  Quote:“We really want to show edginess and a rebellious mind-set,” said Utsumi, recalling Sega’s cultural impact as the “alternative” game console.

  
  

  Quote:“The concept of games like ‘Jet Set Radio’ is advanced. The original creators are involved again, and its time is now,” he said. “It’s a good time where people can appreciate all kinds of concepts.”

  
  

  Quote:Utsumi credited three ongoing Sega franchises for holding up the company in recent years: Sonic the Hedgehog, which has now released two blockbuster Hollywood films; Yakuza, the crime drama that’s grown a large U.S. following; and Persona, the role-playing series about mystery-solving teens.
  “We’ve been investing into these three titles the last three years, making these pillars grow, and they grew very well,” he said.

  
  

  Quote:“We are evaluating right now. Virtua Fighter doesn’t use so many tricks, special moves like in Street Fighter, it’s very realistic,” Utsumi said. “How can we make it more dramatic? It’s something we’re working on.”

  I'm so excited that they're getting back to their old self. Hopefully these all turn out good, they look good from the small clips we've seen.

  Investing into Sonic is a great thing, more please! The other franchises I have no interest in.

  I would buy a new Sega console in a heartbeat if they had these games exclusive to it.
  
  *dreams about Dreamcast*

  So would I.
  
  I'm just happy that they are bringing back old franchises!
