HD Remasters 3 - Game Sack

[@meppi64a]

One tip for the spray painting in Jet Set Radio. Don't let go of the stick after each part, keep it pushed in the direction the first move ends in as it links into the next one and so on. Much easier to get them to work and it feels much better as well.

[@osurpless]

meppi64 Indeed, especially if you want to use Yoyo (and eventually Goji) to unlock the top rewards, as their patterns are the most complicated, as befits the high points it earns.

[@RallyLancer95]

I've 100 percented it on the Dreamcast and PS3. I love the game, but will admit the controls are easily it's Achilles heel

[@MrMcBrony]

Did you just say Tate?

[@GameSack]

I LOL'd. I may have to incorporate that as a joke some time. :)

Most people probably don't know it's a Japanese word and how to prononce it.

[@Nukle0n]

The PS3 version of Zoe 2 used to be bad until Konami paid Hexadrive to fix it, giving it a sizable patch. This is what the PS4 version is also based on.

[@Home_Rowed]

I think they also never fixed the Xbox 360 version.

[@queentribble2019]

"I'm not as dumb as I look. That's impossible." Brilliant, I'm borrowing that. =D

[@OhmiKuma]

ZOE2 didn't run quite as well before it was entirely re-coded by HexaDrive (PS3 HD version) so be sure to get the update if you're going to play that one. Otherwise it's also out on PS4 and is VR/4K compatible!

[@Zoomy222]

Yeah. I don't want to sound like a fanboy but he never mentions the 360 version. Which was 60 fps and it's also backwards compatible. I think many people watching the video would like to know that

[@danhectic5629]

Yea i'm surprised he didn't mention ZOE: MARS.

[@SECONDQUEST]

@@Zoomy222 I hated the 360 version so much I sold a friend my special edition big box. It just didn't feel right, and I never really thought there could be an update to fix that. I was too high on adderall all the time. Bought the ps4 version, so fucking great. VR is dope

[@OhmiKuma]

@@Zoomy222 I'm also not personally familiar with the 360 version either. Thanks for the comment. :)

I'm waiting for the Game Sack: Super Scope vs. Sega Menacer HD Remaster.

[@menhirmike]

Make it widescreen by cropping, add a blur filter, redo any text assets to be 4K text over the blurred/upscaled/cropped video, and remix the soundtrack to 5.1 with some additional instruments here and there.

[@MrPoestyle]

ZOE HD unfortunately never came to the Vita

[@Arikaiden]

That was kind of weird when I heard there was a PS Vita version, there was no version of this on the Vita 😢

[@MrJaschek]

yeah....the vita version was canceled and because the collection sold so poorly they also canceled ZOE3 wich was already in planing phase......*sigh*

[@meccorr]

Damn i immediatly began searching for the vita version

[@the8wave]

I’m glad I looked in the comments. I automatically paused the video and started looking for a vita version

[@luiscanamarvega]

Dusty B the what?

[@VladlustTV]

I'm a big Nintendo fan but the lack of button customization options on most games really sucks.

[@Followthelemming]

I wish they would remake and upgrade Eternal Darkness. Great video!

Absolutely. It's every episode is wonderful

[@DisplacedGamers]

Should I work today or just let Game Sack roll? I also wanted to say that I was really excited to see that this episode was 29 hours only to shake my head and realize it was but 29 minutes. The pacing and entertainment factor in your videos are always great, Joe. Love it.

[@johannesmakila2459]

Both Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition and Grandia HD (includes both Grandia 1 and 2) are something that I just have to mention when it comes to HD remakes.

[@rhaeven]

Both Grandias are the titz

[@SomeOrangeCat]

You know Joe, you wouldn't injure yourself so frequently in these post segments so often if you had Dave there. He'd be the one injuring you, which would free your time up to play more Greendog on the Sega Genesis!

[@GameSack]

The world will find a way to injure me no matter who is or isn't there. :)

[@Ganjabeard5000]

MAN do I love Game Sack........... Thanks Joe for keeping these going, you are doing a great job and I will always watch whatever you put out!!!

[@adny02]

There is ONE feature that the Dreamcast version of Jet Grind/Set Radio have that didn't make it to the re-release. One of my favorite features. The ability to upload your own artwork and have it download into the game so you can spray your own illustrations throughout the city. Me and my brothers are artists, and we was loving that! My younger brother is a graffiti artist, my older brother is a comic book artist, and I'm an animation artist. And we spread our art all over those digital cities! lol.

[@adny02]

@referral madness from a PC or Mac Web browser to their website.

[@adny02]

@referral madness this was 20 years ago. I hardly remember the exact site we uploaded to.but sega did set up a website for Jet Grind Radio to upload images to. And you can use the game to download those illustrations.

