that now color their movements, and full-screen motion blurs are used to emphasize particularly intense moments and the particle effects used in the grinds have been sufficiently altered, looking sharper and fuller. Smilebit did an excellent job on recreating all stages in a wonderful 3D layout that can only lead to much greater and more interactive environments.

The actual video shown at E3 looked alot similar to the first stage in Jet Grind Radio. It was a very simliar scene at the bus depot, but with the new 3D layout and redesigned characters.

The fist three characters shown were Beat(the first games main character)who was wearing a different shirt than in the first, Then there was Gum, the lady friend of Beat in the first game. She was wearing a slim tan dress and she now carries a more mature grownup look to her figure. The third person shown was what appeared to be a redesigned version of Tab. He wore a rather large funky looking hat and his trade mark light blue colors.

A Smilebit rep stated that Jet Set Future was going to be a totally different experience from the first. He went on to add that the trick system will supposedly be beefed up, allowing for multiplayer combos and gravity-defying grinds. Both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes will exist in the game, but no major details of either mode was given just yet....

Be sure to check back here often as for I plan to keep adding pictures and more information on Jet Set Future soon!
