Sega announced that the bar is set high for the upcoming Crazy Taxi remake. According to the company, the quality of the game will be high. Let’s take a look at the details of the statement.
Crazy Taxi remake will be a AAA game
First, let’s explain what a AAA game is with examples. For example, most indie games, including Enis Kirazoğlu’s game Anomaly Agent, are A games, games like Mount & Blade: Warband are AA games, while games like GTA 5 are AAA games.
Shiftdelete.netThe number of A’s in the category represents the budget of the game, and the release prices of these games are also quite expensive. The standard price of a AAA game today is around 60-70 dollars.
According to Sega’s statement, Crazy Taxi will also be in the AAA category, which means that its budget is quite large. Therefore, it seems that the price of the game will be 70 dollars. If they do not make local pricing, the price of the game will be at least 1.400 TL in our country.
First announced during The Game Awards 2023, the trailer for the Crazy Taxi remake was enough to raise the excitement level, even though details were scarce at the time.
Since then, updates on the project’s progress have been quiet. Now, a new article published by the Japan Times has shed some light on Sega’s plans, with Takaya Segawa, the head of Sega’s support studio in Sapporo, saying that the Crazy Taxi remake will be AAA level.
Remedy Entertainment made exciting announcements for Max Payne remake and Control 2. Here are the details!
Segawa said the following: “In collaboration with our studios in Tokyo and overseas, we are responsible for games such as Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis and Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage! We are also involved in the development of AAA games, including Crazy Taxi.”
For those who don’t know, Crazy Taxi was released in arcades in 1999 before gaining widespread popularity with console releases, most notably on the Dreamcast. The game puts players in the driver’s seat and asks them to navigate crowded city streets, picking up and dropping off passengers within a time limit and performing various stunts to rack up points.