[@TonyLikeGames2]

I remember buying my copy of Jet Grind Radio from a Circuit City for $10.

[@felman87]

Circuit City had a ton of "going out of business" deals right before they went bust. I remember getting a super awesome desktop for like half the price it would normally cost just because they were desperate to clear inventory.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Circuit City... ahh, the 2000s...

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

I preferred Prop Slide Television.

[@ARCWuLF]

I got my copy from one of those early gaming services where you paid a monthly fee and they sent you the disc; they went bankrupt shortly thereafter and never asked for the disc back.

[@Racketeering248]

Joe, I must applaud you. You are doing a great job in Dave's absence. I know how much work this is and you haven't skipped a beat. Good work my friend.

[@10minGameplay1]

HD remasters are usually awesome! Remakes is not always that great.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

I don't get why anyone would be upset about HD remasters unless they're done poorly like the Silent Hill collection. You get to play your favorite games at higher resolutions and there's usually some cool extra features too. Now i just want a Godhand HD remaster.

[@H6rdc0re]

While it sucked balls on Xbox 360 and PS3. Silent Hill HD collection is pretty decent on Xbox One X. No more framedrops. The PS2 version still is the king though.

[@tacotoosday42]

Konami actually lost alot of code for those games....who does that

[@spiderjerusalem100]

Matt Brown it’s Konami, they’re pretty much passed caring about their IP’s. I wish they’d sell them to someone who will use them.

[@AlucardsQuest]

@@tacotoosday42 Actually before the HD generation, almost all devs threw their source codes away not thinking they'd need them. That happened with Squenix and Kingdom Hearts... which had to be rebuilt almost from scratch for it's HD versions. Also they once said that Final Fantasy 8 might never get remastered because it's code was lost. But they must have retrieved it somehow... probably by reverse engineering the physical disc.

[@n0isyturtle]

Personally my favorite remaster is the ICO/Shadow Of The Colossus Collection. Improved framerate, draw distance, and visuals all-around. And I actually prefer it overt the PS4 remake because the PS3 version preserves the original visual feel.

[@slucchi723]

in Europe the game was still called Jet Set Radio, looks like the name change was only in the US - also, here in Europe Under Defeat on 360 was released ONLY in the Deluxe Edition format

[@FlagshipFighter]

Btw that Rob Zombie song 'Dragula' is still in the Jet Set Radio HD re-release thankfully. Great work on the video!

[@christianglaze3868]

Thanks for keeping Game Sack going. Still miss Dave.

[@ExtremeBlue10]

HD Remasters are great due to these reasons in my personal opinion: -Mostly released as a collections. -Mostly the visuals & sounds are improved. -Mostly the known issues in OG release is fixed. -Better performance. -Some contains tweaks for limited playtime guys. -Playable on current gen. -Nostalgic.

[@det.bullock4461]

Also many get ported to PC, which means I don't have to also buy a current gen console to play them!

[@SteveTpenn]

I agree, also they generally include all the DLC.

[@Gorkab]

You didn't mention the VR re-release of ZOE 2, as well as it's running better on the PS3 thanks to another developer, HedaDrive, taking over High Voltage 😉

[@abemontes2518]

Man out of many gaming channels here Game Sack has the feel of an actual videogame channel. Joe(and Dave) doesn't waste time talking nonsense he just dives right into the games giving us great info about them. It feels like the old Gamepro TV sort of thing.

[@Timic83tc]

smash lets you reassign buttons since brawl, and thank god for it

[@bradpaton3927]

Even though they'rExclusively on Nintendo systems, they're arguably not 1st-party Nintendo games (kind of like Pokémon).

Looking forward to the history of Treasure games episode. How come no retro game channel has done it yet?

[@kenny9648]

A mug of coffee and a new video by Joe! Thanks!

[@RyanMan767]

its interesting about Twilight Princess, because the very basic widescreen hack setting on a modded Gamecube or Wii outputs the game in perfect non-stretched progressive 16:9 with no problem whatsoever. the game doesn't even need to be altered in any way, it basically just sets a couple flags to widen the view, and it adjusts the HUD and fills the screen even better than the Wii version. theres absolutely no reason they couldn't have done it on the gamecube version lol.

[@seoulpurpose]

Really apreciate the breakdown of the surround mixes being included.

[@g1nobleteam]

I remember really wanting to play Twilight Princess, but never getting the Wii version even though it was more readily available than the GameCube version just due to the motion controls. Really hope they port Twilight Princess, and Wind Waker HD to the Switch.

[@AlucardsQuest]

@MultiTarded Agreed on all!

