I’ve been an avid Crazy Taxi player for the past ten years, so much so that I’ve already owned three different versions of the game. As a young teenager most of my days were spent playing Crazy Taxi from the time I came home from school until I was forced to go to sleep, with extra long marathons on most weekends. Needless to say I was and still am quite fixated on the madness that is Crazy Taxi, so when I found out my beloved game was making the jump to next-gen I couldn’t wait to take a ride.
Amidst the thrilling TGA 2023, Sega landed with a bang, bringing not one, not two, but five classics, including Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
Sega rocks and I'm excited that these classics are getting attention. Bring it on! Sega!
I’m just happy that some suits at Sega have finally woken up to realize they have literal gold in their library well worth bringing back to a modern audience.
I’m hoping they can also bring back Virtua Tennis (doesn’t need licenses), Sega Rally, etc.
I'm right there with you. Now I just need more time to play all that I want to play. My backlog is killing me.
Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio reboot rumours are heating up again as a new SEGA survey points toward a next-gen makeover for these iconic franchises.
I want to see a new ESPN Extreme Games, that first game on PS1 was so funny, and the video segments with that woman mocking you.
The Gamer Writes "The video game industry has grown rapidly over the years. With millions of titles in existence today, gamers are sure to find a game they would enjoy. However, despite the numerous modern titles launched, retro games continue to thrive and remain popular among gamers. There is just something about these old-school gems that provide us with a sense of joy and comfort different from what modern experiences can offer."
The price of nostalgia, indeed. Lazy ports are lazy. Shame.
One day, companies will realize that unless they do more than just spruce up graphics then you should leave classic games the way they are and on their original console. Not that I'm against ports or remakes. In fact, I'm fond of them as long as there is some form of effort put into it.
