What The Hell Happened To Jet Moto?

- The mid-90s was a time of change for videogames. Not only was the medium itself maturing from the 16 to 32 bit generations in terms of tech, but the media on which the games were printed was changing to CDs, flat sprites were changing into three dimensional polygons, stories were becoming grander, and real voice acting and music recordings were becoming more popular. With these changes came an era of expanded experimentation with different gaming concepts.
The ceiling of the feasible was substantially elevated, so developers were slinging lots of ideas around that might not have possible ten years ago. From this mentality, many imaginative classics would be brought into the world. Early polygonal triumphs like Omega Boost, Silent Hill, and Twisted Metal owe their very existence to the open-mindedness of developers and publishers of the time. Of those lesser-known-but-still-fantastic early polygonal creations that would emerge was Jeto Moto; a racing game that combined hoverbikes, unique track types, land and water terrain, and a James Bond-style soundtrack to make a genuinely fascinating and unique experience.
The game would quickly go on to follow the same pattern of most successful early PS1 games by becoming a series of three games with conservative improvements throughout. However, unlike Spyro, Crash and other PS1 trilogies, Jeto Moto slammed on the brakes after the third game, and we wouldn't see a single additional release to this day. But why would that be? Why would a racing series that saw so much popularity with it's fresh take on the genre suddenly lose it's momentum and fade into obscurity for over 20 years? What the hell happened to Jet Moto?

With the gaming technology out now Jet Moto would be an awesome franchise to bring back. Ah, a guy can dream.
It’s too hard for them to develop that and get profits so they won’t give gamers that gift like Twisted Metal they refuse to treat veterans with any respect.
It would be an amazing game if a small indie studio built it in unreal 4 or something. Sell it for $30-40.
Yea and they have much more brands they can sponsor from now like redbull, apple, etc..
Imagine playing in multiplayer
Jet Moto 3 had the grappling mechanic which made turning so much more skill based and felt AMAZING.
... Man people looking for jet moto are now old lol. But we're all probably gonna be HYPED for a new Jet Moto game. Guys that responded earlier are right. Imagine online multiplayer and updated graphics/physics (yeah waves can affect height now yay!) with this thing HAHA!
Hi! I was the creative director on JetMoto3, thanks for this! Love to hear the feedback, we didnt have anything besides magazines back then. It was a really fun but tough dev cycle, one of my best dev memories.
Wow I would love too know a little bit about the behind the scenes of one of my favorite childhood memories you should make a video!!
@@geematthew40 yeah that would be fun to make! It was such a cool experience, there weren’t really separate art positions back then like environment and lighting. I was able to do so much! Level design, greybox, texture and vert painting, menus... Imagine being a young new game dev and you can create five tracks from scratch yourself! The tech limitations were wild, 64x64 textures and a few polys. I worked with such an amazing team at PCP&L and 989 studios. Good days! I can answer questions if you have any
I'll have too think of some questions after work! I'm excited this was a child hood favorite I still play
@@DrewMedina thank you
A legend in the comments 👏🙌👌
Can you imagine how insane Jet Moto would look with modern graphics? This is one franchise along with Twisted Metal I hope Sony bring back for PS5
You don’t know how much I dig and research when a Twisted Metal could come out. I look for any snippet of evidence to cling to in order to remain a gamer and have hope for the industry. They need to continue to cater to veterans but sadly nothing has been given other than some resident evil games crash bandicoot and Spyro.
@@ratskraad5890 We got Tony Hawk 1 & 2 so there's still hope.
@@ratskraad5890 there's a chance for twisted metal in our lifetime... I remember hearing Sony was supposedly making some kind of twisted metal tv show? Don't quote me on that... havent heard any news in a long while
Facts💯
As long as they keep the same marvel comic lookin artwork they had on the jetmoto 2 title screens..
Jet Moto 1-2 were true gems and the soundtracks were iconic. Definitely in my top ten PlayStation 1 games.
It's because of jetmoto i fell in love with the 90s mountain dew brand logo they featured in the game too
Literally same
Same
Same
Back when video games featured actual brands. I had all 3 Jet Moto games and burned holes through the disc's I played them so much.
Same
This was my favorite game on play station hands down I would love for them to make a new one
They totally could. With a Cyberpunk/ fast and furious vibe too it
Trent DeVlaminck fast and the furious? Wtf fuck no!
@@ratskraad5890 shut the fuck up bitch
I had Jet Moto 2 as a kid and damn that game was tough, but I still loved playing it primarily because of how cool and imaginative the tracks were. Also the soundtrack slapped
The hell and heaven track actually scared me as a child.
