No Sega, a remake of a, admittedly great, nearly 25 year old game is not a triple A game but does make you sound like a quadruple A-hole.

    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.

      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.

        If Rockstar made a fully-fledged open world Crazy Taxi game with the scale and quality of Red Dead or GTA, that is quite indisputably deserving of the “triple A” label. Putting aside where you draw the line for it to be considered AAA, they clearly mean that their goal is an AAA experience. It’s not that deep.

      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.

            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.

    “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.

    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?

    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.

    It was AAA back then so why wouldn’t a new game in that franchise also be AAA?
