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.

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.
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… 🤔
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
I only go for QUADRUPLE AAAA title now! Thanks Ubisoft
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.
Whatever you need to tell yourself that ‘This is fine’ is fine by me.

If the leaks are true, well that’s going to be a lot of copium being taken.
AAAAA or nothing for me.
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
You mean you don’t want a crAAAzy taxi?
Then again it’s SEGA, not the first company that comes to mind when naming the top game studios of today.
RGG Studio has been stellar, but yeah, I haven’t really played much else from Sega lately.
AAA means they’re going to charge $70 for it.
It better have steering wheel support or I’m not buying it.
What kind of wheel do you use?
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.
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.
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.