Same! I remember being 6 or 7 and having my older cousin beat some of the championships. Then I remember getting to the hell part of nebulous and shutting my PlayStation off after being freaked out lol.
I would play that track with my amplifiers and stereo system blasting in the basement like a rockstar concert lmao 🔊🥁🎸🎶
The music in the hell part was SOOOOO good!!
I didn't even know they made 3. I played the hell out of 1 and 2 though. Something about the jumps and bouncy suspension felt great.
I grew up on all on 1 2 n 3 and 3 was my favorite by far.
The graphics were so bad back then that you'd even catch yourself falling through the bridges and streets too lol
3 is the best I still have all of them for the ps1 3 Had boost and awesome levels
@@thesixthman2starringlebron290 that's what makes it so great
I remember having this game as a child. I was only like, 6 or 7 while playing this so I couldn't understand the controls.
This truly is an underrated gem that deserves a remake
When you slowly realize the Oppresor in Gta online is just a Jet Moto Bike
Same with the Ultor Interceptor from Saints Row: The Third, at least design-wise.
Lads of the 90s...we meet again.
Dear god I just remembered syphon filter.
Syphon Filer was incredible. Minus the PS2 one. That was terrible. Sony needs to remaster the PS1 games and rerelease the PSP ones.
Bonfire yea I just looked them up. Apparently they went till the psp. I’d only known of the first and second. I think splinter cell with the crazy better lighting came along and took the wind out of their sails.
loved jet moto 2, i really wish they kept making these.
Best racing game ever. Hands down. You had to learn the turns the jumps and the loops and how to orient your bike going into and out of each. Wipeout was a dumbed down version. Man I miss this game.
Beating part 2 and Unlocking Enigma was so good of a feeling 🥰
I still have Jet Moto 1 and two
Interestingly the greatest hits version of Jet Moto 2 had a few balance tweeks and all tracks unlocked from the start, including all of the Jet Moto 1 tracks.
JM1 is my most played game of all time. I love it! Wild Ride for life
Wild Ride!!!! Hours!
i played the mess out of this game. discovered this & twisted metal 2 on some old demo disc back in the day. it did its job!
Fuuuuck. The era of demo disk 🔥
I just got Twisted Metal 1 & 2 a few weeks ago. Got All 3 Jet Motos a couple years ago. Def some of the best games esp for the times! You have excellent taste :)
The Playstation underground demo.
I've wondered what happen too. I loved that game
i didnt really like jet moto 3. they changed the physics and speed so much it felt like a different series. jet moto 1 & 2 are masterpieces though
agreed, most of the fanbase plainly rejected JM3 cause it didnt feel like JM at all. Plus the characters looked awful, the artsyle wasnt good
I just dont understand how Sony would have such an cool franchise that people have been hoping for years would come back, and let it rot. They need to either remaster Jet 1 & 2 or make a completely new game based off the same physics. Jet Moto 3 just didn't have the feel. While there at it bring back Cool Boarders 2 and remaster it. WE WANT JET MOTO RESSURECTION!!!! Come on Sony!!!
Jet Moto was my favorite game as a kid. Jet Moto 3 got rid of the full 3 axis control and wasn't even jet moto anymore. Jet Moto 1 remaster please!
I use to play this along with the original tekken, crash bandicoot, and a few other ps1 games
Also, Let's petition that they revive the jetmoto game series..it would've made a great anime movie/cartoon of some sort too
Lol totally forgot about this franchise. I enjoyed them though. I’d be down with a new one as well as another Gex. Those were awesome too.
I used to play the HELL out of the jet moto series when I was a kid. Always missed it.
Jet Moto REALLY needs a new game for the PS5 and it needs to have all the tracks from all three games and the original soundtracks
Also down with a new Twisted Metal and Gex games too
I always enjoyed this game
Playing the first jet moto around 10 years old is such a great memory I still hold to this day. I spent countless hrs on jet moto 2 with my friends just doing freestyle jumps on the map with the planes lol. That series was so dope.
Nostalgia😭
I picked up Jet Moto because I did not have a n64 and it looked the closest to Wave Race as other games on ps1. I loved the hell out of the first game.
One of my favorite game series. I’d love a revival with multiplayer racing. Especially the slow elimination for each race.
I need that remaster
Man....jet moto was the best. I remember late nights with my dad trying to best the hardest levels that were so dependent on perfect use of grapples and basically needing a perfect race. We were just swap back and forth each time we failed until we finally beat it on our 473638573737474th attempt. Good times. I'd play the shit out of any remakes heh.
