Sega is teasing the new Crazy Taxi

[gastd]

After seven years of radio silence, there is a new sign of life from Crazy Taxi. A teaser video has been released on the official X account, setting the stage for the upcoming revival. A new installment in the cult series was announced back in 2023 at The Game Awards. However, since that initial announcement, there has been complete silence surrounding the project. The latest post breaks the silence that has reigned on the channel since 2019. The short clip shows the iconic taxi sign lighting up on the roof of the typical yellow convertible.

I was never good at it, but I'm glad it's back.

Wasn't SEGA hinting on reviving some old IPs recently? I hope they do

I just feel like a new Crazy Taxi is doomed. While I'm still excited for it, you can never recreate the magic of the original. The music alone, The Offspring and Bad Religion, was so important to that game that the HD remaster felt like it was severely lacking because it was missing.

Good news, but I won't get truly excited until I see a gameplay trailer with an actual release date.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Gives me hope that we may actually see that new Golden Axe and Streets of Rage

Wow, I used to play this game all the time, this is awesome!

Sega better not fuck this one up. Love this series, if they shove in microtransactions or other moden bullshit of the sort, I'm... dunno, gonna do something bad.
And now that I think about it, it's Sega, the PC release will definitively have denuvo, ugh. (if it releases there anyway)
But at least there's people actively cracking that cancer lately, so it won't be an issue for long.

Honestly they can't top the first two and how lame would a modern one be you responding to pick up requests sent via an app by passengers.

There's nothing inherently wrong with that as long as the gameplay is good and there'll probably be different modes for all we know. I reserve judgment until I see actual gameplay footage trailer or presentation. That said, I'm not gonna be overly cynical about it either.

 

[CheesyExplosive]

I got a better one

 

[seaglass]

Also hoping this, along with the new VF, means that Sega is starting to remember they have a lot of great IPs that have been dormant for too long. New Jet Set/Grind Radio please.

Nah, the modern smart tech obsession is pathetic
