Sega Announces Five New Games Based on Popular Franchises
During the December edition of The Game Awards, Sega made a shocking announcement that had fans everywhere buzzing with excitement. The gaming giant revealed not one, not two, but five new games based on some of their most popular franchises.
The announcement included new games for Golden Ax, Jet Radio, Ninjago, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi. Crazy Taxi, in particular, gained a lot of attention as it was a highly popular game after its release in 1999. The game centered around getting customers to their desired destinations in a yellow cab within a limited time frame.
While fans expressed their love for the original game, many are curious to see how the series will evolve with the reboot. In an interview with The Japan Times, the fairly new Sapporo Studio provided some insight into the new Crazy Taxi game, stating that they are working on “Participated in the development of Triple-A games including Crazy Taxi.”
This sparked a debate among fans about what this could mean for the game. Many are speculating about how the game will be modernized without losing its original charm. One concern is that Sega might ruin the simplicity of the game with unnecessary new features, as was the case with a sequel that included jumping cars.
The question now is, aside from improved graphics, how will Crazy Taxi receive a AAA modernization? Fans are eager to find out what the future holds for this beloved franchise.