[@Yodagamer1]

Well I mean alot of Wiis support the GameCube version

[@andrewthompson1405]

I gotta say I love had remasters if it is a game that the graphics didn’t hold up or had major flaws that get fixed. For me it’s about those quality of life features that are incorporated

[@terriblecoughing4767]

The remasters of The Silver Case and Monkey Island were pretty amazing.

[@captainsaveahoe]

“Doing vandalism with their graffiti” that part had me lol for some reason 🤣😂

[@jasontwitchell8167]

Joe, I thank you for your great quality entertainment. Every time I see a new video has been released, I know that I am in for a treat, and a further love for my favorite pastime.

[@PixelGameSquad]

[@doolittle_]

"I'm not as dumb as I look. That would be impossible." I love you forever, Joe.

[@rmgb-tv]

I wonder if Joe had time to include the Yakuza Remastered Collection in this episode? It's a Yakuzapalooza.

[@brodi81]

I've beaten Jet Set many of times, since I was only 19 when the DC came out and I moved to a location where I didn't have cable television, or even broadband at the time! I only had about 6 DC titles and I made sure to beat them time and time again. Sonic Adventures, Soul Calibur, Tony Hawk, and Jet Set were my go-to's and I'll always have a special spot for them.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

FYI for the future, Joe: you can turn off vibration directly from the PS3 dashboard. Settings > Accessory settings > turn off vibration. And the same goes for all the xbox and the PS4. I hate vibration so I always turn it off on everything.

[@393axis]

Sometimes your technical talk goes over my head but it’s always fascinating thanks joe!

[@AlucardsQuest]

Its interesting that you mention Link's costume design because I remember reading that the developers deliberately didn't want to make him look too cool. Anyway, of course I'm curious as to what you think about the Shenmue and Grandia HD remasters since you asked for them (and I agreed with all of Game Sack's choices in that video). Personally I enjoyed how Tomb Raider Legends (in the PS3 collection) and Onimusha made their admittedly no frills HD transitions. However I'm always happy to see remasters... Even if they're on games I'm not interested in like Legend of Kay, or the upcoming Banana Blitz. I can only hope it leads to new people enjoying the experiences, which is why I'm glad to have so many collections now like Mega Man, Castlevania, and Contra. But also technology is always advancing, so I don't want great classic console games to be lost to history personally. I want someone to pick up obscure licenses and re-release them! Devs... Fatal Frame Collection, Mega Man Legends Collection, and Mystical Ninja starring Goemon next please!

[@metroidmayhem8463]

Ah the day has been made. Game sack video notification when I woke up.

[@swordslinger1977]

I was expecting you to talk about Shenmue 1 & 2 remaster on the PS4, Xbox One and PC Joe. With you being an absolute fanatic for those games as well as the highly anticipated conclusion releasing this November you really should of gotten the remaster and discuss in full detail for this episode. I myself have already beaten both games as well as platinum trophied both games btw. Next discuss Shenmue 1 & 2 remaster and do before Shenmue iii comes out this fall.

[@nicotoscani8270]

How do you determine how many frames per second a game runs?

[@jbfarley]

[@ricardodpraca]

Thanks Joe! I really like when you make videos about remasters or ported versions and compare them.

[@TwoBlackMarks]

Resident Evil HD remaster is one of the best games I have ever played. And so good replayability. It is on that vague top 10 list that is impossible to decide what is included on.

[@duffman18]

I got it a few months back for Switch. I need to actually play it, I managed to get stuck like 20 mins in and don't know where to go or what to do. I also got Resident Evil 4 and that's far easier and simpler, so been actually playing that one. But I missed the original one back in the PS1 era, never got around to getting it, so need to give it a proper go

[@TwoBlackMarks]

@@duffman18 You should try it again, or maybe just restart if it is a long time since you played it. I am not a speedrunner or while not bad, but not a supergood player either, but it is one of a few games I have replayed and tried to do fast and without saving and such. You can replay and try to optimze routes and know what to kill and not etc.

[@Overbound]

I find Jet Set Radio really difficult too. Keep trying though!

[@JeremyLeePotocki]

All the music in Jet Set Radio (at least for the Android & Steam versions) have all of the music intact so Dragula is there. This is the one of the few game series I keep coming back to over and over again. I wish they would bring out a remastered version of Jet Set Radio Future as well.

[@FlamingShutter]

Hey Gamesack loved the video. Just FYI if you are talking about seeing less graphics from a game when going to HD....that is called cropping in. Love your channel!

[@caseyrice768]

Love the vids. Just a heads up, a "high pass filter" doesn't add discrete bass to a system. Specifically a crossover would do this, which uses a high pass filter, which sends a 'high pass filtered' signal to the 'high' speakers. It let's the HIGHS pass instead of trying to produce them at the sub.

