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.
You must log in or register to comment.
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.
You just made some executive somewhere cum
If they charge 70 bucks for it and include the mtx store then it’ll be even better as a AAAA game.
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.
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.
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.
I wouldn’t trust those clowns with it anyway, they killed Midnight Club to make a worse version of it in GTA online.
They clearly mean whatever the fuck they want and fuck you pay us $70.
I only go for QUADRUPLE AAAA title now! Thanks Ubisoft
Shitting into your hand simulator is my anticipated AAAA game.
Sound like a Games As A Service title! Better let EA handle that one
AAA means they’re going to charge $70 for it.
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.
Oh good, I was worried it would be AAAA.
Quad A is to good
It’s too bad. Uni have is a sweet treat of AAAA having. We can’t go back now
Yeah, it better be AAAAA
How about the triple A remake of Pong we’ve all been waiting for?
That’s a PC2 exclusive
Pong RTX
We do have a AAA space invaders called infinity gene…
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?
Well I’m sold
Here’s my $70!
Can’t say until we see it lol
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.
AAA games has lost its meaning to me.
Don’t forget, Sega called out these games along side things like subscription services https://www.tweaktown.com/news/94151/segas-new-super-game-set-for-2026-may-include-crazy-taxi-or-jet-radio-live-games/index.html
It better have steering wheel support or I’m not buying it.
What kind of wheel do you use?
Round, preferably.
No yoke?
I would never yoke about something as serious as the wheel!
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.
AAAAA or nothing for me.
It was AAA back then so why wouldn’t a new game in that franchise also be AAA?
“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.
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of the content of the article?
They got confused and meant Segawa
