I've never played it, but I am curious about it : I wonder why SEGA never ported Jet Set Radio Future on any other platform. It never left the original xBox.
It's a bit weird because SEGA is usually not against getting a few quick bucks from the old catalogue. The first Jet Set Radio, along with a couple other Dreamcast games, has a PC version, and it's at least playable, if not absolutely perfect.
Jet Set Radio Future not appearing on another platform or being rereleased does not have an officially known reason, but I 100% personally guarantee you its about music copyright. Either a license for a sound sample used in a song expired, or the license for a song expired. There is no other reason.
Yeah, I got JSRF and Sega GT Racing with my OG Xbox. Both stayed Xbox exclusive.
I would agree, except that Future also does not appear as a port for any other Xbox console except for the original. The only way to play it is either an original Xbox, ~~or backwards compatibility with an original Xbox disk~~ [EDIT: JSRF is not backwards compatible on any Xbox platform, meaning the only way to play is on an OG Xbox or via emulation]. There are no ports or remasters of Future, despite wider availability of Jet Grind Radio.
It is of note that Sony is the most aggressive with purchasing exclusive rights to third party games, a practice they still continue to engage in to this day that is incredibly infuriating.
