Interesting article released today on Jet Moto 2124 with a video that shows so much. The game ran like JM3 which is very disappointing to me. However the graphics are amazing and the bikes are so well done.

The second page is from Playstation Museum. It has interviews from people who worked on JM2124 and they explain what went wrong. There are also many drawings and screenshots. There are some weird character redesigns, Wild Ride lost a leg!!! That's was she gets for being such a trill seeker I guess lol.

WTF, in previous games, Wild Ride was blonde and The Max was white. Now all of a sudden, Max is black, and Wild Ride is....well i dont know WTF that is.

Well, Looking at The Max, he doesn't look black to me. Mostly because of the hair. Also, he just looks tanned.
Besides it's supposed to be the future. So maybe his appearance was altered, along with his robotic arm. Or maybe it's a clone. Or maybe it's another rider altogether using the same name as an homage.
And Wild Ride is still blonde, with a funky cyber-punk dye-job.

The Max hooked up with a Latino chick, and somewhere down the line we got this descendant to The Max. Wild Ride is the same, only no Latino relationship anywhere, and some freak accident that cost her a leg. Hellbound had a severe case of diarrhea and couldn't show up to the events, leaving a robot computer drone to take his place in the races.