Nebulous in JM2 (heaven and hell) is legit the best racing game track ever made
Weak. It only took me 473638573737473 attempts.
This was my game!! 😍 😎
Jet Moto 2 was my jam. I even listened to the game's soundtrack at school in my discman and would just imagine racing each level until I could go home again.
I loved this game
The lines were beautiful in Jet Moto. The tracks were so good, and the variety of racers with different strengths was fun. Loved Snowblind.
I used to spend entire trips to the department store playing the Jet Moto when I was a kid. And a few years ago I found copies of Jet moto 1 & 3 a few years ago as an adult and instantly bought them love this game and miss it sooooo much
Jet Moto 3 was easily the worst out of the 3, I dont know where you got that it was well received. It didnt feel like the other 2 whatsoever
It had a completely new physics engine. I hated it at first, but once I got used to it, I couldn't go back to Jet Moto 1 & 2
If I remember correctly, they got rid of the R2 L2 roll control in 3. I hated it. The full 3 axis control is what made me love Jet Moto. Jet Moto 3 sucked.
Pretty sure if they made a new one it would be well received. This concept combined with modern graphics and creative track design could take my $
*"James Bond style soundtrack"* 😂😂😂😂😂 really nikka lmao Jet Moto 2 soundtrack and gameplay was part of my childhood development lmao it was fuxking awesome!!!
The soundtracks, absolute best for me. I listen to aftershock and Mach schnell all the time
I’m 19 years old, and even I remember this game very fondly. I had a ps1 when I was about 3 years old, and I only had 3 games: Jet Moto, Crash Bandicoot Warped, and some random disc 2 from an issue of PlayStation Underground. Hands down, I think we need to start a petition for Sony to at least remaster the original trilogy of Jet Moto! I would purchase it immediately❤️
New jet moto with like 20 tracks, robust season modes, and 20 riders, it could def be a great game
I remember mastering every track. Great feeling that. I distinctly remember the sponsor billboards(moto 2?) and the music.
I used to love Jet Moto so much! I wish they'd at least remaster the old ones.
Jet Moto 1 & 2 are now on the PSN store for PS4 and PS5
I would love to see a new Jet Moto game grace the PS4 and PS5.
Hell maybe we can show Sony that interest is out there for either remakes or a new title since the first game is available on the PS Store for both PS4 and PS5 as a PS1 Classic
Jet Moto had 3 axis control+lean. No other game had/has that.
No mention about how the producer of the second game essentially gave a big middle finger to Sony by changing the second game for the Greatest hits release? Couple that with low sales of the third and it isn't hard to see why they haven't brought it back.
This game met a similar fate to Streets of Rage in that it was a popular 90s trilogy, but then the follow ups got cancelled and it's just sat forgotten for decades (similarly SOR was going to have a comeback on DC that was also not given a chance). Sadly like with skateboarding games I don't see a big combeack likely, as extreme sports were kind of a 90s/2000s trend that has died out.
I remember being so proud of myself as a kid for getting good at the icebreaker and nightmare tracks on jet moto 1. The soundtrack was amazing and loved enabling stunt mode and doing tricks. Would love to see a remake with modern graphics but being able to play all the old tracks
Add fully customizable bikes and riders, online multiplayer circuits and leader boards, dlc, and a good trophy system bam! Jet moto is back baby
I had jet moto 1 and 2. I’m surprised they never remade this game for PS4.
I fucking loved that game.. I spent a whole summer playing JetMoto2 with 311's Transistor album as my soundtrack...Best fucking summer ever. That game with 311's Transistor tunes fit perfectly together.
Use to play this as a kid
It really needs a remake
Something just made me think of jet moto my childhood brought me here these kids now aren't as lucky as my era bring back jet moto
Holy nostalgia.
Used to play jet moto 2 all the time. Still have my copy of it
This game could be so dope if they brought it back. The graphics, the sounds, the gameplay everything would be boosted. Add a new mechanic like a time slow/focus meter for when things get too crazy and you need to slow down your perception, add modifiable vehicles/parts, sponsors you can earn money from and represent if wanted, and maybe a custom racer maker and boom - series revived
Jet Moto and Wipeout were so cool when they came out. Wipeout had Designer's Republic, while Jet Moto had a more down to earth appeal (with the Nascar-esque advertising). It would've been really cool to see some crossover between those two franchises. Can you imagine e playing these games in VR?!?!?!
I remember loving jet moto a lot. I never really noticed when it disappeared, but looking back, it's baffling cause it was probably the best racing game I've ever played.
