Please just give us what we want: micro-transactions to paint the taxi different colors and then a skin for $50 to change the taxi into a London black cab.
Then it will truly be AAA
It will be a shared world multiplayer-first service game so it can be an AAAA game like that recently released Black Flag add-on that got out of control.
You just made some executive somewhere cum
If they charge 70 bucks for it and include the mtx store then it'll be even better as a AAAA game.
Oooh I have an idea: instead of in-game MTX tie it to a soda product, like Coke, and make it that every time you get more Coke PointZ you can unlock a new in-game skin that makes your car into a rolling advertisement for Coke.
The only way to get the right amount of Coke PointZ is to buy a 24 pack a week for 3 months, or a 20 oz bottle a day for 5 months, and half the PointZ expire after a month and a half.
Coke, you have my contact info.
You realize that AAA is used to refer to the budget, scale, and expectations of the game, right? And that it's more of a reboot than a remake, meaning it's probably not going to be an arcade style game. They're talking about their aims for the game, and trying to justify charging $60-70 for it beforehand.
I only go for QUADRUPLE AAAA title now! Thanks Ubisoft
AAA means they're going to charge $70 for it.
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.
How about the triple A remake of Pong we've all been waiting for?
I think it's fine to have a AAA "reboot". I mean look at the DOOM games. Not everything needs to be new IP and there is some old IP that definitely could use if nothing else a coat of paint and some UI/UX updates.
But do we want an AAA Crazy Taxi? I'd rather just have a simple arcade-y game tbqh
Yeah I'm actually pumped for this game. I secretly hope they'll have PC steering wheel support so I can disable all my normal range of motion and do the whacky driving like the arcade game haha. Also fine if not, I'd happily play this title on my PS5 too. It's ok to have minimal expectations for a game even if they don't have everything you want imo.
Just wanna get some airtime in the San Francisco hills haha.
AAA games has lost its meaning to me.
Don't forget, Sega called out these games along side things like subscription services https://www.tweaktown.com/news/94151/segas-new-super-game-set-for-2026-may-include-crazy-taxi-or-jet-radio-live-games/index.html
Fuckin hype!
Sorry, do I have to be an insufferable, cynical pessimist to comment here?
“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.
It was AAA back then so why wouldn't a new game in that franchise also be AAA?
These AAA games are as AAA as the mortgage bonds were in 2007 lol.
They think AAA still means quality games. Triple A is synonymous with broken garbage in today's world.
AAAAA or nothing for me.
according to Sega
“ The upcoming reboot of Crazy Taxi will be a triple-A game, according to one of the Sega studios working on it.”
Oh, so not Sega then.
What would that even look like? Is it becoming a game like Driver instead of just arcade timed fun?
Death Stranding.
CEOs: Hey, hey, hey! It's time to make some craaazzyyyy money! Here we gooooo!
It's a reboot. They could definitely turn it into a AAA budget production. Maybe make it an open world GTA clone, like the Yakuza series; where 90% of the game is side activities that don't even involve driving a taxi.
With the leak/rumor that is going to be a GaaS with a 100 player survival mode well it's a distinct possibility.
Hold up... Battle Royale in CRAZY TAXI? GaaS wouldn't be surprising, but that last bit gives me doubts. Then again... It's an arcade game. I suppose instead of a high score table, it could be an elimination thing... 🤔
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.
maybe its got a 5th Element taxi level or something.
Not just the original music and licensed brands but also no DLCs and DRM, then we'll talk!
