The development of a Part 5 JoJo game for the PlayStation 2, known as "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 5 (tentative)" (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 第5部 (仮称)), was first announced at TGS 2001 on March 30, 2001. During the event, a short clip showing an early version of the game's models and stages was presented. Notably, the clip featured Koichi Hirose, who was later cut from the game. Unlike the other games on display at Capcom's PlayStation 2 booth, JoJo was one of the only one not to feature gameplay of any sort.[3] News about the game's development would later resurface when it was re-announced at a Capcom vs. SNK 2 tournament on January 13, 2002, in Takeshiba, Tokyo. At the tournament, a video message from Hirohiko Araki was played, where he announced "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Whirlwind" (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 黄金の旋風, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Ōgon no Kaze) and "Auto Modellista," which were both scheduled to be released in 2002. Along with the new title, a video showing a more complete version of the game was demonstrated, featuring models and assets closer to the ones found in the final game. In the video, Araki also remarked on the amazing expressiveness of 3D, saying that, "Thanks to how easy it handles and the dedication of Capcom's development team, I'm looking forward to being able to play this game again." The second game that Araki announced, Auto Modellista, was a racing game being developed by Capcom on the same engine as Golden Whirlwind, sharing similar cel-shaded graphics and visuals. At the end of the video, Araki also said, "Capcom is very particular about their work, so I'm expecting great things from them. This game will make you feel as if you were traveling alongside JoJo. You never know what will happen next."[4][5] This content comes from JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia (https://jojowiki.com), and must be attributed to its authors if you are using it on another wiki or web page, as specified in the license.