Jet moto 1-2 had some issues but the concepts were great and still hold up pretty well. I'd love to play a reboot!
This will always be the game that I associate my first few years of highschool with. It was released 8 weeks into my freshman year of HS. Number 2 was sophomore year.
Now they’re all oppressor MK 2s in GTA online
There is no reason not to make a reboot. It's a hoverbike racer! That idea alone will print money!
This was the only playstation game I had as a kid lol! Cousin and I playing splitscreen for hours and hours!
First game I bought, along with Twisted Metal 2, with my PS1. Such good times.
Watching this while waiting for my rom to download
Jet Motto 2 was the best and looked the best... Back in the PS1 & PS2 era some sequels looked uglier and simpler than their predecessors.... 🤷🏻
That was one reason why I stood away from many sequels in those 2 eras! Not all were bad, but a lot were!
Tomb Raider 2 was a major disappointment, at least to me.
I can see a PS5 commercial starting off with this guy going to an old barn looking at a something covered up under a tarp only to reveal a Tron like hoverbike........
These games were awesome.... especially no. 2 and 3. Locking onto those magnets to sweep around tight curves. They didn't get old quickly.
I kind of think modern gamers just expect everything now to be open world, with huge environments to explore, tons of DLC, etc. by default. Arcade style games, racing games, and XTREME sports titles just don't cut it anymore due to lack of content and small level sizes. You can't get away with making a game with eight race tracks and call it a day, with a few exceptions (Cruis'n Blast, Mario Kart -- partially because of their uniqueness and additional gameplay quirks). It's not something that was exclusive to Jet Moto. It happened to Cool Boarders, Rally Cross, Road Rash, Tony Hawk, Wave Race, SSX, 1080 Snowboarding, and even Burnout. It's also weird that Twisted Metal was included in this just because it features driving vehicles. I guess that would mean that Driver and GTA belong in this list, too.
would totes make time for this.
Jet Motto was awesome...
I had forgotten this game until I saw the newer star trek movies where Kirk is chased buy a cop on a jet moto "bike"
It would be amazing if they would make a remastered version
3 games that would be prime material for ps5 imo for vr ports, would be Jet Motto, Star Wars Pod Racing and Road Rash.
The Jet Moto series needs a comeback. In this "dystopian future" we're living in, an awesome futuristic racing game would be a nice 20 minute distraction. F-Zero is cool. Jet Moto is better and that is a hill I will die on!
I would love a new game or even a remaster of the trilogy...make it happen Sony!!!!
Looove JetMoto. Personally love the mention of Ape Escape at the end. Great video!
Gex? Are you kidding me? Jet Moto is a franchise well worth bringing back now. They could do it like they did with Crash and Spyro by remastering it and see how well it does and then do a newer game. At any rate, Sony just doesn't know how well the franchise is loved. To this day, I still play all the games with family and friends and against the AI. Jet Moto RAWKS!!!
JetMoto got me into Supercross and track riding.
Jet Moto needs to get a PS5 game with all the tracks from the first three games and with storylines for each driver and decisions the driver makes can affect how they perform
There was a jet moto 4 but got scrapped due to jet moto 3 sales and other things involved
Sony should revive this series. I see it as a precursor to the Motorstorm series which also took place on different terrain. I think with the PS5's technology and the Dualsense, they could really make something special. They could give you the option of racing on the tracks with different weather conditions (like Wave Race: Blue Storm did) that would affect the height of the waves and the grip your hover bike would have on mud and concrete.
We need a brand new Jet Moto that game rocks
I would love a remastered version of the original game. I’d pay $20 for that
This series has been dormant for far too long, over 20 years now. Still one of my favorites, hopefully we get a surprise on PS5 this generation.
JM2 was my jam! Had no idea there was even a 3 tbh........
My favorite racing games of all time. Keep hoping it will be brought back.
I LOVED the Jet Moto series! I think modern advancements in physics, graphics and controls would benefit a return to this franchise moreso than games like Ape Escape Just think: the underside buttons of the new Dualshock attachment could ad better vertical control of the hover bikes
Oh my god Jet Moto 3 was the best! Man how unfair was it that it fell out of popularity. This kind of game was so amazing to learn since you did need to put in the time to actually get good at! I still play it to this DAY that's how good this franchise is!
I hope Jet Moto VR will be available
Tuned in on 03/26/2023 LOL drunk memories
It lives on the oppressor mark II
Is there a video like this about what happened to 3xtreme? That's a decent fun couch arcade racing game tho...