[@the8wave]

Laser cube actually sounds kind of intriguing. You sold me on it Joe!

[@nintyfan1991]

Sorry for the correction, Joe. But the Wii version of Twilight Princess released first. GameCube version released last.

[@octavianyt1981]

Would love to see a video showing your insight on how to to get the best audio experience out of a surround-sound-supported video game.

[@SwoleCalibur]

Jet Set Radio HD is the best version of the game. It misses 2 or 3 songs but has all of the songs of all region versions combined so it ends up with the biggest soundtrack.

[@Dara321AAA]

Zone of the Enders City is actually also in a music rhythm game called beatmania as the song “the earth light” by LED

[@thisisnotachannel]

I'm still waiting for the "Mortal Kombat HD Kollection"... though I doubt we'll see it, at this point. Also wouldn't mind seeing the first two "DOOM" games given the ol' HD treatment... hell, even "DOOM 64"!

[@WillKeaton]

"Does any Nintendo proper game let you reassign the button layout?" Super Metroid. For some reason the default setup used the A and X buttons to jump and shoot instead of B and Y like any normal game would use. Fortunately you can remap the buttons.

[@andree1991]

Joe I come to you for help please. I have that exact same Toshiba tv but it has a very messed up geometry. 2d scrolling looks HORRIBLE and it warps really bad. Is there any way to find its default or optimal (service menu or otherwise) image settings? Please. Help. There's nothing on Google about this tv to help me.

[@danfred7127]

You know how Joe always pushes the volume slider up on the Genesis? I wish he would've tucked the controller wire into the slot when he was showing the Dreamcast. Also, I'm so happy Joe still mentions whether a game has a physical release or not. Just when I was wondering if Jet Set Radio HD got a disc version on PS3, Joe says they never made one. Thanks for that.

[@marbles8641]

As for your ending speech, none of these games are Remakes, they are all Remasters/Enhanced ports of the original games. A remake means it's an entirely new game from the ground up. Either way, I love well done remasters. It let's us enjoy older games on modern systems, and allows devs to fix issues in the original releases, such as frame rates, bugs and glitches. Though I admit, sometimes they fix fun little bugs like the infinite ammo in RE-Make.

[@BomKosh1992]

13:00 If you're wondering if there ever was a reticle on the Gamecube version, there isn't any, not to my knowledge at least. Take it from someone who had this game on the Gamecube back when the Wii was still fresh, since we didn't have a Wii until around summer of 2007.

[@mumfnah]

I used to call the ex, The Orbital Frame, for that exact reason you mentioned

[@ARCWuLF]

I'm all for HD updates to older games -- it helps to preserve older software, it's nice seeing newer display technology supported, and it's sometimes nice to have games with annoying flaws fixed.

Jet Set Radio HD is missing Yappie Feet, one of the best songs in the game. Plays when you battle one of the gangs.

[@greygoo5319]

Under Defeat HD for the 360 is my favourite shoot em up, partially because I can actually complete it and yeah I agree, the soundtrack is awesome! Keep it up Joe, great work!

[@insanitysplayground547]

I think it's a great idea and they are able to fix and add things they couldn't before.

[@mduke2k]

What is the first game to include a bonus soundtrack CD (or cassette for even earlier example?

[@JetWolfEX]

Killer instinct?

[@TwoBlackMarks]

Comix Zone? But more or less all old CD based games have the soundtrack included on the disc though. But for "Bonus" stand alone CD with music I do not know, but for now I only remember Comix Zone. And I still have the CD that came with it.

[@TwoBlackMarks]

I think there was some Computer games in the 80`s with bonus cassette though, but I only know that since I have seen a video about it or something.

[@frankschneider6156]

Possibly Deus Ex Machina around 1984 for 8-Bit computers (eg ZX Spectrum, C64), although the sound on the cassette was integral to the game.

[@ksysinf]

you could turn around with any right stick input in original REmake as well

[@GrandJediMaster7860]

Great episode Joe! I was hoping to see Dave again....ah well. Anyway, I hope you make another one of these HD remake/remaster videos; there are many more out there. My favourite ones are definitely Uncharted 1-3 and The Last of Us (you already covered those with Dave). I'm not sure you did the Return to Arkham Asylum and Arkham City remasters - I actually loved em.

[@DankPeezy_YT]

Twilight Princess actually released on the Wii first. Nov. 18th, Wii's launch day. The Gamecube version released a couple of weeks later in December.

[@SageX85]

You know you can turn the vibration off system wide right? Somewhere in the settings on the xmb is the option
