Kate Burning, could you please comment on the frame rate for Jet Set Radio?

[Mookie Carver]

Just listened to Kate's interview over on Gamertag Radio (http://www.gamertagradio.com/new/201...medium=twitter) where she shares positive comments regarding widescreen and right stick camera support along with news regarding progress obtaining the original licensed tracks - with about 50% of the original track secured so far (Guitar Vadar -w00t!)

Kate,

Myself and a number of other have been wondering what Jet Set Radio HD's final frame rate is expected to be? The original Jet Set Radio ran about 30fps on DC, as did most early DC titles. For Jet Set Radio Future on Xbox the frame rate was upgraded to a smooth and more appropriate to the action 60fps.

Seeing as how Sega has been turning out 60fps HD digital titles lately (Daytona USA, Sonic CD, Sonic Adventure, and Crazy Taxi), can you comment on the frame rate? If it's 30fps like the original, is there any discussion about raising it to 60fps and are there any gameplay or technical issues preventing that?

Thanks.

I would appreciate it if you could check on frame rate, thanks.

Interestingly, though, I just came across this article claiming 60fps from Joystiq:

Jet Set Radio's bold, cartoonish aesthetic benefits immensely from the higher resolution, 16:9 display and 60 frames-per-second output.

Kate, if I could ask another question, any word on the status of Deavid Soul tracks?

1. Deavid Soul - Miller Ball Breakers
2. Deavid Soul - On the Bowl (A.Fargus Remix)
3. Deavid Soul - Up-Set Attack
4. Deavid Soul - Yappie Feet

Could Sega consider a DLC music pack to cover for licensing costs if that is an issue? I hope they would consider it if necessary.

Joystiq has the full list of what we have secured so far.

okay, I noticed that. I was confused by Jostiq's faulty reporting. Your radio interview clearly sounded like you were still working on getting the licensed tracks while Joystiq is reporting it like that is the final list:

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/13/je...f-original-tr/

Sega tells Joystiq it made every effort to pursue and re-license all the music, but cost and even the availability of certain music publishers became an impediment.

Don't know why they used past tense instead of making it sound like the ongoing process it is?

Anyways, here is the list:

Grace and Glory
Humming the Bassline
Let Mom Sleep
Moody's Shuffle
Rock It On
Sneakman
Sweet Soul Brother
That's Enough

Licensed tracks

Toronto - Electric Tooth Brush
Magical Girl - Guitar Vader
Super Brothers - Guitar Vader
Bout the City - Reps
Funky Radio - B.B. Rights
Mischievous Boy - Castle Logical
Yellow Bream - F-Fields
Everybody Jump Around - Richard Jacques

Outside of Deavid Soul, the only other track I see that isn't an NA/EU exclusive is OK House by Idol Taxi.

Benten-Cho wouldn't seem the same without him, but regardless of his inclusion I would recommend his album (Amazon, iTunes). It's very good.

Kate, do you know who the Reps are?

There is no info on them on the entire internet?

Sega must know if they re-licensed them.

Awesome inclusion, btw.

I couldn't find info on them anywhere. Shame too, as 'Bout the City is one of my favorite tracks.
