stepee Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This is better than what I thought - I feared it would be some weird nft grift or some shit.

Bacon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I was raised anti-sega until the Dreamcast. I enjoyed Crazy Taxi. Golden Axe has appeal but I need to see more of what it truly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Shinobi looked alright, but maybe not quite as fun looking as the Double Helix one. (nevermind, that’s Stryder ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 A big part of why Sega lost revelance was that they failed in the transition from video games being akin to home translation of arcade games, to longer/different experiences. I hope these are relatively low budget/priced games, otherwise I don't know how they will reflect the spirit of those classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Shinobi looks pretty awesome. As does Jet Set Radio. Actually they all look pretty dope, just those two in particular caught my eye. Still waiting on Skies of Arcadia. Not necessarily a sequel, but a remake could be all kinds of awesome. Better graphics, fully orchestrated soundtrack, all the extra stuff from the Gamecube version (and maybe even more?)…oh yeah.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Here's a Variety article with and an interview with Utsumi Sega Rebooting Retro Franchises Including Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage as Gaming Corp Eyes Hollywood Expansion VARIETY.COM Sega is eyeing new movies and rebooting a handful of retro franchises including Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio and Shinobi. Quote Beyond the five reboots announced, Utsumi says there are additional projects Sega is currently evaluating but has “not yet greenlit.” While nailing down specific release dates for the new Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio and Shinobi games is a long way away, Utsumi estimates that the earliest reboot will arrive “in the range of two years.” The reboots will feature all-new gameplay, and Utsumi promises they will appeal to both those who played the original titles and younger gamers who grew up clutching an iPad. The Sega COO, who also serves as CEO of Sega of America, said the company was inspired to mine its own IP from the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s because it believes gaming’s footprint in mainstream culture is growing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Maybe they could bring back this old game? I remember this game being expensive and very hard when I was a kid.

XxEvil AshxX Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The annoying thing about the idea of a new Crazy Taxi is that with today's tech, the city could be gigantic with randomly generated destinations, thus reducing the repetiveness, but you know it won't lol. Can't wait to go to KFC five times in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like Xbox has been really supportive of Sega. It's interesting because these "small" games like Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Golden Axe, etc are the opposite of what big publishers want nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if they do pop onto Game Pass day one, and I also wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft partially funded their development. Pure speculation on my part, but MS and Sega have been pretty cozy with each other ever since those photos popped up making it look like MS was gonna buy them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Crazy Taxi was one of the few games I had on the Dreamcast. I believe these are the only games I had on the system.
