The more As a game has the shittier it is. Which reminds me. Come check out my new game on my onlyfans. It’s a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA game which means it’s basically pong but with microtransactions and ads I’m sure it’ll be a hit.
EXACTLY! Oh man. You wanna know what game doesn’t have steering wheel support? Crusin’ USA. It’s only available on the switch. Like wtf Nintendo. Give this to us!
Oh right I remember that. But I think that didn’t have an open world, while crazy taxi did. Another one was a game where you drive a taxi in like a post apocylpse new york or something, like in escape from new york. Oh right: Quarantine 1994 while Crazy Taxi and Driver is from 1999. GTA III came out 2002*
AAA or not, Crazy Taxi was an arcade game so we can only hope they don’t veer the taxi off a cliff, or do veer it off a cliff (pun intended) as is appropriate for a good Crazy Taxi game!
Deus Ex, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Mario, Need For Speed, Sonic The Hedgehog, Tomb Raider etc. all have had AAA reboots and not always following the same formula as the originals. AAA games tend to chase the latest trends, reboots included. This isn’t to say all AAA reboots fail.
True about Deus Ex. But then the original was very much an early 2000s PC shooter (which do not work on consoles) and Invisible War was a disappointment.
Mortal Kombat
The first reboot didn’t change the gameplay all that much. It was more of a story-necessity to do a reboot: Armageddon ended with all the fighters dead. Ditto with MK11 but MK1 did change up the gameplay a bit more.
Mario
Mario? Mario as a franchise never really has been rebooted. Certain genres of Mario have though, like New Super Mario Brothers on DS.
Sonic
Oh boy…are you talking about 06 or Boom? Actually it doesn’t matter… Both are examples of how not to reboot a franchise.
Tomb Raider
The tomb raider reboots (both of them) do kinda make sense as all three eras are completely different gameplay styles.
Can’t comment on NFS, never really paid attention to the franchise.
“We’re responsible for titles such as Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis and Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage in cooperation with the bases in Tokyo and overseas,” Segawa explained, before bringing up the Crazy Taxi reboot.
“We are also participating in the development of triple-A titles, including Crazy Taxi,” he said. “At present, we don’t have any titles developed independently by the studio, but we intend to do so in the future.”
Dude’s just trying to communicate the scope of work his studio is involved with, I’m going to take the AAA remark with a grain of salt since it’s not from Sega.

Oh, so not Sega then.
AAA games has lost its meaning to me.
The more As a game has the shittier it is. Which reminds me. Come check out my new game on my onlyfans. It’s a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA game which means it’s basically pong but with microtransactions and ads I’m sure it’ll be a hit.
Well you know what that means: its gonna ship unfinished, half assed, and with tons of DLC.
It better have steering wheel support or I’m not buying it.
What kind of wheel do you use?
Round, preferably.
No yoke?
I would never yoke about something as serious as the wheel!
Logitech G928.
That’ll be a blast to use!
I know! I wish more games had this. It’s only driving simulators which is boring. I want this silly game in my life with a steering wheel.
If it does I’ll for sure play the hell out of it!
I loved the original in the arcade and it’ll be a blast with force feedback in my home.
EXACTLY! Oh man. You wanna know what game doesn’t have steering wheel support? Crusin’ USA. It’s only available on the switch. Like wtf Nintendo. Give this to us!
I wonder if anyone has made it work through emulation…? I feel like it’s such a classic that someone has had to do it by now.
A quick Google search shows it’s possible to get to work but it looks like a lot of work and a real pain.
I only go for QUADRUPLE AAAA title now! Thanks Ubisoft
Shitting into your hand simulator is my anticipated AAAA game.
Sound like a Games As A Service title! Better let EA handle that one
If it’s good I’ll give it a go once it’s on sale.
From what I remember it was kinda like a GTA 3 predecessor?
That was “Driver”
Oh right I remember that. But I think that didn’t have an open world, while crazy taxi did. Another one was a game where you drive a taxi in like a post apocylpse new york or something, like in escape from new york. Oh right: Quarantine 1994 while Crazy Taxi and Driver is from 1999.

AAA simply means a huge ass budget. Most AAA games stick to tried and true formulas because they are less risky
Deus Ex, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Mario, Need For Speed, Sonic The Hedgehog, Tomb Raider etc. all have had AAA reboots and not always following the same formula as the originals. AAA games tend to chase the latest trends, reboots included. This isn’t to say all AAA reboots fail.

maybe its got a 5th Element taxi level or something.

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of the content of the article?
They got confused and meant Segawa
Fuckin hype!
Sorry, do I have to be an insufferable, cynical pessimist to comment here?
No you can be a delusional, corporate happy pill taking person that loves live service games and the enshitification of the gaming sphere drowning in microtransactions driven by psychologists designed specifically to prey on addiction to comment.
it’s the beauty of the 1st amendment.
I feel the need to be pedantic here: the first amendment has nothing to do with speech on private platforms.
Oh good, I was worried it would be AAAA.
Yeah, it better be AAAAA
Quad A is to good
It’s too bad. Uni have is a sweet treat of AAAA having. We can’t go back now
AAAAA or nothing for me.
I cannot imagine it’ll be any good
crazy taxi was an “arcade” game, basically.
How they gonna fuck this up?
Not even basically, it literally was an arcade game.
