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

[@queentribble2019]

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

[@garou1911]

Still the best gaming channel on KZbin

[@ZBR_ProXP]

BY FAR!

[@Subfightr]

Absolutely. It's every episode is wonderful

[@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.

[@MrMcBrony]

Did you just say Tate?

[@GameSack]

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

[@vasili1207]

Stop mocking people who like to play games how they were intended... 😂

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

[@BundePia]

"The lasercube can blind you" Awesome🤣

[@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. :)

[@bigcade554]

@@Zoomy222 The 360 version was unpatched and has many issues.

[@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.

[@Jesse__H]

"All of the talky talk scenes take place with anime drawings and the such." I see you, too, are a man of letters.

[@garou1911]

Nothing I like better than zapping hemorrhoids on my wall

[@Dusty_B]

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?

[@Followthelemming]

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

[@jd_av8]

I agree, I missed out on it and I know it was a huge game

Nice Spongebob reference 🙋

Zone of the enders was the game you had to buy to get copy of Metal Gear Solild 2 playable demo!

[@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.

[@Wajang1]

Thank you for starting up my sunday morning.

[@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.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

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]

@@menhirmike and make it 30 fps .

[@jeremygregorio7472]

Sonic's Ulitmate Menacer collection.

[@lbm5618]

I'm not sure what the biggest screen Gamesack has been on, but my 120" in my living room lives for Gamesack Sunday nights. Theater style treatment, thanks for making the best show on youtube Joe!

[@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.

[@Hatchbasic]

Thank you for consistently putting out these episodes I love Gamesack

[@VladlustTV]

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

[@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!!!

[@captainsaveahoe]

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

[@christianglaze3868]

Thanks for keeping Game Sack going. Still miss Dave.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. :)

[@kenny9648]

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

[@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.

[@terriblecoughing4767]

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

[@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.

[@samyak128]

Thank you for playing the Ys 8 music around the 14:00 mark. Made me listen to that amazing soundtrack again

[@dreamweaver5803]

I like your goofy charisma, and consistent showcasing of interesting games. Game Sack has definitely become my favorite gaming channel. Keep up the great work!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@jasontwitchell8167]

I miss Circuit City. I would shop there frequently and find great deals.

[@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"!

[@doolittle_]

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

[@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.

[@FlagshipFighter]

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

[@seoulpurpose]

Really apreciate the breakdown of the surround mixes being included.

[@jaymzx2587]

“Let’s make this more glary” haha 😆

[@duhmez]

Love the show, as always! I hope Game Sack never stops.

[@TheStolken]

You were especially dorky in this episode, but I'm okay with that.

[@nicotoscani8270]

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

[@jbfarley]

Super easy to tell 30 vs 60 from just looking at it

[@loganjorgensen]

Not big on remakes but your comparisons of Zelda game control changes was very interesting. Zone of Enders sure is cheaper to get in that PS3 collection which appeals to me not being a mega fan of that franchise.

[@randybear932]

Blows my mind the OG RE and REmake were released like 5yrs apart

[@PixelGameSquad]

You're a Game Sack

[@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.

[@Xurrah]

Still waiting for a HD remaster of 'Jet Moto'.

[@10minGameplay1]

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

[@25hztolife86]

Very, Very Nice shirt. You hit the mark with this shirt.

[@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.

[@blinxerizer5426]

LMAO at that ending skit. Great job Joe!

[@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

[@PiedPiperOfHameln]

zoe was canceled on vita, but jet set radio have port on this platform

[@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).

[@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.

[@393axis]

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

[@metroidmayhem8463]

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

[@FinalStage4L]

Gamesack is so underated would love to see you colab with James Rolfe and Scott the woz

[@ksldfhjlkdsj]

Joe did a cameo on an AVGN episode

[@ribletbasket286]

I'd love to see Joe with ProJared. Bet that'd be funny af.

[@the8wave]

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

[@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.

[@Wildcatbeer]

Thank YOU!..... for making Game Sack.

[@Lufisyth]

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

[@ingenuk4266]

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

[@ksysinf]

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

[@Aragorn7884]

Fantastic Rob Zombie song😏

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@thatryeguy6145]

That ending skit. Comical genious.

[@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.

[@SageX85]

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

[@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.

[@insanitysplayground547]

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

[@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.

[@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 😉

[@BugsyFoga]

Still waiting for Scott pilgrim vs the world to get the same treatment

[@GenesHand]

I bough it a month before it was taken out, i still have a usb stick stored with only that game for the 360.

[@ricardodpraca]

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

[@Bob_Beaky]

As long as the originals are still available I think remasters/remakes made with care are a great idea. :)

[@carlopton]

Good thing. Opens them to a new audience and keeps them alive.

[@BoozeAholic]

LOL I thought Joe was going to throw his Gamecube. I was like "No don't!" What a relief.

[@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.

[@special_circumstancs]

If the Cinder theme started playing every time I picked up the Laser Cube, I might consider purchasing.

[@nintyfan1991]

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

[@Blackcloud288]

Whats the song that starts at 13:47?

[@MRWINDYMETHANE]

Nnnnoooo, Dave didn't come back like he did the last time.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

I'm sure he'll pop up from time to time, and that'll make his appearances all the sweeter.

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

Laser cube will be a great addition to the bathroom when preforming on the crapper and attempting to cream my hemorrhoids while zapping them simultaneously.

[@221b]

The Laser Cube looks pretty awesome. Expensive, though.

[@Casanuda]

Gotta correct you, Twilight Princess was released on the Wii first and the Gamecube about three weeks later.

[@Casanuda]

@MultiTarded WRONG Wii released mid November and the Gamecube version released early December.

[@Casanuda]

@MultiTarded Yet you are where it launched first. Twilight Princess on the Wii came out first in North America and Japan two weeks later. So, you're still wrong.

[@Casanuda]

Half of my PS4 library is updated versions of older games so...I love HD remakes.

[@joshmartimez2235]

I remember Jetset Radio. Never played the game but watched a friend play and might get it for ps3.

[@skins4thewin]

Lol and here I thought I was the only one that enjoyed the Tank controls on the early Resident Evil games. I also can't imagine playing the early games any other way and I quite enjoy it as it's a unique feeling experience. That's the best way I can think to describe it. I particularly like the way it feels when using the knife with the tank controls.

[@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.

[@DankPeezy]

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.

[@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.
