During last week's Game Awards, the studio announced that it would be reimaging and expanding on a bunch of its fan-favourite franchises, with Jet Set Radio being but one of the series to receive the 'surge' treatment. This information comes from a recent Washington Post interview with Shuji Utsumi, SEGA's co-chief operating officer and SEGA of America CEO, where he spoke a little about what an idea like Jet Set Radio could mean today:The concept of games like ‘Jet Set Radio’ is advanced. The original creators are involved again, and its time is now. If the reaction to SEGA's revival announcement is anything to go by, the time sure is now. On top of Jet Set Radio, SEGA's revival will encompass Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Streets of Rage and it looks like there are plans for even more in the future.
