How is nobody talking about this, from the article?

It was also referenced that this will be the case for Jet Set Radio, which will also receive a remake of its own before securing a live service reboot. In an exclusive reveal, Midori claimed that the reboot will feature ‘shooting elements’ and will be like Fortnite in its design. It’ll reportedly feature an open-world ‘concept’ with a solid focus on exploration as an all-new story unravels.

So Jet Set Radio is going to get the same treatment? Wow. It’s hard to imagine my excitement for either game being killed so efficiently and instantly. Those MBAs sure got it all figured out.

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Shooting elements plus graffiti is just splatoon

Zahille7,

Why would they put any kind of combat in Jet Set? The originals didn’t have any combat, other than shoving down cops and spraying them with paint. The same thing is true for BRC which came out last August.

AceFuzzLord,

Assuming this stuff is true, I will 100% pass on both games. 100% disappointed.

GunValkyrie,

Have you played Bomb Rush Cyberpunk? I thought it was a great take on the JSR formula.

Not really mad about it. It’s an older type of game, mechanics are almost obsolete even by arcade standards. This is an easy money maker for Sega and probably won’t cost very much for them to implement. I doubt anyone is expecting a legitimately new Crazy Taxi single player game anymore.

Ew, no.

100 player survival mode could be fun. It worked for Tetris and Mario, and I can imagine something similar would work for Crazy Taxi.

As long they manage to maintain a steady player base and stay away from predatory monetary practices - which probably is just wishful thinking.

HeyJoe,

My guess is after the first year they lower it to 50 since there won’t be that many people playing it. Fall guys did it after 3 years, it was sad to lose the 60 person levels which are now 40 if your lucky.

EnmaAi22,

I feel like fall guys developers are doing everything in their power to have to further reduce this to 30 lol

Blackmist,

I feel that was mostly so the Switch could run it without having an electronic stroke.

It ran like shit enough on the PS4…

TwilightVulpine,

To be fair, to me this does not seem that bad an idea. Live service games share a lot of DNA with arcades. That’s easiest to see in mobile, where people play many short matches rather than long campaigns.

…frankly that also includes predatory monetization. People forget that games used to be so hard way back when so that they would gobble up kids’ quarters.

For better or worse, live service Crazy Taxi seems to me like a faithful conversion of the original idea to the current day gaming landscape.

And just like that, my interest in either Crazy Taxi or Jet Set Radio evaporates into the ether.

I wasn’t expecting much but this news is disappointing. Hopefully the remake and live-service game are completely separate from one another.

Next up: empty Sonic levels until you buy packs of rings.

Stick with me here… 100 sonics airdrop on to a giant map…

magic_lobster_party,

Could be like Mario 35, which was pretty fun

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

We already had Sonic with guns and Sonic kissing a human princess. Nothing will ruin my affection for the blue hedgehog.

imPastaSyndrome,

What about a sonic game where your have to unlock his spincharge?

Facebones,

This is why Frontiers map is so empty

SONIC 100

I fear for Jet Set Radio. Edit: nevermind i guess they are trying to ruin that too

At least we got Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

First Shenmue got all messed up and now this. Nothing is sacred lol. I hope they reassess their head in assery

Well i mean… at lwast we’re getting a remake…

I wonder if everybody just buy the remake and completely ignore the live service bs, do you think Sega would abandon the idea for their next titles?..

Who am i kidding, Sega never learn from their mistakes.

I mean, they were obviously going to add more modes if they want the game to be AAA. The Original games were basically a 5 minute arcade loop....

Eyck_of_denesle,

5 minute arcade loop that me and my brother replayed for like a 10,000 times.

Doesn't matter. Mile High Taxi already superseded Crazy Taxi. Just play that.

RinseDrizzle,

Flying taxi game? I saw some pretty mixed feedback on that which turned me off from checking it out

BarrierWithAshes,
@BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social avatar

It's average. Which is about the same I feel for the original Crazy Taxi.

RinseDrizzle,

Lol, I mean fair

BOOOO

This is what happens when you wish for the resurrection of a beloved IP. Another finger on the monkey's paw curls. The idea of a Crazy Taxi live service game is weird enough, but it's just bizarre that they are using Fortnight as a major inspiration for the Jet Set Radio reboot. I guess at the very least we are getting proper remakes of these games alongside the live service reboots. It will be interesting to see how the games do head to head, especially with the difficulties live service games have been having lately.

how do companies NEVER learn? I seriously can’t fathom watching industry failures time after time and still thinking “this time will be different”.

inclementimmigrant,

No because gamers by and large keep defending and buying this shit.

inclementimmigrant, (edited ) do games w New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode'

Well I made a flippant comment about how I thought this would be SEGA being shitty and how people were in denial that SEGA, the publisher that just recently locked new game+ behind a not so microtransaction, would be doing this game dirty.

If these leaks are true, makes me sad but vindicated…

ETA: thegamer.com/sega-new-crazy-taxi-live-service-ins…

Maybe a bit of hope since this report states they want to do a remake before moving toward enshitification.
