Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Why make two of the same IP that compete against or diminish each other, they could do the reboot taxi and have an ace classic mode for old fans using the same assets and stuff rather than produce two full new titles, especially if they add gaas-like stuff to the remake like cosmetics/multiplayer. It just seems like both will be half baked instead of get one potentially decent product. Granted Crazy Taxi has had multiplayer added before in the PSP ports, no clue how that worked, it's a high score based arcade game to begin with and needs different elements for live multiplayer to be enticing.
I could see them can the other thing if whichever comes first underperforms (even if justified), especially if the delays keep happening. Crazy Taxi 2 (and later) isn't as fondly thought of (probably a case of being less played by being on Dreamcast, not arcade, and fans of the original not bothering to learn the new cities), similar to Daytona USA vs Daytona USA 2 as despite the latter being amazing fewer arcade venues had it (given the cost of Model 3 machines, especially multiples for multiplayer) but releasing something barebones that only includes the very first game doesn't seem so great...

I don't understand how Sega is so efficient as to put out extremely high quality Like a Dragon games every one to two years that look great, play incredibly, have great acting and audio, tons of side quests and writing, and essentially no glitches while also being inefficient enough to take over three years for a fuckin update of a game where you drive taxis fast while listening to The Offspring and Bad Religion.

I was excited, now I’m likely to not touch it.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
Two crazy taxi games! TWO!
For my taste a remake of JSR Future would've been better though.

I can only tolerate so much gaas in one room!
It's Sega, we tend to forget which console it came from cause we stopped counting them.

I wonder which versions we saw in this trailer from months ago:
Also, screw all those other games, what's going on with Streets of Rage? That's the one I care about.

Crazy taxi and jet set, there's two of each game. One is a remake, the other is a gaas.
Days like these...

I'll buy it only if they put in the original offspring songs.
If not no buy. My memories.

The controls are not. Have you tried Bomb Rush Cyberfunk? It's basically JSR3.
Replayed JSR just a month ago and it's still very good.

Unreal Engine 5 has big installs?
Hellblade 2 - 70GB
Immortals - 70GB
Tekken 8 - 80GB
Lords of the Fallen - 50GB
Fortnite - 90GB
If I was to hazard a guess these games will probably top out at 70GB.
Jesus.
Just reading this comment Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah was playing in my head.
They have to relicense every song from the original OST else death!

Crazy Taxi is a game that actually fits a GaaS loop, it was a basic coin eater to begin with. It could be a really interesting one.
What's weird is this makes it sound like there will be two versions, a traditional stand alone and the GaaS. I think it's risky for them to launch those a different times, in the event that the traditional game gets overlooked it might make it hard to get the service game started.
