My hype became fear, just like that.

And of course it will be full of micro-transaction bs. No thank you, I will keep playing my indie games instead.

CaptPretentious ,

You know it. Think of all the skins, decals, tires, and practical effects for the car. Then there’s going to be all the clothes for your character! Oh and spray paint for some reason, every game needs spray paints that everyone hates so it can fill up slots in the loot box!

dont quite think competitive taxi multiplayer online makes much of a great idea. maybe slap some AI on so all passengers tell you dreadfull long stories that make no sense…then I’m in

JCreazy ,

DOA

ieatpwns ,

Idk about yall but as soon as a publisher classifies their game as triple A it’s definitely Walmart discount bin quality to me

AceFuzzLord ,

Oddly enough, I saw the base Sims 4 and a couple expansions last time I was at Walmart. They were mixed in with the discount PC gambling, match 3, and other low quality games.

I wonder how many of the devs working on the title actually believe in this direction

Blackmist ,

Given that they’re still recruiting what seems like the whole dev team, including lead designer, I’d guess none.

This project exists solely in the heads of marketing. Expect a disaster with a begging bowl.

Wonder how much skins are going to be

A Crazy Taxi X Uber/Lyft skin pack would unironically probably sell well.

Renacles ,

Only 3 As Sega? I want at least 5.

ocassionallyaduck ,

So… Burnout Paradise, but with competition for fares?

I don’t want to play Uber: the Game.

Open world AAA is fine. Praying they are just blowing smoke with their MMO ambitions.

Squizzy ,

That game needed splitscreen, all I ever want those games to do is be multiplayer locally.

kippinitreal ,

If I had to guess why it didn’t have split screen was the open world. My guess it streaming assets from two different places on a huge map was costly to do twice (memory wise). Atleast when it was designed/launched.

Olap ,

Some fuckwit VP needs fired over this decision. It was a simple game: pickup fairs, earn extra time, unlock stuff as you progress. If a publisher want extra cash, do more levels, or different jobs (delivery driver addon anyone?). And a fun soundtrack

Should have been able to bang it out for a million quid, and then reap the rewards. But nooo, now we have a game nobody wants to play, costing 20mil and will have servers shut down 2 years after launch

Everything that is wrong with gaming in 2024

Vladkar ,

Surely this AAA-budget live service game with a terrible premise won’t faceplant immediately and force us to close the studio…but let’s make it an MMO, just to be safe.

maynarkh ,

Why AAA? Come on Sega, you can get it to AAAA, have people pay for time like back in the arcade days! Game starts, you get “Insert coin” and a microtransaction!

Dream big!

dhork ,

You can finish that buzzword bingo card by having players pay in crypto

bassomitron ,

I think the majority of developers have thrown in the towel on their crypto/NFT aspirations, thankfully.

CluckN ,

AAA means bigger budget which means more money. Investors don’t want a $30 sleeper hit they want a $60 game of the year edition that adds fishing.

snekerpimp ,

Yay! I won buzzword bingo on this one!

simple OP ,

I’m still missing AI and Metaverse on mine

Varyk ,

That doesn’t bode well

Chainweasel ,

So they’re turning it into a Driver/GTA clone?

Venator ,

Forza horizon clone.

bassomitron ,

Yeah, Forza Horizon is literally all I can think of with this announcement. The thing is, Forza has far more mass appeal due to the breadth of options it has. I am struggling to see how the hell Crazy Taxi could even come close to Forza’s variety.

The only thing I can think of, is they plan to make it like Twisted Metal meets Crazy Taxi, and by massively multiplayer they’re referring to server instances of 100+ players in a city area. You’ll have objectives to pick people up, but I would bet they’ll end up making it so you can also pick up illicit deliveries or even being a driver for bank robbers or something, similar to GTA Online. Sort of a PvPvE type system as well. If they combine all of those elements, I could see it being maybe fun. But I doubt it will end up fun.

Anyway, agreed with others that they should’ve just stuck to a smaller scale arcade style game. The previous games were all that way and they were successful and fun. I have no idea why they’d think changing that basic formula is a great idea for a game like this.
