I’m sure they will take everything that made the original game great and bin it in a misguided attempt to appeal to a customer base they don’t understand.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I believe the switch emulators support online local play. So if a game supports multiple switches connecting to each other without using the internet, then you can use this to play online instead with other emulator users.
However, if you want to connect to Nintendo’s servers that isn’t possible.
Isn’t this what the ESRB rating description is for? We label games M for Mature if there’s swearing, blood, violence, and sex, but not for insensitive cultural stereotypes?
Wtf the whole purpose of the trailer is supposed to highlight some of the cooler stuff in the game to make people want to buy it and THIS is their response? This just tells me that they seriously misjudged what people want and the game is very likely to be even worse than what we saw
Bloober Team aren’t the ones making the marketing materials and are also upset at how bad the trailer is. Konami very likely is misrepresenting the game because the paper pushers and the ones not actually working on the game used their marketing degrees to piece together a corporate video.
From article notes, it sounds like disjointed artistic messaging between departments, in this case development and marketing.
For what it’s worth, it is RARE for a developer to directly throw marketing under the bus by saying anything other than “We stand by our messaging blah blah”, so for the president to agree the trailer is bad is kind of significant, and might even get him internal flak.
I’m glad they did that, change on a remake or something, I don’t recall if they actually did it for Anniversary since it was still a ps2 game, but if games are art they should be preserved as they were, this is just a remaster that you can even play with the old graphics if you want.
